SHERIFF SUES FOR
VOTE RECOUNT
T. III. Ross of Santa Clara
County Files Contest of
Election of A. Langford
CORRUPTION RUMORs
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SPEClAL DISPAICH To THE CALL-
SAN JOSE. Dec 22.-Shertf Frank
n Ross yesterday fled contest OF tho
election of Arthur Langford to the Of
fee of Sheriff The statement simply
asks for a recount OF votes. making no
allegations as to the legality OF the
election of Langford.
Ross was the candidate OF the Re-
publican party for the Office of Sheriff
in the recent election. He was op-
posed by Langford. son OF a former
popular Sheriff and the candidate Of
the Democratic and United Labor par
ties. Langford was elected by a plu-
rality of s12.
The adherents of Langford claimed
Immediately after the election thar
many votes were stolen from their can
didate by corrupt election boards. They
claimed that his plurality would have
been at least 1000 had 1t not been for
this alleged wrongdoing.
It is largely for the purpose of show
ing that this claim is fallacious that
the present contest has been instituted
by Sheriff Ross. Reports which have
come to Ross seem 10 Indicate that In
stead of having received more than he
should have, he in reality received less.
Sheriff Ross is of the opinion that there
may have been a sufficient number Of
votes wrongly counted TO give him the
election on a recount
Judge Welch of the Superior Court
has set January as the date for the
beginning OF the recount.

Of A STUDENT

BERKELEY, Dec. 22.-Ira Wheeler,
a university man who was graduated
last spring. returned to the campus
today from a novel trip around the
world, which began when he left here
on May % on the transport Logan.
Wheeler ran the gamut of adventure In
the East. He plans to embody his
experiences in a tale of travel for mag
azine use.
Wheeler was a brilliant student In
the college of commerce.. and when
he graduated last spring was offered
a good place with commercial firm
which annually takes the brightest
youth from that department. Wheeler
preferred adventure to commercial ad-
vantage and commenced his unique
tour of the world.
He was a waiter on the Logan, but
entered the Government service when
the boat reached Manila. He received
$50 month in the auditing depart
ment, and stayed in Manila ninety days.
After that he visited Chinese ports.
finally taking passage on transport
bound for New York via the Suez
canal. Wheeler touched at Constanti-
NOBLE, Ceylon and many other ports,
the voyage being a leisurely affair
An unusual adventure befell Wheeler
while he was exploring the pyramids
in Egypt with party from the ship.
Wheeler became separated from the
guide and in the darkness of the pyra-
mid's interior slid from the path down
a cavern thirty feet deep. His cries
brought the guide back and Wheeler
was rescued His escape from death
was deemed almost miraculous. Ar
rived in New York, Wheeler came by
rail to Berkeley, and now is at the
Bachelorden Club. on the campus, of
which he is a member.

Early on the morning of December
20 he leaped from the second story
lol the clearinghouse where he had
been staying. but apparently without
sonering any injury beyond the lacer-
alton OF his left leg. AT the Receiv-
ing Hospital he talked incoherentIy

stepping through some thin ice, He
was removed TO the County Hospital
FOR more than a year Elliott, who
has passed the age of three score years
lano ten, supported himself meagerly
iny selling cheap perfumes on the
streets OF Los Angeles. His first jour
lnalistic position was on the New York
tribune, which for a long time his
natural radicalism served well in at
ltacks on the iniquities of the Tweed
rang, but he finally passed beyond the
POUNDS set by the policy Of that pa
per.
One day, according TO Elliotts story,
Horace Greeley said TO him, Tom, you
are using up a great many columns Of
my paper with stuff I don't want to
publish. Why don't you start a paper
OF your own?"
Iaking the suggestion. which really
was nothing more than one of the
great journalists flashes Of temper

tribune and went TO Boston. where he

Coming to Los Angeles, he offered

and alleging frauds on several counts,
Attorney Milton K. Young, one of the

Young alleges that the old soldiers
have no right to vote. He contends
that the State gave up all hold on the

ing anything to say in the management
of California affairs as though they
