CanYassing Board' 1 Error in Firit Frecinot
Wipei Out Bell'g Majoritj.
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.
Examination of the nineteen ballots
thrown out by the Judges and so returned by
them showed that they had been property
discarded.
This left the only change in the count th
mistake of the two straight democratic bal
lots wnicn nad been counted by the Judgea
for Bell, this making a gain of four vol..
for Huber.

JUNIOR BANNER STILL FLIES
Floats from Courthouse Flagstaff and
Janitor Carries the
Key.
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.

the fiercest bouts ever fought in this city.
Both men were forced to take a severe
drubbing and Welneg's defeat came after
a display of gameness rarely equaled in
the prize ring. Twice In the sixth round
he was knocked to his knee by Choynskf s
hard lights and lefts to the Jaw, but each
time he came up ready for more punlxh
ment. He was unable however, to defend
himself and Choynski finally beat him
down, landing him against the ropes, unable
to move.
It waa several minutes before he was able
to rise, and even then he was badly dazed,
for when Choynski attempted to shake
hands wltn him Weineg squared off ready
to continue fighting, unconscious that he
had been counted out.
Prior to tne fifth round Weineg seemed
to have the bettor of the fight, and In the
third landed again and aaln on Choynskl's
face and oncv sent Choynski to his knees
with a hard right to the jaw, Choynski
seemed unable to arise, but the gong
sounded just In time to save him.
Choynskl's recuperative powers asserted
themselves, however, and In the sixth round
he came up fresh and forced the fighting,
swinging a hard left to Welneg's Jaw which
staggered him. Choynski landed rights and
lefts on his opponent's head and Jaw ao
rapidly that Weineg was unable to avoid
the blows and was forced to hla knees for
the count. He seemed almost out, but
came up gamely, only to go down again
before Choynski a terrific Jabs and punches.
Then he a row, but atmed entirely unable
to defend himself and Choynski soon ended
the fifht with a light and left to Welneg's
law, knocking him against the ropes, where
he remained practically unconscious while
Referee Slier counted him out.

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.
