DEMOCRATS PLEASED
 AT i. Q. P. PRIMARY
Believe Their Party Has Fine Chance to Elect
 Mayor.

Democratic leaders are pleased to- day over the results in last nights re- publican primaries. Chairman W. F. Mangan of the democratic town com mittee for one is quoted as seeing a strong possibility of electing q demo- | cratic mayor next Tuesday. It is presumed and practically conceded that Ernest w. PeltOn will be norni- mated for mayor by the democrats this evening. Despite the big republican majority of two years ago and Mayor Quigley'S smashing victory over Councilman Curtis last night the democrats look to elect their candi- date. While on the face of the re- turns the figures look difficult to com- bat it is pointed out that nearly 1,5OO republicans did not vote last night Many of these were not registered and others presumably kept away from the polls because of the weather which was anything but pleasant.
 Two years ago Joseph M. Halloran was defeated by George A. Quisie,, by a vote of 4,019 to 2,359, givirg the present mayor a majority of 1,66O. The dem mocrats look for no such re- turns this time. They figure shreWd- ly that the great bulk of Curtis fol- lowers are unalterably opposed to Mayor Quigley and that of the S31 who last night voted for MT. Curtis many, especially third ward residents, will vote for the democratic mayor atty nominee next Tuesday. In addition to these they count on a vast number of stayaways, voters who had no interest in the prima rics, car ing for neither of the republican can d1dates, but would be ready to vote for man of MT. Pelton's type.
 In the interest of campaign dope for those who enjoy figuring on the results and the possibilities of the game of politics, here are a few fie
 ures which would indicate that Mayor Quigley has no cinch. Halloran's vote two years ago was 2,359 Add to this the 831 anti-Quigley vote of last night and the total is 3.19O ana you have a basis for a democratic vote next Tuesday. This might rep- is nominated tonight. The total re- publican and democratic vote two years ago was 6,37S. Subtract Mir. Pelton's assumed vote of 3,19O and it leaves Mayor Quigley with 3,lSS, two less than his opponent. Against these figures however, must be con- sidered the normal changes in the vot- ing list and the addition to new voters, but it is sufficient to show possibilities and that there is no certainty of a re- publican walkover.

RECORD PRICE FOR
 RAILS ANTICIPATED
Cost of S2S Per Ton, Figure For Over Fifteen Years, To Be In
 creased S5.

New York, April 5-What will mark an historic event in the steel trade, an advance in the price of steel rails, is confidently expected in trade circles to take place short ly The base price of rails has stood at $2S a ton for more than 5 years, fixed at about the time the United States Steel Corporation was organ ized in 1901, and it never has var jed The advance, it was stated by high trade authorities probably would amount to $5 a ton.
 Judge Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the corporation, today issued a statement, saying that the rail-mak- ing subsidiaries of the corporation would maintain present prices until May 1, but would make no commit ments beyond that date. In view O. the fact that prices of other steel products have for months been nov ing upward to record high prices, and that many independent rail-makers have favored placing rails on a par it4. with these products, the an nolmcement of Judge Gary was gen erllly taken to indicate that such an advance was contemplated after May

CURTIS DEFEATED BUT
 IS IN DEFIANT MOOD
Still Challenges Quigley to
 Disprove Charges Dur ing Campaign.

Councilman 0. F. Curtis, who was defeated in last nights primaries fer the republican mayoralty nomi- nation, issued a statement to the press this noon following his con- Gratulatory letter to Mayor Quigley last night, which His Honor decided this morning might be published to- gether with his response to Coun- cilman Curtis. In his. statement to the public, MT. Curtis makes it plain that he has nothing to withdraw from his campaign statements, main taining that nothing was offered to Gisprove them, but he still offers to make withdrawal or retraction if they can be disproved. His state ment follows:
 1 wish to thank those who SUD- ported me at the primaries yester- cay and to reiterate that the state ments l have made either verbally or, . in print during the past campaign gre based on facts taken from the city's official records and I believe them to be correct. I will reiterate my former statement. that if any fair evidence can be submitted to me showing the incorrectness of facts

 T with to thank the republican nominee for mayor for the mag unanimous spirit manifested in his reported speech of last night and also for his courtesy in withholding from the public a letter from me delivered to him on or about D. m., last night''
 This letter follows.

THREE EMPLOYES OF

Manufacturing Concern Recognizes Loyalty By Providing for Their

Holland is Determined.

The Hague, April 4, 2 D. m.. via London, April 5, 10:52 a. m.--At the opening of the second chamber of the Dutch parliament today after preliminary secret session in com mittee, the president of the chamber read a brief statement declaring that the recent suspension of furloughs of army officers and men was a precau~ tionary measure, as Holland is firmly resolved to maintain her neutrality and there is a possibility of it in- curing increased danger owing to the course of the war. The SuS- pension order, he added, was not a consequence of present political cr- tanglements but was decided upon on account of certain information which reached the government and which the government does not judg opportune at the present moment to make public.
 The chamber then proceeded to the consideration of domestic affairs.

FORMER OFFICIAL IS
 ORDERED FROM POLLS
Moderator John Dolan. in First Ward, Objects to Actions of August
 BergStrOm.

There was some little excitem ert for a few minutes at the first ward voting place during the primaries yesterday when Councilman John A. Dolan, moderator, had occasion to eject former Building Inspector Au- gust Bergstrom from the room.
 The trouble arose over an alleged attempt by Mir. Bergstrom to show a voter the method of marking a ballot, rather than permitting the chairman to make explanations. A man, said to have been a little be- fuddled from imbibing too freely, entered the voting place and after getting his ballot expressed ignorance as to how it should be marked.
 Moderator Dolan told the voter that the chairman of the polls or any Of the officials would explain tho method but it is said that MT. Berg strom, who was not an official, at once took it upon himself to show the man how to do it. Although no accusation of telling the voter who to vote for was made, Moderator Dolan insisted that MT. Bergstrom desist Some hot words are said 10 have ensued and the result was that Moderator Dolan ordered the former city official out of the polls and gave instructions that he was not to be permitted to loiter around there.
 The incident was the cause of no little gossip about the city last even-

Borders Eyes on Washington.

El Paso, Tex, April 5-The eyes of men of the border were turned north today anxiously looking for some intimation from Washington that an arrangement had been made with Gen. Carranza permitting the use of the Mexican railroad by the American expeditionary force.
 Now that 1t is definitely knoWn that Villa is fleeing south far ahead of his American pursuers, there IS a fixed opinion here that on the rail- roads hinge Gen. Pershing's main, if not only, hope Of capturing the bandit. This opinion is not only ex- pressed by the American refuge col one here. where pessimism is the rule but is held by army officials who, among friends give their opinion of the situation in candid terms.
 With Villas flight toward Parral and the virtual certainty that he is not far from that town, it has ceased to become. a question of using the Northwest railroad. The present need is for the Mexican Central rail- road.
