ularly from the Cape Of Good Hope
In very stormy weather. The story
runs that her captain once swore SO

for his blasphemy he was condemned
to beat about the oceans until the day
Of Judgment. The Flying Dutchman
was never known TO get into port and
was generally seen sailing under full
canvas before strong wind. The

had Its origin In the waterspout. which
In the distance resembles sailing

Top of House to Porch
Roof Today.
FAULTY SCAFFOLD CAUSE

Landing on a porch roof in fall
from the top of two-story house be-
ing erected by ]. X. Jensen, in Rec

CHARGED WITH
COPPER THEFT
Man Arrested With Sup
posed A. s. & r. Ingots
in His Possession.
TRYING TO SELL THEM

An alleged copper thief, believed to
be responsible for recent losses of cop
per from various local factories, was
arrested this morning whiie trying to
dispose of copper ingots and brass
railroad or shafting journals at the
junk yard of Herman Ellis. Ellis re-
fused to purchase the metal and calling
Patrolman William Hartman, had the
man with the copper arrested.
He gave his name at police headquar-
ters as John Kenpa and his age as thir-
ty-four years. Since coming to this
city about a month ago, he says he has
resided in Fayette street. A bag con
tanning the metal he attempted to dis
pose Of to Ellis, was found on him
when arrested.

TO GET "FIRsT WATER"
Lincoln Man Says He Had
Hydrant Cap Off When He
Was Assaulted.
WILL PREFER CHARGES
Also Swear Out a Warrant
for Arrest--Protest An
sWered by Threats.

Charges will probably be pre-
ferred by James Durham, of Lincoln
Engine Company, against a member
of Mcclellan Engine Company for an
alleged assault and battery growing
out of the efforts Of both men to get
first water" at a fire in State street
last night. Durham says he will
carry the case further than the fire
department and will swear out a
warrant for the arrest of his assail-
ant.
Dunham claims he was struck
while attempting to make a connec-
tion at hydrant few feet away
from the blaze. The hydrant cap
had been taken off, he says, and he
was attaching length of hose when
three or four members of Mcclellan
company rushed at him and attempt
ed to wrest the hose from his hands.
When he objected, he says, he was
struck on the jaw by a member of
the rival company and threatened
with more. The latter crowd made
the connection.
The fire damaged a three-story
house at 377 State street to the ex-
tent OF about $3.50 Crossed wires
in a hallway Of the apartment on the
top floor, occupied by Charles Blitz-
er, are said to have been responsible
for the blaze. Smoke poured from
the top floor windows and caves of
the house, rendering the fire diff
cult to locate.
An alarm turned in from box So,
at Commerce and State streets, fail
ed to sound properly, delaying the
apparatus At Protection Hook and
Ladder Company's house the indica-
tor failed to work. The smoke act
ed as a guide to the fremen in
reaching the scene of the fire.
The assault and battery affair, as
far as the fire department is. con-
cerned. will be taken up at next
meeting of Lincoln Engine Com
pany. Durham says that following
the assault he appealed to another
member of the rival company and
was threatened with more unless he
stopped talking.

VOTING BEGAN
AT | O'CLOCK
But Few Ballots Cast Dur
ing the Early Hours
This Afternoon.
TWO WARDS CONTEST
Heaviest Vote Is Being POLL
ed in the Third and
Fifth Wards.
TWO WARDS CONTEST

