TOLD HIM He
COULD VOTE
THAT rs WHY FITZGERALD HAS
TO FACE A SERIOUS CHARGE
IN COURT.
WAS ONE OF THE MANY
ELECTION FLOATERS.
An Unknown Man Had Told Him That
He Could Register and Instructed
Him How to Vote.

Charles Fitzpatrick was given a pre-
limnary hearing before Justice Nichols
today on charge of illegal registration
on October IS. and was held to await
the action of the district court, his bond
Eeing fixed at $500.
In view of the fact that Roy S. Alley
was a witness in the case, the state was
represented by Miles Cavanaugh and the
defendant by w. w. Likens. The de-
fendant is a smooth-faced boy whose ap-
pearance indicates that he might be
easily deceived. The testimony went to
show that he had been instructed how
to vote. Edgar Alley, who, as spec
ial deputy sheriff on election day. ar
rested Fitzpatrick. stated that while TAX
ing the prisoner to Jail the latter told
him he knew he had no right to reg
ister. but he had been told to put a
cross in the circle at the top of the mid
Gle column of the ballet.
Roy S. Alley told the court that Fitz-
patrick told him prior to arrest that
somebody in a lodging house at the
north side of West Galena street, oppo-
site the polling place of precinct No.
u, at which he was staying, had told
him and all other boarderS in the house
that they could register and vote for
president on residence of twenty
four hours in the state.
A. b. Marshman also gave testimony.
When sworn he held up his left hand
because his right was bunged up with
an attack of rheumatism. He told the
court he was a registry agent in dist
rict 20 for the election and on October
% he had registered Charles Fitzpat-
rick, who gave his age as - years. his
place of residence 50 West Galena street
and his birthplace Colorado.

PANAMA'S ADVANTAGES.

The question for the best route for an
isthmian canal has received so much at
tention Of late that the following natural
advantages by that via Panama over the
Nicaraguan route will hardly be dis
puted by persons conversant with the
subject: FRS, good natural harbors
familiar for many years to navigatorG
opposed to artificial hai bors, one of which
will demand constant outlay for mainte-
nance; second, land route less than a
quarter as long, summit level to be
surmounted of onl. about half the
height, involving only half,tne number OF
locks; third, curvatures more gentle than
on any existing or projected ship canal,
contrasted with curves too abrupt for
rapid passage; fourth, far less danger
from earthquakes than exists in Nlcara-
qua; no troublesome wlnt> OF rivers ITO
be encountered, much less rainfall where
heavy excavation is demanded: fifth.
and finally, location in a single country
where every interest will favor the can
al, and thus render it's protection
against malicious injuries far easier than
in Nicaragua, where for many miles the
route lies close to the border of two
states which are often hostile, and are
always jealous of each other.-H. L. Alb

In accordance with instructions given
by the presidents OF western railroads at
their meeting in New York last week,
the general passenger agents met and
adopted measures to stop the rate cut
ting on theatrical and other party bus,-
ness which has been nracticed by some
lines. Any road found guilty in the
future of the manipula ton of passenger
rates is to be properly punished, so the
presidents declare.

spicuous movement of the day was IN
Metropolitan Street Railway which was
affected by the published discussion OF
the condition of a prominent trust com
pany. This publication served to ex

Brooklyn Rapid Transit and the Tobacco
stocks were affected. metropolitan fell
an extreme 81. An announcement of the
bidders for the New York Rapid Transit
tunnel contract rallied the stock slight
~ above last nights level, on the belief
that Metropolitan interests were concern
ed in the bidding. An example of tht
kind of motives that influenced the trad
ing was that assigned for the buying OF
Sugar. One of the large selling orders
came from a brokerage honse which
handles money loans for the American
Sugar Refining Company The traders
argued that opening selling by insiders
indicated a desire to induce selling by
others upon which sapient conclusion
they bought Sugar. London seemed to
take a cheerful view of the military
Developments In South Africa, but with
very little effect an this market. Reports
of a strike depressed American Steel and
Wire and some other metal stocks in SYM
pathy.
The money market continued to work
easier under the influence of continued
gains from the interior anil from the

New York, Jun. 15.-Cotton futures
were neglected almost from start TO
finish in the local market today. No
body appeared to be in possession of
orders and scalpers were indifferent.
The opening was easy with prices UNI
changed to five points lower, the decline
being more in the way of sympathetic
response to weak oables than to special
pressure from the bear side. Later I'M
favorable English adyicCs caused fur
Their settling of values here, but in no
way encouraged shorts, not a few of
whom took advantage of the decline to
even up accounts. Though receipts We're
light and Southern markets generally
strong. the trade overlooked these fac
tors and diverted attention exclusively
TO the situation in Liverpool and South
Africa. New Orleans and local ex
port houses Were identified as the prin-
cipal buyers through Liverpool pur-
chased scattered lots from time to time
Liverpool weakness was reported later
in the day as due partially to heavy
selling for the purpose of undoing Old
''StraddleS." The market closed steady
at a net loss of one to two points.
