DOUBLE CROSS RULES AMONG G. 0. P. CROWDS Both Plain and Fancy Brands Figure in Voting. PLENTY OF TRADES Cochrane (rets Help of Jewett-Lemcke Faction. Plata and fancy double-crossing was the rule among Republican leaders and workers in the primary election today, the complexion of the avalanches of slate* wi*h which the voter was showered at the polls indicated.

ROBISON HAD BtEX INDORSEE. Cochrane also appeared to be receiving extraordinary support from lteveridge and shack workers. The Shank organ i/atiou had 1..-!. pledged for months to support Edward G. Robison for county treasurer. R.-bi-ouV name appears upon the slate of the Marion County Republican League, which is the faction seeking to captur control of the county organization for the mayor. However, two other slates bearing names of Shank candidates are being passed out in various parts of the city. The name of none of the candidates for treasurer appears thereon. It was said that one of these Shank s’itt s—ho h of which are headed "(i. O. I*. Victory Slat!'—They can win in November'' (one on orange* and the other on light pink paper)—is the Shank Armitage slate and the other the personal choice of Mayor and Mrs. Shank. At one place this was called the "Me and Sarah" slate. The last Shank slate issued was said by a worker at the Fourth precinct of the Sixth ward, to have been the light pink one. It differs in sev ral other ways from the Marion County Republican League slate, which was announced as the "official'’ city hall list.

The teachings and the practice of Christian Science are such that they consistently and successfully hold thought in constant relation to the divine nature In this way the truth and harmony which belong to the divine Mind are related to the needs of human experience.

Rich Young Chilean Dies for Love of Peggy Joyce

PARIS, May 2.—Police today started nn investigation of the statement of Peggy Hopkins Joyce that William Er rnzuriz, young Chilean diplomat, killed himself in a room next to her suite in the Hotel Claridge because she rejected his ardent love. Errazuriz, whose sister. Blanca Dossaulles, caused a tremendous sensation in America in 1917 by slaying her husband. wealthy society man and former Yale athlete, was found dying Sunday with a revolver grasped In his band. It was at first a mystery. Then Peggy Hopkins Joyce, whose matrimonial ad ventures have gained fame for her on two continents, came forward and told a dramatic story of her last evening with young Errazuriz. She told of frantic court paid by the wealthy youth and of how he had been insanely Jealous of the attentions showered on her by Henri Letelller. owner of Le Journal, whom Peggy says she intends to wed. The three. Letelller anil Peggy and the Chilean went to dinner Saturday night and later to a dancing club In the Rue Caumartin. According to Peggy, much champagne was eousumed and the party returned to the Claridge early Sunday morning. After Letellier had left, according to Peggy, Errazuriz made a final desperate plea for her hand. He wished her to marry him when a papal divorce had been granted, she said. On his knees ho begged her to give up Letellier. With all the ardor of his race, he pleaded. But the former actress remained firm in her refusal. She refused him gently at first, then sternly. Errazuriz withdrew In tears. He went to liis room which was next to Peggy’s. The actress declared she heard a muffled shot. When the door was broken open the young Chilean lay dying from a pistol wound in his head. He lingered a x*hlle, but made no statement. Peggy declared she was prostrated

LIGHT VOTING WITH HARDLY RIPPLE FROM MARION COUNTY POLLS Surprise Expressed at Headquarters of Both Republican Senatorial Candidates as Result. BEVERIDGE PLEASED WITH NEGROES

