There is a faint suggestion of the "popular voice" being given a show In the following section, and It Is the only instance waere the School Board In any degree loosens its grip upon the machinery of a School Board election: i Sec 26.

In case cf a failure cf the Jr. (res or clerk of election, appointed by the board, to appear at the time and place fixed by law for opDin(rthe polls, or any one of them, the voters present at any election precinct to the number of ten er more may proceed to elect the tudres or clerk at euen noil. whereupon the clerk of election havln it charjrt of the ballots shall deliver the same to said judgek to be unit election. the ELiCTiox rnxinrrrr -row It was under the work in a of this rule What the wrangle occurred in the Election Committee yesterday evening. Director O'on-nell of the Eighth District obiet'ed to the appointment of Judcs and clerks of election In lis district being made by Director Bus.

r. O'Connell apparently feared that Mr. Bs would use this appointive power to hs (O'Connell's) dlsadvantasre, and he klckei against such a misapplication of the election machinery. He preferred that his friend Director Kelly, should exercise such apowert ful and Important privilege, and be kicked nntll the appointing power was given to Kelly instead of Bus. I "I wouldn't have worked against O'Connell in the matter, said Director Bus this morning.

"Of course such work can be done, for it's easy enough to appoint judges and clerics who will do up' the man yoa want 'em to by ballot-box stuffing, and I suppose O'Connell thought that belns a Republican, would try that on him, but I told him that I Intended doing only the fair thing. I wanted O'Connell's district because It's rlprht next to my own. Oh yes, there's no doubt that fraud by the School Board In a School Board election under the present system would be the easiest thing In the world. They have the whole thing in their hands." Director McEntlre thought there need be no more fear of fraud In the School Board election than In an ordinary political struggle. He acknowledged, however, that the School Board had peculiar power In Insuring the success of a particular candidate, and said it had been tried on him wben the board, act-inir unaer the direction of what he called the Mercantile Club crowd, consisting of President Miller, Directors Barstow, Richardson and others, tried to.

freeze him out and put in Mr. Stanislaus Mitchell, who was made the regular candidate of the board. Mr. McEntlre also remembered the case of the contest between Director Kelly and Dr. Standing In the Eighth District, where charges of fraud In the election were preferred by the latter, but which ended In the board seating Director Kelly.

M. K. If ACKLIW'B BEBIGWATIOJT. The Directors whose terms expiring cause the pending election are Messrs. Barstow, Richardson, Holmes, irlbbons, Dutro and JPresIdent Miller, six In all.

President Miller's call for an election stated that there were seven vacancies to be filled. The seventh was to be caused by President Miller's forcing the Issue that Director Mackiin was Ineligible to office as a school Director, on account of his having accepted the office of Assistant City Counselor. Director Mackiin has, however, stolen a march upon President Miller. He states that be Is now contemplating resigning the office of Assistant City Counselor, lhls would enable him to remain In the school Board.

BAlTITEBMAirS CHARGES AGAI2T8T THE SCHOOL BOARD ELECTI02T 8Y8TE1C 2a Wants the Recorder of Voters to Appoint the Judges and Clerks of Election The Board's Dangerous Control of Election Machinery A Significant Wrangle. The Silt Stocking wing of the Republican City Central Committee has practically decided upon Its coarse In the fchool Board election. It will call a convention and nominate a ticket, tout the object Is not so much to elect it as It Is to 6ettle the controversy between the warring factions of local Bepublicanlsm. The plan of the committee Is to call a convention as the regular Republican Committee, nominate a party ticket for Dlrectors-at-large and certify the same to the Secretary of the School Board as the regular Republican ticket. Mark R.

Chart rand, the Silk Stocking Committeeman of the Twentieth Ward, said this morning that the committee was anxious to settle the squabble without any delay. 'We recognize," he said, "the Importance of putting a stop to this controversy as soon as possible. I am satisfied our organization is the legitimate Republican City Central Committee and we are prepared to stand the test. I am at the same time opposed to politics, in the fcliooi Board, but In this case I am In favor of the nomination of a Republican ticket. Our committee will, 1 feel satisfied, call a convention, nominate a straight Republican ticket, and file the same with the School Board officials as the action of the Republican party of St.

Louis. Then I guess the McFall committee will rrotest and perhaps appeal to the courts for a decision. So far as the legal merits of tee controversy go I am prepared and I know most of my colleagues are prepared to accept the Investigation and the decision. I recognize It as a matter of the preatest Importance to Republicanism in St. Louis that the controversy should be settled, and I think the approaching School Board election a good time to accomplish this result.

