If you have lost your certificate, go to the
polls just the same; the election judge will
swear you to that fact, and then you can vote.

The election judge will hand you a ballot;
mark out all the names you do not wish to

Use a black pencil only; you must not use
a colored pencil. If you use a colored pencil
your ballot will not be counted.

Justice of the Peace Alex Gomez, be-
sides being a dispenser of even-handed
justice, is also an observer of human
nature, and his highly developed sense
of humor contributes materially toward
relieving the dull tedium of official
cares and routine which during these
days of inocuous desuetude have be-
come the rule. Judge Gomez has not
worn the title of judge so long that its
novelty has entirely worn away, and at
times forgets his judicial dignity and
drops into the anecdotage of those of
mature years who have taken observa-
tion of passing events.
Judge Gomez had not been in office
but twenty-four hours when he was
called upon to perform a marriage
ceremony. Another judge in the coun-
ty court building had kindly volun-
teered to instruct the new justice in
some of the duties of his office, and
who .was present, agreed to perform
the ceremony. Judge Gomez has one
human fault, he is sociable, if that be
a fault, and irrespective of the fact
that the lady was good-looking, the
new justice concluded that it was in-
cumbent upon him to make the lady
feel at ease in a temple of justice, and

Reliability
as he was new at the business, he con-
cluded that it would be a good line
of attack to refer to that fact.
Gathering up a bundle of papers and
pretending to look wise, while the gen-
tleman of the party was engaging the
attention of the one who was to per-
form the ceremony, he remarked to the
lady that himself and the lady were
both engaged in new lines of business,
and was proceeding to tell her that
this acting the part of justice of the
peace was a brand new venture with
him, when the lady interrupted with
the remark that he was mistaken, this
was no new business to her.
The new justice was so stunned over
the remark that his assistant had gath-
ered in the fee before he recovered.
He then called the attention .of his aid
to the remark and was informed that
that the lady had said nothing less
than the truth; that she and the man
to whom she had just been united had
been divorced and that this was her
second experience, albeit with the
same man.
The justice had become a bit more
accustomed to his judicial surround-
ings before the next couple came in to
be made one. It happened to be an
old friend of the justice’s and nothing
untoward occurred during the solemn
reading of the ceremony. At the con-
clusion, the groom asked the justice
what was his fee, at the same time
reaching into his pocket and extract-
ing a roll that looked as large as a
flour barrel to the judge. Spying a
ten-spot on the outside of the roll, the
justice remarked that the bill on the
outside would be sufficient and with a
sigh that reached clear to China the
groom slowly unwound it and handed
it over to the smiling justice, who then
turned to the bride, and placing the
bill in the palm of her hand, remarked
that it expressed in part his good
wishes, while the groom, who had been
watching the bill, drew a deep gasp of
relief. -
In the course of the years the jus-
tice had practiced this little trick sev-
eral times upon those with whom he
felt sufficiently acquainted to put it
over, but one day recently, he ran into
rather a disturbing experience while
perpetrating the bit of camouflage.
The lady in this instance was quite
well known to the justice and he knew
the man to be rather close with his
purse-strings, and concluded this to be
the proper time for his little trick of
taking it from one of the family pock-
ets, as it were, and placing it in an-
other So when the groom put his open
hand to his mouth to prevent his wife
from hearing his words and inquired
in a coarse whisper, “Judge, what’s the
damage?” the judge, also in a stage
whisper, said: “Ten bucks.
But the lady was sharp of hearing
and not stopping to couch her mean-
ing in Chesterfieldian language, told
the justice that he was a robber and
that she felt like cutting his friend-
ship. That was not exactly what she
said, but the judge gathered that it
was her meaning, and then he pro-
ceeded to turn her wrath into smiles
and sunshine by palming the ten-spot
and telling her it was his wedding
present.
The judge has several times used the
high prerogative of his office to com-
pel the groom to salute his bride after
the conventional manner, and he in-
sists that there were times when the
bride looked as if she thought the jus-
tice owed her one in addition to that
received from the groom. Justice
Gomez has had the unique experience
of having performed the marriage cere-
mony twice over the same couple; they
had been divorced and concluded to
remarry.
Besides joining couples in the bonds
of matrimony, Justice Gomez has on
more than one occasion prevented the
breaking of these bonds by couples
who, because of some differences, had
| concluded that marriage was a failure,

One couple, in happy remembrance of
his having performed their wedding
ceremony, named their first-born after
him. “And what do you think that boy
will have to say when he grows up;
wishing a. name like that on him? He
should have been named ‘Liberty,’ for
he was born on July Fourth.”

