"ITS" WIN IN
"DRY" OLD MAINE
Election Over Prohibi
tion Very Close.
LICENSE MEN 904 AHEAD
Cities for Repeal, Outlying Dis
tricts Against it.
INTEREST IS VERY KEEN
Fair Weather Prevails Throughout
State and People Are Out Early
to Express Selve on Retention
of Antl - Liquor Lav.
PORTLAND, Me, Sept. 11. Unoffi
cial and only partly revised returns
from 499 out of 621 cities, towns and
plantations In Maine today gave a
majority of 904 for repeal of the pro
hibition clause of the state constitu
tion. The missing 22 towns cast less than
185 votes at the state election three
rears ago. The vote by Congressional
districts follows:
Against
repeal.
15,473
15.220

District For.
rim 17.3S2
Second 15.9:2
Third 13.457
Fourth 14.011
Totals 60.TS2 59.878
Unless the vote of the 22 towns
which had not reported late tonight is
against repeal, the advocates of liquor
licenses have won. The fact, however.
that these votes are still out, together
- tvith errors incident to the collection of
returns by telephone, leaves the exact
result in some doubt.
Rural Regions "Dry."
One hundred and twenty thousand
voters cast their ballots on the ques
tion. The cities were the chief strong.
, holds of the repeal faction, but the ma
jority of 12,000 in the total city vote
was barely sufficient, according to the
latest available returns, to offset the
vote of the rural regions.
Although today's vote did not equal
that of a year ago, 'when the Democrats
swept the state, which for years had
been a Republican stronghold, the elec
tion ended an Interesting, contest.
Interest Is Keea.
There was not a home in any part
of the state which was not flooded
with literature by both sides, while the
voters were waited on by personal
workers and harrangued at public
ratherlngs to cast their ballots for or
gainst repeal.
The result was that hundreds of vot
ers who had not visited the polls for
years, with the possible exception of
last year, were recorded today. Little
excitement attended the voting.
Bath, the first place to count the
vote In today's special election, favored
repeal of the prohibitory law, 1138 to
163. In 1834 Bath voted for prohibi
tion, 920 to 414.
Weatker la Clear.
Weather throughout the state was
clear ideal for an election. The morn
ing vote In the cities was even larger
than was anticipated and In many
places fully one-third of the entire
vote was cast by noon. In the man
ufacturing centers the heaviest vote
was deposited during the noon hour.
Both sides worked bard to get out
the early vote and automobiles and
carriages of every description were
pressed Into service to carry Invalids
and indifferent voters to the polls.
Prayer-meetings were held through
out the day In many churches.
Special Seaatoa Possible.
If the license advocates are sucees
ful today there is said to be every
possibility that Governor Plalsted may
be prevailed to call a special session
of the Legislature to take action on
the repeal of the statute law, which is
in effect the same as the constitutional
amendment and the enactment of an
other law for the regulation of the
liquor business.
A local option law such' as prevails in
Massachusetts is what the license ad
vocates seek. In the regnlar course of
events the matter would not come up
before the Legislature until January,
1915, when the complexion of the state
government might be much different
from that of the present day.
State-wide primaries, another ques
tion voted on. was favpred by Andros
coggin County, the only county on
which complete figures are available.
by 6102 to 1617.
Maine "Dry" Since 1857.
Since 1857 Maine has had a statute
prohibiting the sale of Intoxicating
liquors and since 1884 prohibition has
been a part of the constitution. In
1884 the question of placing prohibi
tion in the constitution was put be
fore the people and prohibition won by
a majority of 45,948, carrying every
county in the state. Following this the
attacks of the anti-prohibitionists
ceased for a time only to be renewed
in later years.
The Democratic party last year made
the question of the submission of the
constitutional amendment a plank' In
Its platform. The Democrats swept the
state in the election and the Legisla
ture, aided by some Republlcaps, voted
to put the question before the people.

and sewers.
The hail was accompanied by a high
wind an-1 a fall of rain almost equal

so heavy that it was Impossible for one
to see more than half a block. Several

Commissioner of Licenses Notifies
Theaters They Must Not Exploit
Any Phase of Case.
NEW YORK. Sept 11. (Special.)
James Q. Wallace, Jr., Commissioner of
Licenses In Mayor Gaynor's office, sent
out letters' today notifying all of 600
or more moving-picture showhouses
in New York that no moving-pictures
or other - views representing scenes
from the trial of Henry Clay Beattie.
Jr., for the murder of his wife, or in
any way connected with the case, may
be presented by them under penalty of
having their licenses suspended or re
voked. Mr. Wallace added In reply to
a Question that the prohibition would
refer to any films presenting Beulah
Blnford in connection with the Beattie
case.
Mr. Wallace said: "This is not a
censorship of films. I am acting under
chapter 7 of the code of ordi
nances, which makes it discretionary
with the Commissioner of Licenses to
suspend or revoke the licenses of any
moving-picture houses which he deems
to be improperly conducted. ,
"I would deem the revoking of li
censes to be in the interest of publio
morality In case such pictures should
be shown."
PENDING LEGISLATION HIT
Discarding Wooden Equipment
Would Cost Roads $630,000,000.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1L F. O. Melcher,
vice-president of the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific, in a letter published
here, calls attention to the serious na
ture of pending railway legislation in
tended to safeguard employes and pas
sengers. He points out for example,
that one bill introduced into Congress
requiring all roads to discard their
wooden equipment after January 1,
1912, would cost the railroads more
than $630,000,000. Other bills now
pending, would require .the roads to
enlarge their clearances at a cost of
$444,000,000 and to install the univer
sal block signals at a cost of $287,000,
000. Xo comply with these three ' laws
would call for an expenditure by the
railways of $1,361,000,000. This Is 10
per cent of the net capitalization of all
the roads in the United States, which
amounted to $14,330,575,000 at the end
of 1910.
SOLDIERS OBEY "VOICE
Compelling Tone of Civilian Marches
Company to Ship.
SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 11. (Spe

