Election proclamations.
81 have Just received your letter OF
the 2eth instant, in which you ask
what is the law with reference to the
publication of notices of election. and
whether or not the law requires that
such notices be published in the two
papers in the county having the larg-
est circulation, or Is publication IN
one paper sufficient. or sufficient II
published in the official and one
other paper with less circulation than
other papers in the county.
"The law on this subject will b.
found in Section ! Of Chapter 100,
Of the laws of 1909. That section re-
quires county commissioners, ten days
before the election, by public proc
lamation and by publication in each
Of two leading newspapers publisher
in the county, TO give public notice OF
the object of the election, etc. You
will see thai there Is no reference in
the statute to the matter of eireula-
ton of newspapers, and 1t would
seem that the entertainment of what
are the two leading newspapers in
the county is left to the discretion OF
the county commissioners. If there
should be any gross abuse Of that
discretion / know of no remedy which
could be applied except through puo-
lie sentiment expressed at the next
election when county commissioners
are to he selected Improper desg-
nation of what are the two leading

validate the election"
Rejected Votes.
Il have just received your letter of
yesterday. in which you ask me, in
substance, If the judges Of election
can prevent men from voting. al
though registered. If they know that
such men are less than 21 years Of
age, and also if a man has been a
resident in the precinct for only tea
DAYS can he be allowed Go vote?
IF any voter IS challenged. the
judges of election have power, if they
are satisfied either from their own
knowledge or from evidence present.
ed, TO reject the vote if the intending
voter lacks any of the qualifications
whether of age or residence. The
qualifications of voter are that he
must be a male citizen of the United
States who is over the age of p years
and has resided in New Mexico twelve
months in the county ninety days
and in the precinct in which he offers
to vote, thirty days next preceding
the election.
'sYou speak Of a man coming from
another county and being in the pre-
cinct only ten days. It might be the
case that man who Is a resident Of
the precinct and who has been absent
for sometime, may not have lost his
residence i'm that precinct and in That
case he would be entitled to vote, al
though he might have been tempo
rarily absent and actually in the pre-
cinct only ten days before the cleo
ton.
If any vote is rejected, the name
of the person offering to vote, if he
so desires, must be registered in the
poll book and the names Of the per
sons for whom he offers to vote and
the word rejected shall be written
opposite his name as provided In Sec
ton 1868 Of the compiled laws OF
1897"

RESERVES HERE
 REGISTER NAMES
Hungarians Do Not Expect to Be Called But Must Com
 ply With Law.
Local Colony Not Exercised and Do Not Credit Reports
 of Revolutionary Pledges.

Numbers of Hungarian residents of Bridgeport, reservists that are com pelled by a heavy penalty if they ne glect to do so at a time like this. have registered as a matter of course at the York, according to Nicholas Horvath, the merchant at 57s Bostwick avenue. whose store is the present center for war news in the local colony.
 MT. Horvath today stated that the registration was not matter of 1n- herent patriotism but rather an act which all reseFvistss in this country are compelled to comply with to pro- tect their property and families in Hungary. None here believe that they will be actually called back to the scene of fighting, yet in order to pro- tect themselves from later possible trial for treason, or forfeiture of property rights they are responding 10 the reg istration necessity
 ..ssI do not place much credence in the statement made by Louis Tareai of the Hungarian Daily Fibre that 100, 900 Hungarians in this country have pledged 10000, 900 for a reyolu- ton looking towards the de1berftion le1l of Hungary, said MT. Horvarth. Tt may be that a. few Socialists have pledged money for this purpose, but 1t. does not come from the average IHungarian resident. It would be inn possible to make the strike for lib erty unless the soldiers would support the cause. have not heard Of the pledges being circulated in this city.
 Joseph KoletaT, 409 Hancock avenue, another sprominent merchant or the ItWest End, and thoroughly acquainted with the sentiment in that section, believes the Hungarians now resid- ing in the old country, will fully pro- tect the F,atherland. He does not believe there %vi4 be an appreciable exodus from Bridgeport, even though a general call is made for reservists-; He scoffs at the declaration OF the New York editor that $10,000,000 has been pledged for the liberation of Hum gary by means of a revolution. He declares. in the present conflict, prom inent Hungarians of the old country have forgotten Politica1 affiliations, in ra1lying to the support of their coun- try.
 Andrew Duka, a prominent Hungar- ian druggist of 301 Hancock avenue, declares that in the present conflict political feuds have been forgotten, and that Hungarians in their own country will go to the defense of the dual monarchy. While some may not believe war is the best thing, there is not other course but to fight He does not believe many will return as those living in Bridgeport have become greatly attached to their adopted country
 John Kosa, 2s3 Hancock avenue. a considerable number of Hungarians are liable to respond to call to arms. Many, he declared, have registered at the consulate in New York.

