 Result of Election
 Capetown, Feb. s.-GeneraI elec- ton were held throughout the Union of South Africa today.
 The South African party, led by Premier Jan Christian Shuts: the nationalists, under the leadership of General Hertzog. and the laborits, whose chief has been Col Creswell, have been engaged in a three cornered campaign, the main issue of which was between Gen. Shuts and Gen. Hertzog over the latter's policy of secession from the empire
 Vital Question Arises
 London, Feb. S.-No less vital in issue than the secession of an inn portant state of the British empire by ballot arises in the election today of a new legislative assembly in the Union of South Africa. Tn England it is considered that few more inn portant elections have taken place in a British dominion.
 Broadly, the question is whether South Africa. comprising the provin- ces of the Cape of Good Hope, Natal T>ransvaal and Orange Free State, shall continue as one of the self governing dominions of the empire, or whether the South African Union shall set up as an independent re- public.
 Smuts Hnds 6,OO0, ,OOO.
 At the head of tho loyalist sectiqn of the South African population of approximately 6.000.0o0 is General J. c. Smuts.s former Boer general now prime minister of the Union. Opposed to i'm is General 1IertZog. also former Boer military leader.
 General Smuts represents the large British element of the popuIa- ton and that portion of the Dutch population which believes that tho Union formed in 1909 is the solu- ton of the political problem. Gen. Hertzog leads the "irreconcilables," |" the opponents of the lost cause of the Boers.
 Hertzog Won in 1920.
 Tn the general elections of March 1920. the Hertzog party obtained A seats in the legislative assembly, thus becoming numericall yte largest party.
 The result today Is said to hinge on the success of the third, or bal ance of power party, that of labor. English political observers anticipate a small but working majority for General Shuts. The labor party re- turned 27 members to the legisla- ture in the last election but it pre-

Fight With Police

TWO Strlkbrea kerS, working on an emergency wagon repairing g trolley wire this morning got into an alter cation with traffic policeman and one of them attacked the officer with a wrench. Both strikebreakers were beaten up" by the policeman. The two men were taken to a hospital and a third, who ran away was afterward arrested.
 Albany. N Y., Feb. s.-Heavily guarded by mounted police and pa trolmcn in automobiles the first car to be operated by United Traction Go. since its employees went on strike a week ago last Saturady left the north Albany barns at 7:20 o'clock amid 0 crowd of more than 100 jeering men After the car had proceeded a short distance down Broadway toward the business section, a rock was hurled at it but missed it's mark.
 The car manned by strikebreakers, was nearly filled with company guards. Its windows were screened and before it started several auto mobile loads of private guards were sent over the route to be followed men being left at various corners. Police lined the streets. Following the car and the police guard were several autom obiles filled with newspaper reporters.
 Tho car had hardly left the barn when the+-crowd swarmed about it, making it necessarily for the motorman to stop it to escape in3urinE the pereStrians. The mounted police quickly cleared the way and the car resumed it's journey.
 Company Obeys Order
 The company began operations to- day upon order of the public service commission with men imported from New York city. An offer by the com- pany to take, back their employees with seniority rights restored was not ac- cepted by the men at meetings last week. The company refused to pay

Friday evening Nosey and the crowd
gathered had visions of another at

until a girlish little woman came aind

the unexpected return of the husband

the manner in which she disposed OF

he merely forgot his package that

Noscy was dragging his tired lean
body home when he bumped into a
stout gentleman who almost fell 10
the sidewalk, but drew himself up
proudly and informed Nosey that he
was George Washington. Nosey asked
him il he did not mean Booker I.
Washington when he got a glimpse
of the fat gentleman's face. lie still
contended that he was the real George
and offered to share with Nosey some
of his "hootch." Nosey politely re
fused because he might get to feel
like he was Abraham Lincoln. and
persuaded the good gentleman TO go
home, and earned the thanks OF his
wife. George Washington's" car was
found Monday at doth aud Prairie
avenue, but the car bore initials which
would not fit George Washington. yet
there is story about that gentleman

but both the services and the deeds

INF COURSE, everybody has
III heard about Common law
marriages, but ii is rather doubt
full if many of the pining couples who
are seeking way out of their "dif-
ficulties' have heard about "a mar
rage in bond" 1t only means that
the girl can go on and get married
il il is to her advantage (and the adj
vantage Of the other MANI, but she
docs il under bond" In the end il
means that though the girl marries
a perfectly nice fellow, she still is
under bond" held by the other man,
and woe be unto her il she skips her
bond, as the outside man comes right
in and cashes in. 1t was this that
caused that prominent society lady
on And street to lose her chance for
a good marriage. The eligible" gent
found out that she would have to
marry him under bond" and he did
not like the partnership plan in his
married life. She is still after him,
but he has had his eye teeth cut"
and won't bulge.

G ONE funny things have an elc-
ment of the tragic in them. Nosey
was shutting along 37th street
and stopped at Wabash avenue TO see
what the crowd was gathered about.
Two 4-ycar-old kids were just scrap
ping to beat three of a kind. Nosey
stopped them, much to the disgust of
the fight mad spectators, and asked
the kids what caused all the hard feel
ings. The little curly headed chap,
still under four years, informed Nosey
that the other had called him "pimp"
and he had called him one back and
then the fun began" Noscy sent
the kids on their different ways, wink
ed at the laughing fight fans, and
strolled solemnly off, thinking and
wondering how they got it so young.

they are IS! 80. .-sss.us. /. sssss
