The suit against voting machines, which Is threatened to be started in this city, has called to the attention of politicians that under the voting machine the tall end of th ticket will not suffer, as It is feared it will when the paper ballot is used with the circle off the ballot. For the first time In Iowa at a presidential election the circle will be off the ballot in Iowa. It was taken off at the session of the legislature In 1S9B and It was shown then that many would not vote beyond the important offices. When the circle was left at the head of the Australian ballot the voter could make a cross In that circle and his vote counted for the entire ticket from top to bottom. I'nder the law now it Is necessary for blm to make a cross in front of the name of every man for whom he wishes to vote. Many citizens will vote for the first eight or ten names and then, being uninterested In the minor offices, wiil not vote further down the ticket. . Whether the voting machines to be used in Des Moines this fall for th first time are Illegal or not there Is no question but that their manipulation amounts to prac tically the same thing as restoring the circle. When the voter enters the hootn he must pull the lever of some party or other. In doing so he fixes the machine in position to vote the straight party ticket. He Is then at liberty to put bsck Into their plaoes the lever above the name of any candidate of that party fur whom tut dots mi wish to vote and la pull down the lever above the name of a candidate for that of fice of some other party. The grounds on which It Is claimed that the voting machine does not comply with the law since the circle was taken off the ballot, are that the legislature In amend ing the law to take the circle off the ballot cut out these words: Or If he desires to vote for all the candi dates upon any ticket, he may do so by placing a cross in the circle at the head of tne ticket. This leaves the provision reading as fol lows: Vpon retiring to the voting booth, the voter shall prepare his ballot by placing a cross In the square opposite the name of each candidate for whom he desires to vote. Of course those who desire to defend the voting machine claim that this amendment pertains to the paper ballot and not to the voting machine and that the machine Is still legal. Politicians will be rejoiced If It I found legal by the courts for It will Prevent the voter from voting for icandl dates for the rest. few offices and then neglecting N. Y. Plumbing Co. Tel. 250.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Youthful Burglar is Captured While in the Cressey Shoo Store. WORKS ON THE SAFE ALL NIGHT Tools Are Crnde for Such a Job and He Had Made I.lttle Progress Toward Getting at the Cnah Box. F. A. Cressey and Chief John Brlggs succeeded in capturing a burglar Sunday morning in the Cressey shoe store at 2407 N street. The burglar, a young man not quite n years old, gave his name as Harry Summers Of St. Joseph, but who is George M. Gilliam of Peoria. 111. He had a partner in St. Joseph, he confessed, a young man named J. E. Faltys, who worked a year or more for Mr. Cressey and lived while in the city at 1916 M street. About six months he left the service, and went to St. Joseph. He gave Harry Sum mers the combination of the safe and told him of the "lay out," as Summers ex pressed it. There was J500 In the safe and only for the fact that Mr. Cressey changed the combination within the last week he would probably have been a heavy loser. The young man came up from St. Joseph last Thursday and located . In Council Bluffs. It Is said he has a sweetheart there whom he brought with him He came to South Omaha Saturday evening and entered the store about 8 o'clock. He asked the way to the closet and was directed to the basement. He remained In concealment in the basement until the store was closed for the night. Then he at tempted to work the combination and fail ing in this he attempted to cut Into the safe with a hammer and chisel. He worked all night on the safe which was partly hid den from the front windows. The watch man turned on the lights twice during the night but failed to discover him. Evidently h had been told that no one ever visited the store on Sunday, for he kept at his work until broad daylight. At a. m. Mr. Cressey entered the store and as he did so saw someone dart for the stairway to the basement. When he reached the safe he saw the tools and the attempt at break ing In. He Immediately went out, locking the dror and telephoned the police from the Schaeffer drug store at the corner of Twenty-fourth and N streets, Chief Brlggs iiij wsmm Entry can be made at Dallas or Gregory, S. D., or application may be forwarded from O'Neill or Valentine, Neb. Dallas and Gregory are the main registering points.

Agent, 1502 Farnam Street, Omaha. responded at once, and the boy, who had no arms, was easily captured. He made no effort to deny his Intent and told of his tip from Faltys in St. Joseph. The police in that city ware at ones wired and Faltys was arrested and will be held for extradition. Summers has the appearance of a novice or at most a member of the shop-lifting class. He had the usual trappings of a cigarette smoker only that he smoked the brown papers, or those saturated with an opiate. He was well dressed but looked forlorn last night after a day spent behind the bars. In his attack on the safe he had accom plished little except to break the handle off the combination and dent the steel In a few- places. Faltys is said to have cut a wide swath when In South Omaha, wear ing the best clothes and seeking the best society. Foneral of Chester I.arton. The funeral of Chesley D. Iayton was attended by a large number of the older residents of South Omaha. The ceremony took place Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. All of the pioneers of the city remember Mr. Layton. The service was conducted by Dr. R. L. Wheeler, the pioneer pastor of the city. A quartet consisting of Thomas Broadhurst. E. G. Roiselle. J. C. Carley and J. B. Smith assisted with appropriate musical numbers. Dr. Wheeler's address, as one by one he has laid so many pioneers to rest, was particularly tender and remi niscent. N. D. Mann, Patrick McAvoy, James Sandon, F. A. Cressey, David Anderson I and Kdward A. Voss acted as pallbearers. All were pioneers and old friends of Mr. Layton. The burial of the deceased was nt Laurel Hill cemetery. He waa formerly a member of the Odd Fellows, but In later years, becoming too feeble to attend, the membership lapsed. He was seriously In jured In a railroad accident nearly a year ago and since that time had not been able to be about much snd this Injury Is thought to have hastened his death.
