' domed Fitzgerald Declares His Intention to Do Many Things For Boston, Among Them Greater In dustrial Commercial Expansion. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Boston, Jan. 12 A recount of yes' terday's partyless election -will begin Monday.' According to the returns, John F. Fitzgerald, former mayor, ,. has won his campaign for vindica tion and has been elected the city's chief executive by a plurality of 1,415 out of a total of 95,358, the heaviest ever cast for mayor. N The recount demanded by James J. Storrow, former president of the Boston chamber of commerce, who opposed Mr. Fitzgerald, is not ex pected to make any change in the 'final result. The reformers are greatly pleased at the success of seyen of the nine members of the new council -whom they endorsed. : Although James M, Cprtey, who once served two months In jail for-a elvU service fraud, is re elected, two others opposed bitterly by the reformers, Tlmilty and Olblin, have been retired from public life.' Mrs. Julia Duff, the only woman candidate, was defeated by Mr. Ellis, the present chairman of the scnool committee for the new school board. Fitzgerald was elected under plan 2, which It Is said, he never favored, as it largely reduces the power of the mayor by making all his appoint ments subject to the approval of the state civil service board. None of the members , of the board live in Boston. The business Interests which sup ported the new charter wanted Stor row elected as the man to give it a fair trial, and claimed that Fitzger ald would let the city fall back to the. old days of graft and fraud. Mr. Fitzgerald has declared his intention to do many things for Boston. Some of his plans include: Greater industrial and commercial expansion, new subways, to make the railroads electrify their lines within ten miles of Boston; to make Boston a "'free port" . on the same lines as Hamburg; everything to make Bos ton one of the greatest ports in the world. It is rumored that Mayor Hlbbard will be given a handsome office as his reward for deft ecting votes from Stor row, possibly that of city treasurer. The city again Voted for license by a majority of 21,122 and Boston will continue to be the great oasis, al though surrounded by a continuous (Continued on Page Two.)

AGAIN REPRIEVED Walter Morrison Granted Re prieve Until March 18 " This is the Fourth Reprieve For Mor risonJohn Atkinson, Sentenced From Johnson County, Also Gets a New Lease on Life The Cause of These Reprieves is That Death Chair is Not Ready. Governor Kitchln this morning granted reprieves to Walter Morrison and John Atkinson until March 18, which was done at the request of the state prison officials, who stated that It would be impossible to have the death chair ready for the dates set for the electrocutions. This is the fourth reprieve for Morrison. He was sentenced from Robe.son county to be electrocuted September 10, 1909. ' The chair was not ready, so the date was moved up October. Still the preparations were-not complete so the second re prieve was granted until November. When this time rolled around, the chair had not beefl received, and the third respite was given until Janu ary. 14, 1910. The chair has arrived, but some -of the necessary attach ments are still missing, and today the fourth . reprieve was granted until March 18. This will make almost a year since sentence of death was passed. T , John Atkinson, the other prisoner reprieved "this morning, was sent enced from Johnson' county for the crime of murder, the date of the elec trocution being set for February 3, but owing to the same reasons as in the Morrison case,' a reprieve had to be granted. ,- SAVED BY CORSET STEEL.

'. - SPEAKER AN ISSUE Feeling Against Hun Contin ues to Grow Insurgents Assert That the Regulars Are Attempting to Bring the Presi dent Into the Fight In an Attempt to Save Cannon Republican Cau cus Tonight. (By Leased Wire, to The Times) Washington, Jan. 12 The crim ination and recrimination between the insurgents and the regulars of the house has become so intense that the matter has now been brought to the personal attention of President Taft. The insurgents assert that the regulars are doing their best to bring the president Into the fight In their attempt to save Cannon from a com - plete route, and it is hov up to the president to repudiate - the stories that he no longer considers the insur- gents members of the party. ' That the feeling against Cannon and Can- non ism, is growing and that the speaker will again be an Issue in the campaign, is evident from' the fact that last Friday more than a dozen ( regulars, who were on hand, refused to come in io me nouse during a ron call and . vote against the Norris amendment. Another index of the intense feel ing against the insurgents and the desperate efforts of the regulars to discredit them is the order Issued yesterday by "Whip" Dwight to the pair clerks that no more pairs should be arranged without his approval. ! government extended to .tho palace It l This means that If any insurgent is j self, involving more pKornjnent persons absent without a pair he would be j than was at first 'believed.

A BOLD ROBBERY Four Negro Boys Break In and Rob Hardware Store Negro Boys Rob Hardware Store mid : Are Careless in Disposal of Stolen Goods Quartette Tried and Sent to Jail Mrs. McFarland Improv ing. (Special to The Times.) Wilson, N. C, Jan. 12 Last Sun day night a bold robbery occurred on one of the public thoroughfares of Wilson between seven and eight o clock, while the streets were thronged with church-goers. Four negro boys Bob Bryant, Herman Simms, Moses Cox and Harry Bel lamy broke, into the hardware store of DHdy & Agnew by smashing a large place glass window. They se cured four revolvers and for awhile eluded the officers. One of the guns they pawned to a negro man, who, when he found it had not been used, turned it over to his boss. The po lice heard of this occurrence and soon the thieves and their plunder were in the hands of the law. The quartette were tried and sent to jail in default of bail to await the action of the grand jury. Mrs. R. W. McFarland, the effi cient head operator at the Wilson telephone exchange, and one of the lucky ladies who went to Canada at the expense of The Times for mate rially enlarging the Wilson list of subscribers to The Times, and who was stricken with paralysis on the morning of January second, is im proving, and she expects to be at her post of duty again In a few days. GRANT NO CONCESSIONS. Hari'iinaii Lines Wants to Stop the Suit, But Stands Pat. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, Jan. 12 Granting no concessions to the government, but, her. hand, . declaring that they them Sfilv ei Jikely winners In-4he big suit to dissolve their merger, the Harriman lines are seeking for a ter mination of the big legal battle the attorney-general has been waging against their" interests. Rumors that the officials of the Union Pacific Railway system, in their negoiations with the govern ment for an early ending of its suit against the roads, had proposed the separation of certain of its competing lines were set at rest today by the administration. Silence as to the de tails of the conference at the white house on Monday between President Lovett and counsel and President Taft, Attorney-general , WIckersham, and Frank B. Kellogg, was broken to the extent of an announcement that the Harriman lines offered nothing that ; would lead the government to suppose that a change of organization and policy was in the wind. Messrs. Lovett, Spooner, and Evarts, for the Union Pacific, invited the president and his advisers to weigh the evidence on the merger suit thus far adduced and to consider the railroad's defense, with a view of ascertaining. If pos sible, whether the government should desist carrying the suit further. LUMBERTON HAS TROUBLES. Report of Commissioners Shows Some Things Need Mending. (Special to The Times) Lumberton, Jan. 12 The town of Lumberton is having troubles of Its own as the report of Mayor J. A. Rowland, which has just been submit ted to the town commissioners, will show. Tho report covers the affairs of the past year, and during that time the town has fallen down badly in several instances. The health condition is satisfactory at present, which marks about the only bright spot in the report. The fire - department is shown to be a farce, not even enough steam being kept up in some instances to blow the fire-whistle. The streets in many places are in a deplorable condition on account of the lack of hands and material with which to carry on the work. Six Killed In Gas Explosion. (By Leased Wire to The Times.)
