CHICAGO. Aug. 9. Never, since po
litical returns were carried by messen
gers on foot, by ox teams and canal
boats, have definite figures been so great
ly delayed in any Illinois election as In
the one Just closed. .
Twenty-four hours after the polls
closed it was impossible to give accurate
returns of the vote for Senatorial In
dorsement or the Gubernatorial nomina
tion on the Republican ticket.
Senatorial Choice In Doubt.
The vote for the Republican Senator
ial Indorsement In Chicago and Cook
County was: Hopkins. 40.358; Mason,
89.917; Foss. 50.252. giving Foss a plural
Sty over Hopkins of 9S94.
In the state, outside Cook County, the
contest seemed to be fairly even between
Hopkins and Foss, with Mason falling
far to the rear. The general returns
were perhaps a shade In favor of Hop
kins, but whether or not his vote In the
outside counties will enable him to over
come the strong lead gained by Foss in
Cook County Is not yet known and it
will probably be another 24 hours be
fore a positive statement can be made
on the results. '
Stringer Easy Winner.
The Democratic Senatorial indorsement
may be dismissed with the single state
ment that Stringer won easily In every
county in the state so far as heard from
tonight.
For the Republican Gubernatorial, nomi
nation Deneen received' in Chicago and
Cook County 79.700; Tates 72.109. giv
ing Deneen a plurality in Chicago and
Cook County of 7591.
Yates May Yet Win.
Deneen's party managers claimed the
state by at least 10,000 and frwely pre
dicted that his vote over Yates would
show even a larger majority. The returns,
however, were so slow and scattered that
it la tonight entirely possible for Tates
to win out. , His campaign managers
claim that he has done so by 1000.
Adlal E. Stevenson, ex-Vlce-Presklent
of the United States, ran far ahead of
his opponent for the Democratic Gub
ernatorial nomination, although James
Hamilton Lewis, of Chicago, made a
phenomenal run in Chicago and Cook
County, securing nearly as many votes
as , all other candidates together.

SPERRY'S WELCOME WARM
Prime Minister Ward Officially
Welcomes American Admiral.
AUCKLAND, N- Z.. Aug. ' 10. (Mon
day). Cloudy weather greeted the land'
ing today of Admiral Sperry, command
er-in-chief of the United States Atlantic
fleet, and his officers to receive official
welcome to Australian waters at tne
hands of the prime minister. Sir Joseph
George Ward, on behalf of the govern
ment.
The landing was made at the newly
erected quay at the foot of Queen street.
the city's principal thoroughfare, at the
shore end of which an elaborately dec
orated stand had been erected for the
reception. Grouped - about the prime
minister were the members of the cabi
net and representatives of various town,
borough and county districts of the Do
minion. Immense crowds thronged the streets
and the verandas and roofs of houses
adjacent were moving masses of hu
manity.
It was a great reception, and un
bounded enthusiasm prevailed. In his
address. Or Joseph eulogized President
Roosevelt as representing the best tra
ditions of the common blood of civiliza
tion. He then presented to Admiral
Speery for President Roosevelt a dec
Orated gold and silver album, suitably
inscribed, aa a souvenir of the visit of
the fleet to New Zealand.
The American 1 Commander-in-Chief,
replying to the Prime Minister, said that
no greeting would appeal more strongly
to President Roosevelt than that coming
from a people small in numbers, but
great in achievements. He described
Auckland harbor as magnlcent and safe,
excelling any harbor in the Pacific, ex
cept that of Sydney and perhaps Manila.
Every facility the naval commander
desire was to be had there.
In his address of welcome on behalf
of the citizens of New eZaland, Lord
Plunkett, the Governor, said that King
Edward and President Roosevelt were
honored, not because of their positions.
but for . the noble work they had done
and were doing for their countries and
for humanity.

