FAIL IN LIST or ELECTORS
Committee Finds Technical Cause For
Turning Down the Annexation But
Goes on Record in Favor of Opening
of Streets Before Petition Returns.

The big territory to the north and
west of the city, known as the
Gonnermann, Zeitler and Barth subdi-
VISIONS, containing territory of more
than sixty acres, will not be annexed
to the city without a contest. This
was shown at the meeting OF the com
mon council on Monday night when
the committee on judiciary sent re-
port to the council holding that the
petitions asking for the annexation of
the large tract of territory did not con
tain the signatures of a necessary num-
Der of the electors in the territory
although it had a top heavy list of the
property owners and tax payers.

that for this reason they could not be

the report against favorable action on
the proposed annexation. The chair
man stated, however, that this was
only technical objection and that the
committee had gone fHrther into the
matter and were advised that large
portion of the people living in the ter

Late Returns Show Changes in Michi-

st. Paul, Mimi, April 8.-Prohibi-

the fourth class, according to returns
late tonight.
Madison, Marshall, Luverne and
towns of southwestern Minnesota, en-
tered the dry column by small ma

pointed to this achievement as a great
victory. The campaign in this sec

Reports had not been received late
tonight from several cities that voted
for the first time on the license ques

ton, however, turned the tide in
number of other places, carrying them
to the wet" column.
The state law gives towns the right
to pass on the question of Sunday ball
games. At Hastings, a member of the
Nebraska State league, the result is
in doubt. Broken Bow voted strongly
for Sunday ball and to remain "dry".
On the license question the surprise
of the day was the result at Falls

VICTIM GETS OFF WITH SCRATCH
Both Men Are Arrested After Fight in
Saloon and Javaltos Urges Claim of
Self Defense and Claimed That He
Himself Had Been Stabbed First.

Peter Javaltos, the boy who killed
Otto Langenbach here last July and
who was arrested in Racine on Sunday
night following a cutting affray in one
of the saloons there was net held ON
a serious charge by the Racine police,
and after an investigation of the facts
in the case, Javaltos was arraigned
before Judge Shielding in the muaici-
pal court on charges of assault and le
was sentenced to pay a fine of $25 and
costs with an alternative of thirty
days in jail.
Javaltos alleged self defense and dis
played in court a. scratch on his hand,
which he alleged that he received IN q
fight before he drew his KNIFE Peter
Dukdros, who was stabbed by Javaltos,
was also in court. He had been
charged with assault, but after laval
tos pleaded guilty to the charges
against him the charges against the
other man were dropped.
The story of the assault as told in
court indicated that Javaltos had been
drinking in the State street saloon and
he had been quarreling over payment
for drinks with Dulzdros. The witness
es to the battle declared that the as
sault was an unprovoked one, but ia
valtos declared that he made an effort
to get out of the saloon and that Duk-
dros came after him and cut him on the
hand supposedly with knife. The
wound which Javaltos inflicted on Duk-
dros was not serious one The in
jured man walked from the saloon to
the Office of a doctor in the neighbor-
hood and was later taken to st. Mary s
hospital, where a couple of stitches
closed up the wound. Later, he walked

Paris, France, April S.-The ques.
ton whether Joseph Caillaux, former
minister of finance. may be charged
as an accessory of his wife in the
assassination of CASTOR Calmette, edi-

The publication of the testimony Of

the land had been laid out in such a
way as to block number of the streets
in the big Rice Park district. -Four
streets in this distrc ct come to dead
end at the south limits of the property
proposed to be annexed. The senti.
ment of the council against the annex
alton of the property without provision

streets was plainly shown and tbs city
clerk was directed to notify the petit
TONERS that the council would not con
slider a petition for annexation until
such time as the property owners had
made provisions for the opening of the
streets through the property to be

The complaint of property owners IN
the adjoining territory is that thew
were forced to pay for the opening Of
the streets as far north as the subdivi-
sions now seeking annexation and that
hey should not be forced to contribute
further to secure the continuation of
these streets. The property owners
have not indicated what stand they

would be difficult to change them. It
is probable that the opening of The

pensive proposition for the city at

Cannery Boat Leaves 78 Chinamen, Who Refused To Go On Ship Un-

United States Marshal Brenneman received wireless this morning from Nushagak that the Peterson cannery tender had sailed from Bris. tol bay, leaving 7S Chinamen on the beach because they refused to board the ship until it had been properly provisioned and enough water taken aboard to insure the large number of cannery help from starvation and thirst on the trip south.
 The Chinks were left stranded on the beach and have nothing to eat and may scatter into all parts of the northern country foraging for food. The men were employed at Peter sons cannery and the owners and managers of the cannery have a bad name to the westward and have been charged with abusing the men em- ployed during the summer at the can nery.
 The marshal has taken up with tAe Department of Justice the best method of aiding the Orientals.
 The cannery boss and the men connected wit. the leaving of the cannery help on the beach may be arrested upon the arrival of the ship in San Francisco, especially if the facts are borne out as stated upon investigation.

Germans Keep Shipping of Atlantic.

Germans Keep shipping OH Atlantic.
 OTTAWA, Aug. 29.-With only three cruisers, the Dresden, the Karlsruhe and one other small cruis- CT, the Germans have bee nable to tie up commerce on the Atlantic and no British ships dare make the run across the ocean unless conveyed by British warships.
 Germans Secure Plenty of Coal.
 The German ships are securing plenty of coal from German vessels sent to meet them from the United States and South American ports. The British cruiser Suffolk caught the Karlsruhe loading coal from the North German Lloyd steamer Kron- prinz Wilhelm on August 14 and the German boats took to their heels, leaving their small boats in the sea. The Suffolk, which is a heavier but slower boat, was unable to catch either the collier or the cruiser, al though the British cruiser called on the Bristol and Berwick to join in the chase The Bristol was able to come on the Karlsruhe, but could only engage her for short time, when the Kaiser's boat again turn ed and ran, fearing the other Eng fish ships might come up.
 Scour Seaa for German Boats.
 The fourth cruiser fleet of the Brit ish navy and a fleet of French fast cruisers have been hunting for the German ships for three weeks, but without success and the reports are received of captures of some British and French merchant vessels by the German boats.
 Must Soon Be Caught.
 The admiralty officers state that it is only a question of time when the superior British and French boats will be able to engage the German ships, especially as a number of fast English ships are now on this side to take up the chase and trail the German boats until brought to bay in a fight.
