Judge Kunkct's Vote
At a late hour this afternoon John
K. Geyer, who has been one of the
prime movers of the movement for the
nomination of Judge George Kunkel,
announced that he believed from fig
ures then at hand that Juilt?e Kunkel
had been nominated for the State Su
preme Court. Judge Fraser is un
questionably in the lead all over the
state, but the fact that Associated
Press figures give Kunkel a majority
over Endlich in both Philadelphia and
Allegheny counties leads the Kunkel
managers to believe that this favorable
vote will be maintained throughout the
State.
As a general rule the returns of
the primary are unsatisfactory and
throughout the State there is much
speculation as to the result of tlje non
partisan primary for supreme and su
perior court judges, and fears are en
tertained that it may be forty-eight
hours before reliable figures can be
secured. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
newspapers as well as the Associated
Press and other press asociation have
been making strenuous efforts to ob
tain figures from county seats, but in
many instances it has been found that
the returns entered are so incomplete
that anything like un accurate esti
mate is impossible.
It. is apparent from what can be
procured from official sources that
Judge Kunkel has carried a number
of counties in this part of the State
and done well in others. Philadelphia
and Allegheny counties give majorities
for Kunkel and Fraser. Unofficial re
turns say that in the Quaker City
Judge Kunkel received 14,554 votes,
Fraser 42,923 and Endlich 14,069. In
562 districts out of 696 in Allegheny
county Fraser got 58,201, Kunkel
3,341 and Endlich 2,133.
Kunkel Committee Confident
Judge Kunkel's campaign manag
ers said this afternoon that reliable
information from' Pittsburgh indicated
that he would carry Allegheny county
by a majority even larger than is in
dicated by the Associated Press re
iv.rts. Messages have been received
indicating that Kunkel has carried
Jefferson county by 600; Perry by
1,200; Cumberland by 2,000; Franklin
by 500, Adams by 1.000 and has also
carried Tioga and Fulton. Lebanon
county will give him as many as Cum
berland an 1 Incomplete returns are to
the effect that he is running well in
the northern tier. The Kunkel com
mittee concedes that Judge Endlich
is running very strong in Berks and
some of the nearby counties, but that
his strength is not nearly as great :is
claimed in the anthracite counties and
that his big majorities at home will be

The Kunkel campaign managers
were confident this afternoon that
Judge Kunkel would win out over
Endlich by a substantial majority.
Democrats in Despair.
Enough returns are in hand to show
that Senator Boles Penrose has been
renominated for United States Senator
by anywhere from 170.000 to ISO,OOO
majority over J.Benjamin Dimmick. In
Philadelphia the senator got over
80,00 votes and Dimmick but 10,900,
and he carried all but a few counties.
Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh triumphed
over Mayor Joseph Caufflel, of Johns
town, his nearest rivay by over 200,000
majority. The Republican majority
are enormous anci their very size
caused despair among the partisans of
Vance C. McCormick who are rejoic
ing over a claimed majority of 25,000
over Michael J. Ryan for the Demo
cratic nomination for governor. The
Democracy of Pennsylvania has
passed through the most bitter pri
mary campaign ever known in its his
tory and the wounds will not be heal
ed for years. The "united Democ
racy" for which the successful candi
date pleaded early this morning is in
the years unborn. AVilliam Draper
Lewis will lead the forlorn hope of the
AVashington party, whose collapse is
one of the most remarkable of the
many remarkable events in recent
political history.

this afternoon said that Allegheny
county would give a small majority
for McCormick and added a few more
counties to the list. ,

ties were heard from and that MeCor

ticket.
Late reports from Allegheny county
showed 16,000 majority for Penrose
and about 20,000 for Brumbaugh.
Kyfln men claimed to have carried it
and so did the McCormlck men.
* Till: HESILTS IX DACPHIX".
As it will take days to compile the
returns for the state at large and to
show the exact votes for the men who
submitted their candidacies to the.
electorate of Pennsylvania at the first
primary, only estimates can be made.
In Philadelphia the Republican state
headquarters does not expect to be able
to say much for a couple of days and
the best that could be said at Demo
cratic state headquarters was that
McCormlck had. carried fifty counties
and Palmer all, with most of the slate
safe.

In Dauphin county are of much Inter

enough to change any results.

FIGHT KEPT UP MANY DAYS
Strange Story of Love and War Is
Being Investigated To-day
by Wireless
By Associated Press
New Orleans, La.. May 20. —Tho
United Fruit Company to-day was us
ing its wireless in an effort to confirm
a strange story of a race riot reported
to have occurred on one of its planta
tions in Guatemala in which it is said
sixty-four negroes and probably 100
Indians were killed.
| Smoldering race hatred of the na
tive Indians for negroes inflamed by
one of the negroes winning the In
dian girl, Nazada, from her father at
dice and his refusal to sell her back
to a native, is reported to be the cause
of the trouble. The story came to
New Orleans by mail.
The negro, Clarence Williams, had
been working on the Tcuahuena farm,
one of a number of plantations the
United Fruit Company operates in the
Mantagua river district, according to
the story, he had incurred the hatred
of many of the Indians because of his
prowess with dice. In a game re
cently which Nazada's father partici
pated lie won all the old peon's money
and then, Guatemalan fashion, the old
man wagered his daughter. He lost.
As is customary among these Indians,
the girl did not object to her part of
the transaction and was taken to the
shanty of the American negro.
Half-breed I/oved Her
AH the story goes. Chrlstofo Zurello,
a half-breed boss of a neighboring
farm, had wanted Nazada as a wife
for his son arid was incensed when he
learned that she had become the prop
erty of the negro. According to
Guatemalan Indian custom the father
of the girl was eliminated from the
matter by his unlucky cast of the dice
st) Zurello entered into negotiations
with the negro, lie offered his thirty
pesos for the girl. The negro refused.
Soon after Williams left for his work.
Saturday, May 9. three men appeared
at the shanty. It is said they were.
I Zurello. a peon named Pedro and
half breed. Williams had occasion to
go to the shanty a few hours later.
Tied to a nearby tree was his Indian
[ girl mutilated with knives. Just be-
I fore she died she told him who had
assailed her. Arming himself Wil

What more intimate friend of

It is consulted by all. It is

Is it to be wondered that the
advertising: in a good newspaper
like the Telegraph produces great
results?
The advertisers come to tho
general public with the introduc
tion of a friend to help them.
They urn given respectful at
tention and tho results they se
cure art largely due to the repu

which they have ■"pleaded their
cause.
We do not admit undesirable

of this newspaper because as