One thing Is certain and that Is that our committee knowing that It Is the regular organization, will not te afraid of the result. WILL PEEK AK ISJirSCTIO. Chairman John McFall said this morning that he heard a day or two ago that the Silks were about to nominate a ticket and label it the production oT the Republican party of -t. Louis. "They are at liberty to so ahead," he said, "and do what they please.

They are an organization of citizens and that is ail. They do not represent the Republican party or any other party. If they want to nominate a School Board ticket they can do so. but I don't believe they will succeed in getting It filed as the reeular ticket. What will we do to preqent It? Well, I guess we can tret an injunction to restrain the school Board from printing such a combination as the regular Kepublican ticket.

That Is my opinion, at least, and I think I have given the matter much study and attention, lou can also say that we-are not afraid of any litigation on the subject. Our committee is the legal organization and time and decisions will, I am sure, demonstrate this fact more clearly." DAKGEROUS AXD OTAIE. IiIEECTOS BAXXESHAS'S CHARGE AGAZ5ST TBI BOA-RD ELECTION SYSTEM. Unless subjected to the most unceasing and vizilant attention by the citizens and voters St. Louis the School Board has a "lead pipe cinch" on Its own existence and personnel.

School Director Bannerman stated this startling fact yesterday evening In the course ot a significant wrangle among the members of the Election Committee. The difficulty arose over the appointment of judges and clerks for the approaching election. The fact that upon such appointments hinged largely the chances of election of certain candidates was one of the significant developments of the wrangle. The fact that those appointments can be made only by the School Board, which may be Interested at any time in the election of unworthy factional directors, was another. Wreetor Bannerman threw a bombshell in the midst ot the Election Committee yesterday by suggesting that the appointment of Dudsres and clerks of the school Board election be placed in the hands of Recorder of oters Carlisle, a sworn officer.

His sueeestion had, he states, an almost miraculous effect upon the wrangllntr members of the Election Committee. They "got together" at once, adjusted all differences, errangeda speedy basis of compromise on the appointment of Judees and clerks, and pot rid of the whole matter so quickly that It almost took away the breath cf the unlnl-ated. But Director Bannerman had In the meantime made some sensational charges against th School Board election system. He declared that under that system the board was the closest of close corporations, it had an autocratic control of Its own ticctlons, and that it could elect those candidates whom It desired elected, and "count Cut" those it wlsned defeated with the greatest ease in life. Director Bannerman was not especially reform in this direction.

He was simply stating his private convictions on the subject. End when his suggestion as to the appointment of Judees and clerks was hurriedly Ignored, he took It quite easy. the School Board Isn't a close corporation, i never saw one," was all that Director Bannerman said as a parting shot. BASVERM15 TALKS PLAINLY. This morning he was even more outspoken as to the control which the School Board has over the final results of Its own elections.

"A Head pipe cinch' isn't the word for it." said Director Bannerman. 'The board simply has perfect control of the whole machinery of its elections, even to the extent of I asslng final Judgment upon its own work, from wntcli judgment there Is no appeal. "Through a careful appointment of judges end clerks it can Inevitably secure the election of Us own candidates, or of the candidates of the stronger faction within Its ranks. How? "Why, Dy simply appointing Judees and clerks who will stuff the ballot-boxes for the right candidates. The committee passes upon and counts the ballots, and that's the absolute end of the whole affair.

"Even If there should be a contest, the School Board Committee is the sole arbitrator between the contestants. There is no provision for outside Interference or supervision. "To make a plain statement of fart, in a School Board election, nobody is in it' for a moment except the School Board. "The danger cf this system could be seen ny a tinna man. so to speak.

There Is everv reason why the appointment of Judges and clerks and the count of ballots for School Br ard election should be made by a sworn v.ncer ouisiae tcnooi jsoara circles, and the Recorder of Voters is the proper officer for that work. "I was told last nlarht that it wonid be im possible for the Recorder of Voters to tw tfven that power, for the reason that one of the school Board rules expressly provided-for "-icrcme wiiain ine scnooi t.oara alone. "II I am not mlfttaKen. hrarner that mla couid be repealed by a two-thirds vote of the w-ard. But I did not press the matter.

1SSU the fcchool HIS KXTBSZSEB, GE0EGE HTJTX, STILL AT LIBERTY. Another Murder Added to the) Long List of Those Eecently Committed Mrs. Paul Rather Commits Suicide on Account of Jealousy Application for a Warrant Against Constable Frese. William Traynbam, the negro who was shot In the abdomen on the steamer Spread Eagle last Monday afternoon, by George Hull, died of his wound at the City Hospital early this morning. Trayn-ham was a strong, hard working deck hand, 21 years of age.

