VOTING MACHINES
NOT IN ERROR.
Second Days Canvass of
Votes Develops Mistakes
Were Made in Recording
CONTEST IS IN SIGHT

Perhaps, after all has been said, the
voting machine is a much maiigned
device and has been made to serve as
scapegoat for the errors of clerks ofn-
ciating at the recent election. On
Monday the word was against the ma
chine ~when errors were found on the
tally sheets turned into the Regis
trar's Office and opened at the omcial
count. Yesterday the count was con-
tinued, the errors were found to be OF
no greater magnitude or frequency
than is usual at elections, and the sem
timent changed.
1t is now practically understood that
recount will be ordered and the ma
chimes counted by the court.
Yesterdays canvass showed that
Cook was deprived of 1872 votes
through errors in tallying.
Charles j. Haggerty, attorney, who
with Alexander Heynemann is oversee
ing the count in the interests OF Su-
perior Judge Hosmer, said last evening
that while he was satisfied so far as
the count had progressed that there
had been no fraud in the tallying of
votes, he felt that a contest should be
instituted to determine to what extent
the machine is to blame for the errors
in the semi returns
NO DIRECT EVIDENCE.
we have been blaming the ma
chimes for all mistakes. We really
have no reason to say anything against
the machines. We have only assumed
that they did not report correctly. 1t
is possible that the clerks in reading
from the machines may have regis
tered the wrong numbers. The tally
board of the machines is composed Of
small letters and the clerks had only
oil lamps to read by. 1t is possible
that they have erred.
In the case of errors in the Seventh
Precinct of the Thirty-third District,
where an inspector sent in blank re-
port. keeping the report he had filled
out, 1t is presumed that we should
infer that the machine did not register
at all.
But it seems to me that something
must be done to satisfy the people on
the merits of the voting machine.
When a man votes he wants to know
whether or not his vote Is counted and
the people must have full confidence
in the machines or they cannot be
used I think the maker& of the ma
chine should bear the expenses of an
Investigation"
Twenty-six precincts were canvassed
yesterday by the Board of Election
Commissioners. They included the pre-
cincts from the Fifth of the Thirty
first through the Thirty-third. At this
rate the poll will be finished by Satur-
day night.

GAIN TO JUDGE COOK.

Precinct officers from two polling
places were questioned John c.
Heenan, inspector at the First of the
Thirtieth, was examined regarding the
vote for Judge Cook. which was regis
tered as 5S on both the Republican and
Labor Union tickets. The inspector
testified that he had thought that an
indorsing bar connected the two names.
which was not the case, and when a
vote was found that agreed in number
1t was counted but once. 1t was appar-
ent that Cook is entitled to 5S addi-
tional votes, but they cannot be cred
tied to him, save on recount. e. B.
Hollinsworth, Inspector in the Fifth of
the Thirty first, testified to the effect
that Cook was entitled to 134 addi-
tional votes, of which he was deprived
through the error of the clerk similar
to that which happened in the other
districts. This added vote of 1872 would
be substantial increase for Cook in
his fight. against Cooper for Presiding
Justice of the Appellate Court.
Small discrepancies were discovered
between the official and the semi Off
cial returns, which may have been due
to errors in the machine or to clerical
mistakes. But for the most part these
errors have no effect at all on the re-
suit, for the semi official count always
recorded the highest vote

MADE BLANK RETURN.

During the day Judge Mogan, whose
interests are watched by Leon Samuels,
lost one vote. The inspectors of the
Seventh of the Thirty-third, which
polling place was located at North and
Eugenia streets. put the wrong blank
in the official returns envelope and
will have to appear today and produce
the right book or the vote of the pre-
cinct is lost. The clerk of the Eighth
of the Thirty-second District did not
credit Judge Hosmer with 81 votes,
which were marked on the semi-official
returns.
A count of the separate votes cast
in the Tenth of the Thirty-third
showed that there were 253 votes cast
for the candidates for State Controller,
while the number OF votes reported by
the clerks to have beta cast was only
249.

COURAGE OF LOWER ANIMALS 8.
Species That Are Noted for Their
Remarkable Pugnacity.

The bulldog possesses the distinc-
ton OF being one of the most fearless
OF animals. This animal has been ex-
tensively used for bull batting when
that so.called amusement was fash
ionable In older times, and hence its
name. The bulldog is a most devoted
and faithful companion. its affection
being mainly centered on one per-
son. IL the bulldog or its master is
attacked 1t will fasten on its oppo-
nent with grip which. unless killed
or called off by its master, 1t Is ex.
ceedingly difficult TO loosen or get
rid of. The pike and king cuttlefish,
among fishes, and the eagle and
gamecock among birds, would rank
as the most fearless of their respec.
tive species. The gamecock is noted
for Its pugnacity, and is never willing
to give up a contest until death has
taken one of the combatants. There
is no animal which a gamecock would
hesitate to attack on the slightest
provocation. A full-grown gorilla is
as fearless as lion, and would never
hesitate to attack the lion. African
travellers charge the lion with cow
ardice, and pronounce him to be a
pretentious humbug. He will run
away like a whipped cur under cir
cumstances in which tiger will bold
ly attack and kill.
