Sworn Charges of Fraud
Citizens Called Upon
vict- the Guilty Hearst
Promisee to See that the
Guilty Are Punished,
Eight more ballot boxes, aband
ooedsin poilicg places by variotiB
election boards in defiance of the
law, were found today in the search
that is laying bare in constantly in
creasing volume the amazing frauds
of Tammany. Two of the boxes
were found in a barber shop at 6o2
East Third street'.
Sworn charges that 31 protested
ballots in a single election precinct
in the lower east side were count
ed illegitimately for Mayor
McDellan on Tuesday were made
today by Walter Alexander, Wa-
trias & Polk of 3o Nassau street,
who was one of the Jerome watch
ers. Mr. Alexander declares that
if this is a fair sample of what was
done in other election districts, Mr.
Hearst was elected by an over
whelming plurality.
In a letter to Mr. Jerjome, Mr.
Alexander asks that steps be taken to
eee that all cases where the facts
warrant prosecution are brought
before judges who will not ba dis
posed to let the offenders go. This
much he claims is due to the men
who watched at the polls. Mr. Al
exander's report was carefully pre
pared and sworn to.
Four ballot boxes, one of which
was marked ''Defective ballots,"
which supposedly contained such
ballotf, while the others contained
ballots or stubs, just which, does
not appear, were discovored ihis af
ternoon in some of the polling pi a
ces in the Thirty-fourth assembly
district in the Bronx by Christo
pher Wigow, a driver for MacCau
ley 's express on Elton avenue.
Wigow was employed to collect
the voting paraphernalia in the va
rious election districts. He found
many ballot boxes all of which he
thought were'unused, but when he
unloaded them at the police station
it was found that four of them were
filled with papers of some kind.
They were uns altfd, but the po
lice did not feel authorized to open
and examine them and turned them
over to the Bronx office of the eleo
tions board at 138th eighth street
and Paik avenue, in the condition
in which they were found. One of
the boxes was plainly marked de
fective ballots and is believed to
have contained what the label indi
cated. 1 he election law requires
that defective ballots be placed in
an envelope after the count and
turned over to the elections board.
This evidently was not done in this
case.
The police of the Alexander av
enue station refused today to say
from what election district came the
apparently forgotten boxes.
the oath as mayor, announce hie
appointments and demand posses
sion of the mayor's office in the
City Hall. Inasmuch as Mayor
McClellan has decided to fight his
adversary at every point, this city
may have a dual government on
New Year's day.
The decision of the Hearst men to
install their candidate as mayor
January 1" was reached yesterday,
it is said, but nothing officially will
be faid about their intention for
some days yet. Mr. Hearst'scoun
ael ha3 told him one sure method
of having his title to the mayoralty
either confirmed or denied is lor
him to take the oath of office as
major and thrust the coctest into
the courts. The lfgal procedure
necessary for the validation of Mr.
Hearst's claim to the mayoralty
muet be made within the next 15
davs.

Los Angeles, Nov. 11. Through
great underground fissures rent by
earthquake ehockp, the waters of
the Gulf of California are pouring
into the old Salton basin and re
eistlessiy forcing the new Saltan Sea
to tea level. Doubts no lorgr exist
as to the origin of this vast inland
sea, which now skirts the main line
of the Southern Pacific for . nearly
loo miles and stretches away on
either side of the track 25 miles to
the foothills.
Attempts to stem the tide have
ceased after ten months of persist
ent effort by the railroad and the
expenditure of upward of $loo,ooo.
Southern Pacific engineers now ad
mit, for the first time that this
strange tide cannot be stemmed by
the hand of man. With 00 miles
of their main line already under
water, and with spur tracks melt
ing away before the waves almoBt
before the steel is spiked to the ties,
they haveretreated to the mountains
and are surveying for a new route
which shall be well beyond the
reach of the destructive elements.
One hundred miles of new track
must be laid. It will parallel , the
old submerged track on the north
and it will run from ten to 15 miles
back from the fourth "shoofly" now
being hastily thrown together. To
day every building at Salton, with
the exception of the depot is sur
rounded by water and most of them
are partially submerged. The tide
is within Bix feet of the depot and
new accommodations for the rail
road are being constructed on, an
elevation 50 yards back from the
present Bite.
Fifty miles of temporary .track
are now in commission and only
for short stretches la the original
line safe for service, the ties being
bolstered by sacks of Bock and
constantly watched by track walk
era.
