INCOMES URGED AS MAYOR
Tammany Men Favor National Chair man and Ask Murphy's O. K.
 Good Politics.

New York, May 26.-William F. Me Combs may become mayor of New York, instead of ambassador to France.
 J. Sergeant Cram, member of the public service commission, and a Tammany man, was asked for his comment and said
 MT. McCombs will receive the en- thusiastic support of all Democrats who want the party to be successful at the polls.
 Influential men in Tammany also have for some time been discussing the advisability of taking matters into their own hands and forcing the selec- ton of a man not tained with ma chine politics.
 It would be, they say, fine stroke of politics for Charlie Murphy to prove he is an up-to-date leader and not a boss by advocating the nomina- ton of man like MT. McCombs, thereby winning the backing of the national administration, which he lacks. and rehabilitating himself in his own organization.

CHAMPION FIGHTER KILLED
Luther Mccarthy, Heavyweight, Dies After Being Knocked Out
 By Pelky.
Calgary, Alberta, May 26.-Mc- Carty died as a result of the blow which knocked him out.

Calgary, Alberta, May 26.-Luther McCarth, claimant of the white heavy weight pugilistic championship of the world, was knocked out in the first round by Arthur Pelky, protege of Tommy Burns The blow which put the so-called champion to sleep was landed near the heart.
 McCarty was 10 to : favorite in the betting when he left his training quarters for the big open-air arena where he defended his claims against Pelky. The odds, after jumping nerv- ously about all week, settled to that figure, with but little open gambling on the result.
 Early trains brought a crowd of ring followers into town. They absorbed the fight seats that had not been sold, and when the two heavyweights en- tered the ring Burns open-air arena, seating about 1000, was filled.
 Pelky is half an inch taller than Luther, has a longer reach and out strips him in every measurement ex cepting the biceps Each man weighed 205 pounds.

 WARD THE WEBB LAW.
BRITISH LEAN TO JAPANESE
French Papers Minimize Danger, but Condemn 6ryan's Diplomacy England Urged to Stand
 by Japan.

Washington, May 26-Probably as result of the anxiety in official cir cles in Japan over the condition of the emperor, no instructions have been re- ceived at the Japanese embassy to make the expected further representa- tions to the United States government regarding the California alien land act.
 The new law will not go into effect until August 10, before which date 1t would not be possible to bring suit, and for that reason the negotiations appear to be losing some of the fea- lures of urgency that characterized the early stages.

Paris, May 6.-Interesting discus sion of the American-Japanese situ- ation Is made by the Journal des De- bats and the Journal in which the probability of war growing out of the present state of affairs is stated as not being credible.
 The Journals comment isNnot fa- vorable to Americas side of the con- troversy. It condemns Bryan's diplo- macy as demagogical, and Californias action as a serious affront, imposing a humiliating ostracism upon a proud people.

SUIT 6|VEs SUN s2 000,000
BOY WAS ADOPTED BY WIPES
 SECOND HUSBAND.
Suit and Boys Name Is Restored Legacy From Grandfather.

New York, May 26.-Henry Whar- ton Shoemaker diplomat, poet, broker, owner of many newspapers and re- puted to be several times a million aire, won his suit in Seattle, Wash, against his divorced wife, Mrs. Bea- trice Barclay Shoemaker Perry, and her husband, Dr. Richard Perry, for the annulment of their adoption of Shoemaker's 5-year-old son Henry.
 Mir Shoemaker did not seek custody of his son. He merely asked that the youngster cast off the name of Perry and resume his rightful name, Shoe maker. The purpose of this, the ia. ther's attorneys said, was to enable the boy to inherit s2,000,000 from the estate of his grandfather. Henry F. Shoemaker, railway man and financier.
 The changing of the boys name back to that of Henry Francis Shoe maker, Jr., which he was christened in honor of his grandfather, was decreed by Judge Walter M. French after a very brief hearing.
 The elder Shoemaker, who, before his retirement from business, was as sociated in many undertakings with P. Morgan and Edward H. Hartman, was reported years ago to be suffering from a mysterious malady. He is now extremely feeble" his son says in the Seattle petition.

British Veer to Japanese.

London, May 26.-The powerful English organs just appear to be awakening to the possibilities of the alliance between Great Britain and Japan and to the sentiment which the British colonies would hold in event of war between Japan and the United States.
 Although it believes the possibility of war breaking out or of Great Brit sin being party to 1t through her al- liance with Japan to be vague, the Spectator declares:
 We doubt whether the empire could survive such an outrage to the feel ings of a large and important part of its white popula ton
 The Sunday Review urges Great Britain to stand by the alliance with Japan, because America is working for supremacy in the Pacific on lines that are unfriendly both to Great Brit ain and Japan"

NASHVILLE, Dec. 1S.--voting ma

the near future, Mayor Hilary E.
Howse having stated on Wednesday
that he was inclined to favor the use
of such machines, and that he in
tended to make an investigation for
the purpose of determining whether
or not it were feasible to inaugurate
the use of them in Nashville It was
his purpose, he said, to write to cities
where voting machines were used to
obtain information in regard to them,
and 1t is considered probable that he
will recommend that set of them BE-
purchased for use in elections here.
/ In New York and number OF 9th

in use for years and have proved
highly satisfactory They are regard

BILE to ascertain the vote of each can

the polls. On account Of the print

hours frequently elapse before the
vote of the several candidates is as
certained. In the recent democratic
primary election the counting of the
ballots In the second ward was not
completed until $3.50 o'clock, although
the polls were closed at s O'Clock the
previous night, and the ballot boxes
and tally sheets were not delivered
to the committee until 16:15 o'clock
Had voting machines been used there
would have been no counting Of ballots
to be done, and machines would have
shown sthe number Of votes given te
each candidate.
In addition to the absolute accura

been found that candidates have beer

in use It will be impossible for
crooked man to take the ballots on
