zINMAN WANTS AN INQUIRY
Mayor Will Ask that Ballot Box Fraud B,
Investigated.
MATTER PASSED UP TO COUNTY ATTORNEY
Broksn Paddock Found In n Demo-
cratic Box, but No Further
Trace of Man who Doc
tOred the Ballots.

Mayor Zimman stated Saturday morn
ing that as chairman Of the canvassing
board ne would demand an investga-
ton of the ballot box frauds by County
Attorney Slabaugh and would place the
tempered ballots and other evidence be-
fore that officer.
The talk of discovering who changed
the votes from Greenleaf and Stockham
to Elbourn and from Hennings to Broatch
and prosecuting the suspects is not so
strong as It was. Apparently no one in
particular is getting at the facts or turn
ing up anything new. Matters rest
practically where they were several days
ago. County Attorney Slabaugh is busy
and there is nothing to show any activity
on the part of his office in the matter.
A broken Yale paddock, similar to those
used TO lock the ballot boxes, was found
in one of the boxes during the demo-
cratic count The appearances are that
the staple was severed by the use of a
hammer and chisel. The box was prop
erly locked, although the other was
found broken open during the recount.
The finding of the broken lock is not
considered especially important or IL
Illuminating. The keys to every box were
tied on the handle.

Growing Abuse of the
Builders.

The city engineering department is
preparing to respond TO many complaints
of the use of sidewalk space by bust
ness men and building contractors, both
by distractions and driving teams and

ing the last several months, pedestrians
frequently have had to leave the walks and
wade around in the mud in order to pass
loading and unloading operations over the
walks. The abuse has increased TO an ex-
tent where the city has been forced to
recognize 1t and the engineering department
is now threatening prosecutions If it is con-
tnued.
The department is having trouble with
property owners who are trying to fence
in street space In front of residences.
One fragrant case was discovered and

Tragedy in Real Life Turned to a Happy
Ending Drama.

Details of n Family
Romance.

still he is my father" And with that
exclamation the young woman clasped the
man in fond embrace, wiped away few
tears from his cheeks and kissed him as she
had been wont to do years ago when they
lived together in the old home back in IL
linois. The young woman was Miss Marie
Tadlock, while the man was James X. 2.
Tadlock, once mourned dead by his
wife and daughter but who came out as
from the grave of the wide, wide world
Friday afternoon. The little scene oc-
Cured when the girl was returning from
her work with companions with whom she
was exchanging girlish condolences. The
face OF a man coming toward her sum-
moned with magical quickness memories of
other days. She Immediately recognized in
the man her father, and although choking
with emotion managed to excuse herself
from her companions Then the little scene,
part of the worlds great daily drama, took
place.
Five hours later as the theatrical pro-
gram would have it, Tadlock was arrested
by Patrolman Delehanty on the charge of
drunkenness and disorderly conduct. Tad
lock was carted to the city bastle as hun
dreds before him had been. Like many
before him have done Tadlock drowned his
grief in strong drink and then grew reck-
less.
Early Saturday morning the young
woman called at the city jail and inter
vened for her father. She told City
Prosecutor Lee her story, and even that
official, whose ears are burdened from day
to day with human plants and troubles,
would not prosecute Tadlock The police
judge discharged the prisoner.
! In short Tadlock's story was that he
! left his family in Illinois five years ago.
! The wife waited three years for him TO
return and then married again, later NOV
! ing to Omaha, where she and daughter
! prospered. Tracing the family to Omaha
Tadlock arrived here Friday afternoon and
met his daughter near her place Of en-
! ployment on Dodge street.
| When searched at the city Jail a verse
of William Challis' old poem was found in
the mans pocket The poetry had peculiar
significance in view of Tadlocks life. The
verse read:
! Within a crowded waiting room one cold
and wintry night,
l waited for the fast express upon its east
| ward flight
My thoughts took fight, as thoughts oft
| will to home, my girl and you;
| Those happy days, once gone, returned and
| passed in swift review.

TEA AND THE JAPANESE.
A True Story That Gives the Rehec-
tive Reader Food for Thought.

