UPPER MARLBORO. September l3. 1913.
William A. Miller of Surratts dis
trict Prince Georges county, who was
on the face OF the official returns i'm the
primary election Monday last, defeated
for the nomination for register OF wills
by George p. Hickey of Hyattsville, late
yesterday afternoon filed a petition with
the board of election supervisors ap-
pealing from the count of the judges and
clerks of election, and asking a recount
of the ballots in Bladensburg. Marlboro,
Nottingham, Piscataway. Spaulding,
Queen Anne, Bowie and Hyattsville dis
tricts. The official returns show that
Miller, who is at present register of
Wills, was defeated by thirty-two ma
jority, the vote being Hickey, 1,26O; Mil
Ter. 1928.
In his petition to the board of election
supervisors Miller claims that in some
of the districts ballots We're rejected
where the voter had marked for three
county commissioners. where but two
should have been voted for. The claim
is made that this invalidated the ballot
only as to the group OF county commits
sioners, and that the balance of the bal
lot should have been counted. The claim
is also made that in some instances the
Judges and clerks rejected ballots. that
were. in their judgment. improperly
folded, and that these ballots should
have been counted. The petition also al
leges, 1t Is understood. that ballots mark
ed with a blue pencil were rejected. when
the law does not specify any particular
style of pencil to be used.
Mr.. Miller accompanied his petition
with a bond for $500. to guarantee the
expense of a recount, but the board of
election supervisors deemed this made
quate. and asked Judge Fillmore Beall
to Ak the bond at $500. The judge
thought $500 would cover the probable
expense but Mr.. Miller, prior to the
judges departure from Marlboro yes
terday evening had not filed this bond.

here that as soon as complete tranquility
has been restored in China this American

be resumed and that this reported en-
gagement CT German army officers is only
a preliminary step to that end.

encouraged in every way as one potent
means; Saf guaranteeing the integrity OF

Plans Largely Carried Out.

These plans contemplated the manufac-
ture in China Of modern war material.
not only heavy artillery. but shoulder
pieces and machine guns. foreign machin-
lists ard artiticers being employed to in
struct the Chinese workmen. and these
plans already have been carried into eff
feet to a large extent.
Impressed with the success of the Jap
anese army in the great struggle between
Japan and Russia, the Chinese deter
mined to recast their military orsaniza-
ton upon japanese models and as step
in that direction employed a large num-
Der of Japanese officers. veterans OF the
war with Russia, to organize and drill
the raw Chinese leyies. Likewise with
the intention OF developing a navy. ne
gotiations were begun with the State De-
partment in this country and preliminary
arrangements were made for the )oan to
China OF a number of American navy
officers on technical long leaves of abb
Sence.
This latter plan was never put in ex
