CANVASS ELECTION
 RETURNS IN TEMPE
City Council Holds Busy Session
 Counting Primary Votes

Responding to call issued by Mayor Birchett. the Tempe council held d special session on Monday evening. The meeting was called to canvass the votes cast in the prim- ary election on Friday, the 24th. The councilmen took hold of the matter with good will and spent the larger portion of the evening in the council chambers checking up the work of the election board. The re- suits found by the canvass were the same as reported by the election board and their findings were sus- tained. The count had been correct, there was no change in the original report.
 The council had wished to canvass both the returns of the primaries and of the bond election on Mon
 day evening but found the same city fathers will be unable to get together until May II to complete he task before them. The canvass ing Of the returns of the sewer bond election will not occupy much time in itself but there are many duties attendant upon it. On the 11th he council will probably consider the first steps toward the making up of the assessment list and arrange oth- CT preliminary matters The sooner they get the first steps off their hands the sooner they will be free tO proceed with the actual work of letting contracts and supervising the same
 Beyond this matter the council Will probably not take mp any other business until on the evening of the 14th. the regular monthly meeting night. Then the monthly accounts will be audited and the regular rou- tine of business will be disposed of

FLOWERS AND SPICES ANTI
 SEPTIC

The odor of cloves has been known to destroy microbes in thirty five min utes. cinnamon will kill some species in twelve minutes, thyme in thirty five minutes. In forty five minutes com mon wild verbena is found effective, while the oder of some geranium flow - CTS has destroyed various forms of mi crobes in fifty minutes. The essence of cinnamon is said to destroy the typhoid fever microbe in twelve min utes and is recorded at the most ef- fective of all odors as an antiseptic. It is now believed that flowers which are found in Egyptian mummies were put there more for their antiseptic pro- perties than for merely ornamental or sentimental purposes.-London Globe.

JOE TINKER CLAIMS FLAG. Other Chicago Managers Doubtful
 Over Their Chances.

Reports from the managers of the three Chicago teams find only Joe Tinker leader of the FeGerals, defin- itely claiming a pennant. Manager O'Day of the Nationals and Manager Callahan of the Americans were op- timistic over the. chances of their teams to finish among the foremost. but were conservative in their predic tions.
 O'Day declared that the cold. wet weather since the Cubs left the ex- treme south had seriously set back their general condition and had un- done much of the good which their sojourn in Tampa had accomplished. The Nationals leader. however, fig ured his team would be first, second or third at the end of the season.
 Injury to Larry Chappelle. who was expected to be star of the American league and a great help to the White Sox in their fight this year, has put 8 damper on the hopes of Callahan. Chapelle will be out of the game for some time, it is fear ed and it Is doubtful if his under study. Jacques Fournier, who was hurt in a practice game. will be able to start. Catcher Daly, whose hitting makes him valuable. has been playing in the outfield, but is not considered a first class gardener However, it seems likely that Callahan will be forced to play Daly or go into right field himself.
 Tinker believes his pitchers will win the Federal flag for him. but does not underestimate the services he expects to get from his fast infield.

 He has agreed to have Stephen F. Coffee of The Bulletin a stake holder
 Luke Riley has agreed to umpire all games between the above teams. It was also agreed that the winners will take all the gate receipts instead of 75 per cent. and 25 per cent as formerly agreed.
 Before it was agreed to sell tickets for the games but the management thought it best to leave> the matter to the generosity of the base ball public.
 The opinions of base ball enthuiast has been equally divided as to which is the better team and betting has al ready begun in spite of the efforts of the management to discourage it.
 The arrangements are all completed and any changes will be published in due time. The batteries for the first games for the All Stars will be Houli- han. Houston and Walsh. For the Sachems will be Adams, Cranka and Mcintyre.

 Houses with Washington connection early in the day received advices re-
 garding the Mexican problem, which. as they were circulated in the street, provided the basis for effective snort selling. Another blow to the bulls was the announcement of the interstate commerce commission indicating that the freight rates decision would not be reached as quickly as had been look ed for recently. Still another factor on the bear side today was selling
