WITH GREAT ESI RAPIDITY
New York, Nov. 8.—What wo# con
sidered a strange order wo* sent out
from the office of State Superintendent
of Flection* George W. Morgan
through Police Commissioner Bingham,
to the police at the polls today, order
ing them to see that the count In
areater New York tonight was made
with the greatest rapidity, so that the
result would he known as early ns pos
sible. The hypothesis generally held In
regard to this order was the Republi
can managers wanted to know how
things were going In Greater New York
in order that they could act accord
ingly in regard to the returns from the
rest of the state.
The order to the police was addi
tionally queer, according to Democrat
ic managers, from the fact that the
blue coat* at the poUing places were
given rigid Instructions to report any
delay In the count, not to Commission
er Bingham, which would have been
the usual course, but to Superintendent
Morgan's office.

The ordinance Introduced by Coun
cilman W. II. Terrell, making It t
criminal offense to erect' u billboard
over five feet high, died hard in coun
cil Monday afternoon, but it died with
Its hoots on, so to speak.
An Incident or two In connection with
the defeat of the ordinance served to
break the monotony of about as tedious
and bbtrsome a meeting as council
ever perpetrated on un expectant hunch
of newspaper reporter*.
The ordinance had the backing of the
Ministers' Evangelical Association. It
was supposed that there would be a
strong fight to have the adverse report
of the ordinance committee overruled.
When the report was read Councilman
Terrell arose In defense of his ordl-
nonco.

He argued that the passage of the
ordinance would mean the end of tho
unquestionable lithographs which, lie
charged, defaced Atlanta's streets. He
waxed warm and eloquent. In the
midst of the tirade of abuse against
lithographs showing women with waists
too low and skirts too high, there wae
a quiver as of an earthquake, and
then the whole room shook, a volcanic
noise accompanying the eupitoscd ex

Upon Investigation. It was foui.i that
Councilman Btevo Glass had taken a
short trip to Stumberlsnd and that the
train had run off the track. He and
hls chair were carefully gathered to
