LOCAL ELECTIONS
IN OHIO TODAY
Many Charges of Fraudulent
Registration Made by Party
Organizations.

CINCINNATI. Ohio, April 5.-The
local elections throughout Ohio tomor-
row are more important than hereto
fore owing to the new municipal code
enacted recently by the Legislature,
which reorganizes every municipality.
There will be no officers holding over
and for this reason the party advan-
tages secured will be greater than here
tofore at April elections.
With more at stake than previously,
the party organizations have been un-
usually active and there are many
charges of fraudulent registration
Several hundred warrants were pre-
pared in Cincinnati today for service
tomorrow.
1t is charged that over 1000 false
registrations have been made in
single ward. The present registration
has broken all April records also in
other cities.
The mayors of the larger cities like
Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo, Colum-
bus, Dayton, GAINESVILLE and other cities

While the result tomorrow is thus
considered as Indirectly affecting the
coming election of state officers and
members of the legislature it is also
conceded that it will have a bearing
at Cleveland on both the Democratic

the Democratic opponent Of Senator
Hanna, as we'll as affect the next Dem
ocratic nomination for governor.
Burton Horn and Edwin Parkin, two
employees of the Cleveland City Rail-
way company, who live in Lakewood,
a suburb of this city, were arrested at
the instigation of the board of elections
today for alleged false registration in
Cleveland. The twenty detectives who
have been working on the registration
for the election tomorrow have report
ed that there are 1900 cases where
there may be fraudulent registration.
Consequently there was a policeman

Henry Schroeder, the pioneer taxo-
nomist and naturalist of the North

West Third street, at noon yesterday.
Old age, coupled with general break
down in health, caused death. He was
seventy eight years of age, and for

MINISTERS ASK
SULTAN TO ACT
England, Russia and Austria
Want Albanian Agita-
Iion Suppressed.

LONDON, April 6.-There is little
further development in the Balkan
crisis since Saturday. The rumor of
the death of NJ. Stoherbina, the Rus
sian consul at Mitrovitza, who was
shot by an Albanian sentry, proves to
have been premature but the conSuPS
condition is serious and symptoms of
peritonitis have appeared. It is re-
ported that the Albanian soldier who
shot him has been sentenced to fifteen
years hard labor
According to a dispatch from Con-
stantinople the Austrian, Russian ane
British ambassadors have had audi
enceS with the sultan, on whom they
impressed the necessity of suppressing
the Albanian agitation. The sultan in
formed them that in the event Of the
failure of the pacificatory mission that
he had dispatched to Albania he would
take measures for the military occupa-
ton of the disturbed district.
The Daily Mails correspondent at
Vienna aserts that Austria has mobil-
lied her Agram, Sarajevo and Temes-
var army corps, in readiness to occupy
MitroVitZa should such a measure be-
come a necessity. The correspondent
further aff1rms that a dangerous agita-
ton exists among the Mohammedan
population of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
which is secretly arming itself in spite
of all official precautions with the in
tention, it is feared, of emigrating into
old Servia to swell the ranks of the
insurgent Albanians.
A telegram from Belgrade reports
that rioting has taken place there as
the outcome of a demonstration against
an Objectionable police regulation and
many persons were wounded in the
course of the disorders.

DOES AWAY WITH
ASKING FOR JOBS
Regulations Governing Ap-
pointment Of Laborers
Satisfy Officers.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 5.-The
civil service commission today gave
out the following statement as to the
working of the recently established re-
lations for the appointment of laborers
in the departments:
Regulations to govern the appoint
ment Of unclassified laborers in the
departments in accordance with the
presidents order of July 3, 1902, have
been adopted for four departments,
as we'll as for the Smithsonian institute
and the government printing office:
Officers charged with the execution
OF the system agree that it affords re-
lief from importantly for appointments
based on other considerations than the
needs of the service. In determining
relative fitness of applicants, physical
qualifications are probably the most
important. Physicians on the force of
the commission rate each applicant on
his physical condition. Age is another
feature regulating the applications as
are also the habits.
THE interior department is the one
in which the system has longest been
tried. Its registry established on
March was headed by six entitled to
preference by reason of their naval or
military service. The twenty-four ELI
gibles next in line have general aver
age ranging from 95 to 93.6 per cent.
On physical condition they are rated
at SO, and only four of them are over
forty years of age. These are fol-
lowed by sixty, the lowest having a
general average of Gil, and all having
rating of 95 on physical condition.
Only nine of these sixty are over forty
years of age. The entire register con-
tains 220 names of persons with gen.
eral average of 20 or more"

KINGS VISIT BOTHERS
VATICAN AUTHORITIES
Plan That Edward Should Start From
Embassy Much Opposed.