Considerable interest Is being
taken in the primaries today on ac-
count of the school board fight and
1t Is believed that fair vote will
be cast. The polls opened at 1
o'clock this afternoon and will not
close until o'clock tonight. Both
sides are alert and have their work
ers on duty. The saloons are closed
and must remain SO until the voting
Is ended. Chief Burke, this MORN
ing, had his men notify all the sa-
loonkeepers to that effect and any
who violate the law will be arrested.
A strict guard will be kept on all Of
the liquor places during the voting
hours. The closing of the saloons
is made compulsory by the state law.
The election Is under the supervision
Of City Clerk LaRoe, who was busy
this morning assisting the various
election boards In getting the polls
in readiness.
During the first hour that the
polls were open a number OF ballots
were cast, although the largest vote
was in the third and fifth wards,
where there are contests for the
democratic nomination for alder
man. In the third ward Alderman
Richard j. Calvin is seeking a re-
nomination and Joseph Polkowitz is
opposing him. Calvin has the sup
port of the organization and will
, probably. win out, although Polko-
witz is making a hard fight. Both
candidates have been busy all the
morning, but Polkowitz was handi-
capped by not having tickets. He
neglected ordering them last week
and as result did not get supply.
Since the ballots were issued he has
, been trying increasingly to secure
: ballots, but at o'clock this morn
ing was still unsuccessful, as no one
, had an extra supply.
In the fifth ward Alderman L. G.
Dalton has Bernard M. Mullen as an
opponent for the democratic renom-
ination. Like Calvin, Dalton has
the organization support and will
probably win by a large majority.
Mullen is hustling, however, and is
polling fair vote, according to his
constituents.
There may be some interesting de-
velopments before the day is over
but from all indications the prima-
ries will be quieter than usual.
There is little fear of any bribery at
the polls as money In both parties Is
said to be scarce, and outside of the
two ward fights there is no occasion
for any being used. w~

SPENCER GETS OPINION
Says that Supreme Court
Justice Parker Declares
Ballots Are Illegal.
WORKING AT THE POLLS
Republicans Are Doing All
in Their Power to Have
Straight Ticket Elected.

It was decided at conference OF
the Republican City Committee and
the various candidates in the rooms
of the Fourth Ward Republican Club
last night to protest both the repub-
lican and democratic ballots tomor-
row, If any of the non-partisan
school board members are nomina-
ted at the primaries today. The
committee urged the support of the
straight republican school board
ticket and will be out in force this
afternoon and tonight to carry 1t
through. That the primary election
should be protested If any of the
non-partisan candidates were nomi-
mated was the sense of both the COM
mittee and the seven straight repub
ltcan school board candidates pres
ent.
William A. Spencer, counsel of the
city committee, after a conference
with Supreme Court Judge Charles
W. Parker, of Jersey City, over the
telephone this morning, said that he
was right In his contentious and that
the election today is Illegal. Mr..
Spencer says he explained the situ-
alton thoroughly to Judge Parker
and that the latter stated that a
number of similar cases had come
before him. According to Mr. Spen-
Ger, Judge Parker said that in each
of the cases where 1t had been prov
en- to him that persons of the oppo-
site party were endorsed on the
tickets of the other party, he had
given an order that they be stricken
from the tickets.
When asked If any action would
be taken by him to have the names
stricken from the ballots today, Mr..
Spencer replied In the negative, but
said that 1t was his opinion that the
election could be contested tomor-
row. He said that he believed the
republican party had taken suf1ci-
ent action to protect itself in the
matter as proper notice had been
served on the city clerk, despite
which. he added, the ballots had
been printed with the names Of the
alleged Illegal candidates on them.
1t was denied by Mr.. Spencer that
he had gone to New Brunswick yes
terday to confer with Alan Strong
about the matter or that he was at
ter an injunction to have the ballots
not used today. He says he went on
a business matter and only had time
to say, How do you do" to Mr..
Strong.
City Chairman Ira B. Tice stated
this morning that while some of the
committee weer in favor of an In
junction, no action would be taken
today, but that tomorrow, provid-
ing any of the non-partisan board
were nominated today, the ballots of
both parties would be carried to the
supreme court on protest. The
protest, however, will only be as far
as the school board is concerned,
leaving the rest of the ticket to
stand.
The republicans are making every
effort to get a good vote on account
OF the school board fight and the city
committee and its workers are busy
this afternoon boosting. the straight
republican school board ticket.

TAFT is SHOCKED
BY MAINE ELECTION
pecial bv United Press wire.

Special bv United Press Wire.
Beverly, Mass, Sept. 13:-There was
no statement for the public given out
at the summer capitol today The re-
suits of the Maine election were a de-
cided shock and little attempt was
made to conceal the fact, although
nothing bordering on a statement or
even an intimation came from the Presi-

common consent, here that President
Taft will not be candidate for re-
election. The eyes of all the political
generals Of the administration forces
are now turned on Ohio and New York
and the best sfrategists of the party
will be called on to lend their aid In
the contests to be fought in these two
