No Longer Runs Blockade.

Napoleon BroWard, elected governor
of Florida last November, sworn duly
to enforce the laws Of that semi-trop-
ical commonwealth, owes some share
Of his popularity to the incongruous
fact that several years ago he was ar
IDENTIFY engaged In dodgfng and punc-
turing the laws Of the government at
Washington. As part owner and cap
tain Of the famous or infamous fili-
buster Three Friends, he eluded Uni
ted States cruisers and gunboats. offic-
ials and detectives, and fled merrily
out Of the frying pan into the fire by
running the Spanish blockade around
the island of Cuba. The government
at Havana offered large rewards for
the capture or destruction of the Three
Friends, and incidentally set glittering
prices on the heads Of Captains Napo-
leon Broward and Dynamite john
ny" O'Brien. These are stirring names
in themselves and they fitted the men
who bore them in 1895 and 1896.
Governor Broward had been sailor
and tug boat man from his youth
up. The Three Friends was built in
Jacksonville shipyard. with an eye
for the ,lawless career In which 1t
gained notoriety for itself and alreg div
idends for its owners. Captain Brow
ard was not content to stay at home
while his big ocean going tug painted
down in the Caribbean sea, crammed
up to the matches with rifles, dyna-
mite, mashetes, artillery, ammunition
and Cuban patriots. When a voyage
looked particularly hazardous he went
out with his vessel and drove 1t with
the safety valve clamped down.
While the finest kind OF reckless
bravery and resource was needed to
run the chances in this vocation, these
qualities were needed also in eluding
the vigilance of the American author
tiles, who were bound in honor to
check these violations of the neu-
trality laws as between two friendly
nations. Other filibustering shippers
went to prison-Hart and Wibork in
Philadelphia under two years sentence
es.-but Captain Broward was too
clever to be caught red-handed. The
Three Friends was often seized and
held under suspicion, but its crew was
loyal. none turned states evidence,
and the Florida filibusters were heroes
in their communities.
Now Captain Broward is the dignified
governor Of Florida and the Three
Friends plies conservative and re-
spectacle business as toWboat IN ana
out Of the ST. Johns bar.

Municipal Ownership the Issue.

Chicago, April 4. The municipal
election to be held here today will in
a large measure decide the street rail-
way question which for the past two
years has been the chief issue in all
local elections. Street railway fran
chises estimated worth $2000,0O0,000
are at stake. The question this year
has sinmered down to immediate mu-
nicipal ownership, under Judge Ed
ward F. Dunno, the democratic candi-
date or tentative arrangement with
the traction companies providing for
ultimate municipal ownership, under
John M. Harlan, the republican nomin-
ee. There are number of other i'm
portant issues to be decided, but all
have been lost sight of, owing to the
interest that has been wrought in the
main issue. Both Mr.. Harlan and
Judge Dunno have made a strenuous
campaign of the city. and last night
declared their confidence in being
elected at the polls today.
The republican managers confident
ly assert that John Maynard Harlan
will be elected mvayor by a plurality
Of 10000, while the democratic mana
gers declare that Judge Edward F.
Dunno will win by $4,000 to $4,000.
Dunne is the favorite in the bet
ting at to 8.

ELECTION A Mild
ON[ IN CHICAGO
Supporters of Both Harlan and
Dunno Make Frantic Efforts
to Get Out the Vote
REPUBLICAN, VOTING is SLOW
Democrats Claim That the Outlook in
the Morning Was Favorable to Their
candidate-Unique Methods En-
pIoyed by the Dunno Men to Arouse
Interest of Voters.

Chicago, April 4.-Election day open
northwest wind. Democratic enthu-
siam developed increased hope as the
balloting progressed The basis was
the slow voting in some republican
wards. The republicans admitted the
slow voting was against them, but
ridiculed the claims that the demo-
Gratis would carry any wards normally
republican.
Democratic and republican workers
kept UP a lively pace in the Twenty
FIRST ward, the home Of both John NJ
Harlan, republican candidate for may
or and, Mayor Harrison. The result
there was said to be decidedly In doubt.
Harrison in the last municipal election
carried the ward, but the democrats
conceded it would be hard for Dunno,
democrat, for mayor, to poll a large
vote in the ward, handicapped by Har-
Elan's residence there. In the first ward,
usually controlled by the democratic
alderman, Michael kenna. Familiarity
known as "Hinky Dink," novel meth
cd was utilized to get the lodging
house voters to the polls. Squads OF
men armed with punches of cannon
crackers were sent along the streets
and soon there was a din sufficient to
discount genuine artillery. The inmates
of lodging houses were speedily organ
lied into platoons of four and voted
as rapidly as possible. The workers,
however, seemed to be unusually eau
tious in marshaling this class Of vot-
ers. Kenna declared the colored resi-
dents and Italians who usually vote
the republican ticket. were supporting
Dunno. A bell such as is used on cat
tie an agricultural districts, was used
to arouse voters in the Twenty-sourth
ward The bell was rung in the hall
ways and when the voters appeared
they were told not to forget to vote.
A heavy vote was cast during the
morning in most of the wards. The
leaders oc beth parties continue to
claim victory. There is apparently lit
tie scratching being done.
