REPORT ON RALSTON
BY Coroner Shows He Was
Not Electrocuted.

Report of the autopsy performed
upon the body of Frank Ralston, who
fell dead on North Fifth street April
Is, was filed in the clerks office at the
court house today by DR.. R. ]. Pierce,
county coroner. In the verdict the cor
oner says that death was not due to
an electric shock, as was first believ-
ed, but was caused by hemorrhage of
the brain. The report says that a scalp
wound, an inch long and three-fourths
of an inch wide, was found over the
left frontal area. which in all proba-
bility was caused by the fall.
Ralston suddenly fell to the ground
while he was hitching horse to a
guy wire leading from pole, carry
ing primary wires of the City Light
plant and secondary wires of the
Light, Heat and Power company. 1t
was presumed that the guy wire which
he touched was charged and that he
had been electrocuted, but this theory
is discredited in the coroner's verdict.
The verdict on the death of Will
liam G. Burr, which occurred May /,
at his home 23S South Ninth street,
was also filed today. Death was due
to natural causes.

MOTOR TRUCK MADE
SPEEDY RUN TODAY
In Answering Alarm Goes
From Fifth to 18th St.
in ~ Minutes.

The new auto truck was given it's
first tryout this morning. At eight
thirty, the big machine was drawn up
in front of the city building, to take
the board OF works out for a testing
trip on some Of the hills when tele-
phone fire call came in. 1t was thought
the fire was reported at 100 South
Eighteenth street and the monster ma
chine was headed for that place. 1t
took just one and half minutes to
make the trip, the truck travelling thir
ty-fve miles an hour up Main street to
Eighteenth street. There II was dis
covered that the fire was at 109 South
Thirteenth street. but the blaze was
extinguished by the occupants of the
house before the wagons arrived.
Later the truck was taken to the
hospital hill which it obligingly climb
ed at the rate of 90 miles per hour
The big hill in the east part of the
Glen, which is terror to many auto
lists. was climbed at a good rate of
speed. and as a final test, the light
plant hill, the worst in the county, was
tried out and the big machine easily
sped up it Sharp turns can easily be
taken by the machine. although it is OF
extreme length Councilmen were taken
out this afternoon for spin south of
the city on the famous Beeler hill.
The board of works wants the council.
men to be satisfied with the machine
The board of works is ION the fence
about a driver for the new truck. The
appointment of some member of the
FIRE department to run the machine is
thought best, but the need Of an expe-
rienced mechanician Is also appreciat-
ed The board does not feel justified
In removing one fireman to make room
for an experienced auto driver This
matter will be decided later, but it is
certain that all members of the fire
department viii be required to know
how to run the machine.

Probably Only One-fourth of
the Voters of Wayne Coun-
ty Will Have Registered
by Tonight.
TWO MORE CHANGES
LEFT FOR VOTERS
Those Who Neglected Duty
Today Must Wait Until
the September or October
Registrations.

Up to 3 o'clock this afternoon ap-
proximately only twenty per cent of
the voters in this city and a small per
cent of the voters in the outlying pre-
cincts in Wayne and other townships
in the county had registered. 1t is eX-
pected that only twenty-five per cent
of the voters in the county will have
registered when the polls close this
afternoon.
1t is not known how many registra-
tion boards have received petitions to
keep open tomorrow, but unless the
boards receive such petitions, signed
by at least FIVE voters, the first period
for registration will close at 6 o'clock
this evening, and those voters who
have failed to register today will be
obliged to wait until September to per-
form this duty In case they fail to reg
lister in the September or October
sessions, they will not be permitted to
vote at the fall elections.
In the Sixth precinct, which is one
of the largest in the city, but one
sixth of the voters had registered up
to o'clock today. The total normal
vote in the precinct is 245. In the
Ninth precinct but 40 out of the 20S
voters had registered: in the Four
teenth precinct "a out of the 205 voters
had registered and in the Nineteenth
only As out of 225 voters had register
ed -.N.
County Auditor Bowman received nu-
merous inquiries today concerning the
registration. A large number of the
inquirers declared that they did not un-
derstand the law and asked enlighten-
ment upon 1t.
The registration in the townships in
the county, other than Wayne, was
exceedingly light, because the far
mers refused to leave their work dur
ing such good weather.
Leaders in the three strongest poll
tical parties are extremely anxious to
learn the results of first registration.
since the passage of the registration
law in 1911 by the General assembly.
In Wayne county particularly it is
believed the Interpretation of the law
has been given wide publicity.
Will j. Robbins, county chairman.
has attended numerous conferences
with party workers in an effort to find
the best method for informing voters
Just what action is necessary under
the new law. Posters have been placed
in conspicuous places throughout the
cities, towns and villages in the coun-
ty, and advertisements inserted in the
newspapers, still there are many citi
gems who have the most hazy knowl-
edge Of the new law.
