Claim OF ILLEGALITY
IN HANC( OK TOWNSHIP

Dan Washburn, who was a candidate
for supervisor in Hancock township
at yesterdays election, was in town
this morning, having come down to
make a protest against the election in
which the ticket headed by Patrick
Solomon was elected. Washburn
claims ilegality in conducting the
election, for several specific reasons.
one is that one or more candidates for
election on the opposition ticket were
members of the election board and
handled the ballots which would elect
or defeat them; that members of the
board would leave their places in the
polling booth to bring in voters, and
show them how to cast their ballots
by means of the instruction ballots.
Also that the tickets as printed were
illegal.
The regular township caucus was
held March &c. and named a nominal
ton ticket headed by Patrick Solomon
for supervisor. After the independent
caucus was held last Monday night,
nominating Washburn for supervisor,
and naming three men who had with
drawn from the nomination ticket for
offices on the citizens ticket, the OPP
position held another caucus and placed
in nomination an entire new ticket.
1t is claimed that this caucus and the
subsequent filing of the ticket under
the name OF the republican ticket, was
Illegal becalise not within the require
ments of the law stating that tickets
shall be flied five week days before
election. The nomination ticket, chos-
en- a week ago last Saturday night,
was not placed on the printed ticket at
all. and the names of two constables,
originally named on the nomination
ticket, were said to have been placed
in the citizens column. without consent
or authority, while new candidates for
constables were nominated in their
places.
The tickets elected yesterday, on the
face of the returns, was as follows:
Supervisor. Patrick Solomon; clerk
Tom Major; treasurer. Ban Bukema;
highway commissioners, Jacob Hill;
Justice of the peace, Jacob Ojala;
member board of review, c. Peterson;
overseer of highways. Dan Anderson;
constables. Charles Bukema; Oscar

TARIFF AIDS PHILIPPINES.

Washington, April The FREQ
trade provisions of the new tariff act
between the United States and the
Philippines. according to official re-
ports from Manila, have resulted in a
considerable increase in the customs
and internal revenue receipts of the
Philippine government.
The Bureau of Insular Affairs OF
the War Department has received a
telegram stating that the Philippine
assembly had opened a special session
at Baguio. the summer capital. The
object of the session is to provide for
the continuance Of work on public inn
provements already additional projects
which had not been authorized prior
to the adjournment of the regular ses
sion because of the fear that the new
tariff arrangement would so decrease
revenues that they would not be suf-
ficient to permit of such work. This,
however. has not been the case, and
the Philippine government now finds
itself in excellent shape to continue
these improvements.

THE FRONT STREET FILL.

Work on the Front street wall con-
struction was temporarily stopped this
morning by the rain. large guam
tity of concrete has been deposited in
the framework of the second wall and
the indications are that the building
will progress rapidly. The only pros
pect of delay in carrying on the work
to a rapid completion is the nature OF
the earth on the Quincy hillside
whence the supply of sand is obtained
to wash down into the ravine. This
is full of rocks and boulders, and hard
pan has been encountered in. spots,
making the material difficult to ham
die. Conditions are more difficult
than in the further ravine filled a
couple of years ago. where nothing but
loose sand was encountered.

Fort Dodge, July 2.-Abstracts OF the
reports OF the railroad commission for
the year ending Dec. 81, 1909, are be-

great interest by Fort Dodge people.
Special interest is manifested in the
reports of the business done by the
Fort Dodge. Des Moines G Southern
Interurban Company, which, 1t de-
velops. has earned 1864 per mile, as net
earnings. This report, compared with
other interurban lines in the state, all
of them with less mileage, shows the
Fort Dodge Des Moines line to have
made less profit than any fthe others.
With $50 miles Of track. the Fort
Dodge Des Moines and southern has
terurban 1t is discovered that no
other line is more than a few miles in
length except the Cedar Rapids and
Iowa City with twenty-seven miles and
the Des Moines Interurban Company
with sixty-four miles. This latter in
cludes the three branches, Des Moines
to Nitchellville, Perry and Colfax.
Notwithstanding the advantage Of
additional mileage. however, the new
inter city line which covers Central
Iowa north and south, falls below the
others in earnings. Operating expenses
exceed those OF the other roads. too,
but perhaps not proportionately so,
considering the additional mileage.
Operating expenses for the Fort
