HAVERHILL BARS LIQUOR Kitchburp: OTfsets Change by Invit ing Whisky Men In Many Sur prises In Political Changes of the Principal Towns. BOSTON'. Dec. 3. The collective re iiult of the municipal elections held in 13 of the 33 cities in Massachusetts to day shows a very considerable grain In the total of no-llcense column, and while changes were made In the liquor policy of two cities, one offsets the other. Haverhill, aroused by a vigorous temperance campaign, voted to go "dry" after 10 years of licensed liquor selling by a majority of 779. as against n majority of 314 for' license last year. Kltchburg. on the other hand, after two years of no license, voted to authorize the sale of liquor by a majority of 544. While none of the other cities changed their policy In this regard, the oppo sition to license was much stronger than In previous years, and In Taun ton license was carried only by eight votes, while last year's majority was S3. The total vote of the 13 cities on the license question compared as fol lows: 190fi, yes 36.813, no 33,222; 1907, yes 38,667, no 37,525. There were many upsets In municipal politics. In Qulncy one of the greatest surprises was sprung, where William K. Shea (Democrat) won after the city had been In Republican hands for nearly 10 years. In Gloucester a ma jority of 30 votes for Henry H. Par sons (Independent) over Mayor George 1".. Macdonald (Independent) Indicates the liveliness of the contest In that city. Kghert I. Clapp, the Republican Mayor of Northampton, was defeated by James W. O'Brien (Democrat) by a majority of 3S0 votes. John B. Tracy, the so-called bootblack Mayor of Taun ton, having been denied the Repub lican and Democratic nominations, which he received last year, ran Inde pendently and polled within 235 votes of Kdgar L-. Crossman, who was sup ported by both parties. In Springfield, Mayor Wtllinm K. Sanderson (Repub lican) was re-elected. Because of work by the No-License t'nion. the city's malorlty for license was reduced about half, the city voting yrr. by 1314. Boston will vote next Tuesday. Fair weather favored the voting every where. Haverhill and Qulncy today adopted the plan of calling voters to the polls by ringing church bells early In the day. NO FRANCHISE ON THE SEA Ex-Sonntor Spooner Says Kates Can not Be Supervised by Commission. WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. An attack was made today before the Interstate Commerce Commission on the commis sion's authority to supervise joint inland and ocean freight rates. Several months Hgo a complaint was filed with the com mission by the Cosmopolitan Shipping Company, an American corporation, against the Hamburg-American and oth er steamship lines alleging the formation of what is known as the Baltic pool, for the control and transportation of the export trade from the United States to Europe. Other allegations were made in the complaint, including charges of re bates and preferential tariffs on goods Intended for export. Recently the defendants filed a de murrer maintaining that the commis s'on had no Jurisdiction oer ocean transportation rates and asking that the complaint be dismissed. Argument on the demurrer was beard by the Commission today, Ex Senator Spooner, Judge G. W. Choate and Harrington Putnam appearing for the defendants and Ward W. Plerson for the complainant. In closing the arguments ex-Senator Spooner declared that ocean carriers were not intended by Congress to be Included In the act. "The carrier on land is a rpiasi public corporation," said he. "While Its ownership. Is private, the use of it Is public. Not so witli the ocean car rieis. No one needs a franchise to sail the seas." Oil Trust Controls Kates. LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 3. Ned Cham berlain, of Cleveland, O., secretary of the National Petroleum Association, Shis morning made a spirited attack tin the Standard Oil Company In a speech before the State Railway Com mission. He asserted that Nebraska, like other states, was in the relentless grip ot the alleged oil combine in the matter of railroad rates. He referred to county seat points, equalized" so that the Independent companies would be placed on an equal footing with the Standard Oil Company. The National Petroleum Association, rf Cleveland, and the National Refining Company nled complaints several weeks igo. aid a hearing will be granted to lay. Decision in Cruelty Case Withheld.

FEAST IN ST. PETERSBURG (Continued from First Page.) Secretary has come to be called here, svHS cheered again and again. Owing to the extraordinary rumors In ?irculation here regarding the nature of his mission, the visit of Mr. Taft has rouwd the liveliest interest and curios ;ty. "Russia." the official organ, makes an effort to correct these wrong Impres sions. In a leading article extending lo Secretary Taft an "open door Russian welcome," the paper sm.vs: "The high position and the personal merits of Secretary Taft explain the leartlness of his reception and tlie honor of an audience with the Emperor, but it Is a mistake to suppose that Mr. Taft's visit is in any way connected with any change in the international policy of Russia. There is not a word of truth In the rumors that we are to give base for an American fleet at Vladivostok or any other Pacific point, but the visit of Secretary Taft will renew and strengthen the oll bonds of sympathy between Russia and Amer ica." All the other newspapers devoTe space to welcomjng Secretary Taft. and the tone of ouch and every one is that of unmixed friendliness. Audience With Czur Today.

Now that he has whipped Gunner Molr. he is entitled to the English heavyweight honors, but before he takes all of the bloomin" hon or, he'd better clean up his American slate. What a dizzy time the dockers at Emeryville are having these days. Rapid Water, owned by Sam Hildreth, stepped a mile and 1C0 yards last Saturday in 1:44 1-5, clipping two-fifths of a second on tlie world's record made by Grand Opera.
