eagerness quite new in Germany,
where elections have heretofore crea.
ted only a ripple Of interest.
Chancellor Won Buelow and the min.
listers voted early. The prince insist
ed on taking his turn in the polling
booth, and forced himself in line be.
hind a carpenter, who was manifestly
going TO vote the Socialist ticket.
There must be order" he said to
the booth officials when they sought
to shift him to the head OF the line.
The Berlin Socialists polled an ex-
traordlnary heavy vote. Undoubtedly,
every Socialist voter was brought up.
They have carried Ave of the six Der
lin divisions. In the other there will
be a second ballot Throughout the
country the Socialists have lost heav.
lily. Up to the time OF filing this dis.
patch they had lost six seats In their
strongholds OF Bremen and Breslau.
The celebrated Bernstein was defeat.
ed in Breslau. They lose four seats
in Saxony. The result causes conster.
nation among the Bebelites.

The Crime.
Suddenly the young man drew
revolver and fired two shots at Mr..
Whitley, who fell dead. Before the
assassin could be secured he turned
his weapon upon himself and inlct.

Page, the Aged Druggist, Takes
Puhis hment by Proxy.
Otto Anderson Offers H1mSei1
as Substitute Martyr.
GETS A FINE OF S219
Gatlin Drug Store Burglar1zed
by Boy Robbers.
Chas. Hines Turned Up by
Bondsman; FOrfeits S 100.

Otto Anderson, alleged part owner
of the Page drug store at 222 Kansas
avenue, has taken the heinous crime or
booze selling upon himself to save
Page, the old druggist, who was re-
Gently arrested on two counts.
Page, who is II years of age, and in
feeble health, has been seriously at
fected by his arrest and the breaking
up of his business. Anderson was ar
rested a the same time. but there was
little evidence against him. Today he
came into police court and announced
that if the police would dismiss the
charges against Page, who was sick
over worry on account of his case, he.
Anderson. would plead guilty to both
the charge against himself and the one
against Page. "a trial would kill the
old man in his present state of health. :"
said Anderson. land l want to offer
myself as a substitute"
AS the evidence against Anderson
was rather slim, Chief Eaton accepted
his proposition. Anderson paid fine
and costs amounting to $219, the
principa! cost being witness fees for
the spoilers who had filed the infOrma-
ton against Page. There was no pre-
vious understanding to the effect, and
Anderson expected to spend sixty days
in Jail, but it is understood that SEN
tence Will be suspended, and the jail
sentence nelQ over ANDERSON as a cluO.
Anderson's action in shielding the
aged druggist should entitle him to
some consideration.
Charles Hines, the druggist who was
arrested several weeks ago on a charge
of selling liquor illegally at log East
Sixth street, was brought to the police
station this morning by his bondsman,
and turned over to the officers. Hines
case was coming up at o'clock and
he put up 500 cash bond in prefer
ence to being locked up for two hours.
When o'clock arrived, Hines did not,
and at $3.50 the 500 bond was de-
clared forfeited, and an alias warrant
issued for Hines.
The police rounded up fine cluster
of "toil-notters' last evening. Those
charged with vagrancy are James
Jordan, Felix Dotson. William Will
liams, Robert King and Louis Wisdom
all colored. The police later discover
ed that King is a county Jail trusty
who was out on an errand when the
vag-hunters got him. He was turned
back to his proper sphere"
Later in the evening a negro dive
kept by Lulu Bennett was raided, and
the keeper and Leona Sheppard ar
rested.
The Gatlin Drug company was bur-
glariZed to the extent of about IS last
night, evidently by small boys. An
