TOWNSHIP
IN DOUBT

The unofficial returns received at
the county auditors Office show
that the vote in favor of the town
ship organization plan for local
government in the rural districts
has received large affirmative
vote, probably in excess of ma
jority of all votes cast, but the
question of whether it received the
required two.thirds of the total
vote remains unsettled. Some think
it has, others say that it has not.
1t may take the official count to
determine the matter definitely.
Two years ago this proposition
failed because of a lack of the
necessary two thirds. The law for
the township plan of government
was passed four years ago and sub
mitted to the people for the first
time two years ago.
In the country precincts a heavy
vote was cast for the proposition
Tuesday, and but small per cent
of the vote against it. In the city
the proposition was given vote
of about six for to one against, but
everybody did not vote on the
question, Somewhere between
three fifths and three quarters of
the total vote cast gave an express
sion on the question, but the mega
tive vote in the city may beat it.

Santaro has been living in Hill
yard. Several officers are out
there today working on the case
Italians questioned claim to know
nothing of Santaro or his affairs.
While returning from Hillyard
last night Patrolmen McCloud and
Bush saw an Italian on the street
car. He acted suspiciously and
was questioned. When searched il
was found he carried a revolver.
He is roughly dressed fellow and
may be implicated in the murder
Examination of the dead mans
body in the morgue disclosed eight
stiletto wounds in the breast, four
in the neck and nine between the
shoulders.
There are little evidences of a
struggle. The attack was evident
ly swift and well planned. The
numerous wounds indicate a an at
tack out of revenge. The police
believe there were several men in
the attack.
This afternoon the police are
farther than ever from solution
of the murder. 1t has been learned
that soon before 6 o'clock last
night a fight between three men
occurred in front of Brunos saloon
and Santaro ran to Bruno out OF
breath and asked that the trouble
be quelled. Bruno told the police
he informed Santaro that the fight
was not in the saloon and he could
not interfere, as he was in toe
much trouble already.

Detailed Statement Had
Been Forgotten
Heretofore.


on Judge Hinkle's shortage was
suddenly filed with the city clerk
by Charles Merriam, Mayor
Moores secretary. Merriam said
as he handed the report in that II
had been forgotten until this morn
ing.
The report was discovered" i'm
mediately following a visit of a
Press reporter to the mayor with
inquiry as to the report. Notwith-
standing that the only report filed
on Hinkle was a casual reference
to the shortage. nothing was
known of separate report until
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Allen, at the finance committee yes
terday stated that such a report
existed. When Ellis LeMaster, the
expert, was asked as to the report
this morning he said he had made
three copies for the city clerk,
mayor and corporation counsel. 1t
seems strange that none of them
appeared to exist until Councilman
Schiller brought the question up
yesterday. This morning two OF
them appeared, the one filed with
the clerk and one which the cor
poration counsel has in his posses
sion.
The mayors lapse of memory
this morning may be accounted for
in the fact that the general report
contained a reference to the police
court shortage only. while the rest
of the report was voluminous
thing levellng criticism principally
at the alleged lax methods in book
keeping in the treasurer's office.
The Hinkle report does not con-
tain a line of criticism as that of
the treaSurer'S report. 1t merely
states dates, pages and items
where the shortage is to be found.
1t is made plain that Judge
Hinkle had no criminal intentions,
but there is no doubt from peru
sal of the items that utmost care
lessness existed. Contrary to
statements by officials that all of
the shortages found were short
footings," there appears instances
where the cash book failed to show
entries of cash received.
The report shows that $5l6.40 in
1903 and 1904 are absolute dis
crepancies. The only discrepancy
in favor of Judge Hinkle during
those years amounts to 5000. The
report shows discrepancies prob
ably due to clerical errors amount
ing to $50, which accrued as fol-
lows: 1906, 81; 1907, SIS; 1908,
$3450.
OF the amount Of sGl4.70 which
is the total shortage charged
against Judge Hinkle. $44.50 is for
amounts which Ed Fisher. the po-
lice secretary, failed to turn over
to the police court and which when
uncovered by the experts led to
Fishers suicide.
A resume of the items for 1908
show only sac not entered In the
cash book. There were no short
foottngs during the past year but
several mistakes in figures. which
leave an amount of S3l.50 due the
city. The first error occurred
January in an account with
Leona Stafford, u notorious woman.
