People There, Names Were Lost.

The showing Of decrease in popu-
lation in Allen county, according to
the census returns given out by Sec
rotary Coburn. is due to an oversight
Of the local assessors. When they
took the census last spring there were
SO many people in Allen county that
they could not get all their names in
the books. So they used paper tabs
for the rest of the names, and then
lost the tabs.

age Of Kansas is getting abreast OF the

800 miles of pipeline in the state. 1t

HILL SAYS HE'S THROUGH.
No More Politics for Sage of
WoLferts BOOST.

Ex-senator David B. Hill. in an authorized in
terview in the current number OF Democracy
says that he will never attend another political
convention and that, beyond making speech or
two In a campaign. his active participation in
politics is over. This is what Mr.. Hill IS quoted
as saying:
I am out of all active participation IN politics.
and shall never again get within the magic circle
OF political influence I shall never attend an
other OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, State or national. II
I can aid my party by making speech or two
in campaign I may do so, but shall never
again do more than this.
This declaration from Mr.. Hill Is generally re-
garded as being sincere. but there are those who
believe that when the delegates gather at the
next State convention. whether it Is held In
Albany or some other city, they will instructive
ly turn TO the Sage of Wolferts Roost' for
counsel, and that important nomination viii
be made without consulting him.
Mr. Hill, until ten years ago, was poor man.
In the last decade he has amasSed a competency
and. in his advancing years. he Is sure of a
pleasant home the city Of his greatest
activities About fifteen years ago Mr.. Hill
wanted to buy the old Fritz Emmett place, known
as Wolferts Roost, between Albany and West
Troy. Edward Murphy jr., helped him to buy
it. Mr. Murphy was elected to the United States

Argue RECOUNT APPEAL.
Er-Judge Parker Maintains Court s
order Exceeded It's authority.

n the election contest before the Appellate
Division Of the Supreme Court yesterday ex-
Judge Parker said "Our opponents are trying
10 gain by stealth what they cannot accomplish
by assault Under the law the court has no
authority to order a recount OF all the ballots
This statement aroused Austen G. Fox who
replied: nThe question is whether what one
candidate gained by stealth he can keep because
the officers who stole it for him adjourned before
the theft was discovered"
These words, which caused laughter ended a
long argument between ex-Judge Parker and
Mr.. Fox over the appeal from the order of
Justice Amend to open five ballot boxes sought
b,, the LAWYERS for William r. Hearst. There
we're two appeals before the court, one by the
Hearst interests against that part of the order
which forbade throwing out void Dallots 1ound
in the boxes. and the IamnlSIly Han appeal
from the entire order. The decision was re-
served. -.
The particular box on which the contest will
he made is that used in the I'd Election District
Of the 9Th Assembly District. The Hearst men
asked that it remain sealed because they had
information that It contained thrty-one void
haIIots and under the recent order OF Justice
Amend these could not be thrown out clarence
I Shearn one of Mr.. Hearsts attorneys, Sald;
1--WE have shown that there were frauds IN the

will go on to finish. go
