CONTEST ELECTION
IN SECOND WARD
WILL ASK THE COURT FOR A
RECOUNT
Non-Partisans Assured That lnvesti-
gatIor Of Only Two Precincts
Will Show Election Of
Van Degrft

Sufficient evidence Of miscounting' II
not actual fraud, has been secured by
the non-partisan organization to JUS
tify demand for an official count of
the ballots cast in the Second ward in
the recent city election. The court Will
be appealed to for a recount this week.
AS a result of the count under the
supervision of the superior court 1t is
confidently claimed by members of the
non-partisan city committee that A.
s. Van Degrift will be declared elected
and that f.. A. Clampitt, the Republic
can nominee, who. on the face of the
returns, was chosen councilman from
the Second ward, will be ousted.
Clampitt's plurality is only Ga votes,
and It is claimed that the recount in
not more than two precincts will more
than overcome these figures and that
the recount in four suspected precincts
will make Van Degrift at least 100 to
the good.
Rumors continue to be circulated as
to the alleged methods employed by
certain election judges and clerks in
the interest of Clampitt, and If half
of these rumors prove true 1t is said
that certain people will be called upon
by the district attorney for an explana-
tion, which, If unsatisfactory promises
to result in prosecutions on the charge

With a courage born of the 500 miles

The local seer conscious of his close
proximity to danger, hesltates to pro-

the northern prophet, viewing the sit

whereas the local sage, intimidated by
the scowls of Angelenos, hesitates to
speak the words of encouragement.
A storm is brewing on the northern

throughout the west is causing rains
in the northern states east of the Mis-

NEW HAT SAVES HIS LIFE

stiff derby hat saved John Flaherty
from what would probably have been
instant death yesterday morning, when
brick fell from the fourth story OF
the new building at First and Will
mington streets, striking him on the
head.
AS it was, a large scalp wound was
made in his head, and it was necessary
to take him to the receiving hospital
for treatment. Flaherty is a laborer
and lives at 756 San Julian street. Yes
terday morning he purchased a new
derby hat. He then went out to visit
a friend some distance from where the
accident occurred. While walking by
the building the brick fell. 1t struck
the hat, which was exceptionally stiff,
and its force was broken. Flaherty
was able to leave the hospital for his
home a few hours later

But She Didn't
The subway train left city hall with
every car packed to the doors. One Of
the seated passengers was young man
wearing high silk hat and clothes of
the latest style. At Fourteenth street a
fashionably dressed woman squeezed
her way into the car and stood in front
of the young man. He promptly arose
and offered his seat to the woman, who
in her anxiety to get it nearly knocked
off the young mans hat and trod on his
pet corn. But not a word did she say
AS the train slowed down at the next
station the young man leaned over "I
beg your pardon, madam; did you
speak to me?" he asked. The woman
raised her eyes from her novel and gave
him blank stare. "Oh," said the
young man, apologetically, "I thought

Story Of Horse Car
There is an old horse car track which
extends along the south and west sides
of Washington square, connecting West
Broadway with Sixth avenue. No reg
ular traffic has gone over the tracks
for years, but they are kept in the
street presumably to hold the old fran
chise. About once in three months a
car Is sent up from the barns and is
driven over the whole length of the
tracks. The switches have long been
out of use and in some places the
branches do not come within twenty
feet Of the main line. So, while one
man drives the car another in motor
mans uniform runs along by the side
with an iron bar in his hand and
switches the car on and off the main
track, so that is may traverse all the
branches of the line.

