AS was to be expected there is
no opposing democratic candidate to
the nomination of VIM. G. Sharp for
Congress. Under the new primary
law recently passed, candidate for
this honor is required to file a peti.
tion in his favor signed by certain
percentage of the voters of the party.
A very large number of the leading
members of his party throughout the
district much In excess of that re-
qulred, came forward to sign Mr.,
Sharp's petition which was filed with
the Board of Supervisors of Elections.
Although but little more than one
year of the 61st Congress has passed.
Mr.. Sharp has abundantly justified the
good Judgment OF those who, regard
less of party ties, supported him in
the last campaign. His record In
Congress has been of a high character
and reflects credit upon the constitu
ency which he represents. The work
in that body Is of a dual character
involving that performed upon the
floor of the house in the discussion OF
Legislation of general nature, and
that before the committees which
more directly concerns local or dis
trict matters. In both these fields o
work Mr.. Sharp has demonstrated
ability of high order, His discus

SECOND TRIAL FOR
WIFE MURDER

Erie, Pa, May i6.-Much interest is
manifested in the second trial Alton
V. Hoover, the alleged wife murderer
of Crawford county, which was on the
court calendar to begin in the Oyer
and Terminer Court today. At the first
trial Hoover was convicted and sen
fenced to death
Hoover's crime was the shooting
down of his young wife, Cora Fay
Hoover, in the small town of Atlantic,
near Meadyille, on Nov. 27th, 1908.
Hoover was Il young merchant of the
village and his wife was one of the
most beautiful girls of the neighbor-
hood, Early in the summer of 1908, n
month before her baby was born, Mrs.
Hoover had been obliged to leave her
husband because of his i'll treatment.
She was living in the home of her par
ents where, on Thanksgiving night,
she was called up on the telephone
by her husband who asked her to re-
turn home at once, Accompanied by
her sister she went to her home the
next day, but could not get into the
house, With her sister, she went to
the home of a neighbor. Hoover call
ed there and when his wife came to
the door deliberately shot her down
with revolved he had purchased the
day before. Immediately after the
crime the slayer surrendered himself
to the police and declared he did not
know why,h had killed his wife.

sions OF these larger subjects have
been on broad and non-partisan lines,
while his votes have been cast with
reference to the merits of each indi-
vidual proposition.
His speeches in Congress on the
tariff and income tax in particular
were Thoughtful and able expositions
of his views and were highly com
mended by his colleagues. We believe
his position ON these important ques-
tions meets the approval today of a
very large majority of the people in
this district.
AS to legislation which more direct.

advocating such measures. The re

are bound to prove of much value ia
his constituents.

STANTON STREET
AND STREET CARS
Property Owners Ask That
Cars Be Operated IN
Each Direction.

Property owners on South Stanton
street will petition the city council to
have the Ell Paso Electric Railway
operate cars both ways on Stanton
street in order to give the residents of
that street adequate service The petit
ton, signed by 100 or more property
owners and residents on the south end
of this street, will be presented at the
Thursday morning session of the coun-
ell and the men who are interested in
the development of this section of the
city will appear before the council in
person to urge the city to take steps TO
grant the petition.
A number of the property owners on
the street met at the courthouse Tues
day evening. at which time the proposed
petition, drawn by Capt. W. B. Brack,
was read and approved and a committee
of II men named to present the petition
to the council. Talks were made by
Capt. Braek, attorney for the petitioners.
who explained the franchise under which
the street railway was operated. He
stated that it was the implied intention
of the original franchise that the cars
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1910-05-25

should be run both ways on Stanton
street, since it did not contemplate the
operation of line in a foreign country
and the return of the cars through for
eign streets Capt. Brack said that the
return of the cars was strongly implied
in the old franchise, since to run cars
only one way down Stanton street meant
that all of the cars on the line would be
massed at the foot of the street, as 10
franchise could consider the operation of
a car over foreign territory.
Contrary to the general belief, the Pc
titioners are not asking for double
tracks on Stanton street. All they ask
is for a car service both ways J. J.
Stewart, one of the property owners on
the street, suggested a plan by which
the cars running to Mexico could be al
ternated between the Ell Paso and Stan
ton street lines so that every second car
would be returning on Stanton street.
This could be accomplished without con-
fusion to the service, Mr.. Stewart ex-
planned, by the installing OF switches in
Mexico where the cars could pass each
other on the way around the loop This
would give both FL Paso and Stanton
street a car service each way instead OF
one way only as at present.
This suggestion was received favor
ably by the men who were present at
the meeting and will be considered by
