Massachusetts Election.
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.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 3. In the Unit
Pd States District Court today the argu
nents in tlie case against the Southern
Pacific Company for alleged cruelty to
animals were concluded and Judge De
Haven announced that he would withhold
his decision for a time.
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.
The Empress of Russia Is indisposed
and she probably will not be able to
receive Mrs. Taft tomorrow; conse
quently the Secretary will go to Tsar-skoe-Selo
alone. Tomorrow evening the
Secretary will attend a banquet at
Foreign Minister Iswolsky's residence,
which will be followed by a big recep
tion of the diplomatic corps and Rus
sian official society.
I Mr. Taf t probably , will go to Bou
logne to catch the ite&mshlp Presi
dent Grant, on which he jroturns to
the United States. Th i'resldunt Giant
leaves Hamburg December 7 and
Boulogne December 8. Mr. Taft, accom
panied by Mrs. George Wheeler, wife
of the Second Secretary of the Ameri
can Embassy at Toklo, will go from
here to Vlmna and Paris. sn will
return to the United States several
weeks after her husband. ;
When questioned regarding the Pres
idential situation in the United States,
the Secretary requested to be excused
from expressing- an opiniun. He suld
he announced a year ago his readiness
to accept the Republican nomination,
und his attitude has not changed since.
Center of Attraction lit Doiimn.

thor, who opportunely was present in the
palnee. Joined Mr. Taft's party and acted
as Interpreter of the speeches. He
pointed out also the leading members of

with the spaciousness and magnificence
of the chamber, which was brilliantly
Illuminated. During Mr. Taft's stay, M.
Shubinsky, an OctoberlsU M. Lymsha, a
Pole, and an Armenian Social Democrat,
took turns In speaking. The session was
not marked by any especial incident.
The news of the presence of Mr. Taft
In the chamber spread quickly until

erally and Says Any Perform
ance at All Is Illegal.
XEW YORK. Dec. 3. The Sunday
theater In New York City will be a
thins of the past if a decision rendered
by Justice O'Gorman. In the Supreme
Court today. Is enforced. In- a sweep
ing opinion, the Justice denounced as
a clear violation of the law every pos
sible form of Sunday stage entertain
ment, under whatever title. There Is
no appeal from his decision, except
new legislation.
The opinion was rendered In confirm
ing the report of a referee in the test
case of William Hammerstein, involv
ing a revocation of the license for the
Victoria Theater on a charge of hav
ing violated the law. The referee
found that only five of the acta given
in that theater were in Violation of the
Sunday law. but Justice O'Gorman dis
agreed with him and said:
"Each of the 20 acts set forth In the
petition constiuted a clear violation of
the law, sufficient to Justify revoca
tion of the license and punishment of
the proprietor and the performers.
"The law Is plain. All performances
in places of public amusement and en
tertainment on Sunday are prohib
ited." HARD FIGHT ON THE MAYOR

TOKIO. Dec. 3. The probable resig

bassador to the United States, ha9
been rumored for some weeks, but the
rumor has been persistently denied.
It is admitted now, however, that Am

that Ambassador Aoki decides not to

probability that lie will be succeeded
by Baron Kaneko, a former special en

Baron Chinda is well known in the
