Another River Fatality.

Antony Zojac, 1902 Main street NE,
was drowned in the Mississippi river
near Eleventh avenue NE, Saturday
afternoon. He and two companions
went to the river to battle. He was a
good swimmer and the trio amused
themselves by diving off the boom.
Finally Zojac dived and failed to come
to the surface. One Of his companions
thought he saw his head further down
the river, but was not certain. The
body was recovered yesterday and will
be buried tomorrow.

KESSLER TO AID
IN RESTORATION
Chief Landscape Architect of
Fair Declares No Building
Should Have Place in
Forest Park.

George E Kessler Chief Landsca pc
Architect of the Worlds Fair. returned
to st. Louis yesterday from Kansas City
to be at the next meeting of the Restora-
tion Committee. In view of the serious
consideration now being given by the Ex-
position management to the question OF
restoring Forest Park after the Fair. Mr.
Kessler's expert views on the subject have
been of interest.
Mr.. Kess.er yesterday. when asked what
in his opinion would be the best plan
upon which to work for the improvement
Of the park after the Fair. declined to dis
cuss the matter in any but a general way.
stating that to do SO would be to make
public his views as already presented to
the committee.
In a general way. he said. he favored
plan for the restored park that would
make it primarily a park with a modern
landscaping treatment At the same time
Its treatment must necessarily be such as
to join the east and west ends of the
whole park In harmonious way.
In the restored park he would have

In this category he would include the

He would have trees and plenty of them,
but not all trees and nothing else. This
treatment of the park. Mr.. Kessler thinks,
would be formal only through its tnfor-
mality. The present layout of the Expo

would require no very radical change to
conform to this general plan OF restora-
ton.
1t would require. OF course. the planting
of many trees. but not in such profusion
as was the case in the "Wilderness." The
road would necessarily have to be changed
somewhat to give the system less formal

desirable for a really pleasing effect.
Mr.. keSsler stated that until the Ques-

thinks that the river left open will prove

ing. 1t was one OF the most enthusiastic
meetings of the campaign held here. The
Democracy of Hannibal and the surround

The Governor spoke on State and ma
tional issues. He declared that it was TO
longer Poor Old Missouri but Grand
Old Missouri" and that it was the "old
mossback Democrats" who had made this
State what 1t Is.
"A mossback Democrat said the Gov

Republican Candidate for Gov

Election Law.
DOES NOT SIGN POLL BOOK.
Asks Permission to Qualify Under
Regulation for Absentees, but
Request Is Denied-His
Campaign Issue Election.

Cyrus p. Walbridge. Republican nomi-
| nee for Governor, will not be able to vote
November s. because of his failure to COM
ply with the registration law Though
he has been spending three months cam
paisnins the State. with one of his chief
issues that of elections. he finds himself
IN the predicament of being unable to vote
Tor the ticket upon which he is running
Mr. Walbridge lives in the Sixth Pre-
| cinct of the Twenty-firth Ward. where
there has never been charge of election
fraud OF any sort made. When he went
TO the polls on one of the regular regis
tratlon days. he answered all of the aues-
uons regarding his eligibility properly
That was as far as he went. He did
not sign any of the registration books but
left the polling place without touching a
pen to paper. He then started out again
on his campaign for election as Governor
and has since that time been telling Mis-
souri, audiences that the ST Louis election
law prevented a fair expression o. the
voters views.
Wednesday Mr.. Walbridge went to the
office of the Board of Election Commits
sioners. He had been told by one of the
judges of election in his precinct that he
had failed to sign the poll books. He had
apparently left the polls without knowing
that he was required TO sign the books.
while the judges of election had not in
formed him of the law.
Mr.. Walbridge asked President James
McCafrery of the Board OF Election Com
missioners if he could be permitted to
sign the poll books on the days when alb
nd vln ciol nr;p
the precinct registration were permitted
to register. Though the law says nothing
about covering up such an oversight, Mr.
Walbridge evidently thought the matter
could be remeded.
Presidenr McCaffery informed Mr.. Wal
bridge that nothing could be done for
him. To make assurances doubly sure,
Judge McCaffery called for an opinion
from City Counselor Charles W. Bates.
The latter yesterday gave an opinion af-
frming the position taken by Judge Nc
Caffery.
Since discovering that he will not be
permitted to vote next Tuesday Mr. Wal
bridge has been continuing his campaign
against the election law of st. Louis.
How he happened to forget the signature
on the poll books is one of the puzzles OF
the campaign. for there never has been a
time when st. Louis had a registration
law that the voter was not required to af-
fix his signature to the book.
One jocular explanation made yesterday
was that Mr.. Walbridge still did not de-
sire to vote against Folk. Until he be-
came candidate for the nomina ton it
was no secret. among his friends that he
was for Folk for Governor. Since he will
not be able to vote next Tuesday, his old
wish not to oppose Folk will necessarily
be granted.
