VOTING MACHINES
ARE CROOKED.
Device Employed by Ruef
Organization Laid Bare
by Graft Investigators
EVIDENCE is AMASSED

How the Ruef organization availed
itself of advantages with the inanimate
mechanism of the voting machines used
in the last election and how it is evil
IDENTIFY planning to repeat the same
tactics the coming November has been
laid bare by Investigators identified
with the new crusade against munich
pal graft and political prestidig citation.
These investigators have just learned
that the machines used in the last cleo
tion were as indirectly crooked as a
squeeze" box in brace faro game,
or a marked deck in the fingers of a
short-card man who takes seconds"
The official instructions printed for
the ostensible purpose of explaining
how the machines are operated not
only throw all the percentage against
intelligent discrimination in voting,
but they practically turn the machines
into sure thing device for the
straight ticket, particularly for those
who comprise the backbone of the Ruef
phalanX.
Explained briefly the investigation
just completed shows that the ma
chimes as used in the last election We're
designed to discourage the split ticket.
Such a ticket to be voted according to
the instructions posted in the election
booths, involves a series of movements
that would come near puzzIing an ex-
pert switchboard operator in a tele-
phone exchange How it is done is set
forth in the instructions. but how it
should be done, according to the intent
of the inventor of the machine is care
fully ignored
That the instructions were never sent
out by the manufacturers of the ma
chimes is patent to any one having the
most superficial acquaintance with the

INSTRUCTIONS ARE CONFUSING.


INSTRUCTIONS ARE CONFUSING.
If they were not printed directly
by men to whose interest confusion in
the voting of split tickets on the ma
chimes would lay. the Investigators
identified with the crusade are firmly
convinced that the instructions were
prepared by them.
No manufacturer wishing to exploit
the advantages of a machine of this
character would think of sending out
instructions like these said one of the
Investigators yesterday in pointing out
the subterfuge at Fillmore-street
store, where the apparatus is now on
exhibition. The split ticket Indicator
on the machine is, technically speak
ing, one of it's most characteristic feat
ures The intention of the inventor of
the machine is to make the voting of
a split ticket as easy a matter as the
voting of any of the regular tickets
The indicator is simply raised, a bell
rings and the levers with the names
of the different candidates chosen are
pressed down. Then the curtain is
drawn back again and the vote is re-
corded in the regular way.
Look what one has to go through,
according to the instructions, however.
He has to first press down the knob
beside one of the party or emblem lines
on the machine. All candidates on the
line are then voted. Each one that the
voter wishes to scratch has to be
pushed back with the corresponding
lever on the line, and another lever
farther down or farther UP in the
group of names pushed forward in sub
stitutfon. When the selection is COM
plete the machine is in labyrinth Of
detail and the voter doesn't know
whether he is right or not The Sc
lection has already occupied more time
than he had any idea of spending at
the task. and he withdraws the curtain
and leaves the booth confident that he
has been up against something that
he doesn't understand. Let us try the
experiment right here"

DESIGNED TO CONFUSE.

There were a half-doZen men in
overalls, G. A r. veteran and the
driver of delivery wagon In the place
gaping at the machine. All were inter
ested in its mechanism and the in
vestigator read the instructions for
voting split ticket aloud and demon
strated the operation in detail as he
went along. Then he switched back
the curtain lever and invited the group
to try their hand at 1t. Each of them.
including the G. A. r. veteran, bungIed
the job and had to admit that it was
too complex for him.
The investigator then made use Of
the split ticket device ignored in the
instructions and asked for another try.
Every man who took hand at it went
through the operation without a mis-
take and commented upon the simplf-
city of it
Stronger proof could not be oh
tanned that these instructions are de-
signed to confuse and mislead," con-
tinued the investigator after the
test. we have lots of other evidence
that intelligent voters were unable to
vote as they wished during the last
election and left the booths in doubt
as to whom they really did lend their
support. 1t is the evident intention of
the men responsible for this deception
to employ it again in the coming cleo
ton, as the agents of the machine
whom we have interviewed say this
copy of the instructions is identical
with those In use throughout the city.
The persons responsible for the
artifice evidently believe that it
worked so well in the last election
that 1T is entitled to an encore

BEING UNDONE BY GERMANY
MOROCCAN CONFERENCE LIKE.
LY TO BE A FAILURE.
OficiaI Opinion In England Is That
Germany WOu1d Rather 9
1t Fail Than Not.

