Milbank Review: The city of Alb

crowd which attended the Demo-

GIRLS PUT OUT FIRE.
Fair Goods at Washburn Save Build
ings From Destruction.

Washburn girls fought fire on the
Washburn campus at noon today, and
probably saved some of the college
buildings from destruction. AS it was,
the south campus was burned off and
about 40 handsome cedar trees in the
grove west of the observatory were
destroyed.
The fire started shortly before noon
from some unknown cause. When
discovered it was roaring up through
the long dry prairie grass in the di-
rection of the college buildings. Near
ly all the college students had gone
home, but the girls who room and
board at the three college dormitories,
Holbrook,' Hartford and Within halls
were soon aware of what was going
on. They put on their old clothes and
responded to the call of duty. With
old brooms, buckets of water and
pieces of wet sacking they attacked the
fire under the direction of some of
the men folks who happened to be on
the campus. Had it not been for their
efforts, the whole of the magnificent
cedar grove, comprising hundreds of
trees, would doubtless have been de-
stroyed, and fire raging among these
trees would in all probability have
communicated to Within hall and
other adjoining buildings.

INDIANA.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. S.-Reports
received from three-fourthS of the
counties in the state show that one
of the heaviest votes in the history of
Indiana is being polled. The weather
is cold and disagreeable in nearly ev-
cry county.
This afternoon rain began to fall
in this city and in several parts of the
state There have been nine arrests
here for illegal voting. During a per-
sonal alteration at an Eighth ward
voting place Wesley Richmond, a
negro, was fatally shot by his brother
in-law.
indianapolis, Ind, Nov. Selection
day in Indiana opened with ideal
weather. Reports from all parts of
the state show better organizations
than ever before. Both parties have
made elaborate arrangements to get
out the full vote Republican mana
gers are claiming the state by 10000,
with gain of two congressman and
a safe ma ajority in the legislature.
Evansville, Ind, Nov. S.-The first

WEATHER FAVORABLE.

New York, Nov. S.-Throughout the
entire east ideal weather prevails to-
day From Maine down the coast line
and back into the interior it is sunny
and crisp and as a result an extremely
heavy vote is being polled. This is
particularly true in the rural districts
where a long spell of dry weather has
put the roads in excellent condition and
ena bIes the voters to reach the polls
with ease. In fact, up to noon today,
reports indicate that the good weather
extends over the entire country and
leads the experts at headquarters TO
predict that the vote cast will be the
heaviest in many elections.
In New York state the weather con-
ditions and the earnest efforts of both
parties to get the voters out early are
having a decided effect and from many
places up state it was reported that a
third of the vote had been cast by 3
O'Clock. An unusually heavy vote was
reported in every city and town heard
from during the morning. Workers for
the Republicans and Democrats were
active in getting out the vote but no
trouble was reported and little was an
ticipated.
In this city perfect weather brought
out a large early vote and the voting
continued heavy during the morning.
At Tammany hall it was estimated
that the vote in the city during the
morning was being cast at the rate of
100000 an hour. Although d number
of arrests were made on charges of il
legal registra ton and a fight occurred
in one polling place this morning. vot-
ing in general in Greater New fork
was quietly done.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1904-11-08

OF that number about SO were cast
before o'clock.
In the third precinct of this ward
210 votes were cast UP to IL o'clock.
The total registration amounted to
523. The same story of scratching the
ticket comes from that quarter. 1t is
stated that apparently but two
straight Republican ballots had been
cast up to IL o'clock.
In the fourth precinct of the Third
ward 120 of the AIS votes in the pre-
cinct were in before 8 O'Clock. The
same story of scratching the ticket
comes from that precinct. The re-
ports indicate that three-fourths of
the voters are scratching the ticket.
His Vote Stolen.
r. H. Garrett of 1910 Lane street,
an old soldier, was cheated out of his
vote this morning.
a young man, who is believed to be
student at Washburn college, went
into the voting place in the first pre-
cinct of the Fifth ward where Mr..
Garrett should vote, and gave it out
that Garrett was his name. He was
not known by the judges, and it seems
the judges were not acquainted with
Garrett, so the young man was per-
mitted to vote under that name.
Later Mr.. Garrette came to cast his
ballot and he was not permitted to
do so.

DRIVE A WEDGE.
Japanese Make an Important Advance
on Port Arthur.

