Utica, N. T., Oct. 38. James School
craft Sherman, Vice-President of the
United States, died at his home In this
city at 9:42 o'clock to-night.
The Vice-President, who lapsed Into
a state of coma yesterday afternoon,
never rallied and passed from uncon
sciousness to death.
Dr. F. II. Peck Issued this statement
concerning tho last moments of the
Vice-President:
"Tho Vice-President died at 9:42
o'clock to-night without regaining con
sciousness. Ills end was perfectly quiet,
lie died in tho presence of his wife, her
brother, and sister, his two brothers and
his three sons and their wives. Ho had
been perfectly unconscious slnco 7
o'clock this morning, when ho had a
period of partial consciousness for about
fifteen minutes. lie died In a uremic
coma as the result of Bright's disease,
heart disease and arteriosclerosis."
The Vice-President was able to say a
few words to his wife and Dr. Peck
during his lucid momenta this morning,
but never nooks thereafter. Mrs. Sher
man la In a state of near collapse as a
result of her husband's end and Dr.
Peck la ministering to her, while
her three sons, Sherrlll, Richard and
Thomas, are seeking to-night to com
fort' the grief stricken woman.
His last resting place will be In a
magnificent mausoleum recently erected
In Forest Hill Cemetery In this city.
Although not definitely announced,
It Is understood that the funeral will
be held on Saturday.
Oxrsea Uaed Toward the Last.
Since 2 o'clock this afternoon the phy
sicians had administered oxygen to the
dying statesman. Dr. Peck, although
nearly worn out by his constant vigil
at the bedsido of his patient during the
past several days and nights, never left
the Vice-President for a moment to
night.
He well knew there was not the slight
est hope and so Informed the members
of the family, but with all his medical
skill he continued his fight to sustain
the flickering life spark of the man who
since their boyhood days had been his
closest friend.
The day was filled with discouraging
news from the Sherman mansion,
Early this morning a statement came
from the bedside that he had been In a
state of coma since 3 o'clock yester
day afternoon, and that this condition
in Brlght's disease presaged dissolution
before many hours. This afternoon the
following bulletin was issued
"Vice-President Sherman Is gradually
falling. The end will probably come
to-ntght or to-morrow; it may be
twenty-four hours hence. Mr. Sherman
has been unconscious practically all of
the time since yesterday afternoon. He
went to sleep at about 3 o'clock yester
day afternoon and has been practically
In a comatose state ever since.1
At 8 o'clock to-night a statement was
Issued that the Vice-President had had
a partial evacuation of the kidneys, the
first In twenty-four hours, and that
while he rested more comfortably as a
result the ravages of his malady would
not be checked by this relief.
Long; a Sufferer from Illaeaae
For several years Mr. Sherman had
been afflicted with Iirlght's disease and
his diet had been restricted according
to the orders of a physician. Last
spring the disease beca.ne more serious
and learning that his heart had be
come Involved the Vice-President
abruptly left his duties In Washington,
came to his homo here and. placed his
affairs In' order. At times recently he
Buffered much, He was 67 years old
on the 21th of this month.
For a week a fatal termination of
tho disease had lieen anticipated ly
Mr. Sherman's physicians and his fam

Washington, Oct 30. The name of
John Wanamakcr Is said to bo under
consideration to be named for Vice
President by the Electoral College In
the event of Republican victory. Many
leading Uepubllcans believe Mr. Wonn
makcr. being an Eastern man, Is the
logical cholco for the place.
Col. Daniel M. Itansdell, sergeant at
arms of thn Senate, Is in communica
tion with Senators trying to secure the
attendance of as many as possible at
tho funeral.
Probablf the last letter written by
thn Vice-President was to Secretary
Henry L. Stlmson of tho War Depart

letter was brief and related to u matter
of departmental routine.
The name of Gov. Hndley Is nttrac

regulars In the Senate might he able
to unite on him In tho event of the
election being thrown Into tho House.
Philadelphia. Oct. 30. John Wana
makcr. former Postmaster-General, is
to be boomed as the successor of Mr.
Sherman by Republican leaders In
Pennsylvania.
This is not the first time Mr. Wnnn-
maker's namo has been advanced fur
the Vice-Presidency. At the Republican
national convention at Chicago In June
there was a well defined movement to
have him named as Taft's running mnte.

