FIGHT ON VOTING
MACHINES TONIGHT
Lively Squabble Due With Heineman
Leading Opposition - Holly At
tacks Counting Board.

Although the board Of estimates
committee having the matter in charge
has approved OF the $4,000 estimate
for voting machines and sent 1t back
TO the council to have q provision at
.sched for payment In shortrterm
bonds, It Is now far from certain that
the estimate will pass.
Aid. Heineman succeeded In prevent
ing approval OF the item by the coun-
ell committee on ways and means,
Tuesday morning, and that body will
render no report In the council! meet
ing. That will bring the matter up
to a fight on the floor and the council
may not return the item to the estj-
majors.
Only four aldermen were present m
the committee meeting, Chairman
Gilman and Aid. Heineman, HARPER
and Tossy. The debate Indicated that
every one except Heineman believed
In the machines, but Aid. HARPER
was opposed to bonding for them, rs
was also Controller Doremus, who was
present and spoke OH the matter.
The city's credit is going 20 -
II you do this" argued Heineman.
Bond buyers are getting squeamish
now, and II Is bad enough for the leg
limit to, 3 per cent. We are likely to
go down among the third-class cities
In the way OF credit instead Of stand
ing first among the flrst-class cities.
There are lots Of ways that these
machines could be bought without
issuing bonds. Let us buy $4,000
worth Of them outright with contract
tc pay for 80 many more each year.
That would be legal. and the manufac-
turers will agree to that or any one
Of 20 other ways II they find they can
not get their pay al! at once. II we
issue bonds for this, we will be issu-
ing short term notes and two-year
bonds for other things soon aud the
price Of all our bonds will tumble.
Maybe they are all right In Buffalo.
All the people care about there 10 the
governor, and they vote straight. The
politicians smile. They want to pro-
tect the Republican party. We do not
want to protect any party here.
What we want Is a decent ballot
with the party emblem removed, a
decent election day with everything
clOSeQ up anu QoCSut counting Dodtu
with good men. The present counting
board IL lot Of soldiers. only anxious
to get 90 much pay as possible. You
would have to watch them with
six-shootsr TO make. them work."
Aid. Tossy took issue with some OF
Heineman's statements, and tho final
vote was tie. which puts the matter
ND to q debate In the council There
has been great deal Of lobbying done
In favor Of the machines. some former
officials displaying great interest in
the proposition and talking for 1t. All
the members OF the common council
and board OF estimates have been lib
orally circularized and every effort
made to make a strong showing for
the machines.
II Is. therefore. certain that Heine
man will find himself In fight on
the council floor.
The committee voted TO approve of
allowing $4,000 bonds for west side
bath house.

"Cuss" words. variegated and highly
explosive, were injected at the rate

that q neighborhood row between
Selke, who lives at No. $50 Erskire-
St, and Mr.. and Mrs. William Har-
vel, Of No. Gel Erskine-st., had de-
veloped into "cussing" contest, and
when Selke, through practice as a
barn boss, backed his opponents of
the boards, the police were called In.
Mrs. Harvey, who told the first story
Of the rumpus, declared that she was
only repeating Selke's remarks, hut
she showed remarkable control, and
had considerable speed.
Selke declared that the trouble start
ed when Harvey played eaves-dropper
near the Selke windows, which nat
urally caused some friction. Harvey
denied the allegation. Mrs. Harvey
says that Selke, after acting like a
crazy man, pushed his fist through her
window. and tried to kick her door in.
She admitted that she had told her
husband to go into the barn, get the
az and hit Selke in the head with 1t.
And II he ever steps I'm my yard

ed Mrs. Harvey.
Justice Stein adjourned the case
until Saturday.

In the meantime both OF the Coop
ers are going on an extended trip for
rest while there Is a rumor here that
Robin Cooper will be married shortly.
Both father and son are under a SEN
tence of twenty years In the state
prison imposed by Judge Hart at the
behest OF the Jury that convicted them
Today's decision was expected. as
Judge Hart had practically ruled on
all of the points raised by the attor-
neys for the Coopers during the pro-
gress Of the trial
Formal sentence was at once waiv-
ed by both OF the defendants and
Judge Anderson moved for a stay OF
judgment pending conference OF at
torneys. This was refused by the
court who ordered that the accused be
taken into custody which was done in
formally.
Then the notice OF appeal to the SUI
preme court was fled and the bonds
were renewed. Judge Anderson de-
clared that ne would endeavor to have
the appeal preferred on the calendar
Of the supreme court so that II could
be argued at the coming term OF the
supreme court. II is not expected,
however that this will be granted but
that the case will have to take its reg

OF the numerous spectators reflected
the pathos. when little Rosa told OF
her sincere, maidenly conduct with
Adams. and of his producing the false
marriage certificate. making her be-
lieve that she was his lawful wife.
Her story was almost the same as
that told In the first trial. but Rosa
was more composed, and two incidents
not mentioned In the other case made
a profound impression In the court
room, when she told them plainly. and
without affectation or display OF any
sort.
One dealt with their departure from
