M. glade or the Ma weema, all schooners which have been lying in the lower harbor. One of these was seen to pass out by Jetty employes. The launch Alexander, the mall boat between Hoquiam and Westport. was icported in trouble in the lower harbor and fears have been entertained for her safety. Starlight AIM Ashore.

How a stick of dynamite came to be placed on th'e Oregon Electric tracks just this Side of Varley. and less than a mile from Cornelius, Is a mystery that special agents of the Oregon Elec tric are trying to solve.

Whether Ralph Lopez, the slsyer of five peace officers and a fellow-Mexican, lay dead In the Utah-Apex mine, or whether, avoiding tho deadly gases In the mine, he still planned a dash for liberty, waa a question unanswered to night.

PoUoaewa Gases Ceatlaued. Since early morning, through open ings In the bulkheads constructed at each of the tunnel mouths, poisonous gases have been directed. Tonight an automobile, carrying 1000 pounds of sulphur was rushed here from Salt Lake City In order to keep the smudges going until a fresh supply-arrived on the train tomorrow morning. In ad dltlon to sulphur all the chemicals! capable of generating poisonous gases that could be obtained here were being used In the smudges.

LOSERS EXPECTED TO CONTEST Pendleton Turns Down Com mission Form Heavily. CITY POLLS HEAVIEST VOTE Larly Returns Indicate Complete Rout or Socialists at Albany. Women Active In Many Cities but Vote Light Generally. SALEM. Or, Dec. 1. (Special.) For the second time In one month the anti saloon clement lias made a clean sweep in this city, the amendment to the city charter to prevent the licens ing of saloons having won at the elec tion today by a majority of about 70". The majority for local option at tho November election was 1ST. Rxplanatlon of the Increased major ity Is that the saloonincn did nut mako aa determined a fight at the election today as at the other one. and that they bavo determined to make their final stand In the courts. Every ward iu the city gave a majority for ttc amend ment. In Ward 1. It. N. Hoover, "dry" can didate defeated William Gilchrist, "wet candidate, by a majority of 6 and James UcClellan, "dry" candidate, defeated W. 1L Dalrymplc, "wet can didate, by a safe majority. The only other charter amendment, besides that to prevent the licensing of saloons, that appears to have car ried is that providing for public play grounds. One providing for a three mill tax levy for street and highway maintenance was defeated by a large majority. When it became evident that the charter amendment had been carried by a large majority, the liquor Interests declined to say what action would ba taken in an effort to keep the saloons open. They will hold" a conference with their attorneys tomorrow and it Is not Improbable that a mandamus suit will be brought to compel the City Council to Issue licenses on the ground that the ordinance providing that persons reg istered uuder the permanent registra tion law, which was declared Invalid by the Supreme Court, could vote today upon showing their certificates of reg istration, is Illegal. Legal Coa teat Proaalaed. There also is a report that the saloon Interests mill file suit to enjoin the City Recorder from issuing an oidur declaring the reault of the election to day. The failuro of the City Council at a meeting tonight to renew the saloon licenses which expired last Saturday night Indicates that such action will not tc taken. An adjournment was taken until tomorrow night without any business having been considered. It is evident that the saloonmen pin their greatest faith in eventually win ning on the outcome of the suit to have the November election for local option declared Illegal. Circuit Judge Gallo way so held, basing his opinion upon i contention that the election should have been held on the date of a reg ular state election, or a regular city election, the November election being a special one for the reference of state measures. Coart IJeelaloa Awaited. He held that the time for a regular city election was the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. It probably also will be contended by the saloonmen that the election for the amendment to the city charter, pro hibiting the licensing of saloons, should be held at the time of a regular city election. It became evident early in the count that the amendment had carried by a large majority. The Third Ward, which gave a majority of 23 against prohibi tion at the November election, gave a majority of 29 for the amendment to day. Other wards showed similar gains, and the saloonmen were not Ion-; in admitting their defeat. The election was a quiet one, and there was no dis order at any of the voting places.
