NINTH WARD

NINTH WARD
With their usual promptness the resi-
dents of the Ninth ward cast the greater
bulk of the wards vote before noon and
devoted their spare time in trying to take
care of the other fellow The first excite
ment of the day was caused by the refusal
OF the ballot judges in the sixty-fifth pre-
cinct to allow certain inmates of the county
hospital to vote. The objection was taken
on the ground that under section 1893 OF
the election laws residents of an asylum,
ETC., do not gain or lose residence while
inmates of such institutions The board
claimed that six of the inmates of the hos
pital, although their names were on the
great register, were not entitled to vote.
This created a general war dance in which
Deputy District Attorney McComas and
Coroner Campbell were noticeable figures.
The board refused to change its opinion and
cancelled the votes of Henry Hellman,
Charles w. Dougherty, A. P. Hildebrand,
Z. A. Estrada and II. Henderson. Mr..
Dougherty, it was said, had been a resident
of the county hospital for over two years.
The votes up to noon in the other pre-
cincts of the ward were as follows: Sixty
seventh, votes llS, registration 30l; sixty
eighth, votes, l03, registration $50; sixty
sixth, votes 81, registration 1873. In the
sixty-fourth precinct, where there are 554
votes, up to in the afternoon only 207
were cast. At that time the judges were
of the opinion that if 400 votes were regis
tered the precinct would be doing well.

in the Eighth ward was slow, not more
than onethrd of the votes being in at ~
o'clock. In some precincts the proportion
was less than 25 per cent at that hour. This
being a downtown ward, many voters
could not get away to vote till afternoon.
With the hope of tightening the crush later
in the day, many of the large establishments
were closed down at II o'clock in order to
allow the employees to go to the polls

In the sixty-frst precinct at Ley a. m.
only l04 votes had been received, or less
than one-fourth the voting strength of the
precinct. In the sixtieth 70 votes had been
cast by ll:l5 a. m, or more than half the
total expected for the entire day. In pre-
cinct ffty-eight B one man, giving his name
as |. Rosenheim, was challenged. He
wanted assistance in marking his ticket, his
eyesight being impaired. The register made
no reference to such disability and some
said they had seen the man reading a
newspaper without glasses, so he was ruled
out. Sixty-one votes had been cast in that
precinct at ll:20 a. m, or only one-third the
entire number. At 4:45 p. m. only 13O
votes had been cast, or fifty less than the
strength of the precinct.
At o'clock only half the voters in the
siXty-frst precinct had voted, ten minutes
before that hour the tally sheet showing
only 2l0 names. The vote runs 45O or better
when all the voters are out. Down on

Waco, Tex, April 4.-W. C. Brann,

His wife and children were beside him.
1t was a remarkable death-bed scene,

picture was hard one to be forgotten.
Brann's death is the result of an en-

a long series of similar tragic affairs in
