DIAMONDS ARE DEARER.
Syndicate In Putting Up the Prices ON
All "Rouxh" stones.

NEW YORK, Oct 14.-Leading diamond
merchants in this city have received cabled
adyices from their brokers in London, Am
sterdam and Antwerp that the diamond
selling syndicate of the De Beers Com
pany of South Africa has advanced the
price all small rough" goods per cent,
and the price Of the larger rough diamonds
10 per cent. The syndicate handles the entire
output OF the De Beers Company. which pro-
duces, II n said. about 95 per cent. of the
total output OF the world. The advance is
the third since February and diamonds
were then selling higher than they have
been at any time since the consolidation of
the South African mines In the seventies.
Accompanying the cables came advices
from the diamond market centsrs of Eu-
rope. Indicating that conditions there are
unprecedented for thirty years. German
buyers there have invaded Antwerp and
Amsterdam. the principal cutting cities of
the continent, and purchased all the cut
and polished goods ip sight. Another feature
of the new market conditions Is that Euro
pean dealers have refused to sell goods on
time. The reasons given for the advance are
manifold, but the general opinion seems to
be that the output of the Kimberley field is
decreasing. Diamond importations to this
country show decline recently.

Charles K. Newlin. chairman of the
Prohibition committee. was badly wrought
up yesterday over the early morning cleo
pioneering of one of his neighbors. Mr..
Newlin is a resident of Irvington. as is
one of Holtzman's strong supporters Mr..
Newlin thought the suburb would surely go
Prohibition and, in fact, il did vote pretty
heavily for Hitz, but Mr.. Newln's precinct
was twenty-five short OF the Prohibition
poll. The strange part of it was that these
twenty-five totes were cast for Holtzmap
for mayor and the remainder of the Pro-
hibitiOn ticket. Mr.. Newlin was unable to
account for the queer vote and began at
once TO investigate why Mr.. HitZ had been
the only candidate boycotted by these
twenty-five Prohioitionists After due in
vestiSatien he found that his neighbor, who
was very much interested in Mr.. Holtz-
man election and had advocated II skill
fully, arose at o'clock on the morning of
election day and made a canvass of the
precinct using the argument that he did
not want them To throw away their votes
on the Prohibition ticket, but he did want
TO see them place their mayoralty vote
where IL would count The result was that
twenty-five of Mr.. Newlins promised votes
helped elect Mr.. Hoffman.

So much satisfaction did the voting ma

that 1t is probable voting machines will be
used generally throughout Marion county in
the presidential election next year. The re-
suits from the ten machines used Tuesday
demonstrated without doubt their aecura-

ers are in favor of supplying the entire coun-

cast in the presidential election by means
of the voting machines.
