In this count OF the presidential votes
there were five sets OF candidates, the
Republican, Democrat, Prohibition, Soc
ialist nomination and Socialist Labor The
last named party received no votes for
president in harrington, Charlestown and
East Greenwich. This was also true OF
the Socialist nomination papers, except
I'm harrington where there were four who
voted for the candidates.
A feature of the count today was the
few changes made over the wardens
figures.
The greatest difference made was in the
count for Roosevelt I'm Burrillvile, where
the warden's count was reduced from $40
to s2s. a difference OF is votes.
Roosevelts loss over his warden's count
five votes. but Parkor's gain was 2s votes.
so that he made a net gain for the dis
tricts counted to date OF 80 votes.
The blank and defective ballots are
found in smaller numbers than in the
counts where there was n close count.
Some OF the largest patches OF detectives
being found In East Providence, 102: Cum
berland, 80; Cranston, 40, and Bristol, al.
There were also large amounts or
blanks. l07 being found ir Cranston, los
in>Cumberland and Ill I'm East Providence.
These figures show a rather peculiar sit
uation compared TO the New York bor-
in a total vote OF $3.50 1876 votes but 81 de-
fectve ballots were cast and but ll12
blanks.
The small amount Of mistakes and con-
sequently detectives can be explained by
the fact that 292O voters who made errors
are recorded as having reported the fact
and received new ballots.
The count was resumed shortly before
o'clock and the returning board made
equally good time during the afternoon.
n IL considered extremely likely that
the presidential count will have beer com
pleted by Saturday morning. so II Is bare
ly possible that by a week from Saturday
the entire work Of the official count will
be complete and In the printers hands.

Today certain experts discussed the
causes OF n floating" kidney from which
Mrs. Vester suffers. The defendant claims
that this tropble is due not 10 the car ac-
oident. but TO tight lacing OF her corsets
by Mrs. Vester.
DR.. Noyes, one Of the best known ex-
perts WAS asked about this today He
admitted that tight lacing often caused
the trouble known as floating kidney"
The doctor was so prodded with questions
that he had TO cry out that he was not
a corset expert.
Counsel for the defence wanted to know
II men were not sometimes troubled with
floating kidney" and the doctor admitted
they were and that he never heard OF but
one, man who wore corsets, There were in
jected into the trial remarks about women
desiring TO keep their corset numbers like
their ages down. And an admission was
secured that women sometimes bought
small numbered corsets and evened up
with long laces.
Lawyers who are married men had lot
