8c via Alt rtors, 7C Mala Awn HiiuuiujiJ nittuiiuiui riayor Will Send Communi- to Aldermen on the Subject. THE EXTRA EXPENSE. Host Be Charged to Abominable Changes Hade By Democrats in Election Law. Major Fuhrmann so thoroughly agrees with Commissioners Beyer and Schmidt of the board of elections on the subject of baying new Toting machines for the city that ha will send a communication to the alder man on Monday recommending action for tha purchase of the new machines. These are the machines which are provided with separate columns for presidential electors, thug complying with the provisions of the new election law.

Usually a communication of this kind la referred to committee, but it is be-liered that in this case immediate action will be taken by the aldermen and concurred la by the councilmen, providing for a eertlflcate of necessity and a bond issue to pay for the machines. If objection is made by any member of the aldermen the matter must go to committee, and in that event a special meeting of the board will be called early in August for final disposition of the matter. The board of election, composed of Commissioners Beyer end Schmidt, has fl gored and figured on the local situation and both the commissioners agree that the best and cheapest solution of the prob lem IS oy IO purcoHse 01 new tuiing machines. They can buy these for each, with an allowance of $100 each for the old machines and full price for the half dozen new ones purchased recently. They figure that the new machines would cost about $65,000 cod that it would cost twice that sum to rediotrk-t the city so as to provide for voting by paper ballot.

Commissioner Schmidt was reminded yesterday that Supt. Hillery cf the state bureau of elections and his first deputy, former 8heriff James Smith, believe that the city would not have to be redistrlcted If paper ballots were used and that the old election booths could have enough compartments put in them to take care of the voters. all nonsense." said Mr. Schmidt. "We average.

700 voters to a district. Toting by paper ballot tfle law allows a voter five minutes to do the work. If each man took his five minutes, and that's what you've got to figure on, and only one -compartment was used In each election booth. It would take about 58 hours to do the work. Giving us five compartments to a booth would do the work In about twelve hours, but that means that the voters must come in a steady stream all day.

A voter gets a minute to do the work of voting on a maehlne, and every year In many districts the voting runs faster than one a minute. If we use the paper -ballots we must redlstrlct the city and make the districts smaller, and that wonld mean an expense of more than $100,000, including the additional cost of inspectors; booths, etc." So far not a member of the common council baa been found who doesn't favor buying new machines. The people have grown used to them and there would be a big outcry if the paper ballots were resorted to again. In figuring matters out this fall voters will do well to remember that all this worry, fuss and additional expense about conducting the elections next fall must be charged up to the abominable changes made In the election laws by the democrat while' they have been in power at They foisted upon the people a law which provided jobs for place-hunting politicians In the various state boards of election and which imposed a burden of fully $700,000 a year on the taxpayers of the state. Republicans and democrats alike should take notice that this fall it will be impossible for a voter to vote a straight party ticket, including a vote for president, by.

the doing of one act. If the new voting machines are bought every voter will have to 'operate two party column levers if he wants to vote the state and local ticket and for president. If paper ballots are used a separate set must be provided for presidential electors. AUTO ACCIDENTS. Bicyclist Bowled Over in Collision and Hi Left Ear Was Severed Two Automobiles Crash.

At no MORNING AND NIGHT. Would Have East Aurora Trains Start at Holland Conference Will Be Held. As a result of an informal hearing before the public service commission yesterday afternoon on the complaint of residents of the village of Holland ag4inst the Pennsylvania Railroad Com-lariy with regard to train service morning and night, a conference will be Iield next week between representatives cf the villagers and the railroad in an attempt to arrive at a compromise.

Thirty residents of the village signed the complaint against the road. The Hollanders believe that trfic warrants the putting on of a train reaching Buffalo by 8 a. m. They stated that this could be done by starting at-Holland the train which leaves East Aurora at 7.10 a. m.

By rearranging the schedule in some degree, was their claim, this train could leave East Aurora at the same time that it now does each morning. Also the complainants want the train which leaves Ftst Aurora at 7.55 a. m. to make its start from Holland a little earlier. Additional trains from Buffalo to Holland between 7.40 a.

m. and 8.45 p. m. also are requested, as is the pcheduling of p. train from Holland to Buffalo later than the 4.54 p.

m. train. Prank Rumsey represented the railroad and Perry E. Wurst the villagers at the hearing. A number of the resident of Holland were on hand to testify.

No witnesses were sworn, the case instead taking the form of an informal hearing. The principal defense of the railroad was that Holland is not in surburban territory and therefore cannot he entitled to surburban service, to which the service requested would virtually amount. The Pennsylvania makes certain boundaries around the large cities to which it runs trains. Holland, is the claim, is not near enough to Buffalo to be included in the surbur ban service. At the hearing as an example Attorney Rumsey stated the boundaries maintained around Philadel phia and said that Holland is a greater distance from Buffalo than the sur burban boundary line outside the Penn sylvania city.

John Rogers, general superintendent of the Pennsylvania in Buffalo, de clared his willingness to take the matter under advisement and to see what can be done in the matter. He said that while possibly the request for the additional morning train might be granted, it probably would be impossible to do anything with regard to the evening service. However, he said, he was willing to consult with Attorney Wurst and see if a compromise can be arrived at. The villagers will hold over their complaint until the outcome of the conference is learned. If nothing comes of it, the complaint will be prosecuted before the commission next Friday.

