FALLS SIX STORIES
AND IS LITTLE
The WORSE FOR
THE ACCIDENT

While wheeling a load of con-
lrete in the new Tacoma CONNER
cial club building at the corner of
Eleventh and A streets, this morn
Ing G. Knutson, a laborer, fell six
stories down the elevator shaft,
but strange to say, is little the
worse for the experience. He
was taken to the Fannie Paddock
hospital where he was given med
ical attention but 1t is announced
that he will be out in short time.
Just how the accident occurred
cannot be learned, the Hurley
Mason company, contractors, re-
fusing to give out any informa-
tion. 1t is learned from men en-
ployed at the building that Knut-
son was wheeling load of ce-
ment from the temporary eleva-
tor, when it was prematurely
started with Knutson and his load
half off and half on.

SEYMOUR WINS BY 754 VOTE.
Close Election Puts MIR.
Seymour In
Mayor elect Has Difficult Task Before Him-Hopes
Are That He Will Make Good Official

w. w. Seymour is mayor-elect
over A. V. Fawcett by a majority
|of 754 votes.
1t was triumph mainly of the
wealthier class, over the poor and
moderately circumstanced. Ex-
ceptions were to be noted on both
sides. A summary of the ward
results show just what occurred.
Seymour carried the First, Sec
ond, Seventh and Eighth; Faw-
cett the Third, Fourth, Fifth and
Sixth wards.
The Fifth ward gave Fawcett
two to one and the Fourth and
Sixth wards gave him almost two
to one.
Practically 5000 voters did not
go to the polls at all, there being
1,716 votes cast out of 26,49S
registered.
The aristocratic precincts went
almost unanimously for Seymour.
The fifth of the First ward gave
him asa to 10; the eighth of the
Second 323 to 95 and the tenth
of the Second 2S5 to 35.
Fawcett's big precincts were
Fern Hill with 352 to 95 and the
ninth of the Fifth with 80 to "a.
The element of triumph became
manifest last night when an
lnouncement was made of the Sey-
mour victory. In a moment, a
great automobile parade half a
mile long swept the streets in
exu1tant jubilation. Millions in
wealth were represented in those
chugging, sputtering machines
that swept the city in glorification
of the occasion.
Seymour's Task.
Mr.. Seymour enters the mayors
chair backed by a majority of the
voters and with the hope of all
that he will serve the people well.
But he has the most difficult task
cut out of any man who ever en-
tered the mayoralty office.
He Is to follow a man who has
done much for the people, put
who. like Louie d. Campbell and
George p. Wright, when he be-
came active for the people was
driven out of office. He comes
into office through the solid sup
port of the saloon and vice ele-
ments and peculiar combination
of some church and some women
voters. He had the unanimous

D|Az READY TO.
MEET REBELS
HALF WAY
(By United Press Leased Wire

(By United Press Leased Wire.
MEXICO CITY, April 19.-The
necessity of immediate Mexican
congressional action on the insur-
rection vanished here today with
the fact that President Diaz and
his advisers started communicate
ing with Francisco Madero and
the revolutionary juntas In en-
deavors to arrange peace terms.
Consequently the bill authorizing
a new election will not be pressed
at the present time.
Minister OF Foreign, Affairs De
la Barra Is confident that armis-
tice will be arranged and he IN
sists that the government is pre-
pared to meet the rebels half way.
1t is believed the peace terms
will include President Diaz' resig-
nation within six months, the
naming of De Ia Barra as provfs-
ional president and a full revision
of the election laws.
Definite action on the peace
proposals submitted to VasquY
Gomez, head of the Washington
revolutionary junta, Is expected
soon. Prior to their arrange
ment, however, Minister De la
Barra probably will be summon

support OF the interests that have
axes to grind and he was backed
by an element of labor.
Mr.. Seymour says he IA for har-
mony but mighty indeed will he
be IL he can harmonic these con-
fiicting elements after election.
Corporate interests will soon be
at the city hall asking for granrs
that Fawcett would not give. II
Seymour yields, at least ten thoua
sand people or more will protest.
II he resists, the batteries of call
umny may be expected to be turn
ed loose against him.
With all the forces back OF
him, with all the opposition to
Fawcett largely because of family
troubles years ago Mr.. Seymour
managed to win by a handful OF
votes. All day long. hundreds OF
automobiles swept the city In
search of votes for Mr.. Seymour.
The Seymour auto organization
was too strong for the Fawcett
strength. But Seymour certainly
needed every puff of gasoline that
flew after votes yesterday.
Very Close.
A shift in the vote of AIT citi-
zens would have changed the re-
suit. One precinct could have
handed victory to Fawcett instead
of Seymour.
Mr.. Seymour must satisfy this
army of voters who were for Faw-
cett tenure or his term will be
short. No man can occupy the
mayors chair for six months and
not ALLEVIATE more votes than his
majority.
Those privileged interests ex-
pect to be taken care OF.
If certain labor leaders do not
demonstrate that Seymour means
to do big things for labor 1t Will
not only be awkward for Mr.. Sey-
mour but for his labor supporters
as we'll.
Then what about the saloons
and the churches? Certainly Mr..
Seymour cannot afford to offend
the church people. And Mr.. Sey-
mour realizes what happened
to Mr.. Fawcett as a result of Of
Tending the saloons.
May he prove a good mayor for
the people and may his staunchest
friends have no cause to regret
their. support.

battered the South Orange Field Club
pitchers on South Orange field yester-
day afternoon, and put another Easter
game on ice by q score Of 9 to z. The
Pennsylvanians had to play ten innings,
however, to accomplish the trick.
Although the weather was anything
but ideal for the exhibition of the ma
tional sport, still the game was played
in a snappy manner The triple play
came in the very first inning. and hap
pened this way: Captain Quinby, of

followed by Wright, who also hit clean

caught. The keystone man then ran
over to the third base in time to get

play. 1t was q mix-up. and had the
South Orange boys been wide awake
the play would never have happened.
1t was a costly mistake and might
have meant enough runs for a victory.
Although the Howarth aggregation
was defeated, still that does not tell
how good the contest was. The South
Orangeites made the ~collegians go the
limit to win. Geveral times the subur-
banites had a good chance to score,
but the opportunity was gone as soon
as 1t came. The strong wind, too, made
the judging of fly balls with any ac-
curacy impossible. and many of them
went for hits which under ordinary
circumstances would have been outs.
Several new faces were seen in the
lineup of the South Orange team yes

boy at third. looked good and clouted
