ELECTION COMMISSIONERS.
Important Matters to 30 Discussed at tn
Meeting This Morning.

Important Matters to 30 Discussed at the
Meeting This Morning.
The eyes Of the politicians of all parties
are turned upon the meeting Of the Election
Commissioners, which takes place this
morning at the new City Hall. Several inn
pOrtant questions will be decided-ques-
tons upon the settlement of which many
politicians are most anxious. The disposal
Of these questions will involve an interpre-
tati0n Of the new Australian ballot law and
a construction Of the relative powers of the
Election Commissioners and the Registrar.
1t is known that the two authorities dis
agree as TO their respective powers In
consequence, the conflict of assumed rights
is liable 10 make the meeting interesting.
From a conversation with many politi-
clans who have been aware of the situation
for some time, ii was learned that the posi-
tions Of the Election Commission and the
Registrar are as follows: The Registrar
holds that be alone has tie power under
the legislative act TO place names on the
tickets and also the heads OF tickets. The
Election Commission claims this privilege
as its own.
To-day DR.. 0'Donnell and others will APP
pear before the committee TO have their
names placed on ticket with head. The
law requires vote of per cent Of the total
vote cast al the election preceding before
TINS can De done. Inc question VIII arise,
if a part of ticket obtains per cent of the
vote cast. can it be claimed that the whole
ticket obtained such vote. In O'DOn-
| nelPs case only part OF the candidates OBJ
tanned such vote.
Some politicians argue THAT the Registrar
| should not exercise so much power, as IL is
| dangerous. Take for instance the case of
the Republican party. Suppose the Grim
Minis Kelly faction place a ticket in the field
and the Burns-WilsOn combination place
| another. The question Will then arise
which is the Republican party? The Regis
! trar might be inclined to think that the Al
| lance men constituted the Regular Republic
cans and give them the Regular Republican
| head. Where then would the other SIDE
come in? There could not be two Regular
/ Republican parties.
| The Registrar, however, seems TO have
| considerably authority to back him up in
| his position. A strict reading of the act
seems to give him the power mentioned.
| The Commissioners claim that the act
| should be interpreted in conjunction with
! other election laws, which place all such
matters Ia the hands of the Election Com
] missioners and Registrar"
| at to-day's meeting the bids for the con-
| struction of the new booths to be used at
| the different precincts under the Australian
! ballot law will be considered. The booths
will be SO constructed as to be portable and
will be so well made as 10 be used on other
occasions. They will cost between SIC, 600
| and $4,000.

II WAS A FINE DAY.

How sallie Donnery Made a Mash In
the Park and Got Caught.
The case of Theodore Fulton. charged
with abduction, was on before Judge Muir
ply and a jury Yesterday. 1t was very
peculiar case of abduction, the girl in Ques-
ton admitting that she had met Fulton in
the park and upon his telling her it was "a
fine day." she fell A ready victim TO his
wiles. The only thing brought out against
Fulton was that he was a married man.
The mother Of the girl Testified that her
daughter was only II years of age and
although she went out 10 meet Fulton and
others, she did not know where she was
going Sallie DOnnely, the girl took the
stand and told her story of meeting with
Fulton. She was easily attracted and made
several engagements with her park mash"
and through him with Others. She said that
he had told her TO get money from those he
introduced her to and she followed his ad-
vice, bnt did not give him any of the money.
The jury retired at $3.50, with a charge from
Judge Murphy favorable to Fulton.
Juries are peculiar things, however, and
after this jury was out a comparatively
short time verdict Of guilty was brought
in. The extreme penalty is II years i'm
prisonment and the lightest sentence Is two
wears.

A Mysterious Machine.

Wlimo had never seen a wheelbarrow be-
fore, and was much exercised as to how to
set it in motion. He began by facing the
wheel, catching hold Of it with both hands
and trying to pull backward Seeing the
wheel would not turn, he let go and took
fresh observations. 1t dawned upon him at
once, for the native mind is quick, That as
the barrow had two arms ii required two
men to lift it, and he hallOoed for one OF his
mates to come TO his aid
They both tried to get within the arms Of
the barrow, one man laying hold of the left
arm with the left hand, while the right en-
crcled his fellows waist, whose right hand
had hold of the other shaft, while his olsen
gagged arm was bound around Wlimo's neck.
and they were prettily yoked; but thew
covered no ground, and by-and-by tripped
each other and fell pell-mell over the wheel
barrow, which Of course turned over Then
after an hour or two Wlimo understood how
to wheel this barrow.

Change In His Office.
A rnmor has been in circulation for sew
eral days that Registrar Brown intended to
make change in the position of his chief
deputy, a place now occupied by George
Lewis. The rumor further was that Brown
intended to appoint Max Warschauer to the
place. Warsehauer was formerly connected
with the Registrar. but is now deputy in
the Recorders Office. 1t was thought strange
that Brown would make any such appoint
ment and select man for such prominent
place who was not well-known advocate
and member of the Burns Wilson eombina-
ton. Warschauer is said to hold an indepen-
dent position-something after the style of
Supervisor Ebert. who is his friend and sup
porter. Warschauer is. however. supposed