Light voting continued in the Democratic and Republican primaries today as the clay progressed with hardly a ripple of difficulties in Marion county. That the vote will not equal that of the last general election or that of the city election was apparent. Because of the extreme length of the ballots voters were taking much more time than usual marking their tickets. There wer elndications that should a last minute rush develop just before the polls close there would be difficulty in permitting every one to cast a ballot. Efforts were being made by all factions to get out the vote but the results were not particularly gratifying from the viewpoint of vote seekers. Surprise at the light vote was expressed at both Beveridge and New headquarters. The Beveridge managers seemed pleased with reports of the lack of voting activity in the negro precincts and incidentally this was the cause of no little concern around New headquarters. WALKER SHOWS 30,000 BALLOTS. John F. Walker, Marion county campaign manager for Beveridge said his figures showed that the total vote in Marion County would be between 45,000 and 50,000. On this basis he claimed the county for Beveridge by from 10,000 to 1 11.000 vote-, as against the 13,000 given out by him. Monday. He explains that the latter figure was based on expectations of a total vote of about 75,000. Walker also claimed 155 out of the 207 precincts in the county for Beveridge. Up until noon, Walker said, there had been an average of only 90 to 100 votes cast per pre -inct. BE\ BRIDGE LEADERS MEET. At noon a conference of Beveridge leaders was held at the county headquarters. s-55 K of I’, building. Among those in attendance were William H. Bobbs, Charles W. Miller, formerly United States district attorney, and Clarence Martin. There was little activity around New County headquarters in the Peoples’ Bank building. Ralph Lemcke, Charles O. Roomier and Charles W. Jewett, former mayor, -vent to lunch about noon, saying they were thoroughly satisfied with the situation. However, the optimism expressed by the leaders was not borne out by the opinions of many of the workers, and it wu* understood that strenuous efforts would be made during the afternoon to get out a much larger vote in the negro precincts than was polled in the morning. "Every vote we fail to get out in the negro precincts is a vote lost for ns,” one of the workers said, "and it is up to ns to get that vote polled this afternoon.” ORGANIZATION WORKING GOOD. Oue of tho New managers said that he had visited twenty-eight voting places during tlie morning and with the exception of the Ninth ward he found the New organization in far better working shape than that of his opponent. The Beveridge forces seemed to bo counting heavily on the vote of the women and every effort was being made to get as much of this vote out as possible. An outstanding feature was a call for more Democratic ballots from throe normally Democratic precincts, Indicating Democrats who deserted to vote for Harding In 1920 an l Shank last year are coming back into the fold. No serious trouble of any kind was reported to either the police or election board. The nearest approach to a mix- j up came in the Ninth precinct of the | Third ward where, the election commissioners were informed, a member of the board pasted an official ballot on a wall. A crowd of workers around the polls, thinking the ballot was a sample one. tore it down and made away with it. Tiie board was worried because the ballot. mutilated though it was. was missing. WOMAN WANTS BOTH BALLOTS. The election board of the Frist precinct of the Tenth ward had an argument with a woman who said she was a war mother ami was non-partisan hence as entitled to have loth a Democratic and a Republican ballot. She was referred to the election commissioners who had a hard time convincing her she eouid only haie one party ticket. I‘oltce squads were held In readiness at headquarters for trouble and men on

The police today were making r rigid examination of her story. The Chilean legation cast doubt upon it. The legation pointed out that Errazurtz had been a neurasthenic, and had lets letters saying he was In fiuanclal difficulties

beats were watching closely for violations of the election laws. Mayor Shank's announcement that police surveillance would be close because the anti-Shank forces are in control of precinct election boards. The emergency squads had nothing whatever to do, however. While there was sporadic activity on the part of Democratic voters in the three precincts where calls for more ballots were received reports from most sections of the city Indicated that the Republican vote will be far greater than the Democratic. This was expected in view of the greater Intensity of the Republican battle. DEMOCRATS COME BACK INTO FOLD. Reports from precincts in each ward showed there was practically no difference in the rate of voting in different sections of the city. The north side was coming in as slowly as the south side and the east no faster than the west. It was before 8 o'clock that the election commissioners received calls for more Democratic ballots from the three precincts. The Thirteenth and Fourteenth precincts of the Ninth Ward called for 10S more Democratic tickets each. The commissioners were having them printed. The Thirteenth was supplied with eighty-one Democratic ballata and the Fourteenth with forty-three originally. The number of ballots giv en each precinct is one and one-half times the number of Democratic or Republican votes, as the case may be, in the last general election. The last general election was in 1920. TURN DOWN DEMOCRATIC REQUEST The Second Precinct of the Twelfth Ward asked for fifty more Democratic ballots and 100 more Republican. The commissioners investigated and decided tho Democratic tickets were not needed but sent the Republican. A request for more voting booths was received from the First precinct of the Third ward. While the early reports gathered independently did not show brisk voting, both Beveridge and New headquarters claimed the balloting was iieavy. The politicians did not contend there was a record-breaking vote, but thought it heavier than was expected. MORE MEN THAN WOMEN VOTE. Many more men than women were voting, it was reported. The election commissioners had 796 absent voters ballots ready to distribute to the proper precincts. At 8:50 o'clock only sixty-five persons had voted in the fifteenth precinct of the First ward. Twenty-three were Democrats and forty-two Republicans. Only-fifty-eight had voted in the Sixth precinct of the Second war at 8:25 o'clock. Seventeen Democrats and forty-one Republicans had shown up in the Third* precinct of the Fourteenth ward at 8:30 o'clock. The total vote in the Fourth precinct of the Third ward at 8:53 o'clock was eighty-two. Activity was a little brisker in the Eighth precinct of the Fourth ward where 110 had voted by 9 (Continued on Pago Two.)

BEVERIDGE AND NEW FOLLOWERS BOTH HOPEFUL Rival Candidates Keep Ears to Ground. Eager to Know Vvhal’s Coming. Optimistic reports came from both the New and the Beveridge headquarters as the voting progressed today. Both candidates had their ears to the ground. Albert .T. Beveridge declared he was as optimistic as ever. He said that early reports carry no significance and that tho result cannot be determined until the ballots are counted. He displayed a telegram front Knox Copnty saying ha could carry the county, but he said his organization never had expected * majority In that county. New- State headquarters reported that several counties which had been regarded as in tho doubtful column would give a majority for New.
