The result of the voting should be known
shortly after o'clock Tuesday evening.
This is the judgment of the experts in
charge Of the machines and who have in
structed the judges and clerks in their du-
ties. Said one of the custodians:
IAN average set of judges ought to be
able TO make very quick work of taking of
the record when the polls close. While il
was somewhat difficult to make some OF
the election officers understand the opera
ton OF the machines the great majority of
them have a good knowledge of what is to
be done and can do It quickly and cor
rectly."

A PRONOUNCED EFFECT
LEGAL STATUS OF WOMAN IN
THE CASE HAS BEEN THE
PARAMOUNT ISSUE.
HUMMEL IS MADE HAPPY
At Turn of Events In His Trial for
Conspiracy in the Celebrated
Divorce Case Which Is
Now Going On.

New York, Dec 17.--"She is m
wife"
In these four words Charles w
Morse, Saturday solved for himself. a
least. the mystery which studied
silence and myraid legal tangIes hav'
for five years thrown about th'
famous Dodge-Morse case
Under oath in court, In the trial o
Abe Hummel, the president of the Ice
trust, owner of big sctring of banks
promoter and millionaire, Charles w
Morse proclaimed his belief that Mrs
Clemens Dodge Morse Is his legal wife
Almost in the same breath he avowed
to defend her name and fame against
the imputations of James Morse. the
Uncle Jim" of the romance, when
did tou marry your second wife?''
Mr. Morse was asked
In June, 1901"
And you are still married to hero
Yes. sir: | am.
And then later ii was brought out
that Uncle Jim had said TO District
Attorney Jerome in the presence of
Mrs. Morse that Mrs. Dodge's divorce
was not proper one.
"He was about the only man on
earth" nterjected Counselor Stanch-
field, for Hummel, sin whose presence
you wvuil nave permitted that to be
saiat
Il would not permit it second time
In his presence" cried Mr.. Morse in a
ringing voice.
A Pronounced Effort.
The effort of Mr. Morses avowal
was pronounced. Since the beginning
of the Morse-Dodge scandal the legal
status of the woman in the case has
been the one paramount issue about
which the whole world of society and
fnanace has wondered.
Was she Mrs. Dodge Mrs. Morse. or
had the manifold twists which a score
of lawyers gave to the proceedings
deprived her of the right to both
names and left her the plain Miss
Ciomence Cowles that she was before
she embarked upon the tempestuous
sea of marrimony?
The lawyers have not decided the
question yet But. called as a witness
in the Hummel trial today, Mr. Morse,
the one most directly concerned after
the woman herself plunged straight
through the mass of tangles and ar
rived AT this definite goal:
she is my wife"
OF course the trial of Abe Hummel
will proceed for the fact that Charles
w Morse acknowledges Mrs Dodge
Morse as his wife does not at all affect
the charge that Hummel conspred
with Uncle Jim" and Charles w.
Dodge 10 set aside the Dodge divorce
and bring about just that situat on
which Mr.. Morse today avowed and
failed 10 accomplish. All the same.

day redounded TO the credit of the ac.
cused lawyer. who left court at the

A new form of postcard originating
in France is one to which is attached
a thin, transparent gelatine disk
which bears gramophone musical re-
cord. A hole is pierced through the
center of the disk, and the postcard
can be placed on an ordinary talking
machine and played in the usual way.
The musical postcard opens up an
entirely new field for the craze. Pho
graphs of great singers and composers
will be accompanied by extracts from
their works, pictures of national flags
by the anthems of the different coun-
tries, and so on in endless variety.
Canbdates for political honors, instead
of sending merely their photographs to
constituents, will be able tc accom-
pany them with the Photographic re-
c,rds of an election address. The ad-
ditional cost. as compared with ordin-
ary cards, is very sight, The disk, be-
ing perfectly transparent, does not in
any way interfere With the picture be-
meath. As novel advertising medium
the new cards are certain to be popu-
lar. French champagne firms are al
ready having pictorial cards printed
which will literally sing of their
wares.
