STARTLING STATEMENT
MADE In PARLIAMENT

Ticket Wins;
OMeiL Beaten

PITTSBURGH. Pa. Sept. 21.-Pri-
mary elections were held throughout
Pennsylvania today for municipal and
county offices, including county Judge
ships, and three judges OF superior
court, state court of appeals in this
state. In some OF the small communi-
ties the contests were between local
wet and dry factions, while in Others
questions OF a more local character
governed the dividing lines.
Throughout the state the vote was
the heaviest ever cast in a minor cleo
ton. in a number OF instances the
vote cast equalling that of a national
election.
One Of the most bitter contests was
that In Allegheny county. for county
commissioners and other county Of
ficers. The Armstrong Magee factions
or the Republican party. which con-
trols the city. had complete ticket in
the field and has probably won out in
most every case.
Particularly bitter was the county
commissionership. Addison Gumbert.
former National league ball PLAYER
and Frank J. Harris. present county
treasurer have apparently won out
with the rest OF the Armstrong ticket.
defeating J. Denny O'Neil. present
county commissioner. and known as
the anti-liquor candidate.
The vote In the county was e--at-
ed at between 90. 900 and 100 900. the
greatest ever cast outside a national
issue

CHARLESTON. W. Va. Sept. FL
In reversing the Ohio county circuit
court in the case of the Atlantic BIZ
thulithic company VS.. The Town OF
Edgwood the state supreme court to-
day laid down a rule affecting mu-
nicipal contracts that will have a
bearing on work being done by nu-
merous municipalities in the state.
The decision. which was written by
Judge Miller. holds that though the
estimated amount of work and ma
terial called for by the contract ag-
gregates n sum in excess Of the BONDS
and an amount beyond the constitu.
tional limitation the contract being
particle, and susceptible OF execution
10 the amount of the bonds and TO
the extent such municipality Is per
mitted to become indebted. is vold
only as 10 the excess of work and ma
terial contracted for. and may be so
enforced.
Important Point.
Another point decided was that an
ihApi maj ulSCuSSlon OF a proposition
at an informal meeting OF the mem
bers of a municipal council. but on
which no formal action was taken ana
no minute made, though there was a
general understanding as to what
should be done. does not constitute
municipal action binding a municI-
pality"
The supreme court also confirmed

case OF Andrew d. Seamon and Ara

and others in which Dyson and O. A.

the Seamons out OF $4,000. The court
held that the evidence did not snow