others were lined heavily and sentenced
to a day s Imprisonment.
Although tho prison term Imposed
by Judge Mayer was only theoretical
and designed to uphold tho dignity of

Democratic Wllaon Odd Dona,
Election betting yesterday turned to I
the makeup of the next Senate and!
House. One bet of $400 to $1,000 was
made that tho Senate will be Demo

that the Houso will be Democratic. At
Schumm's place $300 was placed at even
money that Roosevelt will get more
votes In Kings county than Taft. Ho
has $1,000 more to bet the same way.
A, bet of $500 even was made that Taft
gets more votes In New York State
than Roosevelt. A wager of $100 at
even money was mado that Straus
beats Hedges.
On the curb a II! tl less confidence In
Wilson against Rooevelt was noticed
when 4 to 1 on Wilson against Taft
was offered, though only 3 to 1 was
offered on Wilson against Roosevelt.
A Stock Exchange member has $1,000
to bet against $1,600 that Wilson will be
elected, with Roosevelt second and Taft
third.

law Is thrust out In Intervention.
He heard his sentence pronounced
yesterday morning and heard It with the
same air of aloofness or weariness that
he has worn during the whole course
of his trial.
Beneath the picture of tho Three
Fates on the wall of the crowded room
lu tho dingy Criminal Courts Building
this man, condemned by twelve of his
peers, stood In the sunlight and listened
whllo Justice John W. Goff spoke the
words mount to send him to his death.
Not for a moment did the steady eyes
of the prisoner at tho bar flicker. Not
for a moment did his big hands twitch.
He took his sentence standing stiff
backed as a soldier, and the eyes peer
ing Into his faco for some sign of emo
tion could catch nothing that Indicated
that the man whose name tho country
has had on its multitudinous Hps slnco
the dawn of July 16 was other than u
casual spectator of events that touched
him not.
And when they had led him away with
the glint of .the handcuffs shining from
his wrists they brought In a shambling,
terrorstrlcken wreck who plucked at
tho sleeve of his lawyer and sobbed
aloud In the court room and gazed with
apprehensive eyes over his heaving
shoulders while he- pleaded guilty to
murder in the second degroe. This was
Philip Davidson, the murderer of Big
Jack Zellg. It was a sleazy ant!-cllmax.
The hands of the clocks In the Crim
inal Courts Building pointed to only a
moment after 9 yesterday morning when
tho convicted lieutenant of poltco and
his guards camo across the Bridge of
SlKhs.
At his side was the little figure of
Sheriff Harburger. In the Sheriff's
pocket was a revolver the size of the
largest ever carried up the sleeve of a
Chinatown tong fighter. At the sight of
It Becker smiled. At Becker's elbow
was Kene Carroll, one of Harburger's
deputies.

Becker strode direct to the Sheriff's
room. In front of the court room where
Becker was to hear his fate a strange
crowd was shuffling against the police
lines. A sergeant from Elizabeth street '
was bellowing, "Only Jurors and those
with cards can bo admitted," but still
they pressed; men whose faces are fa
miliar enough In the dim places of
Chinatown and the back drifts of Sec

A long wire dangling from the rear
of a .trolley car caught tho ankles of
Kate McDonough, 19 years old, of 20!)
West Sixty-seventh street as she was
crossing Amsterdam avenue at Sixty
third street late, yesterday afternoon.
The car, going at full speed, dragged
her for two blocks and a half before thn
din set up by passersby finally attracted
tho attention of the motorman and con
ductor. Tho young woman was
bruised and cut, tho bruises having the
nature of burns, and particles of stono
and dust from the pavement Imbedded
themselves in her faco and arms and
hands. ,
It Is supposed that boys fastened tho
wlro to the car, perhaps with tho Idea
of being towed on skates.
Persons from the crowd carried Miss
McDonough to thn sidewalk and an
nmbulanco was called from tho Poly
clinic Hospital. Two women fainted
when they saw tho young woman's In
juries and learned of tho experience
she had been through.
Miss McDonough kept her courage)
until In tho hospltat the surgeons began
to take out the particles of dirt from her
face and arms. Then she fainted.

