Incomplete returns from the several
counties in the second district indicate
the nomination of Frank f. Ellsworth
fol- congress. The vote gives him
about 200 majority over \. L. Ward
of Mr.. Ward, gave him o splendid
vote, his majority there being some
thing like 1906. His managers claim
l,4O0. Mr.. Wards majority in FarI-
bault county is reduced to 20 votes.
This is decided slump from what
was expected.
Blue Earth county gives Mr. Els
worth 400 ma jority. Watonwan gives
him 500 and over. Rock goes to Els
worth by over 200 and Pipestone is
his by at least 100. Murray is slated
at 200. Brown is - TO the good for
Ellsworth; Cottonwood gives the st.
James man about 800 majority and
Mobiles is said to be good for 30 OF -.
Jackson did not roll up the vote for
Ward that he and his friends had
been looking for.
Gratifying to The Free Press.
The splendid majority received by
Nh. Ellsworth in Mankato and Blue
Earth county is exceedingly crafty
ing to The Free Press. This news
paper has been All ardent, earnest and
loyal supporter OF Mr. Ellsworth and
at no time did it lose faith in his
cause.
Mr.. Ellsworth certainly has strong
friends in Blue Earth county, who
rendered him great assistance. This
was ii labor of love. His friends all
over the district were on the battle
ground all the time.
Pipestone county gave Ellsworth $50
and Ward 622.
The Slayton Gazette wires The Free
Press: Murray county unofficial: Ellis
worth, 602: Ward, 3s5." The Free
Press had figured on majority of 200
for Ellsworth in Murray county
Twenty-Five precincts out of twenty
six in Brown county give Ellsworth
JOG. Ward 3O5. The precincts yet to
be heard from will probably favor Els
worth slightly.
Will Not COncede Defeat
At noon today Mr.. Ward would not
concede his defeat. 1t was learned
from The Sentinel at Fairmont that
the Ward forces claimed Martin coun-
ty by one thousand majority. The
Free Press had conceded him 400 ma
jOrity and also 200 in jackson county
With this concession Mr.. Ellsworth
has won by about 100 majority. But
with the majority in Martin county
cut to 1000. Mr.. Ellsworth has lead
over Mr.. Ward of between $50 and
800

Seattle, Wash, May 12.-The
Seattle Electric Company's cars are
running as usual today, the county
has $167,O0O in delinquent, taxes,
owed by the company which they
had refused to pay, and the general
public is happy over an almost COM
p1ete victory over the street car
company.
After declaring a truce yesterday
afternoon until the question of
whether the company should pay in
terest on the back taxes, Attorney
General Bell ruled against the couu-
ty, declaring it had forfeited Its
rights to the interest by the seizure
of the cars. This means a loss OF
$4,000 to the county, but there is
now $4,000 in the treasury
which the treasurer had very nearly
given up all hopes of collecting.

THE COMET
WILL RISE
AT 2::3O A. M.
SALEM PEOPLE WHO SAW 1T A
FEW MORNINGS AGO SAY 1T is
WELL WORTH GETTING UP
EARLY TO SEE.
[uN1rnD PRESS 1hAspD w1nn.i


Berkeley, Cal, May 12.-The gy-
rations, rotations, revolutions and
other astronomic acrobatics of Hal
| ley's comet from now on until it
reaches perihelion, on May 1S, are
causing vast amount Of mental dis
turbance in the universities of the
world.
The recent feat of the astro-logi-
clans here is the announcement of a
time table with which the veriest
tyro may be able to flag the comet.
The comet is strictly an overland
limited" and no stop overs" are al
lowed. Those desiring to get a birds
eye view of the visitor must get up
early, or stay up late, some clear,
calm night.
In Southern California the earth
being who wishes to view the comet
must be on the job not later than
2:52 a. m. tomorrow morning, for
that is the time the comets alarm
clock is set for getting up, and it
never turns over to take another
snooze. In California, Nevada and
thereabouts, Halleys namesake ap-
pears at 1887 a. M, while in North
ern California it shows at 1885 a. m.
and peeks over the rim in Washing
ton and Oregon at $3.50 a. m. The
comet is of the progressive or insurg-
ent type, and never does the same
thing twice.
On the following day, May IA, pat
tering after the unwritten law of
railroads, it changes its time table.
Washington and Oregon early
birds get peep at the sky hobo at
2:34 a. M, Northern California at
2:4O a. m, California at 2:141 a. m.
and Southern California at 1855.
Briefly the following table holds
good for the comet to May IT, in
elusive, unless it fails to work:
Oregon and Washington, May Is,
2:42 a. M; May 16, 3:02 a. M; May
% GV a. hs
The comet crosses the suns disk
on May IS, and is invisible, because
it is outclassed by the sun in the
matter of brilliancy.
May 10 the comet becomes an ev-
ening star, but goes early to bed, and
is hardly seen because of strong twi-
light.
Setting time, Oregon and Washing
ton, May 10, 8:14 p. m; May 20,
9:15 p. m.
From May 21 to about May &c the
comet, if it does not slam us, will be
visible long after sunset, and will be
a gorgeous spectacle. 1t hurries on
its way, however, to play with little
Mercury or charming Venus, and
fades from view, except of those own
ing Lick telescopes, around May 20.

TAFT MESSAGE ON FRAUDS
Against Congress Investigation as
Favoring Guilty.
Explains 10 House Why He Is OD-
posed TO Action at This Time
Into Custom Affairs.

President Taft sent a message TO ths
House yesterday. explaining his reasons
for opposing at the present time Coa-
gressionaI investigation into frauds in thu

An inquiry by Congress, he said, would
hamper the administration in its Efforts
TO punish the guilty persons.
The danger OF granting immunity by q
Congressional investigation. he added. .s
serious one. The investigation OF
frauds in the weighers' Office, the PRESS
dent continued, IS almost completed.
The inquiries into the appraisers Of

probably be some months before this par-
ticular investigation IS completed Mr.,
