All three boxcs-nie fiom divisions in
the First wnrd, n Vnre stronghold. The
1 three divisions nre the thirteenth, four
teenth and twenty-first.
In one Instance thnt of the twentv
first, division the box was ordered
opened nfter John II. K. Scott, repre
senting Judge Patterson. Jind presented
a petition signed by three voters, as the
' new law requires, demnnding thnt the I
box be opened. He charged there are
forty-seven spoiled ballots in the box.
In the cases of the thirteenth and
fourteenth divisions the order was made
byMudge. Audenried. In the thirteenth
it was because of charges of irregularity
made by a Moore watcher; in the four
leenth because no returns had been
made of non-partisan voting.
Three Divisions' Itelurns Missing
One of the sensational developments
of the,j day was the revelation that no
returns whatever had been made from
three divisions. These were the third
of the Elehth ward. I he thirtieth of

The, testimony In this case was full f
of 'surprises, It was here that forty- j
and Saturday Judge Audenried ordered
the election officers of the division to
appear today nnd explain how this
happened.
jbharles Clark, sixty -one jcars old,
aatl emplojed as a night watchman,
wa's'tlie, -election judge.
"Who spoiled these ballots?" de
manded Judge Audenried.
"The voters," Clark answered.
"It is most unusual, most remark -;
able," commented Judge Audenried,
"that so many ballots should have been
spoiled."
Vare leader Switches
Clark explained that a voter would
spoil a ballot, return it nnd ask for a
fresh one. It develop that Tom O'Con
nor, Vare leader in the division which
normally turns out strongly for Vare
had switched for Moore.
Mr. Scott cross-questioned the judge
of elections.
"Isn't it true," demanded Mr, Scojt,
" "that every one- of the election officers
Was. a Moore man?"
"I was the only one that otc.d for
Judge rattcrson," nnswered tho gray
haired election judge.
"Then I'll bet Tom O'Connor didn't
know it," snapped Scott.
Former Judge James-' Ony (Sordnn,
senior counsel for the Moore rampaign
Committee, made merry over ('lark's
answer to the opposing nttorncj's ques
tion.
The returns from this division showed i
rns
B Jli
that Moore .Tiad received KM votes to
thirty-six cast for Patterson
At this point Mr. Scott presented the I
rtgular petition, signed by three citizens
of the division, demanding that, the bal
lot box be opened. This request was
granted by the judges.
Hnrlett Ises Voles
James M. Ha7.1ett. Organization can
didate" for recorder of deeds, lost twenty
votes when the official count vvns taken
pf the fourteenth division of the First
ward, where the ballot box also was or
dered .opened.
Hnrlett had 131 votes on the oflicinl
count. He had been credited witj. 154.
Thli was becnuse Ihe "IV ' had beeiH
written to look like a live, and in trnn
'ecrlblDg the vote for the unofficial count
a mistake had been made.
The election board of thin division
alio appeared before the judges this
afternoon, in answer to a summons tor

"The rcturna-'from this division are
the worst we have seen so far," said
! judge, Audenried, "I notice most of

said to the officials, "I want to giv'e
you a word of kindly admonition to

into a muddle' like this ngaln there will
be a shaking of dead bones."
The judges thereupon dismissed the

Steel Stocks Not Perceptibly Affected
by Walkout
New Y01U. Sept. 22. (Hy A. P.)
The steel strike, exerted little adverse
influence over the stock market at the
opening of today's trading. Steel
shares were least disturbed of any Im
portant Issiics, opening mostly nt gains
which extended from half a point in U.
S. Steel to one point in Ilethlehem and
three for Crucible. Reactions in the
first half hour cancelled most of these
gains, however.
Stocks dependent upon the stability of
the steel industry, such as equipments,
were steady to fitm. although the motor
group was inclined to yield.
Trading was comparatively small
with no indication of urgent liquida
tion. Commission houses reported very
small offerings fo'r out-of-town aq.

