The entertainment given in the large Eagle Hall Friday night in honor of Captain John Borden and his party of guests. who are on an Arctic cruise aboard MT. Borden's yacht, the Northern Light, was a great success in every way. The entertainment was given under the auspices of the Nome Kennel Club. which is deeply indebted to Mir Borden for the deep interest that renowned sportsman has taken in the activities of the Nome Kennel Club.
 This is MT. Borden's first visit to Nome since 1916, when he and his ship. the Polar Bear. were wrecked on Pinnacle Rock. He is now on an extensive pleasure and scientific cruise in these waters. and the people of Nome were last night given an op- portunity of renewing their friend ship and acquaintance with him.
 MT. Borden created the Borden Marathon Cup Race. the Dog Clas- sic of Seward Peninsula when he was in Nome on his first visit.
 The program which was render ed at the entertainment, began at 8:30 sharp, before packed house. The entertainment, for the most part. was Native in character, and dealt with things purely Alaskan.

MANY VOTES HELD IRREGULAR.
Recount at Mount Rainier Shows
Whole Election May Be Invalid.

MOUNT RAINIER, Md. May 3
(Specian.-Fred Negus. former mayor
of Mount Rainier, was elected mayor
at the regular election yesterday over
John II. Beall the present mayor, by
q plurality of 49 votes. Burt E. Sager.'
present councilman for the fourth
ward, was reelected. receiving 90
votes, as against Gilbert Hughes GO
votes and Paul r. Hysons A..
ID. j. Orcutt and Norman A. Pruitt
were tied in the race for councilman
of the first ward, each receiving 10
votes, as shown on the first count
of the ballot at 1870 o'clock last night.
Upon recount, however, it was
found that great many votes We're
irregular, some voters having voted
for two councilmen, whereas they
should have voted for the councilman.
Of their own Ward only 1t appears
that the same form of ballot was used
for all voters. whether they were
from the wards voting for councilmen
or not. This appears to have caused
great deal OF confusion in voting
and may invalidate the whole election.

March /, 1927, to and including April
80. 1927, there were 103 additional
such demands.
During the month of March, 1927.
so cases involving jury demands we're
finally disposed of,
ION April 80, 1927, jury trials in
the District of Columbia branch of
the Police Court numbered, therefore,
4S7.
ION March 2S, 1927. all jury trials
in the Police Court were suspended
urtiJ July 1927, because of the ex-
haustion of the Appropriation to pay
jurymen.
From these records ii will be seen
that jury trials are being demanded
in the District of Columbia branch
Of the Police Court at the rate OF
nearly two day. 1t is estimated
that on July /, 1927, such pending
cases will number approximately 500.
THE great ma ajority of these jury
demands are for alleged violations or
the traffic act involving driving While
intoxicated. where the minimum
penalty is fixed at 800 and imprison-
ment for not less than so days. 1t is
this penalty that causes an almost
universal demand for trial by jury.
"The District Of Columbia branch
OF the Police Court is allowed but two
days a week for jury trials. with two
courts holding such trials simulta-
neously. 1t has been found that not
more than two cases can be heard be
fore one jury in any one day.
'At this rate, with four cases dis
posed of daily or eight cases for the
two days, it will be seen that six
jury demands will he undisposed of at
the end of each week. Undef existing
conditions it will be readily observed
that it will be impossible to keep up
with the current cases, not to mention
the disposal of the estimated number
of 500 cases which viii be pending
when the hearing of jury cases again
commences on July /, 1927.
Your committee is of the opinion
that the remedy for this situation is
either a reduction of the penalty for
driving while intoxicated, whereby
trials will be had before the court
without a Jury. or an increase in the
number Of Judges of the police court
by two, and corresponding increase
in the number Of assistants to the
corporation counsel for prosecutions"
