MARKED BALLOTS
FOUND IN SEWER
Street Cleaners Are Search
ing for Further Missing

NeN York, Oct 5.--District Attor-
ney Swami to-day began Investigation
of alleged frauds in Tuesdays election.
As result of the finding of 25 marked
ballots yesterday in sewers of the 18th
election district of the fourth assembly
district, he summoned the election Off
cials of that district TO his Office to be
questioned. Meanwhile the street
cleaners of that and other districts
were directed to search sewers and
other places OF possible concealment
for missing ballots.
Investigation of alleged fraud in
Harlem also was begun. II was re-
ported that in some of these districts
more ballots were returned than there
were registered voters. Other alleged
Irregularities also were reported.
District Attorney Swami TO day is.
sued the following statement;
"The district attoney is investigat-
ing charges of specific acts OF alleged
crimes against the election law, such
as usually happen at every election
This will not affect in any way the
final result Of the election.
THE fact that the district attorney
was a candidate is forgotten by him.
and he accepts without question the
count of the vote as announced as
final and conclusive so far as he is
personally concerned"
Mr.. Swami was defeated for justice
of the supreme court.

RECORD MAJORITY FOR
REPUBLICANS IN HOUSE
MAY GROW STILL MORE
HARDING LEAVES
MARION TOMORROW
Will Spend a Month on Vacation-Last
Night He Pronounced League Of
Nations Deceased"

Marion, O., Nov. SIN final prapa-
ration for his vacation, President elect
Harding to-day disposed of the last
remaining business at his campaign
headquarters here and virtually aban-
doned the headquarters building which
has housed his office and campaign
assistants since July. With Mrs Hard
ing and party of friends he leaves
tomorrow morning for months va.
cation that will take him TO southern
Texas and probably to Panama.
As he began his last days work in
headquarters workmen were
cleaning from the Harding lawn next
door demolished standards and burned
out red fire torches of last nights ceie-
bration in which several thousand of
his neighbors in Marion and nearby
cities paid him tumultuous tribute.
In his speech to the cheering crowd
that gathered for his post election
front porch speech, he pronounced the
league of nations deceased" By a
coincidence a crowd was gathered at
the same hour on the White House
lawn in Washington acchiming the
league in the presence of President
Wilson.
Soon after his vacation trip, which
is to end early in Defender, Senator
Harding is expected to take prelimi-
nary steps toward consultation OF
statesmen. which he has promised
throughout the campaign for formula
tion of Amsrica's program toward
world peace association. Whether he
actually will assemble such council
before his Inauguration, however, is
regarded as doubtful.

GREAT PLUNGE
TO REACTION
Is Way Gompers Sizes Up
Result of the Elec-
ton
BUT HAS HOPES
OF DEMOCRACY
Says so "Inconsiderate and
Hostile" Candidates Had
Been Beaten

Washington, d. c., Nov 5 tBy the
Associated Press) Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
Of Labor, declared to-day in his first
statement on the outcome of Tnes.
days elections that every forward
looking man and woman must feel
some deep regret because of the great
plunge towards reaction"
But democracy will right itself at
the proper time" he continued, "and
meanwhile the actual tabulation OF re-
suits in Congress, the making
body. shows definite and specified
gain for all that makes for progress
and responds to the needs of our time. "
He assured that every man in the
House whose "record of service was
perfect" had been reelected and add
ed that the new Congress would show
an increased number of men holding
union cards.
The non partisan political policy OF
the labor federation, he continued, is
more completely justified than ever
and the futility of separate party ae-
tion more convincingly demonstrated.
Referring to the congressional cleo
tions, he said incomplete checking al
ready showed that fifty congressman
who were "inconsiderate and hostile
had been defeated.
This is one of the most impressive
features of the entire election" he
said. Fifty time servers have been
beaten. Against these fifty the work
ing people have elected from 55 to 90
men whose records show fair and con-
siderate service

ARMIsTIcE DAY PROCLAMATION
Gov. Clement Suggests That Vermont
ers Observe Recognition Day.