SKIP STOPS TO
BE INAUGURATED
City Finds That Fuel Adminis-
tration Order as to Trolley
Cars is Mandatory.
At the regular weekly meeting of
the board of city commissioners held
yesterday afternoon in A the council
chamber of the city hall the board
approved the report of the committee
recommending that the “skip stop”
system be inaugurated in Galveston in
accordance with the orders of the
United States fuel administration. This
committee, consisting of Commissioner
Charles T. Suderman, Wesley Merritt,
county fuel administrator, and Alba H.
Warren, general manager of the Gal-
veston Electric company, held a ses-
sion last week, according to their re-
port, and stated that in their opinion
the orders were imperative and would
have to be obeyed by the street rail-
way companies and the city commis-
sion.
According to the present plan, the
system will be partially inaugurated
in Galveston within the next few
weeks. It will be put in operation
first on the Market street line, the
Twenty-seventh and Thirty-seventh
street line and the Fort Crockett line
When the system is first started the
local company expects to make it
operative in the residence district only,
later to be followed in the business
districts if necessary. This plan may
be changed by the committee, however,
before the final plan is worked out.
The manner in which the system will
be worked out will- be left to the same
committee who have had the matter
in hand since the beginning. According
to Acting Mayor Sealy, the local busi-
ness firms will want the cars to stop
on their corners naturally, and this
essential detail will be worked out
without favor or partiality to any firm
or individual, according to the report
of the committee. A meeting will be
held in the near future to discuss the
further phases of the matter.
Under the plan as suggested by the
government, the stops in the business
district will be about 600 feet apart, or
about two blocks; in the residence dis-
trict about 900 feet, or about three
blocks, and in the open country, at
least 1,320 feet apart, or about four or
five blocks apart. This will apply
chiefly to the suburban lines.
QUARANTINE LAW.
The commission announced that the
preparations for the caring of the
various cases of venereal- diseases
which came under their care would
be looked after better in the near
future if the present plan of the board
was carried through. The plan will
also entail very little expense to the
city proper. Efforts are being made
to get the use of the state quarantine
station and in the event that it is se-
cured they expect to get government
funds to keep it operating. At least
the government funds will aid in its
upkeep. This site has been designated
as an ideal one for the purpose and
negotiations are at present under way
between Acting Mayor Sealy and Dr.
Collins of the state department; of
health for the use of the buildings. It
was pointed out that with the use of
this station the number of guards could
be reduced to two per day, one at day
and one at night. Mr. Sealy stated that
he was also taking up the advisability
of using the facilities
medical examiners
maintained at their
tion.
According to the
and the staff of
the government
immigration sta-
statement of Dr.
Cooke, Dr. Collins has

