Chicago, Oct. 31. As the national
campaign draws to a close, careful
estimates of the situation throughout
branches of the next, the Sixty-sev-branches
of he next, the Sixty-seventh,
congress will be controlled by
the republican party.
The senate, it is admitted, will re
main close. The democrats are
claiming they will make enough
trains to overturn the present repub
lican majority of two, but latest re
ports from republican states, where
senatorial battles are fiercest, indi
cate that the republicans will tri
umph in a majority of them.
From a neutral standpoint, the
prediction is that the, republicans
will make a net Rain of one or two
seats, which would give them a ma
jority in the next senate of three or
tour, inis majoruy win "
new senate a vote or two stronger
against the league cf , nations cove
nant. ;.
Gain in House Sure.
Pvnnblicans are certain to make
a net gain in the house of represent
atives. The aemocrais arc -humus
claims to big gains in the middle
west. They may gain . some, but
they are almost certain to' lose some,
also, and a conservative estimate is
that the next nouse win oc icyuu
lican by at least 40 votes.
There are 34 senators to be elected
on Tuesday, in 33 states. Two are
to be elected in Alabama, and in Vir
ginia, Senator Carter Glass, appoint
ed to fill a vacancy, will be elected
for a) short term.
Of- these 34, 14 republicans are re
garded as practically certain of elec
tion and 13 democrats are generally
conceded. That leaves seven states
in doubt Colorado, Idaho, Indiana,
Maryland, Missouri, .Oregon and
Wisconsin. 1 , ...
In the senate fights, the most hot
ly contested are in Wisconsin, In
diana, Maryland and Missouri.
Keen political observers, who, a
few weeks ago, were inclined to put
Connecticut, New Hampshire, Utah,
and Kentucky in "the doubtful col
umn also have taken them out They
agree that the suffrage fight against
Senator Brandegee in Connecticut
will not defeat him, that Senator
Moses in New Hampshire has suc
cessfully met threatening league op
position, that Senator Smoot appears
to hve straightened out his difficul
ties with the Mormon church over
the league issue, and that Kentucky j
robably will return Senator Beck
urn to his seat.
Outcome in Doubt .
In Indiana, where Thomas .Tag
art, democrat, is making a stubborn
scht against Senator Watson, repub
.'an. the outcome appeared to hinge
the residential result.
In Maryland republicans have by
no means given up hope ot defeating
Senator John Walter Smith with O,
E. Weller, although the democrats
insist that if there was any doubt
about the situation it was removed
when Cardinal Gibbons came out for
Cox and the league of nations. This,
they declare, will make the whole
state democratic. -,
In Missouri, republican leaders felt
confident Senator Spencer would be
re-elected, defeating ' former As
sistant Secretary of State Brecken
ridge Long. Senator Spencer's con
troversy with President Wilson over
the later's speech at Paris promising
American military aid to Europe, it
is declared, has strengthened the re
publican candidate's position in the
state.
In other doubtful states, latest re
turns indicate that the democrats
may lose Senator Chamberlain in
Oregon, his opponent, , Robert H.
Stanfield, having come forward' by
leaps in the last week.' An observer
who reached Chicago from Oregon
said that Chamberlain looked to be
beaten.

the short speech. They cheered his
hits at one-man government and
bade him good-bye in a great roar of
ipplause when the train pulled out.
'i have some notion about the
tthics of politics," he said, "which
made me feel that I did not care to
eome to Dayton with a republican
message and personally deliver it.
I like to respect those who speak
for opposite parties. 1 am a believer
In government through political
parties. It has been.; my good for
tune to be called upon as the candi
date of the republican-party and in
that capacity I have sought to know
my fellow Americans, and I -very
Tnuch want you to know me."
He added an apology for the short
'top made by his train, saying Jthat
the campaign fund whicft weos
,ess is not so large as some of you
nay have heard or thought, and we
ire not traveling on a special train."
He also exhibited a republican cir
cular outlining his economic policy,
but before he could comment on it
the train started away without warn
ing. The nominee narrowly escarp
being thrown over into the crowd
and several members of his party
and one of the train crew were left
behind. -
Two speeches were made by the
senator in Springfield, where there
was a stop of more than an hour.
One was m Memorial hall, packed by
a crowd that cheered him repeatedly
and the other was to an overflow
that blocked the street outside. To
both audiences he restate! his posi
tion on the league, but declared the
first consideration of 'the republic
must be "to put our own house in
order." ,
In his speech in the Springfield
Memorial hall the senator repeated
his declaration that his party had
only employed honest political meth
ods in the campaign and added:
"l rejoice that I can look yon in
the face and tell you this, and no
matter what happens next Tuesday
I stfll can look yoo in the face and
tell you of it," .

