RECOUNTS TO Be
BEFORE ASSEMBLY
Governor Blocks Attempt of
Democratic Claimants to
Bring Mandamus Action.
APPEAL Is THREATENED
Dunno Refuses to Submit Himself to
the Jurisdiction of Springfield
Circuit Court.

Recount of the ballots in the dis
puted legislative election cases wa:
practically assured yesterday wheI
the mandamus proceedings threatened
/ by the democratic contestants against
! Governor Dunno fell fiat.
Governor Dunno refused in Spring
field to waive the issuance of sum
mons and submit himself TO. the juris
diction of the circuit court. The gov
ernor said that, while willing that the
courts should settle the case, he would
| take an appeal to the supreme court
/ if writ of mandamus were issued
| Such an appeal would stay the pro-
ceedings indefinitely and make it use
| less for the democrats to attempt the
court action.
Appeals to Lucey.
II. w. Masters. attorney for the
democratic contestants vino were de-
clared elected by the state canvassing
board after the local canvassing bodies
had decided in favor of their republi-
can opponents, appeared before both
Governor Dunno and Attorney General
Lucey.
Mr. Masters asked Attorney Gen
a
ernor that the latter make an immed-
late court decision possible by agree
ing to waive his statutory rights. Mr..
Lucey said he would not volunteer any
such advice to the governor, but would
give an opinion on any point of law
involved if the latter asked for it.
Austin Terms Dunno Fair.
The matter then was presented to
Governor Dunno. The governor re-
fused to grant the request. Myer ].
Stein, attorney for H. w. Austin, re-
publican contestant for the senate seat
from the Twenty-third district, de-
clared during the arguments that Gov
ernor DUNES action of last week in
not giving certificates of election either
to democrats or republicans and pass
ing the contests along to the legisla-
ture was fair to both sides.
The mandamus suit was not filed in
court as a result of Governor DUNES
stand and probably will not be. The
legislature will be forced to order a
recount of the ballots in the one house
and two senate contests.
Baldwin Denies Fraud.
Percival G. Baldwin, republican con-
testant for the senate seat from the !
Eleventh district, issued a statement

Burglar Steals Valuable coins.-A
society" burglar called at the resi-
dence OF w. II. Schroeder between the
hours OF 4 and 1880. There was no
body home. but this did not deter the
criminal, who opened door by means
OF convenient skeleton key. The
burglar inspected the house from cell
lar TO garnet. During his rounds he
discovered some old coins, OF price
less value. and helped himself. He
also found a silver watch, which was
appropriated for his own use. After
remaining q short time he decided to
depart without awaiting the return of
the family and paying his respects.
Incidentally, he forgot to leave his
card. When Mr.. Schroeder reached
home he discovered evidences of the
visit and promptly notified the police.

Palmer Damage Suit Dismissed
After pending in court for several
months the damage action OF the es-
tate OF ID. d. Palmer against the son
of the latter. DR.. b. J. Palmer, head
of the local chiro school. has been dis
missed in district court. The notice
of dismissal was filed by JOY NJ. Loban,
who Is administrator of the estate.
The action grew out OF the death OF
d. D. Palmer. and the estate had ask
ed for $4,000 damages against the
son. 1t was claimed by the plaintiffs
that the aged Or. Palmer was struck
by the automobile of the son during a
chiro parade in Davenport. 1t was
also claimed that no effort had been
made on the part of the defendant to
avoid the accident. In addition to the
civil matter a criminal action was
brought against the defendant, the es-
tate asking for an indictment against
him on the charge of criminal negli-
gence This came before two grand
juries and the last time the jurors re-
turned a scathing report against the
instigators, threatening to conduct an
investigation against them and limiting
at personal prejudice as the motive
for the action. With the dropping of
this matter it is believed the plaintiff
found the other matter weakened. DR..
Palmer is at present out OF the city.
but when the school was called by tel
ephone, Frank W. Elliott, who is bus
mess manager of the institution, said
that it was the first he had heard of a
dismissal He said that DR.. Palmer
had made every effort TO push the
suit to its conclusion and that no set
Element was made by him.
