FOUR JURISTS TALK, Judge Kennedy Payors Liberal Construction of the Baker Law. a COMMON SENSE TO RULE. Only the Official Ballot Is Legal Ac cording to the Others. A DEFENSE MADE BY JUDGE MAGEE HocoraWe Mr. Ewing Condemns the New Toting: System as Absurd. HE BEES KO EEUEDI FOE TOE MUDDLE Ths Eater ballot muddle continues to be the chief subject of discussion among voters in these eiciting times. For the present the campaign hurrahing and the burning of red fire have been pushed into the back ground, for what- does it accom plish, people anrue, to waste strength, beating the air? If citizens trill be unable to vote through no fault of their own, they want to know it in time. Every body is hoping for the best, and all aree that the timely agitation can do no harm. It is apparent that some features of the law should be changed, and it is well to have them discussed. Some of the county jdges were inter viewed about the voting complications yes terday. Kone of them had any remedy to suggest. Judge Ewmg was one of the first seen. He had just finished the job of making a lot of citizens, and was very will ing to talk. "I Laven't read the Baker ballot law," he said, "and I den't intend to go over it until I am compelled to in the trial ot a cae that may come before me under the ret. A Difficult law to Learn. "The law is so complicat.d and cumber some that I am proud of my record. I have been picking up information about it irom other people, and between now and the election I will try to learn how to vote. The law is absurd. I have al ways said that you can't substitute honesty and virtue in voters and election boards through legal machinery. I don't blame the Legislature for passing the act. The members were working under pressure, and they tried to meet a popular clamor lor re form in voting. 2fow we have the re form, and what is it? a compli cated work that nobody seems to uuder stand. The best kind of election law is the simplest, one that is easily understood by the masses. A lew simple safeguards should be put around tue polls, and that is all that can be done. For the rest we must depend on the honesty of the voters. You can't make people virtuous by legislative enactments. Tricky men will continue to be full of expedients to ciicnmvent th-law in spite of the Legislature. If this kind of ballot reform keeps up there won't be enough taxes raised to pay the expense ot elections. Some impractical people filled with the idea that imaginary frauds existed and should be rectified are responsible for the complication." "But suppose the supply of ballots on election day is not sufficient, what then?" "Indeed, I don't know. If I went to the polls and found none of the official ballots there I would prepare one, and offer it to the board." Can't Blame the Election Bosnia. - ,rWTiat if it was refused. "Would you indict the board?" "I don't know what I would do. You can't blame an election board for observing the requirements of the law. If a board was indicted, this would bring the question before the courts, but I don't believe pny election officer would be found guilty under the circumstances named certainly no judge would sentence a board." "Would the courts sustain the ballot mentioned, if the intention is cleai?" "I don't know. That would have to be decided. I think courts would adhere to the election law unless it was declared un constitutional." "Wouldn't judges be liberal in their in terpretations of the- law in view of the facts?" "I don't see how judges can get away Irom the law. They are guid ed in their opinions by it. I can see no remedy, and if voters are disfran chised, it is because of a bad election act. Kothing remains to be done but to make the best ot the Baker law. Governor Pat tison would not be justified in calling an extra session of the Legislature. But the time is too short." HO SAMPLE BALLOT YET, But the Commissioners Will Take Chances In Letting the Contract. The County Commissioners are still wait ing for the .official notice about the size of the ballot Mr. Mercer thinks he is justi fied in making arrangements for the print ing of the county tickets on the basis that the size wili be 52 inches by 22. He thinks if the official sample ballot does not arrive by to-morrow room can be left on the ticket for the names of all the candidates. He does not believe this would be a violation of the spirit of the law, though the act stipulates that the ballots must be uniform. It is ab solutely necessary for the printers to notify the paper manufacturers to-morrow. Mr. Mercer is not afraid that the Allegheny oters will be without tickets on election dsr. He says he will have them printed aud distributed on time, but he thinks commissioners from the interior counties who wait until the last minute will be sadly left The Commissioners have purchased 725 booths and 2,009 annexes. There are 440 election district. An annex must be pro vided lor every 50 voters or fractional part thereof. Pittsburg will require 244 booths anil 674 annexes. Allegheny 132 