to Nome on the Senator to relieve the
company at a Northern post, were as
tonlshed yesterday when in the failure
of their regular commander to appear
to march them aboard, a stranger In
civilian clothes stepped forward, giving
the .proper orders to fall Into line and
march on board.
The self -commissioned commander
was unknown to them, but so forceful
was the ring of authority in his voice
that they complied without question.
The man who gave the order was
Frank J. Harper, city passenger agent
of a local steamship company, a former
major in the Canadian Mounted Police
and a veteran of the Boer War.
SS reticent has Harper always been
that his assistants in the office were

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 11. With the
steady trade wind of the Pacific at his
back, Robert G. Fowler, the first avi
ator to attempt a transcontinental
flight, sped today up the fertile Sacra
mento Valley and landed at 6:36 o'clock
this evening at' the foot of the white
ramparts of the Sierras, the conquest of
whose summit may prove the ultimate
test of success or failure for his at
tempt With a brief halt at Sacramento for
oil and gasoline, ho drove his biplane
high over the rolling foothills and
landed without a single untoward in
cident at Auburn, Cal., 126 miles from
his starting pqint.
Mother's His Speeds.
Sped by a mother's kiss and "God
bless you." Fowler rose from the sta
dium In Golden Gate Purk at 1:37 this
afternoon. Sweeping In a circle over
the surface of the Pacific, his air craft
swung like a compass needle until his
forward planes were notched Into the
gap In the snow line of the Sierras
through which he hopes to pass.
Then with the cheers of thousands
billowing up to him, he sped over the
city, swerved past the ferry tower,
skimmed over the fighting masts of the
cruisers at anchor In the bay with a
hand wave of greeting, and hummed
steadily over the trail first worn by
the Argonauts of '49.
Good Time IS Made.
Over Berkeley, Sulsun. Cannons and
Elmira he sped, flying with the same
steadiness and control that marked
his start The watches that checked
his progress showed that he was mak
ing a steady 45 miles an hour and he
never varied from that pace.
As he swept high over the dome of
the State Capitol at Sacramento, a roar
from the thousands massed In Eagle
Park directed him to his landing place.
After a daring spiral glide, he settled
easily to the ground, pulled the cotton
from his ears and shouted:
"Well. I'm here, boys. What time Is
it 7"
Ho was told it was 3:37 o'clock. He
had covered the 90 miles of the first
leg of his journey in exactly two hours.
Great Trip, Says Fovrler.
It was a great trip," he said. "I
had not the slightest engine trouble
and the 'feel' of the air even over
Carquinez straits, was perfect."
He announced that he would con
tinue to Auburn tonight aud his
mechanicians who had followed him in
a special train, fought their way
through the mob about the machine and
prepared for the continuation of the
Journey.
While his engine was being groomed.
Fowler strolled over to the Capitol and
called on Governor Johnson.
"I am delighted to see you." said the
Governor. "We all hope most sincerely
that you will reach your destination
safely."
Fowler Johnson's Message.
"Have you any message for the Gov
ernor of New York?" asked Fowler.
"Only yourself," replied the Gover
nor. "You will be our best message
from California."
After a hurried meal Fowler re
turned to the Agricultural Field, ac
companied by Governor Johnson.
Fowler slipped back Into the driv
ing seat at 5:56 o'clock, signalled the
mechanics and with "God speed" of
the Governor was off. He covered IS
miles from Sacramento to Rosevllla
in 19 minutes and the 23 miles from
Rosevllle to Loomis in 26 minutes.
Darkness Halts Flight.
He maintained a speed of E4 miles
an hour from Sacramento to Auburn.
It began to grow dark as he left New
castle, shortly after 6 o'clock, and he
decided to descend at Auburn rather
than risk losing his way In an attempt
to reach Colfax, the stopping point
originally scheduled.
As he flew over Auburn he shouted
his Intention to descend to the crowd
and circled slowly around the dome of
the Placer County Courthouse until a
space had been cleared for him to
alight.
He descended without accident at 6:36
o'clock and announced his intention of
