PORTLAND, Me, Sept. 11 Maine
Republicans, reinforced by returning
Progressives, won a signal victory at
the election today. --
They elected a Governor, an Audi
tor, two United States Senators and
four Representatives in Congress and,
wresting control of the state House
of Representatives from the Demo
crats, will be able on joint vote of the
Legislature to elect the other state
officers not chosen by popular vote.
. Carl E. Milliken led his ticket, de
feating Governor Oakley C. Curtis,
who sought re-election, by a plurality
of approximately 13,000.
County Offices Won, Too.
The Republican drift extended to
county officers, the greater number
of counties choosing Republican
County Attorneys and Sheriffs. These
offices are important locally because
the holders are charged with enforc
ing the ' prohibition law.
The vote was heavy, as had been
expected, for the campaign had been
waged with a determination not 'seen
in recent years. Ihe country was
searched out for speakers of National
prominence and the greater number
of these battled on National issues
The fight was particularly hot for the
' two United States Senatorships and
the four places held by Maine in the
lower House at Washington. National
defense, the tariff and the eight-hour
law for railroad men loomed large in
the speeches.
Moose Return to Fold.
United States Senator-elect Fred
v jerick Hale tonight sent a telegram to
Charles E. Hughes, who had shared
in the campaign, claiming that the
vote was an indorsement of Hughes'
candidacy for the Presidency. Gov
ernor Curtis issued a statement as
serting that anything less than a Re
publican plurality of 15,000 would in
dicate that the people of Maine
wished to uphold the President.
The- Progressives, who two years
ago cast 18,226 votes, returned large
ly to the Republican party in the opin
ion of Republican leaders. The closest
fight was for Congress from the Sec
ond District, where Representative
Daniel J. McGillicuddy was defeated
by Wallace H. White, Jr., by 500
plurality.
Popular Democrat Defeated.
United States Senator Charles F.
Johnson, whose wide personal popu
larity had given the Democrats great
hope of his return, was defeated by
Frederick Hale, son of the ex-Senator,
by approximately 9500 votes. "For the
short-term seat in the Senate, ex
Governor Bert M. Fernald defeated
Kenneth C. M. Sills, dean of Bowdoin
College,' by 12,000.

SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. 11. Vilhjal
mur Stefansson, the Canadian explorer,
is probably still continuing his Inves
tigation of the new Island or continent
which he discovered last year north of
Prince Patrick Island, according to Dr.
RudolDh M. Anderson, commander of
the southern branch of the Canadian
expedition which, went north In the
Summer of 1918. and who returned to
Seattle today.
The expedition was divided Into two
parts, the northern, under Stefansson,
which was to seek new land In the
Polar Sea. and the southern, under
Dr. Anderson, which was to make
topographical and geological survey of
the country east of the mouth, of the
MacKenzie River, especially the copper
deposits.
Stefansson Finds New Land.
Stefansson found new land and An
derson found and mapped vast areas of
lava containing copper deposits on Cor
onatlon Gulf and Bathurst Inlet, work
able by surface mining and the ore
transportation to the MacKenzie River
by construction of a railroad through
a country comparatively level and pre

quantities of supplies for the Summer
work. Caribou are to be found on the
new continent, but not musk ox.
Nothing Is known of the result of
the Summer's exploration. Stefansson
said there was a possibility that he
would come soutn in late Summer and
leave for Nome with his three power
boats and all his effects, but as noth
ing has been heard of htm at Nome
it is believed he decided to continue
his explorations until the polar sea was
frozen over, and then return by sledges

All of this comedy was enacted by
Mr. Ford when he and his wife and
party arrived at the Union Depot from
Seattle in their private car Philadel
phia at 5:20 o'clock yesterday.
In the meantime, however, a di
version was being created in his favor
by P. L. D. Perry, of London, who
said he was managing director of the
Ford business in Europe.
Mr. Perry descended upon the plat
form side of the car and engaged
folks gathered there in genial conver

it would be impossible quite so for
any of them to see Mr, Ford, or Mrs.
Ford, either, for that matter. One of
them, was so unfortunate as to per

- Mr. Perry bored him with a look.
Do you know what we would say to

quired. We would say 'No!' And it
would be "No!" "
Crowd Paraaca Mr. Ford.
Having enjoyed his little Joke on the
reporters and others assembled, Mr.
Perry remarked that It was too late
to see Mr. Ford, anyway, because he
had left the train.
This shot went home. There was
general scattering to see how Mr. Ford
had made his escape.

