City Precincts Report
that Voters Are Negligent
in Registering This Aft
ernOOn.
LEADERS FEAR
ELECTION TROUBLE
County Auditor Bowman Is
Assisting the Boards with
Removal Certificates Of
Voters.

Reports from the registration boards
throughout the city and county indi-
cate that full vote in Wayne county
will not be polled this year Leaders
fear there will be considerable trouble
on election day caused by voters who
will attempt to vote despite their fail
ure to register.
Although a fairly large number of
voters registered today in the various
precincts in the county, small per
cent of the total number of voters had
failed to register up to o'clock this
afternoon.
In the precincts in the outlying
townships the registration was light,
farmers being busy at this time of the
year and unable to visit places for reg
istering
City Registration.
In Precinct No. at the court house,
sixty voters had registered up to 2
o'clock today, making a total of 1876
registered. The total vote in this pre-
cinct is 250. In precinct No. 9, 532
South Sixth street, eighty had regis
tered, making total of 1856; total vote
210. In precinct No. IA, 2O5 North
Eighth, forty-five registered, making a
total of ITO; total vote, 200. In pre-
cinct No. 21, 4O1 South Eleventh, fifty
registered, making a total of 200: to-
tai $50. In precinct No. %, 1887 Main
street, forty-seven registered, making
a total of 1876; total vote 226.
one-third of the total number
of voters in the county registered at
the first registration day, May Z, and
about one-third registered on the Sec
ond day, September 6. The cost per
voter was averaged at about forty-sev-
en- cents. The cost this time proba-
bly, will be less.
Up to late hour this afternoon no
petitions had been received for the
registration boards to remain open to-
morrow. 1t is likely, however, that
some of the boards will receive petit
tions before closing this evening.

eral counties, in assisting voters who
had failed to procure transfer certif-
Gates. In some counties the county
auditor issued a statement to the eff
feet that those voters who had regis
tered and then moved into another
precinct could secure certificates by
going to the registration board in the
precinct where they registered; pro-
cure necessary information from reg
istration books required in certificates,
have the statement signed by registra-
ton board. and then take the state
ment to the county auditor, who would
issue the certificate.
What is believed to be a safer meth

at the request of Will Robbins, Charles
Beck and Paul Comstock, county chair
men of the Progressive, Democratic

Auditor Bowman is going from one

transfers from each precinct. His eX-

county organizations.

sprang a surprise in the federal dyna.
mite conspiracy trial today by chang
ing his plea of not guilty to one of
guilty when court opened. District At,
torney Miller during his long address
to the jury had outlined an alleged
trip of Clark from Cincinnati to Day
ton, where a railroad bridge over the
Miami river was blown up. Following
the explosion an umbrella handle with
the initials "E c." was found in the
vicinity. Miller had declared that
Clark had placed the dynamite under
the bridge with his own hands and
had covered it with the umbrella be-
cause it was raining at the time.
At the opening of court today Clark
suddenly stepped forward from among
the other defendants and faced Judge
Anderson in silence.

"If Your Honor please, said District
Attorney Miller, this defendant, Ed.

"Is this true?" asked the court OF

THAT is true" replied Clark.
A deputy marshal then led Clark

strong belief that others would follow

home, 1908 East Main street, this city

fathers retirement in 1896, and will
be continued under the name of w. o.
NJ py JOAh L. Via loiu
The original site was one block west
of it's present location but it has long
occupied the present building.
The history of this local business in
stitution is co-incident with that of
the city and the fact of it's continu-
ance through the many years of its ex-
istence on practically the same basis
as that upon which it was founded.
despite the revolution of business
methods, is notable.
Mr.. Crawford, who was seventy-six
years of age, was born two and one
half miles north of this city in 1885,
his parents having come to this sec
ton from Baltimore short time prior
to his birth. the Crawfords being an

associated with his father in busi-
ness for a number of years, and Her
bert NJ. Crawford. Also by two sisters,
Mrs. Agnes Williams, Of this city. and
Mrs. Edward Worries, of Los Angeles.
