EXPERT SHOWS VOTING MACHINES
"FIxED" in TERRE HAuTE FRAUDS

INDIANAPOLIS, March 30.-That
voting machines can be manipulated to
fool the ordinary voter was demon
strated in federal court by Edward
Tetzche, expert machinist used as q
witness for the defense in the Terre
Haute election trail. -.
Tetzche showed on machine in
court how the lever may be manipu-
how the machine can be fixed SO that
every movement will appear regular
but the vote will not be cast:
The object, Of the demonstration by
the defense was to offset charges that
Dom Roberts had instructed voters
in the manipulation OF. the machine.
and to show that 1t was not probable.
/ The witness showed that the levers
can be lifted third Of the way after
keys have been turned down without
registering the vote, or that a ratchet
can be removed and the lever moved
all the way without registering, thus
making It possible for one permitted
to operate the machine to, register
votes at his pleasure. -, js!..~~s.

IS CONTENTION

st. Louis, Dec. 1.-The govern
ment stood pat today on Its insistence
that its action to dissolve the
Central PaclHc-Southern Pacific is
proper. The defense, on the other
hand, maintained that the govern
ment had not the right to attempt
dissolution OF combines existing be-
fore the Sherman antitrust law went
into effect,
The government holds that the
chief reason for the combination is
the desire OF the Southern Pacific to
handle Central Pacific business via
New Orleans and by water from
there to the Atlantic seaboard. Such
handling diverts business that might
otherwise pass through Ogden and
be handled over the Union Pacific,
the shortest route from the Pacific
coast to the Atlantic. hg z
But, Il is contended, when the
Southern Pacific can divert the busi-
ness via New Orleans, II shares par
ticularly heavily In the division Of
through rates. whereas the combina'
tion nets q much decreased share
when the Central Pacihc- Union Paci'
'flc route is used.

"In Germany nobody understands
why the allies. after military failures

Rome, Dec. Italy has definite
ly decided to send aid to Serbia. This
announcement by Foreign Minister
Sonnino to the Italian parliament
confirmed recent reports that the
Rome government had determined to
take hand in the near-eastern situ-
alton.
At the same time 1t was announced
that Italy has agreed with the en-
tente allies not to sign q separate

ported Austrian hopes for such a
peace. A4T ssf
The pledge not to sign q separate
peace was regarded as indicating
that Austria had actually made over
lures to Rome looking toward such
q settlement. for otherwise the
pledge would have been unnecessary.
Austria is regarded as in desperate
financial straits. and the fact that
she has appointed bankers in the
places Of the three cabinet ministers
who retired is taken as further con-
elusive evidence OF her situation.
