TO YANKEE MAN
American Douehboy is Named as
Benefactor in Will of Rich French
man, According to Word Re-
ceived In New York City.

The former American doughboy
who has gone back to his home in
New York City and who is probably
thinking of the long, cool drinks
that could be had in France, is going
to hear good news, says Bordeaux
dispatch to the Stars and Stripes.
According to the will of Leon Ponce,
a wealthy vineyard owner who re-
Gently died, the former doughboy is
given the ownership of one Of the
vineyards.
Think of that In a dry country,
and probably longing for drink OF
something besides water-to be
made owner of vineyard. The
lucky soldier is Sergeant Harry Turk,
who lives at 945 Tiffany street, New
York City.
According to the story told here,
Turk, who was a member of the
Forty-seventh coast artillery corps,
was stationed in a camp on the
Gironde During the celebration of
the armistice, girl fell into the
river and Turk with difficulty saved
her life.
When he brought the girl to the
shore the popuface surrounded him
and bestowed kisses upon the cheeks
of the blushing sergeant of artillery.
He managed to escape the barrage
and a few days later refused the
offer of large cash award. His
outfit returned to the states, but the
deed lived in the mind of Leon
Ponce, whose daughter, Lily Ponce,
was the one saved from the Gironde.
When he died and his will was read,
the act was rewarded. n. Louis
Signanon, a lawyer of Bordeaux, has
sailed for the United States to in

Unthlnkino Tourists Deface Natural
Beauty of Yellowstone BY Incrib-
ina Names and Crude Sen

Unthinking tourists who deface the
beautiful natural formations of YeE
lowstone National park by writing
their names and crude sentiments in
geyser bowls and on hot springs ter
races are meeting with quick disci-
pine says a telegraph story.
Under an effective system of regis
tration, every tourist entering the
park now is being checked in on ar
rival and checked out on departure
and his method of travel noted In
his own automobile, the state number
of the machine is recorded. With
such information available, converse
tfons like the following some times
are heard over the park telephone
system:
Hello. hello. Is this the north

If he. or she, is willing to remedy the
damage by effacing the writing, the in

otherwise, the law takes its course
before United States commissioners

ties are provided by statute for injur-
ing the formations in any way.
In all justice to American tourists,
however. Yellowstone officials say
they have a minimum of difficulty in
enforcing the regulations.

The Afternoon Figures.
The total number of votes cast up
to 2 o'clock today was the following:
Make But Few Mistakes.

The mistakes made by the sisters
today were perhaps watched for with
critical eyes by the men, but at that
they didn't have whole lot to laugh
at For instance, man in one ward
this morning called his name and
number, got his ballot, then stepped
out of line to look for his wife," and
when told by the judges to get back
into line and vote that ticket tried
to give his ticket to his wife. An
other man, who has been voting for
several years, said he didn't see "his
number anywhere" although the reg
istry book was under his nose.
The women made few mistakes, for
beginners, and most of these were
natural. Some of them failed to re-
member their registration numbers,
and gave their house numbers. One
woman voted for president and vice
president only and then wanted to
know if she could have her ballot
back after it had been dropped into
the box, but the judge said no. One
or two Of them admitted that they
voted so hurriedly they did some
scratching in the wrong place. But
perhaps on this score they were no
more to blame than the men-Only
bit more honest.
Returns Will Be Slow.
Returns will be slow tonight. The
Gate City will show all of the ma
tional returns possible to secure, be-
ginning ait 6 o'clock tonight. Every

Seven Thousand Voters are
Being Run Through Mill
With Speed and Precision
That is Marvellous.
SOME RECORDS MADE
Third Ward Holds Top of List
Both For Size and Speed
With 555 Votes in $50
Minutes

Keokuk votes were three-fOurth
cast by two o'clock this afternoon.
The seven thousand vote bugaboo
which was staring everyone in the
face yesterday was proving not so
unsurmountable hurdle as had been
first feared.
The women, who were voting for
the first time, were voting early to-
day, and voting with precision and
decisiveness of some of the veteran
masculines. There were few
breaks, few mistakes, of course,
but even in their superiority of hav-
ing been endowed with voting privi-
leges for years by virtue of being
born OF the masculine sex, the men
could find little fault, little to criti-
else about the way their newly
enfranchised sisters cast their bal
lots.
/ In practically every ward in the
city women were the first in line to
cast their ballots this morning. In
the fifth precinct by noon, the Off
cials said that the biggest majority
|iof the women had voted. In other
precincts there was the same story.
Whole Families Went.
Men escorted their wives, their
mothers, and their sisters to the
polls; and in some instances hubby
was escorted to the polls by his wife.
At least it looked that way in few
cases. There was no question but
that when everything was said and
done, the women were there, and
there early.
Between the hours of 1880 and 200
o'clock this afternoon practically
4 700 voters had cast their ballots.
1t was estimated that by three
O'Clock the FIVE thousand mark would
have been passed. This would leave
four hours in which to vote the re-
manning two thousand.
The banner voting was accom-
plished in the third ward, due prob
ably to the efficiency of the system
evolved by Ralph B. Smith, and oper-
ated by Miss Catherine Schenk. This
was a card index for checking, and
Miss Schenk, operating the system.
and another checker using the poll
book sent the voters to the judges
faster than the booths would accom-
modate them and the line was
stopped several times.

SEARCH MEN
: FOR GUNS HERE
No RevoIvers Found on Men
in Lunch Rooms; Action
Was Taken in Booze Feud

Roundsman William Calvin re-
ceived a report about midnight last
night that number of the men
who hang around the lunchrooms
all night had revolvers on them.
The officer stopped two of the men
at the corner of State and Smith
streets about 1890 o'clock and
searched them. but found no guns.
1t is said that there Is a feud be-
tween bootleggers in. this city and
it Is likely that this report was
made by bootleggers who feared
that their enemies would make a
gun attack on them.
A warrant was sworn out Monday
night by Walter Reilly. counsel for
Joseph Brombert. after the latter
had been held In $500 bail on an
assault charge preferred by Max
