VOTERS
To Get Five Ballots At Next
Election

Mt. Vernon voters will receive five
separate ballots when they enter the
pools next November. They will con-
tain respectively the municipal. town
ship, justice of the peace, board of
education and the constitutional con
vention tickets.
The operation of a new law makes
it necessary to have the justice OF the
peace tickets separate from the others.
Township, municipal and the board of
education ballots must also be separ-
ate.
Not only must the constitutional
convention ballots be separate but
they must not snow to Whit party any
of the would-be delegates belong. More
than that they must rotate to that the
order of candidates on two consecu-
tive ballots is different. This plan was
adopted to take the selection of dele
gates out of politics and to prevent
the instruction of illiterate voters,
by INSCRIPTIONS persons.
The board OF elections will issue the
petition blanks to candidates about
July /. The Socialist and Prohibition
parties which do not participate in
the primaries are not compelled to
furnish the board of election with
their tickets until Is days before cleo
ton. This requirement frequently de-
lays the competition of the printing of
the ballots until the very day on which
the law specifies they must be deliv-
cred to the Office OF the board.

ASKS VERDICT
OF ACQUITTAL.
DiegeI Claims Truth at Variance
With Evidence.
PROSECUTION RESTS ITS CASE

Fails to Show Through Senator Haas
Of Delaware That Indicted Senate
Employe Had Asked Him to "Fix
Up" Story to Be Told on Witness
tone Stand Up and Are Identified
by Detective.
Columbus. o., June 27-After the
prosecution in the Diegel case had
rested, Attorney Mattern for the de-
fense moved that the court instruct
the jury to return a verdict Of not
guilty, The alleged grounds on which
Mattern based his motion are: First.
that the prosecution of Diegel is an
enfractment to which the government
or state is a party; second. that there
is fatal variance between the truth
and the testimony offered and be-
tween the charge in the indictment
in alleging that Diegel assisted An
drews in soliciting a bribe from F.
s. Harrison, when the latter admits
his name is F.. H. Smiley; third, that
there is a total lack and failure of
evidence to show that Diegel eided in
conveying messages and arranged
meetings between Senator Andrews
and F. s. Harrison.
As Told In Hotel Room.
The story of the transactions in
room 317 at the Chittenden hntel on
April 27 and 28 when, it is charged,
Senators Huffman. Cetone and An
drews and Rodney ]. Diegel, senate
sergeant-at-arms. accepted brbes
from Detective Frank Harrison Smi-
ley, as heard over the dictagraph in
room 316. was related to the jury by
Stenographer Roscoe R. Walcutt.
AS Walcutt admitted he had never
heard the voices of the men address
ed as Diegel. Andrews. Huffman and
Cetone before he referred to each in
his testimony as "a voice" He was
allowed to use Smiley's name, how
ever, as he swore he could recognize
his voice.
Walcutt admitted that at times he
couldn't catch the conversatio1 going
on In the adjoining room on account
of passing vehicles. but his testimony
was substantially the same as that
given by Detective Smiley last week.
Senator w. e. Haas OF Delaware
county was called to the stand by the
state and interrogated as to whether
he had been asked by Diegei to "fix
up story with him" to be told at
his trial.
Admits Numerous Conversations.
Haas admitted divers conversations
With Diegel since Diegel was indict-
ID, but denied that he had been ask
I'd to tell anything other than the
ruth at his trial. Detective Smiley
vas then recalled by the state to
Identify senator's to whom he claims
he gave bribes in connection with the
Cetone-Whittemore insurance bill
Senators Andrews and Cetone then
came into the courtroom. Pointing
to Andews, Smiley said "That man
was introduced to me as Senator An
drews, and gave him 5000 bribe."
Smiley also identified Cetone in the
same way. Senator Huffman being
out of the city, the defense admitted
that Smiley would identify him.

WOULD PREVENT
ANY WASTE OF GAS
Beasley Thinks Regulation Is
Now Necessary
TALKS OF FAYETTE GAS
Says II IL Proving Great Thing for
Town and Is Drawing Up Measure
for Protection of This Ma
tural Product

Montgomery, February Especial
Enactment of law that will make il
crime to permit useless waste of the
natural gas of Fayette county is one
! of the endeavors of State Senator
| Beasley who Is now drawing up a
measure to suit the needs of his sec
ton. The senator speaks in glowing
terms of what is being accomplished
in Fayette by means of this natural
product and concludes that legal pro-
lection of the product is Imperative.
He says:
1.-THE people of Fayette county are
enjoying the use of natural gas for
commercial and domestic purposes and
in this respect are more fortunate than
any other county in the south out
side of the Caddo fields in Louisiana,
and east of the Mississippi river.
That there is an abundance of
natural gas; that the field is proven;
that it is of a superior quality, and
a wonderful economy in the industrial
life of community is now accepted
without question.
From reports of experts and the
opinions of the best practical gas men
from every section of the United States
1t is shown to be unauestionably a
petroleum gas, and therefore, has the
highest percentage of combustion OF
any natural gas known.
THE people of Fayette were for a
long time pessimistic. and were afraid
to accept the situation as meaning
rn ~.
convinced.
I'VE organized a small supply COM
pany and are furnishing the town with
gas, which is being used for heating,
cooking and ligh ting the streets, as
well as the homes. and for general
Ing power at the oil mill. fertilizer fac
tory and other plants.
1T dispenses with ashes. dust and
the trouble and annoyance of building
fires, thus taking half the burden off
the housekeeper.
1--WE sell 1t at 10 cents for CONNER
cial and 80 cents for domestic pur-
poses, and even though we pay IA
cents per 1000 cubic feet for it at the
we'll we are making money. The in
dustries of the town use 1t at saving
of more than so per cent of the former
cost of coal and labor and every man
in reach of our mains Is anxious to
connect so as to use 1t in his home
In an industrial way it will build up
our town. Property values have in
creased greatly and various small in
dustries are seeking locations. Glass
and pottery works are prospecting the
clay and brick manufacturers are in
vestigating for sites. Cotton mill men
from New England are also looking
into the situation.

for more than a year and are as strong
today as when first discovered, even
though millions of feet have been per-
mitted to escape"
