PROPER METHOD OF VOTING
THE NEW AUSTRALIAN BALLOT
Opinion Received from Attorney Gen
eraI John n. Light.

Hartford. Conn.,, Sept. 29.-Secretary
of State Rogers received this after
noon from Attorney General John Fl.
Light the following opinion concern
ing the new Australian system of
voting:
Dear Sir: In reply to your in
ouiries as to the proner methods of
voting the new Australian ballot,
would say:
The voter must put a cross mark
(X within the circle above the name
of the party at the heaG of his ticket.
If he desires to vote a straight ticket,
he will not make any other marks up
ON it whatever; but if he desires to
split his ticket by voting for one or
more names upon the other ticket he
will make a cross mark (XO in the
voting space on the left and before
the name of the candidate on the other
ticket for whom he desires to cast his
ballot. But in case two or more per-
sons are to be elected to fill the same
office, and any elector desires to split
his ticket, he will place cross mark
(X) in the voting space on the left
and before the names of such candi-
dates for whom he desires to cast
such ballot. such marks to be in addi-
ton to the mark required TO be placed
within the circle al The head of his
party ticket.
But an elector must keep in mind
that he IS not 70 place a cross marx
(N) before a greater number of names
for any office than the number ap
pearing upon his own ticket for that
particular Office.
ANY other mark than the cross
mark (X) will-render his ballot void.
In my opinion, this is the only
proper or legal method of voting such
ballot.
Respectfully submitted.

USE OF ARMY UNIFORM
BY PERSONS NOT IN SERVICE.
General Funston Left Kansas City Ho-
tel Because the BeIIboys Looked Like
u. S. Army Captains.

Washington, Sept. 2s.-Army officers
in Washington applaud General Fun
ston's action in Kansas City yesterday
in withdrawing his patronage from a
hotel where the belfboys were clad in
uniforms which the general thought
were those of captain in the United
States army.
1t is a matter of regret to the war
department that it has not been pos
sible to obtain legislation which will
prevent the use of the army uniforms
by persons not in the service. Several
attempts have been smade in that di-
rection, but an obstacle always has
been, found in the fact that the gov
ernment itself sells large quantities of
discarded army clothing and congress
was disposed to uphold the right of tbSl
purchasers to wear7it if they saw fitN
Sometimes where the uniform is
abused 1T has been possible to apply
remedy by a charge of false pretenses.
Thus it happened that performer in
a local vaudeville theater gave a skit
involving fancy drill by a number of
youths clad in the army uniform.
There was no way to stop that but
when the department found that the
man was falsely advertising himself as
United States army officer it served
sharp notice upon him to cease under
penalty of prosecution.

Boxer Troubles Recalled.
The army and navy are prepared for
any emergency. but their readiness Is
solely a precautionary measure, it is
said and should not be taken as an
indication of immediate danger.
Authentic advices from those charg-

ditions indicate that the only thing
lacking to parallel today's situation
with that preceding the Boxer troubles,
which drew into China the American
forces as well as those of other ma

and that it only needs a leader to ef-
feet that.

well as the military forces at Manila,
is prepared for almost instant action
in the event trouble breaks out.