TO the People of Vermont: Nov. IL,
1918, stopped the frightful speed of
war machinery, indicated the day when
we might bring out troops home and
return to the wholesome pursuits of
life. They came home to us, read
ing their glory in nations eyes; and
that grateful nation looks to them to
support and sustain our splendid type
of civilization.
To those lads who will never return
TO the homes for which they fought,
no greater distinction can be paid them
to recall the memories of their brave
young lives and to determine for our
selves that the ideals which they cher
ished shall be carried forward. The
eleventh of November, Armistice day,
should be observed throughout this
country as an occasion when we pay
reverent tribute to our soldier dead and
do honor to our World war veterans
and the Americanization work of their
splendid organization.
II is exactly three hundred years.
and that also on Nov IL, since the
signing of the Msyfower compact, an
agreement TO make only just laws, to
abide by them and TO render due sub
mission and obedience TO authority Of
government The signing of the ar
mistice marks the origin of another
document dedicated TO that paramount
principle of the American Legion, the
maintenance of law and order, not by
force, but by law well conceived and
we'll executed.
The same spirit Of patriotism that
extended from the home threshold to
the front line trenches snimstes our
citizens to-day. suggest that all
Vermonters observe Nov. II. 1920. as
day Of recognition of our soldiers. l
recommend that we make it in our
homes, our schools and our eommuni-
ties such a day as shall serve to in
spire our people with love for their
country and with gratitude for its de-
Tenders. Percival w. Clement,
Governor.

were the fourth Maryland district,
eighth Minnesota, fifth Missouri, fif-

A further possible Democratic upset
appeared possible in the fourth Ten

Republican, was reported to have

TO TEST AIR
To See How Much Granite Dust There
Is Circulating.

Sidney r. katz. chemist of the
United States bureau of mines at
Pittsburg, Pa, arrived in Barre yester.
day, and as soon as possible will begin
scientific study in an endeavor to de-
termine how much dust exists in the
air in various sect ions of Barre and
how much exists in the stonesheds.
where the granite cutters are eontin.
uslly working
As already mentioned, the investi.
CATION will be made scientifically, the
object being TO determine how many
particles of dust are in the unit or
cubic foot of air. Really, it is another
part of the research work for the
elimination of tuberculosis, though not
specifically named as such. and it part
of an extensive investigation carried
on by the bureau Of mines in the
study of the dustiness in mines and
mineral industries in various parts of
the country.
Mr. Kstz was to-day unpacking mi.
croscopes and other paraphernalia re.
quired in the work in the Granite
Manufacturers association rooms in
the Averill block, and aside from this
was making preliminary preparations
10 start the investigation at once. The
Granite Manufacturers association is
cooperating with him in every posi-
bic way, as are local physicians inter-
ested in the investigation that was
started many months ago in the gran.
ite industry here.
Incidentally, letter was received by
a local physician this morning from
the Harvard medical department of
industrial hygiene, Boston, stating its
to participate in the prob
lem of dust control in the granite in
dustry here. and suggested that con-
ference on the matter be arranged.

SEVEN CENT FAIR A WONDER.
Goddard Seminary's Entertainment
Efforts Successful.

The seven-cent fair at Goddard semi
nary last evening was the attraction
for more than 900 people, some coming
from Montpelier, Northfield, Water
bury and other surrounding towns to
see seven wonders of the world. In en-
tertaining, the fair could. not have
achieved higher merit; and in returns,
financially, it added good substantial
boost to the athletic treasury. Rough
ly estimated, about $l75 will be netted
after all expenses are paid.
Seven ticket agents were ready to
receive tickets at the doors when
throw open at 1907 to the l07 or more
people in line. In the various booths
were screened the wonders, Miss Betty
Brace divulging some startling Incl
dents of the past, present an. future
in palmistry as the Hindoo Fortune
Teller. After her supply of known
facts had been exhausted, Miss Rachel
Bolton relieved her, and succeeded as
well. "The Ossified Man" was subtle
scheme to get money, no other than
Hokus Pokus, the laboratory skeleton,
being exhibited for the occasion and
seven cents.

brought the applause.
Three OF the orchestra being absent,
dancers had to be satisfied with four
piece orchestra instead of seven, but
that was perfectly satisfactory and
dancing continued from a;27 to 1907
at seven cents per figure. Joseph
Leshey. director Of the fair, was floor
manager also. Minus two days, an
other fair will be held 367 days from
that of last evening.
