New Charter
Sure to Be
Adopted

It looks like big victory for
the new charter, but the total
vote cast will be small.
At noon there were only about
400 votes cast in the city, but,
according to the men at the poll
ing places, most of these were for
the charter.
The opposition apparently did
not materialize, and unless there
is a rush this afternoon of ene-
mics of the new charter 1t will
carry safely.
Some of the politicians this
morning were declaring 1t was
going to be close, however, and
1t will be up to the charter advo-
Gates to hustle out their full
strength this evening to offset
any movement of the opposition.
The Third, Fourth and Fifth
wards were counted on by the
opponents of the new charter to
give majorities against 1t. UP to
noon there was no indication that
they would do 1t.
In the Fourth ward at the
twelfth precinct there had been
but 1S votes cast at noon.
'"They are about to 1 for it,
was the report from there.
In the Fifth ward at the engine
house precinct there were 10 votes
cast up to noon, and practically all
were said to be for 1t.
When Commissioner McGregor
voted in the second of the Eighth
this morning at $3.50 O'Clock
there were IA votes there, and no
one knew Of any against It. This
voted indicated that the Eighth
ward was going to get out pretty
good vote.
There were "a votes reported iu
the fourth of the First ward at
noon, and they were practically
all for the charter.
All over the city reports were
that the vote was small, but that
Il was all for the charter at noon.
So little interest was taken in
the matter in the Fourth ward
that the judges did not even open
The polls until after noon. The
DOLL bog and ballots were still at
the city clerks office at noon
Deputy Clerk Cushman tried to
get someone to open tho voting.
and declared he would take the
box down himself for the after
noon and try to organise the cleo
tion machinery.
A rush OF voters is expects d
from O'Clock until 8 this even-
ing, when the polls close. Labor
ing men win be out then, AMI
business men win vote on their
way home.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, Oct. 16.
Politicians are in a fever over
a dramatic incident at the BAN
quet given by the business men
of Albuquerque to President Taft
when the latter shook his fist in
the face Of former Attorney Gen.
eral A. B. Fall and told him in
polite language that he falsified
when he said the republican ma
tional convention at Chicago had
been forced to make a bargain
with New Mexico to escape the
dangers of Gompers' anarchistic
platform"
Judge Fall, at the conclusion of
statehood speech, intimated
that Taft might not fulfill his
promise because the territory
had received so many promises of
like kind in the past and had al
ways been deceived.
There was never any chance of
the passage of what Mr.. Gompers
requested of the republican con-
vention," exclaimed Mr.. Taft.
THE resolution that I wanted
was defeated, and a milder one
put in. That is history. and !

SAN BERNARiDINO, Cal, Oct.
16.-BiIly Boy, the Piute Indian
murderer, is dead. With his only
remaining cartridge he sent a bull
let crashing into his heart, and
fell lifeless in the granite fortress
where he made his last desperate
stand against Sheriff Ralphs' posse
last week.
The Indians body was cremat-
ed on a hastily constructed funer-
al pyre, made by the officers who
had run him to his death on the
sands of the great Colorado des-
ert, the home of his forefathers.
Early yesterday the combined
pesses under sheriff Ralphs arriv-
ed at the murderer's lair, and
found his lifeless body. 1t was
badly decomposed. He apparent
ly had been dead nearly a week.
Billie Boy, because he was re-
fused permission by Mike Boni-
face of Banning, to see the latter's
little 14-year-old daughter, shot
and killed the father and carried
the girl, Mary Nita Boniface, into
into the mountainous desert re-
gions of the country, where, when
she was completely exhausted, he
killed her and made his escape.
He repulsed on attempt of a
sheriff's posse to capture him,
killing three of the horses of the
pursuers, and injured one deputy
sheriff.

business, visited the local theater and
patronized that part Of the house
known as 1.-The GODS" obtaining a seat
in the front row. He had provided
himself with refreshments before en-
tering In the form Of bag Of cakes
and a bottle of mineral water.
As the performance progressed he
consumed these and, becoming abb
sorbed in a thrilling passage, was alb
sently toying with the empty bottle on
the ledge in front Of him when he ac-
cidentally allowed it to fall over.
Horror stricken. he instantly looked
down and was just in time to see the
bottle drop heavily on to the bald head
Of a man below, who, not noticing
whence the attack came, jumped to
the conclusion that his neighbor was
the aggressor. He seized the bottle
and hit the other man smartly across
the head with It.
Our friend above had now seen
enough and hastily but quickly quilted
the place, observing when he reached
the exit two angry. struggling men
being ejected.-London Tit-Bits.
