FRENCH METHOD COPIED.
Members of the Reichstag Will Here
after Vote by Card.

Members Of the Reichstag Will Here
after Vote by Card.
BERLIN, Nov. 1.-THE Reichstag to-
day. by 1917 to IS votes, decided to abandon
voting by roll call and adopt method
OF voting by card similar to the practice
of the French Chamber of Deputies. The
Socialists and Moderate Radicals being in
hopeless minority, offered only a list
less opposition. For three hours, until the
decisive vote was taken, at about 3 o'clock,
the time was spent in monotonous roll calls
on minor propositions. The new proceed
ure was tried Immediately. Four bronze
cups were carried by servants up and
down the aisles. Each cup was attended
by an assistant secretary. Into these cups
names were printed, and with yea" or
nay or mot voting also printed on
them. Each member marked out two of
these designations, leaving one standing
as his vote. The Socialists attempted to
waste time in preparing their cards, but
after many delays the vote, which was 1874
to IL, on an obstructive motion of the
Moderate Radicals, was announced In eight
cen minutes, as against thirty-five for the
old way 1t is calculated that when the
members get accustomed to the method 800
votes will be taken and counted in five
minutes
IF any member doubts the correctness
Of the count" said President Won Kalles-
tren, "he can verify ballots in the secre-
tary's room.
Herr SPAIN, Center party, said: I'VE
shall have to adopt a rule to limit debate
before our Parliament is as effective a
working body as that of the United States
Congress-
After subsequent vote by the new pro-
cess, Herr Singer. Socialist, complained
that members dropped their cards into the
cups themselves, instead of handing them
to the secretaries for deposit This &C.
casioned a stormy passage, during which,
amid Socialist outcries of 1T is falsei'
1T is a swindle!' President Won Kalles-
claimed:
Gentlemen, remember this is the Ger
man Reichstag and not the Austrian
Reichsrath."
The evening papers quote the presidents
remark, but suppressed the words Aus
TRAN Reichsrath" Such an exclamation
from the president of the Reichstag is con-
sidered likely to produce comment in Aus
tria and may possibly call forth an official
disclaimer here
The tariff obstructionists in the Rechstag
have by no means given up the fight, but,
by the adoption of the new voting rule,
their principal weapon is now taken out
of their hands.

LARGER THAN EXPECTED.
Shortage of Former Treasurer Rose,
of wabash, as Finally Determined.

Special to the Indianap polls Journal.
WABASH, Ind, Nov. H-Expert Crib
ben, who was engaged by the City Council
to make an examination of the accounts
of John B. Rose, ex-treasurer of the city
of Wabash, completed his work tonight,
and submitted his report to the finance
committee of the Council and some of
the bondsmen.
The result of the investigation is a
surprise, as ii increases the amount of the
shortage to $13, 102. or about $500 more
than was originally reported. The report
shows discrepancies in the cash hand
the sum credited almost at the beginning
\of the first term and continuing down TO
the last year of his second term. Omis-
sions of entries occurred and il was with
difficulty, the expert said, that he could
ascertain the true shortage In many in
stances warrants were totally missing. The
bOndsmen will hold meeting next week
and will employ an accountant to go over
the figures and verify the same.
There is an impression that Rose is en-
titled to some credits which do not ap-
pear, and which will reduce the amount
alleged to be due. The bondsmen have
received in property and cash about $500,
leaving the net loss they will sustain about
$500 If the experts figures are correct.
