FITZGERALD ELECTED
BY l4l5 IN BOSTON
Wins MayOraIty Despite Graft in
Previous Administration.
CITY CASTS LARGEST VOTE
First Trial of Plan For Non-Partisan
Municipal Elections Designed to
Choose the Best Men by Elimis-
ating Party Feeling.

Boston, lIass LIN the first trial of
the plan fer non-partisan municipal
elections which was designed to
bring about the choice of the best
men by eliminating party feeling
ex-Mayor John F. Fitzgerald was
elected Mayor of Boston by plural-
ity of 1415 out of total vote Of 3d.
35S. Although he had been defeated
for reelection two years before be-
cause of revelations of graft among
his subordinates and was opposed by
every newspaper in the city, he de-
feated James J. Storrow, ex-president
of the Chamber of Commerce and
candidate Of the reform forces;
Mayor Hubbard, elected as reforms
er two years ago, and Nathaniel H..
Taylor, newspaper editor.
1t can be said, however, that the
vote was non-partisan, for both Fitz-
gerald and Storrow were Democrats,
while Mayor Hubbard is q Republic
can. and most of the votes were cast
for the first two.
The figures given out on the May
orally vote at the City Hall are:
Fitzgerald 47,172; Storrow. 49,
757; Hubbard, 1916; Taylor, 613;
Fitzgeralds plurality, 1926.
The count of the vote on the new
City Council of Nine proceeded very
slowly, on account of the care taken
with the Mayoralty vote. The re-
form forces declared that they were
leading. but Alderman James M. Cur
ley, whose popularity has increased
since he served a jail term for per-
Jury, is the high man.
David A. Ellis, chairman of the
School Board, defeated his opponent,
Mrs. Julia A. Duff, by at least 10, 105
votes.
The city went for license by ma
jority of 81 ,122, the vote being: Yes,
majority for license was IL 1888.
A record total vote, 95, 358-more
than eighty-four per cent. of the total
registration--wa cast The largest
previous vote was cast in 1905, when
Mr.. Fitzgerald was first elected
Mayor, the total then being 92,994,
of which Fitzgerald received 44,171.
Under the new charter the ballots
bore no party designations, but only
the candidates names and street adj
dresses. All nominations were made
by petition, 5GGa names on the petit
tons of Mayoralty candidates.
Both sides made extraordinary eff
forts to get out the vote, and it was
almost impossible for man to leave
the residential wards without casting
ballot. One aged man sent word
to the Storrow headquarters that he
was bedridden, but wished to vote.
Men with an ambulance were sent to
take him to the polls. Reuben Burn
ham, Of East Boston, who passed his
one hundredth birthday in November,
went to the polls. Hundreds of auto
mobiles, cabs and carriages were
pressed into service.

PASS WHITE SLAVE BILL
House Adopts Bennett SABBATH
Measure by Viva V0ce Vote.
Federal Measure Provides Drastic
Penalties For Those Found Guilty
of the Horrible Traffic.

Washington, D. C.-By viva yoce
vote the House passed the Bennett
SABBATH white slave" bill.
The white slave" bill is the result
of an investigation of traffic in alien
women, made by the National Immi-
grafton Commission. Provision is
made for the deportation and excIu-
sion of immoral aliens, and for the
exclusion and punishment of their
procurers Traffic in immoral women
becomes subject to the restrictions of
interstate commerce laws.
immigration laws are amended so
as to exclude persons who are sup
ported by or who receive proceeds
from the traffic in aliens, and pro-
vision is made for the criminal prose-
cution of persons who shall harbor
aliens for immoral purposes. Any
alien inmate of disorderly house,
and any alien who in any way assists
such an inmate, are made liable to
deportation at any time after their
entry into the United States.
The measure makes it crime pun
ishable by fine of not more than
$1,000 and imprisonment for not
lGOIS LuoL1 tcA years AOI duJ pSTSOH
to procure ticket for any person to
go from one State to another to en-
gage in prostitution.
The latter provision aroused Wig
orous protests from many members
of the House, on the ground that 1t
was unconstitutional, in that it was
an infringement of the police powers
of the States.
Advocates of the bill contended
that such traffic between the States
was clearly one Of interstate COM
merce, and hence subject to Federal
regulation.