Fireman in Debris

Police Inspector Pattullo kept thou

Fire Commissioner Harry Zim
man, who arrived on the scene short?
ly after the fire started, refused to
allow his men to enter, the ruins to
search for the missing fireman for
fear the west 'wall would collapse.
E. E. Hayduk, who is a state fire
warden, declared he may demand
an investigation into the actions of
fire captains in ordering their men
out of the building when they knew
one of them was. lying beneath the
debris. -;
Fire Chief Salter stated that he

ing were covered with water.
Three ambulances and six , doc
tors were summoned by ' Commis
sioner Zimman after he learned that
several men were injured.
The fire was discovered by ' Ted
Hanson, police chauffeur, who was
at the police garage, and M. Mar-
Kovitz, clothing merchant, 1115
Douglas street. '
General Alarm,
"It was about 7:45 when I saw
the fire," said Mr. Markovitz. "It
seemed to me that the fire started
in the middle of the building, be
cause I saw flames shooting sky
ward from the center of the west
wall."
When Chief Salter arrived upon
the- scene, he said the second and
third stories were in flames. He
then sent in a general alarm which
tial districts.
Fearing a collapse of the south
wall, Salter was forced to throw
the aerial ladder on the Marshall
Paper Co.'s building.
"It is iust one of those unfortunate
fires.'.'' Zimman and Salter said. "A
small building filled with pianos and
phonographs which makes, a quick
fire is harder to fight than fires in
larger buildings." -
Third Fire in Year.
The building now resembles a
hollow shell with pianos and phono
graphs piled on each other. The
Schmoller-Mueller Co. bought the
building from Fred Busch, owner
of the transfer company, six months
ago and had only taken complete
possession of the building yester
day. Busch told police that he sold
the building for $20,000.
The only theory advanced by
police and firemen for theorigin of
the fire is that workmen in the em
ploye of Fred Busch were moving
some seeds belonging to Busch from
the building and it is believed that
cigarettes were thrown in some
paner near the elevator shaft
This is the third fire that the com
pany has suffered in the past year.
The first, of unknown origin, was
confined to the rear of the . store
building in 1311 Farnam street. The
second fire completely gutted 'the
tame building.

Narcotic Ring
I&Discovered
French Countess Said by Fed

Of World Smuggling 1
j Gang.
By I'nlveraal Service.
Washino-tnn. Ort. 31. Great mvs-
tery surrounds the operations of a
gang ot international arug smug
glers, with headquarters in Paris,
Amsterdam and New York, who
have been just uncovered by agents
of the secret service.
The transactions of the ring
which is said to be dominated by a
French countess, was characterized
by Col. W. L. Nutt, chief of the nar
cotic division, bureau of internal
revenue, as the most extensive ever
known in the United States.
Discovery of the ring followed
an attempt by a woman, reputed to
be a countess and bearing the fa
mous Holland name of Von Heyst,
to ' bring a big package of drugs
into New York three weeks ago.
She was found by the authorities
shortly after landing from a liner,
told all he knew and is now help
ing the government.
Brought to Washington she pro
tested her innocence and demanded
protection of The . Netherlands le
gation. She was permitted to con
fer with the counsellor of legation
and charge d'affaires, Jonkheer
Dr. W. H. De Beaufort.
Claims Innocence.
"When this woman whom I knew
as Mrs. von Heyst came to me she
said she was in trouble with the
authorities over the smuggling of
drues," he explained.
' "She insisted that sne was an in
nocent victim. I advised her to
retain lawyers and prove her inno
cence. 1
"Is she really the Countess von
Heyst?" Dr. De Beaufort was asked.
"I couldn't realhNsay as to that,"
he answered. "But we have only
a very few countesses and 1 tnmic
I should know her if she were one
of them." ' , ;
Mrs. von Heyst took the charge
d'affaires' advice, so far as the law
yers were concerned, for when she
appeared at the narcotic bureau she
hv two of them.
At that time she wore a number
of medals which she stated had been