From Every bodys Magazine.
Japan has covenanted at our earnest re-
quest that she will not substitute certain
industries, for instance. tea export. Some
years ago she set apart an annual appro-
priation for the Japanese Japanese Tea
Guild. Subsidy Not at ALL said the jap
anese government, nothing In the way of
subsidy. 1t was merely to advertise Jap
anese teas, advertisement having been
made necessary by the serious and grow
ing competition of Ceylon and Assam teas.
1t is reported that about per cent of the
money was actually used for advertising
The rest went to pay the expenses of
branch tea houses opened in New York,
Boston Montreal Chicago and elsewhere
Why were these branch houses desired?
Because for years foreign firms, chiefly
American, had possessed the tea-exporting
trade of Japan, and the government was
determined to secure that trade for Jap
anese interests Foreign governments pro-
tested at Toxic. They wasted their time.
With that faultless politeness that is
one of the charming traits of the Japanese,
the government officials gave assurance of
their most distinguished consideration-and
renewed the appropriation. 1t lapsed while
the war was on, because Japan had need
elsewhere for all her funds; but now the
government has in hand an act that will
finish the work begun by the appropriation
and effectively put the foreign tea houses
out of business.

NO EFFORT TO RESIST
DIsREPUrABLE HOUSES WILL BE
CLOSED ON TIME.

Women who are conducting alleged dis
reputable houses on 1874 street between
the Mall and Pennsylvania avenue are pre-
pairing to comply with the orders of the
police to close the establishments Ever
since Sergt. Lee visited them last week and
gave Instructions the women have discuss
ed the matter, but none OF them. It is stat
ed, will make an effort to resist or ques-
ton the right of the police to force them
to close. One OF the women said she real
lied that her failure to comply with the
order of the police would mean that her
house would be raided and that she might
possibly land in jail.
The move has caused the residents Of
other streets in the locality in question to
become alarmed and. is stated. some OF
where. Others Il In said, have concluded
to go to other cities Capt. Williams, who
is In charge Of the first precinct, told
Star reporter this morning that there are
fifteen alleged disreputable houses on 1871
street and he did not anticipate that there
would be any serious objection offered on
the part Of the women to leaving that
street.
When Sergt. Leo called upon the women
to tell them that such establishments are
not to be permitted on 1914 street after
the expiration OF the sixty days notice
surprise was caused. The question of the
south of Pennsylvania avenue had been
discussed number of times since the
starting of the work upon the new mu-
nielpal building, but the women thought
that the entire section would be affected.
and not one street at time. 1t Is real
lied by the police however, that a whole-
sale removal or closing of the houses
would be followed by the scattering Of
the inmates of the houses and their set
Element in respectable neighborhoods.
Merely Gives Advice.
Capt. Williams stated today that it was
not his intention to give direct orders to
the women to close their houses, but
merely to advise them that unless they
stopped their business they might expect
trouble. He realized, however, that the
women would understand what was
meant and would take the hint No mat
ter what his intention was, it is asserted.
the women were told that at the expira-
ton of sixty days they will be expected
to be out of business In the 13k street
houses. The sixty days will expire about
the 18th of September.
Several local evangeists are said to be
taking advantage of the proposed clearing
out of the houses in question to induce
their inmates to lead better lives. and 1t Is
proposed that party of workers, headed
by Rev. Thomas Holmes OF Baltimore,
make a house to- house canvass of tie local.

THE BOYS HARD LOT.
Rules for Their Supervision in Colon

From the Youths Companion.
Along with other enlightenments of the
age the genus boy seems now to be better
understood and appreciated than in the
days of the colonies. The worthy advo"
Gates of the precept that children SHOULD
be seen and not heard" were apt to forget
that If young people were heard at
proper seasons they were much more apt
to be seen to advantage when occasion
required The boys of 100 were no worse
than those of today. What modern lad
could sit through two hours sermon
without the aid Of much wriggling and
sQuirming and an occasional kick or two!
Mr. w. r. Bliss in his book on colonial
meeting houses tells how the youthful
portion of the congregation was regarded
by our very great-grandfathers.
Certain laws enacted In Massachusetts
at the end of the struggle with King
Philip declared that the war was pun

of the worship of God" John Eliot, pas
tor at Roxbury, evidently thought this a
harsh charge to lay at the boys door.
for he expressed his opinion that they
had nothing to do with 1t. and that the
war was judgment on the people for
wearing wigs
In 1866 John Dawes of Boston was en-
powered to take care of all young people
that are disorderly In time of Gods
Soliem worship" and to correct the unruly

Pike was paid f16 for keeping boys in

months. When hired the second time he
doubled the price.
On Cape Cod four men were appointed
by a town to take care of the boys on the
Lords day and to whip them If necessary:
Such offices were termed inspectors OF
youth" In Duxbury, as late 1850,
committee was chosen to look after the
wretched boys on the Sabbath.
What did these colonial lads do to re-
quire such supervision? One almost
shrinks from examining into their law

depths of their iniquity.
