That this country is in danger OF the
spread of bubonic plague to a most seri-
GUS extent is said to be a fact and the
situation is commanding the attention of
experts in two departments of the gov
eminent.
The biologists of the department of
agriculture and experts Of the public
health and marine hospital service have
information that the plague situation on
the Pacific coast is one calling for The
utmost care and precautiOn and that
otherwise the disease may spread indef-
initely.
Biological survey is a factor in the
situation for the reason that it Is said
the disease is being spread by ground
squirrels which carry feas which dis
/ seminate the disease.
These squirrels are being killed off in
a number of counties of California but
the work will be ca11ied ON to a great
er and more thorough extent than at
present 1t is proposed to take NO chances
and leave no loophOles through which the
disease can work its way eastward.
The disease was earned to tho shores
| of California by rats. These rats. it is
| said, carried fieas and the feas, bear
1 ing the germs, have carried the disease

eral Wallace f. Randolph. retired, for
mer late chief of the Coast Artillery

of the coas artillery corps, and was
one Of the most popular officers In the

the artillery post at Fort Riley, Kas.
During the Spanish-American War

corps, in which capacity he served I'M
til January, 1904, when he was retired
as a mator-general, since which time
he has made his home in Washington.

LAKEWOOD, Dec. 9.-Harry New
man,v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS when seen
this morning. said he had nothing new
to give out just at present, as he was
afraid an announcement Of what was
accomplished at the two meetings held
at his office yesterday might defeat the
ends of justice. He is working in the
interests of Low. but he says thai
neither himself or Low will now rest
satisfied with Just proving the ballot
boxes were stuffed, bat that they will
bring the guilty parties to justice.
1t has been stated by friends of New
man that he has In his possession now
positive evidence of the guilt of one OF
the parties who perpetrated the fraud,
but was holding back from having him
arrested Immediately in hopes that he
can apprehend all three of them, as 1t
is now conceded that it was that mum
Der who are implicated In the theft.
To make everything doubly sure
Newman has arranged to get an afh-
davit from at least zoo of the voters
in the east Lakewood district who cast
their vote for Low; this he asserts
Is very easy to accomplish as very
near that number now has been to his
office and signifed their willingness to
take such an affidavit.
1t was learned his morning that the
detectives on the case, in conjunction
with Prosecutor Brown, are at the
present time bending all their energies
toward finding out where the ballots
that were taken out of the box were
disposed of; also they are trylng to
hnd out where the suffers proourei
the tickets that were put into the boxes
in place Of those taken out.
This has been one of the main ques-
tons asked. as ii was given out on the
dav of election that all sample ballots
were used up about 4 O'Clock that ait
ernoon, and it is asserted that persons
interested In the election tried to pro-
cure some from the polling booths, bu'
that H, S. Grant, who had charge OF
the tickets at the time, refused to give
out any except the n to a voter
as ne appeared to vote, and further
William T. Mason, who had charge o.
the Town Hall, where the voting was
done. claimed that he cleaned out tins

If this is the case the detectives no"
on the case say 1t will be an easy mat
ter to ascertain 1t. -.

GOV. FORTS SECRETARY
SAYS Go. P. WILL AID LOW.
[special 10 the NewaIk star.

TRENTON. Dec. 9.-Leslie r.. Fort,
secretary to Governor Fort, who is a
resident Of Lakewood, in discussing the
recent recount in Ocean county, which
resulted in the election OF Senator
Mathis. said today.
The result of the recount in Ocean
county Is by no can satisfactory to
most Of the citizens OF Lakewood,
where gross errors were found in the
ballot-box which vas used in the sec
ond district on election day. Up to the
present / have heard no say that
they thought Senator Mathis was in
any way responsible for the tampering
with the box, u the broadcast kind of
statements are being made by resi-
dents not only of Lakewood, but of the
whole county, as to who they believe
did the work.
1T is the general belief that after
the election someone took "A lot of bal
lots which a remained in the hands
of the election workers and strung
them in the same manner that the
election officers string the ballots on
election night. Whoever this was,
after ~stringing these ballots, secured
access to the box, which had beer
lldAcu III ne baoFiil'l " TIC IpNi
Hall, snd opened the same, taking a
number Of ballots which had actually
been voted from the original string
filed by the election officers and very
carefully placed them on the duplicate
string. While [ have not personally
seen the ballots which We're found In
the box at the recount. ] have it from
reliable sources that n large number
Of them arr new ballots which have
rot been handled in n way and ara
not even soiied, as n ballot would
be If it had been handled by a voter.
Some OF them have not even the second
fold IN them. which would be neces-
sary to place them in the envelope for
voting.
"The belief in Lakewood is that Sena
tor Mathis applied FOR the recount after
being urged to do so by someone who
had made the change in the bailot-box
