Dr. Charles A. Ellwood rose to Ills

noun to denounce the pilier of Colum
bia 3s aiding liical bootleggers.
Tlie jiolicr of Columbia, according to
Dot lor I'llwood, are permitting tlie

to report the Work of her committee. She
protested against the drinking and
gambling which irhe said was being car
ried on in llapp Hollow. She asked
Out ome action lie taken by the welfare

polue of tins town are in league with
the bccllegjers and are aiding in bring

The conditions of drinking on the Uni
versity campu are deplorable. At a
public dance held last Friday night,
there were twenty men who had been
cricking."
Doctor Ellwood said after the meeting,
"I did not mean, of coure, that the po
lice are openly aiding the bootleggers to
bring liquor into Odumbia; they are
aiding b) closing their ejes to the fact
that it i being done, winking at the law
breaking." Doctor Ellwood 'aid that something
should be done to stop the sale of intox
icating liquor, but added tfiat he did not
consider it the business of the welfare
society to push the investigation.
No action was taken. Frank Rollins
president of the welfare society, is also
chairman f th police committee of tho
Cty Council. He said that certainly he
had not known if the police of Colum
bia were carrying on liquor traffic He
and John T. McMullan. a member of the

made.
After the discussion of the drinking in

Attendance.
Junior Farmers Week, which closed
Saturday, had an attendance of more
than 400. Fewer than 250 came by rail
last year, which made it impossible for
those attending the conference to receive
the one-half return railroad rate which
was given this year. Last year was the
first time that the Junior Farmers "Week
was not given in connection with the
adult Farmers Week.
According to R. L. Waddell of the
Agricultural extension service, the voca

gave more comprehensive reasons for
their decisions in stock judging than is
customary of boys of that age. Besides
the judging contests the boys were given
a trip through the various departments
of agriculture with competent guides.
j which gave them an opportunity to see

Miss Louise Stanley, chairman of the

GORDON SAYS
)CITY REFUSE
f IS A MENACE
Council Discusses Purchase of
Incinerator Plat for
Kuhlman Court
Accepted.
GARAGE PERMIT GIVEN
More's Station Will Have City
Water Residents to Pay
' for Meter and Pipe
Laying-
The problem of disposing of the me
nace arising from the admitted inade
quate methods of garbage removal in the
city was discussed by the City Council
at its regular meeting last night.
The discussion was brought about by
a letter from W. A. Norris health com
missioner, in a report on insanitary condi
tions said to exist in places where gar
bage has been deposited one place in par
ticular giving the most offense being the
lot north of the Fairgrounds where resi
dents have been making a practice of
throwing refuse. Tlie police were author
ized by the council to correct these con
ditions.
Although nothing definite has been de
cided upon to alter conditions Mayor
Cordon said that the haphazard way of
disposing of city garbage must, sooner
or later, come to an end. Columbia, it
was agreed, needs some system whereby
refuse can be systematically removed, at
the expense of the city, if need be. The
public dump southwest of the city, ac
cording to the report of Chief of Police
Rowland, is not used to any great extent,
the reason evidently being because a fee
of $1 is charged for the use of the
grounds. This he explained, causes oth
er places to be used.
The installation of a city incinerator.
to cost approximately $20,000, to dis
pose of such refuse as cannot be fed to
hog9 or cattle, was seriously considered,
and may be an accomplished thing in the
future.
IiEW RESIDENCES PLANNED
The council approved and accepted
the plat to be known as "The Court of
A. F. Kuhlman," comprising part of the
old Dozier Stone property, fronting on
Conley avenue, and extending along Al
len Place to Rollins street. Twenty-one
residences are to b- erected on this "prop
erty, five of which are to be built soon.
W. S. Biskett, representing residents
of More's Station northeast of the city.
placed before the council a request for a
water main to supply that district with
city water. It is to be connected with
the city water main. The residents have
agreed to pay for and install a water
meter, and will defray the expenses of
laying the 2 inch pipe line. Tlie request
was granted.
J. M. Hughes of the Hughes Furniture
Co, asked the council for permission to
erect a garage on Walnut street between
Ninth and Tenth streets in which to
keep the company's two trucks. His re
quest was granted on condition that, in
erecting the garage, he follow the city
ordinance allowing only stone, brick, or
metal parages to be built. He had stated
he desired the walls to be of frame.
The foundations of the new scale
which the city is installing on Ash
street have been laid, but the Howe
Scale Co., from which the scale was or
dered, has delayed in sending the scale.
Councilman McQuitty was authorized to
ask the company to speed up the work on
getting the scale in condition for oper
ation. SEWER WORK TROGRESSIVC
Work on the new sewage disposal
plant southwest of the city is progressing
favorably, according to Orville A. Smith,
plant engineer, who reported to the
council that the new basins for treating
sewage were practically complete. The
work was expected to be finished by the
first week in December, he said. Work
on the Bear Creek and La Grange sewer
lines is progressing, the Hinkson and
Happy Hollow lines being already in
good working order.
A request of the Cecil F. Crane Tire
and Vulcanizing Co, Ninth and Walnut
streets, that they be permitted to in
stall a new gasoline filling tank on
Ninth street in place of the old one, was
refused. The council agreed that it
would permit the company to erect one
on Walnut street, but staled that traffic
would be hindered by automobiles stop
ping for gasoline on Ninth street.
The sum of $21,615 was appropriated
from the water and light fund, $69.98
from the Conley poor fund, $4,586.65
from the general revenue fund, and $8,
653.89 from the sewer and disposal
plant fund to defray expenses of the
past month.

