Demerits Via a Sweqiiar Victory
Ike Ckicaye Election
WINS THE FIFTH TIME
Majority ior mrn'r iininauii, i/vmv
cratic Candidate, About Eighteen
Thousand?There Was a Great
Falling Off in the Republican Vote,
While the Democrats Gained.
Carter H. Harrison, mayor of Chicago,
from 1897 until 1905, and son
of Carter H. Harrison, Sr., who occupied
the mayor's office from 1879
to 1887, and was assassinated during
the World's Fair, was elected
mayor for the fifth time Tuesday.
He defeated Charles E. Merriam, his
Republican opponent, by 17,082
votes, gaining a total of 177,358
votes.
lu spite of the opposition of a majority
of the local press, the election
was almost a complete Democratic
victory. Tbo election of Fred Con
and Henrr Stuck
?ci f , cu?
art, for city treasurer, early was
conceded, although a count of their
total vote has not been completed.
The Democratic majority of the city
council has been Increased by a dozen
members.
Prof. Charles E. Merriam, his Republican
opponent, conceded cne
election to'Mr. Harrison at 6:30, two
and a half hours after the polls
closed, but declared that results were
such as would give him hope for an
other campaign. He said:
"I am satisfied with the fight we
have made. We have presented the
issuee of decent, honest, economical
government squarely to the voters in
a way that cannot fail to help conditions.
The battle must be fought
Knf manv Hmor and In the
nut UUV/C( MUV itiuu/ ?
long run it will prove successful. I
congratulate Mr. Harrison on his victory
and wish him well in his administration.
Returns by wards show that Prof.
Merriam was given nearly 7 per cent
less votes than Busse (Republican)
was accorded four years ago, while
Harrison ran over 17 per cent ahead
of the figures attained by Dunne
(Democrat) at that time. The vote
reached above 340,000, which is
about 25,000 more than the record
at the same time in the last mayoralty
contest. In spite of this both '
sides agreed that Merriam lost '
through failure of the "silk stocking"
wards to show the strength ex- 1
pected. '
Even In the twenty-fifth ward, J
where Merrlam's candidacy was con- (
ceived, failure of Merriam supporters
to vote caused the professor's total to e
drop far below what had been expect- 1
ed. Harrison announced as soon as
this ward had been reported that he *
had won and prepared a statement. *
After this ward had reported the re- v
suit never was in doubt." *=
While the first ward gave up its *
usual Democratic plurality, it was (
not alone from this, and the river v
wards of similar character, that Harison
drew his support. His eight a
years' service in the mayor's chair r
drew out many from the ranks his 1
opponent had not counted on, and his v
\ promise of 70-cent gas was said by e
V;i^s managers to have had a great in- 0
with the West Side wards, 1
wher<? he showed unexpected
strength. 8
One of the features of the cam- 8
paign was the vote polled by the So- g
cialist party. Five-sixths of the total
precincts in the first indicated that
the vote would reach 2 4,000, a gain
of 11,000 over the vote of four years \
ago. On the other hand the prohibition
vote dropped to 3,000 this
year, as against 11,000 last year.

In the hurricane and tidal wave
on Sept. 8, 1900, the three-year-old 1
son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wood- 1
eon, of El Dorado, Tex., who wore J
visiting relatives near llolivar, on *
Galveston bay, was swept away when (
the house was carried by the sea in- J
land nearly a mile. A few days ago a ^
traveling salesman heard the story of
the finding of the child in a pasture 1
by a man, who placed the boy in an 1
asylum in San Antonio. The salesman
knew the Woodsons, who have
since moved to Kansas City, and the (
child now nearly 14 years old, was
traced to a family near Fredericksburg,
Tex. The family adopted the
child six years ago.
Identity was established by a gold

GAME DID NOT WORK
PRETENDED CORPSE FAIIiKD TO
MOVE THE OLD MAN.
Young Man Tried to Fool Money Out
of His Father by Pretending to be
Dead.
The Atlanta Journal says Lewis E.
Pohlman, 3 0 years of age, an Atlanta
electrician, who lives at 15
Short street in that city, enjoys the
A# linlnor a vminc trinn
UlSllUCUUll Wl uv'Uf, u / vu?o
whose father won't trust him, eithei
alive or dead. He has tried it both
ways.
Pohlman, who used to bo a soldier
with the 17th regiment at Fort
McPherson, found himself recently
out of funds. He was not in good
standing with his father, a respected
merchant in Harrisville, Pa., ana
knew it would be useless to appeal
for help.
So he decided on a rather startling
plan to soften the father's heart and
loosen his pocketbook. He spent his
last small change to send a Western
Union message, which read as follows:
"E. Pohlman, Harrisville, Pa.:
Your son, Lewis, has just died of
of t h * hnanftal here.
put: uiiiuuK*, uw v.iv ? - -? Please
send $80 to cover expenses for
shipping his remains to you.
(Signed) "A. B. CARNES."
Then he waited an answer. But It
didn't come. Apparently the old gentleman
had little more confidence In
his son dead than he had previously
had for him living. At any rate, Instead
of send the money to "Carnes,"
he got a Harrlsvllle undertaker to
wire Barclay A Brandon to look Into
the case. ,
Lewis Pohlman, pretending to be
"Carnes," got wind of this and went
to Barclay A Brandon. He was
promptly arrested, and confessed to
the whole transaction.
NEGRO TELLS OF MURDER.
Got Mad Because He Was Not Bail
e<l for Selling Boom.
Becoming enraged because his
white "friends" would not pay him '
out of jail when he was arrested for '
selling whiskey In violation of the
state prohibition law, a negro at
Garfield, a station on the Savannah,
Augusta & Northern railway, 25
miles from Statesboro, Ga., told the
officers of a murder said to have been '
committed by a white man named
Mullins in December last. He said
the body of s negro was buried down
in a swamp near Garfield and instructed
the officers to go there and
iig.
Fearing they would not find the '
jxact spot, the officers carried the
legro with them and it is said he
ook them with no difficulty to where
le helped bury the negro. He says
le had no hand in the killing, but the
vhite man made he and another ne
rro bury the corpse. They began '
o dig and in a short while it is said, '
he decomposed body of the negro
^as found.
It is said the negro was killed
ibout the middle of December and
lothing had been heard of it until
he negro was arrested for selling ^
whiskey and his white friends refusd
to come to his rescue, when he beome
"sore" and revealed the secret,
t is understood the sheriff of Email uil
county has been notified and is
earching for the murderer. It is
aid that the accused white man has '
