Columbus, Ohio Tho " women of Ohio failed in their effort to gain the ballot, according to early returns. While the earliest figures on which this result is based come almost from Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, To ledo and Dayton, it was in those places where the suffragists waged their most determined fights and poli ticians said the result would not be changed by the final returns. The women, it is said, will not give up their fight for the ballot, but plan to use the initiative and referendum to gain another vote. The cities of the state uniformly voted in favor of all amendments but suffrage. The farming communities voted against the amendments as a whole, but there was little likelihood that they could offset the big urban majorities. About half the state vote was cast The initiative and referendum has been adopted, according to the first 950 precincts out of 5197 in the state. It received 63,093 votes for and 33,085 against. The liquor license had car ried by 65,341 to 20,942. The suffrage vote from 950 pre cincts showed 36,063 for to 55,139 against. The country districts were expected to change this result, how ever. The liquor license proposal provides that licenses to traffic in liquor shall be granted, subject to laws that may be enacted by the legislature. It does not affect the present liquor laws. ROOSEVELT THIRD. EAST SUFFERS INTENSE HEAT Weather Bureau Registers 95, Breaking AH Records. Chi cago Gives Up to Humid Wav Five Die and Mny Are Pros trated Corn Crop Aided. Regular Republicans Maintain Lead in Vermont Election. Montpelier, Vt. The Roosevelt Pro gressive ticket ran a poor third in the state elections in Vermont, with the Taft Republicans winning by a vote of almost double that of the Progressive candidate and the Democrats far out numbering the Bull Moose party's vote. In fact the Roosevelt ticket obtained less than one-quarter of the total vote of the state, according to almost complete returns. The Republican plurality, while large, will lack some votes of being a majority, and as a result the election for eovernor is certain to be thrown into the legislature. Returns for governor from 217 out of 246 cities and towns gave: Fletch er, Republican, 2&.602; Howe, Demo crat, 18,250; Metzger, Progressive, 14,220; Smith, Prohibition, 1425; Suiter, Socialist, 1006. The same places in 1910 gave: Mead, Republican, 31,816; Watson Democrat, 15,803; Towle, Probibi tionist, 1052; Ordway, Socialist, 890. Indications from these figures at midnight are roughly that the present vote will total: Republicans, 26,236; Democrats. 19,838; Roosevelt Pro gressives, 16,429. EMPLOYES GET BONUSES. Aggregate of S 70,000 Distributed by Carpet Mills Company. Yonkers, N. Y. Bonuses aggrega ting $70,000 were distributed to 3100 employes in the mills of the Alexan der Smith & Sons Carpet company Wednesday. Men and women who have been in the employ of the com pany 10 years or more received checks for amounts equal to 10 per cent of their wages for the six months ending June 30. Those of between five and ten years standing received 5 per cent bonuses. This was the fourth time within a few years that the firm has thus re membered its older employes. Last March $65,000 was paid to E00 five and ten-year employes and in August, 1911, $40,000 was distributed among the 10-year employes. A few years ago Mrs. Eva Smith Cochran, mother of Alexander Smith Cochran and Gifford Cochran, the heaviest stockholder, distributed $100,000 to the 20-year men and women. The Smith plant is the largest carpet manufactory in the world. Vancouver Has Tong War. Vancouver, B. C. Following re ports of a battle in China, representa tives of the two factions in Vancouver began a riot in Market Lane. All day the Orientals hovered about the bulle tin boards, growing more excited to ward evening and finally some 300 Chinamen mingled in battle, using clubs and stones with disastrous effect. Heads were broken right and left, and the windows of Chinatown were smashed indiscriminately. Although many were struck unconscious, they were spirited away by friends. Battle Won by Chinese. Chicago "Governor Chao Erh Hsun, of Manchuria, haa telegraphed to the government, " says a dispatch from Pekin, China, to the Chicago Daily News, "that General Chang Cho Lin attacked a large force of Mongolians near Tonanfu, defeating them after a 12-hour engagement. The Mongolians lost 1000 killed and 700 taken prisoners. The Chinese captured five guns and much ammunition. Storm Dead Number 40, Pittsburg The task of clearing away wreckage caused by