the heaviest vote of its history. accord

of l.2l9.545 a total vote of 961,6h, or az

number break all records, but the news
papers now claim that it has more voters
than any State west of the Mississippi.

more men registered after women are
given the vote than in any previous year.

CITY'S HOTEL LOSSES
FIFTY NIGHTIES A DAY
New York Civil Service Commission
Investigating Their Disappear

New York. Dec. 19.-Graye allegations
as to the management Of the Municipal
Lodging House has been made at the
hearing into affairs Of the municipal
civil service commission by the State
civil service commission in the Municipal
Building.
Walter ]. Sloane, formerly acting stew
ard in the city's lodging house. testified
that Superintendent W. A. Whiting. of
the lodging house, dismissed him and or
dered him from the ONCE when he in
sisted in conducting an investigation into
the disappearance of several dozen night
shirts that had been bought for the lodg-
ers the day before.
Sloane said that the argument about
the nightgowns arose when he found that
fifty nightgowns q day were disappearing
from the lodging house. Commissioner
Kingsbury, when notified Of this. ordered
that twenty-five dozen he bought. After
these had been bought and the number of
nightgownS counted, It was found that
there were 500 IN the place. The next
day a careful count showed that there
were but 10.
