INDICATED VOTE BEYOND THE

The to a' Republtoan vote at the last
state election waa 30S.79S, and some of
tot nolltlrnl worker predicted tht th
combined vo for La Fcdlette, Kooss-
VOlt and Taft In the Presidential pref
erence would approach and perhaps
read those fitrurea.
' In tl.le like N.wburyport, Woburn,
Haverhill and I. vim wher balloting be-

vote was cart during tha Art faw
hours.
In BrookMnc, said to b tha richest
town In the world, the vote waa unusu
ally heavy, lint confined ohlrlly to Re
publican bajlotlag.
. President Taft has tha aisurance of
his managers that he will get 24 of the
; 'Massachusetts delegate. The Roose
velt men claim at leaat U of the district
delegates and the eight delegatos at
large. Col Roosevelt does not appear
to share In the belief that th battle In
Massachusetts to-day will decide the
war for the Republican nomination. He
declared In one of hla apeeche yester

fight without Massachusetts
The President wag met with enthu

workman was killed yesterday after-
In tha waitor supply shaft by a

termined to personally visit one scene
of th fatality.
Paaonaia tha shaft, hs started no

tunnel cat bhrouesh solid rook. The way
was onaumttered with boulders and tools
and the shaft was dark. Coroner
Schwann eoete (flipped and fell, lendln-t
heavily on hla side. His head struck
a stone In the side of tha tunnel end
was out.
DIDN'T KNOW HE HAD INTER
NAL INJURIES.
Although the fall was severe the Cor
oner did not believe he was badly hurt.
On reaching: the surface he complained
of pain In hla ihead and did not appear
to be suffering from Interns! Injuries.
On reaoMng his home at No. 11K7 Boa
ton road Coroner Bchwannacke, who la
a chemist and has aome knowledge of
medlotne, fixed up something or himself
and retired. He elegit until midnight
when he anvakened suffering pain In

Deeplte the beet effort of tha doctors
th hemorrhages persisted and th pa
tient grew steadily weaker.
Coroner Sohwannecke wss fifty years
old. He was born In Germany and waa
graduated from Heidelberg I'nlverelty.
Hoon after coming to New York he set
tled In the Bronx. He was serving his
second term as Coroner.
KNOWN AS "THE COUNT"
THROUGHOUT BRONX.
Throughout the borough Coroner
Schwenneoke was known ' "The
Count." He was a good "mixer" and
ha been a prominent figure In social af
fair. In hi younger days lie was con
slerable of an athlete and lie was a
member of the Now York Athletic Club.
Coroner Hcthwanneckn achieved con
sldsrable fame for hla painstaking in
vestigations In criminal casss. It was
his persistant work that brought about
ths discovery that tha automobile of
Edward Roasnhetmer of Mount Vernon
ran down and killed a gin on a dark
road in the Bronx a couple of years
MO.
The wreak of the Ilrewster local at
Wood lawn on February M. 1307. In
which twenty-four persons were killed,
aroused Coroner Schwannecke to vigor
ous action. In an effort to determine
the responslilllty for the wreck he sub
poenaed all the oprratltiK official of
the New York Central Railroad tn this
district. The Inquest showed that the
train took a curve sf excessive speed.
The sccldent cost the New York Cen
tral an Immense sum la damages col-
lected by the heirs of the victims or
by person who suffered Injury. Moon
after the Inquest Coroner Schwan
necke lost s KS.OOO position he held with

he always claimed that powerful
lnfturnces in the New York Central op
crated to forre him out of that berth.
