CITY HALL BOND
ISSUE is CARRIED
VOTERS DECIDE FOR MUNICIPAL
BUILDING BY MAJORITY IN
EVERY WARD.
AUFDERHEIDE ELECTED ALDER
MAN IN SECOND WARE. OVER
EIBNER.

The proposed bonds Of $4,000 for
the purpose Of building a City Hall drew
a large number Of voters in al; wards, in
spite of5the drizzling rsirl. There had
been so little heard from the voters that
the ultimate result was simply a guess
until the ballots were counted. There
had been some quiet work done in favor
Of the City Hall bond issue during the
last few days before election, but it was
pretty generally conceded that the voters
had made up their minds and the commit
tee in charge let it go at that.
Except in the Second Ward, the voting
during the fore part Of the day was slow.
In the Second the contest for alderman
between Wd. Eibner and Carl Aufder-
heide caused considerable interest and
the friends Of both candidates caused
strife enuf to make the vote at least in
teresting. Mr.. Aufderheide did not enter
the field for aldermanic honors until a
comparatively late hour in the campaign,
since which time there has been a con-
tinuous performance. There was no
display Of fireworks, however, the cam
paigning being mostly of the gum Shoe
variety, and it was guess who was doing
the most effective work until after the
polls closed.
In the First and Third Wards it was
only the question Of the City Hall bond
ing proposition that called out the voters.
Both Alderman Hamann and Alderman
krook were returned to office without
opposition.

Complying with the verdict of 4
jury, which sat in Chief Justice Gov.
ington's court, and decided that his
former wife, Beatrice l. Welcker, is
entitled to certain wedding presents
and household furniture valued at
about $1,000, Franklin v. KIllian Is
making arrangements today to re-
turn them as ordered by the court
The Jury held that the plaintiff had
a right to the property which was In
the Killian apartment when she left
1t before bringing suit for an abso-
lutte divorce in 1913. Rillian admitted
that she was entitled to the presents,
but denied her right to the articles In
dispute, which Miss welcker had tes-
titled he had presented to her while
she was his wife. The jury was told
at the trial that Killian paid his
former wife $4,000 In settlement OF
alimony and dover rights.
Killian claimed that in so doing
she waived her right to all his es-
tate and property including that
which was sought by her In the
present suit. Eugene A Jones ap-
peared for plaintiff and Leon To-
briner, and H, Prescott Galley for
KtlIian.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
FAVORS GUARD PLAN

The Washington Chamber OF Com
merce is today on record as favoring
the organization OF a new national
guard for the District Of Columbia in
accordance with the plan OF Col. J. A.
Dapray. Colonel Dapray proposes to
organize a guard to replace the men
who have been sent away to train for
war service.
Colonel Dapray advocates the for
nation of one or two battalions com
posed of men between the ages of
eighteen and twenty-one in order that
these men when called to the colors
under the selective draft may be quail
fled by the training that they will
receive in the guard to enter the Fed
eral service as noncommissioned off
GERS. And also that the District may
not be without the protection that II
has always had by reason of the old
guard being in training for service in
France.

D. c. CADETS CAN BUY
UNIFORMS AT OLD PRICE
EnrOIlment> Reaches 1900, Insur-
ing Two Regiments.

II won't cost any more to be a high
school cadet this year than It did last
year. In spite of the general increase
In wearing apparel, the uniforms OF
the local high school cadets will re-
main the same. The prices announc-
ed today give uniforms for privates
and non-commissioned officers at
$3.50. Commissioned officers uni
forms cost 1888.
The fact that the price of uniforms
has not increased Is sure to influence
more boys to join the cadets, say
school officials.
A record year Is expected in high
school cadet circles. The total en-
rollment to date numbers more than
1 200 cadets. 1t is believed that TWEEN
ty-four companies will be organized
this year. forming two full twelve
regiments for the first time
in local high school history.