His murderer, George Hull, Is 22 years of age, and was employed as a deck band on the same boat. These two and a few other negroes were throwing dice on the deck of the boat about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon when a dispute arose as to whose turn It was. Traynham and Hull grew wrathy and called each other names. They soon came to blows and Hull ended the fight by drawing a 88 caliber revolver and shooting bis antagonist In the abdomen. In the confusion that followed, Hull succeeded in making his escape and is still at large.

Traynham was carried to the Dispensary where Dr. Stelnmetz placed a temporary bandage on the wound to stop the flow of blood and then sent him to the City Hospital. There It was found that the bullet had cut four holes in the intestines and lodged In the muscles of the hip. The punctures were sewed up and the prospects of the Injured man's recovery were very fair nntll nightfall, when he began to grow weak. He died at 5:20 o'clock this morning.

The police are now looking for Hull, who Is supposed to have gone down the river. If he remains on the Mississippi River he will probably be captured, as he will be seen by the roustabouts who go up and down on the river, and as usual In such cases, they would take great pleasure, or try to curry In telling the police authorities. Mrs. Pauline Hatbert's Suicide. Mrs.

Pauline Bathert of 3004 Lemp avenue died at her home early this morning from the effects of poison administered by herself Monday night and Tuesday morning. Mrs. Bathert was living with her husband.

He worked witn ntr nearly ail tne day and oia all In his power it extract the poison, but It bad entered tte system, and after a night or terrible aetny she died early this mornlnar.

Mr. Bathert says his wife had no reason to be jealous cf him. He bad always treated her lovlnttly, and his home was a pleasant one except fir that one trouble. Constable Freae's Alleged Brutality. Mr.

L. A. Balch, a well-known contractor. residing at Xo. 6333 Garfield avenue, applied for a warrant to-day against Constable John F.

C. Frese. He charges the Constable with a brutal and unprovoked assault on Mrs. Balch yesterday afternoon between 5 and 6 o'clock. A few weeks ago Mr.

Balch was sued on aaeDtoili Derore Justice Jeff Pollard of the Rock Springs District. Mr. Baich's story is mat ne paia tne diu ana substan tlates It with a paid bill for the full amount. Tne assault on bis wife, he alleges, grew out of the bill already paid. Yesterday afternoon Constable Frese, accordlne to the story of Balch, went to the latter's house and asked for Balch and Mrs.

Baich's wife said that her husband was not at home. Then the constable, who Mrs. Balch char ere witn beintr very little less than beastly drunk, demanded the costs In the case of the $14. Mrs. Balch would not submit to the demand and the Constable said that he would take the horse out of the stable and he did.

Mrs. Balch says that she tried to bar the stable door and that the Con stable violently pushed her away, knocked her down and stamped her after she was down. At Auction. We win sell a fine Chlckerlng Piano at 12 o'clock noon, Friday. B.

Inspector of Customs, M. J. Nolan, Dis charged by Collector ChnrchilL HE WILL HOT GIVE UP WITHOUT A FIGHT. The Causes Which Led to His Dismissal Hit Quarrel With Chief Inspector Sell Alleged Insult to the President BIr. Nolan Tells His Side of the Story.

Ex-member of the Legislature W. J. Kolan is no longer an Inspector of Customs In the office of Col. James 0. Churchill, Surveyor of Customs for this district.

Mr. Nolan has been suspended and Col. Churchill has forwarded a full report of his action to Secretary Wlndom of the Treasury Iiepartment for his approval and if this Is given the suspended Inspector's name will te permanently effaced from the pay rolls of the office. Mr. Nolan was served with notice of his suspension last Saturday, and since then he has Informed his friends tlat he did not propose to lay down until ae bad fought the case to the end.

He will, It is understood, go to Washington and ask a hearing from the Secretary of the Treasury. He was appointed an Inspector Sept. 16, 1869, and filled the office up to last Saturday, whea Col Churchill notifled him that he cotld consider himself suspended pending fisai action at Washington. Jfolan, it appears, waxed Indignant and demanded an explanation, which was cheerfully i furnish ed him by the Surveyor and Bis chief deputy, Mr. Toung.

Kolan then left the office and has been busily engaged tonsultlng with his friends ever since. COL. CHtrRCHIlL EXPLaEfS. Surveyor Churchill 1, when asked this morning, that be tad suspended Nolan for several causes. "They can be said to be Classed as Insub ordination, Inefficiency and excessive drinking on duty.

Aga.lt, on two occasions that we are certain of, he referred to the President of the Cnlted States in a most contemptible manner and employed the most abusive language In speaking of the Chief Executive of this country. The power is given me as the head of this department to suspend In cases of urgency, and I have done so. Department circular letter Ho. Issued Jan. 3 of this year, covers the ground fully.

