Chicago, ILL.,, April 3.-Reyised un.

Democrat. The entire Republican

OF Edward c. Young candidate for

Treager, Democrat The city council

jority as the old council, thlrty.six
Democrats to thirty-four Republicans.
Settles Traction Question.
The issues in the campaign were
largely based upon the improvement
OF the local traction system. Both
parties were agreed that present con-
dltlons were intolerable, but differed
as to the best method to be employed
in revising them. The Democratic
party, headed by Mayor Dunno, stood
for municipal ownership through con-
demnation of the street car properties
If the result could not be obtained
in any other way. The Republican
party favored ordinances which
recently passed by Democratic city
council over the veto Of Mayor Dunno
These ordinances provided for twenty
year franchises for the street car COM
panies, the city retaining the right to
purchase the systems for $30,000,000
plus the amount to be spent for I'M
mediate rehabilitation Of the lines, six
months notice being necessary of the
city's intention to acquire the proper
ty The ordinances also provide for
universal transfers throughout the
city, five cent fare and SIS per cent
Of the net revenue OF the companies
to be paid to the city. The fight for
and against the adoption of these or
dinances was exceedingly bitter. They
were carried by a majority Of about
10000 votes

Business Men OF Town Want Depot
Located at More Convenient
Point.

A petition signed by the business
men of Mcintosh asking for the re-
moval of the depot there to point
further south has been sent to the
general offices here of the Santa Fe
Central Railway. General Manager S.
B. Grimshaw has taken the matter un.
der advisement and will in all proba-
bility order the station changed as
requested.
The Mcintosh DEPOT is at present To-
Gated quarter of mile or more
north of the townsite which makes II
inconvenient to the travelling public.
The new site picked out for the sta.
tion is in the town proper.
Frank Dibert, assistant cashier of
the Santa Fe Central Railway Com
pany, says that Mcintosh is growing
rapidly. He is of the opinion that 1t is
but a question of short time when
station agent will have to be In
stalled there.
Mcintosh is in the center Of the
Estancia Valley and has fine farming
land all around it, said Mr. Dibert.
1T has two hotels of eighteen rooms
each which are now nearing compile
tion. There are three stores In the
town and two lumber yards A town
well was recently dug on the main
street which furnishes all abundance
of splendid soft water.
There is big demand all through
the valley for carpenters both in the
towns and the outlying districts. Car
penters are paid all the way from So

FOREIGN SUBJECTS
During War Now

America
MARINES ARE LANDED
AT Several Ports Much to
Relief of Alarmed In.
habitants.

Puerto Cortez, Honduras, March %.
Via New Orleans, April 3.--The in
tentions of the United States in land
ing marines on the Honduras coast
and the evident latitude granted them
in protecting foreign life and proper
ty is exciting much comment here 1t
has been remarked as especially sig
nificant that the American landing
parties, not only here, but at both
Ceiba and Trujillo, have in each in
stance placed Hotchkiss gun which
they took ashore with them SO as to
guard the seaward approach.
TO Prevent Bombardment.
Foreigners believe that this means
that the United States will not permit
these ports to be bombarded inasmuch
as 80 per cent of the houses here and
at Ceiba belong to foreigners. Can
non shot fired into either place would
do the most damage to foreign owned
property. Both Nicaragua and Hon
duras are treated impartially in this
respect.
Might Allow Land Attack.
Although the powers granted Com
mander Fullam of the American gun
boat Marietta which landed these
parties are believed to be sufficiently
broad to prevent a naval attack, yet
the foreigners here fear that the
Americans would not interfere to stop
landing parties from charging the
local garrisons and capturing the
ports.
Fears OF Loot DispeIIed.
The fear, however, that these can.
lures would involve the horrors of
loot has been dispeled at least for
the coast towns where, the Americans
are stationed, by the experience OF
Trujillo. There the Nicaraguan can.
tors conducted themselves in a most
exemplary manner. The reports OF
conditions at the captured interior
towns are not so satisfactory.

 wanted the game played on Thanks

 managers wanted to toss a coin and
 see just where it would be played.
 There was a lot of talk about neu-

 done on that subject As Thanksgiv- ing could not be agreed on. the dis cussiOn arose as to whether it couId
 not be played On some week day. as
 the Starlights had all Sunday dates
 filled. Naugatuck would not play on Saturday. ss it would bring their games tOO close together. A
 middle of the week game was talked
 of. but no results were reached in
 that direction. Naugatuek wanted
 the naming of officials as Waterbury
 was the challenging party. This
 Waterbury would not agree tO
 claiming that some disinteresfed
 party should choose the officials.
 One word borrowed another and
 finally Naugatu@k insisted in having the whole s1OO put up at once and not a forfeit Waterbury claimed that the forfeit was sufficient and that time could be agreed upon in which to put up the balance.
