' WINS CONTEST BROUGHT BY BINGHAM Verdict nendered Oy Jade Day Alone nd Etnarbam's Counsel Protest that Sears tat Joiatly i '' - mn the - Caa. . Judgo Day yesterday rendered his de cision in the Blngham-Broadwoll election f contest, which has dragged through ser ' eral months, the Import of Uch Is to the eSt-Tt that F. A. Broadwell, clerk of the dlutrlct court, was duly elected and is u tltled to the office This result is far from the opinion of Judge Bears, who sat' on the case with Judge Pay, but it now appears only to "assist" him. Both Judges concurred in the decision that the vote of the Florence precinct and the Second ' preolnct - of the Fourth ward in South Omaha, exceptli.g three ballots which were given to Bingham, should stand. As for the First precinct of the Fifth ward in South Omaha, upon which ( tle outcome of the contest hinged, Judge bay declared the ballots Bhould stand, while Judge Sears was In favor of throw ing out the entire precinct. If this was done. Broadwell was elected by a major ity of only twenty-three votes, would be defeated, as his majority in that precinct olone was il. It was not until Judge Day bad rendered His decision, a lengthy one. that it became Apparent to the attorneys for Bingham .hat It was not the decision of both judges.

"Here we have been contesting this case since May," he declared, "and never for one Instant until now have we had any idea that the cas was being heard by but oue Judge; that your honors were not sitting Jointly never occurred to us. I cannot un derstand why we have been led to believe all along that it was a Joint sitting and have been advised of the facts only at the twelfth hour., It is most unjust to .us and I protest. I ask your honors that a. third Judge be called in to sit upon the Fifth ward contention and that the sitting be a Joint one." Attorney Howell, Burbank and Jefferls, for the contestants, were flushed with anger. "We have been led to believe that the Judges were sitting Jointly and have con tested our pase upon that supposition," de clared Attorney Jefferls. The court agreed to hear the attorneys further on the contention of calling In a third judge this afternoon and the hearing began at I o'clock. The counsel for Bing ham announce that If denied the privilege to bo heard but upon the otie precinct In the Fifth ward of South Omaha, an appeal will be made to the supreme court. The court decided that the members In question of -the election board In the Flor ence precinct while not duly appointed Judges were de facto judges inasmuch as they acted In that capacity and the voters and other members of the board regarded them as such. Gelltr of Malcondnrt. In the Second precinct of the Fourth ward of South Omaha the court decided some of the members of the board were guilty of malronduct Inasmuch as they were in toxicated during the casting of the ballots and so much so afterward that they were Incapacitated from counting the vote and outsiders did the work. "There has been no evjdence to show that the ballots returned and counted by the outsiders were not the' ones' cast by the voters," said Judge Day, "and I take It that It 1 therefore immaterial whether they were counted by the judges or not, so long as the count was correct. The court orders a recount, however, to deter mine the latter point." The question upon which the content hinged in the First precinct of the Fifth ward of South Omaha was whether T. T. O'Connor, a duly appointed clerk who signed his name on the back of the. bal lots with that of an authorised Judge, was hlmsflf a de facto Judge. Judge Day so held him while Judge Bears declared that he thought O'Connor was a clerk and could not tiake him out a Judge simply because he sljned his nam on the ballots whert the name of a Judge should have apeared. What the Law Bays. The law requires that the names of two Judvrs I shall appear on the back of the ballots. The provision of the statute In that regard Is mandatory; the court de clared. The decision therefore rested upon the contention as to whether O'Connor was a de facto Judge or a clerk as he him self testified. Judge Day said that the courts of the country take two views of the election laws, some construing It liberally, while others adhered to the provisions strictly, lis said he was in favor of construing the 212 r i - , 11 &&Cravcnette and Tourist Coats at $5.98!; $9.98 Choice Goods from the Kelley-Stiger Stock The ideal 'fioliasSJ l alrable X Fresh, Jaunty Shirt Waist New polka dot wash fabrics at Wash" Shirt Waist Suits In summer ideas, pleated, y waists and skirts, at Leather Suit Case Genuine cowhide case, 24-iu side catches and brass lock handle a handsome, dura ble leather suit case, at.. law liberally in order tltat the choice of the majority of the people might be de termined. In the Florence precinct, which was contested by the defendant, Bingham had a majority of forty votes, in tha Second pre cinct of the Fourth ward of South Omaha Broadwell had a majority of 133 votes and a majority of thirty-two votes in the First of the Fifth in South Omaha. On tha face of the returns he was elected by a ma jority of but twenty-six votes, three of which the