WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Speak-
er Joseph w. Byrns seems to have
special trouble in announcing cor
rectly the house votes on the util-
tiles death sentence"
On the first vote more than a
month ago he made it 215 to 142
against the sentence
Newspapermen checked up the
roll call and found that actually
2l6 members were recorded in the
opposition.
He missed by one vote again
this week The vote was announc-
ed from the chair as 209 to 1855.
Again newspapermen counted noses
and found that actually the total
was 210. 1t was finally recorded as
210 in the congressional record.
A mistake is not to be wondered
at. in view of the confusion in the
house during votes. Byrns does not
count noses himself, but merely
announces the figures made up by
the house staff of expert calcula-
tors.
The house roll is called twice for
a vote, supposedly to give all the
members a chance to record their
stand correctly. This process takes
about as minutes. After the roll is
called twice, members may come

UNCLE WIGGILY FINDS
THE HAT

Uncle Wiggily was pulling up his
fishing pole and line out Of Green
Lake. He felt sure he had caught
a fish in the tea strainer he was
using in place of a hook, for he
didn't want to hurt the mouth of
any fish on a sharp hook.
"Hurray!" said the rabbit gentle
man to himself as he felt some
thing heavy on his line. I've
caught a big fish, I'm sure. I have
had good luck so far even if
haven't found Nurse James lost hat
with red roses on it. I'll look for
that after I land my fish
So he kept on pulling up his pole
and line and the tea strainer on
the end of the line. The strainer
came nearer and nearer to the top
of the water Uncle Wiggily saw a
flash of something red.
I've caught a goldfish" he joy
fully cried. Just what I wanted!
A goldfish that can put in a glass
bowl and watch swim around and
around. 1t will be company for me
in the evening evening! Hurray!"
Higher and higher out of the
water he lifted his line. The flash
of red was brighter now.
Twas Nurse James Hat
oh, I must be very careful, "
said the rabbit gentleman to him
self, that my red goldfish doesn't
, flop out Of the strainer when I get
him up out of the water If he
flops back into the lake I may new
er catch him again. I must be
careful. I think I'll give a big pull
all OF a sudden and land the fish
on shore behind me-"
So, just as some of you do Wher
you catch a fish for the first
time. Uncle Wiggily suddenly flip.
ped his pole over his head Out o.
the water popped the tea strainel
and the red thing that was in it.
Back over the rabbit gentleman
head it flew and landed with a flol
in the grass.
I've caught it! I've caught m,
goldfish and now III have a pet!
joyfully shouted Uncle Wiggily
He hoped back where the te;

seeing a goldfish Hopping on the
grass Mr.. Longears saw Nurse
James new hat with the red roses
on it. He had caught the muskrat
ladys hat in the tea strainer.
The red roses fooled me- said
Uncle Wiggily as he picked up the
hat and shook from it the water,
Il thought surely I had red gold
fish. But it's only Nurse James hat
with red roses on it. I guess she'll
be glad 1 found it for her. 1t must
have blown from her bureau out
Of the open window and into the
lake. There it sunk and I fished
it up. 7 hope the water hasn't
spoiled it."
What Funny Adventure!
The hat was quite all right, I'm
glad to say. For it was made of
rubber. as were the red roses, and
the lake water didn't do any harm.
But I wish I had a fish" said
Uncle Wiggily. I'll try again.
Maybe this time I'll catch one" He
hung Nurse James rubber hat on a
branch to dry and tossed his tea
strainer back into the lake. Soon
, he felt another tug on his line and

