ONE MORE PRECINCT YET TO RECOUNT Error Came by Getting- Two Demo, cratlc Straight Ballots In with Republicans and Counting; Them for Bell. Mayor Morgan, William Brooka Reed, representing Charles Huber, and State Sen ator Hazelton, representing Alderman J. R Boll, who comprise the canvassing board, completed the recount of the ballots cast In the First precinct of the First ward and the result places Charles Huber one vote ahead of Mr. Bell, whose seat In the city council he la contesting. Unless the re count of the ballots In the Second precinct, which will be made this morning, changes the situation Mr. Bell will have to vacate his aeat and Mr. Huber will again become the representative of the First ward In the city council. Huber'a gain was due to a mtacount on the part of the election Judges and clerks. The board In recounting the ballots dis covered that two straight democratlo bal lots had been counted among the republican stralghta, thla making a difference of four In favor of Huber. Aa Bell, the republican candidate, waa declared elected by three votea thla change In the coent places Huber one vote ahead as far as the recount has proceeded. In the recount of the Flrat precinct the board found 425 ballots had been counted by the Judges, and this corresponds with the returns. Of these 322, being 171 for Hu ber and 151 for Bell, were not contested. The 103 ballots which were questioned were as follows: Straight republican, 6; straight democratic, 21; scratched republican, 82; scratcnea democratic, 45. These ballots were contested on mere technicalities and the board decided all should be counted. Two ballots, one for Huber and one for Bell, which had evidently been spoiled and not counted by the Judges, were found by me Doara among tne counted ballots and tbey were thrown out.

The rivalry between the seniors and Juniors of the High school in regard to the flying of their class colors remains una bated and Friday the Juniora again suc ceeded In flaunting their banner to the breeze from a point from which they defied the seniors to haul It down. All of yes terday the green and white banner with the mystic numbers " '03" upon It waved from the flagstaff on the roof of the county courthouse in open defiance to the aenlora. Early yesterday morning the Juniors ap plied to County Auditor Innes for permis sion to hang their flag from the top of the courthouse. He referred them to John Hill, the Janitor, with the intimation that he had no objection If Hill waa willing. Hill had misgivings that to grant the request of the Juniors would result In trouble from the seniors, but finally consented. The flag was hoisted and Janitor Hill took the precaution to lock the door leading to the roof and put the key In bis pocket. The seniors, it was reported, threatened to storm the county courthouse at night, but the officers in charge of the building an nounced that If any violent demonstration was attempted the county Jail was conveni ently close by and the ateel cylinder cells were capable of accommodating a number of High school students. The Board of Education had up to last evening taken no action In regard to the expulsion of Seniors Spetman and Flick lnger, and it was stated that the young men would probably be reinstated without action of the board. The members of the board are, they admit, somewhat In a quan dary. They feel that the boya ahould be reinstated, but yet hesitate to take any action, as to do so they believe would not be conducive to the maintenance of disci pline. School Director Hess, who waa last year president of the board. In discussing the situation at the High achool yesterday said: "While wo are anxioua and feel that the two aenlora expelled Thursday should be reinstated, yet we hesitate to order their reinstatement over the heads of the su perintendent and principal. The rein statement of the two young men rests with the senior and Junior classes. If they would cease this fighting over the flying of their banners I am sure there would be no difficulty In securing the reinstatement of young Flicktnger and Spetman. It greatly is to be deplored that this trouble has arisen at this time, so close to the gradu ation of the senior class. It Is a bsd thing for the school in general, and unless disci pline can be maintained at the High school I cannot sea any other course for, the board to pursue but to make some change. No change, however, can or will be made be fore ths close of the school year. One thing is certain, this rivalry between the senior and Junior classes must cease or the school will be ruined. The authority of ths superintendent and the principal must be maintained." The aophomores hsd planned to organise and hsd already selected their class colors, red and white, but Principal Ensign noti fied them yesterday that he would not per mit them to proceed further In organizing. The freshmen, also, it Is said, had become imbued with the class fever and were talk ing of organising, but have been Informed that they will not be permitted to do so. Whan ths seniors saw the banner of their rivals flying from the top of the courthouse they thought they would go them one bet ter by flying their colors from the top of the Grand hotel, the tallest building In the city, but In this they were disappointed. E. W. Hart, receiver for the property, de clined to accede to their request as be did not wsot any 'class rush," which might have been the result, to occur in the hotel.

LONDON THEATER GOSSIP Suggestion to Adraifre the Price of ' Admission Brings Oat m. Protest. LONDON. May 8. English theater-goers are mightily worked up over Goorge Ed wardes' suggestion to raise tbe price of ad mittance to the stalls In London playhouses from 10s 6d to 12s 6d. He holds that tbe Increased amounts paid to musical comedy stars and the cost of producing up-to-date pieces of that nature are quite dispropor tionate to tbe receipts. To remedy thla Mr. Edwardes advocates an agreement be tween the London managers, increasing tbe price of the best aeats by 2 shillings. Beerbohm Tree disagrees with Mr. Ed wardes. "I would like to see the prices reduced Instead of raised," he is quoted as saying, "the idea being that tbe latter course would tend to popularize the theater. Personally I am contented with a modest competency, but I do want the people to at tend the theaters in even larger number than now. Look at America, the whole ground floor of the theater is given up to stalls at a uniform price of $1.50, though In America theater-going is aa much a duty aa golf and foot ball ia with ua." George Alexander is inclined to agree with Mr. Edwardes, Charles Wyndhsm Is doubtful and Frederick Harrison believes a rise In prices would be followed by shorter runs. A canvass of ths managers seemed to indicate that those handling musical comedies are in favor of an Increase of prices. Today revives tbe report that Elfle Fay, the American actress, will be married In June to a young baronet, said to be George I Prescott, a lieutenant in the Second Life guards, who was born in 1875 and owns an estate of about 4,000 acres. "She does not propose," continued Today, "to retire from the Btage, but will probably forsake the music halls for a West end theater under her immediate control." Meanwhile the subject of thla gossip Is In Paris, where the other day she created a furore by unexpectedly conducting a band of music in a well known cafe, to tbe huge delight of the audience.
