PITTSBURGH, Oct. 1.-The biggest po-
u,lcai scandal that has shaken Pittsburgh
slnce the famous Council graft cases that
.,nt many members Of Council to the
penltentlary lmpends.
T. Denny o'Neil. who was defeated for
the Republican nomination for County
Commissioner, contemplates legal pro-
ceedings against members of at least five
election boards for alleged failure to make
proper return of his vote for renomina-
s,on for County Commissioner, and also
plans to Ask the court 10 order a recount

Ine A conference between Mr.. O'Neil and
hls lawyers, John d. Douglass. former
Assistant District Attorney: Edward b.
vail. County Solicitor, and T. c. Jones.
a former Judge of the County Court, the
announcement was made.
FALSE RETURNS CHARGED.
Mr. o'Neill's friends say that at least
Ave election boards have made false re-
Turns of Mr. ONeil's vote, as shown by
examination OF the ballots during the
recount of the prothonotary's vote. The
dlscrepancies have been discovered I'm
the returns of the 1st and 10th districts
OF the I'd Ward. and in the 9Th, 7th and
sth Districts of the Sd Ward, say the
o'Neil men.
The Braddock Ward is the one in which
eiRht arrests were made following the
urinary election on charges of fraud.
Those under arrest are Chief of Police
James Mccarthy, Constable Jacob Gold
eteln. Thomas Howard, Councilman and
Deputy Sheriff, and the following mem
hers Of the election board: John CAL
iagher Jr., Chester Meyers, Joseph
echermer, Clyde Stewart and Patrick
Holleran
II was in this district that John Sivitz,
the candidate for constable. kept tab on
the voters who went into the booth with
a counting machine. This recorded only
80 voters as having cast ballots, as
against 6S5 ballots found in the ballot box.
BALLOTS LOOK QUEER.
A feature OF the ballots that struck
everyone about the counting tables as
very unusual was the fact that in the
column for high constable the name of
Fred Seim had been written in many
flmes--George A. Alter, an attorney, says
at least 100 apparently by the same per-
son. The handwriting was strikingly
similar and the same sort of pencil had
been used In every case. There was
another instance in which the same name
had been written a smaller number of
times.
Before the count was started by the
county commissioners the majority of
Johns over Kirker was more than 800
With several precinct boxes yet to be
opened, that majority has been reduced
10 IS, and the whole day will be con-
sumed in making a recount in a disputed
district.

Why Nero Burned Rome

Nero put the Parlor match to
Rome because he had tired of the
brand of entertainment served up by
the Greek and Roman Drama Work
ers' Union. This country is full of
Neros. If the Royal Violinist could
have sat through one TRIANGLE
NIGHTS ENTERTAINMENT
he would have changed his plan and
built new theatre every hundred feet
along the Appian Way.
If he could have had a Griffith,
an Ince, and a Sennett to construct
his dramatic entertainment for him
there would have been fewer tragedies.
After seeing a Griffith romance
he probably would have invited the
Christian martyrs to dinner; after
Witnessing a Sennett-Keystone-Com-
edy he would have ordered the works
of Aristophanes out of the public
library, and by the time he had seen a
few reels of an Ince drama the Warm
Doings in the Colosseum would have
been discontinued without the usual
two weeks notice.

about 9,400. With one country pre-
cinct missing the count follows:
''Wets" 39,337, "drys" 29,934, making a

At the headquarters of the "drys" IL

liquor interests had not been given up
only deferred. Rev. George B. SAT-
ford. head of the prohibition forces,
said: I'VE are still in the ring and
although defeated in this one election,
shall hide our time" ..
According to the local cptson law
passed by the last legislature,
prohibitionists can petition for another
election in three years That this will
be done is said to have been Saford's

PLAN ACCEPTED

Denver, Colo, Oct. 1.-The directors
of the ColoTado Fuel & Iron Co. today
accepted on behalf Of the company the
Rockefeller Industrial plan At the
same time, at a half dozen or more
camps of the company in southern
Colorado, referendum votes were being
taken by the miners. Officers OF the
company believed that the result Of
the miners ballots will be overwhelm-
ingly in favor Of the plan OF co-opera-
tive mediation sponsored by John D.
Rockefeller. jr.
Five of the eleven directors Of the
Colorado Fuel & Iron Co. were present
at the meeting at which the plan was
accepted. 1t is understood that several
other directors will sign the minutes
of the meeting, giving a vote OF ap-
proval. The vote in favor OF the
adoption Of the plan was unanimous.
The Rockefeller party planned to
leave late today for Sunrise, Wyo.,
where the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co.
has an iron mine.
Runors that Gov. George A. Carl
son was on the point Of ordering a
dismissal of the most Of the criminal
charges growing out of the coal
miners strike of 1913-14 were current
today in circles close to the state
administration.
Mr.. Rockefeller called upon the gov
ernor and talked over with him the
general Industrial situation. Both the
governor and Mr.. Rockefeller denied
that the latter had suggested than any
of the strike cases be dropped. Gov
ernor Carlson stated that he had not
vet decided whether or not to instruct
the attorney general to dismiss any or
all Of the cases.

eranae 6 nix Trains.

