that he acted under Instructions from
his attorneys, Ballinger, Battle and
Tenant, the head OF which firm was
Richard A. Ballinger, former commits

The letter, written by 0. G. Larabee,
of Spokane, September 90, 1905. the
first promoter of the Alaskan rail

Chicago, ILL.,, April Judge Lands
hearing the case of Albert G. FroJ'
and four others, charged with Alas
kan land frauds, today ordered sub
poenas issued for George Turner, for
merly United States Senator from
Washington, and for Patrick NJ. Mul
len. The latter has testified already
but Turner is wanted as witness
because of Frost having testified to
being guided to some extent by the
acquiring Alaska coal lands.
Judge Lands action followed the
reading today of letter by the gov

ner had been instrumental in pre-
venting certain evidence from coming
before the federal judge in Seattle.

the alleged land frauds,
The letter which was written to
Mr.. Frost by H. o. Osler, member of
the firm of Mccarthy, Osler, Hoskin

was dated January 8, 1911, and read
Dear Frost:--I have just had a
conversation with Osborne. who has
seen Boland and as the matter is on.
in which a letter ought not be pro-
duced, he suggests that it is better
that I should write you, so the letter
might be privileged.
"Boland is informed from Turner'S
office by cipher telegram today thai
the charges against yourself, Watson
and Laberre are likely to be brought
before the grand jury at Seattle at
an early date.
"The banks are very much worked
up over this. as fight of this kina

RELIEF IN SIGHT
FOR CAIRO TO-DAY

Cairo, ILL.,. April Cairo had a
little respite today from its flood
scare due to the fact that the Ohio
waters We're at Il stand still from mid
night. The reading at that hour was
"a and If anything the gauge showed
a little less at Z O'Clock today. The
relief however, will only be tempor-
airy, it is said, as engineers gave as
the cause the passing of the crest in
the Wabash high water. The crest of
the Ohio river food waters is still
to come and it is expected that before
tonight the gauge readings will be
again in the ascendency Another
cause for the standstill was said to
be due to the vast volume of water
now flowing into the low lands OF the
drainage district it was reported that
the water is flowing over the big four
tracks in that section for distance
of threefourths of mile.
SECRETARY GARRISON is

VOTE poLLED BY CITIZENS
VOTE BY WARDS.

luore remarkable when one considers
that he had little time to make per-
scnaI canvas owing to his duties as
juror which kept him at the court
house for the past few days. He
ran ahead of his ticket in Ward i,
where he resides.
Mr. Dorman was the Progressive
candidate. Mrs. Weltmer, another
Progressive candidate, ran third and
received almost as many votes in her
ward. No. 3, as did Mrs. Bergere
who was the Republican candidate for
Ward g. Mrs. Weltmer made fine
run in Ward 4, Mrs. Palen's home
ward, and ran second" in that ward
az far as the vote for women was
concerned.
THE BATTLE-GROUND.
It will be evident by study of the
selection of candidates by wards, that
wards and were the battle-ground
Ward had three men candidates, two
to fight Progressive.
Ward 3 had three ladies', one Republ-
can to fight Progressive and Demo
'trat.
|, In Ward g the situation was not so
embarrassing. Mr. Sargent found
himself confronted by one man, Mar
oelino Garcia. In Ward 4, Dr.. Harri
son had the unpleasant duty of trying
tC defeat his much esteemed neigE.
lnr Msc. 7 1aI 4
voters of that ward gave Mrs. Palen
1862 more votes than DR.. Harrison re-
ceived. Perhaps Dir. Harrison enviei
even MI Dorman who had to run
against two popular men in his ward.
Mr.. Dorman made better showing
running 154 votes behind Mr.. Sena
and 143 behind Mr. Gormley.
Moral: Better run against TWO
men than ONE woman in school el-
eotion.
THREE LADIES IN WARD 8.
When women run against women,
the vote seems closer Look at the
figures in Ward 3, where three ladies'
clashed for supremacy:
Mrs. A. M Bergere, 231.
Mrs. Jacob Weltmer, 21S.
Mrs. J. w. Mayes, 210.
What the vote would have been If
one man had to try to defeat two
women in this ward remains to he
seen. Mrs. Bergere's friends express.
sGd satisfaction today that she polleG
231 votes in that ward considering
that she was confronted by two womea
on an opposing ticket.
AN ORDERLY ELECTION.
Every one today is saying what an
orderly election it was after all. It
may be true that some of the motor

voters to the polls. 1t may be true
that the laws of hygiene were viola