court ordered subtracted from his total. Find I dbs of the Court. The court made several findings of fact on questions presented by the attorneys for the contestant. Both Judges concurred In these. In the First precinct of the Fifth ward of South Omaha the court found that T. T. O'Connor was recommended to the clork of the district court by the demo cratic county committee for the office of clerk of election and was appointed by the clerk ns provided by law, and took his oath prior to election day, November 8, 1903. That he appeared at the polling place 'with credentials of a clerk and again took his oath as such. That he kept the poll book of the election and kept the tally sliei-t !n on of the poll book during the count, duties of : a clerk. That O'Connor accompanied the returns to the county clerk's office with Joseph Mandevllle and that the county clerk received the returns from Joseph aianaevine, juags or election, ana T. T, O'Connor, clerk of election. That O'Connor was not a clerk of election but a de facto judge and performed some of the duties of clerk. Judge Day found, but Judge Sears did not concur In this finding. That the election -board returned Its pay roll to the county clerk with T. T. O'Connor designated as clerk. That William Kaln, a judge, and T. T. O'Connor wrote their signatures on all ballots cast In the pre cinct and that theirs were the only signa tures on the backs of the ballots. In the Second precinct of the Fourth ward of South Omaha the court found that some of the members of the election board were under the influence of intoxicants to an ex tent during the election hours, but wefe not incapacitated from performing their du ties then, but were so intoxicated after the polls closed as to be unkble to perform their functions during the canvass of the vote; that there was whisky in a room opening oft of the polling room. That Mur phy, a democratic Judge, and Cuff, a demo cratic clerk, together and separately upon different occasions assisted voters In mark ing their ballots without the said voters having had administered to them the oath of disability as required by law. That per sons went behind the guard rails and to the election booths with voters and con versed with them and that the election offi cers mad no attempt to prevent It, but that a policeman did upon two occasions. That strangers participated In the canvass of the ballots and that some of the judges and clerks of election were guilty of mulconduct in 'office. -Hiberalaaa Are at Work. BT.

There is little use talk ing about the navigability of the Yalu. As a practical proposition there Is not much In It that would attract the attention of an investor or a merchant. Flat-bottomed Junks of small draft -can get up as far as WlJu, and perhaps a little above. Small steamers of the launch class can get up to Antung, with great risk of grounding and the certainty of many accidents. Yongam pho Is twenty miles by a circuitous, treach erous channel above the anchorage for ves sels of any draught, and that anchorage is fnr from the possibility of tho erection of piers. Itwlll require more dredging than the trade of all this part of Ccrea and Tilanrhurla will be worth for a good many years to make a channel sufficiently re liable for ships of any site to get up to Yongampho. This means practically three transfers of cargo, the last being Into i'he slowf unwieldy and uncertain Junk. Of course, trade will always be carried on by this method to a certain amount, but it Is most unlikely that either the Russians or the Japanese who fought on the Yalu this year will live to see Yongampho or Antung a great port. The entire Corean and Chi nese population of Yongampho can hardly be more than 800. . At 'this anchorage, twenty miles below Yongampho, from eight to fifteen Japa nese transports are lying all the time now, ranging In slse trom 300 to 2.000 tons. They come and go constantly, as they did at Chlnnampo. tho list shifting every three or four hours. About each transport a swarm of smalt Japanese schooners or Chinese Junks cluster, filling up with stores or waiting for their turn. All day the Winches dark and rattle, and the slings come overside from the ships filled with bags or boxes. When the tide flows or tho wind serves the laden Juhks cast off from the ships and start their tortuous journey up to Yongampho. Some of the smaller ones struggle on up the river to Antung, but many of them discharge their cargoes at Yongampho, to be piled In the store houses or reloaded on smaller vessels and sent on after the army. From 5 o'clock In the morning to 10 o'clock at night the men on the ships toll at sitting out the In numerable bags and boxes. One hundred men of the transportation corps do the work aboard ship and help to stow tha loads on the schooners and Junks. They do as much work In a day, so the officers or the ships say, as 200 coolies. A soldier gets 20 sen a day; the coolie's pay In or dinary times Is 70 sen. Yet there Is never a complaint from these oldlrs, and when the lart bag goes over the side at night there is as hearty a ring In their laugh as when they set to work on the seemingly bottomless pile In the morning.

