the late chief of the instruction might
accomplish. No official statement
could be obtained as to what would
finally be done with the prisoner, but it
was emphatically stated that he would
be held for the present, but would be
granted all possible immunity consis-
tent with existing conditions. Gen.
Macarthur has hopes that a great deal
may be accomplished through Aguin-
aldo. During the time he has been a
prisoner he has made
Quite a Favorable Impression
upon Gen. Macarthur.
1t has been suggested that under the
terms Of notice of amnesty the pris-
oner should be set at liberty at once,
but there is a provision in the amnesty
proclamation which says those who
violate the laws of war are excepted
from its terms. Whether or not Gen.
Macarthur has satisfied himself that
Aguinaldo has not violated the laws of
war can not he stated, as the prisoner
would be permitted to take the oath
pending an investigation of his past
conduct. Aguinaldo, having been the
head of the instruction, undoubtedly
can be held until further investigation
is made or until the circumstances
which surround the situation in the
l-bilinninnc yoaEo ~ onuicahln IN rQ-
lease him outright or otherwise dis
pose of him. These conditions and the
general situation and Aguinaldo's rela-
ton to them were the subject of Gen.
MacArthur's despatch, and are being
considered by the authorities here who
will have the final disposition of the
matter.
The news of A%guinaldo's action was
received with evident satisfaction by
the War Department. and the opinion
vas expressed that
Good Results Would Follow
among those who have been still hold
ing out against the United States.
The taking of the oath in itself is
regarded as giving Aguinaldo a status
of loyalty to the United States quite
different from those still in arms. The
departments instructions for the Gov
eminent of armies in the field recites
as follows:
The commander will throw the bur
den of war, as much as lies within his
power. on the disloyal citizens of the
revolted portion or province. ana if
he deems it appropriate, or if his gov
eminent demands of him that every cit
izen shall by an oath of allegiance. de-
clare his fidelity to the legitimate gov
eminent, he NAV expel, transfer, i'm
prison, or fine the revolving citizens
who refuse to take the oath. etc.
Whether it is expedient to do so,
and whether reliance a be placed
upon such oath. the commander or his
government have the right to decide"
In the present case Gen. Macarthur
has considered it expedient to have
Aguinaldo take this oath, and appar-
emily has held that reliance can be
placed upon the oath. They army g
lations make no distinct provision that
the taking o. the oath shall give com
plete liberty to . person. although the

The Details.
CHICAGO, April 2.-Carter H. Har-
rison has been reelected mayor of
Chicago for the second time and will
next week commence his third term
as the chief executive of the city.
His official plurality over Judge Ell
bridge Hanecy, the Republican nomi-
nee, is 28,275 votes. The total vote of
the city is Harrison, 156, 952; Hanecy,
1928, 695.
In the last mayoralty election the
vote was Harrison, Dem, las, 496; Car
ter, Rep, 107,437. Harrison's pluarity,
Al, 059.
Out of the thirty-five wards of the
city Harrison to-day carried twenty
six and Hanecy nine. The vote was
badly split, some of the strongest Re-
publican precincts of the city giving
only a small plurality for the party
nominee, and some of them going for
Harrison, who, however, suffered in
some of the Democratic strongholds.
The city wards were re-districted after
the presidential election and the regu-
lar najorities in some of the wards
were turned squarely around from what
they have always been.
1t rs impossible at this time to pre-
dict the exact formation of the new
council, but the indications are at pres
ent that the Republicans will have a
working majority. The present body
consists of 80 Republicans, 81 Demo-
crtts and 4 independents. Of the hold
overs 16 were Republicans, Is Demo-
Gratis and 3 independents.
The chief issue in the campaign has
been the granting of franchises to the
street car companies of the city. These
all expire soon by limitation and the
terms of extension are to be settled
during the next two years. Harrison
has in former years made a record
against the granting of long franchises
and he and all of his followers claimed
throughout the campaign that the Re
publican nominee was inclined to grant
the long time privileges.
This, the Republicans denied with
great energy, making their campaign
on the flaws they picked in the record
of Mayor Harrison, and saying that
Hanecy was no more disposed to
favor the street car companies than is
Harrison.
Hanecy was the nominee of the Re-
publican machine which is dominated
by ex-Congressman VIM. Lorimer,
and this fact cost him many votes in
his party as there are many of the
rank and file of the party who are
stoutly opposed to their party machine
and all of its works. The Demo-
cratic following of Ex-Governor Alt
geld was against Harrison.
One of the features Of the campaign
was the aldermanic contest in the
Twenty-frst ward, Mayor Harrison's
home ward, where Honore Palmer,
son of Mrs. Potter Palmer, was a can
didate for election on the Democratic
ticket, it being his first essay in poll
tics. His opponent was S. H. Helm,
Republican, who has been alderman
from the ward for two years. Palmer
was elected by a majority OF about
