81 kim Street.

Alexandria, Va, Aug. 1s.-Steps have
been taken by the members OF the police
department to compel property owners
who have dilapidated sidewalks to have
them repaired at once.
In view of the fact that there are hun
dreds OF such sidewalks scattered
throughout the city, many being on the
outskirts, the Indications are that 1t viii
keep PAYERS busy for some time TO come.
In a majority of the cases, however,
only a few bricks are missing from side
walks This condition. however, in many
instances is permitted to exist for con-
siderable time with the result that many
sidewalks In the city from sheer neglect
are now in pretty bad shape.
Complaint against such conditions has
recently been made by pedestrians and
MANY have reported narrow escapes
from injury in falling.
The policemen hope to have all Of the
property owners cooperate in the work
Of repairing their sidewalks so as to
eliminate the danger incident to them.
A few years ago the city authorities
took up the question Of dilapidated Chin
neys in the city. The result was that a
number OF large chimneys throughout the
city were pointed up and repaired, and
even in some Instances taken down and
rebuilt Now the danger incident to the
falling Of such chimneys during the
progress Of a storm OF any magnitude
has been reduced to a minimum.

On Friday National Chairman Will
cox OF the Republican party handed
out the following statement:
1.-THE result still depends upon the
vote In q few close states. It must be
borne In mind that the returns thus
fur announced are, in most states, un-

official count required by the laws Of
those states.

be that material changes will result

With returns missing from only one

The vote In New Mexico, which is
still in doubt. probably will determine

New York, Nov. 11.-On the face Of

with 4 majority Of at least eleven In
the electoral college. But the Repub-

The situation is extraordinary and

the margin Of Democratic victory was

would turn the scales. He and his as
sociates say they take the position
that there should be no cloud upon Mr..
Wilson'S title to the presidency. The
Democrats, for their part, declared
that there must be a recount In New

rave the state to Nj. Wilson.
That the returns are still incomplete
Is due to the presence on the border Of
the National Guard Of a number Of
states. The soldiers are permitted to
vote By mail. their ballots being for