Heaviest Voting Expected at 4
Uiird Ward Turned
j Over to Absentee
Voters.
MUCH SCRATCHING DONE
Nearly Every 'County in Mis
souri Represented Today
Straight "-Tickets
Being Voted.
Columbia is casting the largest vote in
its lii'torr today. At 3:30 o'clock tldsl
afternoon 2941 votes had been nut in the
Iiallut boves. the vote by precincts:
lirst precinct 961 ioXes
Second precinct 924
Fourth precinct 1,059
The heaviest voting of the day was ex
pected after 4 o'clock.
Abcut 60 per cent of the votes at the
courthouse wcre women, ft was rumored
that the women were voting strongly for
Brewster. Mrs. Moss was reported to
be runnini ahead of the Democratic tick
et. However, no one pretended to have
verification for this.
The third ward had been turned over
to absentee voters, this room being thei
busiest place in the courthouse. Ballots!
representing nearly every county in Mis
souri have been turned in.
It is said that more ballot scratching
in Columbia is being done than ever
before, but information from the county
precincts snows that a great many
straight tickets are being voted, also.
With only a few hours remaining to
decide one of the bitterest political
fights in recent years, local voters
showed their interest by thronging the
four voting places. There was congestion
behind the ropes stretched to admit only
a few at a time to the tables.
Outside, beyond the 100-foot, zone de
fined in the election laws, an automo
bile, bearing a League of Loyal Demo
crats placard, supported a framed cab
inet sized portrait of Woodrow Wilson,
a mute appeal to the supporters of the
former president whom the Democratic
Senatorial nominee has repeatedly re
pudiated. Inside, Republicans wore smiles of
satisfaction at evidence of Democratic
-jj-jchiiij.
In answer to inquiries for predictions
from the election clerks, all answered
that scratching seemed the order of the
day and that it was most popular
among the women.
No indication as to the probable re
sults of the Moss-Roach race could be ob
tained late this afternoon.
Many students voted. The majority
of them.cast absentee ballots. Only those
residing here using the official ballot.
The Loyal Democrats used a motor
car bearing the sign: "He Fought U;
We Repudiate Him Now."
A man, 75 years old, w!k voted in the
second ward today, said it was the first
lime in his life he had voted for a Re
publican. Tm glad my name isn't very long,"
said one old white-haired lady. "These
poor clerks and judges have enough work
to do without deciphering long names."
The voters were not choicy in the use
of the booths. Walls, chairs, tables,
backs of other voters and, in some in
stances, even the floor were used to
place the ballots on while marking.
"Can you assist me a little?" said
one woman to another. "Well," was the
reply, "I voted this morning and maybe
I can help you some, but you live in the
first ward and I live in the second so I
don't know whether it's allowed or not."
The thirty-two large sheets of paper
covered with heavy bold type, fully ex
plaining each of the proposed amend
ments were almost totally ignored. The
voters either had read them over in the
newspapers or preferred to study only
the condensed explanation on the bal
lots. The crowds entering the polls grew so
large in the middle of the afternoon that
a policeman was stationed at the door
to allow them to enter only in groups,
thus controlling the mass which sur
rounded the clerks' tables at times and
making it a manageable crowd.
The women have the vote and are cer
tainly competent to use it, but they still
like a little made adyice once in a
while. At one time this afternoon there
were twenty-two women working on their
ballots at different places in the polls.
A little uncertainty was evident, how
ever; fourteen of them were receiving
advice from men. evidently relatives.
The women approached the polls in
many different attitudes. Some were
rather aDologetic looking: others meek;
msny looked frankly wondering and cur
ious; still others were triumphantly
haughty. One rather scared-looking
young girl stood around and tried to
look preoccupied for fifteen minutes be-
fnr tiimmnnin? tin enough COUrage to
approach the clerk to ask how to vote,

SEWAGE PLANT IS MODERN
Planned For a City of 12,000 To
Be Completed January I.
Work upon the new $90,000 sewage
treatment plant for Columbia is pro
gressing favorably, according to Dean
E. J. McCaustland, who has made the
plans and is supervising the construction.
The plant was planned for a city of
12.000 people, and consists of an Imhoff
septic tank, a spring filter, a secondary
settling tank, and sludge drying beds.
The work and purpose of the plant is
to convert the organic matter of the sew
age into inorganic matter, and thereby
relieve the public of a long prevailing
nuisance such as the old svstem afford
ed. The original plan was to hate the
work completed by October 1, but due lo
the lack of materials and other facilities,
it will be January 1 before the project
is finished.
The concrete work is expected to be
finished within a week or two.

WEATHER DECIDES ELECTION
Kansas Farmers' Vote Depends on
Roads and Crops.
By United Preu.
Topeka, Kan., Nov. 7. Political ob
servers looked to the weather today to
decide one of Kansas' closest elections.
With the fanners holding the "bal
ance of power" the election was expect
ed to be decided by whether roads and
crop conditions permit the rural vote
to make its force felt.
Taxation was the paramount issue, al
though the soldier bonus was certain
m attract large numbers to the ballot
boxes and labor was counted on to turn
out and register its verdict on the in
dustrial court law.
W. Y. Morgan, Republican, and Jon
athan M. Davis, Democrat, although
claiming victory, frankly admitted that
the result would be close. The political
situation was so uncertain, party lead
ers were unwilling to predict whether
the heads of the ticket would carry other
candidates with them.
Three congressional seats were being
bitterly fought over and the attorney-
generalship and justices of the stale
supreme court portions one and two
were in close races.
