SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 4. The out lying precincts of the big counties re ported in force tonight and rolled up a. large majority for the Initiative pro hibition law. One thousand five hun dred and sixty-four precincts gave: For prohibition, 135,298; against, 122, 104. ' The big counties of Spokane and Tierce have nearly all reported, but 118 precincts from King have yet to report. It appeared likely late tonight that the prohibition measure would have 15,000 majority. The new law will go into effect January 1, 1916. It forbids sale or shipment of liquor, even by clubs, but provides that . users of liquor may have limited quantities chipped to them for thir own con sumption, under stringent restrictions. The plurality of United States Sen ator Wesley L. Jones will exceed 20,000. Four Republican Representatives, In cluding three sitting members, were elected, and probably C. C. Dill, a Dem ocrat, won In the Fifth, or Spokane district. This is a Progressive loss of two seats, the Republicans and Demo crats getting one each. The proposed eight-hour law was beaten more than 2 to 1. The proposed constitutional amendment to permit aliens to own land In cities was de feated by a large majority. It was al leged that a Joker In It would have enabled Japanese to hold farming land. The feature of the election was the weeping victory of United States Sen ator W. L. Jones. Representative Wil liam E. Humphrey, of Seattle; Albert Johnson, of Hoquiam, and W. L. Lafol lette. of Pullman, representing the First, Third and Fourth Districts, re spectively, all of whom have been re elected. All are Republicans. In the Second District. Lindley H. Hadley, of Bellingham, 'Republican, is leading John E. Campbell, of Everett, Progressive. Of the other initiative measures the so-called first aid bill, designed to sup plement tthe employers' liability act; the "convict road" bill, providing for etate levies for highways and the use of convicts in road work; and the bill providing for the abolition of the state bureau of inspection and supervision of public offices combining it with the public service commission also seem to have been beaten. Both referendum measures, the teachers' pension bill, providing a re tirement fund for teachers, and the J40.000.000 Quincy Valley Irrigation project have been beaten. The initiative measures providing for the abolition of private employment offices and for a so-called "blue-sky" law probably have carried. For the Supreme Court, Stephen J. Chadwlck, Herman D. Crow and O. R. Holcomb have been elected. DRYS IX PACIFIC ARE AHEAD South Bend Gives Majority, but Ray mond Votes With. "Wets." . SOUTH BEND. Wash, Nov. 4. (Spe cial.)

Beatrice Nelma, mysteriously disap peared last June. Innes and his wife are in jau at an Antonio, Tex., charged with murder and conspiracy to murder In connec tion with the disappearance of the Nelma sisters. SAN ANTONIO. Tex Nov. 4. Upon application of Victor E. Innes and his wife, who are In Jail here unaer in dictment for the murder of the Nelma sisters, of Atlanta, Mrs. Elois Nelms Dennls and Miss Beatrice Nelma. Dis trict Judge Anderson issued tonight an order restraining Sheriff Tobln from delivering the prisoners to offi cers from Atlanta. The court took ac tion on the ground that the charges against the Inneses in Texas murder and conspiracy to murder are more serious than the complaint against them in Georgia, larceny after trust. Governor Colquit has been notified of the court action with the request that he do not honor the requisition believed to have been issued by the Governor of Georgia for the Inneses. The bonds of Innes and wife. S4000 and $2000, respectively, were fixed three weeks ago. in default of which they have remained in Jail. VANCOUVER DRY IN 2 MONTHS Latest Returns Give George Thomp son, Democrat, .Sheriff's Job. VANCOUVER, Wash, Nov. 4. (Spe clal.) For the first time in Vancou ver's history of more than 90 years it will be a "dry" city on and after Jan uary 1, 1915, less than two months .way, as the result of the election, Tues day. The dry forces, which were well organized, were as much surprised as were the wets over the majority of 414 votes In favor of local option. As late as last night, after the polls closed, the drys thought that the state would go dry, but that the local option election would be lost by a small margin. The vote for license was 1395, against 1809. In Vancouver now there are 17 sa loons and two wholesale liquor houses, making 19 stores to be vacated within two months. There are already 46 etores vacant, so the total will be 65 at the beginning of the new year. The great problem now confronting the saloons and liquor houses is how to dispose of their stocks. It is true that some of the liquor dealers have seen the handwriting on the wall and have let -their stocks run down to the mini mum, but they will have large invest ments in bar fixtures.' This makes the third attempt on the part of the drys during the last six years to get local option. From latest returns it looks as . though George Thompson, Dem.. is to be elected Sheriff by at least 25 or 30 votes over Bert Biesecker, the Repub lican nominee. Other results follow, in 32 out of 45 precincts: United States Senator Jones. 2844; Black, Dem, 1421; Barth, 437; Hanson, Prog.. 683; Caton, 164.

WHITE SALMON IS DRY, 3 TO 1 Both Women on Ticket Elected and Democrats Seem In Lead.. WHITE SALMON. Wash.. Nov. 4. (Special.) Election returns here indi cate that White Salmon voted nearly 3 to 1 in favor of the prohibition measure and the alien land ownership bill. While this section is overwhelmingly Republican, the Democratic candidates for Senator and Representative re ceived large majorities. F. E. Flynn, CHICAGO. Jiov. 4. Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman tonight continued to over haul the lead polled by Roger C. Sulli van, Democrat, in Chicago, having only 3589 votes to gain on latest returns, with 422 down-state precincts unrecorded. At the average gain made by Sher man outside Cook County thus far, the missing precincts would give him re election by about 6000 votes. CHICAGO, Nov. 4. With the remote downstate - precincts reporting slowly. Lawrence Y. Sherman, Republican can didate for the United States Senate, tonight cut down the 56,600 plurality rolled up for Roger Sullivan by Chi cago. Reports from 2262 of the 2788 pre cincts outside of Cook County gave Sherman 227,101 and Sullivan 176,403. leaving the Democratic candidate a net plurality of 5902 from his Chicago ad vantage. .If the Republican candidate maintains the same average plurality in each of the 526 remaining downstate precincts, it would give him a down state plurality of 62,270 votes and a net plurality and victory by sbo votes. Republican Gain Decisive. In the Congressional fights, the Re publicans made decided gains, return ing Joseph G. Cannon, former bpeaker of the House, in the Eighteenth Dis trict. William B. McKinley in the Nineteenth and probably William A. Rodenburg, in the Twenty-second Dis trict. If the final count proves Roden burg victorious, the Republicans will have advanced from four to SO members in the lower House, while the Demo crats will have 10 instead of the 20 members in the last House. Ira G. Copley, of the Eleventh District, is the only Progressive, in the place of the former Secretary of State, issued a statement today before sailing for Eng land in which he said that in violating the neutrality of Belgium, Germany broke a treaty which she had made with the United States when she signed articles 1 and 2 of the second Hague conference, which stipulated that the territory of neutral powers shall be inviolate.

Medill McCormick, Progressive N tlonal committeeman, was the one Pro gressive elected, to the State Legisla ture from Chicago. The Democrats will have control of the next State Senate, while the House may be dead locked. The womans' vote seemed to main tain the same proportion of the total cast in each of the three parties.

Most of the state offices were con ceded to the Republicans. Andrew J. Russell, Rep., was elected State Treas urer; Frank G. Blair. Rep., Superin tendent of Public Instruction, and Charles W.