FRESH ATTACKS ON CARS

Tracks Torn Up and Feed Wires
Burned Near Haddon

Immediate suspension of the fare
zone system in New Jersey is advocated
by Camden Citj Council, nnd it will
urge the Public I'tilities Commission to
take such a step tomorrow at a public
hearing in Trenton.
This action by Council and renewal
of the attacks on cars of the Public
Service Railway were the important de
velopments today in the fate zone con
troversy in Camden:
Following instructions from Council
today. City Solicitor K. D. C. Bleak -ley
wired Thomas Mr-Carter, president
of the Public Service Corporation, re
questing him to be present al a hoAVing
before the Public Service Commission
in Trenton nt 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
Mr. McCarter was requested to bring
data showing receipts of the company
in Camden and vicinity for the Inst ten
days.
Mr. nicaklcy, Mayor Kills and mem
bers of the Camden Council, ns well ns
many witnesses, will attend the meet
ing. Cars Attacked in Suburbs
Announcement of Council's decision
to order suspension of the zone system
had barely been made when irports
were received of a renewal of attacks
on trolley ars in the. suburbs.
Members of car crews said that cais
were attacked at Suinmcrdnle, near
Haddon Heights, by hoodlums, The
carmen said many feet of track were
lorn up nqar that point and feed wires
burned.
One crew repotcd that ties were piled
up nn tnc trncks near Haddon Heights
and that one car narrowly escaped being
wrecked.
Prosecutor AVolverton Admitted that
reports of such attacks had been re
ceived, but expressed the belief that
these attacks had been made by boys
and were much exaggerated.
W. H. Crahani, superintendent of the
Public Service Railway Company said
that feed wires were down but said they
must have fallen accidentally. The re
ported attacks hnve added to the unrest
and the prevailing belief is. that the
authorities are endeavoring tn -minimize

Meant as Punishment
According to company officials, this

workers for disorders of the last week.
Woodbury is one of the south Jer
sey towns planning legal proceedings
against the public service company. The
trolley company's franchise calls for a
five-cent fare. The company's failure
to run cars last' week will be made
the basis cj proceedings designed to
revoke the franchise.
A mass-meeting to demand a five

Commerce,
The purpose of the meeting is to
continue the boycott,, on the zone trol

utilities commissioners to 'continue fn
office and to demand a five-cent rate.

284,000 OUT, UNION CLAIMS;
MILLS RUN, SAYS COMPANY
Many Plants Able to Operate,
but Percentage of Workers
Is Disputed '
, The preliminary skirmish in the steel
strike, which began today nnd af
I feels a half-million ware-earners,
i produced the usunl conflicting
claims by both sides.
I In the strategic centers of the strug-
I gle, the Chicago and Pittsburgh
I districts, many thousands of work-
ers obeyed the strike order, but
! icports showed comparatively few
plants had closed. At a large
number of the outlying districts,
officials of smaller plants reported
they were operating as usual.
Heads were clubbed and twenty ar
rests made today when state police
dispersed a strike meeting at)
.Clairton, whore there were riots,
yesteiday.
Sccietary Ko.ster, of the Steel Work
ers' Union, issued a statement ex
picssing satisfaction and claiming
reports from outside the Pitts
burgh district showed the shut
down was genuine. He said 284,
000 men were out.
i Announcement was made by repre
sentatives of the 35,000 employes
of the Bethlehem Steel Company
that these men would not join ihe
strike, pending nn attempt to ob
tain a conference with the com
pany officials.
Some ,iast furnaces in the Pitts-
burgh district were banked, but
the majority of the plants were in
operation, although admittedly
with forces reduced from 15 to OG
per cent.
In the Chicago district, including
Gary and Hammond, where 90,000
steel workeis nie employed, sim
ilar conditions were reported.
At Cleveland the union leaders said
15,000 men were out, and that six
teen mills of the American Steel
and Wire Company, employing
9000 men, vveie closed down. At
Ohio's second greatest steel center,
Youngstown, the strike leaders
said the great majority had struck.
It was asserted all three plants of
the Carnegie Steel Company at
Steubenville had been forced to
suspend.
t the less important points in Ohio
and Pennsylvania, including Ports
mouth, Warren, Canton, Toledo,
Columbus, Lorain, Pottsville,
Reading and Harrisburg, plant
officials announced operations in
full swing. One exception was
Johnstown, Pa., where 12,000 men
were reported to have struck.
Outside the great pivotal states of
Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania,
.... , , 1 !,,
conditions were leported nearly
normal wiin a lew impuruuit e-
ceptions.
The Midvale anil 1'encoyd plants, in
Philndelphia, leport operations
1101 mal, with no reduction of forces
because of the strike.

Ibis morning," said n representative of