Havana, Oct 30. The forward turret
of the batleahlp Maine, with the guns In

Tho strangest thing about the dis

Scutari.
London, Oct. 31. Despatches received
from the Balkans early this morning
tell of tho capture of Lulo-Burgas, the
Important town commanding the Orient
Railway nt tho extreme left of the
Turkish position. The big battle ha
now been raging for two days,
Details of the capture are not given,
but It is added that the Bulgars by
this move havo occupied Muraldl, com
mandlng Rodosto. the seaport through
which n largo portion of the Turkish
Asiatic forces and their army supplies
have been coming. It is indicated that
the Bulgars nre driving tho Turks
slowly eastward along the Orient Rail
way.
It Is clear that owing to the movement
of the Bulgarians toward the Black Sea
the Turks In order to avoid being out
flanked moved eastward and are now
apparently spread east of Lule-Rurgas
toward Istrandze. They are believed
to have a numerical advantage of about
50,000. The central army Is reported to
consist of picked regulars (tho troops of
Nazlm Pasha), whllo the reservists or
redlfs chiefly constitute tho left wing,
Four Turkish nrmy corps from Syria
have been pushed forward, it is stated,
to support the right wing.
Of tho Bulgarian dispositions little
is known, although it Is reported that
the left wing rests near Midla, on the
seacoast.
Nazlm Pasha's despatches are very
vague. Ho encourages his countrymen
with statements of complete success in
the direction of Vlza and the dispersal
of the Bulgarian division at Hougss,
but his despatches seem to refer only
to oixratlons on Tuesday.
From the Bulgarian side there Is
nothing whatever except the Sofia state
ment that the Bulgarians defeated tho
Turks at Lule-Burgas and then moved
on Muraldl, whence they command the
rond from Rodosto on the Sea of Mar
mora, a source of Turkish supplies.
One version of this move claims that
the Bulgarians after two days fighting
gained a complete victory over the
principal Turkish forces, which re
treated in disorder. Tho date of this
fight Is uncertain.
The Itclchpost's account of the fight
agrees that the Tur!: set the. Trort f
It, but represents that they were not
the principal forces. The correspond
ent of this paper says both armies
have concentrated their main strength
In the eaBt, leaving the western wings
comparatively weak.
The Morning Past learns that 30,000
Ottoman troops have landad on the
Black Sea coast with the object of
threatening tho Bulgarian flank and
rear. There Is nothing later than
Lieut. Wegener's despatch In regard to
the bombardment of Adrianople.
The Turks say that their troops have
made a sortie from bottled up Adrianople,
They broke out from the suburbs to
the southwest of the city, It Is asserted,
and headed toward Maras.
The Ottomans say that ,4,000 Bulgar
ians were cut to pieces by the charge of
the Sultan's men and were driven back
to Komalkeul, six miles to the south
of the city.
The correspondents with tho Bulgars,
on the other hand, send excited word
that Adrianople still suffers from the
uViitlla rt tHnlf nrtltlorv Mirrttvn frnm a
j dalry farm on tno ,ofty summits over
looking the city. According to these
despatches fresh troops are arriving
dally to the reenforcemont of the Bul
garians, and Instead of being thrown
back they nre drawing closer the grim
lines around tho besieged city.
Between Veles, captured by the Ser
vians, and Salonlca the Turks have
massed some 35,000 men besides the
whipped remnants of the army that ran
before the Serbs at Koumnnovo.
In all the Servians claim the capture
of twenty-two towns in Macedonia.
There is not a Turkish force worth
tlm mention In the whole sanjak of
Novl Bazar, according to despatches
from Belgrade, nnd the Montenegrin
und Servian forces there can strike
hands.
Above Adrianople yesterday there
swung two lines high up In the sky. It
was a Russian biplane operating for the
Bulgarians, In an attempt to discover
Just what are tho conditions In the be
sieged city, Instantly Turkish artillery
was aimed upward. Of a sudden there
was a fluttered movement of the plane,
and It dropped to earth within Turkish
lines, throwing out tho aviator. This
was tho first army aviator killed during
actual war.
The Greek occupation of Verrla, an
Important town on their march to
Salonlca, has been confirmed, The
Turks have left Metr.ovo In flames bo
hind them, They burned that historic
village upon their evacuation.
Tho Montenegrins report that they
havo completely encircled Scutari. The
central column under Crown Prince
Danlelo has at last come In touch with
Gen. Martlnovltch's columns, and King
Nicholas la reported as saying that the
capture of the Turkish town would have

