JO. -With ev ery voter in Jefferson township, Adams county, disfranchised for five years be cause of vote selling, residents of the township are wondering how the offices re to be filled during the next few years. The situation is said to be un paralleled In . the history of the coun try. If the indictment mill keeps on grrindlnsr at the present rate, however, the distinction will not be held alone by Jefferson township, as other' town ships in the county, it is predicted, will be in the same predicament . , The problem of government will be put up to Judge Blair, who is sentencing Adams county cltizens.in wholesale lots. The Judge will Be asked to consider th Jefferson township case and endeavor to provide some form of legal govern ment that will be able to control af fairs until the period of disfranchise ment expires or until enough new vot ers move in to fill the offices and hold legal elections.

Plans for the consummation of a Barley tobacco pool were advanced another step today, when tje growers of Missouri, Indiana, Ohio' and West Virginia' held conven tions in their respective states to elect delegates to the general' conference to be held here next week. At this con ference officers -are to be elected and a definite organization effected.

MAYOR IGNORES ' ; ADVICE; RESULT IS $254,000 DEFICIT ; (Continued from Page One.) bring it down to this figure it was nec essary tq use 1 100,000 of the general fund.:: ' - -"-' ' Believed KIstake Made. It is' now believed the mayor and the city council, made a mistake In count ing on the use of any of the general fund for purposes . for which It bad power to levy a direct tax. It la possible that the estimates of the city engineer's office and the street cleaning department could be cut down without Involving the necessity of dis missing any of the city employes had this $100,000 not been diverted to help cut "down the tax levy in order to make a showing for. the present administra tion.' .But even then the department would have been obliged to abandon a great many Improvements considered absolutely necessary by the department heads. - ', - .-'.';; '; Superintendent Alex Donaldson of the street cleaning . department has asked for $329,000 to run his department next year. But In order to meet the deficit In the general fund the estimates of Mr. Donaldson will have to be cut about $95,000. ' t . .;. ; v . ."I have asked for only "what, money I need - to take care of hard surface pavements," . declared Mr, Donaldson yesterday, "and if I don't get the m&ney I can't clean the streets as often as they should be cleaned." , , ' Cost of Improvements, Present . conditions, with relation to the disparity between the estimate! re celpts and expenditures of the general fund, were brought about by the vast growth, or street Improvements. In 1903 the cost of .street lmprovenkents was only I457.JS7.70, Thyear street Improvements costing1 $3,000,000, ; in round numbers, have been made. s The expenses of the v street cleaning department in 1903 were but $43,919.43 These have Increased with the increase in the number of pavements until this year tne cost of maintaining the depart ment will be $348,750.48. ; Thus It will De seen that the expenses of the city engineers department and those of the street cleaning department advanced at about the same enormous ratio, or 600 per cent in seven years. - ' ' V In 1903 the general fund wa amply able to take care of all the expenses of these two departments, the city aud itor's department the health office, the crematory and the- general - expense or the city, not raised by, tax levy, and had large sums of money left to lend to 'other funds., ,'.:: '','" :' , To Propose Amendment. And up till last year, although : the general fund did not increase very rap idly, it was still large enough to take care of the expenses charged to It. Even this year there would have been plenty of money in the fundlf all, the transfers ' that have been made In .the past to other funds had been paid back. What Table Snows.