~
It has been kf.own for some time
that the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad,
which has line to the Pacific coast
through Canada, intended running
trains over it's Canadian line, to con-
meet with the Great NorIhern and run
down through North Dakota to the
twin cities. 1t is said that these plans
are now practically complete and that
one of the reasons for the conten1-
plated changes in the Great Northern
Trunk Pacific traffic that will pass
through Fargo over the Great North
ern lines. ... .. 49,. --,ss., :. --rs.@i
1t is also reported that much Of the
Grand Pacific freight originating in
the United States will be handled
through the freight terminal here.
The we'll founded report that the
Great Northern is going TO bring the
passenger division from GAINESVILLE
adds additional weight to the rumor
that a large union passenger station
is to be erected here. This is still
further strengthened by the fact that
the Grand Trunk Pacific through
trains are to be run through here.
With the large number Of passenger
trains through the city in a day 1t is
evident that the present Great North
ern passenger station would not be
adequate for the service. 1t is a we'll
known fact that the Northern Pacific
passenger depot is and has been for
long time wholly inadequate for the
big passenger service Of that line and
that it is just matter of time until
a larger station will have to be pro-
vided.
With both roads requiring additional
paSSenser facilities IL seeing tn he
logical that they should combine and
build great union station that would
take care Of the passenger service as
it is now and provide for the great
growth that is assured these two roads
in the future,

The plans for the preliminary inn

However the plans are intended for

them and will not do so until they
have been formally opened before the
commissioners at their meeting tomor-
row morning. ~ 3.
1t is learned from other sources
that the plans provide for the imme-
diate construction of 500-foot addi-
ton to the present freight house, max
ing total of 500 feet of freight houses
running west almost to Tenth street.
In addition to this great freight house
there will be a number Of additional
tracks put in and there will be large
driveways which will make the freight
house easily accessible to drays and
motor trucks. There are other i'm.
provements to be made but the details
of these cannot be learned until the
plans are opened before the commits
sioners tomorrow.
Fargo Division Point.
There is we'll founded report to
the effect that beside making Fargo
great freight terminal point, the
Great Northern also proposes to make
it a passenger division point, trans
ferring the passenger division from
GAINESVILLE to. this city. 1t is known
that GAINESVILLE has been unsatisfac-
tory as division point for some time.
Fargo is more nearly a midway city
for passenger service and there are
indications to bear out this report.
The report originates with a man who
is in close touch with Great Northern
affairs, .

Big REVENUE
FOR MINNESOTA

st. Paul, October. 5.-Based on au-
thoriative statements from Hibbing
and other Range towns, and on esti-
mates by state officials. Minnesota for
the next thirty years will have a
revenue of more than one million dol
lars year from royalties on state
mining leases, according to informa-
ton made public here today.
Upon the ore already proved up
and developed this return to the state
is made certain. The state also has
properties that will in few years
show vast additional deposits Of ore.
and some authorities say that the an
nual million dollars revenue to the
state may continue for a century or
even longer. 3. ~
From state lands this season the
shipment of ore will be twice that OF
last season and as a result the return
to the state will be doubled.
Mining men look forward to next
year as the greatest in the history OF
the iron range, and 1t Is estimated
that more than four million tons OF
ore will be shipped from state leases.
and that total shipments will be dou-
BILE those Of any preceding year.
This season the heaviest state ship
per is the Leonidas at Eveleth which
is expected to send away $4,000 tons
before the close Of the season. AS an
indication of what can be done by
some state leases. it is pointed out
that the Grant property at Bull easily
could ship three million tons Of ore
ir single season. During large
mart of the season in 1914 the Grant
retted the state $4,000 a week.
AS the season advances, shipments
ne ore are being rushed to the docks
al Duluth and Superior. From the
Hibbing district alone Great Northern
shipments to the Allouez docks the
iast two weeks have averaged nearly
1900 cars every "a hours. In the
fourth week In September, the total
shipment from the Hibbing district
was approximately 100000 tons a day.
