WOMEN PARADE AT POLLS
Ixmjr and Bitter Fight, in Which
Local Politics Are Mixed, Ends
AVlth Perfect Order at Ejec
tion Saloons Closed.
NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., Dec. 30.
(Special.) In an election characterized by
a. heavy vote and an ylntense interest,
North Yakima voted ti remain in the
"wet" column today by a majority of 270.
The prohibition forces failed to carry a
single precinct in the city, and it was
evidenced that the result represented the
true sentiment of the city by the fact
that out of the 2G00 electors registered, 2540
cast their votes. Though the police were
on hand to see that there was no dis
order, their presence was not needed, as
there was not the slightest attempt at
roughness or rowdyism.
The 'election terminated a long and
bitter campaign, started before the city
primary fight was on, and later curiously
Intermixed with local politics. ' In the
wind-up of the" struggle today the "wets"
prevd into service every automobile in
the city, while the "drys" made free use
of hacks., and further increased their
efforts at the polls by having women
mingle among the crowds, bearing ban
ners urging the men to vote against
license.
All Saloons Keep Closed.
One feature of the election that did
much to favor the result was the gen
eral closing of all saloons while the
polls were open, a voluntary move on
the part of the liquor dealers. Even
the sale of bottled liquor was stopped
after midnight on Wednesday.
The local option fight, the first In
the city's history, was connected from
the very start with the recent politi
cal campaign which resulted In the rej
election of Mayor Phillip M. Armbrus
ter by a majority of 210 votes. Dur
lng that campaign It was openly
churgod that, Armbruster was backed
by the liciuor Interests; and while he
dented this at the time, he made a
statement last week declaring himself
to be In favor of "national prohibition"
or none at all.
Many Charges Made.
This statement moved Councilman J.
J. Miller,' who goes out of office with
the close of the year, and who was de
feated by Armbruster in the primary
race for Mayor, to indirectly espouse
the cause of the "drys," and to accuse
the Mayor of not only being a saloon
man, but also of being tainted with the
tenderloin graft. Matters finally came
to the posting of a $1000 forfeit by the
Mayor If Miller could prove his
charges, and arrangements for a joint
debate, between the two were made.
Capital was made out of all this by
Manager Zupann, of the "dry" forces,
and half and quarter-page broadsides
were used by both sides in the local
papers-'
Before the local option election predic
tions were freely made by the "wets" that
the result of the Mayoralty election
would be repeated in the present fight,
and the close similarity of the final
figures seems to show that their judg
ment was good. ' During the local op
tion cnmp'aigu, the Koyal Arch, the as
sociation of saloon men, was dissolved
with considerable grandstand play, and
shortly afterwards there was formed a
"Businessmen's Association," in which,
no saloon men held office, but which
took up the "wet" fight as a "business
proposition."
Papers Kntered Fight.
The two dally papers also entered
into the fight, the afternoon paper
openly- espousing the cause of the
"wets," and its editor making a tour
of Oregon . and Washington towns
where prohibition was In force, and
writing stinging letters thereon. The
evening paper was the "dry" organ,
but was only luke-warm in its sup
port of the forces under Manager
Zupann.
The result of the election leaves
North Yakima the only community in
the county, with one or two unim
portant exceptions, that is still ' in the
"wet" column. The prohibitionists are
already planning a county prohibition
campaign, which will probably be suc
cessful; but this will not affect North
Yakima, as under tho state laws a
county cannot vote a city dry. The
matter of license cannot be brought
up here again for the next two years,
pendent upon the result.
One of the most peculiar features of
the local option campaign was that it
was largely engineered and carried on
l-y men who were not taxpayers In the
city. The leading members of the
Civic Brotherhood, which led in the
movement, lived Just beyond the cor
porate limits of North Yakima, and
Manager Zupann, who had direct
charge of the campaign, was an im
portation from Prosser,

CHICAGO, Dec. 30. (Special.)

