His actual majority was 1995, a gain of 131. Adair County, origin- ally credited to Cowherd, was carried by Major by 27% majority. He is credited “with carrying Lincoln County, adjoin- . ing Pike, by a majority of more than 1000, when he was credited in the first incomplete returns with only 500. As- sistant Attorney-General Atkinson said that Major’s majority in Lincoln Coun- : ty would be considerably more than 1000. | Major Makes Late Gains. There is some doubt about Major’s ma- jority in Monroe County. He has. been _ eredited with majorities ranging from - 1600 to 2100. The missing counties that have re- ‘ported during the past 2 hours have - shown steady gains for the Attorney- General. He carried Schuyler County, according to unofficial returns, by 537 ‘majority; St. Clair by 819, Taney by 100, Clark by 447, McDonald by 440, Reynolds by 800 and Oregon by 12%. The increasing gains for Major are : attributed by his campaign managers “to returns from farming districts throughout the State. The early esti- mates, his managers say, were based “upon returns from county seat — and adjoining precincts in which Cow- herd his heaviest vote. iS centers districts removed from the county seat centers practically all . gave heavy majorities for Major, thus qnereasing his lead in nearly all the 90 counties he carried, his managers say e unofficial returns from St. Louis County have not been received. Cow- ‘ nerd has been credited with a majority cf 500 in all estimates. The Major man- agers are now claiming’ te carried the ‘county by 200, but have no figures to support their estimates. The three principal cities of the state, St. Louis, Kansas City, including Jack- | * gon County, and St. Joseph, including -* Puchanan County, gave Cowherd a ma- ‘jority of 30,722 over Major. The unof- ‘ficial returns show that Cowherd has ’ carried 22 other counties, but that out- ‘side of Lafayette, Platte and Clay his majorities were small. Practically all of the big Democratic counties through- out the State piled up big majorities for Major, enabling him to cut down Cow- herd’s city lead to such an extent as to throw doubt upon the final result. Cowlierd’s Manager Claims 2000 Lead. John T. Wayland of Kansas Citv, campaign manager of William 8S. Cow- herd, told a Post-Dispatch reporter over the long distance telephone Friday that tomplete returns which he had com- | piled from 113 out of the 114 counties ¢ show Cowherd leading Major by approx- imately 2000 votes. _ “It-ts possible,” said Wayland, “that the official count may show some dis- repanctes in these figures but the dif- _ ference will not amount to more than : @ few hundred votes. We have the of- al returns from 70 counties and these f slight differences in one or two bes from the returns recently pub- ted in the newspapers.

Joseph Warren The fire started on the third floor, and the flames were bursting from the win- dows on that floor before firemen ar- rived. Two alarms were sentry in from Grand avenue and Morgan street, and Chief Swingley hurried from his office at the city hall to supervise the fight- ing of the fire. The house, a fine three-story mansion, stands near the eastern entrance of Vandeventer place. The next residence on the west, that of Misses Myra and Helen Tutt, number 1t, was sufficiently distant not to be endangered by the fire. 7 The home of Mr. and Mrs. Catlin and Mrs. Ephron two doors west of the Bryant house, and the home of Mrs. J. B. M. Kehlor faces it on the other side of the parked place. The fire gained such a start before it was discovered that it was impos- sible to save anything from the third floor. Wealthy residents of Vandeventer place and their stable keepers and house- nen joined in helping to carry out ar- ticles from the lower floors. The firemen succeeded in keeping the flames from destroying the contents of the lower floors, though great damage was done by smoke, water and burning brands. Ephron

