NATIONALISTS IN LEAD
Advocates of Immediate Independence
Win in Philippines.

Manila. July 31.-The general assem-
bly, election in the Philippines was a
quiet affair. The full results will not
be known for about three weeks. The
early returns seem to indicate that the
Nationalists, the party demanding i'm
mediate independence, as opposed to
the Progressists, the party satisfied
with American rule, have won. Incom-
plete returns from the provinces give
these results: Thirty-one Nationalists,
ten Progressists, eight Independents
and one Catholic. All. the provinces of
which there are so, had candidates ex-
ceptirg Benguet, Lepauto. Bontoc,
Nueva Viscago and the provinces of
Moroland.
Before the election it was the general
belief that the Progressists were the
best organized. They had only one
candidate to each district, whereas the
Nationalists had two candidates in sew
eral of the districts. The platform of
the latter demands immediate indie
pendence and the reduction of the sal
aries of American officers. The Pro-
gressists advocate good roads, readjust-
ment of the tariff, wider public educa-
ton and the enforcement of sanitary
laws. Many conservatives and repre-
sentative merchants did not vote as
they were satisfied with the present
administration.

With IRREGULARITIES.

Kansas City, Mo-. July S1.-There
was a sensational turn here today in
the police investigation, when Chief
John Hayes, whom Governor Folk re-
Gently charged with Irregularities, was
ordered to appear before the board of
police commissioners and answer
charges of alleged corruption. The
hearing will be held this evening.
AS a result of the hearing, it is
stated, Chief Hayes will be dismissed.
Senior Captain John Branham prob
ably will be named as acting chief un-
til some other man can be definitely
determined upon for that position.
Hayes has been chief for ten years.
The charges against Chief Hayes will
involve his son, lawyer, whom he Is
alleged to have aided in a police court
case. The case was that of man ar
rested for criminal assault. Young
Hayes was retained by the prisoner as
attorney. One of the principal wit
nesses against the prisoner was po-
lice officer, whom it is alleged Chief
Hayes sent out of town to prevent his
testifving at the trial. AS a result of
this act young Hayes, it will be
charged, gained his suit and the de-
fendant was discharged. Chief Hayes

MAYOR USES HIS VETO
Vacation Near Santa Fe Shops Would
Coop Up Families.

| Mayor Green after investigating
conditions refused today to sign an
ordinance vacating triangular strip
| in FenskY street near the new Santa
several families who have built resi-
dences in that locality and make it i'm
possible for them to get in and out
without considerable difficulty, declares
the mayor.
For this reason he Will ask the
council to reconsider action on the
ordinance and have it redrawn.
The triangular strip did not call for
the entire vacation of the street, but
left a small piece of land 14.3 feet in
width for traverse but with the side
walk width deducted from this there
was not enough of the street left to
permit buggies and wagons from get
ting in and out.
The members of the council were
under the impression that the width
of the strip to be left would be 246
feet and acted upon that understand
ing.
The Santa Fe railroad whose right
of way abuts on Fensky street made
the request to the council for the va
cation of the strip of land in order
that they might construct a switch and
erect a board fence enclosing the right
of way. The mayor in a conference
with the railroad representatives in
structed them to alter the plans for
the additional track in order to make
it possible to leave ample width for
the ingreSs and egreSs of people driv-
ing.
The streets and walks committee of
the council visited Auburndale this
morning and viewed the ground where
| 1t is proposed to open Grove avenue.
TITS going to be costly il it's DONE"
said Councilman Tandy. ''The water
| from good distance all around there
is drained right across the street and
a bridge will have to be constructed
! if it is opened A six foot culvert
would not last through one good
heavy rain. The water coming through
would tear " all the earth around the
culvert and pile it up. The city would
have to send force of men out and
shovel the dirt all back into place. A
bridge would have to be built.
The committee also visited Smith
street. A benefit district is now pend
ing asking for the opening of the
street between Sixth avenue and Sew
enth street. Objection has been made
to the extent of the benefit district Par
ties residing in that district claim that
they are being taxed for something that
will not result in any benefit to them.
For this reason they are opposing the
report of the assessors. The mayor is
inclined to side with the protesting
property owners.
