MARYLAND'S NEW BALLOT LAW
Politicians Play Tricks with IT Mt
First Election.


Frederick, Md, April 16.-The first cleo
ton held in the state under the new cleo
ton law was the municipal election i'll this
city to-day. Owing to the arrangement of
the names of the candidates in alphabet
cal order the count is slow and the Of
fetal result probably will not be known
before tomorrow morning. The indica-
tions, however, are that George E. Smith,
Democrat. has been elected Mayor, ana
that all five Democratic aldermen have
been elected. E. a. Gittinger, Republican,
probably has been elected city register.
Many ballots were defective.
The action of the supervisors in putting
the word Democratic" after the name
of each Democratic candidate so that it
would conform in style and ap-
pearance and occupy exactly the same
space on the ballot as the word "Repub-
lican" caused much complaint among the
Republican manager
1t is said the colored illiterates were in
structed to vote for the long name aud
when the Democrats learned this they
changed the word Democrat" to Demo
cratic" Then, according to general re-
port, the illiterates were told to vote for
William Fl. Ramsburg, who heads the
ticket, the Republican candidate for
Mayor, and e. A Gittinger, who heads
the ticket on the second block, the Re
publican candidates for register, and 10
let the rest of the ticket go, as any at
tempt TO vote for an aldermanic candi-
date might endanger the ballot

STRANGE CASE OF TELErArHY.
Dying Woman Sends "a Mental Mess
age TO n Son Supposed 10 he Dead.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
Belleville, ILL.,, April 12.-AIrs. Elizabeth
Mueller of this place sent a telepathic
message across three states to her son.
whom she had not seen in eighteen years
and who was supposed to be dead. and
summoned him to her deathbed.
Eighteen years ago Paul Mueller went
away from Bellevile with a circus. After
a time letters ceased coming from him,
and the years passed he was given up
as dead. A week ago his mother was
taken sick and it became evident that she
would die.
She received an impression that her son
was alive and called for him. He was at
Dayton, o., an inmate of the Soldiers
Home. He could not sleep. ana in the
middle of the night 1t seemed to him that
his mother was calling for him. Three
nights he passed sleeplessly hearing the
calls. He obtained a furlough and last
night he arrived here, a few hours be-
fore her death.

DIVORCES ARE WORRIED.
Supreme Court Gives the North Da-
kOta Industry a Death Blow.

kOta Industry a Oeath Blow
Fargo, N. D., April 16.-As a result of
the United States Supreme Court decis-
ion, declaring invalid divorces granted in
this state, in which residence was not
bona fide, there came flood of teie-
grams to-day from those likely to be af
fected. 1t is believed that owing to the
practice of rushing home Immediately
after DEGREES were granted, less than 10
per cent. of the divorces allowed during
the recent divorce period would be found
valid If contested. But of those secured
large percentage were agreed cases, where
appearance was made by both parties.
Comparatively few had bitter contests,
and only in these can the question of
residence be raised. Many of the
latter class, however "lelu"eu
distinguished Fasteners and foreigners.
majority of these have remarked, and
the decision of the court not only affects
their present status, but the legitimacy
of many children born subsequently, to
second marriages. This makes the courts
finding far-reaching and creates great
anxiety. Applicants for divorces have aN
ways been warned against abandoning
their residences so quickly, but much of
the trouble has been caused by divorce
bureaus, operated by INSCRIPTIONS local
attorneys with branch offices in the East.
A majority of the victims have been from
New York. although New Jersey, Penn
svlvania and the New England states are
well represented. Notwithstanding that
twelve months residence is now required.
there are a number Of applicants here at
present.
