BALLOT REFORM.
An Amendment That Legislature Will
Be Asked to Make in Election Law.

The special committee OF the City Couu-
Gil in attendance at the June session OF the
Legislature Will seek to sec ure an amend
ment 30 the municipal election law
30 that the Board OF Aldermen will
act as returning board In
counting not only the ballots cast for
city officers, members of the City Council
and school committee, but also
count the votes cast for wardens and
clerks in the several districts. Under
the present law, the ward officers count
their own vote in majority of in
final, the Aldermen having no
jurisdiction In the veridcation of the
returns. AS an evidence OF their liability
TO error, Intentional or otherwise, the
case OF the clerkship in the Harrison
street precinct in Ward 8, last fall,
may be cited. There was q dis
crepancy of something like $50 votes
and that privately conducted by expert
enced and unprejudiced persons, yet the
ward clerk who was a candidate
for reelection holds the office.
Another more fragrant instance il
that OF Warden Thompson OF Ward
9who was detected tampering with the
ballots and Is under indictment by the
grand jury. He was elected by the count,
however. With the intention of remedy
ing these defects In the present system.
the bill is to be introduced. Under the
ballot reform law, the names of candidates
for ward officers are printed on the official
ballot instead OF upon separate slips as
under the old system. The ballots for
ward officers is returned to the Board OF
Aldermen with the other votes, and
they can be counted in the same manner.
The ten Aldermen verify each others
count, and consequently 1t stands to
reason that the results are likely to be
more accurate and reliable than that
of the ward officers who generally
postpone this count until the last thing
and naturally are apt TO fall into error as
the result of the strain and fatigue to
which they have been subjected during
the day and night at the polls. This
amendment is endorsed by the city clerk
and members of the Board, and il the bill
is passed at the present session it
will become operative at the
municipal election in the fall.
Aldermen West advocated the change in
the law some time ago, and his Republican
colleagues were favora BILE to its enactment
SO that 1t cannot be termed a partisan
measure.

SENATE'S BOSS
Doesn't Deign Give Commit
tee Anything but a Denial.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-H. o. Have
meyer, president OF the American Sugar
Refinery, whose name has probably been
mentioned more frequently than any
other man In the gossip over the
preparation of the sugar schedule of the
pending tariff bill, in response to the
summons Of Senator Gray's investi-
eating committee, appeared before
the committee today to give his
testimony. The doors were closed as
usual, Notwithstanding Senator Lodges
efforts to have them opened to the press
associations, and the proceedings were Of
, strictly private character.
At noon the examination OF Mr..
Havemeyer had not proceeded far
enough to give the committee much en-
lightenment, and the committee had
despaired OF getting any information from
him upon the points charged. Mr.. Have
meyer denied the published statements
upon which the investigation is
based, both as to the contributions
to the campaign funds and the demands
OF the trast that 1t should have protection
in the tariff bill for past favors. 1t
Is understood that the questions
put to Mr.. Havemeyer based upon
the charges were answered by his declar-
ing that the charges were false in all es-
sential particulars.
