.BALK JOHN SUTHERIN.
Stopped Illegal Voters From
Asylum Thus New Precinct.

The dividing of the Sutherin precinct
in Topeka township and the making Of
a new precinct to be known as Hart
socks precinct is a move for the purpose
of securing the insane asylum vote.
There are some 30 or so votes from the
asylum which has heretofore been in the
Sutherin precinct just west of town but
will hereafter be in a precinct known as
HartsOclxs where there are not more
than a half score Of votes besides those
cast from the asylum Al township
election John Sutherin was candidate
for road oyerseer and was defeated on
account of the asylum vote being cast
solidly for his opponent. Al the next
election Sutherin challenged the entire
asylum vote on the grounds that the
employees of the asylum are not actual
residents Of the community. Although
the asylum people were in the majority
and could control the organization Of
the board SutheTin Won and the votes
Were not cast An opinion was then Sc
cured from Attorney General GODDARD
that the asylum employees were not en-
titled to vote in Topeka township.
At a meeting of the Republican coun-
ty central committee a motion was made
that all who would not support the en-
tire Republican ticket be ousted from
the committee Sutherin is and has been
committeeman from his precinct for
years He caused a sensation by an
nouncins at the meeting that he would
not support Governor Stanley as the
governor had appointed a PopuIist to
be superintendent of the insane asylum
and he offered his resignation. Later he
was induced TO remain on the committee
and the matter was smOothed over
In order to secure the asylum vote
without a challenge from Sutherin the
new precinct has been established
Sutherin did not submit without a fight

cinCt but failed

TO BUILD NEW YACHT.
Americas Defender of the Cup Not to
Be the Columbia

New York. Oct. 20.-An officer Of the
New York Yacht club is authority for
the statement that a new boat viii be
built to defend the Americas cup and
that the Herreshoffs viii be the builders.
This IS the first positive declaration
that has been made in this matter. It
was not said whether the new yacht will
be owned by an Individual or a syndi-
cate but the announcement indicating
the steps TO be taken for the proper de-
Tense of the trophy will probably be
made at the regular meeting Of the club
to be held on October %.
1t viii now be left with the Herreshcffs
to produce a boat that is faster than the
Columbia. These builders have perkaps.
reached the limit of lightness and safety
IN the matter OF spars and rigging. but it
is to be found out il they have reached
these limits in the matter OF hull con-
struction.
1t viii also be interesting to see. if
with greater area OF canvas than has
yet been seen in the cup defenders. it
can be made to stand and perform the
service that is required. The yachting
world win watch the outcome with much
interest
George Gould, it is said. is willing TO
undertake the task of building Sham
rock rs opponent.
eablegram to the World from Lon
oon quotes Sir Thomas Upton as saying
Of the terms and conditions OF the yacht
races:
IF the New York Yacht club should
err al all IN dealing with these arrange
Inents l believe they would err in my
favor.
AS 8 rule there is not SO much wind
at the Sandy Hook course as I should
like Ihere are other parts of the coast
Wnere We could more depend on getting
stlm breeze, but advantage or dfsad-
vantage II that respect would apply to
both yachts.
Personally. much prefer to sail over
the course where previous a tternDfs have
been made to win the cup'