What Ails New York?
Say. what is the matter with New

yesterday. 1.-THE town seems to be SUI

digestion. or it has Pittsburg on the
brain. have been to several shows
here during the last week and at six of
them they had jokes on Pittsburg. The
seventh one being written by French
man and the scene laid In France, it is
therefore evident that Pittsburg, as
joke center. has not yet reached the
other side of the pond. OF course my
New York friends who were with me on
each occasion derived much amusement
out of each different joke, and last
night, after the following was handed
out by one actor to another II you
don't behave yourself you will be sent
back to Pittsburg, where the scandals
come FROM, one of them remarked to
me: Say, Pittsburg must be an awful
place; to which replied that is was
for Smoke A few mornings ago there
were four of us, all from PittSburg, taxi
ing breakfast at one of the well known
restaurants on Broadway, and during
our conversation the lady in the crowd
happened to speak of Pittsburg as
home, and before many moments all
eyes in the cafe were focused upon us.
Whether the people at the other tables
expected us to do some alleged million
aire stunt / don't know, but 1t looked
very much that way. Surely Pittsburg
is the sensation of New York"
Men So Unobserving
"That blooming Britisher over there
in the corner Is the fourth man that has
got me mixed up with his own waiter
this morning." said an angry attendant
in an uptown restaurant the other day.
"What is the matter with all men who
eat in restaurants, anyhow? Haven't
they got eyes2 Don't they know how to
use 'em? Why don't they take notice
of the fellow that takes their order in
the first place? But that is just what
nine men out of ten don't do. All wait
ers look alike to them. Women are a
lot better at remembering the faces OF
walters than men. At noontime we
have enough women lunchers to keep
us jumping lively for two or three
hours, but during all the confusion you
seldom see the woman summon the
wrong waiter. 1t is too bad that men
are not equally observing"

station or to the ferryboats to take
trains, but then l noticed them in parts
of the town where they could not pos
sibly be making for railroad station
since they were going in the wrong
directions. Now l have learned who
these women are. Most of them are
trained nurses. When they leave the
hospitals or their homes to attend a
case they pack their uniforms and
other necessaries in these suit cases,
which they carry with them. So when
you see a young woman carrying a
suit case and bound in a direction
away from boat or railroad station
it's very likely she's a trained nurse
and is either starting out to attend
a case or is returning from one"
Society's Got Crouch
Introductory letters to society lead
ers of New York no longer serve as
"butt-in" cards. The man or woman
who has a fine line of ancestors as
long as the pedigree of a star racing
horse can no longer thaw the icicles
that fortify the portals of the so-called
400 with a commendatory letter from
Leomo LemonVich or anybody else
for that matter. Society's new fad is
to be glum and cross. Therefore, this
lack of consideration for the letter of
introduction. This absurd affectation
which has been added to the already
large assortment of social leaders has
started small feuds between several
families. If the new caprice becomes
a permanency there is a likelihood
that titles may soon be bought by the
girls at bleacher or remnant prices.

THE EXPERIENCE OF A
LADY.

Before you mail another post
office or express money order to
build up firm IN Chicago at the
expense of home dealers, think of
these things and give your local
merchant chance, says an Ex-
change.
We could quote numerous in
stances where people actually lost
money as we'll as in quality in
trading with these outside depart
ment stores. A lady recently sent
to one of the department stores for
pair of shoes, sending $I.6o with
the order. When the shoes came
there were express charges o IS
cents, which she paid. After tax.
ing the shoee home she found they
did not fit, so she repacked them
and sent them back by express the
charges being 50 cents, which she
paid.
After few days a different pair
Of shoes came back to her Dv ex-
press, the charges being s. cents,
which she paid. She took the
shoes home and found to her dis
may. that they did not fit either.
She had now paid out for the shoes
s. IL, and did not feel Olike going
to the expense Of returning them
a second time.
The next time she came to town
she showed the shoes to the dealer.
I add to her disgust the local
d 'aler showed her shoes that were
e lual, if not superior. to the air
she had paid the mail order no, Sc
SI.69 for, which he h; d been selling
right along for S. s. 1t is safe to
say hereafter she will do her trad
ing at home. This is only one in
stance of multitudes. We hear
little Of them because in dealing
with outside concerns there is gen.
orally not much chance to get JUS
tice when you buy.
