city of Richmond much more than

figures In the office of City Clerk
Bescher
Each Of the 5,046 men who voted in

cost of holding the election was
$1515.40
The high cost of printing, and meals
for the PIT election officials, an added
precinct, and the fact that provision
had been made in the election tally
sheets to count the votes of women
separately caused the expense of the
election to be much higher than in
former years, according to the city
clerk

Father Kills His
Children and Self

SULLIVAN, Ind, Nov %. Dave
Johnson, 3S. miner living near the
Wilfred mine, five miles northeast of
here, shortly before o'clock this
morning shot and killed his two little
children as they lay beside him in bed,
and then turning the revolver on him
self inflicted a wound In the head
which resulted in his death three
hours later. Grief over the death of
hsi wife three months ago is held re-
sponsible for the tragedy, and a note
found near table IN the bed room
bore out this theory. The note read:
Il could not stand to leave my little
ones, as l am taking them with me
10 see Name"
The triple tragedy was discovered
by neighbors who heard the sound of
the shots, when they rushed into the
room to find the three victims lying
side by side on the bed, in a pool of
blood.

Is Feared
by German Minister

AMSTERDAM, Nov 12- "Ameri-
cas- entry into the war is disadvan-
tageous to us In moral and many 9TH
er ways" said Admiral Won Tirpftz,
former German minister OF Marine, In
addressing a meeting Of the Father
land party at Dresden. I'VE ought to
have reckoned with the fact that the
American trust magnates were bound
to desire our defeat.
'I regret that we did not remain
firm in the face of President Wilson's
threats. II we had done 80, things
probably would have been very diff
ferent, but now we must take them as
they are"

Without Details of
Sinking of Chauncey

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.--The navy
department still was without details
today of the collision in the war zone
early Monday morning that resulted in
the sinking of the American destroyer
Chauncey, with the loss of three Off
GERS and eighteen enlisted men,
In compliance with department or
ders, Vice-Admiral Sims cabled the
casualties list without waiting for the
official report of the accident Dis
patches containing the complete story
Of the affair, were expected to arrive
today.
1t is believed that the destroyer,
running in heavy weather with no
lights showing, crashed into another
English or French patrol vessel. That
she foundered rapidly is indicated by
the heavy loss of life.
