BATTLE OF THE BALLOTS IS ON
WITH ENTHUSIASM.
PARTY WORKERS OUT IN FORCE
Polls Opened nt 8 O'clock and Will
Close at 0 This Evening An Impor
tant Election and Much Interest Is
In Evidence.
JKioin Tuesday's Pnllv ]
After a fiosty night , election day
dawned this morning with a bright
HUH and promise of a warm and pleas-
mil day. which stirred the olllclals out
eaily In the morning to complete tlio
aiTiUigomontH for opening the election
booths and at 8 o'clock the voters com
menced to Illu Into the polling places
and tlio movement toward those plac
es of political Interest has continued
all day long and will not almtu until
Ibo votes arc counted tonight. The
election started with a rush In the
wards and precincts and the indica
tions are that an unusually heavy vote
In being polled.
Party workers wore out early , with
carriages or otherwise , gathering In
the dilatory electors. The carriages
bore streamers ; tolling what political
complexion of voters they most de
sired to haul In the polling places and
they wore kept moving constantly dur
ing the day. The election boards wore
on duty promptly at the opening hour ,
with challengers of each 'party ' pres
ent to see that all the voters of the
parly they favored were registered In
and to prevent the opposition party
from running In men who are not en
titled to vote.
At noon a largo 'number of votes
bad been cast In the various polling
places In Norfolk , but much the larger
percentage remained to be cast be
tween noon and the tlmo for the clos
ing of the polls at C o'clock this evenIng -
Ing , and as the tlmo grows shorter for
the registering of the votes the In
terest and efforts of the workers will
Increase until all known voters have
been Induced to attend to their elec
tive rights.
With national , state , county and dis
trict tickets to bo elected , this Is the
most Important election since four
venra ago when MoKlnloy and Iloose-
velt wore elected.
The pleasant day and bright sun
shine Is the kind that is popularly be
lieved to contribute to republican suc
cess , but the opposition parties are
stubbornly working In the Interests of
their candidates and pioposo to make
a winning of it If possible , and If that
Is not possible to keep the republican
majorities down to the lowest possible
point. Men with campaign documents ,
cards of the politicians , arguments for
the support of their Individual selec
tions , and statements calculated to
change votes are working the streets ,
holding the voters up on street cor
ners and doing active work In behalf
of the tickets they represent , so that
It is a lively day In a political way and
the voters appear to bo aroused to
that extent that the feeling of apathy
which distinguished the opening of the
campaign will undoubtedly disappear
before such an avalanche of votes as
has not boon oxporlonced since the
last presidential election.
With the closing of the polls at G
o'clock the real Interest of the cam
palgn will begin and the voters and
others Interested will be on hand to
learn what the prospective outcome is.
Nothing positively definite will be
known before tomorrow and perhaps
oven then the returns will not be sat
isfactory , but returns will begin com
Ing from the east where the polls are
closed several hours before the battle
tlo ends here , soon after dark am' '
a comparison with the vote of four
years ago will give an Indication of
the drift so that the results may be
gin to be estimated and about mid
night or before there will bo returns
to give quite a positive Indication o
how the tide of the silent battle has
drifted.

SMALL BOY MAY DIE FROM CARE
LESS BULLET ,
DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS LOADED
Son of Pcotiy Housh , Whose Notoriety
Hns Brouyht Him Into Print Before
and Whose Terms Have Become
Common , Receives a Wound ,
Carolonsly twirling a little revolver
In his llngero , which ho didn't know
was loaded , Claude Housh , a 15-year-
old bell hey , today sent a bullet Into
the frame of his 8-year-old brother ,
Donald HoiiHh , which may end the lit
tle fellow's life. The bullet , ii.-call-
lire , entered the chest of the small
brother very near the heart. Uncon-
scions , though writhing and tossing
about from ono side of the bed to the
oilier , surrounded by squalor and pov
erty of a sickening sort , the tiny vic
tim of the bullet swears ceaselessly
and screams pitiably from the sinter
ing that ho endures. The shooting oc
curred In the unkempt homo of the
family , three small rooms above a
marble store on Norfolk avenue.
Claude Housh , who Is on the night
shift of Oxnard hotel boll boys , traded
a watch tempoiarlly for the llttlo gun.
Ills mother says she shouldn't have al
lowed him to handle It In the house ,
but the boy said ho didn't feel nafo at
night without it. So the gun came
Into the building. This morning
Claude tossed tlio ilrcarm around his
ngoru , held It out from him , snapped
ho trigger and saw his brother stop
ho hall of lead an Instant later. Ho
eall/ed that the gun contained a load.
\ surgeon dressed the wound but
he ball could not bo found. The lit-
le follow was laid on a bed and throw
Is slender , weak llttlo form from side
o sldo , churning the blood near the
voiiud.
A Pitiful Spectacle.
The scenes whlcn surround the
voundod lad are sickening to a do-
rco. Clad in poverty of a nauseating
ypo , the family of many small chll-
ren presents a spectacle that Is hard
o Imagine. Ono small hey is just re-
overlng from a blow on the head from
lingo chunk of coal , which was
'eared would bo fatal and which has
opt him an invalid for three months ;
v llttlo girl Is Just recovering from a
eng spoil of Illness ; the mother , bur-
cued with trials and tribulations ga-
ore , holds a nursing babe in her lap
, nd the father , "Peggy" Housh , ex-
onvlct , drunkard and jailbird of a
iveok ago , when bo was convicted of
touting a wagonload of groceries , is
ibsent. Ho has gene to Noligh where
t was said ho was husking corn.
Kind neighbors have gone Into the
ilaco to assist as much as possible.

Custodian John R , Hays Receives Let

That the Plans of Norfolkans Can
Not be Carried Out.
[ Krom Tuecdnj'B Dally. ]
The now federal building in Norfolk
cannot ho used for n public library , as
was petitioned by the Woman's club ,
nor tor the holding of a public ban
quet celebrating the completion of the
structure , as was petitioned by the
Commercial club. A letter has been
received by Custodian John R. Hays
which settles the matter llnally and
definitely.
The Commercial club had planned ,
providing the government would allow
It. to hold a banquet In the courtroom
of the building to celebrate the acqui
sition. A committee was appointed
some tlmo ago to ascertain whether
or not this could bo done. The Wo
man's club had hoped to establish a
public library in some portion of the
building which was not used for federal -
oral purposes.
"The regulations prohibit the use of
the building or any portion of it for
other than government use , " said the

SUFFERS INTENSE PAIN TODAY"
Little Donald Housh , Shot Yesterday
by His Brother in Play , Shows
Signs of Pleurisy His Head Is Cov
ered With Raw Sores.
I From Tucsdny'B Dally. ]
Donald Housh , the little 8-year-old
lad who was shot In the chest by his
brother , Claude , accidentally , yester
day , was still allvo at noon today
though suffering intense pain and
with signs of a development of pleu
risy. Dr. Bear , the attending surgeon.
If , not ready to say whether or not th&
little fellow will recover , but the gen
eral conditions , it is thought , are
against him.
The boy has a weak constitution to
go on. Having lived for eight years-
in poverty and miserable environment ,
his frame has not taken on any too
much of the glow of health and his
body was in none too good condi
tion .for the ball of load that sunk Into-
it from the barrel of his brother's
careless revolver.
His head is covered with running'
sores that cause oven the physician
to shrink back from the very touch of
his flesh and any bullet wound , In such
a bit of llesh , might be very danger
ous. It Is thought the bullet went
into the muscles behind the back.