DARK MOTOR DESCRIBED
Neighbor, Counted On by Defenae
to Identify Thomrtfon as Man
Talked To at Home on Mur
der Night, Fails to Do So.
HILLS BO RO. Or.. Sept. 11. (Spe
cial.) Bennett Thompson's alibi was
offered today. Except for his own tes
timony, which, will be given tomorrow.
as to his actions the night of the jit
ney murders and in explanation of the
blood-stained shirt which has been
traced to his home, his complete alibi
was set forth.
One witness testified that Thompson
was at his home. 7109 Forty-second
venue, " Portland, at the time when
Mrs. Helen Jennings was slain in her
sleep and Fred Ristrnan was murdered.
This witness was Mrs. James Thomp
son, sister-in-law of the accused man,
the woman whose efforts obtained the
parole of Thompson from state's prison
when he had more than nine years of
a sentence for highway robbery still
to serve.
Thompson Biot Seen at Hone.
Her statement was corroborated in
but one instance. Herbert John Ames,
of 7103 Forty-second avenue, a neigh-'
bor. testified that he heard what he
thought was a man's voice in tbe
Thompson home that night. Airs. Ames
said she heard her husband taikng to
a man in their yard that night. At
torney Huston said, when District At
torney Tongue objected (a her evidence
along this line, that her husband would
testify that this man was Thompson.
He did not.
"No, air, I don't remember seeing him
Monday evening," answered Mr. Ames
to the query whether or not he had seen
Thompson the night of the murders.
Woman Met la Back Yard.
"Did you .talk to anyone in the back
yard?" persisted Attorney Huston.
" I do not remember talking to any
one that night," was the positive
answer.
- He went on to say that he was in
his yard, which adjoins that of Thomp
son, several times between the hours
of 7 and 10 the night of May 15, but
that he did not see anyone but Mrs.
Thompson.
"1 beard someone talking. I supposed
it was a man from the tone of tr.o
voice," was Mr. Ames' only corrobora
tive assertion. This Was about ' .o0,
he eaii. when Mrs. Thompson was
preparing supper.
Two witnesses gavs testimony that
Thompson wore a seJmon-colored un
dershirt the Sunday before the mur
ders and a similar one the morning fol
lowing, which was Tuesday. Tho
graphite-marked undershirt is brown.
Kaowledge of Motor Denied.
Every witness for the defence who
had known Thompson for any length
of time testified that Thompson had
not been seen driving an automobile
and that he never demonstrated any
particular knowledge of machinery.
. State Prosecutor Tongue was well
pleased with today's developments.
"Not a single disinterested witneea
was produced who could swear that
Thompson was at his home." he com
mented. "No one lias yet questioned
the shirt Identifications. Thompson
will have some tall explaining to do
tomorrow."
Defense Yet Confident.
Attorney Koscoe. Hurst remains con
fident. "Thompson will clear up all remain
ing doubts of his innocence tomorrow,"
he pre1 k-ed.
In addition to Thompson, the defense
has about ix more witnesses to testi
fy. There are three physii lans and F.
C. Jellison. proprietor of the Fulton
filling station, who may not be found,
and Lou Riggs. who was traced to As
toria by Sheriff Reeves yesterday and
served with a subpena. to which he
fhouk answer tomorrow.
Mrs. James Thompson testified tt
Thompson's actions the night of the
jitney murders as follows:
"Ben was over town all day Monday,
but came home between 7 and 9 o'clock.
It was not yet dark. He stayed home
all night, as far as I know. I fixcl
him a lunch when he came home an 1
he went to bed at f o'clock. I am quite
sure he went to bed.
Presence at lerht Asserted.
"In the after part of the night Ben
got tip to fix the baby's milk. In the
morning he got up at 6:30 or 7 and
went to the butcher shop shortly after.
He brought home some pork chops for
breakfast, lie was home all day Tues
day, but went over town Wednesday
after doing the washing. Since th-?
baby was born he washed everything
except what 1 washed by hand."
Mrs. Thompson was reluctant to dis
cuss her domestic relations. She said
that xhe and her husband, James
Thompson, had a little trouble arnf
have not been living together for about
two years, although he sees her and
stays a day or so with her occasional-
