ahe 246 cities and towns voting in yester-
aay's State election 40 have been heard
from officially and the result shows that
RS the earlier returns indicated there
has been no election Of governor and lieu
tenant governor by a majority vote of the
people as is required in this State, and that
the election OF the head of the state cket
will be thrown into the General Assembly.
Two hundred and forty-hNe cities and

And no candidate has a ma iority. The
total vote cast is 69,b22. as against 81 500 in
1900. showing a gain in an off election year
of 2.523 over the election in n presidential
year which indicates the unprecedented in
terest manifested in the issues of the cleo
tion, the chief of which is the question of
changing tie present prohbitory law
While n large majority of the senators
and representatives elected are republicans
Il is the general opinion that the Assembly
Will pass high license local option law
with a referendum clause attached to
carry out the platform adopted at the re-
publican convention.
Yesterdays State election which closed
the most exciting and remarkable cam
pagn ever known in Vermont resulted in
the failure OF the republicans to elect Their
candidate for governor, General John G.
Mccullough over the combined vote of
the high license and local option candidate,
Pcrcival w. Clement, Felix McGcttrick,
the democratic candidate and Joel o.
Sherburne, the prohibition ticket owing TO
the fact that it required a majority to elect
the chief executive Of this State.
The election of governor and Lieutenant
governor will be carried to the general
assembly which convcues in October and
the friends of General Mccullough claim
that he has a majority over all on joint
ballot
Although there have been II previous
elections in the State when the people
failed to make a choice for governor and
the lawmakers have completed the elec-
ton the contests before have never been

party.

INJUNCTION ASKED
AGAINST TREASURER
Suit Against the Wilson Estate for
Collecting Claim From the
Government.

Messrs. Sergeant p. Kaut and John
Paul Jones, attorneys. yesterday filed
suit against Mr.. Edward K Thompson
administrator OF the estate Of Thomas
W. Wilson. and Hon. Ellis H. Roberts
Treasurer of the United States, for an
Injunction and the appointment Of a
receiver to take charge of a certain fund
in the Treasury.
1t is explained that the complainants
contracted with one Bette A. Aldrich, OF
NatcheZ. Miss. to collect a claim OF
81 400. due the Wilson estate by the Gov
ernment. She resigned her position as
administrator and Edward X. Thompson
was appointed in her stead.
II is said that the Government has al
lowed the claim in the amount of 81, ,495.
II collected, the complainants claim one
half under the contract with Bette A.
Aldrich.
The court Is now asked to restrain
Thompson from receiving the amount
appropriated and TO enjoin the Secretary
of the Treasury from paying 1t to him
until the claim is settled.

SNEAK THIEVES HAVE
POLICE IN A QUANDARY
Many Houses Entered by
the Clever Robbers.
Only Small Amounts Taken by the
Burglars-Department Handicap
ped by Inadequate Force.

In spite of the activity of the police
in their attempt to check the numerous
small robberies which have been re-
ported lately, the department appears
unable to give every house the neces-
sary protection. Yesterday morning al
an early hour, according to report
made to the police by Mrs. R. Powell,
of l121 South Carolina Avenue, some
one entered her house and stole 75
cents
C. NJ. Sharswood. OF 800 Twelfth Street
southeast, reported that some one
opened a window of his dining room
yesterday morning and stole Sl4.e0 from
a drawer of sewing machine.
The police have been extra vigilant in
the last few days. owing to the many
burglaries of a minor nature which have
been reported at Headquarters.
Ii is argued by the head of the de-
partment that there are still not enough
men on the force to thoroughly police
the District, and that If burglar. or
even sneak thief or second story
worker. is at all sharp he can watch for
the policemen on a beat TO go by, and,
having done this two or three times.
can readily learn just how long it takes
the officer to make his rounds. Having
learned this, the would-be thief can
gauge his time accordingly.

COMPLAINTS OF NEGROES
WHO THROW BRICKS
Practice of Hurling Heavy Missiles
Upon Slight Provocation Said to
Be Spreading.

Many complaints are being made of the
practice among a certain class Of negro
boys and men OF hurting bricks and cob
blestones. upon the slightest provoca
tion, at persons against whom they have
a real or fancied grievance. During the
past few days several persons were Sc
verely injured by these missiles, hurled
by infuriated negroes.
Last night Policeman r. A. Pence, OF
the Ninth precinct, arrested an alleged
offender OF this class in the person OF
James Cbllds. a negro boy. who without
cause threw a whole brick at Myrtle
Mitchell. small white girl.
The missile struck the child on the
mouth, cutting deep cash and causing
a discoloration of her face.
When taken to No. police station the
boy admitted to Lieutenant Daley and
Several other officers that he struck the
child as described. He will be tried in
TIE Juvenile Court by Judge Mills to-
morrow afternoon.
George V. Glenn, white man. about
seventy years OF age, was struck in the
back with brick thrown by an unknown
negro youth at Fifteenth and Streets
southeast about 3 o'clock Sunday after
noon. The aged man demonstrated with
the boy for torturi1g a cat. With an
oath the negro seized a brick and threw
1t at Mr.. Glenn. iniuring him severely.
The negro then made his escape by run
ming over the Eastern commons, toward
the iail.

sey's Court, vas complaining witness in
the Police Court yesterday against Henry
and Jennie Cissel. husband and wife,
aged respectively about ffty-fve and
fifty. and their friend. Kate Brown, a
dumpy little woman about sixty.
Mr.; Mansfield said that he lived In the
same. house with the Cisseis, and that
Saturday night when Mrs. Brown came
to visit them the Cissels raised such a
racket by singing, dancing. bowling and
cursing that they kept him and his wife
awake until broad daylight.
The Cissels and Mrs. Brown insisted
that the jollifcation was a purely inno-
cent and proper one. but Judge Bundy
did not think SO. and sentenced the trio
to serve thirty days In the workhouse.

RUSH TO PAY PERSONAL
TAX CONTINUES
Last Day in Which to File Papers
Brings Great Crowd, Which
are Marshaled in Squads.

The crush at the tax Office continue
and yesterday perhaps was the great
est since the residents of the District
began to file their lists for the personal
tax. The facilities of the Office were
taxed to the utmost, and it was literally
impossible for the clerks to respond to
all the calls upon them. Yesterday, as
Monday, the receiving clerks marshaled
those wishing to file their lists in squads
Of ten and swore them in. A few min
utes were then taken in stamping the
papers and then another squad of ten
was in readiness for administering the
oath. This continue practically un-
broken from o'clock to the closing
hour, 3 o'clock.
At that time there was large num-
Der waiting their turn, and went away
disappointed. At 3 O'Clock yesterday the
day none will be received except
those in the mails dated and sworn to
or August u. Those waiting were told
that they could have their lists pre-
pared outside of the office and could
mail them as late as midnight. To sat
!sfy the law 1t Is necessary only that the
date of the notary shall be August u
and the mailing stamp shall show one
hour prior to midnight.
1t is supposed that large number
who failed to reach the Office of the
Assessor before o'clock today will
have recourse to this means to get their
lists in.
AS nearly as the assessors could esti
mate the number filed yesterday is up
ward of $500.
Along with the rush at the desks of
the assistant assessors there was 4
constant stream OF persons at the win
dows of the Collector paying for licenses
and procuring dog tags.
