Prohibirionists Have Compiled with It
Queries to the Commissioners
The State Board of Election Commission
srs met yesterday morning for the last
lime. all its duties. except in case of emer-
nc having been performed. When the
meeting began il was found that the Prohi-
b~itionists had succeeded in securing a pro-
per cerSification of their State ticket. The
proofs submitted by the State printer were
therefore inspected. and when found cor
rect were SO certified TO the printer. The
forms will be stereotyped, and each sheet
will bear four simultaneous Impressions,
thus being printed four at q time. The
printing began at midnight.
The quality of paper used this year is
ten ponds heavier in quality and does not
readily blot so as to deface ballots. A
olotter IN each booth, however. Will be es-
bentiaL The law makes no provision for
bIotters and non will DO furnished by the
State. Mr.. Burford stated yesterday that
his contract to furnish the election equip
ment does not include blotters.
Secretary Stein is in daily receipt of in
Quiries concerning the law. One county
chairman asked what could be done when
TO admit the voter and the two clerks
who are required TO be present
when instructions are asked for. Mr.. Stein
replied that While one of the clerks is help
ing the voter the other must look over his
shoulder 10 see if the voters wishes are
carried out. 1t would conform 10 the spirit
Of the law. he said. tor the clerks and the
voter to repai to a table where they could
assist tho voter without interference or
knowledge on the part OF others. This,
however, is not the letter of the law.
A letter was received yesterday from the
auditor of ST. Joseph county stating that
In his report of the number of pre-
cincts he had omitted one. This
makes the total number of precincts
2.940. The error upon the part Of
the auditor was an annoying one. and
necessitares changes in the tables and re-
ports. Mr.. Stein remarked yesterday that
Ii the error had not been discovered q vast
amount of trouble would have resulted.
When the equipment for the unreported
precinct had been called for there would
have been none to be delivered, and the
people would have lost their votes. The
discrepancy between the increase In the
number of voters and in the number of
new precincts indicates that other precincts
may q been overlooked.

HELLO, Chicago HELLO, NEW YORK.
Telephone Line Nearly One Thousand Miles
Long in Successful Operation.

New YORK. Oct. 1s.-An exchange of tele-
phonic messages took place this morning
between a telephone operator in the Amer.
lean Exchange and another operator in the
offic &C of the same company situated in Chi
cago. The exchange Of messages was over
the longest telephone line ever success-
iully used. The messages consisted of the
words:
Hello, Chicago"
well, what IS IL, New York;"
Are you oil ,Ayhtp
Il can hear you Just as plainly as if you
were standing within three feet OF me-"
1t was easier to get the Windy City over
the telephone than to make q connection
with Brooklyn. The Chicago wire Is O
double metallic circuit and weighs about
$500 pounds. The line is within q furlorg
of $50 miles In length.
Several ladies. officers of the company,
and a score of newspaper men. about one
hundred persons in all. assembled In the
c~oInrany's rooms this afternoon. A similar
gathering was in the Chicago office. Presi-
dent Hudson explained to the assembly in
the New York office that this new connec-
tion between New York and Chicago was
the longest telephone line In tho world.
The loDg-dIstance telephone between Paris
and Marsellles was, be said, only five hun
dred miles in length. and that between Lon
don and Paris less than $50 miles. whereas
the New ork-CbicaRO line was nearly one
thousand miles. With these preliminary
remarks. tho second test began.
The soft strains of cornet
tioated through the room. carrying
the familiar strains of the Star. spangled
Banner" Hardly had the last note died
away when IL was announced that the
music would be repea ted from Chicago.
Auxiliary receivers were placed to nu mer-
Gus ears. and clear and distinct came the
familiar air. A hush was asked for, and
the auxiliary receivers disconnected. Then
the wonderful carrying power was fully
demonstrated A small. thin. thread-llke
note came from the cabinet receiver. but iJ
was the same familiar tune. and was dis
t;netly heard by ell in the room. Amer
lea" was scnt and received in the same way,
and then Mayor Grant came to the cabinet.
His honor sat down, clapped the receiver
To his ear. his month close to the trans
mitter. and said in u low. distinct voice:
Hello, Chicago. is that you Mayor Wash
burner
THE city of Chicago greets the city of
New York." said Mayor Washburne in Chi
cngo.
''rhe city of New York returns the com
pliment and wishes you all success in the
Rreat celebration you are TO have there this

COLLEGE AVENUE DISPUTE
Question of Who Shall Pay for the Paw
ing at Sixteenth Street in Court.
Row in The Italian Colony Over Who Shall
Garry the Flag-MiscellaneOus Net
tiers in Court.


A suit which bids fair to produce some
legal entanglements was begun in Room /.
Superior Court. yesterday morning. The
snit involves the payment of the assess
ment for the Improvement of College ave-
nue., and is a dispute between James A.
Bruce and the city of Indianapolis as to
which is liable for the payment of the
amount due for the Improvement of COL
lege avenue at the intersection of Sixteenth
street. Bruce was the owner of q tract
of Ian at this place. which
he plated several years ago. but
has never placed the plat on file and there
is no record of 1t. and for this reason the
city contends that the property still be-
longs to him and that he is liable for the
Improvement. A portion of the street Is
now occupied by the Citizens Street rail-
way Company, and in the event of 1t being
held that the property belongs TO Bruce
and not the city, an ejectment of the rail
way company would In all probability
follow.

One argument which Democratic speak
ers are using with farmers In secluded
townships is that but for the protective
system, which fosters factories and in
creases the demand for the labor of the
country. they would be able to hire farm
hands at 30 cents n day. A farmer living
in Franklin county recently declared for
Cleveland. giving as his reason that he
wanted TO close the shops so that he could
get laborers on his farm at a half a dollar u
name. The Journal Is informed that 1t is
Eli Hedrick. whose postofice address Is
Whltcomb.