Father Vahey and C. W. Pohlmann
Fatally. Crashed and Die With
out Uttering Sound High
Back a Protection;
TOLEDO, O., Aug. 9. (Speciar.) When
an automobile plunged over a steep em
bankment on the Mitchell road, two and
a half miles west of Sylvania this after
noon. Charles W. Pohlmann, a wealthy
Cleveland merchant tailor, and Father
George Vahey, pastor of Columbkills
parish, Cleveland, were instantly killed.
Mrs. Charles TV. Pohlmann hnd her
daughter, Florence, and F. C. Diets, a
Cleveland dentist, were in the touring
car, but escaped injury.
The heavy .touring machine capsized in
the air and struck the ground bottom
upward, the entire party being pinned un
derneath the wreckage.
Head of Priest Crushed.
As the automobile struck the bottom of
the embankment the head of the priest
was crushed between the edge of the car
and a large stone and he died instantly
without uttering a cry. Pohlmann was
caught between his steering wheel and the
ground In such a way that his chest was
crushed and his neck broken, killing him
almost instantly.
To the fact, that the back of the ton-
neau was unusually high and also that
the car fell perfectly flat when It turned
turtle is attributed the saving of the lives
of the two. women and Dr. Dietz, who
were seated in the rear. .
Women Are In Hospital.
The machine belonged to Pohlmann. who
was thoroughly conversant with a motor
car and had his friends out for a pleasure
tour. Without warning, the car suddenly
eft the thoroughfare, only to carry two of
the occupants to a sudden death.
Mrs. Pohlmann and her daughter were
taken to a hospital in. this city. Although
they escaped without serious injury, the
shock to their nervous systems by the
accident and the death of a hUBband and
father was such that their future health
may be broken under the strain.
The party left Cleveland Saturday after
noon and spent the night in Frerrront.
They arrived in Toledo at 10 o'clock to
day and stopped at the home of J. J.
Malone. .
Shrubbery Concealed Bank.
The scene ' of the accident was at the
Eley bridge, across Ten-Mile Creek.
About 20 feet west of the bridge is a deep
hole In the middle of the road, stretching
nearly across it. The hole was full of
water and Just after crossing the bridge
Mr. Pohlmann guided his machine to the
left side to avoid the hole. The sides of
the embankment at that point are thickly
lined with shrubbery and small trees and
the party did not realize that they con
cealed a steep bank.
The front wheel of the machine went
over the edge of the embankment Just as
the rear wheels struck the edge of the
hole in the road.VThe Jumping of the
rear wheels in the hole tossed the ma
chine over the embankment.

UNITED STATES TOO SLOW
Walter Wellman Declares Baldwin
Balloon Is Much Too Small
to Count in Case of -Actual
Warfare.
Walter Wellman ha. made a study of air
ships and aerial navigation, and is as well
qualified to .peak on the subject as any
American twrlter.
NEW YORK, Aug. 4. Count Zeppe
lin's record-breaking voyage with his
great airship surprises no one familiar
with the present state of the art of
aerial navigation. That a modern motpr
balloon can be depended upon to make
voyages of from 1000 to 2000 miles, un
der fairly favorable conditions, has long
been known to men who are familiar
with aeronautics. Count Zeppelin's suc
cess is epoch-making in that it con
vinces a skeptical woUd of the practi
cability of airships and of their utility
as engines of war and as instruments
of exploration of the upper air, as well
as of parts of the earth otherwise in
accessible, like the great unknown area
surrounding the North Pole. Monday's
demonstration without doubt will assure
the rapid building of aerial navies by
the chief military powers. In fact, Ger
many, France, Great Britain and the
United States are already moving In that
direction. France has the Lebaudy and
La Republlque already in commission,
and Zeppelin's ship, it is understood, is
to be taken over tor the German army.
The modern airship or motor balloon
will prove to be an effective engine of
war. She can make reconnotesances of
an enemy's position, flying at an alti
tude giving her immunity from the en
emy's guns. She can not only gain val
uable information, but she can make at
tacks upon strategic points, such as
cities and bridges and forts and the
camps of hostile armies, by dropping
expt&sives down upon them. This phase
of the aerial warfare of the future has
been declared impracticable by some
critics, because the dropping of a thouAJ
sand pounds of explosives from a shiM
of the air would Instantly cause her to
shoot up to a great altitude. " The
critics who think this a fatal objection
are not familiar with the art of airship
construction and operation. Dropping
1000 pounds of ballast or weight of any
sort from a small balloon, dirigible, like
the one Captain Baldwin has built for
the United States Government, would,
of course, be either impracticable, be
cause the ship could not carry so much,
or dangerous If she could carry it.. But
that weight suddenly released is a mere
bagatelle compared to -the total lifting
capacity of such a ship as the Zeppelin.
or my Polar airship, the America. The
Zeppelin has a total lifting power of
between 25,000 and 30.000 pounds, while
the America lifts 19,500 pounds. The al
titude gained by such ainshlp through
dropping 1000 pounds in a lump presents
no practical difficulties whatever.
In the airship of the future, whether
used for scientific or military purposes,
size is sure to be a factor of prime Im
portance. Interesting experiments may
be made with small ships. But real
and Important work requires large
ships, built by engineers, on a scale
great enough to admit of the employ
ment of steel and other metals, instead
of flimsy structures of bamboo or such
materials. If both high speed and long
cruises are desired, there must be
powerful engines and great stores of
gasoline or other fuel for the motors.
The Zeppelin is the largest ship ever
built. Her volume is about 40D.D00 cu
bic feet. The next largest ship is the
America, 240,000 cubic feet. The French
ships have about 115,000 cubic feet. In the
opinion of most experts the Zeppelin
is too large. Count Zeppelin is the only
important aeronautic engineer in the
world who adheres to the idea of a
rigid frame within the envelope which
hoTds the gas and the subdivision of
the balloon into many compartments.
In all other types of construction
rigidity of form and shape is secured
by the simple means of interior pres
sure. The weight of the rigid frame
in the Zeppelin ship is so great that
notwithstanding the enormous total lift
ing power, due to the size, the net avail
able lifting power, which can be used
for carrying crew, fuel, provisions or
explosives, is relatively small. Giving
tho figures from memory, I believe the
net capacity of the Zeppelin is about
two tons, while that of the polar air
ship America Is 10,000 pounds, or five
tons. If the Zeppelin is compelled to
land In a high wind, she will probably
be torn to pieces. Ships of the other
type can be landed and deflated, if
necessary, with small damage, as the
America was in Spitsbergen last Sep
tember. Count Zeppelin has broken all records
for length of run. But there is no rea-

