Recount Comes First.

The recount of the ballots is the
first thing to be considered. The
swearing in of a mayor is the sec
ond step and should not come before
the recount Putting the cart before
the horse and swearing in mayor
before recount has been made, VIII
only lead into complications and more
trouble.
All laws provide that an official
shall hold over until his successor mas
been duly conducted into office. IL
is therefore evident that Mayor
Strimback will preside until Charles
Off or Louis Sterne has been found to
be elected.
AS mayor cannot be sworn in
without certificate of election and
as Charles OFF has no certificate, there

The Fair and Square Way.

The fair and square way out OF all
this muddle, would be for the oppos,
tion to agree to a recount of the bal
lots. Their resistance to the propo-
sition, only makes matters more com
plicated and dangerous to the future
actions of the city council.
If all would agree this evening that
a recount should be made and per-
NIT Mayor Strimback to preside until
the matter was settled, all would be
harmony and fairness and common
sense.
No one would lose anything by this
method, excepting PERHAPS the next
mayor would lose months salary,
but outside OF that the business of the
city could go ahead without Interrupt
ton. The majority of the citizens
would welcome such an action.
This is what any fair minded per
son believes, but not so With the OPP
position to a recount. They prefer to
stave off the matter if possible, to seat
OF as mayor. and then still resist a
recount.
Some may say to conduct Off into
office and then if the recount shows
him not to be elected, let him retire.
This scheme sounds all right, but the
contention is that Off has not as yet
been elected as mayor. SO he is there
fore not entitled to take the seat until
fully entitled to it. Anything done
while he occupied the chair, If ne was
deposed later, would be Illegal But
If Strimback holds over, everything
Will go on smoothly.
There seems to be no chance though
of this plan being carried out with
the full consent of the opposition IL
may possibly be the present outcome
of the case but will only be accepted
by the opposition with protest ano
after vigorous objections.

MORE COMPLICATIONS ARISE
IN SNEAD MURDER MYSTERY.
Three Big Insurance Companies Refuse to
Honor Policies for Over $4,000 Until
Death Is Proven===PhysiCian Says
Mrs. Snead Was Apparently
Under Hypnotic Influence.

New York, Dee 3.-The three great
companies in which Mrs. Ocey Ward
law Martin Snead held life insurance
toy upwards of $4,000 announced to-
day tnat they will refuse to honor
their policies until it has been proved
that the body Of the half-starvcd
young woman found in the bath tub
of an unfinished house in East
Orange, n. j., last Monday is that of
Mrs. Snead. The policy for $4,000 on
the life of her husband, Fletcher
Snead, who is missing. is also unpaid
and no claim has been put in for the
insurance. A company agent detailed
upon the case said today:
I'VE do not believe Snead is dead.
We do not know that Mrs. Snead is
dead. 1t seems incredible that any
woman not hypnotized or drugged
could be persuaded to endure such in
genuties of mental suffering and
bodily privations as this poor girl now
in the morgue underwent. if she had
any claims on the ties of blood and
family devotion.
I'VE do know that three separate

The police today were busy with a
bundle Of papers and scattered mem

drug store and recently discovered.
They contained thousands OF words OF
compilation on insurance policies and

In addition the papers indicate that
young Mrs. Snead was the daughter
of Col. Robert NJ. Martin, who once
lived handsomely in Now York and
left her a fortune of 100000 which
has completely disappeared. His wild

will not discuss their family affairs,
The insurance companies insist, how

STRIKE-bREAKERS
In Plenty to Take Switch
mems Places, Say Roads.
Strikers Themselves Say the
Strike Has Only Begun.
Gov. Eberhart Working for an
Early Settlement.

ST. Paul, Mimi, Dec 3.-With 1900
men imported to replace the striking
sWitchmen who are members of the
SWitchmen's Union of North America
and those strikers who are members of
the Brotherhood Of Railway Trainmen
returning to work, managers of the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
Railroads asserted tonight that the
strike is about over. But nothwith-
standing the desertiOn of the trainmen
and the gradual resumption of traffic
the strike leader asserted tonight that
the strike had only begun. Freight
congestion is not appreciably relieved.
After a conference this afternoon
with President Hawley of the Switch
mems Union and f. w. Decker of the
Clearing House, Gov. Eberhart an
nouDced that a we'll defined movement
had begun to effect a settlement of the
strike
President l.. w. Hill of the Great
Northern said there could be no truth
in any talk of settlement even with in
dividual railroads, because as the gen.
cral managers had decided that they
WOULD all stand together.
Mr. Hill said that the railroads could
get enough men in the East to take
the strikers places, but they did not
want to bring them all in now, prefer
ring to give the old men a chance to re-
turn as individuals

