against a nest of human ants

RICHARDSON :
GAIN IN CITY

In the city the voters were better
posted on the merits of the fight
to elect Judge Richardson and de.
feat Judge Hinkle and surprising
gains for Richardson were reported
in the first city precincts that
came in this morning.
In the country the movement in
behalf of Judge Richardson lacked
the organization that worked for
him in the city, yet in face of this
he reduced the lead of Judge Hin
kle greatly as compared with the
vote on the head of the ticket. In
many country precincts Judge
Richardson failed to receive the
full democratic SUPP and this
helped to hold down his vote in
the country. In a few country
precincts Richardson did not re-
ceive over half the democratic
strength. The early returns from
the country, however, may show
up stronger for Richard when the
correct figures are in.
In the city the surprise came In
the great number of republicans
who voted for Richardson. In some
precincts, as in Alki, for instance,
the republican national ticket won
by 43, yet Richardson beat Hinkle
by so. The vote was Richardson
147. Hinkle 81. In Barth precincts
Richardson got &C while Hinkle
was held down to So.
At the courthouse this morning
it was conceded that the result
would be close and might take the
official count to determine it.

SUE FOR $1,000
ON GOSSIP

"Mrs. Morell and Mr.. Reynolds
are living together without ever
having been married, and "Mr.
Reynolds went for a trip on the
train and Mrs. Morell went for a
visit and then they came back and
pretended they were married" are
two alleged slanderous statements
which form the basis of an action
for $1,000, which is being heard to-
day in the superior court.
The plaintiffs in the case are
William Reynolds and M. Reynolds,
his wife; the defendants, Bell Par
rott and A. B. PARROT, her husband.
Mrs Bell PARROT is accused of
having uttered the offensive state
ments
Mrs. Reynolds, age 81, and Will
Ham Reynolds, whose age was
given as q, were married in Mon
tana last March. For two years
previous they had borne the rela-
ton to each other of landlady and
boarder, and as the plaintiff stated
on the witness stand she learned
that 'the whole neighborhood was
talking about them" The Rey-
nolds reside at East 1919 Crescent

Georgia Sharper has commenced
divorce proceedings against Chas.
J. Sharper on the grounds of cruel
treatment. She says the night be-
fore election he attacked her while
she lay in bed, struck her and
drove her out into the street with
very little clothing. She says she
was forced to take refuge in the
home of her sister, where the hus-
band came the next morning and
warned her not to return to their
house again.
A restraining order was issued to
keep Sharper away from the house
until the matter can be attended
to in court. The hearing has been
set for November II.

CASE
TAKEN Up
TO-DAY

The finance committee of the
city council is III session this aft
ernoon hearing the report on
shortages found by LeMastar and
Cannon. The committee discussed
politics until 2 o'clock while
awaiting the appearance of Coun-
Gilman Baldwin. Treasurer Egg
gleston's communication, explain
ing the item of interest unaccount-
ed for, was read and not comment
ed on.
The experts report was that in
terest on county warrants paid to
the city for water rent was unac-
counted for. The treasurer ex-
planned this by saying that he kept
the warrants himself and turned
the cash into the treasury to keep
the city on a cash basis. The in
terest amounted to $9S.S4. In sub
sanitation of his statement that
this was legal he referred to a
Press interview with Corporation
Counsel Hamblen stating that it
was entirely legal.
Judge Hinkle, who was asked to
be present and explain a $614
shortage in his department, did not
show up, as he is engaged in the
superior court. He is expected
later. The report is a yoluminous
statement which it will take until
suppertime to go through. Judge
Hinkle's statement had not been
reached at o'clock.

FOR
COLLINS

Says Russell +. Collins, demo-
cratic candidate for the state
legislature:
The campaign is closed. 1t is
one memorable struggle long to be
remembered in American politics.
At the present time all indications
point to the defeat Of Mr.. Bryan
and the election of Mr.. Taft. All
is not gold that glitters,' nor is
honor determined by mans cleo
ton. Notwithstanding his third
defeat for the presidency of the
United States, Mr.. Bryan stands
today head and shoulders above
every other statesman of the ma
ton. He is greater in defeat than
his opponent in victory, and those
who have accomplished his defeat
by the corruption of our election
need not believe that he is dead or
that his spirit is broken. He will
rise above each and every defeat
more great, more grand and more
glorious than before. His influence
is already being felt in our public
life and in the choice of our public
men. 1t may be that he is destined
never to become president. Never
theless his power and his in
fiuence are to be felt in shaping
the destinies of this nation.
For ~ years he has been prom
inently before the American peo-
pie, during which time every form
of calumny and abuse has been
heaped upon him, and from the
rubbish and falsehood he rises a
greater and grander man. The
kings of Wall street Tear him. They
fear him because they know they
have not money enough to corrupt
him nor power enough to in
timidate him.
There is not question but Mr.
Bryan looks deeper into the future
of America than any other man OF
his time. He realizes clearly the
crisis with which his country Is
confronted and has used every
means at his command to ward
off the impending calamity. 1t Is
poor mariner who can steer a
vessel only upon the open sea,
knowing not at what time the yes
sci may go upon the reefs. Mr..
Bryan would build for the future of
America. He appeals to the judg-
ment, to the intellect and to the
reason of his countrymen, while
his opponents build for the present,
appealing to the stomachs and the
appetites and avarice of the people
rather than to their patriotism and
judgment.
There Is no question but what
Mr.. Bryan foresees the impending
financial crisis for America and the
inevitable embarrassment of the ma
ton. Had he been elected s-esi-
