ELECTORAL VOTES
MUST Be HURRIED
If States do not Have Them
in by January ~, They
Lose Vote.

Washington, Jan. 2O.-In order To
comply with the law 1t will be neces-
sary for all the states to get their
electoral returns to Washington by the
beginning of next week The require.
ment is that all the returns shall no
in the hands Of the president Of the
senate by Monday. January 81, and a
warning was sent out today from the
Office Of the president OF the senate
that If the reports were not received
by that date the states failing wouid
be In danger of losing their votes.
Up to the close Of business last
night only fifteen states had reported
by messenger and thir.y-five by mali.
Those reporting by messenger are;
Connecticut. Delaware, Illinois. Indi-
ana, Iowa Kansas. Maryland. Nebras-
ka. New Jersey. North Carolina,
Pennsylvania. Rhode Island. South
Dakota. Vermont and West Virginia.
Al! others lack only week Of being

Not only does the law provide that
states failing to get in their votes

messengers to lose that mileage pay

Washington. This is Is cents per
mile. one way. and Is a considerable
item in cases Of men coming from far
distant states. Tho imposition of PEN
alties is optional with the presiding

PLANS CHANGED
Artificial Island at Chesa.
peake Bay Abandned, and
New Project Formed.

Washington. Jan. 30.-As q result
OF report made at the army war
college. plans for tho proposed forti-
fications at the mount Of Chesapeake
bay have undergone some important
alterations. On account Of the in
creased range Of modern armament
and the increased draft Of vessels the
idea Of making an artificial island at
the entrance Of the bay has been
abandoned and It now Is contemplated
to move the Notifications to Cape
Henry.
The latest project will provide for
the construction Of emplacements for
eight l2-inch mortars, four l2-inch
rifles and four 6-tnch rifles, the nec-
essary mining structures and fire con-
troll and searchlight systems. at an es-
timated cost of $l.901.700. It also is
planned to quarter troops for these
guns at Fort Monroe. VT. at an esti-
mated cost for quarters Of 100000.
and to transfer armament from less
important points at a cost Of $50. 900.
It also has been suggested that on
account Of the increasing power OF
naval vessels which might attack the
fortifications, 1t would be advisable
to mount 16-inch guns instead Of 12-
inch and that mortars Of the model
being constructed for the defense Of
the Panama canal should be provided.
The total estimated cost Of the pro-
feet, along the lines now being con-
sidered. would be $3.6l4.700. II the
project is realised the Potomac river
garrisons and fortifcations in the vi
cinity Of Baltimore probably would
be abandoned.

TEST CASES Will
Be DECIDED SOON
Look for Supreme Court An
swer on Federal Gov
ernnent Liability.

Washington. Jan. 20.-Test cases
involving the liability of the federal
government for flooding by levee con-
struction of some $7.000.00 worth Of
land along the Mississippi river. are
expected to be decided by the supreme
court OF the United States tomorrow or
within the few weeks succeeding.
The claims now being urged are for
the flooding Of lands on the east bank
of the Mississippi river near Vicks-
burg. Miss. 1t is urged that the gov
ernment Is responsible because 1t con-
structed levee on the opposite bank
Of the river and adopted the foothills
back of the east bank plantations as
new bank for the river.
The test cases are brought by two
women, Mrs. Matte ]. Jackson and
about 100 plantation owners depend
upon the outcome. If the women are
successful, the others will demand
that the government pay them the
value Of their lands.
The destruction claimed to have
been worked by the floods due to the
new levee, Is described In detail in the
Jackson case. Since the construction
began, 1t is claimed the land has been
flooded ten times. the tenants driven
away. the 100 acres Of land covered
with sand and salt from six inches to
six feet deep; houses and cabins car
ried afteld and fences swept away. all
rendering the land unfit for agricul-
ture.
The government contends that the
levee complained Of was built to close
the famous Bougere crevasse, which
opened during food in 1850. and
finally increased into a gap twenty
nine miles long. The object Of the
levee, the government insists, Is to aid
navigation by using the confined wa
ters to cut deeper channel.
The government denies 1t haz
adopted the east foothills as a river
bank. It is also urged that the levee
is a part Of a system. constructed not
only by the federal government. but
by states and communities and hence
the government alone cannot be held
to have taken" the property flooded.
The court of claims decided in
favor of the government in the Jack
son case and in the Wigwam planta-
ton case. brought by Mrs. Hughes.
The only victory for the women was
that Mrs. Hughes was allowed $780,
900 for the taking" Of her Timber
Lake plantation, which has been
hemmed in between new levee and
the river by the federal government.
Previously the plantation had been
protected by state levee in front of
1t. The women appealed to the su-
preme court on the rain cases and
the government appealed on the TIM
