CARTER CONTINUES
MAYOR OF
CHICAGO
Has Plurality of 6,948 Over
His Republican Opponent
The Rest of the City Of
fees Divided Between the
Two Chief Parties.

CHICAGO, April 7.-Carter H. Har-
rison was elected mayor of Chicago to-
day for the fourth time, his plurality
by unofficial count over Graeme Stew
art, the Republican candidate, being
6,948. The total vote was: Harrison,
146,323; Stewart, 139,375; Cruice, In
dependent Labor, 9,999; Breckon, So
cialist, 11,212; Haines, Prohibitionist,
2,S48. In the last mayoralty election
the vote was: Harrison, Democrat,
156, 1856; Hanecy, Republican, 12S,413;
Hoyt, Prohibition, 1928; Collins, So
cialist, 1884.
The early returns were in favor Of
Stewart and at one time he was 1000
ahead, but later returns cut down his
plurality steadily and the Republican
leaders in private conversation ad-
mitted Stewards defeat by about 5000.
In the First precinct of the Twenty
first ward, in which both Harrison and
Stewart reside, the vote was Harrison
Al, Stewart 101. In the last mayoralty
election the vote was Harrison 80,
Hanecy 54.
Traction Question Chief Issue.
The chief issue In the campaign was
the traction question, both candidates
faVoring ultimate municipal ownSr-
ship Of the street railways. Stewart
advocated an immediate improvement
Of conditions, making the best terms
possible with the companies. Harrison
recommended a delay until the city
had obtained what it desired from the
companies. Mayor Harrison said to-
night:
Il regard the present election as less
of personal victory for myself than
as a victory for municipal ownership
"a victory which should lead to the
development of public national as well
as municipal utilities. Partisan lines
were cast aside to a great extent but
the result is at the same time a sub
stantial Endorsement of my adminis-
tration."
The Republicans elected John F.
Mutsky for city attorney by 500 plural
ity, and Fred Bender for city clerk by
300. The Democrats elected Ernest
Hummel for city treasurer by 21,-
700. The new city council will be
35 Republicans, 33 Democrats and /
Independent Democrat The result in
one ward is still in doubt. The old
council was 80 Republicans, 80 Demo-
Gratis and 1 independent.

cONTAGIoN IN CARS.
People Request Passage of Wilson's
Street Car Measure.

The Wilson bill providing for the
fumigation and municipal control OF
heating and ventilation of street cars,
which is in the hands Of the house
committee on general legislation has
aroused as much popular interest as
any house bill of the session.
The bill provides that the heating,
ventilation and fumigation of street
cars shall be under the control Of
health commissioners or health boards
Of cities and towns traYersed by the
lines. The systems for heating and
ventilation are to be prescribed by the
health authorities and the rules are TO
be subjected to repeal or modification
at the will of such authorities.
The bright particular feature of the
bill and the one which seems to strike
the popular fancy is that providing for
the fumigation of the cars every twelve
hours. Cars are to be fumigated by a
crucible method prescribed by the
health authorities, and such fumigatlon
must be certified by form signed by
the health officer and prominently

BELIEVE FIRE WAS OF
INCENDIARY ORIGIN
Firemen So Regard a Blaze in House
on Banfil Street.

1t is thought that an attempt was
made to destroy the old frame house
at 351 Banfil street last night. The
building is an old three-story frame
structure, and is leased by Mrs. Mary
Hullbach, and is occupied by several
families. When the fire occurred there
was no one in the house.
The fire was discovered at 10 o'clock
last night by a passerby, who noticed
the flames in the upper part of the
structure. The flremen think that the
confiagration was of incendiary origin,
for flames were found in several diff
ferent parts of the house. AS they
were about finished flames were dis
covered in a closet
The loss to building and contents is
estimated at S40o.

Davis Not Wanted.