London, July 26.—Lord Burnham pre-
sided at a dinner at the Ritz hotel last
night given by the press of Great Brit-
ain in honor of Melville Stone, general
manager of the Associated Press.
Among the guests were Sir Robert
L. Borden, the Canadian premier; Sir
George H. Perley, Canadian high com-
missioner at London, and Vice Admiral
William S. Sims, United States navy.
Baron Beaver-Brock, chancellor of the
duchy of Lancaster and head of the
propaganda department, and Lord
Northcliffe sent letters apologizing for
their inability to attend.
Sir Robert L. Borden toasted the
American army and navy. Sir George
Riddell, in supporting him, quoted the
late Lord Kitchener as saying that he
looked forward to the entry of the
United States into the war as the most
tremendous event that could occur. Sir
George asked why, and Kitchener re-
plied, “Because the Americans are so
intelligent.”
Lord Burnham in toasting Mr. Stone
described him as a prophet honored in
his own country as in this, because
he spread through the continent full
and accurate news of the world’s work
without fear or favor, without fiction
or fabrication, without color, or coarse-
ness. Accordingly he deserved a high
place among the makers of his age.
John Ruskin would have recognized
in Melville Stone a fellow idealist not-
withstanding he was a practical man
of business. All Melville Stone had
done to promote good relations be-
tween America and Great Britain by
telling the plain unvarnished truth
about the British part in the war had
their sincere gratitude.
Mr. Stone, in replying, said he felt
very much at home, as all his blood
was either English, Scotch or Irish.
Referring to the war preparations and
activities of the United States, he said
that the Americans were slow in com-
ing into the war, but the one thing the
United States did not blunder about
was that she did not plunge into it
until the national mind was made up.
Her entry had given a sense of self-
respect to her people which was most
stimulating. They had learned that
the citizenry of a country can do some
things better than professional sol-
diers, even in war time.
“Steam is up,” he added; “we are
moving rapidly. The whole nation is
enlisted. You need not fear abatement
of our activity.
“I wish you could see, as I have
done, the vast work going on in
France. Five locomotives are taking
the lines daily. I cannot tell how vast
a quantity of freight trains are follow-
ing them, and the transport of troops
is but a small measure of the work re-
quired.
“Nobody who has had the opportunity
to investigate will doubt me that we
are doing our best.”
that the station be used for this pur-
pose and that government funds be
utilized in aiding in stamping out the
diseases which the officials claim are
hampering the war activities of the
army and navy.
Louis A. Adoue was granted permis-
sion to have the auditorium used on
the night of Monday, July 29, for the
purpose of holding a celebration in
honor of the departure of 246 negroes
which will be drafted about that date.
According to the petition, the celebra-
tion is being given by the local negro
four-minute men and will be in the
nature of a patriotic celebration.
A petition was received from the
Brush Electric company asking per-
mission to place four poles in the East
End. The matter was referred to Com-
missioner Suderman with power to act.
A petition was received from the In-
ternational Longshoremen’s Associa-
tion, Local No. 310, asking that the
board investigate the advisability of
having the guarded gates at the en-
trance to Piers 14 and 16 kept open at
night when ships are being loaded and
unloaded and the force of longshore-
men are working overtime. Mr. Sealy
stated that he was already taking this
matter up with the officers in charge of
the United States guard and that in
the event it was found feasible, the
action would be taken.
City Secretary John D. Kelley re-
ported that he had notified Sealy
Hutchings to appear on Thursday, July
18th, to point out the reasons, if any,
why the property owned by him at 2327
Avenue N should not be torn down, and
that he had failed to appear. The
building was reported to the city offi-
cials some time ago as being in a di-
lapidated condition. The secretary was
ordered to write and ask Mr. Hutchings
the reasons for the nonappearance of
himself or his agent.
GUARDS CHANGED.
A communication was received from
Capt. Walbach of the Coast Artillery
corps to the effect that the guards
which have been maintained by the
coast artillery at Alta Loma must be
removed, but that they will be re-
placed by two men from the United
States guards. This was pronounced
to be satisfactory to the commissioners.
City Attorney Mart H. Royston re-
ported that the assistant city attorney
had been working for some time get-
ting out a list of the various requests
for refunds on the unearned portions of
liquor licenses, and also in getting a
complete list of the amounts owed by
the various concerns to the city for
water and taxes. He stated that this
list was about complete and recom-
mended that they be turned over to the
city auditor for collection. He stated
that there were some instances where
the amount would barely cover the wa-
ter indebtedness and that the taxes
would not be paid out of the amounts.
He stated that in his opinion the taxes
could be collected in some other man-
ner. This recommendation was placed
in the form of a motion by Commis-
sioner Suderman and carried.
Commissioner Suderman reported
that the county had failed to fill in its
part of the work on the beach front
between Twenty-fourth and Thirty-
seventh street, and he recommended
that the matter be taken up with the
county commissioners at once, asking
them to do this work, as the city want-
ed to complete her fill work on that

He also suggested that in the event
that the county did not have the funds
necessary to do the work at the pres-
en. time, the city would do it and the
county could repay her at some future
date.The city engineer estimated that
about $7,0Q0 would be involved. This
recommendation was placed in the
form of a motion and carried.
The chief of police was granted an
appropriation of $200 for carrying out
his official duties.
Charles Magnani was elected to a
place on the police department on rec-

REPRESSIVE MEASURES.
German Authorities Are Taking Meas-
ures Against Socialists.
By Associated Press.
New York, July 26. — Repressive
measures against socialists are being
put into effect by the German authori-
ties, according to Socialist Deputy
Bauer, whose speech before the reich-
strag on June 4, is quotedi in German
newspapers received here. Bauer said
the socialist newspapers were being
held back at some field post stations by
order of high officials and that com-
plaints made to the war minister were
futile. Conditions in Breslau were
worse than elsewhere. There, he said,
the authorities have forbidden meet-
ings of the members of the Socialist
party. The treatment accorded to the
pacifists was unworthly and insulting
said Bauer, while the propaganda of
the "politicians of conquest” is not only
allowed but promoted.
“While the Social Democrats in the
Sixth army district in Breslau are ab-
solutely outlawed," declared Bauer,
the Fatherland party is allowed to hold
meetings without molestation and en-
roll new members. Our party secretary
in Breslau was disciplined by being

Bauer demanded-that the minister of
war should prevent the general in com-
mand of the Breslau district from
misusing his authority.
Attempts by labor unions to co-oper-
ate in the regulations of wage condi-
tions and working hours met with
great opposition, Bauer said.
Replying to Bauer's charges, Secre-
tary of the Interior Wallraf said “in
free America the press has to suffer
much more.”
