ELECTION COMMISSION
TO HEED THE CHARTER
Law/Will Be Followed in
v the Makeup: of Official
Ballot
-%At:.the suggestion- of ; Mayor Taylor
the : election commission' took \u25a0 action
yesterday .whereby; the strict letter of
the charter will.be lived \u25a0up to in - the
coming, election and , candidates' names
placed on the ballots in their proper
positions. ». In previous elections ' the
commission has placed . the names to
suit itself.. -
Generally the names of the' super
visors to* be voted upon have -been
placed at the extreme tail end of \u25a0: the
ballot, whereas the .charter mentions
that* office following that of the mayor.
According to the -new- rule the super
visorial position will come second. The
other offices will not be changed mate
rially. - . .;
In order to , Increase -the standard . of
efficiency In election officers the board
recommended yesterday that - hereafter
election officers be paid $10 for the
day's services,"" Instead of $6, as hereto
fore. It is believed that the extra in
ducement will attract a greater num
ber of men from which to make selec
tions.
INSPECTORS INVESTIGATE
. THE ACAPULCO DISASTER
Officers Testify That the Coal Went
in Too Fast and the Ship
Took Water
United States Local Inspectors Bolles
and Bulger conducted an investigation
yesterday into the sinking of the
steamship Acapulco at Its dock on
August 26.
The witnesses— G. G. Trask, master;
J. P. Pedersen, first officer; John Dick,
second officer, and Louis Jackson, car
penter — told the same story. It was
that, finding, the Ehip had a list to port
when it reached its dock, they tried to
place it on an even keel by putting. on
freight between the decks and by coal
ing on the starboard side. The coaling
proceeded faster than the witnesses had
expected and the ship took a list to
starboard. Some of the coal shot to
starboard with a run and the ship
keeled over. The,. carpenter tried to
close the coal port, but it was propped
open with a scantling. The water poured
in and the carpenter was obliged to flee
tor his life.
The matter was taken under advise
ment.