NEW LEAD IS DISCOVERED Prosecutor Asserts Additional Instances of Crookedness Have Been Found. Special to the Post-Dispatch DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 9.—Sixteen men were arrested and efforts were being made to serve warrants on half a dozen others as a result of what Prosecuting Attorney Shepherd declares is an en- tirely new lead in municipal graft, as distinguished from that which was un- covered a few days ago by Burns de- tectives. Seven of the men taken into custody were Aldermen who formerly were ar- rested on graft charges, as follows: Andrew J. Walsh, Louis Brozo, Louis E. Tossy, Frank J. Mason, Thomas E. Glinnan, Martin J. Ostrowski and David Rosenthal. The new arrests were: William H. C. Hindley, William Koenig (candidate for Mayor), George E. Ellis, Thomas Lynch, Patrick O’Brien, Joseph Merritt, Wil- liam Zoeller, Richard Watson and Stephen D. Skrzycki. Those newly arrested were required to furnish $5000 bonds and those for- merly taken in custody were released upon furnishing security to the amount of $2000. Based on New Evidence. The new evidence is alleged to have been obtained by the prosecutor cover- ing the city administration for years back. The prosecutor stated he has struck many new instances of graft, but he refused to say whether the evidence was obtained, as it has been rumored, from confessions by Aldermen previ- ously arrested. He declared that sev- eral Aldermen would be arrested on more than two charges. The Superintendent of Police early sent out nearly every detective on the force t® arrest the Aldermen. The prisoners were at once locked ‘n cells at police headquarters. “They're coming in so fast I’m afraid we'll have to put three in each cell pretty soon,’’ said the doorman, after several had been brought in and the arrangements for bail were delayed. The beginning of the graft exposures came through the efforts of Andrew H. Green, a rich manufacturer, who put up the $10,000 that was used as marked bills and who, with the co-operation of Mayor Thompson of Detroit, hired the Burns detectives. Immediately after the ex- posure Green appeared as Cadillac in a festival celebrating the two hundred and eleventh anniversary of the founding of the city. Reformer Marked Bills. Green was in frequent conference with W. J. Brennan, the Burns detective, who posed as a representative of the Wabash Railroad in an effort to get street vacation bills through the Coun- cil and he marked the bills which were paid to the aldermen after they had passed the measure. Green started as a poor boy, but by his own efforts climbed to a position of wealth and influence. He was al- ways interested in public affairs, some- times on the side of capital and often in behalf of labor. He signed the bonds of Detroit labor leaders arrested in the McNamara dynamiting cases, advancing the theory that the men whould have an opportunity to have their guilt or inno- cence tested without being compelled to stay in jail.

MEXICAN BANDITS CROSS INTO U.S AND RAID RANCHES American Cavalry and Infantry Are Dispatched to Scene of Depredations.

By Associated Press. EL PASO, Tex., bandits crossed the international bound- ary and came into Texas today, then began raiding near Sierra Blanca, ac- cording to a telegram Sheriff Edwards Aug. §.—Mexican received here this forenoon. United States troops are moving to the point where the rebels are reported to be raiding the American ranches. Col. E. E. Steever has dispatched Troop G of the Third Cavalry from Fort Bliss, the cavalrymen moving along the bor- der. Col. Steever sent a company of in- fantry on the special train which had been ordered by Sheriff P. J. Edwards and his posse. The Sheriff announces that he will be unable to procure enough armed men before this afternoon. Mormon Women and Children Have Reached the U, 8. SANTA MONICA, Cal, Aug. 9.— President Joseph Smith of the Mormon church said today that all Mormon women and children had safely reached the United States from Mexico but that the men of two colonies, Colonia Juarez and Dublan, had armed themselves and would not depart. “All now.are safe,” said Smith, ‘but their homes, crops and other posses- sions are at the mercy of the revolu- tionists. I have made no appeal to Crozco or Salazar, though others of our church did, but nothing came of it. I con't think intervention by the United States would be wise and am sure it would lead to a still greater demorali- zation.” All Rebels Likely fo Be Arrested Unless They Retreat Across River. WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.—The sudden appearance at Bisbee, Ariz., last night of about 200 Mexican rebels has sent a detachment of American troops along the line from the eastward to that point. If the rebels have not retreated across the line when the troops arrive they probably will be arrested. The hews came to the State Department from the American Consul at Nogales today and is regarded as confirmation of the report that the rebel forces are rapidly disintegrating. EXPLAINS POSSESSION OF PRIMARY BALLOTS Political Worker Says He Took , 4 Few Unsigned Ones to Poll Which Was Shy. The Board of Election Commissioners asked Circuit Attorney Jones, Friday, to investigate a police report that Elmer Moone, representative of the Twentieth Ward in the Republicar City Commit- tee, obtained 31 official ballots from a judge in one of the precincts of that ward primary election day. The law forbids judges and clerks of election to pass official ballots out to any political worker. A member of the board said he understood that the offi- Cials at the polling place had protested against giving Moone the ballots, and

