dell. Saturday morning. in deep dis.
gust after listening to the testimony
Of Andrew Yuhosz. who had peti.
toned for divorce.
Andrew told story that sounded
like the scenario of a farm drama.
He said he was working on a farm
near Hartford, Conn, three years ago
and decided TO pay q visit to New
York. He wandered into an east side
dance hall and there met fair young
woman named Helen. He said she
told him how she longed for the quiet
OF farm and the peace of green
fields, and how tired she was Of the
hurly-burly Of the city. Andrew told
all about his place out near Hartford,
and he may have given the impress
sion that he owned 1t instead Of work
Ing thereon. He paid four visits to
New York during the following month
and then they were married.
The next day he met friend OF
his wife. he said, and was told some
tales that made him iii and filed him
with unrest He hurried to where
his wife and motherinlaw were
waiting him, and asked his bride
about the tales. She didn't deny them
and two days after she disappeared.

He has not seen her since. The de-
cree was held up for 80 days In or
der to attempt personal service.
Carrie Henry objected to being de-
serted. to being left without funds.

year IL more pronounced than usual
II Is said.
Mayor Marx does not expect to be
gin his active campaign until about
the first OF October. In the meantime
he is going to send his rignt-hant
man and ,secretary, Edward T. Fftx
gerald, away for q good rest after his
arduous labors during the mayors

encampment.

Saturday. However. expect to have
things squared away for an active
campaign during October
f. r. Ingram. who will be the may
or's Democratic opponent, has rented
headquarters on the second floor oil
the Villas building, Nos. 80 and So La
fayette-blvd. They will be opened
next Tuesday. No arrangements have
yet been made for the opening of his
speaking campaign, Mr.. Ingram says
He IL using what time he can spare
from the task OF rounding out his pri
vate business affairs so that he can
withdraw from them completely In
arranging the preliminary features OF
his campaign. He has had printed
campaign stationery which contains
particular planks OF his platform

administration. The first OF the four
follows: IF I am elected mayor, the
civil service law will be obeyed."
Upon the street railway question
Mr.. Ingram says In the second slogan
''I will hasten municipal ownership
No more street car lines will be built
except BY the city"
Many opponents of Mayor Marx
have charged that his administration
has been too closely connected with
the liquor element and the controlling
interests Of the d. o. r. No such
criticism would be possible Of an Ing
ram administration according to the
third slogan on the letterhead. for II
reads: "I win neither seek nor 40
cept political alliances with privil
eyed or unlawful interests"
The fourth slogan dealing with the
question OF election reforms is: For
civic elections. would adopt the
short ballot and non-partisan prefer
entail system Of nominating and vot.
ing
Mr.. Ingram explained the reason
for his not entering into an active
campaign more promptly by saying
that the people have not yet turned
their attention to politics again: that
civic associations and other organiza-
lions under whose auspices political
speeches are made, have not yet been
oroanized for the campaign.

that II enables the roads managers to

Just as cheaply as other roads which
arc much stronger financially.
A comparison Of the figures for An

CANVASSING BOARD
Crosses for C. M. Carsons Were
Erased and Attached to
Other Names

Evidence Of crookedness In the re.
cent primary In the ninth precinct OF
the Fourth ward. was unearthed. Sat
urday morning, by the canvassine
board conducting a recount OF the
district on petition OF Charles M
Carsons, defeated candidate for the
Republican nomination for registrar
Forty ballots. bearing unmistakable
evidence OF erasures and alterations
prejudicial to the interests OF Car
sons were found and thrown out be-
fore the count was half completed at
noon.
Carsons' suspicious were aroused
when the election board refused to
admit him while the ballots were be
Ing counted, and he demanded re-
count.
The rejected ballots. without ex-
.ception, show that crosses marked In
front OF the names of Carsons, David
H. Barnett. Martin 8. Frink, or VIII.
ham H. Smith, candidates. were
erased, and credited to Frank Bamert
and Thomas Lindsey. The erasures
are clumsily done, and could not pos
sibiy escape detection under anything
resembling close examination. One
ballot, marked In black pencil for
all other candidates, showed blue
pencil marks In front OF the names
of Bamert and Lindsey, indicating
that the elector had left this space
blank. and that someone had accom-
modatingly made q choice for him.
The first count showed that Bam-
ert received 20 votes, Lindsey 291, and
Carsons $50.
Early Saturday morning the work
Of recounting the remaining precincts
Of the Eighth ward was begun. But
one precinct was counted, however,
when the work was adjourned until
afternoon to allow the coinpietion Of
single precinct, the sixth. Aid. Albert
e. Wilson gained Is votes, while
Ross count remained stationary.
This gives Wilson lead of AZ votes
over Ross to date.
A recount Of the votes cast for the
Democratic nominee for alderman In
the Ninth ward. Friday afternoon,
showed that Aid. John L. Jakel, de-
feated by Is votes according to the
first returns. was nominated by a
plurality Of 10 votes over Joseph A.
Miotke.
Spoiled ballots by the score were
found, almost every conceivable mis-
take having been made by the voters.
Attorney Fred r. Schmalxreidt.
representing Moitke, offered frequent
objections against the boards rulings
on ballots which. he said. bore dis
tinguishing marks. He threatened to
take the matter up In the courts.
