story Tumbles From stilts and
Members Of Family Have
Narrow Escape

with a crash that was heard many
blocks away, the house owned by j. c.
Bedford at 700 East Sixteenth street
toppled over on the house adjoining
on the west, owned by Mrs. Tomach,
yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Mrs.
Bedford, who was in the house which
collapsed, was severely injured.
The house was being raised to enable
the owner to build a story beneath It.
The rain undermined the underpin-
ming, which held the house, causing the
accident. The family of Mr.. Bedford
partially occupied the house adjoining,
but still retained some furniture in
the original home. Mrs. Bedford, at
the time of the crash, was there rum
ming the sewing machine, while her
husband was in the adjoining house.
Mrs. A. W. Bedford, sister-in-law to
Mrs. Bedford, was in the building at
the time Of the crash, but escaped with
slight bruises The injured woman was
removed to the adjoining house where
a physician was summoned. 1t was
impossible to decide whether Mrs. Bed
ford was internally injured. No bones
were broken.
Mrs. A. w. Bedford, with her hus-
band, came here from Havana, Mo-, to
attend the w. c. T. U. convention, to
which MIS-, IeulOTu WIS IL ueleBdle,
and had intended starting on their re-
turn trip tomorrow. The two families
had not seen each other for nineteen
years. Owing to the accident the Wis
itors will probably defer their return
home.
The house being raised was a five
room cottage. The family had moved
the larger part of the furniture to the
adjoining building. The cottage was
completely wrecked.
ut was thrilling experience for my
wife and myself" said Mr.. Bedford.
"At the time of the crash l was taking
a nap in the house adjoining our home.
My surprise can be imagined when the
crash came and I found my wife in
jured in the debris and my home
wrecked. We are hoping that Mrs.
Bedford is not seriously injured"

CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT IS
BEATEN IN MARYLAND
by Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, Nov. THE election
in Maryland today was for a state
comptroller Legislature and county Off
GERS, and in Baltimore for judge of
the supreme court. sheriff. city clerk
and surveyor. The issue which en-
crossed popular attention was pro-
posed constitutional amendment, the
avowed purpose of which was the dis
franchisement of the negro voters, but
which aroused widespread opposition
among many Democrats and foreign
voters in both parties. owing to the
extreme length of the ballot the count
has been slow and at late hour tonight
the votes in some of the city precincts
and remote country districts have not
been counted. The returns so far re-
ceived however, make certain the de-
feat of the proposed constitutional
amendment by a decisive majority of
20 900 or more and very probably the
election of Mccullough RO, state
comptroller, over Atkinson CD, and
the election of Republicans in three
out of four of the city legislative dis
tricts. The Republican candidates for
sheriff, city clerk and city surveyor
in Baltimore are also elected. Chief
Judge Harlan (D.) is reelected by TO-
900 ajority. The Republicans did not
nominate a candidate against Judge
Harlan, though there was an indie
pendent Republican candidate.
The political complexion of the next
legislature is uncertain and will not be
known until the official count has been
completed.

PISTOLS AND CLUBS
PLAY SOME PART IN
KENTUCKY ELECTIONS
By Associated Press.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. lone hun
dred and forty-two precincts out of
1874 in the city of Louisville give Paul
C. Barth (Dem) nominee for mayor,
10, ,337; O'Neal (Fusion), 1878. Barth's
plurality, 1854.
Indications are that the Fusionists
may elect county Judge and one
legislator in Louisville and Jefferson
county, with another legislative race
in doubt. Charges of extensive frauds
are made by the Fusionists against
the Democratic city administration,
and the Fusion managers state that a
contest may be made in the courts.
Several clashes occurred during the
day, two political workers receiving
slight pistol wounds and large num-
ber, including several prominent citi-
zens, being dubbed or arrested.
Elections were held in the state for
100 seats in the legislature. The conf
plexion of the legislature will be prac-
tically unchanged, and the Democrats
will have a good working majority
with which to choose a successor to
Senator j. C. S. Blackburn.

SHERIFF WINS
FIRST SK|RM|SH
REFUSES TO lTEMIZE BILLS
FOR SUPERVISORS
VIII A. White Declares II Is
impossible to Comply With
Order-sharp TIFF With
Alexander