ENGLAND .FORBlDS ALIENS TO HAVE
 ARMS OR MOTORS

London, Aug. 6--Whi1e most of the papers today counsel the courteous treatment of Germans who are com pelled to remain in England, the Daily Mail in an editorial urges a. vigorous application of the law controlling aliens, saying:
 There are too many Germans in England and unless they are kept un- der close observation their presence may be a source of great danger. Now that Europe is in arms we must not shrink from any measure necessary to preserve our national existence. These uninvited guests will consume food needed for the British poor and their maintenance will absorb funds that cannot be spar ed.'
 The alien restriction order, the leg islation for which was passed through all stages in the House of Commons yesterday, forbids alien enemies in the Kingdom to have firearms, explo- sives, automobiles and motorcycles without permission from the police.
 The Morning PostN proposed that England assume her rights of captur- ing all eargoes destined for hostile countries under whatever flag the ves- sel may be sailing.

Miss Zink And
 Friends In Berlin
 When Heard From

MT. and Mrs. George H. zfnk, Jr, Of 1921 Central avenue received word yesterday from their daughter, Miss Edith zink, who is abroad with her aunt, Miss Carrie Wolff and Miss Jane Smith, all of this city. The card was dated July 18th and was mailed in Berlin. The party had just learned that war had been declared between Austria. and Servia but did not think that it would interfere with their plans which were to go on to Marien- burg and thence to Stuttgart where they have friends. From Stuttgart they planned to go on to Italy.
 Their people in this city are hoping that the party entered Italy before the disturbance became so general but think that they may possibly be on the way home.
 Miss .zink is the popular English teacher at the local high school and Miss Smith is a teacher at Prospect school. Miss Wolff is also widely known.

PARIS FOOD PRICES
 ARE FIXED BY LAW

Paris Aug 6-Fsood remains p1enti- fu1 in Paris and prices have only, very slightly increased since the outbreak Of war. Meat and vegetables are the principal com oddities affected as re- tailers find difficulty in bringing them from the central depots. owing to all delivery wagons having been requisi- toned for military purposes
 Tn the great central market, there were large quantities of vegetables to- day and push cart dealers reaped a rich harvest as they had the advan- tage. over storekeepers, whose vehicles had been taken by the military.
 The principal wholesale prices to- day for sacks containing 220 pounds were: Potatoes and string beans, $6; i; dried beans, $4; spinach. $s; onions. $4. s Fruit and poultry, sold at less than the usual prices. butter was abundant but the price had increased. as the public, fearing a shortage. had begun buying quantities of 20 pounds The authorities today forbade retailers to Sell more than 100 pounds of butter to each customer and fixed the madynum price at A cents a. pound. Eggs also must be sold according to official tariff new laid eggs costing four cents each, fresh French eggs, thre cents each and other eggs 32 cents a dozen.
 The problem of getting in the har- vest has given concern to the minis try Of agriculture. which is consider ing a. scheme for replacing the men who have joined the army by training all children from 10 to Is years. of age in field work under the guidance of the old people.
