The "dry" forcea received a terrific reverse in elections -ilirouKliout the state of Illinois yeeter vday, losing much of the grround they sViaI gained In previous pneounters. . In expectation of a battle in the City t' tf Chicago on the prohibition question, M4he liquor interests had assembled a for ; midabU array of political artillery and k v-hen the option question -was knocked nut by the election commissioners, all Jheee heavy guns were immediately hur ried to various critical points down state, fwith the result that today many prohi bition citadels were overturned. Chief interem in the Btate centered in Ianviile, the home of Speaker Cannon, where the semi-riotine was so fierce that 4tiCJovernor Ieneen ordered troops- in readi ly Tieas to move at once.

The fight at Champaign, which is the home of the University of Illinois, was especially exciting. Two years ago the ; city went dry by the narrow margin of , five votes. Yesterday the drys increased - this majority to 277, but the wets assert i that a large number of students voted illegally, as they are not residents, t ' There were many fights and Alderman -; 2.1 a then y, a veteran official, was twice nrrestecl and placed under heavy-bonds'. y1 it being charged that he entered a :j looth and assisted voters In marking tickets.

Bloomington. which the drys expected to capture after a stirring campaign by J j' 33illy Sunday, went wet instead, by 840, . & figure that astonished the managers of both sides. Mayor Carter has offended the liberal element by strict enforcement -i of the liquor laws, and they showed, their resentment by the big vote in favor of an open town yesterday. k 'unislioc' AVork "Wins factories. The return of Rockford to the wet col umn is attributed to the large factory vote. The wets had conducted a re markable secret "gumshoe" campaign in all the factories, but the first hint the drys had of this work was when the re turns began to come In last night. The dry put up a tremendous fight in Oalesburg, with the result that they kept their town in the dry column by a M majority of 311, about half their former J J majority. - "; The saloon forces conducted a "gum JM shoe" campaign, but against them was t.;the entire city press, the church element and the reformed organizations. The wo tit- men were organized In blocks and per Jjjisonally visited every house and got out the voters. They also served coffee and j jj . luncheon at the polling booths. JT "Jry" Hold Mount Carroll. Strenuous efforts were put forth by both sides to capture Mount Carroll, which is the eeat of a great college for young women. The drys maintained their grip upon the city, but Savannah, only a few miles distant, will be sup plied with saloons.

Nothwlth- siauuing irie valiant battle put up by the ) temperai i l lolo ma. ince forces, the city went wet by ajority. In iM'kaJb County last year. 11 men were killed when walking down the rail road tracks to Cortland, the nearest wet town, to get their drinks. This year Dekalb went wet and the drinkers who survive can get their supplies at home. A peculiar condition exists in Kanka kee, one-half , of which remains in a drv 1 1 township, while the other half is in a wet j township. Majorities Cut Down. In Centrailft the wet majority of 345 of two years ago was cut to ITS yesterday. Tazewell County managed to vote out one saloon. In, Kane County, there are now elht wet townships, seven dry and one contested. Bureau County captured one wet precinct. Tinkilwa and AY 111 put out two saloons, but Sheffield went wet. re storing two saloons. Mineral, with three saloons, went dry, so" the net result is the loss of three saloons in the county. The saloon forces were greatly sur prised at their victory in Freeport, where they piled up a majority of 1008. They - had- not expected to ex ceed COO aod the. drys were confident of victory. In this and many other cities it became apparent that the liquor forces had conducted a quiet but highly effective campaign- with out exciting the fears of the drys. Prohibitionists Are Gloomy. At the "Prohibition, headquarters in Chicago last night there was unmis takable gloom and disappointment, while there was great exuberance and rejoicing at t he headquarters of the 1'nited Societies. The latter predict t hat the temperance wave which has been sweeping over the country is now subsiding and that the saloon element will speedily recapture, in all states, the ground they have lost. The anti-saloon people, -while much discouraged by yesterday's results in Illinois, Wisconsin, Kansas and other t rates, ay Mt does not mean anything Vut - b-rlufi mporary return and that they will go after the saloons harder and more systematically than ever. CHICAGO COO'CIIi DEMOCRATIC "Bath-IIoase" John Re-Elected Al derman by Large Majority CHICAGO. April 6. The complexion of Chicago's City Council was changed from Republican to Democratic yester day's election. In the 35 wards the Democrats elected 21 candidates. Re publicans 12 and Independents 2. The new Council will stand: Demo crats, 39; Republicans, 31; Indepen dents, 2. The latter will vote with the Republicans, but the Democrats have a compact machine with enough mar gin to put through any legislation. Previously they had only 17 wards in the Democratic column. The election was characterized by a crusade by the Municipal Voters League, a non-partisan organization, against the selection of alleged "gray wolves' for the new City Council. Al derman John C. Coughlin (Bath-House John), of the First Ward, was re elected by a large majority. It is probable the new Council will have to deal with the problem of constructing a passenger subway and with gas and telephone rates. The suffragettes attempted to wedge in a vote when Dr. Sara Jarunon appeared at the polls and demanded a ballot. Her name appeared on the list of registered voters but she was not. allowed to vote. The close of the voting was marked by much incipient rioting, one death, many fights and a multitude of complaints to the election board of fraudulent voting. About 40 saloonkeepers were 'arrested for keeping open during votinj? time. BILL SAFE, BORAH FEELS $30,000,000 KUJVO XR IRRIGA TION may; pass. Author Likely to Hold Up River and Harbor Sums Until He AA'ins. Clia nee Asked . OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, April 6. Notwithstanding the fact that the outlook for the passage of the $30,000,000 Irrigation bill is not considered bright, in view of known Eastern opposition and indirect, at tacks upon the bill from ex-Secretary Garfield and Director Newell, Senator Borah, author of the bill, believes the bill will become a law this session. It Is known that It is his purpose when the river and harbor bill reaches the Senate to attach the $30,000,000 bill to the river and harbor bUl as an amendment,' or to hold up the river and harbord bill until action is had in the Mouse on the irrigation bill. While Borah has made no statement as to the details of his plan he hopes by such tactics to force consideration in the House. He is confident the bill will pass if afforded a fair chance.