PREDICTS A VICTORY
Says Progressives Will Pro

SOCIAL JUSTICE HIS PLEA
Governor Johnson and Oscar
Straus Get Warm Kcccp
tion From Throng.
Col. Roosevelt Is back. He spoke Uat
night at Madison Squaro Garden to
15,000 people. They cheered him for
precisely 41 minutes nnd 30 seconds-
There was no Indication throughout
this storm of applause, thct it was any
thing but spontaneous. It was directed
at Col. Roosevelt himself.
Oscar S. Straus and Gov. Johnson of
California recefved a hearty wclcom
from the crowd, but It was Theodore
Kooscvelt who drew burst after burst of
cheering and shout after shout of greet
ing. No one forgot that the Colonel had
been In dangernnd was back among hla
own people again.
Throughout the long tumult CoU
Roosevelt stood at tho front of the plat
form looking out upon tho cheering au
dience. The strain showed Itself In his face,
which was not as full as when New
York saw him before he was wounded.
By the end of half an hour his face
was gleaming with perspiration and hla
Jaws were snapping nervously as though
he were bent upon keeping himself n
trim, for the speech. . w
Smllea at Reception.
Rut it was dear that he waseitr
Joying the thunderous reception. Time
and again his face broke Into smiles
and up would go his left arm In greet
ing to his friends. Ho made no effort
to use his right hand at all, but a
gesture from the left was enough to
set the crowd Into uproar after up
roar. Once in a while he would turn from
facing the audience while they were
singing or cheering in his honor and
would drop a quick comment to Sena
tor Dixon or Gov. Johnson, who were
standing near htm on the platform.
It did not take a knowledge of lip
reading to know that the Colonel was
saying that this was a fine meeting.
When at last the uproar was quelled
and the Colonel was able to begin his
speech his voice rang as clear nnd his
accents were as determined as ever.
His speech was a plea for social
Justice. He argued that the Issues
now beforo the country are as vital
and scarcely less critical than those
which the States faced In the '0s.
It was the Progressive party and no
other which offered to the people of the
United States relief from the tyranny
of the few.
Strana and Johaaan Speak.
Col. Roosevelt was the last of the
three speakers. Before him were Os
car Straus and Gov. Johnson. They
centred their remark upon Col. Roose
velt, his record and his Ideas. Every
reference which they made to him
brought thunders of applause. The au
dience was keyed to the uttermost
throughout the two hours wait for tho
coming of Col. Roosevelt. '
The sturdy figure of the Colonel
showed Itself on tho raised platform on
tho north side of Madison Square Gar
den at 9:20 o'clock. From 6 o'clock,
when the doors were thrown open, the
Garden was In an uproar.
A steady stream came In at the Mad- .
Ison avenue entrnnco and scattered
throughout the arena nnd the galleries.
Half of tho 12,000 seats had been paid
for and the rest of the tickets had
been given out with the greatest cir
cumspection by tho leaders.
By 7 o'clock more than half the seats
wero taken, and those In the crowd
who were only lucky enough to get
pasteboards which called for standing
room only had already filled the space
nllotted to them In tho topmost gal
leries. Between 15,000 and 16,000 persons
were unable to obtain admission to the
Garden and thronged about the build
ing hoping for a chance to see tho
Colonel If not to hear him. Police ar
rangements were admirable and the
great multitude was handled without a
hitch. All this was In splto of the fact
that nbout 8,000 persons had been fooled
by advertisements given to them as ad
mission tickets..
Tho Intense Interest of women In pol
itics was denoted by tho great number
In the Garden. Four out of ten Inside
were women and almost tho bame pro
portion held good in tho streets.
Ball Moose Was There.
Madison Square Garden was dressed
gorgeously. Across the celling from
Madison avenue clear to Fourth avenue
was one Immense American flag with
stars a man's height across.
On a platform at tho east end oppo
site tho entrance through which most
of tho audlcnco camo Into the Garden