It reads as follows In eases of urgency the pr.tci pal officer of en Atoms may, as pamsnment for any negxact or minor ceimquency tne punishment vnereot is not prescribed ty law suspend from duty ana par for a period not to exceed thirty dars for any one cause any customs orticer or emplore nominated or appointed and subordinate to him, pending the tction of the Secretary of the Treasury. All taepensions should be immediately reported to tne Ftcretary of the Treasury, with a full Etatemeat of tie facts In each case. "We have complied with the orler and a fall statement has been made. Mr. Nolan's conduct was such that we could not tolerate him and the discipline of the dejartment demanded his removal.

He drank-on duty and did not seem to care about attending to his duties. On tie 24th lnst. Mr. J. R.

Bell, the Ctlef Inspector of this office, was compelled to tell Inspector Nolan to apply himself more closely to his wort and to cease loltemg and wasting time. Instead of doing so, he became violently indgnant, defied Mr. Bell's authority, and then used some exceedingly abusive laiguage expressive of his opinion of that official. Of course we cannot tolerate such conduct, and we were obliged to suspend the offender." WHAT SOLAS' 8 FRIEXDS SAT. Some of the suspended Inspector's friends are Indignant, and are disposed to the belief that he has bean sacrificed to make room for Belnstadler the Republican committeemen who abandoned the hoodlums recently to Jol the Hllks.

About this time he was given his -choice by Recorder Hobbs, who had him employed, to quit the Central Committee or resign his position. He resigned his position rather than retire from the Centra! Committee fight. Others say Nolan was removed because he was too pronounced in his expressions ot admiration for Blaine. "Nolan has lived In the city for years and has been a Democrat, a fnion Labor advocate and is now a Blaine Republican. He served in the Navy from 1S62 to 187 and was witb farragut during the 1 Civil war.

lor a number or years he was connected with the St. Eoufe Fire Department, and was then it is claimed an aggressive Democrat. Some 4 yeari a sro he was retired from tne department, and In lfm ran for the Legislature on the Union Labor and Republican tickets and was elected. At the time of his election he was employed as a conductor on the Cable Sc. Western road.

He is about 4 years of ae. and is a brother of Cbarle Nolan, who was at the bead of the State Union Labor Committee a few years asro. SOLA! FCLL OF FIGHT. Mr. Nolan was seen this afternoon, and wben asked to wnat causes he attributed his dismissal he said: "The trouble be-ran some time ago.

The Council has decided that the three new engine houses, whose necessity the Post- Dispatch pointed out Monday, shall be built. One Is to be at Twentieth and Wash ington avenue, another on Vernon, between Belt and Goodfellow, and the third In the Fair Grounds district. The one on Washlnsr- lngton avenue will cost $25,000, and the other i apiece. The bids have been kept In their box by Councilman William Culllnane and John C. uensiek.

wbo were unwllllnir that the Kire Department should be Improved while Chief i.muay was in omce. councilman John A. Sloan, the third member ot the mmmltt.i has made unavailing protest against this narrow policy, and the fires Sunday nerved mm to ao an extraoiainary tning to nave tne oiiis passed. When the Council met last night be made a minority report on all the bills in the committee's box, including one for the repair of the No. 12 en gine house.

He took Councllmen Culllnane ana Benslek by surprise, and they made in stent protest, assisted materially by Councilman Charles E. Wehner. "it seems to me that Mr. Sloan is acting whu a iuou aeai oi assurance." saia tjoun cllman Culllnane. "He couid have had a meetlnar of the com- mniee at any rime on tnose Dins," said uoun- iiuitxu Councilman Sloan said that was all non sense and the gentlemen knew It.

The combine members of the Council had been accused of delaying those bills, and he wanted to show that it was the other side. Motions of various kinds were made Dy tne Mayor's friends to stop the passage of the bill. but Councilman Horton got the Council to take the bills out of the committee's hands, and consider them as a whole. Humiliated and ansrrv. Council- men Culllnane and Benslek still fought, and uouBcumon vtenner lent tnem maniui sup port, councilman uensietc made several declamatory speeches, denouncing the proceed ing as outrageous, "We ought to see the Bulldlnsr Commis sioner and Lindsay before we act on these ealS, 'Ml mi a r.

U'ah, km. "If these bills are so important, why has not imei unasar come to us ana tola us so." Councilman Sloan hurried to the tele phone in the Secretary's office and came back smiling. "Chief Lindsay will be here In a minute," he said. In five min utes the stalwart chief was talking to me committee, ice loopy was niiea witn the "push." and they had been uproarious during the very personal debate. Wben Chief Lindsay came in they eyed him vindictively.
