LEGISLATION
WILL FOLLOW
VOTE INQUIRY
Continued from Page y

Homer S. Cummings and Thomas J.
Spellacy, who respectively represent
the criminal authority Of the state and
the national government, are said to
be of mind to seek amendment OF
the corrupt practices to prevent the
wholesale employment Of workers, If
it should appear that such employment
is now legal.
The least that may be expected from
the investigation now in progress. is
drastic legislation to prevent what is
virtually vote buying, in the future.
The rehabilitation in city hall will
probably be concluded today. 7 Two
machines will remain unopened, un-
less a change in plan is made. But
SO machines are to be used in the
special election. The sole object Of
the rehabilitation is to preserve the rec
ord, in case it is needed, and the work
NAV not extend to the two machines,
which will not be employed, because
the record on these machines will have
it's legal duration.
In the cellar of the city hall today
the Rehabilitation Of the three voting
machines used at the last election in
the Ninth district was begun. Attor-
news Phi1o G.. Calhoun and Thomas M.
Cullinan inspected the opening Of the
machines and the retabulating of the
vote Expert George Church who is
looking out for the interest of States
Attorney Homer Cummings, who is in
specting the opening of the machines
said that thus far no evidence had
been found of any tampering with
the machines. City Attorney William
H. Comley, Jr., will prepare the form
of question to be. used on the ma
chimes at the special election one week
from Saturday. Mayor Wilson said
the voting machine committee of the
common council will later decide the
number of machines to be used in the
special election.

had come into Alice's life, as comes
into every woman's life who thinks
herself forsaken by her husband.
At least Mr.. Hale appreciated her,
He did not tire of her and seemed
to understand her, and she had the
right to enjoy his friendship. That
was what she called the pleasant
intercourse that had sprung up be-
tween them.
One afternoon Mr.. Hale telephon-
ed and asked Alice what she in.
tended doing that night. Alice &C.
knowledged that she was to be lett
alone.
oh no, you're not. We are going
to take dinner at Qunettes.' They
had a table for two overlooking the
floor.

her, and her ear was no longer
turned to Mr.. Hates talk.
The golden haired lady permitted
her laneuid eyes to linger on Alice.
Alice glanced around sharply and
saw her husband was the woman S
escort.
At the same time Jacks eyes
Travelled toward Alice. She saw his
look of recognition, then an easy
familiar smile that came over his
face. As he made his bow, Alice
glanced from him to Mrs. Stanley
! and saw her smiling the same sort
of smile.
Just then the waiter came and
filled their glasses with the amber
bubbline liquid.
Alice did not look at Jack again
until she placed the glass empty on
the table. When she raised hel
eyes to his face, she realized a disa.
ereeable fascination at his look Of
humiliation. The poison of NOR
phine and drink would not permi,
her thoughts to surrender pity fol
him.
After this many times Jacl
would appear and take her home

boys in their garments of white
lace and scarlet as they swung the
Tuning censors to and fro had a
strange fascination for her, and she
often thought then in her pure girl
hood that even the angels must
envy those boys.
Then would come the thought.
There is no God, my husband loves
another woman. She could always
see Mrs. Stanley standing before
her, her beautiful golden hair as she
had worn it on the night they met.
Finally. Alice started to 60 Out
again. There was no love in her
heart for her husband, every word
he spoke bored her and, seeing this
Jack began to leave her very much
alone.
One night they we're standing in
the hall after dinner. Jack was
putting on his coat preparing to &C
out when he made a suggestion that
astonished Alice.