London, Feb. 23.-Oficial opinion in
Great Britain regarding the Moroccan
conference can be summed up by the
statement that 1T is now certain Ger
many desires the Algeciras conference
to break up without settling the vexed
Moroccan question"
It is commended here that not salts
fed with refusing what Great Britain
calls 'the most liberal offer" on the
part of France in respect to policing
Morocco, Germany has placed another
obstacle in the way Of a settlement by
making impossible suggestions in re-
gard to the proposed state bank. The
belief in Great Britain is that all the
efforts of German and British subjects
to create a better feeling between their
respective countries are being undone
by the German attitude at Algeciras.
In English official circles there is no
attempt to hide the discomfort at the
course of events at the conference.
The suggestion coming from Berlin
that King Edward and Emperor Will
lam will meet shortly is officially de-
MED; at least, the foreign Office Off
Gals say that they have nc cognizance
Of the rumored meeting.

CHARLES n. TURNER DEAD
He Was Formerly President of the
St. Louis e. suburban Railway
System in st. Louis.

st. Louis, Feb. 23.-Charles H. Tur-
ner, former president Of the st. Louis
& Suburban street railway system, who
turned states evidence and was a
strong witness for the prosecution in
.convicting boodlers who tried to pass
the notorious Suburban BILL" Gied
Thursday in his apartments in the
Waldorf-Astoria hotel, New York.
His st. Louis relatives were at the
bedside, having arrived in New York
Tuesday night.
Press dispatches from New York say
Mr.. Turner was taken i'll several weeks
ago, but improved steadily, and no
thought of his sickness having a fatal
termination was entertained until Mon
day, when he had a severe hemorrhage
of the stomach. From that time he
grew rapidly worse and became uncon-
scious Thursday morning.
DR.. Gibbons, who had been attending
Mr.. Turner, summoned DR.. Janaway, a
celebrated specialist, who attended the
late Charles T. Yerkes at the hotel, and
a consultation was held Wednesday.
Mr.. Turner rallied that day, but he
collapsed Thursday evening, and soon
passed away.
Charles H. Turner was best known
in st. Louis business and finance as
president of the Suburban railroad and
of the Commonwealth Trust Co.. but he
was connected prominently with many
of the city's business interests.

PATTlSON HAS PARESIS
Ohfo's Governor In No Condition to
Transact Business and Is Adj
vised to Resign.

Columbus, O., Feb. 23.-Dr. E.. J.
Wilson, physician in attendance upon
Gov. John M. Pattison, who, since his
Inauguration on January s, has been
confined to his home with an illness,
the exact nature of which has been
carefully kept secret, made the start
ling statement during habeas corpus
proceedings to effect the release Of a
DISCHARGED federal prisoner held there
on a variant from Boston, that the
governor was incapable of sustained
attert on any subject and that he
was so Weakened in body and brain
that he could not pass on the requisi-
ton sought by the Massachusetts
authorities.
The requisition was later returned
with the governors signature sprawled
across the bottom at the place his sec
rotary had designated with a pencil
mark.
A well known alienist is authority
for the statement that the governor is
afflicted with paresis. This theory has
been patent to several we'll informed
public officials for some time, dating
from the time a bill was returned to
the senate with the governors sigma
ture spread out diagonally over it's
face.
1t is persistently rumored that the
governors family and friends are try
ing to persuade him to resign and seek
re~cuperation at Hot Springs.

equaled.

