BELIEVE LESS THAN
10000 BALLOTS CAST
Expect Congress to Declare
Election Void - Generally
Thought Diaz and Requena
Ran Second.

MEXICO CITY, oct. 27.-At the
close of the elections Sunday the in
dications were that not sufficient votes
had been cast TO constitute legal
choice for the presidency to succeed
Gen. Victoriano Huerta.
No official announcement was
made Sunday night. but it was unoffi-
cialiy estimated, Judging from the re-
suits in the capital where it was ex-
pected the vote would be up TO the
average, that less than 10000 Of the
$4,000 eligible voters in the federal
district went to the polls. There are
said TO be more than 5000. 600 eligible
voters in the republic. 1t would be
no surprise If congress, the members
of which also were voted for Sunday,
declared the elections void, when that
body is organized and reyises the re-
turns

number. 10 10000. Gen Huerta
proposed such an increase some time
ago. but the congress which he dis
solved limited him 10 $4,000
Since the deputies and senators are
not subject to the election provisions
governing the presidential election it
is said Sunday night that the choice
FOR congress is assured. IL is assumed,
ON the showing SO far as known. that
the Catholic party will secure a ma
jOrity in both chamber and senate.
The polls were open from Q TO y

TO FIGHT WSTERN

Plans For Government Owner
Ship of Telegraph and TeIe-
phone Being Discussed
Heavy Load of Watered
Stock.
BY gibson GARDNER.

WASHINGTON, oct. 27.-Anyone
looking for cheap food will be inter-
ested in a bulletin just issued by the
department of agriculture, calling at
tention TO the value of cowpeas and
Kafir corn for human consumption.
Cowpeas have been raised in the
south extensively as fertilizing crop.
When they get big enough, the crop Is
plowed under. Kaffir corn is raised as
a fodder 1t now appears that Kattir
cornmeal is just as palatable and ex-
actly as nOurishing, as proved by
chemical analyses, as ordinary corn
meal. COwpeas are just as nouriShing
and good to eat as beans.
Kaffir cornmeal is worth three cents
a pound, while ordinary cornmeal
costs six cents and upwards. CowpeaS
can be bought by the bushel. The de-
partment publishes lot of recipes for
cooking and preparing these articles
for the table.
There is serious question in the
minds of. congressman who are pre-
pairing TO introduce legislation looking
to government ownership and opera
ton of teIegraphs and telephones
whether it will be best TO purchase eX-
listing lines, or construct a new sys-
TEN.
There is some consideration also be-
ing given to the purchase of the com
peting Postal system and using IL In
government hands against the Western
Union. Investigations carried on by
the Interstate Commerce commission,
and by Cong. Lewis of Maryland, and
others, reveal the enormous imitation
by stock watering of the Western I'm
ion properties.
This company is now capitalized at
more than $500, 900. Its original IN
vestment was $3.50, 600. In 1852 its
capital stock was 50 10000. In 1858
this had risen to S3S5,7O0. It's alb
sorption OF the Brownsville, Neb., 10
Salt Lake City telegraph line, gave an
opportunity for enormous stock water
ing. This line had originally cost IN
cash S147OO0. When the Western
Union acquired it, the absorption was
accomplished by issuing $2,OOOOVV
worth of stock, making the total
Western Union capitalization up 10
that time S3,Q0O,000, on an actual val
uation of something like 100000.
In 1863, the company cut a juicy
melon. A stock dividend of S3,OOO,OOO
was declared, thus increasing the pro-
portion of water to valuation so that
il stood at about five to one. Inc
same wear S1,67S. 900 of new stock was
issued to buv other properties, so that
by the year 1864 the total capltallza-
ton was $11,0OO,O00. This was all so
easily accomplished that the owners
decided TO keep on with the good
thing. In 1865 another one hundred
percent stock dividend was declared
raising the capitalization to $22,OOO',
900. In 1857 the capitalization had
increased to Sal, ,04e,0 600.
Bv1S95 the capitalization had reach
cd the enormous total of $95,OOO.O0O.
1t is estimated that at that time the
actual investments in the property rep
resening values was probably some
where around 100000. 600. The entire
plant could probably he duplicated
new for $20,000,OOO.

SOME Merry PLAYERS
Bresnahan Praises Men Who Can
Deliver When Needed.
Substitute Catcher for Chicago Cubs
Praises Frank Schultz, outfielder,

heart when he is asked to go to the
plate in the ninth inning with a man
on third and drive home the run that
will win the game. The other is the
player who refrains from pugilistio
tactics, but has a heart of steel, takes
q viselike grip on the bat and grlts
his teeth when the responsibility Of
scoring run is put up to him.
Bresnahan declares the first is the
easiest to beat in a game and the sec
ond is the fellow who makes compe-
tition keen all the time.
Bob Bescher. left fielder Of the Gin
cinnati team. struck Bresnahan last
year In the jaw, after a game Of ball,
because the fielder struck out in q
pinch when a long fly or a single
meant a victory. 1t was while dis
cussing this episode that Bresnahan
defined the two kinds Of nerve in
baseball.

FaIkenbsro's Secret.

The secret of the comeback of Fred
p. Falkenberg, according to the Maps
themselves, is his success in swearing
on on tobacco in all forms. For years,
up to the time that the Maps left the
southland for the north In the early
spring, Falkenberg was rarely seen
on the field without pipe or cigar
in his mouth, But on the jaunt north
he had bunch to cut out the tobac-
co. and now he is advocating the
anti-nicotine habit to all the other
members Of the Cleveland team.
Fred claims he is getting stouter and
attributes 1t entirely to his anti-to-
bacco rule.