Alabama Man Plays Fast and Loose
Disastrously to Himself.
ATHENS. Ala., Aug. 9. (Special.)
Bryant McKlnney. a resident of this
county near the Tennessee line, has been
arrested on a charge of bigamy made
by wife No. 1 and her eldest son.
Thirty years ago McKlnney was united
ip marriage to the widow of his uncle,
his mother's brother having died and
left a yoiyig widow with three children
two daughters and a son. He was c
country merchant, and the widow, not
being - familiar with business affairs, en
gaged her - husband's nephew to come
and. take charge, of the store until the
stock could be 'disposed of. She was a
good-looking, intelligent ' young matron
and, had many, attractions.
. It was not long after the nephew went
into' the home until the widow and the
boy .were madly In . love. The laws of
Alabama prevented their marriage, but
they ' crossed the . line into Tennessee,
where they, obtained the necessary pa
pers and - were wedded. They returned
to Alabama, happy . and contented in
each other's love and affection. FIvu
children were born to them. The oldest,
a son, now has a family himself, anil
prosperity has always walked in, their
pathway.
Recently the husband and wire nan a
disagreement and she left to make her
home with her oldest son. She asked
for a division of the household articles,
which she claimed were the results of
her thrift and Industry. He refused to,
divide. She then asked for an allowance
of StiO a year for her support. This was
also refused.' i
Then she brought suit for a division,
of the property, and pending this suit
McKlnney went to Tennessee again, and .
there married a young woman, witljout
fir'st having obtained a divorce.
When he brought the bride to the home
vacated. by the wife of 30 years and the
latter saw her years- of hard toil and
industry being enjoyed by another, I
was more than she could stand, and she
and her oldest son came to Athens and
obtained a warrant for the arrest of hei
husband on a charge of bigamy. The
warrant was served by the Sheriff, ano
McKinney brought to Athens, but on
reaching here he waived a preliminary
I
examination and was bound over to the r
next term of the Criminal Court. f
The mother and son. as state's wit- ,
nesses, were aiso placed under Dona ror j

Determined Attempt Against Life of
San Diego Woman.
SAN DIEGO, Cal., Aug. 9.-For the third
time within 60 days Mrs. Merle Wetmore,
wife of a street car man, was last evening
the victim of an assault, presumably by
the same man ,at her residence on Thir

When she regained her senses she found
the house was on fire. She snatched tho
baby from the bed, which was burning.
and made her way to the street. The

miles from Davenport, Iowa, her
grandfather died leaving property to
her father, but cutting off his brother.
Subsequently her father's barn was
