EXPERT INSPECTION OF BALLOTS
Judg-e Prair Favor the Fullest Opportunity-
of In- eotlsrntliisr "Where
Fraud. la Apparent.
Judge Frazer yesterday granted the re
quest of William Schmeer, through his
attorneys. H. E. McGinn and J. B. Easter,
for further examination of ballots cast
at the June election In Precinct 42. Thurs
day, August 9, was the date agreed upon
for the examination to take place. At
that time an expert, armed witn a micro
scope, will critically examine all of the
Holbrook votes that passed unchallenged
In the previous count. Mr. McGinn said
ho asked the privilege because of the
developments In the other count, and the
unsuspecting manner In which many bal
lots which seemed .properly marked had
been passed. Judge Frazer, In granting
the request, again used ctrong language
regarding the work that had been done
In Precinct 42, and said that another in
spection of the ballots was permitted only
because of the palpable evidence of fraud.
In arguing his motion, Mr. McGinn said
that the frauds In Precinct 42 might be
classed under three heads:
Calling the name of Holbrook where no
crobs was in front of his name, and there
by Increasing his vote.
Placing crosses in front of the name of
either Field or Holbrook when the voter
Intended to and did vote for Schmeer,
thus vitiating the entire AOte for Coun
cilman; And cases where the voter left the space
of Councilman blank, but crosses were
afterwards Inserted for Holbrook.
Cases falling under the latter head were
the ones Mr. McGinn hoped to reach by
the examination asked. Where Holbrook's
name had been called without any cross
ha.ng been placed in front of It by the
voter wa rebvealed In the recent recount
by the discrepancy between the official
returns and the court llgures. The ofh
clal count gave Holbrook 214 and Schmeer
105 In the Fort -second Precinct. By the
court count of ballots that were not
challeneged as having any marks of an
unusual character on them, Schmeer's
vote was raised to 113 and Holbrook's re
duced to 198. Consideration of the ques
tioned ballots raised Holbrook's vote in
this preclrct to 204, and Schmeer's to 123.
The variations are the grounds for
charging that In the count by the elec
tion judge the name of Holbrook was
called in cases where his name had not
been crowed at all on the ballot.
Those instances There crosses had been
made in froai f more than one of the
candidates for Councilman were passed
on by Judge Frazer before, and where
the cross In front of Schmeer's name cor
responded closely with those used In
marking other candidates., while those In
front of Holbrook s or Field's name
varied, the court almost Invariably ruled
in favor of Schmeer. This was because
from the systematic manner in which
thci-e things happened. Judge Frazer con
cluded there was fraud against Schmeer.
Of the third class, but little if any in
spection was made before. As the attor
xipy and officials did not appreciate the
apparent frauds developed during the
-ount. tf a cross appeared before the
name of oaly one candidate for Coun
cilman, the ballet was passdc, if regular
otherwise. It is to reach these that the
present recount, or rather examination,
is being made.
J. V. Beach, of counsel for Holbrook,
argued against the motion on the ground
that one recount had been given, and he
did not see much difference between the
present and other casta. He thought the
ballots of Precinct 42 were carefully ex
am ned by half a dozen persons previ
ously that the seal had been broken and
the ballots had been handled much, all
cf which should argue against any more
recounting. Even If ballots were found
on which the cross for his client was not
exactly regular, that should not be evi
dence at fraud, as the voter might make
an irregular cross.
In granting the request. Judge Frazer
caid; "This is a very unusual case. It

and Tinware this week
is the first one to my knowledge where
in a recount had here, there has been
such strong evidence of fraud, or where
it has been so plain that the ballots have
been tampered with after they left the
hands of the voter. I think any candid
man. on an examination of the bal'ots
as they appeared here the other day, will
come to the conclusion that there has
been fraud In this precinct, although that
is not an issue here. These ballots, not
withstanding the evidence which counsel
for the defendant says he can produce,
have clearly been tampered with. I have
no doubt In my own mind that some of
the ballots cast for Schmeer were after
wards marked for one or the other of
the other candidates for Councilman, be-

cause In every instance the cross In front
of Schmeer's name was Identical with
the cross in front of the names of other
candidates on the ballot, while the cros3
In front ofthe other candidate for Coun
cilman was'lrregular. Under these circum
stances, and the further fact that thl3
precinct shows fraud, while there might
have been a mistake In calling the ballots
to the number of one, two, three or
even four In this precinct, the fact that
there were so many more mistakes than
in any other precinct of the ward, and
that all the mistakes In this particular
precinct were in favor of one candidate,
without any reason under these circum
stances I think the fullest opportunity
should be given for investigation, and,
as these ballots that were not challenged
were hurriedly read and no one at the
tlmo could have had more than oppor
tunity simply to glance at the marking
In front of the names df candidates for
Councilman, I think an opportunity
should be given now, if counsel desires, to
make a further and full examination of
these ballots. As has been said before,
this Is a mttter which Interests the pub
lic, which involves the public welfare. If i
Schmeer was elected, he should have the
office, and if Holbrook was elected, he I
should be permitted to keep the office, j
Whoever has been guilty of fraud should
be made to suffer for it. In any event, .
the fullest opportunity will be given here
to investigate the matter." J

WEST VIRGINIA FOR M'KINLEY
Ex-Senator Fnnllcner's Opinion of
His State's Ontloolc.
Ex-United States Senator Faulkner, of
West Virginia, who Is out oh the Coast
for a vacation, though he is a Democrat,
thinks his state will go for McKlnley
this year. 'There are several reasons
for- this," he- said at the Portland last
evening. "In the first place, 'West Vir
ginia is a doubtful state. She was Union
In war times, and cut loose from Vir
ginia. Recently she has been growing
marvelously. Her timber, coal and oil
resources have been developing, and her
people are gettinc rich. The new en
terprises being developed have caused a
heavy addition tocher negro population,
and the negroes, with the exception oit
the barbers, are all Republicans Why
the barbers are not I cannQt say, but
presume It's because of their close prox
imity to their Democratic customers while
engaged in their vocation " '

mlt himself, but he thought the Chinese
question would strengthen the party In
power. "The people are worked up over
the outrage in China," he said, "and un
less the trouble Is settled, McKlnley's
policy of armed rescue and retaliation
will have a strong indorsement through
out the country. I do not think the
Philippine War has strengthened the Re

has."

FIRST TELEGRAPH LINE.
Portland Wn Connected "Wltn tne
East via Snn Francisco in 1804.
An Albany pioneer asks when the tele
graph lines from Portland were flrat es
tablished, and also when the overland
telegraph between San Francisco and the
East was put In operation. According
to Dr. O. P. S. Plummer, who wa3 the
first superintendent o a through line, a
local line was built from Portland up the
Willamette Valley as early as 1S5S, but
soon abandoned. The overland line con
necting San Francisco with the East was
completed in 1S62, In response to the In
tense demand for late news from the
Civil "War. A pony express had previously
been In operation, but as the news took
eight to twelve days In transmission, Pa
cific Coast people became very resUve
under such slow service.
The line between Portland and San
Francisco was connected In February,
1SG4, and Portland people were then placed
in direct communication with the East,
while the great struggle was going on
in Its Intensity and the fate of the Na
Uon seemed to hang In the balance. Col
onel It. R. Harris, now in charge of the
Postal Telegraph Company's Interests, at
Los Angeles, was manager of the line at
San Francisco, and put Dr. Plummer in
charge of the Oregon end.
