ALL VOTING PLACES
Count Of Ballots Begins This Morn
ing and Will Continue All Day
Before Result Is Decided

Belfast, May 25-Electon officials
this morning began at O'Clock to
count the votes cast in Ulster yester
day in the election of members of the
North Irish parliament. 1t was eX-
pected that when the canvassers 2d

in this city and possibly many dis
tricts outside, would be nown. In case
the count is not finished by O'Clock
the officials will adjourn until tomor
row morning.
All of the '6SS polling places in this
city wer ebusy yesterday and esti-
mates were made that fully 80 per
cent of the voters went to the polls.
Reports from Stradabane and other
important towns in Ulster indicated
that the vote would be very heavy.
Belfast had returned to almost nor

ment, reports reaching this city indi-
eating htat many. districts in Ulster
were similarly affected.
Crowds continued to walk the
streets until II O'Clock last night in
anticipation that trouble would occur
but at that hour armed soldiers sent
pedestrians to their homes. Now and
then. throughout the night, however,
their murmur could, at frequent inter-
walls, be heard the command of Halt,
hand upi" as the soldiers gathered in
the stragglers.
The intricate system of proportion
ate representation provided for under
the Irish act, almost precluded the
possibility of receiving complete re-
ports before the end of the week.

SET ON FIRE TODAY

Dublin, May 25. The Dublin
custom house was set on fire this
afternoon by large number of
Sim Feiners, says a statement
from Dublin Castle. BY the time
the firemen arrived the flames
had taken such hold it was doubt
full if much of the building could
be saved.
Firemen were prevented from
going to the flames quickly, and
crown forces who sought to reach
the building were fired on. A fight
followed which, the statement
said would be detailed later.
1t is reported that four police
men were wounded, seven Sim
Feiners we're killed, eleven wound
ed and sixty-five captured.

Intimidation Charge

Belfast, Ireland, May 25.-Whole-
sale charges of intimidation and i'm
personation during the balloting in
Ulster for members of the new North
ern parliament are being made by
both the Nationalists and the Union
lists.
A Nationalist newspaper cites doz-
ems of instances, with names, in which
it declares Nationalist voters in Bally-
macarret, across the river Lagan
from Ballast, was beaten on their
way to the poles, Or after voting,
thus preventing others from attempt
ing to cast ballots. The Unionists
likewise claim that their supporters
were prevented from exercising their
franchise in Nationalist districts.
Neither side appears to attempt to
conceal the fact that impersonation
was carried on to an unprecedented
extent.

BRAND to Be Supported


Paris, May 25.-There seemed lit
tie question when the chamber of
deputies met today that the govern
ment of Premier BRAND would be
given vote of confidence before adj
journment. The Premier's address
before the chamber yesterday, in
which he declared the present situa-
ton did not necessarily call for armed
occupation of the Ruhr regio nof Ger
many, was an evident disappoint-
ment to many of his followers, but 1t
did not appear that it would ALLEVIATE
many votes.
Newspapers of this city reflected
the disappointment felt in some quar-
ters, it having been expected that nj.
BRAND would take a strong attitude.
While neither the chamber nor the
general public are altogether con
vinced by the premiers arguments,
it is asserted they continue to extend
him confidence. Today's journals
generally reserved comment, but the
Figaro expressed the opinion which,
without doubt was held by a large
section of the general public.
"The only question which matters
and which really interests the coun-
try" said this newspaper. "is when
and how we are to be paid. The idea
has been put into the head of the
pubic that the Ruhr region is a pre-
ciOus pledge, the seizing of which
would almost amount to a partial
payment. That is the sole reason
why many Frenchmen wish to, see it
occupied. What France demands is
certainty of payment without which
she will roll into the abyss"

Soft. pliable "kid," that is as
strong and durable as it's gen.
uine prototype. from the in
testines of the whale: thick sole
leather of excellent quality from the
lining of the whales mouth; five or
more huge split sides Of tough
leather from the skin of the beluga,
the common dolphin of the North
Pacific: these are only few of the
many revolutionary products OBJ
tained from aquatic leather. the
manufacture of which has become
one Of the new important Industries
of the Pacific Northwest.
From an embryonic idea three
years ago to a practical method OF
utilizing annually millions OF dol
lars worth of otherwise wasted BY
products. and supplying new
source of sorely needed material. the
advancement of the industry has
been phenomenal.
The latest development Is the
utilization of the skins of sea lions
and seals, and the intestines and
mouth skin of the whale.s The In
testines of a sixty-foot whale meas
ure sixty to seventy-fve feet in
length, and about six inches In di
ameter, or, when opened and spread
out fiat, about eighteen inches wlde.
A satisfactory process has been
found to tan this material, produc-
ing a fine substitute for Kid.
LINING OF STOMACH.
The lining or wall of the whales
stomach, in some species a huge
sack several feet in diameter, is
converted into a leather, which In
thickness, texture, and strength re-
sembles the Alpine chamois or KID,
but is superior to 1t in being OF uni

machine which splits this has ten
foot rolls and works with remark
able precision.
The inside of the whales mouth
furnishes a skin which is tanned
and finished into a material that re-
sembles a side Of sole leather from
a bulls hide, differing only in
rib which runs through 1T at in
tervals of a half inch. This makes
an artistic and practically inde-
structible bag leather.
RESEMBLES CALFskIN.
The beluga measures eighteen to
twenty-five feet in length and
weighs around 1000 pounds. Its hide
can be split five or six times. each
resulting layer the thickness of calf
skin. with the added advantage that
all parts of every split are strong
and pliable, and capable of being
worked up and utilized in practi-
cally every manner that calfskin
can.
All types Of sharks-mud, sand.
hammerhead. white, basking or
giant shark-furnish valuable
leather. and the grain of this tough
product makes it priced for uphol-
stering, bag and trunk GOV vering,
etc. The skin of the average deep
sea shark, which is ten to twelve
feet in length, measures about thir-
ty-five square feet. This is split as
many as eight times.

81 then took two tiny little pebbles
and tapped them together quite
lightly under water, and it sounded
like a man knocking at the door.
"Reflecting upon various expert
ments, the thought occurred: If two
little stones tapped together can be
heard under water, why every tiny

make an audible click. j wonder il
there are creatures in the wafer,
