ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS
Board of Aldermen Unable to
Elect President.
MEMBERS ARE DEADLOCKED

Infantry Company Inspected.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, September 211 1910.
The board of aldermen last night
took sixty-one ballots without electing
a president and then adjourned until
the evening of September 81 at 1880
o'clock, when efforts will again be made
to effect a choice. This makes a total
of 1O4 ballots that have been taken.
the first forty-three September l last,
when the city council was organized.
The deadlock is apparently no nearer
a solution now than it was the day
the council was organized. The vote
taken last night was 4 to 4. On one
side were arrayed ]. M. Hill. vice pres
ident, and Aldermen Marbury. Fitzger-
aid and Brill.
On the other side were Aldermen Bal
lenger, Field, Summers and Ogden.
The board was called to order by Vice
President Hill, who said that although
he was the Oldest member of the board
in point of service he had no selfish mo-
tive in aspiring to the position. and had
shown this by placing in nomination
Alderman Marbury. who is next to him
self in point of service. Since the last
meeting, he explained, he had refreshed
his memory regarding the workings of
the board, and recalled similar dead
=
sion he said that if Mr.. Marbury were
chosen president he would agree to let
Mr. Ogden, the new member from the
third ward, take the place of Mr.. Mar
bury on the committees the latter is
now on.
Candidates Placed in Nomination.
Mr.. Hill then nominated Alderman
Marbury for the position, and Mr.. Bal
lenger nominated II. K. Field. During
the evening the Hill faction nominated
Messrs. Hill and Brill at intervals. Mr.
Fitzgerald was also nominated, but he
declined. The other side presented only
the name of Mr.. Field, and continued
voting for him until the balloting had
ceased.
Efforts on the part of some members
to adjourn until the second Tuesday in
October, when council is to convene, was
met with opposition from the Ballenger
side, and finally Mr.. Brill moved tnat
adjournment be taken until September
n, which motion was adopted shortly be-
fore $50 o'clock.
The indications are that the election
will have to be settled by drawing straws.
1t is said, however, that Vice President
Hill has legal right to serve as presl-
dent and to transact business. Should
this prove to be true he might continue
to serve throughout the session un-
less some agreement is reached. The out
come is awaited with interest

Fortune of Millions.
LONDON, September 21.-After clearing
up more than a million dollars by the
practice of palmistry and blackmail in
New York, Newport. Paris and London,
and after having swindled Count Rudolph
Festetics of Hungary, who married a
granddaughter of James B. Haggin, out
of million francs, 'Cheiro' was yester-
day declared by the London court of
bankruptcy to be worth just $50.
His fortune all gone, with debts of
$216,33O standing against him. with a
sentence of thirteen months imprison-
ment hanging over him in Paris, and
hated and feared by thousands of woman
dupes in two continents, this adventurer
palmist. journalist and financier has come
to the lowest ebb of his fortune.
He is worse off than he twas years ago,
when, under his real name of Jack
Warner, he was a page in a hotel at
Belfast, Ireland. Warner was a hand
some, curly-headed youngSter, and when
he went to London with the idea of
becoming an actor he met Oscar Wilde,
who gave him smattering of palmistry
and took him to the Duchess Of suther-
lands house one evening, where he intro
duced him as "Cheiro," a great palmist
from India. Warner in an inimitable
manner painted picture of romanticism
and mysticism that was absolutely gulp-
ed down by the entire party as truth.
Under Wilde's schooling 'Cheiro'' be-
came an adept in the wild, mystic tales
OF Indian magic, and with fake poisoned
rings and charmed jewels. along with an
acquired knowledge of human nature, he
made wonderful success.
Adept in Indian Magic.
After practicing in London for a while
he went to New York. where after OBJ
tanning the skeletons of nearly all the
important families In the American me-
tropolis by foolish women coming to him
and exposing their private lives. he re-
turned to London with $500 600 to his
credit from his American experience He
became the fad in London, but Scotland
Yard began an investigation, and "Cheiro''
went to Paris.
In Paris Warner met man who called
himself King of Sedange and Hamon,
two small islands near the Malay penin-
sula. This king was really Count Mey-
rena, an Italian adventurer and explorer
who had come upon the two cannibal
islands and I'm some way had had himself
proclaimed king.
Had Title Of Count Hamon.
At any rate the king gave "Cheiro''
the title of Count Hamon," and as Count
Hamon "Cheiro'' founded the financial
house Of Hamon & Co., and for three
years he carried on a brokerage business.
Among his customers were many Ameri-
can women and Count Festetics, who in
January, 1909, charged him with retaining
possession of stocks which they had given
him to negotiate.
Count Hamon'' fed to London, and
while he was not extradited. his creditors
pursued him and forced him into bank
ruptcy.

COUNTY CLERK
David Keith Will Make

So far David Keith is the only man
who has made a positive declaration
of his intention to become a candi-
date this fall. Mr. Keith aspires to
the county clerkship, the office now
held by ]. Leigh Campbell, who has
served four years and is therefore
ineligible to reelection. Mr.. Keith
has been debating the matter in his
own mind for the past several weeks
and has been urged by number of
friends to make the race, and today
informed the Daily World that he
would be a candidate and at the
proper time would file his declara-
ton of candidacy.
Mr.. Keith has been a resident of
the city for the past six years, sew
eral years of which has been spent
in business in this city. During the
past four years Mr.. Keith has given
his time mostly to his property in
terests. This past spring he has had
charge of the federal enumeration
in this city. He is one of the best
known men in this valley and is thor
oughly competent for this position.