THE COURT DECIDES


By decision of the state supreme court
yesterday, the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trlct election Of last February is again
declared null and void, a previous decis-
ION rendered by the appellate court on
June being upheld
In terms which the layman can under
stand, the court refused the plea of Miss
Winnie Barry and Frank II. McIver. in
cumbent assessor-collector and treasurer
respectively, that the So-caled star
votes be included in the count of the
February ballots. As the election had
no legal standing the supposed election
of Charles Bratton and +. n D. Hatch
TO succeed Miss Barry and McIver is
also without standing and they have no
claim to the offices to which thev be-
lieved they were elected. Miss Barry and
Mclver continue to retain their offices.
The same Is true of Director Ira Aten
of the El Centro division, who was re-
elected at the February election
Charles H. Morrow, director from the
Brawley division, Is also without legal
standing, and has no hold-over status
such as applies to the FL Centro director.
The property qualification act of 1888,
under which the election was held, is de-
clared unconstitutional.
In all probability special election will
be called to fill the offices of assessor
collector, treasurer and director from the
Ell Centre division. 1t may also include
a director for the Brawley division,
though Morrow may be appointed as di-
rector by the supervisors, if such a course
is decided upon
The election will be held under the
general election laws of California. The
%
being declared unconstitutional by the
decision which was upheld yesterday,
has meantime been repealed by the 1885
legislature
The ill-advised attempt to defeat the
purposes of the property qualification
act by deciding over title to several lots
in Imperial and Holtville, to several
thousand valley residents, can Justly be
blamed for the February election fl
asco A small group of those who oppos-
ed the act chose this method of attack
ing the constitutionality of the lava
vexatious and manifestly unfair method
so far as the best interests of the valley
are concerned.
To this group can be charged the tur-
MOL and uncertainty which has sur
rounded district affairs for the past six
months, with two sets of officials and
clerks in the assessor-collector's and
treasurers offices = condition unfair
to the taxpayers Of the district There
were other methods open to those op-
posed to the property qualification act
whereby its constitutionality might be
challenged with less turmoil and less
annoyance to ALL but they did not see fit
to take it, probably being inspired by a
wish to embarrass the majority Of the
district board as much as they could,
rather than exhibiting any concern for
the welfare of the district and its tax
payers.
A special election will bring the issues
involved once more before the people Of
the county, and it will be up to them to
decide the course to be pursued.

down into the we'll of the house
and ask the clerk how they are re-
corded
II the record is wrong, or the
member has changed his mind, he
can have that fixed. Other men,
bers who got in late or didn't hear
their names called in the noise
and chattering can fix their votes
too.
Calculators then quickly total
the columns of ayes and nays and
hand the figures to Byrns, who an
nounces it.
1t is almost-but not quite-im-
possible to get the exact total on a
house vote from the press galleries.
1t can be done, however, if great
care is taken to follow the changes
made by members when they come
down to the well of the house.
With all the care that is taken
by the house employees, members
almost invariably arise the day af-
ter a vote and complain that they
have not been recorded properly in
the congressional record. The US
ual statement is that they are
shown as not voting when in fact
they did vote. The house always
agrees to fix this by correcting the
permanent congressional record.

DEMPSEY STARS


San Diegos exposition greeted its two
millionth visitor yesterday in the per-
son Of Los Angeles girl, and crowned
her queen for day.
The large number who have seen the
exposition So far prove the success Of
the fair beyond any doubt and it is to be
expected that several more million, in
spired by the tales of those who have al
ready seen It, will pass through the gates
before the scheduled close on next Arm
istice day
While the queen for day undoubt-
edly attracted considerable attention,
she was outshone by a counter attraction
in the person of a man who some 15 or
Is years ago was anathema to many mil
lions in this nation and upon whom an
attempt was made to place the stigma Of
Stacker, the most OpprobiOuS title that
could be given to a man in the days Of
the World war and Immediately there
after
The man was Jack Dempsey. former
heavyweight champion of the world and
unquestlonably one of the most popular
figures in the public eye Of this nation
today. Yesterday kids fought to get
near him and shake his hand or touch
his clothes, and many were forced to be
content with having seen him. And their
parents will in all probability be proud
and happy that the youngsters got so
much thrill and Joy out of seeing him.
The transformation from Dempsey
the Stacker" TO Dempsey the hero" is
nothing short of phenomenal. And it is
due to nothing but the good sense of the
former boxer, who kept his head up, out
of the ring as we'll as in it and has more
than made good. The charges of slack
erism" against him were ill-founded. If
he was technically guilty of any evasion
and the courts declared he was mott
was due to bad advice from those who
were supposed to advise him rather than
any lack of patriotism or courage
The unfair charge hurt Dempsey per-
sonally more than any blows he ever took
in the ring, but he took it as he took the
blows-standing up-and that is why he
has the respect and something stronger,
of millions today.
A big over-grown good-natured boy, he
declared last night that he had 'the fin
est day in my life" principally because
Of the alteration the kids shOwered on
him. Kids are often better Judges of the
real worth of a man than their elders.
