BLANCHE BATES BURNS
LEGAL PAPER ON STAGE
During Play of "The Fighting
Hope" Actress inadvertently
Destroys Document

NEW YORK. Oct 22.-Blanche Bates
set fire to valuable paper at tonights
performance at the Stuyvesant of THE
Fighting Hope" by accident.
Miss Bates had just received a legal
paper concerning a settlement of prop
erty in San Francisco. inadvertently
she left this paper on the desk in the
library scene, and it was mistaken for
the letter which incriminates her con-
vict husband in the play. 1t was this
letter which Miss Bates steals from the
safe and burns.
AS the flames began to deyour the
paper the Belasco artist saw her mis-
take. 1t was too late. The plot Of
the play demands that the letter be
entirely destroyed, so it had to burn to
ashes.

VOTING MACHINES

franchise Many Voters

OAKLAND. Oct. 22.-Upon the appli-
cation of F. r. Porter. the United
States district court is to be asked TO
issue an injunction against the use OF
voting machines in the sixth precinct
of the fifth ward of Oakland. his place
of residence. Porter-h has prepared an
affidavit for submission to the court
in which he recites that he must either
He asserts that this is unconstitutional
in that to vote by machine he must
learn to operate it in advance and that
he will not do this, believing it to be.
as he asserts. "a faulty affair.""
Porter ayers that these conditions
make the use of the machine unconsti-
tutional.
County Clerk ]. P. Cook said. ',The
law provides for the use of voting ma
chimes. I do not know why Mr.. Porter
has attacked the machines. but / do
know that if an injunction were issued
no election could be held in his pre-
cinct and not less than 500 voters
would be disfranchised- So far as his
statement goes that he will not learn
to operate it. I am constrained to say
that under the Australian ballot sys-
tenn some previous knowledge is re-
quired before the voter goes into the
booth and, for that reason. the law re-
quired that sample ballots should be
sent in advance of election day to the
voters. just as the machine face is re-
produced and sent out in advance.
IF Porter's action were followed by
general movement against the ma
chimes use in this county no election
could be held at all in case an injunc-
ton was granted for there would not
be time enough in, which TO comply
with the election laws requirements as
to the use of the paper ballot. I do
not desire TO discuss the law, but am
quite sure the legality of the use of
the machines has been established"

 Saturdays league ball game with Lakeville proved somewhat of a sensa- tion. Every man played his position perfectly. The man behind the bat, "Charle" Mover proved terror to the Lakeville players who were lucky enough to reach first base. These gentleman did not venture far from the initial sack. Charlie s throw to the base, catching Manager Wilson mapping in the first inning must have convinced them that stealing was a crime and would be punished accordingly. Chnpin proved absolutely invincible as pitcher. Too much credit cannot be given him for his work. We expect to see Joe on the pitching staff of his varsity Tn due with the support given him by every man in the field. The record of the game shows how completely the Hyphen- ites outplayed their opponents. Only one member of the Lakeville team reached second base. This Is we be- lieve a record in the Housatonic Valley League and one of which our boys are justly proud.