Chairman Stevens sternly warned two companies distributing electricity in Gas-port to remedy dangerous conditions In their wiring systems in that village. The A. I Swett Electric Light Power Company alleges that the Middleport Gas Electric Company is the offender. The latter company, on the other hand, declares that the other company is the one in error. Inspectors of the public service commission reported the matter to the commission.

The companies are competitors and blamed this as a reason for the dangerous arrangement of wiring. Each claimed to have been the first to be granted a franchise in Ga sport, but Chairman Stevens, disregarding, this, admonished the representatives of the companies to make changes which will do away with the danger and then come to the commission for a settlement of the other controversy. Hearings were held upon the application of the Xewfane Electric Company for the approval of the exercise of franchises in the town of Xewfane and upon the application of the Depew Lancaster Light, Power Conduit Company for the approval of the exercise of franchise granted by the town of Alden.

Ma ham's hotel in Colden, Erie county, burned to the ground early this morning. Fifteen boarders, who. were asleep in the hotel when the fire broke out. had no difficulty in escaping. None of the furnishings of the hotel was saved: A small shed and henhouse were also destroyed.

Lack of water caused the complete destruction of the two-story building. Likewise it came near to causing the loss of several buildings in the vicinity and had it not been for arduous work on the part of the village fire department and the other villagers the damage would have been far Albert Frisbee, one of the boarders, discovered the fire at midnight. He hastily warned the other occupants of the hotel and made his way to the street. So quickly did the flames spread that there was no opportunity to save more than a few pieces of furniture. The fire started in the kitchen in the rear of the house.

Its origin is not known. The flames spread with lightning rapidity, for the house was an old one and the timbers were very dry. The structure was built about thirty years ago. Before being used as a hotel it was a brewery. When that went out of business a numler of years ago H.

E. Mayham made some changes and turned it into a hotel. There is another hotel in the village. The hotel, which was two stories in height, was situated across from the Colden railroad station. It was some distance from the Colden river.

When the fire department stretched its hone, it found that it was short. Accordingly, when they learned that their hose wasn't long enough, the firefighters seized pails and a bucket brigade was formed. The flames had by this time such a good start that the firemen devoted their efforts to preventing the spread of the fire. A long shed for the shelter of rigs, with which every country hotel is provided, was soaked with water. Had the flames reached this, the Colden Creamery, a $5,000 structure, about tio feet long, undoubtedly would have been destroyed.

Close watch was kept and a number of incipient Mazes in the vicinity, caused by sparks, were quickly squelched. In an hour and a half the hotel was in ashes. The loss from the fir? is about $5,000, partly covered by insurance. SUMMER CLASSES. Those at the Central Y.

Still In Prison. Washington, V. July 20. Christopher C. Wilson of wireless fame, -under a three-year sentence in Atlanta penitentiary, is having a bit of freedom, which led to the report that instead of being in jail he is at large.

Department of justice officials say that some time ago the federal courts in NW Ynrlr ritr icumed a writ nf Hja corpus requiring the warden of Atlan- ta penitentiary to produce Wilson as a witness in a case then pending. Wilson was taken to New York in custody of a guard who is technically an officer of the court.

RnfW nf US Ftnrnos I lirnmrihi lo whinh n-aa irrof toil at I loo Dead Man's Curve" early yesterday morning, the mystery surrounding the identity of the occupants of the auto and the extent of their injuries Is as deep as ever. The numerous blood stains on the windshield and seats of the machine caused a searching party of farmers to scour about in the neighborhood in hopes to fiud something rhat would lead to the discovery of the injured passengers.

The lady's raincoat, handkerchief, gloves, pocketbook and combs were the only things found and they were surreptitiously removed during the day. Constable Charles Hehr started a private investigation, using the license number as a basis to work on. When he later found that the number was that of a light delivery car in use about the streets of Buffalo, he found himself up against a stone wall, so he patiently guarded the car until Mr; Butler turned up. Mr. Butler was very reticent concerning the details of the accident.

He stated that in turning from one side of the road to the other, the car went into a ditch and overturned, sliding along for some distance. The names of the members of the party he would not divulge. At his home last night neither he nor his brother would state who was hurt or how seriously. FIVE RESCUED. Children Carried From Burning Barn and Home By Pedestrian and Policeman.

A patrolman and a pedestrian figured as heroes in the rescue of five children in two flres last evening. About 8 o'clock three children, at play In a barn at 180 Ashley street, started a fire in an old stove. Sparks Ignited waste and rubbish on the floor, and the children, alarmed at what tbey had done, worked so bard to smother the flames that they did not try to leave until their escape had been- cut off. Then they screamed and a pedestrian ran through the smoke and carried them to safety. Then he turned In an alarm of fire and walked away.

When firemen arrived flames had communicated to a two-story frame building at 78 Qutnoy street, owned by Mrs. Anna Bureszewskl, but the damage there was slight. Peter Ipnotowskt, a grocer, owns the barn. The fire damage amounted to 300.
