the Registration Office.
Although he voted for Abraham
Lincoln in 1860, and has voted in every
presidential election since then, John
Burke, 77 years old, almost missed
getting his name on the registration
books this year because he did not
have in his possession the naturaliza
tion papers taken out by his father
more than 60 years ago.
Three days ago he was denied the
right to register, but he happens to
be a neighbor of Sheriff Hurlburt, who
brought Aim to the courthouse yester
day and told the registration clerk he
would vouch for the old man being
entitled to vote. So his name was
listed with the other voters of the

Ireland, in 1839, and has lived here
ever since. His home is at 1161 Fran

Court Announces.
Chicago, Oct. 7 (U. P.) Legal
precedents were upset today when j
Judge Marcus Kavanaugh of the
superior court, offered Levin Shapiro,
65, the alternative of submitting to
iin operation for sterilization and be
ing released or of going to the pen
itentiary on an Indeterminate sen
tence which to a man of Shapiro's
years would probably mean death.
Shapiro was given until Saturday to
make his choice and was assured tile
operation would be performed by the

County hospital if he chose that alter
native. Shapiro was convicted of attacking
a small girl. He returned to the
county jail without expressing a

The c ity commissioners expert to be
gin the work of trimming the 1917 mu
nicipal budRet estimate! this week an4
complete the tak within two weeks.
They have until November 20, however,
in which to finish their work and-iflp-prove
the estimates. The city tax levy
will be based on these approved esti
mates. last year a committee representing
business and civic organizations as
sisted in trimming the budget but the
council has not yet decided whether to
appoint a committee this year or do
the work alone.
Stormy Session Predicted.
I! Is predicted that the hudget m'i
sions will be Homewhut stormy in
much as Rome of the uminlsslonei -t
have Included items In their estlmnt' -s
which they consider necessary and ai
to make a fight for.
One of the ltenia in the estimates
over which a fight will probably t
waged Is $60,000 for the establishment
of a park arid playground in Manjuain'j
gulch in South Portland. Some opposi
tion has already developed to Includ
ing this amount In this year's lev...
South Portland residents and several
organizations are advocating the appro
priation. An item of $23,000 for a immiripMl
paving repair plant probably will brti5
about considerable discussion. Several
efforts have heein made In the ..past tn
establish such a plant but they Iihvo
proved futile.
Streets Heed Bepalxs.
Commissioner Dleck ays that many
miles of streets will be In need of re
pair this year and that It will be econ
omy for the city to Jinike repairs itself
rather than contract for the work.
Mayor Albee has Included several
thousands of dollars for the repair nnd
rebuilding of fire stations and the pur
chase of motor equipment to dlsphu o
horse-drawn apparatus. Two of thn
Items are for rebuilding the headquar
ters station at Fourth end Yamhill
and the station at Sixteenth and Whsii
lngton etreets.
The mayor has also Included an Item
of $27,000 for the establishment of the
first unit of the proposed municipal
detention home for women near Trotrt
dale but It is probable that the ma
jority of the commissioners will givo
this little consideration.
Agriculturists have succeeded In
raising a brown cotton in Kgytit that
