ON THE WRONG TICKET
Heney Wanted Republican Nomination
and Democrats Put Him on
Ticket

San Francisco, Aug. 20.-Francis j.
Heney was nominated for district at
torney On the Democratic ticket at
Tuesdays primary by the narrow
margin Of 124 votes. The Democrats
put no candidates in the field for this
Office so that voters had to write IN
the names of candidates.
Charles Fickert, the regular Repub-
lican candidate, secured 1880 Demo
cratic votes, against 1884 for Heney.
On the Republican ticket Fickert's
name was printed on the ballot, while
Heney's friends had to write his name.
On the ticket the vote was 1853,
Heney 1864.
The same two names figured also
on the Union Labor ticket, the vote
being Fickert, 1856; Heney, 684.
The Heney total vote is 1896;
Fickert, 17,004. Heney thus becomes
the regular Democratic candidate for
district attorney, although he an
nounced his allegiance to the Repub-
lican party some years ago.
1t is not by any means certain that
Heney will make the race. He took no
part in the primary. except to an
nounce that he would accept the Re
publican nomination. No statement
has been received from him since the
result was known.

SIMPLE: LIFE:
is HIS CHOICE
HUGHES TakEs HIS sTEnoe-
RAPHER AND GOES TO NOUN
TAiNs FOR VACATION.

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 20.-In the esti-
nation Of Governor hughes, the fam
GUS executive Of the Empire state,
there Is no form of vacation to COM
pare with "roughing it" in the wilder
ness, but the governor is very averse
to being separated from his family
during the play period Of the year. Ac-
cordingly the entire Haghes house
hold spend some weeks each summer
at a rustic cabin on the shore of Up
per Saranac lake-the Lake of the
Clustered Stars"--one of the beautiful
bodies Of water In the Adirondacks.
While the governor is indulging in his
favorite pastime of mountain climbing
Mrs. Hughes and her two eldest
daughters are spending most of the
daylight hours each day in their canoe.
Although their forest lodge is situat-
ed not far from the fashionable hotels
and numerous cottage colony, Mrs.
Hughes and her eldest daughter-the
latter now almost ready to join the
ranks Of the debutantes-spare little
time in summer for that form Of social
life which finds Its favorite setting on
hotel piazzas. They prefer a strenu-
GUS life In the open, interspersed with
numerous excursions in their own
launch, family picnics, etc. The gov
ernor cannot entirely drop work even
during his respite in the north woods.
Accordingly he has his secretaries and
stenographers accompany him to the
wilderness cabin and several hours q
day are devoted to much the same
routine that would be observed at his
Office in Albany, with only the differ
ence that there are fewer callers. The
governors vacation this year was
broken into by a trip to the Seattle
exposition

with Col. Bogey all morning on the
golf links President Taft this after
noon tackled the more serious work
OF discussing with Atty. Gen. Wicker
sham the problem of more centralized
control of Interstate corporations.
Changes In the Sherman antitrust
law In the Jurisdiction of the inter.
state commerce commission, and In
the scope of authority vested in the
bureau of corporations of the depart-

Mexican ambassador to Washington.
The object of his visit, it is said was
to take up the details of President

aft Asked to BE Careful,
Stories that have gone abroad about
the great speed at which President,
Tafts chauffeur takes the chief mag
lstrate among the smooth oiled road
ways about Beverly have caused the
summer White House mail be flooded
with letters from timid admirers OF
Mr. Taft, urging that Robinson, who
drives the presidents car the greater
part OF the time, be directed to ex-
ercise more caution. Some of the
writer's have inclosed clipping from
| newspapers telling of fatal automobile
accidents both in this country and
abroad
1t Is a fact that the president does

ARE SUGGEST:
SIOUX CITY CONVENTION OF
COUNTY OFFICERS HEARS
THIS PROPOSAL.

