BATON ROI.IOF., 1j-, Nov. J. The. cause
vl one of the moat dramatlo shootings In
Louisiana' recent history, when Judge
George K. Favrot last night killed his life
long aasociate, fir. H. U. Aid rich, was
mill unknown early today. The fact that
' Judge Pavrot, the leading figure among
Louisiana's democratic congressional nomi
nees, was on Tuesday elected by a ma
' jmUy demonstrating unusual . popularity,
' that both men were married and occupied
; respected positions at the state capltol, and
the clrcumatances that the street near
whloh the shooting ' occurred wss at the
time filled with leading officials ot the
1 Ity. accompanied in some cases by their
. wives, made an unusual setting for the
tragedy. '
i Fully a thousand persona attended the
funeral today of Dr. H, Aldrlch, who was
killed last night by Congressmsn-e'ect
Favrot. Meanwhile a host of friends rallied
about Judge Favrot, visiting him at the
jail and two lawyers who have at times
be n hi political opponents volunteered
tlinir services In his defense.
Although Judge Favrot maintained id
iom e aa to 1 be cause of the tragedy, his
rriend todsy isaued a statement that "he
followed the unwritten law." acting In the
Iwllef that he was avenging- an affront to
WASHINGTON, Nov. .-"Goodby, I am
going down to see how the ditch is getting
along," shouted President Roosevelt as he
stood on the after starboard deck of the
yacht Mayflower at the Washington navy
yard as the vessel was leaving the dock
with the president for his Panama trip.
Accompanying the president were Mrs.
Roosevelt and her maid. Surgoon General
Rixey of the navy and M. C. Latta, one of
the assistant secretaries of the White
House. The Mayflower will take the party
to Wolf Trap light, at the mouth of the
Rappahannock liver in Chesapeake toy,
where a transfer will be made to the bat
tleship Louisiana, which is to convey the
president to and from the Isthmus. As tho
ship passed the lower end of the navy yard
a parting president's salute of twenty-one
guna was fired.
The Louisiana will be convoyed to and
from the Isthmus by the armored ciulscrs
Tennessee and Washington. The president
will spend four days on the Isthmus, lie
will arrive at Colon Thursday, November
15, where he Is to be greeted aboard ship
by President Amadaor of Panama and Mrs.
Amador, . Chairman Shouts and other of
ficials of the canal commission. A consid
erable portion of that day will be spent at
La. Boca and Ancon, the train making a
slow run across the isthmus in order to give
an opportunity to see the sights and make
an examination of the work. At La Boca
there Is to be an Inspection of the present
terminals of the old French canal and the
Panama railroad, following which theie
will lie a trip to nearby Islands, where the
president is to be shown the proposed actual
Paclflc end of the canal In deep water and
Its approaches. In the afternoon there is
to. be a sightseeing trip around AWon hill.
At Ancon the day ia to bs made a 'Tletta''
with the tow nv decorated and Illuminated.
The president and party are to be driven
In carriages through the principal streets.
accompanied by an escort on horseback.

