New Castle, 8: Muneie, I

NEW CASTLE, Ind, Dec. 29.-Al-
though the Richmond team remained
at home and did not venture forth to
ctart anything last night, New Castle
started something that Muncie could
not finish and as a net result the
Quakers slipped from the top Of the
!. s. L. heap and are today taking
the dust OF the New Castle machine.
New Castles victory over Muncie was
clear cut. Muncie was outclassed on
both the offensive and defensive.
New Castle took an early lead in the
first period when Harkens scored one
after some six minutes OF speedy
play. Again in the second round
Harkens evaded the Muncie defensive
combination and slipped home an
other. With this lead New Castle
dropped back on the defensive and for
the remainder Of the game merely
saw to it that Muncie did not start
anything.
Essays Peace Dove Role
In the final period Muncie resorted
to free-for-all tactics In an attempt
to overcome the New Castle margin.
Here Doherty and Du Fresnes entered
the ring and for the time being a
young war lowered near.
Harry Thompson in the role OF peace
dove finally auieted the more or less
impolite work of the belligerents. No
blood was spilled, although more than
rough words were used in soothing the
feelings OF the different combatants.
Last nights game marked the close
OF the weeks schedule for New Castle.
Unless the Quakers win from lndianap-
oils Saturday night, New Castle will
finish the weeks activities in the
honor position of the state circle.

Gordon Files Contest Suit; Cites
Frauds.

jefferson City, Mo-, Dec. 10
Proceedings contesting the cleo
ton of George f. Hackmann Re
publican, to the office Of Stat
Auditor were instituted i'll tho
Supreme Court late today by
John p. Gordon, who is the in
cumbcnt in the office, and who
apparently was defeated in the
election November 7 by an ad
verse majority of $3.50.
1t is alleged in the petition
filed by Gordon that wholesale
frauds exist in the vote cast for
Hackmann in the City Of ST.
Louis and in the counties of ST.
Louis, Warren and Franklin, and
that the correct returns with H.
legal and fraudulent ballots elm
mated will show his election bp a
ma. jority of $500.
1t is claimed that the total vote
for Gordon in the City of St.
Louis should be 69,7l4 instead OF
the G1,672 returned and that
Hackmann' s vote in that city
should be total of S7,745 in
stead of o. as returned.
Among the allegations Of
fraud in st. Louis it is charged {:
That 200 rcpeaters east 1000
votes for Hacllmann.
That judges and clerks reject
ed 500 votes for Gordon outright
without cause and rejected 500 or
more for him OH account OF trlv-
ial and immatcrial defects in the
ballots.
That 1900 illegal ballots count
ed for Hackmanm were cast by
men who were not residents OF
st. Louis and We're unregistered.
That 800 votes cast for Cor
don were counted for Hackmann.
That the illegal votes counted
for Hackmam averaged 100 to
the precinct.
That 1000 votes east for Cor
don were not returned or count
ed.
That 1000 ballots east for Cor
don were destroyed and others
for Hackmann were substituted.
That $500 fraudulcntly regis
tered votes 1000 We're east for
H Fit lkttfHnin:
That 5000 ballots not num-
bcred were east for Hackmann.
That 1000 men convicted Of
crime and, therefore, ineligible to
vote without restoration of cit
were allowed to vote.
In addition to the alleged
votes cast and counted |
for Hackmann in St. Louis, it is
alleged that in Warren County
1]ackmann's home county, 2S9
fraudulent votes were east and
counted for him; that 31G illegal
votes were east for him i'll Frank
lin County and that in the coun-
~ of St. Louis there was a total
Of 2,l63 illegal votes cast and
counted for him.
There is no fraud alleged in the
for Auditor in any other
county in the State.

NO Federal RELIEF
FOR TARDY RECRUITS
100000 Goes Only to Old Enlist
ments. Comptroller Rules.

Members OF the District National
Guard, as well as of the entire organized
militia, who entered the service after the
Presidents call for the mobilization OF
the troops, will not be able to share in
tbs 100000 relief fund that was appro-
prtated by Congress for needy families
of the soldiers, according to a decision
of the Comptroller OF the Treasury yes
terday.
Comptroller Warwick says that the re-
lief provision was intended for those
members OF the militia or National
Guard who enlisted before the call, and
were forced to enter the service, not
those who voluntarily Joined after the
call
Soldiers Of the regular army who en-
listed after the Presidents call will not
receive aid, although those who were
enlisted before Will.
This decision hits the District National
Guard hard, as a majority OF the enlisted
men have Joined since the call Over
half Of the Third Infantry are recruits,
and many of these have needy dependent
families.
The news Of the Comptroller's decision
created a stir at Camp Ordway, and
many heads of families, who cannot now
obtain discharges on account of depend
ent relatives, and are cut out of relief
money under the decision OF yesterday,
are badly disappointed.

Is entitled to the same treatment as
an ordinary merchantmen. In a note
sent forward to the entente allies in
response to their protest, fled when
IL was announced that the Deutsch-
land was to be cleared in regular
fashion as merchant ship, the
United States makes 1t plain that its
decision was arrived at only after a
complete examination of the German
underseas craft had been made.
The reply OF the United States dis
poses Of the claim made by the allies
including Japan-that inasmuch as a
submarine can escape capture by be-
ing submerged when sighted by q
pursuing warship, It could not be
Classed as a merchant craft and was
subject to attack and to be sunk II
possible, Immediately upon being
sighted
The United States held that this was
not so. II held, as it has insisted in
all Of the correspondence with all Of
the European belligerent powers. that
1t is impossible TO change the rules Of
ress, and that therefore. II a subma-
rtne is unarmed and does not carry
torpedo tubes, il can be considered
simply as a merchant vessel. The
mere fact that it is a submersible,
this government holds, does not
change the situation.