Sioux City, Aug. 2o.-In an address
before the County Clerks association
here F. w. Sargent, city attorney Of
this town, recommended the appoint
ment Of the clerks of the district
court by judges and that they hold
office for life.
The auditors had one of the live
liest sessions, going hard after the leg
islature for refusing to raise the sal
ary of their Office.
The Iowa supervisors yesterday aft
ernoon decided to hold their next an
nual convention in Cedar Rapids,
which probably means that the audi
tors, treasurers and recorders will
vote likewise Mason City, Fort
Dodge and Des Moines also were cor
sidered.
The treasurers reelected the fol-
lowing officers: W. S. Ellis, Mont
gomery county, president; James A.
Palen, Dubuque county. vice-presi-
dent; Colonel Halgrims, Humboldt
county, secretary: w. S. Wadsworth,

.CURTISS DODCES
AlRSHIP CRASH
AMERICAN AVOIDS COLLISION BY
SHOOTING AERoPLANE
ABOVE ANOTHER.

Rheims, Aug. 2o.-The American
aviator, G. H. Curtiss, at sundown
last evening added a dramatic feature
to the trial flights Of the aeroplanes
entered for the contests of aviation
week by skilfully guiding his machine
above another aeroplane and averting
a collision in the air that seemed i'm
minent.
The feat was accomplished when.
for the firss time in history, three
heavier than air craft were maneuver +
ing at the same time. All were fly
ing rapidly when suddenly Curtiss
saw M. Dumanest in an Anternette
monoplane approaching at right angles
and on the same level with him. AS
quick as a flash Curtiss realized the
danger, and elevating his planes, his
machine instantly shot upward and
scared safely over the Frenchman.
The thousands of spectators who
lined the aerodome watched the ma
neuver with bated breath, but when
they saw it successfully and brilliant
ly carried out applauded the American
wildly. The third machine in the air
at this time was that of M. Tissan-
dier.
Experts today were agreed that
Mr.. Curtiss had made fineA demon
stration of his skill and ability to con
troll his machine during the evolutions
They declared that his biplane was !.

ATTEMPT TO FIRE PLANT
'safning Excelsior Thrown Inside the
Works of the Pittsburg
Car Company.

Pittsburg, Aug. 2O.--Early today an
attempt was made by persons un-
known to start a fire inside the plant
Of the Pressed Steel Car Co. Several
large bundles Of burning excelsior
were thrown over the mill fence, but
were extinguished by guards. Hearing
that alleged strike sympathizers had
threatened to dynamite the ferry
steamer Pfiel, used to carry en-
ployes to the works, the crew Of the
boat quit today rather than take the
risk Of the explosion.

CHICAGO CAR
STRIKE STILL
A POSSIBILITY
NORTH AND WEST SIDE UNIONS
VOTE DOWN PROPOSED WAGE
SCALE AND INTERNATIONAL
PRESIDENT is SENT FOR.

Chicago, Aug. 20.-The rejection by
the North and West Side Garments
union last night Of the proposed wage
schedule offered by the Chicago Rail
ways Co. again brings within the
range of possibilities a strike of all
the street car men in the city. An am
icable settlement Of the dispute, how
ever, Is still hoped for, based to a
great extent on the efforts which will
probably be made by President Will
lam Mahon Of the Information Street
Car Mems union, who Is expected here
today to take charge of the situation.
The possibility of strike prompted
Acting Chief of Police Schuettler to
issue an order today that all applica-
tions of policemen for furloughs be
cancelled.
The union members and their Off
GERS want an increase of 8 cents an
hour in wages in the next agreement.
Formal demands we're prepared with
many clauses, but through all the vital
portion was that increase in wages.
These demands being presented to
the officials of the traction companies,
the latter promptly said such an in
crease could not be given. Tables
showing the wages ruling in other
cities were prepared. These statistics
made 1t apparent that the old wage
scale Of 27 cents for experienced car
men, paid in Chicago, was the highest
in force in any large city east Of the
Rocky mountains.
For reply, the union men stood reso-
lutely by their demands. In their turn
they collected data on wages given in
other cities.
