Van NEST STILL LEADS
RECOUNT OF BALLOTS IN THREE
DISTRICTS OF THIRTEENTH
WARD FAILS TO CHANGE RE-
Suits.

f Unless the ballots in the fourth and
fifth districts Of the thirteenth ward
disclose some glaring errors in, the work
Of the judges Of elections, the recount
of the ballots will not change the out
come of the aldermanic contest in that
ward: The referees appointed by the
district court opened the ballot boxes
of the first, second and third districts
today and examined and counted every
ballot.
In the first district Alderman J. H
Van Nest lost three votes, but it is
likely that three Of the four disputed
ballots will be counted for him when
the matter is taken into court. Mr.
Van Nest and his opponent, B. E. Rob
erts, each lost two votes in the second
district. Of two ballots disputed, one
is claimed by each candidate. In the
third district the official count was I'M
changed with the exception that Rob
erts ballot was disputed.
On this showing Van Nest s majority
has been reduced to Is votes, with two
small districts to hear from Even
tho the ballots claimed by Van Nest
are thrown out and those claimed by
Roberts are counted, the former will
still! have a plurality of Is votes.
Election officials in the remaining
districts are confident that no material
changes will be made.

ASKS AN INVESTIGATION
RAILROAD COMMISSION APPEALS
TO T. G. G. TO TAKE UP GRAIN
INSPECTION

The state railroad commission made
another attempt today to have the in
terstate commerce commission investi-
gate the charges made by Senator Nc
'Cumber of North Dakota against the
Minnesota grain inspection. Chairman
Mills sent message to Commissioner
Prouty in Minneapolis, with copy of
a telegram sent to Washington yester-
day. The letter then says:
'There has been more or less talk in
the senate by Senator McCumber and
Senator La Toilette in regard to the
discrimination in inspection and weigh
ing at Duluth, and if possible under
the resolution which instructed the in
terstate commerce commission to look
into this discrimination in elevator
charges, etc., you can investigate our
inspection Of grain, we would be very
glad to have you do so.
"We know in an investigation by
your commission We can remove all
doubt as to the absolute fairness of our
system and the work of our inspectors.
p "The charges made are very detri-
mental to the producers whose wheat
comes to our terminal markets., and to
the millers and other dealers in grain. -
