1000 VOTES NIIsCOUNrED.

The Completion of the Recount at
Chicago Makes a Startling Showing.
CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-The recount of the
ballots just completed by the county spe-
cial grand jury, shows definitely that the
proposition to appropriate 100000 for an
additional police force, declared by the
canvassing board to have been carried.
was in reality lost by several hundred
votes, and that through fraud, aided by
stupidity and carelessness, 500, 600 of the
citY's funds have been misapprOpriated.
Not a single precinct of the III in the
city was found from which a perfectly
correct return of the vote on the police
appropriations was made, and the propO-
sltiOn actually received over $4,000 less
votes than were credited to it by the can
vassing board.
Tde Duty Nel0S is authority for the
statement that indictments will be voted
against about 75 per cent. of the 5l3
judges who served at the election, and
that they will not be indicted Jointly but
severally. The clerks of election are not
to be indicted. The expectation IS, it is
stated, that the indicted judges Will be
fined from $40 to 500 each, and that a ma
Jorlty OF them will 90 into court, plead
guilty and pay their fines.
255 TO BE INDICTED.
CHICAGO, Jan. %, "a. Mt was learned
late last night that the county special
grand jury has voted to indict 255 judges
of election for fraud through which the
100000 appropriation for additional police
torce was made to appear carried by a
majority of 14,000, when in reality the
proposition was defeated by several hun
dred votes. The number of judges to be
indicted includes about three-fourths of
all who served