Hoch stood on the scaffold like a SOL
der on parade. His last words were:
80, Lord, they know not what they do.
Forgive them; l die an innocent man,
so help me God. Goodbye"
Hoch was hanged for the murder of
Emily Welker-Hoch, n of his many
wives.
Hoch obtained a new lease of life
when his attorneys, headed by former
State Legislator Frank Conerford, ap-
piled to the United States circuit
court for a writ of habeas corpus to
save the condemned man. They ar
gued that Hoch's execution would be
in violation of the fourteenth amend
ment of the constitution, in that the
prisoner, on trial for his life, had been
compelled to testify against himself.
The court, however, denied the petition,
and the execution proceeded.
Hoch is said to have had fully 60
wives, and to have murdered IA Of them.
Owing to the illness of Sheriff Bar
rett he was not able to take personal
charge of the execution. Chief Dep
uty Peters had all of the details under
his personal supervision.

FARMERS GO ON STRIKE
Two Hundred Thousand Farme
Expected to Unite in Demanding
Equitable Prices For Produce.

Indianapolis, Ind. A strike
of the 200, 900 farmers, composing the
American Society of Equity, an organi-
cation with headquarters in I%ndianapo-
lis, has been called for March l.. Every
one who responds to this call will agree
to withhold from marketing any agri-
cultural products excepting at prices
that are UP to the level that has been
agreed as equitable by the officials Of
this organization.
This organization claims that the pro-
Queer ought to get at least one dollar
a bushel for wheat, no matter what may
be the size Of the crop. The call for
the strike sets forth a minimum selling
price on all farm products, prices which
the agricultural strikers claim they are
entitled to and can get if they stand to-
gether.
Kansas and Minnesota are being
flooded with copies of this call. 1t is
figured by the officials of the %organiza-
ton that if these states should hold out
for the higher price the movement will
prove. a success.

DAWN REFUSED TO APPEAR
Upright Phoebus" Wasn't on Hand
with the Necessary
Colors.

Business had not been good at the Thes-
plan temple of a Midland town, and vari-
GUS tradesmen were pressing the manage
ment for payment. As a last appeal to an
unappreciative public, a play For Honor
and for England" was put on. One scene
was played in semi-darkness. The hero,
sitting in a log hut, was waiting for day
break, destined to bring him delverance
from his woes or disaster.
THE dawn, at last" he exclaimed.
bright Phoebus gilds yonder mountain
peak" Bright Phoebus gilds yonder
mountain peak" he repeated in louder
tones, annoyed that the cue to turn up
the footlights had not been noticed. Still
the darkness continued. Bright Phoe-
bus gilds yonder mountain peak, | say"
he roared.
"Well, g%uv'nor," came in clear tones
from the gasman at the wings, Il reckon
you'd better git along without Phoebus.

EARLY AND LONG SPRING
That Is the Basis On Which the
Most of the Commercial BUSH
ness Is Being Predicated.
Bradstreet'S

New York. - Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
Springlike weather stimulates job
bling distribution, inducing a larger
volume of house trade and also helping
retail business in spring and summer
fabrics. Crop preparations are going
forward actively, and at the south some
actual planting has been done. Ship
ments on orders are heavier than ever
before, and no complaints of freight
congestion are heard. At practically
all points IN early and long spring sea-
son is predicted. At the same time
there is an air of conservatism as to
the more distant future, due mainly to
the larger stocks of winter goods car
ried over, and also because of the re-
cent heavy drop in "a cotton, making
buyers for next season cautious in plac-
ing orders. Like conditions are noted
in the leading industries. Iron and steel
production, while Of unprecedented vol
ume, is largely for the first half of the
years requirements, far future orders
being CT lighter volume.

The report has been SEM out from
St. Petersburg that statistics showing
Russia's imports and exports for 1905
indicate a balance, or excess of ex-
ports, of $232,464, 500, the largest
within the last five years. The bal
ance for 1904 was only $175,641 900,
and for 1903 $159,755,000. Those who
look upon a favorable trade balance
as the most convincing evidence of
prosperity will have some difficulty in
reconciling this favorable showing
with what is known of Russia's con-
dition.
