A s1oo VOTE

Charles Wilson is probably the expensive voter in the United States He lives on the Isthmus on Cata lima Island, off the coast of California He is twelve miles from Avalon, the only town on the island He the only voter in his precinct The state primaries approaching, and Wilson claims the right to vote
 The state is going to accommodate him. Three citi- will be sent by launch or stage from Avalon to the ishmus and with Wilson they will constitute an election board. Then Wilson will vote, and the board vill add up his vote and certify the return
 That ballot will cost the state of California $1OO. And its probably worth the money Any state in tho Union could well afford collect the same price from citizens similarly jealous the exercise of their franchise
 It's queer, though, how prizes his ballot when it's troublesome and expensive and ignores the primaries when there's voting booth open right across the street

SULzER ACCUSES
BOSS MURPHY
OF zLEMENT-SAYS TAM.
MANY BOSS DID NOT RETURN
$4,000, AS SUPPOSED.

New York, Feb. 26.-Charles F.
Murphy, leader OF Tammany Hall,
did not give back the $4,000 cam
paign contribution of the late An
Ebony N. Brady in 1912, as Murphy
said he did, according to the sworn
testimony Of William Sulzer, depos-
ed governor of New York.
Sulzer, a witness for the second
time at the John Doe inquiry into po-
litical graft, testified Murphy had
told him he turned the $4,000 over
to the democratic committee, He
added that Murphy said he had also
fixed it" so it would be represented
in the committees list of campaign
contributions under the name OF a
dummy. This is the $4,000 which
Sulzer said was first offered to him
and which he refused to accept.
Murphy in a recent public state
ment said he had given the money
back to Brady. He probably will be
called in the near future to tell his
story under oath.

CLAIMS TO HAVE $3.50,

A. f. Bisson Receives Foreign Letter
of Same Stamp as Many Others
Which Have Found Their Way Here

A letter pleading aid, the writer
having been cast into prison and a
clipping apparently from a newspaper
and purporting to be an account OF
the same has lately been received by
A. f. Bison 1t bears the date oil
Madrid and is strikingly similar to
many which have already been receiy-
ed by different persons in Maine. In
The document to which the writer
signs himself Soloyien, Mr.. Bisson is
requested to help Soloyieft obtain a
sum of S4S0.000 which he claims to
have in America, but to do this he re
quests that Bison go to Madrid. and
pay certain sum of money for the
expenses of the writer's trial and TO
recovering a certain bag, within which
is the document necessary To recover
the sum in America, Mr. Bisson is
promised $3.50 900 as a reward.
1t is needless to say that Mr. Bis
son will not carry the matter further.
1t would seem, however, from the
long continued practice of letters be
ing sent out in this manner, that
there must be an occasional unsus-
pecting person who responds to the
entreaty.
