Women's Christian Temperance
Cnlon Delegate Says Prohibition
Wraps Railway World.
BALTIMORE. Nov. IS. When the Na
tional Women's Christian Temperance
I'nion entered on the fourth day of its
annual convention here today. Rev. Mec
ca Vnrney, National superintendent of
franchise, reported that most effective
work had been done In woman suffrage
rampalms in Washington, Oregon and
South lakota.
MtthodH for preventing continued
crimes' In thia country were discussed by
aVh'ca'es. the subject being suggested
by the report of Mr. J. K. Barnly, of
Rhode Island, aiiirlntendent of the
pcnhl reformatory and police station
work.
Mrs. Barnly reported that much effect
ive work had been done and that her
department might safely boast of an
Increase of almost 100 per cent In pre
ventive and constructive measures, while
the redemption agencies had been great
ly magnltled.
Mrs. Kvelyn N. Graham, of New York.
National superintendent of the railway
department, said the progress of prohibi
tion last year has had its influence upon
the entire railroad world, until practi
cally every railway system In the United
Stat.ie demands that Its employes be

Mrs. H. E. Holllngshead, of Cleveland,
Ohio, who Is leading the Union's fight
against the use of alcoholic wine in
church sen ices, was emphatlo In declar
ing that "the W. C. T. U. will keep tell

RATE PROBLEM TACKLED
TRAFFIC 3IEN DISCXSS LOXQ
AND SHORT-HAUL CLAUSE.
Chicago Meeting; Hopes to Agree on
Policy to Present to Commission
at Washington.
CHICAGO. Nov. 15. (Special. One of
the biggest questions affecting the -railroad
bixlness of the country ts to be
taken up by trafflo officials of the trans
continental railroads at a meeting her
tomorrow. The application of the long
and short-haul clause of the commerce
act on transcontinental and Inter-moun-taln
rates Is the subject to be taken up.
The railroad men will attempt to deter
mine Just what effect the clause will
have on these revtes and will decide what
policy to present to the Interstate Com
merce Commission at a hearing In Wash
ington on November 22.
The decision reached by the Com
merce Commission will "nave a country
wide effect. Rates to the Pacific Coast
from the Atlantic seaboard and Chi
cago are low on account of water com
petition. Until recently stations in the
mountains, like Spokane. Reno, Salt
I.ake City and Phoenix have had much
higher rates, but the Commission haa
reduced them until they are slightly
lower than the Coast rates.
The rate per mile to these stations,
however. Is higher than that to the
Coast and complaints on this point are
continuous.
The railroad officials will attempt to
devise some system tnat will permit
an adjustment of rates, satisfactory to
the Commission under the long and
short haul clause, but expressions to
day were that It probably will be Im
possible. GILL OK'S RECALL EXPENSE

Also Seek Senatorshlp.
HELENA. Mont. Nov. lB.Speeal.)
Thomas H. Carter, Republican, will
be succeeded in the nexAFederal Senate
br a Democrat, the offtXal canvasses
completed today having; resulted In a
net Democratic gain of two members
one eacn In House and Senate. Here
tofore these had been claimed by the
Republicans on unofficial returns. The
countlns; was completed today In Lewis
and Clark. Silver Bow, Custer and Gran
ite counties, with the net results indi
cated.
The official returns give the Democrats
M votes on joint ballot. Although It had
been previously announced that the offi
cial canvass would not be made In Cus
ter County until November IS, the County
Commissioners In that county met today
and canvassed the returns, which gave
W. W. Terrett. Democrat, for the Legis
lature H plurality over Freeman, the
Republican candidate. The Republican
vote on Joint ballot Is 48.
The trouble at Butte was amicably set
tled, the Sheriff serving In lieu of one
of the Commissioners, who bad gone to
Chicago.
There are three candidates for the Sen
ate as Carter's successor, T. J. Walsh,
a wealthy lawyer; W. O. Conrad, a mil
lionaire banker and mining man of Hel
ena, and probably W. A. Clark, the
Butte mining man.
In addition to these, there are men
tioned W. B. George, of BlUlngs. and
Cornelius F. Keller, a prominent Butte
lawyer. There is some talk of Governor
Norrls. and It Is conceded that he would
make a strong candidate were It not for
the fact that the Lieutenant-Governor
Is a Republican and that Norrls" elec
tion to the Senate would give the Re
publicans complete control of the state
administration.
The present Indications are that the
great battle will be fought between
Walsh and Conrad and. If neither can
be elected, some "dork horse" will be
brought forward.
The only Republican hope now rests
upon the Silver Bow content. Helena Re
publicans admit the election of a Demo
cratic Legislature. Senator Carter re
fused to moke a statement.

LICENSE REFUND ORDERED
Saloon Man Wins Salt Brought
Against Pierce ''County.
OLYMFIA, Wash., Nov. 15. (Special.)
Under a decision of the Supreme Court
In the case of F. J. Bart against Pierce
County, Pierce County Is directed to re
fund to him 90 per cent of the unearned
nortlon of his liquor license money.
Bart secured a county license to eon-
duct a saloon at Wilkeson In April. 1909.
In July the town Incorporated, and In
October he had to tae out . lown li
cense. The county license was then In
operative and be asked a refund, which
the Commissioners refused.
Suit started In the county won him a
Judgment of 66 per cent of the unearned
money, as lt per cent naa gone 10 in
state and 25 to the school districts of
Pierce County. The Supreme Court says
the county is liable for the money paid
to the schools, as It Is unfair to make
him sue each school district for the
small amounts each received, and this
makes the county responsible.