MNES WT —DAVIS-FESTER FEUD IS KLLED Dan Foster, Formerly Member of Oklahoma Faction, Found Shot to Death.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. MUSKOGEE, Ok., Aug. 9.—The Davis- Hester feuda in tke southern part of Muskogee County has claimed another victim. _Dan Foster, a Constable, was shot from ambush and killed. His body was found in the road about two miles from the town of Porum. The assassin hid in a weed field by the roadside. His tracks were found where he left his hiding place and went to his horse, concealed near by. No arrest has been made. There were two bullet wounds in Fos- ter’s body. It was decided to hold an inquest today. Foster brought back from Montana several months ago to testify for the State against Pony Starr and Bob Davis, charged with stealing cattle. He had been in the penitentiary four times for counterfeiting, bootlegging and grand larceny. He was formerly a member of the Davis faction and mar- ried a member of that clan. Later he separated from his wife and was credited with belonging to the Hester clan, and it was largely his testimonv that brought out the inner secrets of the feud and many of the crimes charged to it. ATTEMPT TO CHEAT MAN WITHOUT MONEY Court Refuses to Pass on Defense That Intended Victim - Did Not Have $5000 Sought. Judge Falkenhainer, in the Court of Criminal. Correction Friday, decided that it was not his province to pass on the question whether. Louis Dubois could be convicted of attempting to swindle J. Marc Mathey out of $5000, in the face of testimony that Mathey did not have $5000. He ordered Dubois bound over to the grand jury and said the question raised by Dubois’ lawyer, whether a man could be convicted of conspiracy to take money which another did not have, would be left to that body. Dubois, also known as Philip Nava, was One of two men whom Mathey ac- cused of trying to get him to put up $:000 as a ‘‘bond” for the administration of the estate of a mythical Russian millionaire, whose son was supposed to be coming here to get the money made Ly the father in the Klondike.

