STECK INCREASES

Has 5000 Margin Over
Brookhart on Incomplete
Figures in Race.

Unofficial information indicated fur
ther gains yesterday for Daniel f.
Steck, the Democratic contestant, as
the tabulation of the vote of Potta-
wattamie County progressed in the
Senate recount in the Iowa senatorial
election.
Pottawattamie County, one of the
Steck strongholdS. was thought to
have been one of the counties in which
large numbers of arrow ballots were
cast, and where Senator Brookhart's S
friends expected him to make sub
stantial gains. The latest figures now
indicate Steck gain there in excess of
200. The Brookhart supervisor stated
that should the committee count all
the arrow ballots for Steck, he would
gain POT votes over the State auditor S
report.
Loses i'm So Counties.
The official Senate report made
public yesterday for 63 counties, in
Guiding Poweshiek and Ringgold, re-
duced Steck's net gain in the Senate
recount to 5000. 1t gave Steck 251,-
I'll and Brookhart 242 500 uncontest-
ed votes and showed that 1897 Steck
and 4,435 Brookhart ballots had been
challenged. The total vote was 500,-

In the State auditors report the
same counties showed a total of i96,-
9S7 votes, or BIG less than counted.
These additional votes, coming from
correction of clerical errors and from
the counting of votes not tabulated in
the State, were divided zoos to SteCk

CITY HEADS SEEK MORE FUNDS
FOR BETTER STREET LIGHTING
Aid to Safety Is Cited;
Only $4,000 Now
Available.
Work to Be Rushed
on Six Highways
This Year.

Recognizing the Importance of we'll
lighted streets in reducing accidents,
the commissioners, it is understood,
will endeavor to obtain a slight In
crease in the next District approprla-
ton act over the amount available this
year for improved street lighting
For the present fiscal year the
street lighting department has two
allotments. One of S590.000, most of
which goes for maintenance OF exist
ing lights, and S35,0OO Tor extensions
and requirements.
officials cannot discuss what is IN
their estimates, but it is reliably re
ported. they have included in the list
of supplemental needs now being pre-
pared a small amount for street light
ing over and above what they have
sought for street illumination in the
regular estimates.
Even if the legislators should allow
a moderate increase for street lighting
in the next District bill. city officials
admit it will take Il long period of
years to bring Washington's street
lighting system up to what they be-
lieve it should be.
Plans Prove Costly.
About two years ago a group of Dis
trict officials and outside experts
mapped out a modern street lighting
system for the city and found it would
cost S1,250,000 to make it realiZa-
ton.
For the past few years the appro-
priation for new lights has been only
S35 900, augmented by few thousand
dollars a year taken from the lump
sum for maintenance. 1t will be seen,
therefore. that at that rate, progress
IN, a
gram for better illumination will bo
very gradual and extend over a con-
siderable number of years.
Engineer Commissioner Bell, dis
cussing the street lighting situa-
ton before he left the city Friday, ex-
pressed regret that the Commission
ers have not been able to devote more
money to street lighting each year
and called attention to factor which
will tend to retard the final compile
tion of the S1.250,000 program. He
said.
LAS new lights are installed each
yeaU they Will have the effect of in
creasing the maintenance cost of the
entire system the following year and
this, in turn, will reduce the amount
that may be spent the second year
for new installations. i am anxious,
however, to make progress as rap
idly as we can with available funds,
because I realize the value of well
lighted streets in reducing the mod
ern death toll from street accidents y
Six Main Streets in Plan.
Warren B. Hadley, electrical en-
gineer of the District said yesterday
that six of the main arteries of travel

posts and lights of greater visibility
within the current fiscal year, and
that a large part of the work will be
completed within the present calen-
dar year. The program of work for
the immediate future follows:

sBy the Associated Press
PARIS, August 22.-Although an
official telegram from Beirut today
says that "all is quiet in Syria" other
dispatches report the wounding of a
.French general and his aide near
damascus and the destruction of a
French airplane over the beleagued
;citadel of Suediah in the Jebel Druse
district
An official report says that a
French military airplane sent to carry
supplies to the garrison at Suediah,
capital of the Jebel DruSe area, fell
in flames over the citadel the pilots
being burned to death. This is the
first inkling received through official
channels that Suediah is still besieged
by the Jebel Druse tribesmen, who
nebelled against the French in Syria
jon July "a.
Attacked BY Natives.
The semi-official Havas Agency this
evening reports that Gen. Soule, while
inspecting French outposts along the
railroad from Damascus to Ezra, was
attacked by a band of natives and
slightly wounded. His aide, Capt
Degoutelle, also was wounded.
Another official dispatch received
today from Gen. Sarrail. high com
lnissioner in Syria, announced that the
Druse tribesmen have released rs
French prisoners.
Altogether the situation in the
Jebel Druse district remains very
obscure.
Fighting has been under way in
Syria since July "a, when the tribes
men surprised and maSSacred

Jor a general uprising. The French
newspapers early this month began a
demand for the recall of Gen. Serial

The Denarius

The word penny occurs number Of
times in our English version of the
New Testament, especially in the four
Gospels; for instance, Matt. 20:2:
"And when he had agreed with the
laborers for a penny a day, he sent
them into his vineyard" The coin to
which the name penny is given was
the denarius, Roman silver coin in
circulation in the time of our Lord
and the apostles. 1t was the principal
silver coin then in use throughout the
Roman empire. From the parable Of
the laborers in the vineyard it would
seem that denarius was then the or
binary pay for days labor.
