THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT"

The Australian ballot is providing
much work for the courts and many
fees for lawyers. Judge Gager's de-
cision In q Danbury case to the effect
that omission OF the 'tX' mark at the
head OF q party column does not in
validate a ballot. is responsible for
many Of the contests now in progress.
Under the instructions given out with
the ballots. it was vitality necessary
to use the TX" mark at the head OF

lions were based upon opinions given
by Attorney General Holcomb who Ia

"A subcommittee Of the Senate Ju-
dietary committee has endorsed the
project Of the election of Senators
directly by the people. This does not
necessarily mean either that the whole
committee will approve it. or that the
Senate would pass a measure to that
effect. On the contrary. similar meas
ures have passed the House several
times. and have always met some form
of death in the Senate.
The purpose Of the movement is to
secure the election of Senators who
will represent the people and not the
special interests. Under the pres
emit system, these interests too often
succeed in sending men to the Senate
to represent them. It would be prac-
tically impossible for them to per

general attack had been planned before

men broke out in this city and New York
last night. Two Cinnamon were killed in
Philadelphia and third Is believed to be
dying as the result of the battle in this
city.
1t was a few minutes after II o'clock
last night when a riot call was sent to
the city hall on account OF general
battle that was taking place in the build
ing at 913 Race street. A dozen shots
were fired and the gathering of Cinnamon
could be heard for half dozen squares

to the scene. but the doors were barred
and they were compelled to force an en-
trance.
On the second floor they found two
Cinnamon apparently dead. their bodies
riddled with bullets. A third was lying on
the floor with blood gushing from several
bullet holes in his body.
The three men were placed in the patrol
wagon and hurried to the Hahnemann
Hospital. but two of them were dead
when they reached the institution The
third was found to have two bullets in
his body, one having passed almost di-
rectly through his abdomen. He was
placed on the operating table, but the
physicians have little hopes of his recov-
cry.
In the meantime the police surrounded
the Race street house with police guard
and every man who was in the building
when the trouble occurred was rounded
up and taken TO the city hall.
They refuse to make any statement
about who did the shooting or what the
cause might have been. 1t was ascertain
ed, however, that this house was the
headquarters of the Four Brothers So
ciety and it was also ascertained that a
planned attack had been threatened on
this body unless they disbanded Several

The troubles of young Philander G.
Knox, jr, the twenty-one-year-old son of
Secretary Knox, are drawing to close, it
was learned today on good authority, and,
although the young man is not to bring
his bride to Washington to make their
home here with his parents. Secretary
Knox has so far relented that he is 60
in to take a deep personal interest in his
sons business career and the young peo-
pie never will be in want Of money
1t was reported yesterday that young
Knox and his bride would accompany his
mother and his brother here from New
York to make the reconciliation COM
plete. But this was denied by Secretary
Knox, who said emphatically:
My SON is not here; is not expected
here. Aside from the fact that he is mar
ried and on that account has begun to
earn his living earlier than was planned,
there is nothing to say about him.
Whether Philander, jr., has gone to the
Knox home in Valley Forge Pa, or to
Atlantic City for a few days or is on his
way back to Detroit is not known here.

learned today that Mr.. Knox would enter
the factory in Detroit of the automobile
company for which he has been the agent
in Providence since he was married. He
will learn the business from the bottom
up and is expected to make the manu-
facture OF automobiles the business of
life. for the next few years at any rate
1t is understood that Secretary Knox will
invest money in the automobile company
into whose factory young Knox is going,
or that after the young man has learned
much about the business the Secretary
will allow him to form a company of his
own and will furnish the capital to back
him.
Young Knox has been much interested
in automobiles for q number of years.
He has owned several. and it is said that
long before he was married he expected
to go into the business after he left
school. When he was here about a month
ago. seeking to obtain the parental bless
ing after his wedding, he told a reporter
for The Star that he had not intended
to go to college. and that at the end of
the present school year his father had
promised to set him UP In business
Young Knox said at the time:
Il hope THAT he will fulfill this promise
after he has gotten used to the idea Of
my being married"