"Mrs." Von Heyst's story, so far

that drugs found in her possession
were handed to her by a nobleman

the case, Mr. Kramer said:
"Such a case would be entirely in
the hands of Col. W. L. Nutt. the
head of the narcotic department."
Further than to admit that it is
one of the most important of its kind
he has known, Col. Nutt refused to
discuss the case. Publication of the
details, he intimated, might seriously
upset the government's plans.
Soldiers Will Have
Opportunity to Get
College Education
Washington, Oct. 31. Opportu
nity to obtain college educations
soon will be open to mehf of the
United States army, the War de
partment announced, in making
public a plan whereby it will be pos
sible within the next year for more
than 100 qualified - soldiers to lay
aside their uniforms and enroll as
students in. as many colleges.
The department described the proj
ect as "a definitely Conceived plan
to make the army an organization
of the fullest educational opportunity
and to offer soldiers the same chance
for mental improvement which they
might secure in civil life."
Thirty-eight colleges and univer
sities, - the department stated, have
agreed to furnish tuition and other
aid to soldier students; 52 have sig
nified their ability to grant tuition
or a reduction in fees, and 74 others
.have the matter under consideration.
Employes of the Chelsea division
of the Eastern Massachusetts Street
Railway . company liave signified
their intention of taking over the
management of the line, assuming
any losses, if there be any. By
taking over control of the line the
employes believe that they cannot
only operate the line at a prlfit, but
reduce the rate of fare.

Alleged Trend
To Cox Claimed
Only a Mirage
Knowing Democrats
Said to
Be Indulging in Ghost
: Dance to Keep Up Com-
rades Courage.
Washington, D. C, Oct. 31.
(Special Telegram.) The democrats
are expecting a miracle to happen to
them next Tuesday. The republic
ans are relying on mathematics to
give them the victory. While there
is much claiming among the demo
crats, the knowing ones are indul
ing in ghost dances for the, purpose
of keeping the rank and file on the
job of trying to elect Governor Cox
and stemming the landslide that
seems about ready to start.
The trend to Cox, which some of
the eastern democratic newspapers
are featuring on their front pages.
is a mirage. There has not been
any drift to the democratic candi
date since Governor Cox's invasion
of the east; but the report has been
of immense benefit to the republic
ans in relieving them of their cock
sureness of victory by'forchijf them
to put forth redoubled efforts for
Harding and Coolidge.
At national headquarters here,
there is every reason to expect a
great popular uprising of the people
for Senator Harding. All reports in
dicate that an .avalanche will over
whelm Governor Cox on Tuesday,
next, and that the republicans will
not only elect their presidential
ticket by a large majority, but will
elect a republican senate and house.
Forecast by States.
After a careful , and conservative
canvass of the political situ
ation as it appears . today, the
writer believes that Harding "Will
carry the following states (numerals
refer to number of electoral votes:)
California, 13; Colorado, 6; Con

Figures Conservative.
At first glance these figures look
as if the republican claims were ex
aggregated, but on close analysis
they will be found to be conservative.
It may not be out of i-hce to re
call that in practically all the pons
and straw votes that have been taken
and in the betting, the reflections of
current opinion show the popular
belief . that Mr. Lox has no real
chance of election. ; '
I have placed Maryland in the
republican column because all my
information from the state shows
a decided leaning in that direction,
and there are astute politicians who
believe that the republicans stand
more" than an even chance of elect
ing their candidate for the senate,
O. E. Weller, over John Walter
Smth, the present democratic sen
ator from that state, and this result
is to be brought about by a big vote
in Baltimore for Weller.
Senator Smith is waging the fight
of his life to succeed himself and
it is said his henchmen are ready
to trade a Cox for a vote for Smith.
In any event the fight is a gruelling
one and looks as good for one as the
other.
Missouri for Harding.
Looking over the states listed as
doubtful, it should be observed 'as
a matter of fact Harding will carry
Missouri. His chances there are bet
ter than even. Kentucky, too, is a
most genuinely doubtful state and