contemplates a visit to and Inspection of
NKW YORK. Nov. 8,-Wlth the uffliial
vote of but thiee counties missing tonlghi,
Lewis Sttiyveannt Chanler apparently Is
elected lieutenant governor on the democratic-Independence
leaguo ticket by a plu
rality of approximntely 1,700 votes over
M. Linn Bruce, republican. To arrive at
these figures Bruce's probablo pluralities
In thf counties of Kssex, Ontario and Ni
agara are based on the vote for tho re
publican gubernatorial candidate. Fulton
county Is also missing excepting a state
ment of Unices plurality over Chanler.
Whilo sllpht changes may bo made in the
returns from several counties. It is not be
lieved they will materially reduce Chan
lor's lead, but on the contrary may in
crease it.
It appears late tonight that all the other
candidates 011 the democratic state ticket
are elected by small pluralities, ell of which
will exceed Chanler'.
The count In Queen's county Is under In
vestigation by the office of the state at
torney general. The reason for It is un
known. ,
Chairman Woodruff ot the state repub
lican committee said::
"I am neither claiming nor conceding
anything. In tho case of Bruco probubly
the courts will have to pass on the void
ballots, possibly as many as 15,000."
Very nearly full returns from all coun
ties of the vole for governeir gives Hughes
746.334, Hearst 684,722. Hughes' plurality,
61,612.
Hughes' plurality outside of Greater New
York was 136,338. Hearst's plurality In
Greater New York was 74.726.
Democrats Cbanate Fraud.
Chairman Conners said this afternoon
that the republicans were holding; back
the leturnH; that fraud was being practiced
and that in his opinion there were enough
Independence lentrue ballots not counted to
reduce greatly Mr. Hughes' plurality and
possibly elect Mr. Hearst.
"I decided early today to call the demo
cratic state committee together to protect
the interests of the state ticket." said
Chairman Connors. "From telegrams I have
received It is plain that the republican ma
chine Is resorting to Its old thievish knav
ery in order to beat our ticket. There Is
absolutely no doubt that the ticket is
elected with the exception of Mr. Hearst
There Is also no doubt that the return are
being held back. There Is no doubt that
Bruce Is running behind Hughes up the
slate. I firmly believe that sufficient Inde
pendence league votes have not been counted
In many counties to decrease greatly the
pluralities of Hughes and possibly elect
Mr. Hearst. We are going to get an honest
count of the vote and we are not only
going to protect the men making the can
vass next Tuesday, but we are going right
to work now on the matter."
Henry Clews today gave out the follow,
ing letter which, he received from President
,Rooaeveit In reply to a telegram of con
gratulation on-he buUxMite -of tfre 'elec
tion: ' '
Dear Mr. Clews I have received your tel
egram. No men is to be more congratu
lated than your son-in-law (Herbert Par

committee). What a trump he is, and what
a mixture of devotion to a high Ideal and
resolute, practical, common-sense efficiency
he has displayed. Sincerely yours,

BUFFALO, Nov. . Peter A. Porter, who
defeuted Representative Wadsworth ill the
Thirty-fourth congressional district, is
quoted in an interview today as disclaiming
what iie called "revolutionary" Intentions.
His present desires, he said, were limited
to the putting into practice of the opinions
which he had been placing before the peo
ple during the campaign.
"Welfare of the agricultural interests
which I represent will be my chief aim,"
said he. "I have taken a stand in opposi
tion to the oleomargarine interests which
I shall maintain. ' Any attempt to annul
the legislation which Imposed a tax upon
the tallow product will meet with my deter
mined opposition.
"I am strongly In favor of the proposal
to compel meat packers to stamp upon each
can the date on which It was packed. This
was embodied in a clause In the meat bill
which was struck out by the committee of
which Mr. Wadsworth was chairman.
These were clear-cut issue of the cam
paign, and It is my intention to carry out
to the letter the opinions which I have ex
preated In connection therewith."

more searching Investigation Into the re

Perhaps the most surprised people of all
were the railroads, for none of those In

Each company had made its best endeavors
to disclaim any criminality In its rela

The grand jury has been almost. In con

INSURANCE CASE ON TRIAL
ten York Life Ofllclnls Aeensrd of
Spending Company' Money
In Electioneering.
NEW YORK, Nov. 8. Justice Dowiing in
the New York state supreme court today
heard arguments of counsel for the lnt'-r-national
policy holders' committee and the
New York Life Insurance company in an
attempt by a policy holder to prevent the
trustees of the company from expending
Its funds In conducting a campaign to
elect the administration ticket of trustees.
Stephen Farrelly of this city was the pol
icy holder who applied to the courts for
an injunction .to restrain an alleged waste
of the company's funds and an accounting
of the funds already alleged to have been
expended in the campaign.
It is slleged In the complaint that the de
fendants caused to lie printed 800,000 bal
lots similar to the ofnciul ballot, placed
them In return envelopes and sent them
to the agents of the company with In
structions to place on each ballot ihe num
ber of a policy and to cross off the names
of the candidates of the international com
mittee's ticket. It is charged that this was
done to secure the return of the ballot in
advance ot the Issue of the official ballot,
that the postage stamps were so placed ac
to Identify the envelopes when returned to
the company and that advances of many
thousands of dollar were made to the
agents to cximoensate them for their efforts
to elect the 1 ('ministration ticket.
Jamea H. Mcintosh, attorney to the New
York Life Insurance company, said the
electioneering campaign was perfectly fair.
The agents Informed each policy holder
that there were two tickets In the field
and asked him to vote the administration
ticket and that the letter was sent -at the
expense of the agent. He denied that the
company' office staff Issued the letters.