A case of ccrebro-spinal meningitis de veloped two days ago in a. man named Mowers, a painter, at 235 Sixth street. This- Is the first c-ase observed by Port land physicians for two years. Serum was removed from the spine of the afflicted man lastnight and upon ex-' aminatlon it showed cerebro-spinal menin gitis to be present in epidemic form. Mowers has been inoculated with Flex ner's serum, but it is believed by the at tending physicians he has but one ehance in ten of recovery. He is now uncon scious. The disease is still the subject of con siderable discussion -and physicians are not thoroughly agreed upon its cause. It is, however, known the history of all cases shows previous exposure to cold. In Mowers case be had been working in a basement. There was an epidemic of cerbro-spinal meningitis in Portland about three years ago, but in a year the last case disap peared.

BOXER BLEEDING, POLICE STOP BOOT Carroll Blocks Bennett's At tacks Cleverly, Jockey's Foot Foretelling Leads. PRELIMINARY CUT - SHORT Eirst Exhibitions Almost as Excit-i ing as Main Event O. A. C. Matches Thrill. Sports AVest Has Issued Challenge. BY W. J. PETRAIN". Before a large crowd at the Expo sition Rink Tuesday night the Oregon Athletic Club Introduced Jockey Bennett and Jimmy Carroll In a return match as the principal event of the card, which comprised four boxing exhi bitions. All of the bouts were suf ficiently lively to tickle the fancy of the sports who congregated at the ringside. The main event differed but slightly from the show put up by Qennett and Carroll on their previous appearance. Bennett opened the bout by going after Carroll- in such a strenuous manner that & short route might mark the affair, but "Dancing Jimmy" rallied nicely and evened matter up before the final rounds were concluded. The preliminary matches were ex citing, and the ten rounds by Jimmy Fitten and Danny O'Brien were, prob ably the most interesting event. The Oakland chap showed more' science in the art of boxing than was displayed by any ,of the other lads entered on the card. It is possible, however, that Roscoe Taylor might have outshone him had Taylor's engagement with Jack Lassard gone the scheduled route. The bout was stopped as the Seattle lad opened an old cut over Lassard's left eye and it was decided best, to con clude the bout instead of presenting a bloody spectacle. .This happened in the second . round. . Lassard objected to stopping the bout, protesting vig orously that, he was able to continue. Blood Stops BouL - However, officials of the club, and the policemen present maintained that they desired a boxing exhibition and could not be assured that a slight tap would not again open Lassard's eye and cause more bloodshed, so the bout was ended. Taylor, is the most deceiving youngster as far as his personal appearance is con cerned, who has stepped into the arena here this season. He is so frail in ap pearance that every one present thought the husky built blacksmith from Oakland would knock him into a thousand pieces with a punch. The Seattle lad had not been in the -ring many seconds until those who had understimated him charged their opinion. He not only pos sessed a punch, but h4s ruggedness was a revelation to those who could hardly believe such a frail physique could as sert such strength. It was probably a good thing for Lassard that the bout ended as it did. Fitten and Darmy O'Brien went through ten -fast rounds in the. most approved manner. The Portland boy was out classed as far as science and ring gen eralship was concerned, but he made up for what he lacked in fighting qualities by gamensas. Because of his' aggressive ness and staying qualities he deserves an even break with Fitten, although Fitten did not extend himself with any idea of scoring a decisive victory over O'Brien. Kitten's dashing style, and his scientific -manner of boxing aroused the admira tion