booths and 401 annexes, boroughs 80 booths and 255 an nexes, and 19G booths aud 515 annexes for the townships. LET COMMON SENSE BULB. viil o Kennedy Believes in a Liberal In terpretation of the Law. Judre Kennedy read the act shortly a'ter it became a law, but he said he had lorgotten most of the provisions. He thought 'if the law worked to the dis franchisement of voters that tho courts vould be very liberal in the interpretation of th act in cases where citizens had voted or offered a ticket of their own manu facture. "This ma7 not be strict law," continued the Jude, "but it is common sense. It was never contemplated that voters should be disiranchtsed bv statute. It is a right that belongs to all men under the Constitution, iin I the latter would be considered first I Lad no idea the machinery ot the Baker law v ould be so complicated. The lejral questions involved I am not prepared to discuss now. I must study the law in detail. I remember when I first went over the act I was im pressed with its intricacy. A number of the provisions I did not "like. I expect a great man v mistakes will be made in vot ing, but if lawsuits arise in consequence the intent should be considered. I hardly 4-A1' think it would be fair to throw out votes because citizens had blundered a little in making the marks. I realize that it will be difficult for the print ers to comply with the requirements, but every effort should be put forth to have the ballots ready. The disfranchisement of voters would result in a revolution. The people would not stand it under any cir cumstances." FAITH IN THE LAW. Judge JIagen Says Too Much Fuss la Being Slaile Over the Baker Ballot Act He Claims the System Is All Right Judge Magee thinks too much fuss is be ing made about the law aud he says voters will have all the ballots they want on elec tion day. He believes the printers cau issue them on time and in abundance. "A great many people," he began, "are doing all they possibly can to belittle the Baker act They don't want to see an election system intro duced in this State that has proved a suc cess and protection to voters elsewhere. I know many would like to have the act re pealed, and they are raising a hue aud cry against it I am aware tint the law is not perfect, but it has many good features. AVe will learn by experience and detects csn be remedied. I do not believe for one moment that any voter will be disfranchised as a re sult of the law, and you will see that all the difficulties in the way now will be removed. It wouldn't do to lme the tickets printed months in advance and scattered all over the country. This is one ot the features I like. Possesses Some Excellent Features. "The preparation of the ballot and the safeguards thrown around it are also excel lent ideas. This law -will effectu ally put a stop to fraudulent voting, and I know some people won't like that, Xo more will workers put a prepared ballot in the voter's hand, then lead him to the polls and hold a club over him until he deposits the ticket. It was to stop this practice that the law was passed in response to a popular demand for honest elections. "I don't expect the law to work smoothly this time. The people must be taught, and in the future what seems lite n great com plication now will be very simple. Talk about the scarcity of ballots. Why, I have been in wards olten where such a thing as a Democratic ticket could not be found. To be sure, I never missed my vote on that account Xo Advantage to Either Party. "The Baker law is as fair for one side as the other, and no advantage is given to either party. Admitting, liowever, that the tickets can't be printed, then the re sult would be very serious. Every man has the right to ote, and When a law comes into couflict with any of the principles of the Constitution, it will fall, but that must be determined bv the courts. Under the old system nothing was specified about the kind of ticket to be used, and a voter could write the name of his candidates on a sheet of paper, if he saw fit The Baker law prescribes how the ticket must be prepared, and, of course, courts would in sist on these requirements being carried out But, frankly, I am not worried about the supply of paper in the country, or the impossibility of having the tickets printed. I want to see the law thoroughly tried. Let the people give the act a chance, and I will guarantee the result will be sat isfactory." TICKETS MUST BE OFFICIAL. Judge McClnng Thinks Only Kegnlar Bal lots Will Be Sustained. Judge McClung was not inclined to talk at first, but he admitted if the situation is as bad as reported that it is a serious affair. 