FEW CONTESTED BALLOTS
TWENTY VOTERS IN JEFFERSON
TOWNSHIP LOST THEIR VOTES
FOR SHERIFF AS THEY VOTED
FOR TWO MEN.

The canvass board, at its meeting
this morning at the office Of County
Superintendent c. w. Jordan, made an
official count of the votes cast at the
republican primary last Monday AL
though there were several corrections
in the vote from the original announce
ments. the results OF the primary were
as announced yesterday.
The biggest changes noted were in
jefferson township and the Eighth
ward The election boards of these
two precincts were undecided as to the
validity of several votes because of
some flaw. In jefferson township,
the chief difficulty was that twenty
voters voted for two candidates for
sheriff. These contested ballots in
jefferson township, were allowed, ex-
cept the votes for sheriff. The Eighth
ward contested ballots were also al
lowed.

New York. Feb. 9.-Emilya Sarapu,
the girl who was arrested Monday fol-
lowing the finding OF the body of a
murdered woman under the flooring of
the basement in the apartment house
at IFS West Ninety-fourth street, was

detention today, after having been
questioned for eighteen hours by detec-

The detectives declare the girl ad-

Heavy Fall of Snow Began
Last Night and Lasted all
the Forenoon.
TROUBLE FOR FRACTIONS
c. g. L. ROADS ALSO HAD GREAT
TROUBLE OPERATING TRAINS
ON SCHEDULES.

An exceedingly heavy fall of snow
broke forth on this community early
this morning, measuring to a depth of
about five inches. At about o'clock
the weather man began puncturing
the snow clouds and the beautiful
continued to fall until noon, garbing
Mother Earth in complete robe of
white.
The interurban schedule was badly
fractured. The Pennsylvania and c.,
G. & l.. railroad trains also experience
ed great difficulty in blowing through
the drifts and practically all of them
were late in arriving in the city. The
country roads were almost impossible,
it is said. Farmers declare that the
snow drifted SO high in places along
the rural thoroughfares that the
horses could scarcely pull empty wag-
ons through.
City Employs Extra Men.
The city employed an extra force of
men today cleaning the streets along
the business districts and keeping the
sewers free. The snow fall was per-
haps the heaviest of the winter. The
trees and bushes present a gorgeous
appearance. the snow being of the kind
that sticks to the twigs and branches.
The ground hog was evidently wise
when he predicted six more weeks of
winter weather and present conditions
tend to strengthen the belief that as a
weather prophet, the little animal is
just about the best ever.
The snow was hailed with joy by the
small boys and the hills in and around
the city were black with youngsters
all day, engaging in the popular past
time of coasting down the long in
clines. The merry jingle of sleigh
bells will be heard as soon as the snow
packs down, and some excellent racing
will no doubt be witnessed on North A
street towards the latter part of the
week.

Work Legally Limited.
We find that the police department
is definitely limited by law in its ef-
forts to preserve order and enforce
the law. Offences are classified as
misdemeanors and felonies. In gen.
eral, a misdemeanor is minor Of
Tense such as would be punishable on
ly by fine or Imprisonment in the

punishable by death or by imprison-

on view or on a warrant. 1t will be
seen how much the policemen are de-

Unless the policeman sees the crime
committed he may not lawfully make
an arrest unless some citizens will

the interest and cooperation of pri-

duty on all citizens to give informa

and grand juries, and make affidavits
leading to arrests and to give evidence
at trials to secure convictions With
out this it is practically impossible
for the police to enforce the laws, es-
pecially in case of misdemeanors.
Favors Lighting Dark Spots.
Dark alleys and unlighted stairways
and Railways unused at night as well
as insufficiently lighted streets favor
the commission of crime and prevent
its detection. The cost of lighting the
principal alleys in the business dis

street corner in residence districts
where the sidewalks are heavily shad-
ed in summer would be too great to be
practicable. Arc lights alone could be
considered. since the breakage of in

 Employers of Labor.


 A short time ago when the employ ees of the Westinghouse works, near Pittsburg, were paid many envelopes were found to contain from $1OO to $1,OOO more than the amount due ac- cording to the timekeepers' records. The recipients of this extra money, about $4O,OOO all told, were salaried men in the employ of the company who suffered loss of time and earnings when the company encountered hard times in 1907 and had serious slump. More men will be remembered in like manner during the immediate future. An official of the company stated that the firm did not deem it necessary to publish the names of the employees being benefited and added:
 "The company desires to show it's ap- preciation of the men. They lost mon- ey through no fault of their own or ours. The plant is large and has been working double time for some time. It is only fair that the men who stuck to the company should beneht III the great new rush of prosperity"