of the crowd. The windup of the Lassard-Taylor en gegement brought the programme down to the main event, and Carroll and Ben nett were greeted warmly on their ap pearance in the ring. Both are prime favorites here. Bennett Starts Action. Jockey Bennett commenced to battle his opponent In the most businesslike way. Carroll's cleverness is all that saved him from disaster in the earlier rounds, for Bennett was the aggressor at all times and kept Jimmy dancing away most of the time. The slender lad, however, showed himself to be Bennett's equal by eluding cleverly the wild rushes and swings sent his way. In the last two rounds he scored over Bennett in decisive fashion. Bennett will not be able to score an advantage over Carroll until he can get rid of his habit of "telegraphing" all "his leads by stamping his advancing foot on the floor before delivering his blow. Nine out of ten of Bennett's leads were blocked by Carroll because he practically knew what to expect when the jockey set his . left foot on the floor. It was a good bout and the crowd appreciated it. The whole card was worth while, and even the preliminary between Ex poslto and Gillen, a couple of "busti ers," had its good points and served as an appetizer. Gene West is out with a challenge to either Roscoe Taylor or Lassard. It is probable that he and the Seattle lad will be matched as one of the at tractions at .the next smoker. SOCIETY CIRCUS IS LAUNCHED Multnomah Club and Hunt ' Club Members Meet.

According to a "Washington dispatch, if this i accomplished. Portlanders will owe it to Senator Lodge, of Massachu setts, who has introduced an amendment to the rivers and harbors bill, providing for an extension of the regulated time that the draws must remain closed oyer the Charles River and S)rt Point Chjttn--nel in Boston. v - This amendment passed the Senate commerce committee, having the bill tinder consideration and. will be reported to the Senate with the amendment : in corporated.

At the effice of Major Mclndoe, United States Kngineer for this district, it was stated reports on the matter had been forwarded to the Secretary of War some time ago, but have been returned, leaving the matter i to- -the - locat --office, wlri a it virtu ally amounts to a "turn down." By Federal statute the Secretary of War;,, regulates the operation of ibridges over .-any navigable .stream This au thority was delegated to him in the act of August 18, section 5, which says any regulations he may promulgate re garding the operation of bridges over any navigable stream shall have the force of law. In the case of Portland bridges the present regulations, made at the time the franchise for the erection of the; bridges was granted, provide that the draw -must be. opened when any ves sel gives reasonable evidence of a desire to have it opened. That such a law would be constlutional is the belief of Walter H. Evans, Assist ant United States District Attorney, who has .made a study of "the ; subject,' It has- previously been suggested by Mr. Evans that a law might be in t reduced in Congress delegating the power of regu lating the operation of the bridges to the port-. commissions all over tjie country, where they are organized by authority of the state legislatures, as is the case hre.

While the Chamber of Commerce usually handles such, matters affecting the. Fed eral Government and the river, yet the Commercial Club, r'am sure, would be glad to co-operate in the matter." President MacMaster, of the Chamber of Commerce, takes the stand that action should commence today. He so expressed himself last night, declaring that it Is an opportunity that Portland cannot af ford to lose. "T will look Into it tomorrow," he said last night. East Side All Enthusiasm. - It is among Bast Side residents ' that the greatest enthusiasm exists over the plan. For the last five years the ques tion has been agitated by the.
