it has been practically determined to
install the new lamp at all first order
light stations. The light is five times
stronger than the formerly used five
wick lamp, and it burns cnly one-ffth
the amount of the oil consumed by the
old lamp. The vapor lamp has heen
very favorably commented upon by
mariners for its clear vision. From the
High Battery wall, the lamp resem-

Old familiar harbor boat The Cypress
draws 13 feet Of water and some of
the buoy and light stations have a
draft Of only nine feet and so the new
tender cannot approach these points
The department is consequently forced
to keep the Wistaria in commission
and this is done by keeping a skele-
ton or reduced crew on the old boat to
look after her so that she may be used

THINKS D. L. KELLER, WHO HAS
BEEN VISITING IN THE
DOUBTFUL STATES.

d. L. Keller returned to the city
Yesterday from visit to Ohio, Indiana,
West Virginia and other states which
are attracting considerable attention
in the political field just at present
and in which both of the h.g parties
are making a big fight to capture the
states electoral vote in November
4 In West Virginia, said MIR. Keller,
fthe democrats are sure to elect their
state ticket next month, from the gov
arnor down. The republicans are
split, there being two tickets in the
field and all efforts to bring about a
compromise have failed Not only does
the impression prevail that the demo,
Gratis will win out in the state cleo
ticn, but prominent democratic lead
ers are also sanguine that the state
will give its electoral vote to Bryan.
In Indiana the fight is waxing very
warm but the general impression
seems to prevail that the democratic
ticket is growing stronger every day
and it is admitted that the state Will
more than likely vote for Bryan and
Kern A hard fight is to be made in
that state. but sentiment seems to
favor the democratic ticket.
\ In Ohio another hard contest is
anticipated The split between For
aker and the Taft and Roosevelt forces
is having its affect and the democrats
are to make a hard fight fer that state

COUNCIL DECIDES
QUESTION TONIGHT
CITY ATTORNEY TO RENDER HIS
REPORT AS TO THOSE
ELIGIBLE.
Question of humber of Vo.es Needed
May Also Be Decided at the
Meeting to Be Held by
City Council.

City council will ma ct in regular ses-
sion tonight and a number of matters
of more than usual interest will be.
taken up Among them will be matters
pertaining to the election 10 be held
on September 26 for the ratification
iot the contract with the Mutual Light
and Water company.
There has been considerable discus.
sion and argument since the election
was called as to Just who should be
qualified to vote in the election and up
| to the present the matter has net been
settled and many of the attorneys of
the city have looked into the ques-
ton and have differed as to their con
structicn Of the law on the sub.
ject.
City Attorney F. H. Harris has been
requested BY council to submit re-
port on the question and it is under
stood that his report will be rendered
at the meeting to be held tonight and
the result of it will be awaited with
interest.
The point at issue seems to be
whether it will require a two-thirds
vote of all those who were qualified
for last years city election; whether
1T will take two thirds eff those who
actually vote, or whether. a twothirds
.of those who are actually qualified to
vote, having paid all taxes but who
were not registered. must vote for the
amendment. Various attorneys have
stated that each should be the case
and the question has become to be
quite an interesting one. The city at
torney, of course, has looked thorough.
ly into the matter. and therefore It
is expected that his report to council
tonight will settle this very important
question in connection with the elec->
ton.

CHILD MURDERS IN ENGLAND.

Committed Crimes.

Same Suspicion That Same Hand Has
Committed Crimes.
LONDON, Sept 9.-The number Of
murders Of young children recently re-
ported from different parts Of England
and the similarity Of the circumstances
in which the victims have been done
TO death has suggested the question
whether the crimes are not all the
work Of the same band-probably tina
Of some cunning hcmicidal maniac
travelling about from town to town.
Four such cases have now occurred
within the last few months in London,
liverpool, Nottingham and London,
and in each Of the four ca-es the chill
dren have been entced away on leav
ing school or while at play just after
wards. In each case the victim was
about seven years old, and in all the
hree cases whore the bodies have been
found they show marks Of the same
murderous weapon and the same bru
tal method Ct executing the tragedy.
One must 20 back to the Jack the
Ripper crimes for a parallel to the
panic caused b. these mysterious mur-
ders, and the most atrocious feature
Of them is that the victims are help
! less little school children who cannot
always be under the direct personal
care of their parents.

WOMAN'S SLAYER TRIES
TO END LIFE IN PRISON.

Mark A. Wilkins, serving {
life sentence in San Quentin
prison for one of the most atroc
ious crimes ever committed
that of numbering a woman
Verna l.. Carmin, then wrapped
the lifeless body in a porter and
burying it in trench, made
an effort at suicide Wednesday
night.
The history of the case ia
familiar to Springfield people
as the Carmin woman was the
wife of Frisco engineer Lewis
Carmin, who after Wilkins had
induced her to leave Springfield
took her to Elmhurst, q suburb
OF Oakland. Cal, and while there
killed her.
. Wilkins attempt at self. des-
truction failed to bring the
desired result, as he was pre-
vented from ending his life by
officers at the prison.
Hanging was the method
resorted to, and the prisoner
had carefully laid plans for the
deed he intended to commit.
as he used a strong pair Of peni.
tentiary suspcnders, forming a
moose about his neck, and had
them suspended from an upper
bar in his cell, leaving him dsngl-
ing in vacant space when cut
down,by attendants.
