1t was a victory for headwork and
good management Where other cleo
ton boards pursued the old and time
worn custom of drawing out ballot
at time and entering it upon the
books, the board at 1924 Kansas ave-
nue. adopted plan devised by c. J..
Rosen, one of the Judges. Before the
count commenced the ballots were all
taken from the box and sorted. First
all the ballots for single candidate
were put in piles of rs and each pile
was checked over by three different
persons to verify it's accuracy. Then
the total was drawn off and the bal
lots resorted for another candidate.
Thus all the House ballots, all the
Blakely, all the Hughes and all the
Lannan ballots were separated and
counted individually, each under a
triple check.
For getting results, this system was
a winner. Within two hours the vote
at the second of the Fifth was on it's
way to the office of election commits
sioner and the debris from the days
voting was being swept up. Half an
hour later there was no evidence of
there having been an election except
stack of neatly piled booth frames on
the front porch waiting for a drayman
to haul them away.

American Commission Will

Detention Camps of England
and Germany Included.

(By Carl w. Ackerman-Copvrig
1915, by the United Press.)
Berlin, March 3O.-Germany has
agreed to brow open her military
prison camps for inspection by an
American commission. United States
Ambassador Gerard made this an
stood to have accepted the same Of
fer and the trips of inspection are to
begin Immediately upon the arrival of
the commission in Europe.
Pan-AmericanS will constitute the
commission. They will visit A prison
camps in Germany and every effort
will be made by the German authori-
ties to see that their probe of the con-
and unhampered. To date. the fol-
lowing members of the commission
have been tentatively selected:
Chairman, j. c. Crew of Boston;
writer of New York; L. Osborne, son
of Warden Osborne of Sing Sing pris-
on; American Consul Nicholson of Co
1ogne, and DIR. Carl OhneSorg of the
United States navy.
Under the term of this agreement
the commission will be permitted to
make a thorough inspection of every
prison camp in Germany and England.
The commission will be empowered
to examine and question prisoners out
side of earshot of their guards to hear
all complaints and to endeavor to ad-
just minor disagreements between the
authorities and the prisoners.
Copies of the commissions report
will be forwarded to each of the bel
HgerentS. The commission will en-
body in its conclusion recommends
ton that the warning powers adopt a
uniform prison policy regarding sup
plies of food, correspondence, amount
of exercise to be allowed prisoners and
their general treatment by their
guards.
Ambassador Gerard already has
been successful in ameliorating the
conditions of German prisoners of
war. He suggested to the German
authorities that the race track at
Ruhleben, where one of the largest of
the prison camps is located, be used as
an exercise ground for the prisoners
The suggestion was promptly approx
ed. The American ambassador, though
burdened with extraordinary duties
since the beginning of the war, plans
to visit each of the larger prison
camps on personal tours of inspection.
