MUNN'S OPINION
County Counsel So Says in Let
ter to County B0ard'of
Elections.
SOLE RIGHT IN HANDS
OF THE DISTRICT BOARD
Decision Given. Notwithstand-
ing Previous Ruling Of State
Secretary in Instructions.

In reply to an opinion asked for by
the County Board Of Elections, County
Counsel Joseph L. Mum today rules
that no challengers shall be permitted
in election booths on primary day. as
was the custom heretofore.
Mr.. Mum rules that under the law
of 1903 the primary election for all
parties is placed wholly in charge of
the district board of election.
Members of that board. the opinion
adds. have the sole right to challenge.
notwithstanding the different view
placed upon the law in the "Instruc-
tions to Election Officers" issued by the
secretary of State.
Last year Mr.. Mum gave similar ad-
vice to the county board, but later mod
flied his opinion and challengers ap-
pointed for the respective political or
ganizations were permitted to serve
The opinion OF the county counsel In
full is as follows:
II think that the act passed last
year and approved April Is, 1909, does
supersede the act of 1908 SO far as the
primary elections are concerned. It is
difficult to understand hoy the explicit
language of that act can be given affect
without understanding that previous
legislation on the subject Is superseded.
That act provides that the members of
the district board of elections, divided
into two sections, according to party
connections, shall conduct-the primary
elections Of such party and shall have
sole charge OF the ballot boxes Of said
party and shall have the sole right to
challenge voters offering to vote the
ticket Of such party as in the act pro-
vided.
Primary Elections.
1T further provides that all mem-
bers OF said District Board Of Regis
tration and Elections shall conduct the
primary elections in any other political
party than the two leading political
parties holding the primary elections
under this act. 8
II am aware that In the Instructions
relative to the duties Of officers and
voters. complied and printed under the
direction OF the secretary of state, q
different view is suggested. but / fail
to see how these instructions have
been revised to correspond with the
act of 1903 hereinbefore referred to.
II think 1t is entirely competent that
your board should send to the district
boards of registration and elections a
copy OF this opinion. with request to
act In accordance herewith

DR.. WICnMAN
IS NOW CHARGED
With MURDER

RENO, Oct Following the dis
covery of the charred human bones
of a child in the ash PAN under the
kitchen stove in the private sanitar-
ium run by Mrs. J. A. Talbot, DR..
F. H. Wichman was this morning
formally charged with the murder
of Mrs. Emma Russ.
From San Francisco comes the in
formation that Mrs. ]. A. Talbot
has made a clean breast of her part
in the affair, and as she was pres
ent at the time the remains of the
child were burned in the kitchen
stove and was also present when the
operation was performed upon Mrs.
Emma Russ which caused her death,
the case against the doctor appears
to be particularly strong.
Following the serving of the war
rant charging murder DR.. Wichman
was taken out of the city prison and
placed IN the county jail. Chief of
Police Burke and District Attorney
Woodburn left San Francisco to-
night with Mrs. Talbot in custody
and will arrive. here tomorrow morn
ing. When the bones of the infant
were discovered they were gathered
together and taken to the office of
the county physician where they
were laid out in the shape OF
skeleton.
They were subsequently sealed
and boxed by Acting Chief of PO-
lice Buchanan and captain Of the
state police and placed in safety

sent to Boston for museum ex-
hibit of a male child for compari-
son at. the trial.

LISBON, Oct. S-President Braga
and associates began activity today
and put into practice some of the
principles which they have prom
ised shall be the bulwark of the re-
public. The first step was the pub
lication of an official decree order
ing all religious bodies in Portugal
to leave the country within "a
hours. Almost at the moment the
decree appeared Marquis de Vana-
baul was placed under arrest, upon
the charge of having sheltered men,
bers of religious bodies, and having
concealed nuns in his home. Sol
diers have been stationed in the vi
cinity of religious establishments to
prevent attacks upon them by mobs.
Minister of Justice De Costa has is
sued a decree ordering the release
of persons detained by the monarchy

societies. The hosting of the Brit

SLOT MACHINES
ARE in DISPUTE

Attorney General Stoddard is busy
preparing an answer to the letter of
District Attorney Tilden of Esmer-
aida county regarding the status of
slot machines under the new anti
gambling act.
The county official writes asking
if slot machines are to be barred
from use and prohibited the same
as roulette wheels, faro layouts and
crap games.
The long missive dissects the law
and seems to show that such ma
chimes as are used in saloons and
tobacco shops for coins in the slot,
are not included in the devices that
are barred.
Mr.. Stoddard will give the matter
careful attention and will file an an
swer to the district attorney today
or tomorrow. Apparently there is
no doubt as to the intent of the
legislature that passed the law, but
whether they made specific mention
of devices that cover slot machines
is undecided.
