MISSING BALLOTS.
They May Have an Important Bear
ing Upon an Election Contest.

sylvauia Ga, Jan. 2-some one broke
into the office Of the clerk Of the superior
court here Tuesday night and opened the
box containing the ballots east In the re-
cent county election. When Mr.. -. -. G.
Nunnaly, the clerk, entered his office We'd
nesday morning he found that one Of the
doors TO the room had been forced open
during the night and that the bottom Of
the ballot box had been removed and then
partially nailed elk. Mr. Nunnally did
not disturb the box any further until il
was carried into court to be used IN the
contest trial which began here yesterday
afternoon Upon searching for certain
contested votes 1t was then discovered
that the ballots for the 1A4ith district had
been removed. all the others We're there.
il is hard 10 tell yet what effect this will
have on the contest. The filth Is the
Millen district, and in this district the
democrats received their largest majority
in the recent election. If this whole dis
trict should be thrown out. by reason of
the ballots being stolen, then the populists
would have a majority in the county.
This. however will hardly happen. The
only trouble that the democrats apprehend
from the loss Of the ballots IS that some
who voted the democratic ticket may now
be induced to come up and swear that
they voted the other way; for, the bal
lots being gone, the fact as to which way
they voted viii have to be established by
the testimony of the voter himself. Not
many votes viii be lost this way how
ever. F. II. Saffold of Swainsboro and w.
L. Mathews of Sylvania are conducting
the case for the contestants. Messrs. Dell
&, Wade and oliver & Overstreet are look
ing after the interests of the democratic
candidates. This morning the contestants
counsel moved to adjourn until next
Tuesday morning and the court took a re-
cess until that time. This will give them
only four days in which to complete their

NOT VIRGINIA SOIL.
Alexander Island Claimed for the
District of Columbia.


Washington. Jan. 2L-One outcome of
the contest over winter racing in the
vicinity of the national capital has been
an assertion by the government of the
District of Columbia of control over the
Alexander Island course on the Virginia
side Of the long bridge. where the races
are held.
If, as claimed old maps and document
airy evidence show that prior to 1901 there
was channel between Alexander Is
land and the state of Virginia, in which
the tide ebbed and flowed. it is, there
fore, contended that the Alexander Island
must have been one Of the islands Of the
Patomac prior to the retrocession Of ter
ritory made to the state of Virginia in
1916, and being one Of those islands. re-
mains part OF the District of Columbia
and is therefore, under the control of the
police regulations of Washington city
The district commissioners have formally
requested the attorney general to bring
suit TO test the matter.

Four Indictments Against n New
York Firm.

New York Jan. 24-Among the big batch
of indictments which were handed to Re
corder Golf yesterday were four against
the members of the firm of Beecher,
schenck & Co., who acted as the general
managers in a corporate capacity of the
defunct American Casualty Insurance and
Security Company of Baltimore.
The indicted ones are Col. Henry B.
Beecher, William Z. Midgely. John K.
Taylor and Vincent R. Schenck OF these
Midgely is now in custody, having been in
dcted last Monday for juggling with
check for 81, 900 in connection with the de-
funct company and also the Steam Boiler
Insurance Company, which is in the last
throes of bankruptcy.
The wrecking of the casualty company
is laid at the door of Beecher, Schenck &
Co. and the indictments were issued on
complaint of the Long Island Railroad
Company, one of the creditors of the de-
funct concern, and the specific charge
upon which the indictments were drawn
is that the firm issued a doctored state.