'This is a queer law," he said, "it is so in tricate and complicated. I suppose I will have some trouble in cast in? my vote. If the people want such a law, a skilled lawyer should be hired to go into the booth with every man to guide him in the preparation of the ballot Tbo practical end of the law was over looked. The svstem is a rood one, but the original bill was plastered over with amendments offered by people who" had no no idea of the luture consequences. This act is a fault of bur system of making laws. I can see no remedy except to have the ballots printed if possible. The trouble now is that it is a business problem. The law in itself may be all right and not impossible. Because some provisions of an act are difficult to carry out would not in itself render the law invalid. Even if voters are disfranchised owing to the inability of the print ers to turn out the ballots, I am not prepared to say that that would make the Baker law unconstitutional. As for voters making their own tickets where the official ballots are missincr, I do not thiuk this is allowable, or would be sustained by the courts. The law specifies how the tickets should be fixed, and nothing is left for a judge to do but to follow the law. I feel positive that no other ticket except the official one will be held legal. The best remedy is the amendment or repeal of tte act." EKEKNEN IS TJNCEETAIN. He Believes the Legislature Has Xo Power to Disfranchise Voters. Chairman Brennen, of the Democratic County Committee, hesitates to talk on the subject of the Baker ballot. He admits that the people are greatly confused and bewildered in the matter. He is hopeful, however, that some intelligent light will be thrown on the subject before election day. "I have great confidence that the courts will sustain the intention of the voters, and' if ballots are not provided it strikes me that a written ballot would be counted. Not even the courts seem to understand the intention or purpose ot the Legislature in riassing the ballot law, and even the Legis lature does not have authority to disfran chise the voters of the State, and, therefore, the intention of the voter must be accepted. "That, however, is only one view of the case. I hold that the law after being estab lished ami declared constitutional is su preme. I am hopeful that we will be able to get the puzzle worked out in time to get ont our tickets. There is one thine certain, neither party will benefit mueh by the con fusion that surrounds the Baker ballot sys tem." ALL WILL GET A VOTE, Chairman Gripp Says There Will Be Plenty of Ballots In This County. Magistrate Gripp, Chairman of the Be pubKcan County Committee, says there is no doubt that ballots will be lurnished to every voter in Allegheny county, no matter what difficulty is experi enced in the other counties of the State. "We have been in consultation with one or two Pittsburg 'printers, and they have encouraged us to believe that they can do all the work in plenty of time to give our people a vote. "Mr. Harrity is responsible for all the contusion about the ballot law. He should attend to his duties in Harrisburg, where he and the Attorney-General could reach some conclusion. It looks much like a scheme to attract the attention of politicians to Pennsvlvania ana Keep them out of other States." "The ballot law must stand. It has stood the test of the Supreme Court, and it must stand the test of the people before the Leg islature can even attempt to alter it No, sir," Judge Gripp concluded, "all this con fusion will be cleared up before election day.?' No Need for the Battles. Attorney James S. Young remarked that voters should not be rattled by all the talk of a scarcity of ballots. He adds that the people should hang on to the good features and eliminate the bad ones. A great move has been made toward securing honest elec tions, and citizens would be foolish to give up all that has been accomplished in this direction. - nTT1I OkXJ.-Ui BUSY LITTLE FINGERS Being Educated to lhev Use of Thim ble, Needle and Thread. TRAINING A LEFT-HANDED CLAS8. First Session of the Girls' Industrial School yesterday. TEACHING CHILDREN TO SATE M0NEI The first session of the Girls' Industrial School eonnected with the Fourth V. P. Church, corner Montgomery avenue and Arch street, Allegheny, was held yester day afternoon. This is the eighth year df this institution's existence. One of the features of the opening session was the in stallation of Mrs. Jean L. Williams as Su perintendent ' Mrv "Williams occupies the position which Mrs. N. "W. Stevenson held successfully for the past seven years. The purpose of this school is to teach children who have no opportunities at home how to sew. It is the only graded sewing school in the country. The officers who act with the Superintendent are: Miss May Monroe, Cashier; Miss Anna Yincent, Treasurer, and Miss Jessie Mc Naugher, Secretary. The school consists of an average of 280 pupils, divided into 30 classes, each class being provided with a teacher. This year the number of ladies who responded to the call is below the average. As the school is constantly in creasing the officers are very desirous that any one who 'can will offer their services. It is not a severe task, as the school meets but once a week, Saturday. Testing the Tw Pupil's Ability. The school is organized on a systematic basis. When a pupil makes application she is taken into