Bulletins Read by Hundreds While Telephones Were Kept Busy--Not Much Preference Was Shown-- Whig Praised For Service--~Re- turns Caught by Wireless, Great interest: was taken in Kings- ton. in the presidential elections held in the United States on Puesday. In the evening the Whig's election bul- letins were read by hundreds of peo- ple, who remained until the last re- turns were posted, about 10 o'clock. From eary evening until a late hour the Whig telephones were kept busy and the latest information was read- ily and cheerfully given. The Whig has been generally complimented on the promptness and excellence of its service, Nor was the interest in the elec- tions much abated Wednesday morn- ing. Many eager eyes scanned the bulletin boards and the telephones were kept 'humming. The fact that the result was still in doubt served to keep the interest up. There was not much anxiety, how- ever, displayed concerning the result. Kingstonians apparently felt that it didn't make much difference to them which candidate was eclected, al- though it was pointed out by a few that if Hughes won out living would be cheaper in Canada, as he was pledged to increase the protection tariff, which would keep out a lot of Canadian produce, with the inevitable result that prices would drop 'here. United States Consul Johnson was one of those moet interested in the returns, Of course, officially, it makes no difference to him which gide wins out, for the splendid work that he has done and is doing will insure his retention in the service so Jong as he desires to remain in it. But as a native American and an offi- clal representative of his country it was but natural that he should be greatly interested in the result. He was a keen reader of the Whig bullet- ins and kept the telephone wires hot. Sergt. L. L. Hicks, wireless instrue- tor at the Queen's University head- quarters, showed the Whig some of the U.S. election returns he caught on Tuesday evening. J'here were pro- bably 10,000 wirelesy instruments throughout Canada and the United To Cure a Cold in One Day Take LAXATIVE BROMO QUIN- INE Tablets, Drugeists refund money if it fails to cure. EW.

There was another sad case before the Magistrate, that of Cassie Bab- cock, also charged with vagraney. She too was found guilty and the Magistrate gave her six months in jail. The two women were placed under arrest on Tuesday afternoon near Artillery Park by Constables Arniel and McCarey. Mrs. Deline denied the charge lodged against her, and Constable Arniel was called.

She sa'd she had stayed at Mrs. Deline's home for a few days. At first she denied that there had been any improper conduct there, but afterwards, under stiff eyoss-examination by Chief Bail- lie and Constable Arniel, admitted that there had been.