NINE OTHERS = INDICTED Sabbath Law Broken All Over County, Says Deputy Constable —No Complaint, Says Sheriff. When John W. Bellairs, proprietor of a saloon at Crevé Coeur Lake, went to Clayton Friday to get returns of the election he was arrested on a warrant charging him with having sold liquor on Sunday. He was indicted Thursday by the grand jury and the indictment is one of nine returned in an incom- plete repart. Bellairs is charged with having sold six bottles and six steins of beer. R. W. Hulser, Fred Fench and David Mur- phy are named as witnesses. Officials at Clayton said they did not know who these men are. Bellairs was released in a few min- utes on a $200 bond signed by Charles A. Autenrieth and was ordered to ap- pear for trial Sept. 16 He told a Post-Dispatch reporter that he believed holders of other concessions at the lake had indicted for the same of- fense. “The lid is off at Creve Coeur and all over the county, and everybody knows it,’ said Clarence Campbell, deputy constable of Bonhomme Township, in discussing Bellairs’ arrest. When asked by the reporter why he had not made arrests for violation of the liquor laws, Campbell said: ‘“T am stationed at the lake to keep the peace. The lid question is up t9 the Sheriff. I have received no orders from my _ superior officer, Constahle Buernvann, to make arrests for the sale of liquor on Sundays.”’ . “T am not a policeman and have no authority to go out looking for evidence on Which I can arrest people,’ said Sheriff Grueninger when asked about conditions at the lake. “I haven’t been to Creve Coeur Lake for a year and a half, and have not been asked to arrest anybody there for violation of tte liquor laws. I will make the arrests when ordered to do so, but I can’t give such orders t&myself.”’ For five years, residents of the countv been Lake nearly every Sunday. SENATE WILL PRINT ACCEPTANCE SPEECHES Notification Addresses Also Will Be Sent to Press as Public Documents. WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.—Tho Pro- gressive party made its formal bow to- day in the Senate. Senator Poindexter, as a member of the new party, asked that Col. Roosevelt's speech at Chicago on Aug. 6 be printed as a public docu- ment. The request followed one by Senator Prandege that Senator Root’s speech of rotification and President Taft’s speech cf acgeptance also be printed as a pub- lic dotument. Senator Culberson had asked that Senator James’ notification speech and Gov. Woodrow Wilson's ac- ceptance be printed as another docu- ment. All three requests were granted. Senator Jones of Washington then asked the Senate to print the platform of the three parties as a document. “I don’t want to object,’’ interrupted Senator Gallinger, ‘“‘but has Debs been nominated yet?” Senator Overman did object, however, and the platforms will not be printed. 3 ST. LOUIS CATTLE HERDERS ARRESTED Butcher’s Helpers Charged With Bringing Uninspected Cows Into State. Policemen, at the request of Deputy State Veterinary Surgeon W. C.

Those arrested were Elwood Edwards, 18 years old, of 308 Victor street: Her- man Theising, 26, of 3502 Potomac stPeet, end Fred Behrms, 18, of 812 Sidney street. All are butchers’ helpers, em- ployed in South St. Louis, and they were bringing 15 cows across on the fer- ry from the bottoms on the Illinois side.

Music was the food of love in the case of Arno Waechtler, : bandmaster and violinist, of 3524 Humphrey street, and his violin pupil, Miss Marie Schnee- weiss, of 3543 Sidney street. They are to be married soon, according to an an- nouncement from Miss Schneeweiss’ parents, Mr. and Mrs. William T. Schneeweiss. The wedding, Miss Schneeweiss told the Post-Dispatch, will take place some time in September, and will be followed by a honeymvon trip, possibly to Ber- muda. ' Miss Schneeweiss studied violin un- der Waechtler’s direction several years. She quit taking lessons about two years ago. She nas attained more than local renown for her work on the violin. Waechtler and his bride will reside for a time at the Schneeweiss home on their return from the honeymoon. MRS. LEDGER DIDN’T TAKE HER OWN LIFE Incorrect Report Published After Clerk Misreads Physician’s Statement. The almost illegible writing of a phy- sician caused the death of Mrs. Mary Ledger of 4230 Cleveland avenue, to be incorrectly attributed to suicide, in re- ports printed in the newspapers Thurs- day afternoon and Friday morning. Mrs. Ledger, who was the wife of Capt. Thomas Ledger, a river man, died Mon- day at the Mullanphy Hospital of ecarci- noma with peritonitis as a contribu- tory cause. The handwriting of the physician who made out the death certificate can hard- ly be read by one who is not accus- tomed to it, attaches of the mortuary office say. Thus it happened that a clerk, making up a list of burial per- mits at the mortuary office for the press, erroneously attributed Mrs. Led- ger’s death to suicide. Her six chil- dren and other relatives were greatly grieved, Capt. Ledger said, by the pub- lished report that she had taken her life. STUBBS’ FRIENDS CLAIM NOMINATION FOR HIM William H.

Both Billard and Hodges claim the Democratic gubernatorial nomina- tion, with complete returns to be re- ceived from nearly forty counties, Billerd’s lead is being slowly reduced and Hodges claims the nomination by 8000.