ROME. April 5.-The chief topic Of
discussion at the Vaucan continues
to be whether or not King Edward will
see the pope. The ceremonial pro-
posed, that the king should start from
the British embassy, is much opposed,
not because he would be starting from
the residence of an ambassador ac-
credited to the quirinal, for the king
once there, say the Vatican authorities,
1t ceases to be an embassy to become
the house of the sovereign but because
Cardinal Rampolla must return the
royal visit to the pontiff and he would
arrive at the house, when King Ed
ward having left, il nad become again
an embassy accredited to the king of
Italy. 1t is suggested that King Ed
ward on leaving the Vatican should re-
turn to the British embassy, followed
closely by Cardinal Rampolla. who
would arrive while the king was still
there. The objection against this
course is that it would create a pre-
cedent. The nuncio at Lisbon has been
charged to sound King Edward on the
subject.

DESPERATE KILLS
MINER AND COWBOY
Murderer Mistook the Two Men for Of
ficers Pursuing Him.

KINGMAN, Ariz., April 5.-News has
just reached here of the killing of
Charles Blakely, known as the Cow
boy Pianist" and Roy Winchester,
young miner on the trail forty miles
north of this place, by James McKen-
ney. Nothing definite is known of the
cause, but it is thought McKenny, who
is wanted for the killing of w. L.
Wynn at Porterville, Cal, last month,
mistook the men for officers and laid
in wait for them on the trail. Blakely
was shot in the breast and Winchester
in the back with buckshot. After the
shooting Mckinney went to a ranch
and compelled the rencher to shoe two
horses for him and then rode away.
The rancher failed to report the killing
until three days after the shooting. A
sheriff's posse is now in pursuit of Nc
Kenney. Gov. Brodie has been asked to
send out rangers in pursuit, as it is
thought McKenney has gone south into
the Bad Mans Land of Yuma coun-
ty, where it is almost impossible for
a small posse to go with safety.

SITUATION IN CHINA
is NOT ALARMING
Reports of Serious Disturbances Ex-
cites Surprise in Pekn.

PEKIN, April 5.-The report receiv-
ed here that the action of the United
States in increasing her Asiatic SQUAD
ron is on account of the alarming re-
ports on the situation in China" eXcites
surprise in Pekin. Such reports were
not sent by the United States or Brit
1sh legations, which possess good IA
cllities for judging the situation in
China.
The only disturbances considered
serious are those in the Kwang 81
province, the southern province of
China, bordering Tonkin, where 100,-
600 rebels are said to be under arms
which were never directed against for
eigners.
The latest reports regarding Gen.
Tung Fuh Slang, the Boxer leader, and
Prince Tuan, the exiled anti foreigner,
who are at the head of the insurgent
forces in the northwestern province of
Kansu, are reassuring. The govern
ment claims to have come to an under
standing with them whereby they agree
TO refrain from hostilities. 1t is be-
lieved that the government is supply
ing them with funds on condition that
they remain quiet.
The officials promise the foreign
ministers that the indemnity bonds
will soon be signed. The officials ap-
parently have concluded that IL will be
impossible to obtain any concession in
the terms of the indemnity until that
formality is fulfilled.
The doWager empress and the court
started today on their journey to the
Western Tombs. They will be absent
from Pekin eighteen days. Other trains
will carry most OF the high officials in
Pekin, and the courts entire house
hold Of eunuchs and concubines. Bus
mess traffic on the railways entering
Pekin will be practically suspended for
several days. The masses regard the
pilgrimage with astonished disapproval
and predict that heaven will send dis
asters.

telegraphs that the famine in the
Kwang 81 province, resulting from the
rebellion there, is serious. Thousands
will die unless assistance is forthcom-
ing. He recommends that relief funds