the storm of Sunday night and Monday pro gresses well at hundreds of points throughout Western and Northern Pennsylvania, West Virginia and a portion of Ohio. The list of fatalities now reaches 40. The loss is placed at $2,000,000. The principal sufferers are farmers and railroads, baline ville, O., was almost wiped out by the flood. . i Chicago All heat records for the eason melted away Saturday when government thermometers registered approximately 95 degrees. This was on top of the Federal building, where breeies were blowing, but down in the cavernous streets the heat was above the 100 mark. One death and many prostrations were recorded by the po lice. That the death list is not much larger is due to the fact that this was a half-holiday and thousands of per sons had quit work at noon. The maximum degree or heat was reached at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and continued until after sundown. The entire city wilted and gave up the battle early in the day. The night had been hot and there was no opportunity to store energy against the next day a heat. The proprietors of department stores and factories realizing the unusual situation, di missed as many of their employes as possible and permitted the rem ai rule to drag around as they chose. An in vading army of 15 enegetic men could have captured the entire city with small resistance. Dispatches from cities 'and towns in Illniois, Northern Indiana, Lower Michigan and Wisconsin tell of un usually oppressive heat, which half baked the life and energy out of man and beast alike. Prostrations were reported in many of the smaller cities, and advices from small towns and rural districts tell of horses being killed by the sun's rays. There was one bright spot in the en tire situation and that stood out prom inently in the general picture of mis ery. The torridity is pushing the great corn crop rapidly beyond the peril of early frosts, which now con stitute the chief bugbear in the grain markets. Although tbelweather Sunday was two degrees cooler than Saturday, five deaths of adults from heat were re ported. There were several prostra tions, one of which will result fatally, Ihe temperature reached a maximum of 93, and a 16 mile wind from the southwest served to dispel much of the humidity, which added greatly to the suffering Saturday. The low death rate is due to the fact that few persons were at work. Thousands scattered to the northwest ern resorts to remain until Monday night, and the streets were practically deserted. The lake, on the contrary, was densely populated, boats of every desciption being commandeered to carry the sweltering populace out where they could get air free from the dust and steam of the hot city. The death rate among babies was high and a majority of them practical ly suffocated or fretted themselves in to a state of apoplexy over their suf ferings from the heat. MOBS MENACE NICARAGUA. SCHOOL FRATS CONDEMNED Chicago tiudge Says Societies Are Menace to Law and Order. Chicago "School frats" and secret societes generally were condemned in a decision banded down by Judge John Gibbons, in which he ordered reinsta ted Edward Smith, a former pupil in the Oak Park High School, who was ex- pel led because he was believed to be a member of the high school "frat." The court held there was no evi dence to show that the boy was a member of the secret society. "Societies are and always will be a menace to law and order," said Judge Gibbon. "They inculcate in their members a spirit of insubordination prevarication and falsehood, and thereby indirectly, if not directly, shield from punishment members leagued together by secret pledges and pass words. Greeks Ask Turks to Go. Athens A bellicose mass meeting held in the Greek island of Samos or ganized and sent to the foreign con suls a resolution demanding the de parture of the Turkish troops from the island and a revision of the constitu tion. The Russian consul promised that the troops would leave the island as soon as the island police force was organized. Samos, which lies off the west coast of Asia Minor, a short dis tance southwest of Smyrna, is an aut onomous principality under the sover eignty of Turkey. Canal to Open in Year. Los Angeles Writing a personal letter to Clarence H. Matson, secre tary of the Los Angeles board of har bor commissioners, Colonel George Goethals, chief engineer of the Pana ma canal, said that the big trans-isthmian ditch would be handling inter oceanic traffic in September, 1913. Such handling of traffic, however, ac cording to Colonel Goethala, will