Washington, Dec. 3.-President Eel
ava has not only refused to take Of
fetal cogniZance of Secretary Knox's
note, which was practically an ultima
tum, but he is declared to have dis
patched special agents to Washington
to endeavor to have the state depart
ment's ultimatum set aside, first by
appeals to that department and second
ly by direct appeals to members of
Congress. The state department is en-
tirely aware of the presence and iden-
tity Of these emissaries. While they
are being watched in a general way
the United States is maintaining over
them nothing that could be construed
as espionage.
In addition to this, lit was reported
today that any attempt that Zelaya
may take to escape from the country
will receive the direct and vigorous at
tentiOn of the American Warships now
lying off the coasts of Nicaragua. Sec
rotary Knox intimated in the plainest
language that the state department
looks upon Zelaya as the man respon-
sible for the torture and death of the
two Americans, Groce and Cannon.

THIRTY LIVES LOST.

London, Dec. An a terrific gale
that ragged today over the British Isles,
the steamer Thistlemor went to her
doom off Appledore in Barnstable bay,
and, it is believed tonight, her entire
crew of 30 men persisted. Four bodies
from the steamer have already been
washed ashore. The Thstlemor was
in command Of Capt Yeo and was
bound from Liverpool for an American
port.
Small vessels everywhere We're at
the mercy Of the elements and Lloyds
reports eight of them having been
driven ashore at various points. Their
crews, however, all escaped.
The British steamer Congress which
arrived at Falmouth today reports
that during the storm her captain the
mate and one seaman We're washed

seaman was picked up but the cap
tain and mate persisted.
The Thistlemor left Barry. Wales,
Thursday with cargo of coal. She
encountered the gale half way up Bid

He Not Only Refuses to Officially Notice Sec.
Knox's Note, But Sends Emssaries to Change
Uncle Sans Mind--The Dixie Will Take
Praire'S Marines Latter Still Aground.

DR.. Salvador Castrillo, the diplomatic
agent Of the provisional government of
Nicaragua and representative of the
revolutionists here, today made formal
request to Secretary Knox that he be
received on equal terms with the agents
of the Zelaya government. This, ma
turally, will be informally, as neither
the Nicaraguan representative nor DR..
Castrillo have official standing here.
While the state department has not
rendered any decision in the matter it
els generally believed that DR.. Cas-
trillo's request will be granted.
Although it is making preparations
for action this government has re-
sumed the calm that preceded the issue
of Sec Knox's note. There were no
developments in the state department
today and Sec. Knox appeared bored
when the subject of Nicaragua was
mentioned. To all appearances the de-
partment sis now marking time" I'M
til occasion arrived for further action.
It is said today that in all probable
ity the Nicaraguan consuls in this
country would not be disturbed for the
present at least, nor was it thought
qua would be required to leave that
country
No news has been received from his
government today by Senior Rodriguez,
charge d'affaires of the Nicaraguan
legation. Nothing he said, had come
to him since he informed President
Zelaya that the secretary of state had
given him his passport Senior
Rodriguez will remain in this city I'M
til he gets instructions as to his future
course.
The U. s. S. Eagle has arrived at
Bluefields. Nicaragua. according to a
dispatch received at the navy depart
ment today. This vessel is fitted out
for surveying and according to Off
Gals at the navy department hasn't
a gun aboard as big as popgun" Her
mission to Nicaraguan waters is ex-
planned as being for surveying pur-
poses alone. Although the Nicaraguan
coast is very well surveyed, it is de-
sirabe from the viewpoint of naviga-
tors, that frequent visits be made to
the coasts in order to ascertain the
location of possible distractions or Of
shifting sands. The Eagle has been
at Port Limon, Costa Rica, for several
days.

A BOLD HOLDUP.
Masked and Armed Men Take Cash
from Moncton, N. B., Store.

Moncton, n. B., Dec. S.-Three mask
ed men, all armed with revolvers en-
tered the general store OF w. r. Will
liams in the suburbs of this city at 6
o'clock this evening, held up the
proprietor and two clerks and got
away with all the money in the store,
about $50, and then made their escape
in the darkness. No clue to the rob-
