Coston, after the canvass of the vote
and the result was announced, chal-
lenged the election of Thomas Finegan.
She insists that the election just held
was but q nominating election and that
another election is necessary to make
the election sure. She based her con-
tention on the ground that there were
but 4310 ballots cast at the election
and that to be elected Mr.. Finegan
would have to secure more than so per
only received 2155 votes, just so per
cent and therefore, instead of being
elected, he was only nominated.
Section 4 w of the Black law is
cited by Miss Tyer as grounds for her
claim. 1t reads, In case there is but
one person to be elected to an office
as mayor, the candidate receiving a
majority of the votes for all the candi-
dates at the said first election for that
office shall be declared elected; in case
there are two or more persons to be
elected to an office as that of coun-
cilmen, then those individual candi-
dates, if any, equal in number to the
number to- be elected, who receive the
number of votes greater than one-half
the number of ballots cast at such an
election, shall be declared elected.
Provided, however, that no person shall
be declared elected to any office at
such first election unless the number
of ballots received by him shall be
greater than one-half the number Of
ballots cast at such an election for
such office"
ANOTHER CONSTRUCTION GIVEN.
This section is construed in differ
ent ways. The city attorney holds that
the number of ballots cast should be
indicated by the number of votes re-
corded, that is by the highest number
received by any one candidate for the
office of councilman and that Mr..
Finegan had received more than so
per cent and therefore was elected.
WILL NOT GO INTO COURT.
The contention is made that all bal
lots should be counted which were cast,
whether spoiled or not and that a
check gotten by the women at the close
of the polls in each precinct showed the
number to be 4310. The ballot books
from which the canvass was made
failed to record the number of ballots
cast, except in one precinct.
In precinct No. a discrepancy is
shown in the tally books. One book
gives Miss Coston 295 and the other
800. Only a recount can show the cor
rect result. Under the ruling of the
city attorney, however, this error is
not sufficient to affect the result in
any way and so no action was taken.
Miss Tyer announced last night that
nv lon
would not be contested in court.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 24.-- On November i, the capitol will go dry. Today Judge Gould dismissed the motion to enjoin enforcing tho dry law because Of the legislation being unconstitutional.
 When the legislators return to the December session they will miss the bars and saloons in the city. In no place will it make such a change as will tho enforcement of prohibi- ton in the capital. The members have been accustomed at suppers where liquor flowed plentifully. enough, in days gone by to delibe- rate upon important matters and many a caucus bill for intoxicating liquors and cigars ran to quite im- pressive figures.
 The change will be greatly felt by the solons and the loss to the saloonists in hotels and bars will be very great.

PARIS, Oct 24.-The flower of the army of the German Crown Prince went shattering on the Aisne heights today when the French along an extended front north of the river swept forward over two miles, capturing three thousand Germans taking over fifty officers of high rank and complete ly anihilating several regiments which stood in their positions re- sisting to the last.

No such fierce fighting has been seen in recent times, the Germans offering a resistance that was re- markable but which resulted in their being cut down by hundreds in the well organized shrapnel bar age that the French showed forward with light artillery behind their own advancing columns.