The first step in what promises to
be long and hard fought bettle be-
tween Sheriff Will A. White on one
side and the board Of county supervis-
ors on the other was taken yesterday
when the sheriff. after having been re-
quested to turn in an itemzed account
of his expenses for the month of Oc-
tober, refused to do so and defed the
board to enforce its demand.
The trouble started several months
ago when the sheriff was away in the
mountains of Arizona on his vacation.
AT that time the supervisors decided
that the sheriff would henceforth be
compelled to itemlze his accounts and
would be limited to eight cents a pris-
oner a meal instead of eleven cents.
The test came yesterday when the
first report since the act was passed
was to be made.
The sheriff's report was the first to
be considered yesterday. The account
for feeding the prisoners amounted to
S76771 but there was no itemized state
ment with the bill and that precipi-
tated the trouble.
The order was passed by the super
visors for the purpose of estimating
the expense of the jail. Through Su-
pervisor Patterson, the reduction in
the food bill was made and then 1t
was decided that with an itemized ac-
count, the board would be able to de-
termine as to whether s cents would
be enough or whether further re-
duction could be made.
The members of the board looked at
one another in dismay when the alb
sencc of the sheriffs itemized state
ment was reported.
The sheriff was sent for and Super
visor Alexander asked him why he
had not complied with the order of the
board. White explained that his
monthly bills had not been received
vet and that he could not get them
until he had the money to pay them.
II move that the bill be rejected"
said the supervisor.
eff YOU reject that bill l shall re-
fuse to feed the prisoners came the
retort of the sheriff
you should tile your bills as or
dered." said Alexander
This is a personal fight of yours"
answered the sheriff. Il am sheriff OF
this county and you are only a super
visor You have said that you had 1t
in for me-"
At this stage of the proceedings the
district attorney was sent for and he
sustained the sheriff in that it was not
compulsory to file itemized accounts
with bills from the Jail.
White then left the court house. but
the fight may be renewed at the next
meeting of the board, when the Jail eX-
penses are to be considered.

INJURED METER MAN DIES
EmpIoye Hurt in Collision Between
Whittier Electric and Salt Lake
Train Expires

H. Delaney, the meter inspector
who was injured Monday night in
collision between Pacific Electric ex-
press car and a Salt Lake freight train
at the Whittier crossing, expired at an
early hour this morning at the Sisters
hospital, where he had been taken
after temporary treatment at the re-
ceiving hospital by Police Surgeon
Quint.
At the time of the accident the ex-
press car was running at a high rate
of speed and crashed into the freight
train. Motorman A. G. Guiwitz of the
express car was also badly injured. He
was hurled against the glass front of
the car and sustained several bad cuts
about the head. Delaney was thrown
through the doorway and sustained in
ternal injuries, which resulted in his
death.

FIGHT FOR PUNCH BOWL
BY Associated Press.


ST. LOUIS, Nov. William NJ. At
kinson, prominent attorney of Eliza
beth, N. j., who has been a guest at
the Planters hotel several days, left
last night for New York, whittier he
has been summoned to take up with
other counsel the disposition of the per-
sonal estate of the late Edward Gray
Abbott of Jersey City, in which a
punch bowl in the shape of a family
heirloom has become the subject Of
controversy between relatives of Brown
Bros, bankers of New York and other
wealthy residents of the metropolis.
Abbott, who was a bachelor, was re-
lated by marriage to Brown brothers.
He died about two months ago and in
behalf Of certain heirs letters of ad-
ministration were applied for by Mr.
Atkinson.
1t was found on inquiry that the de-
ceased had left only $500 In cash; the
remainder of the estate consists of Alb
bott's personal effects, an ancestral
clock and the punch bowl.
"Mr. Abbott's heirs" said Mr. Atkin-
son at the Planters on Tuesday, mum
ber about thirty and they are scattered
all over the world.
"Most of the money he left will be
betrayed by postage.
1.-The punch bowl is the only thing
of value-if, indeed, II has any intrinsic
value. But 1t has been in the family
for probably upwards of century
'When the surrogate court of Hud-
son county, which meets at Jersey city,
November /, takes up the matter the
heirlooms will be offered for sale"
Mr.. Atkinson said he had no idea
how much the punch bowl would be
sold for; that several heirs wish to get
II because of it's being a family treas
ure, and for this reason the bid may be
raised into the thousands.

INDICATIONS THAT
MAYOR JOHNSON WINS
AGAIN IN CLEVELAND

CLEVELAND, Nov. AT midnight
the returns from only ninety precincts
out of 240 in Cleveland had been re-
ported, the delay in the count being
caused by the general scratching of
ballots. In these ninety precincts Pat
tison, Democratic, for governor, had a
plurality of 1925 over Herrick, Republi-
can.
The Republican leaders concede that
with the possible exception of Alexan-
der Hansen, Republican, for probate
Judge, the Democrats have made a
clean sweep of all city and county
candidates. The Leader, Independent
Republican, says that Tom Johnson,
Democratic, for mayor, will have a
plurality of 1900.

AMERICAN FOUND DEAD
Body of Middle Aged Man Discovered
on Mediterranean Shore
of Italy
~ Associated Press.

ROME, Nov. 1.-The body of a mid
dle-aged man, supposed to be an
American, has been found on the
Mediterranean shore between Porto
d'Anzio and Nettuno twenty-five miles
from Rome. There were no signs of
violence, but the police suspect the
body was robbed after death, as they
found only two lire in silver in his
pockets, though they found a gold
watch of American make on the body.
and thus suppose that the corpse is
that of an American.
The police also found a satchel near
the body According to papers found
with the body, the deceased was
doctor named A. N. Harri (Harris?),
but up to the present time it has
been impossible TO Identify the corpse.
