Returns Are Delayed

Latest returns indicate the possibility that the conservatives will carry the lib- eral stronghold, Pinar Del Rio, but noth- ing can be possibly determined until the receipts of full official returns, which are coming in slowly and probably will not be completed until tomorrow.
 The conservatives contend that this policy of delay is deliberate on the part CT the administration. The extreme close ness of the vote may lead to protests in the contests at various places and in this lies the danger of delay in officially re- turning the results
 There is no question of a conservative triumph in Havana and province Or der has been maintained throughout and there is little prospect of any disturb ances The rural guard and regulars have full control of the situation and the capital continues under military occu- patton. A heavy rainstogm tonight cleared the streets of crowds, but the troops are still patrolling.

MAJORITY OF MARIO
 MENOCAL SLENDER
First Reports of Sweeping Victory Are Not
 Borne Out

Havana, November 2.-The sweeping conservative victory of Gen. Mario Memo cal and Enrique Jose varona, conserva..ve candidates for the presidency and vice presidency, respectively, which was in dicated by the reports from all parts of the island last night and this morning. appears not to have been realized, &C., cording to the returns which came in later in the day.
 Although the adherents of Alfredo zayas, liberal candidate, continue to claim victory, there is little doubt tonight that General Menocal has been elected. but by a slender majority-probably not moro than 62 of the l15 members of the cleo pral college.
 The conservatives claim the provinces of camauey Santa Clara and Havana. conc eding Matanzas to the liberals, who also claim Oriente and Pinar Del Rio. The vote has been very close.

MAY RESULT IN
LONG LEGAL FIGHT

A long legal fight in connection with
the action of the Gary city council re
ducing the saloon license fee from $500
to 5000 is expected and according to
one attorney interested the scrap may
last six months.
The battle is expected to begin when
the Gary saloonkeepers associat ton
mandates the city clerk to accept S200
as the license fee. This he refused to
do. A private ruling given out by the
attorney general holds that the coun-
ell has no power to slice down liquor
fees once they are established. So II
the clerk would accept but 5000. 1T Is
claimed that his bondsmen would be
held for the balance should the $500 fee
be sustained by the courts.
Some sensations are promised by the
Anti Saloon league when the county
commissioners meet next Monday. In
the meantime 10 Gary saloons whose
license expired May 1 continue to re
main closed.

brought with her the story that the
rector will not be in shape to take up
active work for at least a year. Physi-
clans at the sanitarium say that some
days he Is fit for work. but that his
health is In such a state that he is un-
able todo any continuous duty.
Father Marsh came to Gary as priest

CITY OFFICIAL IS
ON THE WARPATH

City Sealer Frank O'Rourke this
morning went on the warpath against
ice cream dealers, who are supplying
their customers with dangerous brand
of ice cream. In the case of the deal
ers he has given them so many notices
that he will bring about prosecutions
Immediately where he finds any evil
dence to warrant a prosecution.
His attention was called this week
to what appears to have been ptomaine
poisoning. due to ice cream. The mem
bers of the family of Park Superintend-
ent Peter Fox were all taken violently
i'll last Sunday. so much so in fact that
medical attention was required and the
only cause to which their Illness could
be attributed was to ice cream, which
was bought at a dealers place and TAX
en- to the home.
"As nearly as can learn. the sick
ness in the Fox family was due to ice
cream. / am going to make an inves-
tigation of the place where the ice
cream was bought and if / find that
the dealers were at fault through their
negligence they will be prosecuted. The
ice cream dealers in Hammond have
had sufficient notice to keep their
places clean and to be careful of what
thye sell. and at this time of the year
there is no excuse for such condition,
said City Sealer ORourke.

ADDITION

William Ahlborn, the well known
Hammond contractor. has purchased
the Pochman addition which surrounds
Douglas Park. He bought the prop
erty through the courts. There are
eighty-three lots in the addition which

Mr.. Ahlborn thinks that this property
will be very saleable in few years.
The deal was closed a few days ago.
Most of the lots are fifty feet in size SO
that the sale really involves consider
able property.
Mr. Ahlborn would not have taken
the property had he not been able to
get 1t for such low figure that he felt
he could carry it for a number of years,
If necessary.
The fact that 1t Is located on two
sides of Douglas Park is. however. a
big point in Its favor and will make II
exceedingly desirable for residential
purposes.

of reprisals on the Roosevelt camps of
delegates in Illinois, Pennsylvania and
Oregon were made today by the Taft
leaders here as a result of the mix up

Unless the eight delegates -at-large

obviously Roosevelt men, and elected
by a trick in the law are turned over
to President Taft in view of his carry

challenge of the fire department boys
with reference to match baseball
game between the two departments.
The challenge has come to us indi-
rectly," said Captain Hanlon, but we
are willing to take it up with this
stipulation. that each side put up 8
forfeit sum, say S25. to show that il is
in earnest about the game. Last sum-
mer we had the same kind of a chal-
lenge from the fire lads. and we went

DISCUS STREET
LIGHTING PLAN

Ornamental street lighting, such as is
used in all progressive cities was the
principal subject for discussion at a
meeting of the East State Street Boost
ers' association last night. and the
plans that were discussed seriously
shows that there Is no piker spirit
among the business men there.
While it is the plan of the organiza- :
tion to erect ornamental lights every
fifty feet on each side of the street from
Sohl street to Holman street, at the
expense of the property owners. ii is
very likely that the Holman street
business men win want to get in the
band wagon, especially II, as was in
directly suggested last night. that the
cost of the lighting is to be betrayed

cost of putting in a post will cost ir
the neighborhood of sixty dollars If the
plans submitted last night are accepted
Each post is to have FIVE globes