The Japanese frankly ad mit that it Is not yet possible for trading vessels to cme up to Antung. Their mili tary necessity will keep the town closed for some time yet, but It ought not to be many months now before Mr. Davidson has opportunity to visit hla new post and take an exact Inventory. Under, the regulations announced to the correspondents with the First army Immedi ately upon' joining headquarters, one of our number is required to go each morning at 10:30 o'clock to headquarters, in order thnt any communication which the general or any of the staff desires to make to us muy be delivered through him. This office is taken in turns, week by week, alphabetic ally, with tha exception, by agreement, that on battle days the duty may be omit ted. The "Intelligence Officer in Brigade Waiting," as the man is called, was routed out of his comfortable field cot under the gat of the Temple to the River Goddeas about 1 o'clock the other morning by an orderly from the supervising officer, who said the chief of the Intelligence section of the staff had some important news which he wished to communicate to the foreign correspondents. It happened that the mail thus aroused bad finished his week of duty that day and the next on the list should have been summoned, but he went ns quickly as he could, lest anything that we should know should get away from us by any chance. It was well after I 'clock when he reached headquarters, whUh was on the river front, while the temple Is on the diametrically opposite edge of the town. The chief of the Intelligence section came put to the little tent which serves as a meeting place of correspondents, and gave out this general order, which is numbered ten: . ' "After the battle, of Sunday (May 1) a number of Chinese roamed over the field robbing the dead and wounded. The Rus sians were generally deprived of clothes, boots, belts and rifles, but were not strip ped naked. The Japanese authorities are very grieved at this and have littered re wards for any missing articles brought to headquarters. "Certain working parts of the -captured guns were also stolen. Rewards have also been offered for their restoration. "One division, which must not be speci fied, has reported to headquarters that it has already burled 1.300 Russians. In order to prevent a recurrence of the robbing f the dead and wounded the 'Japanese have established a system of patrols. This spe cie of theft, however, Is difficult to check, for the Chinese marauders know the coun try well and are skilful in escaping detec tion and capture. This molestation of the dead and wounded has caused great sorrow to the commander. He wishes the real tacts to be generally known. Offenders caught will be sternly dealt with. "In future correspondent will not be al lowed to Indicate specifically the divisions comprising the First army. This applies to both letters and telegrams. . It has been necessary to take thfs step, a much Infor mation has been conveyed to the Russians by ths newspaper reports which have ap pearej from tint to time. Fortunately for the Japanese, the Russians discredited much that was written in the newspapers concerning the Japanese strength.

Beatrictlons on the Correspondents. "The military authorities will allow every latitude possible to correspondents where the censorship of letters Is concerned. They freely and fearlessly Invite criticism from tha foreign correspondents as to their mili tary organization, their methods, their mobilisation, and, if anything is deleted it will only be because it is Inaccurate or would convey Information to the enemy. "Two Chinese, armed with rifles, wars found among the Russian forces on Sun day. They are believed to be members of V band of rotfbers raised by the Russians. Immediately tha Russians retreated these two Chinese opened fire upon them. They were captured by the Japanese and ar pow held as prisoners pending further In vestigation. "On Sunfiay night a party of Russians during the'.r retirement reached Tan Bhan Cheng, to the westward of Hamatan. They took up a position upon a hill. Soon after ward' a necond party of Russians, retir ing over the san.e road, .came In contact with ths first These latter were . nu merically the stronger, and thinking the others were Japanese, attacked at once, charging them fiercely. There were heavy casualties on both sides. So far as can be ascertained the colliding force lost 110 killed snd seventy wounded. This Informa tion was obtained by a Japanese patrol from the natives of Tan Shan Cheng. The patrol entered the village tha following' day and saw a number of freshly made Russian graves. On inquiring what these meant the natives furnished details of tha fight of the previous day. "On May I an officer's patrol of sixteen' men, under lieutenant xagamy, recon noltered toward Tan Bhan Cheng and ob served close to the village a force of Cos sacks dismounted. The officer, leaving two men to hold the horses of his own party, took fourteen men, snd, reaching the rear of the Cossacks, endeavored to stampede their held horses. lis was attacked by the Cossacks before he could eirect tils pur pose. A desperate hand to hajtd combat ensued, the Japanese casualties being on killed and one wounded. Several Rutslsns were wounded, but all made good their es cape." This Interesting information was followed by a simple little paragraph of peculiar significance. It said: "Due notice will be given to the corre spondents when the next engagement Is expected. They will be taken to a posi tion whence they ran see the fighting. They will be taken In a body, none being allowed to proceed Individually." The exact number of Russian dead found and burled by the Japanese was given to us as 1,362. All reports and estlmtaes of Russian wounded put together did not make a number greater than this, an ex traordinary circumstance, when It Is con sidered that usually the proportion of wounded to dead Is about three to one. At the same time the Japanese reported their own dead as 145. including five com missioned officers. Their wounded were said to be 606, Including twenty-nine offi cers.
