LIGHT VOTE ON
AMENDMENTS TO
CONSTITUTION
Large Ballots Cause a
Change in Method of vot-
ing--Boxes Open.
MAYOR BOLLSCHWE .lER
FAvORS THE CHANGES
Saloons Closed Throughout
the City, Where to Go
to Vote Today.

A light vote Is expected in this city
In the special election which is being
held throughout the state today on the
Eve proposed amendments to the con-
ptitution. The polls opened at o'clock
this morning but at 9 O'Clock in sew
eral of the districts less than dozen
ballots had been cast. The ballots are
believed to be the largest ever used in
any election here, being fourteen
inches wide and twenty inches long.
When folded they are too large to put
through the slit and as result the
boxes Should large vote be cast the
boxes would be too small to hold many
of the tickets but, as Attorney General
Wilson has given his opinion that any
kind of box may be used if necessary,
the boards are not worrying about the
matter and, If many ballots pour in,
may use soap boxes.
The tickets contain the proposed
amendments in detail, with the words
For" and against" at the top Of
each. To vote for an amendment the
word against is struck out, either
in pencil or ink, and vice versa. Bal
lots cast without either word marked
Will not be counted.
Between three and five minutes was
the average time taken by the voters
in the booths as most of them evidently
re-read the amendments
Mayor Bollschweiler voted in the first
district of the third ward at 1865
O'Clock and, when interviewed by a
NEWS reporter later, said that he had
cast his ballot for the amendments.
Saloons Closed Today.
All the saloons are closed, Chief
Burke stated at noon, and must remain
closed until the polls close for voting
at clock tonight. Besides being a
special election day today is also the
first regular registration day and cleo
iotn boards will receive registrations
until O'Clock tonight. There is ap
parently little interest being taken in
the election in this city.
The polling places are as follows:
First Ward, first district-1S0 High
street; second district-131 Madison
avenue.
Second Ward, first district-wash-
ington Hose house; second district

hard two months trip which will be
neither a picnic nor a siesta Many

Taft's friends admit the trip, in
reality, a campaign for the 1912
nomination.
The most historic incident of the
trip will be the meeting between
President Taft and President Diaz of
Mexico, at Ell Paso, Texas. Diplo-
matte students say the meeting is
not merely social, but is the result of
sensational international reasons.
No Formal Leave Taking.
There was no formality about the
presidents going. and, in fact, his de-
parture seemed like the usual after
noon automobile ride, for Mrs. Taft
accompanied her husband on the sew
enteen mile journey into Boston Mrs.
More, Mrs. Taft's sister, was also in
the party. AS soon as the president
alights at the hotel in Boston, where
he will stop overnight, Mrs. Taft and
Mrs. More will begin their return trip

main in Beverly until Nov II, when
1t is expected that the president will
arrive here to take her back to Wash
ington. Returning to Washington Nov.
10 from his western trip, the president
will leave there again the afternoon of
the 11th to attend the installation of
new president of Wesleyan university
at Middletown, Conn 1t is the plan
for the president to come direct here
from Washington, spend the morning
in Beverly and reach Middleton In the
afternoon.

trade building closed Immediately the
president left Beverly. All of the
clerks and attaches left for Washing

The Dead Hand of Prof. Fran

Across the Channel
Into England.

London, oct. 10.-The dead hand
of Prof. Francisco Ferrer today
reached from his grave in Spain
across the channel into England and
caused one of the stormiest sessions
in the house of commons that has
occurred for some time.
Bitter against Spain for her action,
in executing Ferrer, Victor Grayson,
socialist member, attempted to
move that the Spanish ambassador to
England be expelled from Great
Britain. 1he members of the house
had been warned what TO expect.
When Grayson attempted to take the
floor to put the motion he was pre-
vented from doing so by the speaker
and this action was the signal for
the beginning of the storm. Mem
bers jumped to their rect and argued
the point and the feeling became bit
ter between the. two factions. Fin
ally quiet was restored by the speak
er, who refused to allow any member
the floor who desired TO address the
house in connection with Graysons
proposed motion.