These other bequests range from $300,
000 to $900,000, and nearly" all are for

Cumberland Frozen First Time
in 17 Years.
GOTHAM HAS COLDEST DAY
Ice Gorges Form for 7 0 Miles in
Mississippi Kiver Ohio Iced
for Long Distance South
Unprepared, in Throes. ,
CHICAGO, Dec. 30. (Special.) Death
and acute suffering among the poor
classes are involved In the excessive cold
that prevails in the Northwest, in the
Mississippi Valley and down in Dixie.
The coldest spot in the North today was
St. Paul, at 14 degrees, below. These are
the records from Government instruments.
Street thermometers told a still more vio
lent tale of cold weather.
Five deaths in two days are attributed
to the rigorous weather.
Pittsburg reports six fatalities and other
cities are coming to the front with stories
of death from exposure to the elements.
Two negroes were frozen to death at
Birmingham, Ala., in the first 24 hours
of the severe chill.
Gotham Peels Coldest Day.
Today was the coldest day of the Win
ter in New York, the thermometer regis
tering 6 degrees, above zero early thin
morning. Many were overcome by the
cold, the municipal lodging-houses and
police stations being thronged with per
sons seeking shelter.
m The Ohio River is frozen solid from
Pittsburg to, Cincinnati. For the first
time in seven years the Ohio River is
frozen at Cincinnati, but one small place
in the harbor escaping. Great suffering
is reported, among the poor.
Ice Gorges Forming.
Ice gorges have farmed in the Mis
sissippi River from Chester, 111., to St.
Louis, a distance of 70 miles. No im
mediate danger is expected from floods.
. Considered from the community
standpoint, the greatest suffering now
is south of the Mason and Dixon line,
where the people in many localities are
not prepared for such temperatures as
have fallen upon them. There were a
few places In the South which were com
paratively comfortable, but all felt a
keener Northern breath than usual.
In Jacksonville, Flai', the mercury at
one time got as low as 20, and at
Tampa It was only a few degrees
warmer than that. Nashville reports
that the Cumberlaln River is covered
with ice for the first time In 17 years,
with an early morning official registra
tion of 6 degrees above zero. That is
almost as oold as it was at any time
last Winter in Chicago.
All South Freezing.
A severe cold wave gripped the en
tire South tonight, not even the orange
belt of Florida being exempted from
the freezing temperature. This morn
ing the mercury ranged from 2 degrees

Lots Opposite Residences of Vander
bilt and . Sloan Sold
Unrestricted.
NEW YORK, Dec. 30. (Special.) The
Vanderbilts have given up the struggle
to keep commercial traffic away from the
neighborhood of their Fifth-avenue man
sion. The acknowledgement that they have
submitted to the encroachments of trade
was made today when a real estate brok
erage firm was authorized by William K.
Vanderbilt and his brother-in-law and
neighbor, William D. Sloane, to sell the
lot opposite the Fifth-avenue mansions of
William K. Vanderbilt and his son, Wil
liam K. Vanderbilt, Jr.. without any re
strictions as to its use. Heretofore it
could be had only on agreement that It
should, be used exclusively for residential
purposes.
Mrs. Edward H. Harrlman, who owns
the corner of Fifth avenue and Fifty
second etreet, adjoining this lot, has
joined In this unrestricted authorization,
so that both pieces of property 'can be
sold together.
Vanderbilt and Sloane purchased the
entire plot about elx years ago for $1,350,
000, to present the erection of an apartment-house
on it. B. H. Harrlman took
the corner part of this plot about two
years ago, intending to build a mansion
there, but before his death his design
was abandoned because of the advance of
trade. The owners will doubtless receive
a larger price than the property brought
six years ago.
MATCH FRIGHTENS COUGAR
Prairie City Man Saved by Lighting
Cigarette.
PRAIRIE CITY, Or., Dec. 30. (Special.)
When he paused to light a cigarette,
John Buchanan, walking here alone,
frightened away a cougar that had been
following him stealthily for a mile.
The cougar, it is said by some, was
frightened by the flame of the match.
Mr. Buchanan heard a growl and turned
in time to see the animal scrambling up
the side of the canyon. Trackers went
out the next day and found confirmation
of the story Buchanan told.
DOG CAUSES BITTER FEUD
Charge of Assault With Intent to
Kill Dismissed After Hearing.
ALBANY.- Or.," Dec. 30. (Special.)
Ascertaining that the quarrel -between
James Crockett and C. H. Llndeman, of
Crabtree, in which guns and knives are
said to have figured, was caused merely
by Dlndeman's dog following Crockett,
Justice Swan today dismissed the
charge of assault with intent to kill,
which Llndeman preferred against
Crockett.
Crockett pleaded not guilty and Jus
tice Swan heard the evidence this aft
ernoon, deciding that both men were
at fault in the quarrel.
FLAX SHORT, PRICE SOARS
Cash Article, $2.09 1-2 in Minneap
olis, Highest Figure Yet.
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 30. Cash flax to
day touched the highest point ever known
on the floor of the Chamber of Com
merce when it went up to $2.09!. This
is S'4 cents higher than May flax In
Duluth which is quoted there at $2.06.
The high price is due to the shortage
of flax all over the world and particular
ly in the Northwest. Very little was
offered at the price bid.
RESOLUTIONS ARE INT ORDER.