Chicago, July 25.-Defeated in his at

club, George Davis will. it is thought.
seek a reconciliation with the owner of
the White Sox and report here for the
purpose of playing out his contract,
which does not expire until fall. John
NJ Ward was the attorney who drew
up the contract between Davis and the
Southside club, and it was as ironclad
an affair it was possible to make it,
binding the player as much as it did
the club. 1t was drawn up at the in
stance of Davis himself.
1t is doubtful now if Comiskey will
care to take Davis back onto his salary
list The veteran player is reported to
be in bad condition to play, and at best
it is thought he has only year or two
more in the business.
Davis disobeyed the terms of the
treaty however. and remained away
from Chicago. and is said to have been
paid his salary regularly by the New
York club. When PulliaIn issued his
decree recently allowing Brush to es-
tablish his rights to the service of Davis,
the Chicago club commenced proceed
ings in court asking for an injunction
restraining Davis from playing with
any other club except the White Sox.
An injunction was granted in this city
when it was expected that Davis would
be played here by McGraw- Last week
a temporary injunction was granted in

pany were good. and there was no rea-
son to expect the dividends to be cut.
1t was recalled that when dividends on
the common were begun they were ac-
companied with the statement by Mr..
Morgan that they were begun only af-
ter the directors were absolutely GER
tain of their ability to continue them.
The fact that there was no apparent
reason for the selling of the stock made
it all the more alarming
Much of the selling some weeks ago
was eXDlainable by the fact that John
D. Rockefeller made a formal demand
that the dividend on the common be cut,
and that he sold heavily, not dreaming
that his demand would be ignored. This
fact was exclusively published in the
American" as was the other fact, that
Morgan &, Co. were depressing the steel
stocks for the sake of the arbitrage pro-
fit between the preferred, stock and the
new bonds. They, and all the members
of the bond syndicate were bulling
the bonds while bearing the preferred
stock and letting the syndicate buy it
for conversion par for par into bonds.
Under this plan Morgan & Co. sell a
block of bonds, then buy an equal num-
Der of preferred shares and convert
them par for par, delivering the new
bonds. This gives a certain profit of
from IS to IS a share. Some mem erS
of the syndicate feel that perhaps Nor
gan & Co. pushed this plan of money
movement in the stocks they are now
able to control.
In an attempt to account for the mar
ket slump in the stock many yesterday
recalled the humorous prediction of ca
lamity thta Andrew Carnegie made in
Edinburgh some months ago when he
quoted Hudibras on cold iron in his at
tempt to describe the position of holders
of the steel stocks. Mr.. Carnegie owns
bonds.

WORKERS LOSE.
Loss on u. 5. Steel Falls Heav-
lily on the TOilers.

Pittsburg July 25.-The weakness of
United States Steel Securities is known
here to be due to manipulation. 1t has
been no secret in this city for several
months that the present board of direc-
tors lost control some time ago and if
an election had been held recently for
a board of directors, it is doubtful if j..
Pierpont Morgan and his friends could
have elected a director, providing the
stockholders at large had com bined
against them.
Long ago the close friends of the steel
corporation sold their common stock.
They have been unloading all the way
down.
They got rid of large parcels Of pre-
ferred stock and the remainder they
gage bonds. The bonds cannot be voteu.
The preferred and common stocks have
equal voting values.
With the retirement of 81, 900, 900 shares
of preferred stock the stockholders lost
their votes as we'll. This can be readily
seen when it isl known that H. c. Prick
sent $4,000 shares of preferred stock to
the underwriters of the bonds to be
converted into bonds Other large in
vestors followed his example.
The Pittsburg contingent familiar
with United States Steel have been pre-
dieting for weeks that common steel is
tell why, but they had tips from the
inside Hence Pittsburgers began I'M
loading common stock and they have
been doing so ever since. The big fell
lows, however. are evidently buying,
then showering it on the market again
at a loss to further weaken it.
1t is said that the big financiers want
to squeeze out all the small fry so as to
get entire control which they hope to
do at an average of 30 or better. The
fact is pointed to that the associated
banks of New York yesterday began
closing loans on Steel common, and it
was limited that this was part of the
movement.
Widows and orphans, not to count the
thousands of day workers and hotel
walters. shop keepers and clerks who
at the advice of J. P. Morgan Il Co.
bought the Steel Trust stock at $50
a share for the common and par for the
preferred under the impression that
they were becoming partners with Nor
gan and Andrew Carnegie, yesterday
saw the common stock sell at S22 or 81
share below panic prices, while the
preferred touched So or just 81 more
than it sold for in the Great Morgan
Rockefeller panic of MAJ g. 1901.
Stocks in other steel companies

low records for many years We're made
in such as Colorado Fuel. Tennessee
Coal and Republic Iron.
When the men most prominent in thN
promotion of the Steel trust were asked
for an explana ton of the remarkable
tumble of steel stocks, they waved
their hands toward the splendid new
Stock exchange building, and said:
THEY did it."
But the big men in the trust would
not permit themselves to be quoted in
one grain of comfort to distressed
stockholders. They would only say III
