WILL Be JUST
ABOUT 3,100
Figure Given in The
Republican Two Days
Ago Confirmed.
HIGHEST
JOHNSON
Progressive" Candidate for
Attorney-G General Has Big
gest Vote to Date.

Up to two O'Clock today, official
returns from %thirty-one counties Of
the state had been received in the Of
flee of secretary of state at Pierre
and the figures go to confirm the re-
suits previously announced that Cow
ernor Vessey was BILL in the lead
over Egan. The secretary of state this
morning added to the returns he had,
the newspaper reports for the other
counties, and announced that Ves-
sey's plurality would be just about
3,100. Not until today did any paper
aside from The Republican discover
that Vessey's plurality would be so
substantial. &
The official figures received at
Pierre leave in doubt the outcome
of the candidates for only two Of
fees on the state ticket, commissions
er Of school and public lands and
acknowledgement and the indica-
tions were, as announced yesterday,
that Brinker would win for commits
sioner of school and public lands and
Byrne for lieutenant-governor.
The Official Figures. \
Following are the totals of the OF!
fetal returns from the 81 counties
that have reported to Pierre:
For Governor-Elrod, 11,494,
Egan, 1898; Vessey, 1858.
For congressmen-Burke, 1886;
Martin 1880; Thorson, 1895;
Schrader, 1905.
For secretary of state-Polley 90,
$50; Dousman, 1927.
For state treasurer-Johnson. 90
9S3; Ewert, 1886.
For Observation-Disclosures
1879; Parmley, 1870.
For superintendent of schools
Lawrence, 2O,O52; Seymour, 1918
For railroad commissioner-Smitt
1910; Benedict, 1922.
For state authorization, 10,
865; %Bibelheimer, 1912.
For attorney-general-Johnson
21,776; Price, 1927.
For commissioner of school and
public lands.-Brinker, 1896; Eos
ter, 1915.
The counties in which Egan rar
strong had nearly all reported, which
accounts for the small lead Vesse,
has in these counties. The congress
men are running rather close, and i
is nov doubted If Burke and Martil
will have as much as 1000 or 5000
majority, as was expected up to las
night.

sisted that she should retain his coat,
was wakened by the chilliness pre-
ceding the dawn. Five minutes later
they started on their journey,
The starlight gimmered on the
waves and shed a faint radiance over
the rocks. This and their knowledge
of the way enabled them to pick
path along the foot of the cliff without
difficulty. Once on the beach. they
swung along at a smart gait, invigor-
ated by the cool air.
Dawn found them half way to their
goal Blake called a halt when the
first red streaks shot up the eastern
sky. All stood waiting until the quick
ly following sun sprang forth from the
sea. Blake's first act was to glance
from one headland to the other, esti-
mating their relative distances. His
grunt of satisfaction was lost in Win
thrope's exclamation: by Jove, look
at the cattle!"
Blake and Miss Leslie turned to
stare az the droves of animals NOV

Ger of the tall grass. Miss Leslie was
the first to speak, They can't be

"Jerked meat is all right. You cut

HAS DIVORCE

I SAN FRANCISCO, May 3.-Bafore
Judge Trout of the Superior Cnurt
late this afternoon Mrs. May Mott
Smith Bird Cunningham, daughter OF
John Mott Smith, formerly minister
plenipotentiary of thee Hawaiian gov
eminent to the United States, will APP
pear to get her divorce from c. ..
Cunningham, clubman, lawyer, politi-
clan and military instructor.
Although Cunningham has filed a
sealed answer in the suit, the docu-
ment will not be opened and he will
not contest the divorce action. Ac-
cording to his attorneys, Hillyer,
Stringham & O'Brien, the sealed an
swer was filed for use in case Mrs.

Element of the property rights. This
i settlement has been made and there
will be no fight.
Cunningham is the owner of some
400 lots in Marin county, as we'll as
realty about the bay. The terms OF
the settlement which has been feacn-
ed will not be made public, but it is
announced that Mrs. Cunningham VIII
not prosecute her claim for alimony.
Mrs. Cunningham has made a wide
reputation in California as an artist,
writer and a jewelry designer. She
+ is a member and director Of the Sc
quota Club.
The name of Carlo Baron, since
welded to Virgilia Bogue, PortoIa
queen and daughter of Vergil Bogue,
chief engineer of the Western Pacific,
has been mentioned in the gossip of
the art rooms, although the principals
announce that Carlo Baron was mere

oil paintings.
Mrs. Cunningham left her husband
in May of last year, In her suit for
a divorce she charged him with having
neglected her while she was ill., al
though he had nothing more import
ant to do than tour the State in the
interest Of a gubernational candidate.
She also says he inveigled her into
wasting her money in Hawaiian en-
terprise.

ers, is Secretary of State of Hawaii.
Harold, another brother, is an artist
of note.

CHICAGO, April 3O-Prof. Henry c..
Lord and Prof. E. F. CoddingtoD, both
of Ohio State University. left Chicago
last night, bound for Hawaii where
they hope to study the comet with
profit for science. The observation
camp, equipped with apparatus, Will
be set up among the palms on the
south slope of the island of Hawaii.
The transit which they desire to
observe will take place in what is

which makes necessary the Pacific

Incandescent sodium gas, an indi-
cation of extraordinary activity, has
been discovered in Halleys comet.
The discovery was made yesterday at
the Lick observatory, according to
kilograms received by Prof. Edwin B.
Prof. Philip Fox of the Dearborn OBJ
servatory. It's presence was unlocked
for and has caused not only great as.
constituent at present but also an in.
tense eagerness on the part of astron.
omers to see what further develop
ments the comet may offer.
Sodium is a common constituent
in comets" said Prof Frost, "but to
see it in Halley's comet, especially
after perihelion, is sign of unusual
internal activity which may result in
a striking display in the sky.
Shown in Comet A, 1910.
Comet A of 1910 showed the char.
acteristic lines of sodium vapor in its
spectrum, but for that comet there
was nothing extraordinary in this
With Halley's comet the case is diff,
ferent. Sodium is not vaporized ex
cept when the comet passes near the
sun or is itself greatly disturbed with,
in Halley's comet is comparatively
far away from the sun, and the vapor-
ization of the sodium therefore is
caused by intense internal activity.
IF the sun had had much to do with
it the sodium lines would have ap.
peared at the time of the comets near.
est approach to the sun. Now we
know that something is happening in
side the comet. What is going to
happen farther is something that no
one can prophesy. The comet may
assume strange shapes and show
considerable brightness. At any rate,
if the sodium continues to show in
the spectrum the color of the comet
will be yellow in greater degree
than it would be otherwise.