SCHEME IS NOT POLITICAL
Xatlonui Anti-Trust League Will
AVage War on Combinations That
Increase Cost of Living--Movement
Aided by Women.
WASHINGTON, Dee. 30. Plans for a
National boycott of those combinations
that increase the cost of living were laid
here tonight, when the National Anti
trust League was launched.
Members of Congress are interested in
the new movement and immediate steps
will be taken toward perfecting state or
ganizations. Expect to Kill Markets.
Then, when prices soar, league mem
bens, by stopping the use of such articles
or commodities as have gone above a
certain leVel, will try to put them back
by refusing to furnish a market.
The, plan was tried in Germany a few
years ago, and, according to a report,
broke up a combine that had raised the
price of coffee to an almost prohibitive
point.
Politics Are Barred.
The meeting was informal, and no final
organization was effected. It was un
derstood, however, that the crusade just
begun should go on in the name of the
Anti-Trust League, and that the organiza
tion should be non-political.
As soon as Congress reconvenes a perm
anent organization will be effected.
Among the speakers tonight were mi
nority leader Clark and Congressman Mc
Kinlay, of California. ; .. -
Women to Have Part, Too.
The women of the United States will
be taken into membership on equal terms
with men, and will have equal voice in
the campaign.
A nominal fee will be charged members
to cover the cost of mailing proclama
tions against articles of food that have
been pushed too high in the market.

Back at Washington Again, "Uncle
Joe" Smiles Sarcastically at
' Rumors of His Retreat.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. Speaker Can
non, laden with a few barrels of Christ
mas cigars, returned to Washington to
night and will put in tomorrow at his
office, outlining the work for the coming
Congress. The Speaker spent Christ
mas at his .home in Danville. 111., where
he acted the role of Santa Claus for his
grandchildren.
Everyone who remembered him on the
great holiday appeared to have been in
spired with the one Idea', for his gifts
were practically all cigars, of various
brands and of equally varying excellence.
"Uncle Joe" declared he was in the
best of health, and he looked It.. He de
clined to talk politics to friends, and when
asked about his preparations to meet the
advertised onslaught of the House "in
surgents" he merely smiled. He smiled
even more broadly when inquiry was
made about his reported decision to re
linquish the Speakership. The sarcastic
manner in which his lip curled, "however,
convinced his friends that the rumor
should not be taken seriously.
DAVENPORT TRIFLE WORSE
Complication Develops in Condition
of Noted Cartoonist.
SAN DIEGO, Cal., Dec 30. (Special.)
Homer Davenport the noted cartoonist,
who is seriously ill at the h.ome of A. G.
Spalding, Point Loma, fighting to recover
from a nervous breakdown, was not as
well this afternoon. Mr. Davenport slept
well last night, but today a new complica
tion! threatened.
A sharp pain has developed in the back
of his head, and, while there Is no fever,
the attending physician has not yet de
cided the nature of this latest develop
ment. It will be eeveral days before Mr.
Davenport's condition can be brought
back to where it was yesterday. The
doctors refuse to say whether he will
ultimately recover.
SILVER TON, Or.. Dec 30. (Special.)
Homer Davenport's parents received a
letter from him today which confirms the
report published in The Oregonian yes
terday regarding his illness, but in which
he states that he is on the road to re
covery. He attributes his physical condition to
the fact that he had scarcely any sleep
on the train between New York and Cali
fornia, and his physicians report him con
valescent. DIVORCE EVIDENCE SEALED

announced the cancellation of a contract
under which Harry Lauder, the Scotch
comedian, was to have given an enter

that though the act may be, refined in
every way, we did not want to have the
word go out to the world that the Mor
mon Tabernacle had been used for a

GUTHRIE, Okla., Dec. 30. (Special.)
With the object in view of bolster
ing up the state guarantee banking
law of Oklahoma, which has received
many knocks lately from failures. Gov
ernor Haskell called a meeting for to
day of many of the state bankers. An
attempt was made to enlist aid o
Kansas and Nebraska by Inviting them
also to send delegates to this meeting,
but no one was present.
It was quite clear from the .start
that the bankers were at the mercy of
the Governor and his banking board,
and had nothing to do but pass the
amendments proposed. As a result of
the meeting, however, the entire sepa
ration of the administration of the
state banking law from politics was
advocated.
To carry out this idea the bankers
advocated an entire reorganization of
the state banking board as now con
stituted, and the substitution of a board
composed of the' Governor as ex-officio
member and three other members ap
pointed by the Governor. At present
