R Social and Benevolent Orders to Enliven the Carnival Parade in Coney’s Big Mardi Gras Review Programmes for Each Night of the Gala Week Com- pleted—Voters for Carnival King and Queen Warned Against Dilatoriness. While the contest for the King and the Queen of the Coney Island Mardi Gras waxes warmer, while the weather grows milder, the showing of coupons appearing in the office of The Evening World doesn't begin to reflect the battle of the ballots which ts being waged ali over Greater New York, ‘This is evident by the great interest that is being taken in the contest in al] walks of life, by the scramble for papers containing coupons, in the ordering of more papers by the newsdealers; in the covert hints heard along various walks on Coney Island and the mention of names for places on the ballot which haven't yet made their) appearance in The Evening World office. long that he is considered part of Coney. He didn’t know that he was @ candidate for royal honors until he saw his name on the list. “Well, I guess I'll have to make the fight now,"’ he declared, and there was @ great gathering of the Minne- kake clans who are going to do noth- ing but cut coupons from now till the end of election. It is anybody's fight and it will be right up to the last moment of the campaign. In to-day’ editions of TLe Evening World the voting list doesn’t show the week-end increase. But the vo- ters who may have sent in their cou- pons over the week-end needn't worry this. The list includes only the votes which were received and counted in the office up to late Satur- day afternoon. ‘There are to be added to this list the coupons which were cut out of the majority of Saturday's editions and mailed Saturday night or yesterday. There are also to be added the cou- pons dropped into the bellot boxes throughout Coney Island. If you mailed coupons fer your fa- vorite candiéate for King and Queen and don’t see his or her name In the Ust, don't worry. The Evening World will get them and they will be counted. The Evening World has no interest in any candidate further than to see that all coupons sent in ere properly credidited to the candidate named. No combinations can be made with The Evening World to further the cause of any contestant. The Evening World refuses, albso- lutely, to sell any one or any group coptes of the paper by wholesale. The election is going to be by popular vote and the poorest entrant will have an equal chance with the wealthiest. Assemblyman Frank A.

His friends say that they haven't begun to vote yet J. A. Reid, opposite whose name appears 11 votes, is declared to be one of the dark horses of the royal race. He is Joseph Reid, manager for the Feltmans. This is the third year of his management, and he is very pop- ular with not only the guests, but with the rank and file of the Feltman menage. Herbert Evans of Luna Park, Chairman of Civic Organizations, an- nounces that he has filled all the nights of the Carnival Week. On Monday night, the night on which the King and Queen are to be crowned, the Loyal Order of Moose will parade in the royal train. The Moose will come in from all parts of Greater New York, from many points in New Jersey and from Stamford, New Haven, Bridgeport and New Lon- don, Conn. The Red Men and the Danghters of Pocahontas will parade in uniform on Tuesday night. Chairman J, Canavan of the Red Men's Committee of Ar- rangements has promised Mr, Evans that the showing will be greater than that of any year in the past, and the same promise is made for the Daugh- ters of Pocahontas by Mrs. Emma L, Clukies. On Wednesday night the Uniform Rank of the Woodmen of the World, of which Brig, Gen, William J. Har- vey commands the 7th Brigade, New York, will have the right of line. Col. G. W. Sullivan is Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements for the night. Firemen's Night is Thursday, and the preparations being made by the volunteer forces under President Will- lam Fitzgerald give promise of the greatest night the firemen have ever held on Coney Island.

J., stood in the streets as the Rev. Paul T. Carew, rec- tor, blessed a new copper cross. Then four steeplejacks climbed the 200-foot spire and put the cross into position. The crowd watched the men skilfully pick their way up guiding the emblem. Movie operators clicked off reels of the spectacte.

Miss Nellie Biglin was safe at home to-day. She was found on the front porch of the Ocean House at Far Rockaway yesterday—six days after her sudden disappearance from her parents’ 19 East 90th Street. She was at the Ocean House all the time the Bureau of Missing Persons was searching for her, she says. Detectives Raebun and Blake of the Far Rockaway Police Station recog- nized the girl as they passed the Ocean House, She was registered as Helen Ben- nett. When Detective Raebun telephoned to the girl’s father, John H. Biglin, and told him his daughter had been found at Far Rockaway, Mr. Biglin implored him: ‘For God's sake hold her till we come down.” The girl chatted light-hearted- ly about the seashore and the difficul- ties of learning to drive a motor— it was the $165 wich her parents gave her last Tuesday to pay as a deposit on a new car for herself that financed her runaway. But no gues- tioning could Jead her to tell why she did it. “No,” she eaid, “I have no love af- home, No, fair and my mother knows it. I don't wish to tell you why I left home, but {t certainly wasn't on account of any yo@g man. And you can say that I was not kidnapped. My uncle owns the Ocean House and I went there last Tuesday when I left home and I have been there since and that’s all there is to it.’ —— MUTE AS TO QUARREL PRECEDING SHOOTING Wounded Man Shields Assatlants and Hides Nature of Row.