Chicago, Nov S.-A special to the
Daily News from Dalny, Nov. s, via
Kobe, Nov. Z, says:
After three days of continuous bonn
bardment of Port Arthur, which
caused extensive destruction to the
ShCjuSan and Niryusan forts in the
west center of the Russian line of de-
fenSe, and also to Kekwan fort, the
right wing of the Japanese army as
saulted Shojusan yesterday afternoon.
Having carried the approaches to that
height the assailants intrenched them
selves under the glaciS of the forts.
In the evening the left wing delivered
an assault on Kekwan, fighting its way
to the lower parapet. There the Jap
anese held their ground stubbornly in
the face of Russian counter attacks.
Having been reinforced during the
night, the Russians swept down on the
Japanese and desperate hand-to-
hand conflict ensued. The Japanese
beat back the enemy and destroyed
two covered positions in the front
moat. A Japanese sub-lieutenant with
thirty volunteers then succeeded in
making his way to the rear of the
fort. There he engaged in a personal
conflict with a Russian officer and kill
ed him. Having discovered two more
defenses in the rear moat, the sub
lieutenant withdrew with loss of
two men. AN Later in the night the ad-
vanced position of the Japanese was
taken and retaken twice. The beseig-
ers succeeded in holding the ap-
pfOdcneS ana constructing IrencheS
connecting them with the army'S front
parallel. At dawn a number of dead
were visible on the slopes. Fort P
north of the new and old batteries
in the left center of the line of the
defense, was captured by the severe
fighting of the night. These opera
tions have successfully driven an eff
fective wedge into the Russian center
Severe explosions and active fires have
occurred in the fortress within the last
few days. The total casualties of :he
Japanese in the late attacks We're
LOO. Over 500 were killed up 20 Oct
9. The spirit of the men is magnifi-
cent. The firing of all the guns is
wonderfully effective.
The climax to the late lombard
ment came between 4 and o'clock
Saturday afternoon. 1t was a superb
specta Gle. Every fort of the enemy
was engaged, and the fighting in the
trenches was constant and severe. The
outposts of the contending forces were
only forty feet apart. At / O'Clock
this morning one of the Japanese
trenches collapsed into a Russian gall
lery. The enemy, being surprised un-
der ground, fed in confusion.

station houses. Many of them were
successful in proving their right to
cast their ballot and were promptly
released At the west Forty-seventh
street station fourteen arrests in cleo
ton cases were made before o'clock,
but the deputies were not able to pre-

matters were expedited they would be
removed.
Reports of clashes between would
be voters, the police and election Of
ficers came from many election dis
tricts. but up to noon no trouble of
particularly serious nature had occur
red. AS the day progressed arrests
for alleged illegal voting become more
frequent than during the early hours
and at some of the station houses war
rants came in faster than they could
be served. Four of those arrested
were federal employees in the treasury
department at Washington. They
were taken to court. but were later
discharged after making satisfactory
vote.
A heavy vote was reported UP to
1870 in Kings county (Brooklyn.)
Sheriff Earlanger of this, New York,
county today received a telegram from
Governor Odell directing him to pre-
serve order in the various polling
place, particularly in the Eighth as
sembly district. and saying that he
would hold the sheriff responsible for
the enforcement of the order.
Acting upon Governor Odell's order
Sheriff Earlanger at once appointed
twenty-eight special deputies to main
tain order in the district where the
trouble had occurred. The Eighth
district is in the lower east side of the
city and is the scene of heated con-
tests on every election day.

TROUBLE A. LAWRENCE
Votes Invalidated by Mistake of the
Printer.

Lawrence, Kas., Nov. SIT was dis
covered here today that there is a
square opposite the blank space on the
Democratic ticket on the ballot in this
county. Many votes were cast before
this was noticed, and it is known that
number of people have marked in
the square opposite this vacant place.
When this fact was made known
Henry Albaugh went to Geo. w. Bar
ker, the local Republican chairman,
and W. r. Stubbs, state chairman, and
asked that they agree to count these
votes in view of the mistake made in
printing them. They refused and said
they would insist that the ballots with
a mark in this square be thrown out.
Notice was accordingly served that
this action will be contested.
There is one Democratic blank on
the ballot. The convention left one
place for railroad commissioner vacant
to enable their voters to support
Robinson and there should be no
square opposite this blank space.
1t is believed that the mistake was
made by the printer, though it is
charged by a few that it was done on
purpose to invalidate the ballots of
men who want to vote for the Fu-
sion railroad board.

DISGRACE POLICE FORCE.
Two Patrol Drivers. Out on a "Tear.
Start Fight.

The two city patrol drivers, Will
White and James Dickson, were out
on a tear" last night, according to
reports from the owl restaurant,
where they had a fight with William
Trimble, an omnibus driver Trimble
went to the police station this morn
ing and complained to the chief
about the drivers. claiming that they
had assaulted him. The drivers 1eny
this, and say that they chased Trim
BILE after he had drawn a knife on
them. They got the knife and gave 1T
to d policeman to keep as evidence If
the affair was reported.
The proprietors of the "Owl' res
taurant, who have been arrested on
several occasions for alleged liquor
selling, seem to reap the benefit when
ever police officers get off the reser-
vation. On a former occasion the
same pair of officers chased the pro-
prietor5 and guests out of the place.
Chief Stahl has said nothing con-
cerning the affair. and the men do not
know whether they will be discharged
or kept on the force.
