BOLIVIAN ROW EXPLAINED
Minister Says Mutiny Is Not of
Political Nature.

LIMA, Peru. March 4.-Little i'm
portance is seen in the mutiny of a
regiment of Bolivian soldiers early
Thursday morning at La Paz, it was
declared here today by Juan Manuel
Saino Bolivian minister to Peru. who
declared the mutiny was not of a po-
litical nature.
He said the declaration of q state of
siege in various provinces of Bo-
liva was merely precautionary
measure
The trouble began when six soldiers
were arrested by police at La Paz
shortly after midnight, Thursday
morning. The company to which the
mer belonged left it's barracks and,
followed by other units of the gar
rison at La Paz, marched toward po-
lice headquarters. An attack was
made upon the police station, but the
soldiers could not break in. During
the disorder four persons were killed
and several injured.
The people of La PaZ remained in
doors during the fighting.

A. P. GETS ELECTION RESULTS
IN HOURS-OFFICIALS WEEKS
System, Devised by Wilmer Stuart. Needs
$4,000 Men, Costs $25O,OOO. But Gets
Returns Fast and Correctly.

election night the mum bers only of the
successful candidates are transmitted
on the wires. occupying an insigniH-
cant amount of time.
This very efficient election machine
is composed of $4,000 men. several
hundred of whom are highly trained
experts and skilled accountants. To
keep the machine going fifteen hours
cost a quarter of a million dollars.
George Washington had been elect
ed two months when he found it out
Warren G. Harding knew that he had
been elected before the polls closed
in California. Imagine the millions
of people in the United States of to-
day held in Suspence for three weeks
with the presidency at stake. Nothing
else so disturbs the commercial life
of the nation as presidential cam
paign. while the possibility OF "a
change of administration may grave
ly effect our foreign relations.
Eliminates Chance Of Fraud.
The election system of the great
news organization in its very work
ings has reduced the possibility of
successful fraud to minimum. Eelc-
tion reporters gather the precinct to-
tails as these become n matter of rec
ord. City, ward and town totals are
preserved in permanent record by
the possibility of manipulation of the
returns in the interval between their
release to the press and the formal
delivery to the Secretary of State.
Any discrepancy between the grand
totals arrived at election night and
the results of the official canvass
would be noted at once and become
the subject of a searching investiga-
tion. if not by the state. assuredly
by the press in self-defense.
"As a matter of courtesy it is as
sumed that the official figures are
correct when they differ slightly from
the press totals. Twice. however. in
recent years Massachusetts has
"elected' the wrong candidate. In
both cases the supposedly defeated
candidate appealed on the ground
that the A. +. figures showed him the
winner A comparison proved the Of
fetal figures to be wrong and the
press figures correct in both in
stances.
THE Associated Press never pre-
diets an election result. Guessing and
speculation are strictly forbidden
The figures must tell their own
story" states the article, and eX
plains that even in 1916 the actual
figures did not definitely say that
Hughes was elected and that the A.
=. stuck to the figures and was the
first to announce the reelection of
President Wilson.

1000 U. S. SAILOR BOYS
MUST LEARN TO SWIM
Orders Sent to Atlantic Fleet for
Instruction to Take Place
in Cuban Waters.

NORFOLK. Va, March 5.-Orders
have gone down to Guantanamo that
some 1000 lads aboard the ships of
the Atlantic fleet who don't know
how to swim be taught to paddle
their own canoe before the fleet
comes north for the summer. They
will take to the nice, warm Cuban
water under the eyes of rough-to
gued. but highly efficient petty Of
ficers, who are widely known to be
proficient in the main business of the
Navy in any line-getting results.
Navy men are always apt to get
a ducking. 1t looks like plain sail
ing to see barefooted launch crews
whirl up to the gangway in smooth
water. but they have to do it every
day. They are the butchers anf bak-
ers and candleStick makers, boys of
the fleet, always on the go. And it's
something of trick to come along
side in a seaway without humping
somebody off the boat or carrying
away fender. to the profane wrath
of the bosun and Indignation of the
ship. A ships boat hops about like
IA flea on a hot griddle in surface
stir that leaves the ship as motion
less as the Statue of Liberty.
Hence. the order to teach the Navy
to swim. If lad is dumped over
board and can keep himself afioat
for a while, you can trust the Navy
in general to fish him safely out
finally. They are always pinning
medals on sailor folk for that.

ARGENTINA is RELIEVED
BY VETO OF TARIFF BILL
Defeat of Fordney Measure Gives
Importers Chance to Re-
adjust Relations.

BUENOS AIRES. March 5.-Reports
that the. Fordney emergency tariff bill
had been vetoed by President Wilson
were received with relief by news
papers and importers here. 1t was
said that this veto signified a con-
tinuance of the growing business re-
lations between Argentina and the
United States, which would have been
seriously embarrassed by the Ford
ney measure.
The possibility that similar legis-
lation may be adopted by the United
States Congress is generally recog-
niZed, but it is pointed out that a
delay. even for few months, will
give an opportunity for readjustment
so that the effect of such legislation
would be less serious.
One business authority declared to-
day that exports from Argentina were
increasing and would lead toward
better exchange conditions. which
would encourage the resumption of
business. This tendency. he declares
would be strengthened by the veto of
