CHICAGO, January 2o-A general
recount of all the ballots cast in the
election of November 8, 1882, was Or
dered today by County Judge Edmund
Z. Jarecki.
Recount of the 1,394,175 ballots cast
In Cook County (Chicago) was de-
manded by a group of civic and club
leaders after widespread frauds had
been uncovered in the election contest
between Judge Samuel Heller and Err
win j. Hasten.
An attempt was made by an attor-
ney to prevent the vast recount, on
the grounds that statute of 1872
required destruction of ballots within
six months after election unless a con-
test meanwhile was filed The attor-
ney too, protested that to exhume all
the ballots of the 1882 general election
would cast cloud upon the entire
slate of officials elected, from city Off
GERS to Congressman. and even the
presidential electoral college, pending
the result of the retabulation
Judge Jarecki. however, reiterated
his stand for clean elections as the
foundation of democracy and ordered
the recount.
The proponents of the action had
guaranteed personally the costs of the
count. estimated at $4,000.

Negotiations are pending for the ac-
QUESTION of land at the intersection OF
Nebraska and Massachusetts, avenue for
the proposed memorial to Gen. Artemus
Ward, revolutionary hero. who turned
over command Of the Continental Army
to George Washington in July, ITS.
This is the next step to be con-
cluded, the Fine Arts Commission an

rial project which Harvard University
is planning to erect in memory OF It's
alumnus and Massachusetts, patriots. 1t
is possible that arrangements Will be
concluded this week for the purchase
of sufficient land for suitable circle
In which the statue Of Ward will stand.
The project has been considered for
several years, and questions involving
the site were considered at a joint
session of the Fine Arts Commission
an dthe National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
At the time the Ward memorial was
first proposed, Massachusetts avenue
was the only main thoroughfare to be
extended in that section to the District
line. In the last few months, how
ever Nebraska avenue has been opened
up This changes the early plans for
the circle. which, it is understood. must
be modified now to conform with the

the proposed site, already has donated

sary land The rest of it will have to
be purchased from private owners.

circling slowly around the block with

with those around her and occasionally
stopping to pet a dog that played about
