or the votes cast Mcclellan was
given 321, Hearst n and WINS 81.
Under the revised count Mcclellan
gets 81 and Hearst go.
Thus, with three boxes completed,
Mr.. Hearst has gained so votes. At
this rate his plurality under a fair
count must run far up in the thou
sands. The frauds practiced have
astounded the most hardened election
experts attending the count.
Hearst had gained 81 votes and had
reduced McClellan's plurality by that
amount at the close OF yesterday,
when the contents Of two ballot boxes
had been recounted in the mayoralty
vote OF 1905. before Justice Lambert.
Figuring an average gain for Hearst
OF n votes In two boxes. the Hearst
adherents had 1t that instead OF plu.
rality Of 3.474 for Mcclellan. the final
result would be plurality of 22.s24
for Hearst.
There are 1.948 ballot boxes OF that
election, and they contain some 600,-
600 votes In all. An average gain of
two votes per box for Hearst would,
as a matter OF fact. be sufficient to
upset the election returns and seat

GRASS GROWS FASTER
THAN MOWERS CAN CUTIT

II Park Commissioner Breitmeyer
and Superintendent Busch were given
to song. they would probably MARBLE
that ancient ballad anent the green
grass which grew all around.
The grass Is growing for fair on the
boulevards and parks OF the city this
spring. AS nearly as Breitmeyer can
figure without watching any particular
spear OF greenery. II is showing up at
the rate Of six inches per week.
And the mowermen are getting
paresis from overwork. They cut grass
all day and they hear the whir OF the
moving machine in their dreams, but
they cannot catch up to the growth of
the beautiful natural carpet along that
interminable boulevard.
Combination OF spring rain and
summer sunshine has done wonders
with vegetation. The park men say
they are going to cut the gosh darned
grass and keep it cut, though, II they
have TO stay up nights to do II.

Gets DIVORCE BUT
LOSES ALL HIS
- PROPERTY
OLD MAN WHO GAVE WIFE DEEDS
FEARING ACCIDENT, FINDS
SELF PENNILEss AND Es-
TRANGED FROM FAMILY.

AS the result Of q decision handed
down by the supreme court Wednes.
day, Charles Wipfler finds himself at
the age OF almost 70 years, divorced
from his wife, estranged from his fam
lily, and turned out Of his home almost
penniless.
! Until three years ago, Wipfler, who
Is veteran Of the civil war and a
member Of the G. A. R.. was a pros
porous business man, and proprietor
OF the Detroit Pattern works. Several
years ago he organized a company,
with his wife and sons as sharehold-
ers, and the business was q success.
About that time Wipfer decided to at
tend the national encampment OF the
G. A. R., and fearing that something
might happen, he had deeds to his
real estate made out. which he left
with his wife with instructions to
have them recorded In case he should
meet with an accident while absent.
Shortly after his return he learned
that his wife had the deeds recorded
In his absence, and that the other
members OF the family had frozen
him out OF the pattern business. He
immediately began suit for divorce nl-
leging cruelty, and asking that tho
deeds to his property be set aside
The case was heard by Judge Brooke,
who found for the husband. The wife
carried the case TO the supreme court,
which allows the husband the divorce,
but holds there is no authority COM
pelling the wife to return the real es-
tate, and reverses Judge Brooke on
that point. Mrs. Wipfier Is severely
scored In the decision.
The equities are undoubtedly with
the complainant" the decision reads,
"and II the rules OF law would permit
We should unhesitatingly grant the re-
lief prayed, but we are unable to find
such authority. The amount at stake
includes the earnings of a lifetime.
and the insistence OF the wife for her
legal rights Is unconscionable."
The attitude OF the wife was shown
at the divorce trial, when Judge
Brooke asked her the question:
Madam, do you think II right that
you should have every cents worth OF
your husbands property, and turn him
out In his old age to 60 to the poor
houses"
Yes, do" she answered.

CHICAGO. May 28.-J. Ogden Ar.
mour today showed May wheat up TO

ended a spectacular day In the pit by

TO price In excess OF its worth. They
prepared today TO default on their
deals, have the whole matter thrown
before the board of trade for adjust
ment, or make Armour take the mat
ter before the court In settlement Of
claims.
The indignation that boiled through
the excited pit came when It was found
that wheat could not be bought at
anything less than Armour's price,
that he refused to make private set
Elements and that he was planning to
crowd the market even higher.
May corn, in which Patten has q
corner and which he Is trying to keep
under control, closed at 80 ga today.
Patten, however, was attempting to
keep the price from reaching too high
a figure and was making adjustments
with all who wished. In direct con-
trast, the Armour house refused to
take any grain that was not bought

The showing made by the Detroit
postmaster Is a most fiattering one
in the light OF the fact, already stated
that those who requested a choice fol

that he meets the requirements OF the
