STEPHENSON IS ELECTED M’GOVERN SURPRISES ALL BY PIL ING UP BIG MAJORITY IN MIL WAUKEE COUNTY. COOK IN SfcCOND PLACE, New London Man Fails to Develop Strength Generally Accredited to Him. LIGHT VOTE AT THE PRIMARIES. MILWAUKEE. Wis., Sept. 2, 1908. —According to latest returns received by I lie Evening Wisconsin this afternoon Samuel A. Cook made remarkable gains for the senatorship. The latest results show the following vote on the four candidates: Stephenson 34,827 look 32,573 McGovern 31,030 Hatton 25,455 The vote in the same counties for I nitei! States senator on the Democratic ticket was: Hoyt, 5588; Brown, 82,337. The following counties have sent in no returns, but ii is not believed the ballot will materially affect the result: t’hippewa, Crawford, Dodge. Eau Claire. Florence, Green Lake, lowa, Iron. Kewaunee, Manitowoc, Pepin, Richland, Vernon, Vilas and Waushara. While the returns from many cities, towns and counties of the state are still incomplete, the general trend of yester day s vote makes it most probable that Isaac Stephenson of Marinette has been nominated as United States senator by a plurality of between 5000 and 0000 voles. S. A. Cook of Neenah is second and later returns from the Fox River valley and central Wisconsin, where Cook is known to have brought out a very heavy vote, may cut down Stephen son’s lead. Francis E. McGovern of Milwaukee is a close third in the race and should his majority in Milwaukee city and county continue to increase, he having received as many votes here as (he other three candidates put together, there is a proba bility that he may run ahead of Cook, although those who are watching I lie re turns now slowly coming in from belated districts say that Cook’s vote in the ru ral districts will more than offset any gain McGovern figures will show in Milwaukee today. Hatton Is Fourth. William H. Hatton rims fourth in the senatorial contest, the New London man not developing the up-state strength that was expected of him. In Milwaukee liis vote was small, and while there are many counties, supposedly Hatton strongholds, yet to hear from, it is not believed that Uie results there will have material effect. The surprise of the primary election was I he great strength shown by McGov ern, not alone in Milwaukee, where his plurality is over (5000, but also through out the stale, where in some comities lie ran ahead of Stephenson and Cook. When the returns from the city pre cincts began coming in last night and McGovern began to jump ahead, ward by ward, and when the city vote was supplemented by returns from counties in southwestern Wisconsin, which the district attorney had stumped thoroughly and which, us far as could he determined, gave him a small majority, predictions were made that the Milwaukee man was going to “run like a scared hen,” and would easily heat out Cook and Stephen son. Stephenson Rolls Up Votes. At 10 o'clock, however, when the re turns began coming in from the north, the viewpoint changed rapidly. Stephen son comities up along the northern bor der began to roll in big majorities for "Uncle Ike” and at the same time re ports came in from Rock and Walworth counties, which showed that the Mari nette man was running far ahead of the other candidates. Cook’s stock took a boom at the same time, as the returns from Winnebago and Outagamios con ties came iu. With many precincts missing, the Neenah man came down to Milwau kee with a clear majority of nearly 2000 votes and Fond du Lac county helped to swell these figures later. Grant county, which sent in fairly complete returns before midnight showed McGovern gains early, hut with the city of Platteville coming iu with votes to spare for Stephenson, the Marinette man went on up the river with a majority in nearly every county. Stephen on showed unexpected strength in western Wiscon sin and when the returns are in from counties in the Eleventh district, they may give the senator a couple of thou sand more votes. McGovern Strong in South. It was expected that Stephenson would come out of Racine and Kenosha coun ties with a big majority, hut here again McGovern proved stronger than ex pected, and Racine county will probably give him 200 majority while Kenosha county will go for Stephenson by 300 votes. While Stephenson polled a heavy vote in the majority of the northern counties, McGovern carried Ashland county, it is now believed, and ran well in Price and Taylor counties. Cook and Stephenson ran neck and neck in central Wisconsin counties where it was expected that Hat ton would have a big majority. The vote in the rural districts was very light and up to noon today it has been impossible for election officials at the different county seats to collect com plete precinct returns and complete their own reports. Continued fair weather and plenty of work on the farm Is given by ihe managers of the various candidates in explaining why the registration and vote was not larger. “The farmer was too busy to vote,” was the way they termed it this morning when questioned ns to the effect the past month of spell binding has had in the country districts.

