DEMOCRATIC ELECTION CRIME.
Republican Candidates Counted Out
IhA Er.ud Keru RIaI.

KANSAS CITY. Nov l5-Absolute and
glaring fraud, perpetrated on the talley
sheets used In the recent election was to-
day unearthed in the Office Of the recorder
of voters. The fraud was discovered by
w. L. Jameson. the Republican cand date
Tor prosecuting attorney, who was elected
on the face OF the returns, but Was counted
out. The discovery was made In the pres
ence OF the recorder of voters. Owsley, and
admitted by that official. The find veri-
ties the allegations made by Jameson and
Sloan, Republicans. that the Offices of
prosecuting attorney aud county marshal
20 which they were elected, were delib-
era'ely stolen from them and given to
bremmerman and keshiear, Democrats.
Great CONSERVATION was caused among
politicians by today's discovery, and start
ling Developments may be expected within
the next week.
Jameson, accompanied by his attorney,
c. +. Small, called on 0wsiey this after
noon and made formal demand for him TO
show them the tally sheets of the various
precincts, the returns certified to by the
judges and the sheets on which they were
copied, and which were used by justices
shannon aud Hawthorne in making the
official count ossiey positively refused
TO show the tally sheets, but showed the
others. Holding the sheet on which the
figures were written between himself and
The light. Small could distinctly see where
erasures had been made with an ink
eraser and new figures written in ink.
These changes, he says, were in
those precincts In the Sixth and
Eighth wards the returns from
which he Star has already shown
TO have been changed. BY looking st the
judges returns in the same way both men
were sure that tuey could see evidence
that the figures III the tens column in
Jamieson's and Bremmerman's vote
had been altered. They state that
the fabric of the paper has been
injured. and that there can be no
doubt but the changes were msde without
even the use of chemicals. Recorder 0ws-
ley himself agreed with them that erasures
and changes must have been made. Later
in the day papers were flied by Jameson
and Sloan in the court. asking for per-
emptory writ OF mandamus 10 compel Re-
corder 0ssley TO show the tally sheets.
The writ had not been granted up to late
hour this evening.
Bremmsrman and keshlear, the Demo
erats who were given the election in place
of Jameson and Sloan. have offered to
submit To a recount. This proposition.
however, has been refused by the defeated
men, who assert that il Is a scheme to trap
them. They urge that If the returns could
have been altered. the ballots could have
been. and probably were fixed to corre-
spond.

Exclusion of American Born Chinese.
SAN Francisco Nov. l5.-United States
District Judge Morrow rendered an im-
por,ant decision today, defining the power
of collectors of customs as judges of the
rights of Chinese seeking admission to
this country. The local collector Of Gus
toms insisted that the Law gave him
exclusive authority to pass Judgment in
the cases of all Chinese seeking admission.
In the case of Tom Yum. passenger on
the steamer Gaelic, who claimed to be
naEive-born citizen of California, and
as such claimed the right TO land, Col
lector Wise held an Investigation and
decided that the Chinaman's claims TO
citizenship were fraudulent He there
fore refused TO allow Tom Yum TO land.
Habeas corpus vas resorted to bv the
Chinese. Judge Morrow holds that the
jurisdiction of collectors OF customs Is
limited to the cases OF aliens. and that in
cases of American citizens or persons
claiming citizenship the collector is with
out authority to finally or eoncusively
pass upon their right TO come into this
country. The case of Tom Yum was ac-
cordingly referred TO United States COM
missioner to take evidence and pass upon
the Chinaman's claim to citizenship.

Of the fact that the deposits had been fall

due in part TO the fact tha,

these claims are being exhausted. The

effect % the system of withholding por-
tion of the soldiers pay until he is dis

which makes . soldier dependent detracts
from his manhood ana efficiency.
Many men enlist on being told that

that through reductions on account of
