Youngsters Injury
 Not Yet Diagnosed
Hit By Auto Yesterday-May Have Skull Fracture;
 Man Walks Into Moving Car

Result of an x-ray taken to de- termine whether or not Francis Barton, 3, son of MT. and Mrs. Will liam Barton of 1872 East Main street has a fractured skull had not been learned at St. Mary's hospital this morning. The boy was injured yes- terday when hit by an auto driven by Miss Mae Keefe, of 84 Earring ton avenue, according to police.

Continued from Page D through the night to October 1, a strange situation has risen.
 Modern leases are usually ex.' plicit as to when a tenant must move. They provide that the apart ment has been leased flor a term Of one year, beginning on the first of October, 1886, and ending on the thirtieth of September, l937." This, provision would seem to leave no possible question as to when ten- ant is required to vacate his old quarters and to move into his new home.
 Yet the explicit language of the, lease creates a very real problem. Old apartments must be vacated on the thirtieth, but the possession Of the new apartment may not, under the terms of such lease, be taken until October lst. If rigidly applied. this provision would leave thou-l sands of families homeless for 'ai night. Their worldly gA:adS would be stored in moving vanA And fioa until the clock struck twelvA mark. ing the beginning of the first [eV of October would they have the R.Sht, to move into the new apartment.
 Question Solved
 Practically, the question has been solved by custom rather than by law, Although possession of the new home may not legally be taken until the first, 1t has become the es- abolished custom for tenants to move in on the day before.
 Today's moving Is no more like the carting of few years ago than the modern apartment Is like the old, The new apartments, from the warehouse mems angle are more dit- flcult to get into and out of than ever. Everything has to be put on the elevator, sent down to the base- ment, moved front or rear, and then hoisted up again. The good old days when men of brawn could walk piano out the main entrance are gone.
 Watch Your Furniture
 Those who have bought the apartment-sized furniture, which has been popular the past few years. will have little difficulty in grace fully getting in or out of the new suites--but those who still have the big pieces of fifteen, or even ten. years ago had better take measur- ing stck when hunting an apart ment.
 Moving vans are larger than ever, and the men who do the nov ing, smaller. Nowadays there Is no particular need for the muscle-inen who used to help a piano down four flights of stairs in one house and then push 1t up five in another All heavier pieces are now put Vn rubber tired "dollies" and rolled mo the elevator. As a matter of fact. warehouse men report that each year there are fewer and fewer pianos moved.

more predictions for the 1889 elec- ton. ...
 "You don't say, " remarked the nice woman in gray who didn't appear at all dismayed by being accosted by stranger In search of election sentiment.
 well, 1t does seem to me that Miss Egan might have been little more nearly truthful about how she came to leave the Demo- cratic party. Of course, I'm sure that my views aresrot important enough to count.
 But l always said that you could look for facts In 8 written report which you couldn't get by word of mouth. Now when MT. Culhane calls MT. Leary a pre- varicator because MT. Leary quotes figures on the city's finan- cial status, figures which have been audited and approved, I fail to sympathize with MT. Culhal.e's attitude even though I am @ Ite- publican and have been consider ing whether I should vote for such a strange ticket.
 You can say for me, young man, that the tactics of MT. Up- son, in whom I'm deeply disap- pointed, and the Independent leaders will keep me from the polls. You can say. ."
 "A Break"
 But the reporter took advan- tage of a passing fire truck re- spending to @ call to excuse him self. He will never know what h., could say further about that par ticular woman's political views.
 Ten days to go, thought the re- porter. Then all of these sudden ly found attacks on the adminis- tration and the counter charges of falsehood will be forever past. Until 1889, of course, 1t occurred to him, as he recalled his first interview. That's a strange thought, he unused. Just who will the Republicans nominate in 1889? Who is there left to take the bone in his teeth and drive against the city hall, sails filled with an op- timistic wind2
 Is 1t possible that the Inde- pendent Democrats will poll enough votes week from Tues day to give them better standing than the Republicans as a minor ity opposition to the Democrats? ? Will the opposition party be led by John H. Tobin, or will the Re- publcans return to their estab- lished conservatism and reorgan- ize within their own ranks9 Pos sibly the counting of ballots on the night of next October $ will have the most bearing on this phase of the 1899 political situation. But it's an interesting problem. The reporter stopped to get his breath. ...

in the matter of constructing rural
lines. Judge Henry A. Grady refused
them injunctive relief although he
held the contract with the power COM
pany creates a monopoly and that
dad faith" was exhibited by the pow
err company and coop directors.
A paragraph from the plaintiff ap-
pellants brief really describes the
whole row:
cit must be remembered that this
contest is between those interested in
preserving a cooperative for the bene-
fit of a large community and those
xx,bo ho1ioxyo that having obtained
control of the cooperative through
mem. ership upon it's board, they can,
by majority vote, retire the coopera-