be a "try-out," in preparation for the for mal opening a year later. Two Marines Killed. Panama Reliable information from Nicaragua received here is to the ef fect that two American marines have been killed there. Managua, Granada and Masaya are still beleaguered, and the inhabitants of the two latter towns are nearing the point of starvation. I Rebalt, Well Armed, Overrun Courv try and Defy Troops. Washington. D. C With the Nict raguan revolutionists split into small bands of marauding outlaws, as recent reports to the State department seem to indicate, the United States haa on its hands more difficult diplomatic questions to solve regarding tho coun tries of Latin America than ever be fore in history, The apparently spent revolution against the Madero government in Mexico, the attacks of the police of Panama on Americans, the uprising against the Federal government in Cuba and the question of the collec tion of the customs of Santo Doming- on have drawn the State department into difficult relations with the peoplo of those respective countries. A mob of ragged tut well-armed men, according to recent dispatches to the State department, has been wan doring through the country near Man agua, robbing and burning buildings on the outskirts of the capital and ter rorizlng the residents. It is supposed that they were part of a revolutionist band which escaped from the federal forces two days ago. The latest word received from the detachment of 600 marines under com mand of Commander Terhune, U. S. N., which had left Corinto for Man agua over the railroad, was that bridges were down and in many places rails torn up. Marines were expected to reach Managua and restore commu nication within 24 hours. The fate of 125 Americans, who have been prac tically besieged in the Interior, is a matter of speculation, for no authen tic news has been received from them in several days. As soon as the rail road between Managua and Corinto is open it is expected all the foreigners within reach will be taken out of the country. CANAL TO HELP MEXICO. It Government Official Says Country Having Great Awakening. San Francisco Senor Rafael Hern andez, secretary of the Interior of Mexico, who is in San Francisco on a business trip, gave assurances of the friendly attitude of the Madero ad ministration to the United States. "Mexico has awakened to a new realization of its opportunities," said Senor Hernandez, "and it has further realized that its progress must keep pace with that of the States. Mexico will profit by the Panama canal more than any other nation except the United States, having the second long est coast line on the Pacific, and Pres ident Madero is keenly alive to the possibilities of development accruing from the building of the canal." The Mexican statesman, who is ac companied by Albert Madero, uncle of President Madero, and Emerterio de la Garza, his attorney, was enter tained at a luncheon given by repre sentatives of the city administration, and chamber of commerce and the Panama-Pacific Exposition after he and his party had been taken on a trip around the bay. DEATH REVEALS REVERSES. Fred Bormann, Once Theatrical Mag nate, Dies Alone In Hovel. San Francisco Fred Bormann, jan itor, died alone in a squalid lodging house in this city Monday. His body was found propped up in bed in the barren room. Fred Bormann, theatri cal magnate, was an intimate of the bonanza kings many years ago. When the rush to the Comstock, Nev., mines began he threw his fortune into min ing stock. His friends Flood, Fair and Mackay became rich. He be came penniless. A few years ago he cut off all association with his old in timates. Bormann came to San Fran cisco 46 years ago from Germany. Cut Wires Follow Hlea. Nogales, Ariz. Rebels have sur rounded Cananea, where many Amer icans are relocated at the copper camps, and an attack is imminent, it was reported here Tuesday. Bridges leading to the East have been burned by the invaders. An appeal for aid was received by Federal officials from Mrs. Sarah Wood, Southern Pacific agent at Santa Cruz, for herself and 16-year-old daughter. She said that rebels occupied the town. Shorty after her message was received the wires were cut.

Los Angeles Quarantine due to the prevalence of infantile paralysis, which prohibited children under 16 years of age from "attending theaters, Sunday Schools, parks and play grounds for more than a month, has been raised. During August 20 mov- ng-picture theaters were forced to close because of lack of patronage following the quarantine order. Chicago Has 2,326,400.
