MOSLEMS MASSACREED

By Christians-The Presence OF War
ships Prevent Further Disturbance.
Special Wire to Sunday Light.
Canea, Feb. 20.-A small force of
British, Italian and French marines are
occupying the town of Silia, on the
eastern extremity of the island where
a few days ago by two thousand Mos
lens were massacreed by the Christ
tians. Quiet has been restored in the
town and the presence of foreign ma
rines is regarded as assurance that no
further disorder need be feared. Hos
tages have been and are still being ex-
changed by the Christians and Mos
lens, and both sides show readiness
to accept European arbitration. In
the town of RetimO, however, disorder
still prevails, and the Moslems con-
tinue to pillage the houses of the Chris
tians. The various consuls at Retimo
have asked that more warships be sent
there to restore and preserve order.
The insurgents, who are occupying
the hills back of Canea, sent a warning
yesterday of their intention to attack
the town of Akrotiri.
To this notice Admiral Canevaro,
commanding the combined fleets, sent
a reply giving the insurgent leaders
to understand that foreign warships
would intervene at the first sign of an
attack on the part of the insurgents.

AN ELECTION CONTEST.
HI yoGLER BEGINS PROCEEDINGS
AGAINST LUDWIG MAHNOKE.
Mr.. Fogler Claims That Illegal Votes That
Should Have Been Thrown Out, Have
Been Counted for Mr.. hahncke.

AS a result of the recent city election
the office of Alderman of the Fifth
ward was brought into litigation yes
terday. 1t will be remembered that
there were four candidates for alder
man for this ward as follows: II. J.
Vogler, Ludwig Mahncke, L. d. Mar
tin and DR.. Fred. Terrell. The race,
however, was between Mahncke and
VOgler, and the form er was declared
elected by fOuC votes.
Last evening quo yarranto proceed
'ings in the name Of the State of Texas
We're filed in the Forty-fifth District
court wherein Mr VOgler seeks to
have Mr.. Mahncke ,ousted from office.
He wants the votes recounted and the
loser to pay the costs of the court. Tn
the event mat the case is decided IN
his favor, which would result in his
election, ne wants what moneys have
been paid Mr.. Mahncke as alderman of
the Fifth ward. He says the Office is
worth S5OJ.
Mr.. VOgler as relator, sets forth in
his petition that according 10 the re
turns made for The Fifth ward he re-
ceived 81 votes. Mahncke 3S1, Martin
officers Of polling precinct No. II GER
titled That he received 1872 votes, Mahn-
cke 252, Martin 20 and Terrell 13S, which
figures, he says, are incorrect ar1 IL
legal, and do not truthfully show the
legal votes cast for each of SAID can
didates. ReiatOr further says that
at precinct No. II there were forty
votes counted Tor Mr.. Mahncke, which
We're illegal, in that on each ballet the
name the Office of alderman, as we'll as
the names Of all of the officers were
totally Obliterated and erased, so that
upon che ballots there was nothing to
show or indicate the Office Tor which
the names on the ballots so Cast'E1ould
be counted.
YET, Notwithstanding this fact, the
relatOr continues, the officers counted
all OF these ballots as having been cast
for Mahncke, simply because his name
was not earsed from the ballots, when
in truth and in fact the ballots should
not have been counted at all, but
should have been rejected and thrown
out
Refator charges that the ballots so
counted for Mahncke were Illegal, ana
if the ballots so counted for Mdhncke
are deducted from his vote, the re-
turns of said polling precinct will show
that relator received in said ward for
alderman, 37T votes, Mahncke 81, Mar
tin 64 and Terrell 215, thus giving rela-
tor the election as alderman OF said
ward.
The relator also charges that there
were gross errors committed in max
ING mn the taffY sheet, in that at said
polling precinct there were more bal
lots cast for relator than were counted
for him, that the officers in count
ing the ballots, enormously counted
ten ballots that were cast for relator
as though the same had been counted
for Mamcke.

CURTAILMENT
VIII be the Policy Of the New City
Administration.

Administration.
When Mayor Callaghan becomes
firmly seated in the municipal saddle
on the taxpayers broncho. it is said
there will be some curtailment Of ex-
penSes in many directions.
One Position to be Topped off very
surely will be that OF police recorders
clerk. the duties TO be filled out by the
police clerk or the recorder himself.
1t is also said that Mr.. Theodore
Vincke. who is the most likely candi-
date for city clerk, will manage TO get
along very comfortably and have lots
of time TO spare. without an assistant
city clerk and n record clerk, retain
ing for his assistant only the mayors
typewritist. who will also serve as
record clerk.
In the police department there will
be some pruning done. 1t is known
that Mayor Callaghan does not think
there is occasion for sixteen mounted
policemen. who draw a larger salary
than the foot patrOlmen, and several
of these will be dropped. The foot
men may also feel the effects of the
knife.
1t is said the mayor has fine man
picked out for street commissioner,
but as to whom he is it is next to an
impOssibility to discover. His de-
partment is also to be rejuvenated.
1t is now pretty certain that eX-
Assistant Chief Jim Collins will be
the successor to Fire Chief Tobin.
FFery department is to be carefully
scriytinized and there will be many
cha bces with the ides of March.
