SAYS FRAUD CANNOT BE
PRACTICED ON MACHINE
Frank c. Jordan Points to Fact That
Law Prevents Illegal Use of
Voting COntIivance.

The matter of using voting ma
chimes in coming elections in Califor-
MIA is attracting a great deal Of at
tention and the article in The Call of
yesterday that Walter Parker had
found a defect in the machine exhib-
tied at Los Angeles this week has been
discussed generally.
Frank c. Jordan, general agent of
the United States Standard, says the
machines are right, and yet it is true
that at the meeting of the Board of
Supervisors. public officials and others
held Tuesday last in Los Angeles
Walter F. Parker raised a new point
which perplexed him for a minute
BY a system of locks and releases
the machine enables the voter TO cost
a ballot for any certain number of
men nominated for such offices as Su-
perior Judge, Constable, etc.
AS the law requires, opportunity is
also given to vote for independent
candidates for these same positions by
writing the name in an independent
column of the machine charged with
a roll of paper.
Parker advanced the idea that the
voter could vote for one candidate for
Superior Judge in the regular way
and then vote for the same man again
as an independent candidates.
Jordan cites sections of laws relat-
ing to elections, which apparently set
tie the points and objections raised.
Evidently from the provisions of the
statutes cited by him the name of a
candidate could not be voted in the
fndepe1,dept column if 1T anDeared on
any of the keys of the machine, thus
removing the possibility of any man
voting twice for the same candidate.

ASSERT WIDOW
HAS NO CLAIMS
Executors of Clunie's Will Say
Surviving Wife of Congress-
man Relinquished Her Rights
ANSWER HER OPPOSITION
Allege That Her Acts Dur
ing Life of Husband Operated
as a Bar to Recent Demands

E. A Bridgford and Burrill G..
White, two of the executors of the
will of the late Thomas j. Clunie, who
recently petitioned for a distribution
to them of property devised to them
by Clunie in trust for Jack" Clunie,
his adopted son. filed an answer yes
terday to Mrs. Florence CIunie's op-
position to their petition. The answer
is a general denial of Mrs. Clunie's
claim that she is entitled to one-half
of the Clunie estate on the ground
that it is community property and as
serts that she is bound by agreement
signed by her before Clunie's death.
The agreement mentioned is the
separation agreement already intro
duced in evidence in the proceedings
in the Clunie estate now pending be-
fore Judge Coffey. 1t was made in
1901 at a time when the relations be-
tween Clunie and his wife were
strained. At that time, according to
the answer of the executors Clunie
made a deed investing in himself and
his wife title to the property in Sac
ramento known as the Turclu Hotel,
with the understanding that the title,
upon the death of one or the other
was to vest in the survivor. Clunie
also agreed to make her an allowance
of 5000 a month out of his share of
the profits from this property. In re-
turn for the conveyance. the executors
allege. Mrs. Clunie waived her rights
to the rest of the estate of her hus-
band.
The executors also allege in support
of their claim that Mrs. Clunie is not
entitled to half of the miilion-dollar
estate of her husband: that in June.
1908, she requested of her husband
that he bequeath to her in his will all
interest in property (outside of the
Turclu building) on and K streets,
Sacramento, and the family residence
on Fell and Lyon streets, this citN
This was done, the executors say, and
therefore acts as an estoppal of Mrs.
Clunie's claim of half the estate.

A feature Of the programme was
the production Of a one-act fantasy
entitled "Bacchante," written by Ada

is Daraphrase of Gilbert's famous

the poetry of that gem of mythical

SEVENTH INFANTRY
RETURNS FROM PHILIPPINES
After Few Days Rest at the Presldlo
They VIII Go to Eastern
pOinfC

The Twenty-seventh Infantry, which
arrived from Manila on the transport
Logan Yesterday, will be landed at $3.50
o'clock this morning. 1t will go into
temporary encampment in the Sibley
tents at the Lombard-street entrance
to the post. The troops came home in
fine condition and in excellent health.
Major Devol went alongside with the
Slocum and brought Colonel Samuel
r. Whitall. commander of the Twenty
seventh Infantry; Brigadier General
T. ]. Wint and Brigadier General Jesse
M. Lee ashore. Colonel Whitall at
once called on General Macarthur and
General Wint and General Lee went to
the Occidental Hotel, where they will
remain for a few days.
Surgeon Frank A. Tetamore, who
was recently drowned in the Philip
pines, was well known at the Presidio.
He was a capable surgeon and made
many friends at the post.
Surgeon Benjamin ]. Edger will
leave in about ten days for the Gov
ernment Insane Hospital at Elizabeth
in charge Of a number of insane SOL
diers. During his absence his post
will probably be filled by Surgeon John
Howard Allen.
Major Charles R. Tyler, who arrived
from Manila yesterday, was at once
removed from the transport and taken
to the general hospital as he was suf-
fering from an attack of malarial
fever.
Colonel Alfred c. Girard, assistant
surgeon general, u. s. A, was among
the passengers on the Logan. 1t is
expected that Colonel Girard will sue
ceed Lieutenant Colonel George H.
Torney as chief surgeon of the De-
partment of California.
Among those who registered at
headquarters yesterday were Captain
Dwight w. Ryther, Sixth Infantry
Captain Bradner D. Slaughter, pay de-
partment, and Captain James NJ.
Moore, Twenty-seventh Infantry.
The Twenty-eighth Infantry was
paid off yesterday and later they all
donned their new uniforms in place of
the khaki uniforms they had been
shivering in.
The Tenth Infantry will be paid off
to-day, so there will be plenty of
money jingling in the soldiers pockets
by nightfall.

CONTRABAND OF WAR
SENT TO THE ORIENT
but Shippers Must Bear All the
War Risks

Ever since the outbreak of hostili-
ties between Japan and Russia Gus
toms Collector Stratton has been be-
sieged with letters from merchants of
this city with reference to the clear
ance of vessels carrying contraband of
war for Oriental ports. The Collector
said yesterday that he would continue
to clear vessels with such cargo, but
that the shipments would be at the
risk of the shippers.
1t is understood that large orders
have been received in the United
States from both Russia and Japan for
foodstuffs and clothing designed for
the use of their respective armies. On
the steamship Korea, which sailed
from this port on February 2, were
100000 pounds of canned meats and
vegetables, mostly from Chicago and
San Francisco, consigned to Vladivos-
tok, by way of Nagasaki. Should the
Japanese Government find that these
supplies are intended to be used by
the Russian army the goods may be
seized as contraband when the steamer
touches at Yokohama on February 21.