The other candidates who figured iu contests were easily the victors. Kissinger de feated Hart by nearly 12,000 to 0500: Backus defeated Gross 14,000 to 5750, and Maas with a total of 10,847 in the city alone has a majority of all the voles cast for register of deeds.

Murder of Omaha Physician Is Unex plained, but Developments May Be Sensational. OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 3.—Develop ments in the Dr. Rustin murder case were not made public by the police to day, but there is an undercurrent feeling that something of a startling nature will develop within a day or two. It is now known that Rustin reached his home about midnight Tuesday night and that the shooting occurred at 3 o’clock Wednesday morning. What occurred at the Rustin home during the three hours interval between his reaching there and the shooting has not developed and no person is permitted to interview Mrs. Rustin. It was learned this afternoon that Chief Donahue secured a written state ment from Miss Looua Bonnell in which she admitted accompanying Dr. Rustin to a point near his home Tuesday night. The statement also says that by ap pointment she waited an hour for him to return, and that she three times called Ids home by telephone to inquire about him. Each time she was told the doctor had not yet reached home. The evidence in the hands of the po lice. however, indicate that he was at his home at the time and it is said there was domestic troubles following his ar rival there. The police did not believe the Bonnell woman did the shooting. TONY'S HEART LARGE, Pastor, of Vaudeville Fame, Leaves SIO,OOO to Actors’ Fund—Abe Hummell, Trustee.

STEAMER HITS ROWBOAT; THREE DIE AT DELRVAN MRS. EMIL ANDERSON AND TWO CHILDREN OF CHICAGO DROWN IN MIDLAKE. THREE IN SMALL BOAT ESCAPE. Accident Occurs in Darkness and Crash, Followed by Heartrending Shrieks, Is Heard on Shore. HUSBAND NEARLY PROSTRATED. DELAVAN LAKE, Wis., Aug. 31. [Special.]—Mrs. Emil Anderson and her two children, a girl 5 years old and a girl 3 years old, of Chicago, wore drowned in Delavan lake last night when their rowboat was struck by the passenger steamer Delavan. Three other occupants of the small craft, Alfred Anderson, his adopted son. and their maid, were rescued. The acci dent occurred after dark, which made it impossible for those in the steamer to rescue the others. The crash caused by the collision be tween the steamer and the rowboat was heard from nearby points on the shore, and cottagers and guests at the Hotel Manhattan heard the heartrending cries of the unfortunate victims as they were knocked out into the water and drowned with apparent help on all sides. Water Forty Feet Deep. The accident occurred in 40 feet of water, and the body of Mrs. Anderson was not recovered until 10 o’clock this morning. Men in boats, equipped with grappling hooks, searched for hours afterwards before finding the bodies of the children. Mr. Anderson had spent Sunday with his family, and had left for Chicago at 7 o’clock when a telegram informing him of the tragic death of his wife and children overtook him. He is almost prostrated by the shocking details of the drowning of Mrs. Anderson and their only children. It was only yesterday that the yacht owners of Delavan lake met and dis cussed a plan to organize and adopt some rules to equip their boats with lights and signals. There are over sixty yachts on the lake and up to this time it has not been necessary for any of them to display lights. The steamer Delavan. however, had both lights showing, but U is claimed that it was running at a fast rate of speed and overtook the rowboat before the occupants had time to get out of the way. Second Accident for Boat. The Steamer Delavan is the same boat which capsized on Lake Geneva a few years ago. the accident resulting in the drowning of three passengers. Sunday’s accident occurred in the middle of the lake, just southeast of the Delavan Lake assembly. The Anderson home is at 823 West Sixty-first place, Chicago. Mr. Anderson is a contractor and is prominently con nected with Chicago’s business world. He owns a cottage at Delavan. DROWNS WHILE BATHING. Body of an Unidentified Man Is Found at Sturgeon Bay.