a large room, where the church's city missionary, Mr. Kelson, ex amines them, asking their names, residences, etc She is then given needle, thread and a piece of cloth and is told to sew. After the inspectors examine the work done they assign her to one of the four grades accord ing to the knowledge she displays in her work. In the room yesterday there were f-ome 20 little tots working away like busy bees. Not every child is taken. If upon exam ination it is'iound a child has opportunities to learn at home, she is refused admittance. One of the great difficulties the teachers have to contend with is that nearly all the new scholars workleft-hauded. There were so manv left-handed pupils who could not be induced or taught to work with their other hand that a class for left-handed scholars was formed last year, with a le'ft-handed teacher. Left-handed teachers are very hard to obtain. The work of the different grades is out lined as follows: Grade No 1. natchwork and hemming towels; grade 2, garments with straight seams, kitchen aprons, skirts, pillow slips, hemming napkins and hand kerchiefs; grade 3, garments with bias seams, sleeve aprons, underwear and night dresses; grade 4, finishing and cutting gar ments, button holes, darnine, patching, etc Baying Their Own Work at Cost A pupil is kept in a grade until she has become proficient in the work required of her. The scholars have the privilege of buying their work at the cost of the mate rial. Outsiders have to pay a percentage. In order to encourage prompt attendance a ticket having a scriptural verse is given to every scholar who is in her place when the bell tops for the opening. Bach of these tickets is equal to a penny in purchasing work. In other words, a garment worth 20 cents could be bought for 20 tickets. Aside from the future of a sewing school, the ladies have introdueed a penny savings bank system for the little ones. It is run the same as any savings bank except no in terest is paid. The largest deposit which ever OlDUll tu uckicum u. uuc pupii AH " V term was $13. Money may be withdrawn upon two weeks' notice, but as a rule, very little is taken out before Christmas. The bank has a large number of depositors who brin at every session what money they save dnring the week amounting from 1 cent to a dollar. A Pressing Need for Money. The school, although under the auspices of the.Fourth TJ. P. Church, gets most of its snpport Irom outside workers. Money is raised by concerts and donations. At present the school is in need of funds, being jnst in the beginning of the session. Many schools of this kind have been or ganized, but nearly all of them have failed. This ib perhaps the strongest and best regu lated industrial school in the country. The great success of the institution is due to the earnestness with which theeachers enter into their work. The retirement of Mrs. Stevenson from the active manage ment was regretted by alL Mrs. Steven son's outside charity work occupies so much of her time that she" found it necessary to give up some of the many worthy works with which she is connected. .t.-J Aa .1.1. .hJ1 F Jim.

The Allegheny sub-Committee on Public Works will hold a meeting on Tuesday evening for the purpose of suggesting names for its duplicate streets of the city, and preparing a report to be presented to the general committee at its next meeting. City Engineer Swan said yesterday after noon that it was surprising how many du plicate streets avenues and alleys there are in the city of Allegheny. For instance, there are 5 streets and 3 alleys named Short, 3 streets, 1 avenue and 2 alleys named Sprint, S streets and 2 alleys named Vine, 4 streets and 1 alley named Hill, 3 streets, 2 avenues and 1 alley named Center, 4 streets named Ann, and so on. Mr. Swan said the reason of these duplications is that when the boroughs of Manchester, Duquesne and others were taken into the city of Allegheny the names of the street! were retained. Tuesday night's meeting is for the pnrpose of giving these duplicate streets, avenues and alleys new names, and hereafter no two streets, avenues nor alleys will have the same name. A CONTESTED ELECTION. The Epworth League Fight to Be Decided by Higher Authorities. The Epworth League election, which caused considerable excitement at the Smithfield Street M. E. Church Friday night, is to be carried up lor the decision of Bishop Fitzgerald, the President of the National League. Those who ore protesting claim that the names ot persons not mem bers were placed on the rolls, aud are par ticularly aroused by the fact that President Cooper was re-elected under his own ruling, by a retiring cabinet which was already out of office. This was due, it is claimed, by a strained decision of the President based on a new constitution which has been adopted by the general conference but not yet approved by the League. The objectors, who are the young working members of the society, want to control it themselves, and not be under the dictation of outsiders. BETJHI0N OF CAVALEY.