ARE READY FOR BIG
BOAT RACE
Annual Event Between the
Crews of Harvard
and Yale.

New London, Conn, June 29.-The
annual boat race on the Thames riv-
er between the university crews of
Yale and Harvard will take place to-
morrow and interest in the great
aquatic event is as keen as ever. In
addition to the varsity eight-oared
event there will be races between the
varsity tours and the freshmen
crews. The principal event of the
day will be rowed at 4::30 o'clock
downstream from Red Top to the
railroad bridge, slight tide being
with the crews. The freshmen will
race tomorrow morning at 1890
o'clock. The varsity tours will race
Immediately after the freshmen.
The two Fights took their final
practice spins today, the betting is
at its height and after all is said
there appears to be little difference
between the boats. On account of
her having a veteran crew, the odds
are inclined to slightly favor Har-
ward, but it seems to be the general
opinion that there will be a close
struggle.
In anticipation of the day of all
days New London has assumed an
air of activity and has put on gala
attire in honor of the visitors. All
indications point to the usual i'm
mense throng of spectators. The ad-
vance guard of the visitors has al
ready put in an appearance and early
tomorrow morning the main army
of university men and their friends
will arrive on special trains from
New York, Boston, Hartford. New
Haven and other points.
Yale and Harvard Fights have
rowed forty-three races, beginning
in 1852 on Lake Winnipiseogee, at
two miles. In 1855 the course was
changed to Springfield, and length
ened to three miles. Lake Quinsiga-
mond was the scene of the aquatic
dual for nine years, and Lake Sal
tonstall had the race in 1869. At
ter an interval of seven years the
crews in 1851 went to Springfield
again, when the four-mile course was
inaugurated. Since 1878 the race
has been rowed regularly at New
London, with the exception of the
contest of 1897, which took place at
Poughkeepsie with Cornell also a
contestant. OF the forty-three con-
tests that have taken place Yale has
won twenty-three and Harvard twen-
ty.

70 DEVELOP SOUTH
DAKOTA
1000 People Gathered at
Pierre to Discuss
Ways and Means.

Pierre, s. D., June 29.-Federal
and state officials, scientists, educat-
ors, capitalists, merchants. miners,
manufacturers and farmers, nearly
two thousand in all, assembled in
Pierre today to discuss the problems
of conservation and agriculture and
industrial development in South Da-
kota. 1t is the first state congress
on conservation. Since it was called
by Governor Vessey, at the sugges-
ton of Judge A. e. Chamberlain,
state superintendent of farmers in
stitutes, the scope of the congress
has broadened until every conceiv-
able phase of conservation and de-
velopment has been included. A few
of the subjects on the program are
various farm conservation problems,
and the conservation of the public
health, the forests, the mineral re-
sources and the water power. The
promotion of immigration will also
receive much attention.
Progressive farmers from nearly
every county of the state are includ-
ed in the attendance. Among the
scheduled speakers are the South
Dakota representatives in congress,
Governor Wesley, ex-Governors Her
ried, Lee, Crawford and Elrod, and
representatives of the industrial de-
partments of the various northwest
ern railroads.
One or two other events in addi-
ton to the conservation congress
have added to the attendance of
visitors. The most important of these
is the dedication of the new state
capitol, which is to take place to-
morrow. Then there is also to be
northwestern immigration confer
ence, following the conservation
congress, which will be attended by
official representatives of the states
of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota
and North and South Dakota.

Hans Wagner has discovered
his batting goat. 1t is the cam
era man For a month or more
the great shortstop of the Pitts
burg Pirates has been walloping
the pill at .240 clip. a very low
average for the only Honus. The
fact that he might possibly lose
the hitting honors of his. league
and thereby miss the chance to
ride in that machine offered by
an automobile company to the
leading batter Of the two leagues
seems to have got on the nerves
Of the Flying Dutchman." and
consequently he is now a promi-
nent member of the crouch club.
Recently the camera man es-
sayed to take several pictures Of
Wagner on the ball field Wag-
ner is superstitious and has no
use for the picture men. The
photographer managed to snap
him as he was picking up his
favorite bat ready to take his
turn at sphere walloping in
Brooklyn recently. On his re-
turn to the bench the camera
man tried TO snap Wagner again.
but the big Dutchman spied him
and Immediately picked up a ball
and hurled 1t at the picture man
with all his might. The snap
shotter escaped by an eyelash.
There is one thing that Mr..
Wagner should bear in mind.
and that is If 1t were not for
the great publicity given TO the
game by the newspapers and the
stories and pictures of the play
ers published in the same Mr..
Wagner might never have ac-
cumulated the big fat bank ac-

pers got together to teach these

tell the truth. baseball seems to
be no longer a sport. but a BUSH
ness.

not due to the camera man. but
