 The petition for the writ of man. damus was brought by the Citizens Party because its members believed that at the election held in 1908 they were not allowed their full rights as a party and that many votes cast at that election were not counted, and that Democrats and Republicans who were not voters were allowed to vote. while members of their party were not. The election at that time show ed 1,560 votes for the Republican candidate, 1902 for the Democratic and 1,245 for the Citizens. The party at the present time say they included more than one-third the voters of the city and that there are over 1000 names on their primary list
 James H. Rooney and William Lounsbury, local registrars of voters, were interested spectators at the hearing.

 MUST DIE ON
 THE GALLONS Court of Criminal Appeal Decides There Is No
 Ground for New
 VI Trial Not Likely Any Power Will Prevent Execution of American Doctor Set for Next Tuesday.
Special from United Press }

London, Nov. 5-Dr. H. H. Crippen, the American doctor who murdered his wife, Belle Elmore, the music hall singer, must die on the gallows. The court of criminal appeal, consisting of Justices Darling, Channell and Pick ford, after hearing the arguments of Crippen's attorneys and the Crown representatives. this afternoon decided that there was no ground for a. new trial
 Crippen heard his fate calmly. though his usually ruddy face was white as chalk and his twitching lips showed the suppressed emotion he was under. It is probable that Crippen will be ex- ecuted next Tuesday, unless the Home Secretary interferes, which is consider ed most unlikely.
 Crippen had evidently expected the dismissal of his appeal and had steeled himself to receive the verdict. When it was announced that no new trial would be granted, Crippen stood up- right, making no sound, and was es- corted from the courtroom, showing that he had resigned himself to his fate. Under a strong guard, Crippen was placed in a prison van and driven at once back to Jail. During the ride he sat with his head between his hands uttering not a sound.
 -Crippen's attorneys announced that their next step would be to ask the Home Office either to commute the death sentence to life imprisonment, or to grant a pardon to the prisoner. It is considered most unlikely, however, that any power will now intervene to save the prisoner.

FIVE TEAMS TIED,
 IN BIKE RACE
Especial from United Press. )


 Boston Nov. 5-When the riders in the annual six day bicycle race at the arena. took the track, at 12:30, this morning, for the last 10 hours of the grind, five teams still were tied for first place, with LIZA miles and 6 laps to their credit. The second division was only one lap behind, while the Scheller-Jokus pair were only one lap behind the seconds.
 Today was scheduled to see the most sensational sprinting of the week to break up the tie. If the five leading teams still are tied at 10:30 o'clock, tonight, they will be called from the track and the second division teams left on, to fight it out for the six, seventh, eighth and ninth moneys. Then the big train will go and ride for one mile to decide which one will be entitled to the big mon- ey purse.
 Though frequent and sensational sprints marked last nights racing, neither the first nor second division riders could gain a lap. JokuS and Scheller got back two lost laps. The Bedell brothers led in the speed spurts but the bunch held tight to them through their sensational riding The score at end of the 50th hour showed the teams of Kramer and Moran, Fogler and Collins, Wiley and Lawrence, Wright and Palmer and Hehair and Goulette tied with 1124 miles, laps; Walker and Mitten; Be- dell and Bedell, Demar and Williams and Thomas and Mccarthy tied with 124 miles, 5 laps, and Sheller and Jokus 1,124 miles and laps.