SnWTlAY . nnTTTRTCK ". 0' ; t - - WAKINGTHEWORKERS Local Eepublican Managers Infusing Life Into the Campaign. SEVERAL HARD FIGHTS ON HAND. County Committeemen Criticized for Their Kegllgence. EFFECT OF TflE BAKER B1U0T BILL At the meeting of the Eepublican County Committee yesterday afternoon there was no business to transact except to enthuse the committeemen, but in response to pressing appeals sent out by the local party man agers there was an attendance which filled Select Council Chamber to overflowing. It was a remarkable thing in the Eepublican party's local history that the only thing done in the meeting was the reading of a list of 55 out of the more than 400 election districts in the county which have as yet failed to report an organization for the campaign. Chairman Gripp, in reading oyer this list, commented somewhat severely ,on the negligence of the committeemen in those districts, urging them to report at once to the Organization Committee. ".As a result of this negligence we don't know where we stand," continued the Chairman. "Our success depends largely on the woik of our district organizations. In the Twenty-fourth Congressional and the Forty-fifth Senatorial districts our candi dates have a hard fight on hand, owing to the numerous candidates. -, Tline to Get to Work. "While I have no fear of defeat in either of those districts, it is incumbent on every man to make an effort such as they never made before to keep up the Eepublican ma jority." As Chairman of the Committee on Organ ization, A. C. Eobertson took the floor and appealed to the party workers to wake up and pnt some lite into the campaign. Mr. Eobertson during the past two weeks has spent much ot his time going around among the district organizations throughout the county, and n hue in many districts there were unmistakable evidences of activity he found others doing little or nothing. , "The Executive Committee has arranged for voting scnools in various parts of the county," he said, "to teach voters how to get their ballots in on election day. It seems ridiculous that such instruction should be necessary but there is a great danger facing us. "You have all heard of the plans being laid by the Secretary of the Commonwealth and the Attorney General to steal this State in the coming election. They want to get this great Eepublican State into the Democratic colnmn this year by a trick, but thanks to the newspapers it has been shown up in time aud we have a chance to avert it. No Time to Print Ballots. "By his interpretation of the Baker law the State Secretary is arranging so that the counties having Democratic majorities will have their election tickets in plenty of time, but in the Eepublican counties it is intended to hold their tickets back so they can't get them printed in time. "They are making unusal display of campaign work to deceive us as to their in tentions, but we must watch them closely. This is the first year of the Australia'n ballot system in this State. In every other State where it has been tried it has resulted in a tailing off of more than 20 per cent in the vote. Owing to the particularly unde sirable conditions under the law in this State, there is reason to expect asreat and even greater reduction in this State, unless our party gets down to hard work at once. We should cut the loss in Allegheny county down to the minimum and maintain our proud repntation gained four years ago, when we gave President Harrison the largest majority of any county in the - United States, of being the banner Eepublican county in the laud. From my observations during the pat two weeks out among the people I am satisfied the labor troubles will have little detrimental effect on our vote this year. The workingmen have their eyes open to the fact that the Eepublican party is their friend; that it is the only party which ever did anything to help them, and is theonly party which holds ont any substantial inducements to them for the future." Will Beconnt the Ballots. In the matter of the contested election of Herman Bohrkaste, Councilman from the Twenty-fifth ward, an order was made yes terday allowing K. T. Meade, the Commis sioner, to open the ballot boxes and take out for examination the registry list, list of voters and other election papers except the ballots. DO TOD EAT?
