Birmingham. Ala, Oct. 2S-This (Jef-
ferson) county to-day voted out whisky
by a majority aDproximating 1000, after
highly exciting campaign. The city OF
birmingham gave a majority OF 500
against prohibition, but the rest OF the
, county went heavily for It.
a curious feature is that places like
Ensley and Bessemer, where large iron
works are located. and where hundreds
OF iron workers. supposed to be against
prohibition, the employed, went strongly
against liquor.
Nearly twelve thousand votes were cast,
and the day was marked by spectacular
features. Thousands of women and chill
dren surged the streets throughout the
day carrying aloft pIacards. shouting
their desire for prohibition, singing
hymns, and praying. jefferson Going
Dry" 10 the tune Of Bringing in the
Shcayes. was sung throughout the day.
"Bread or Booze was the placarded
query. and Home or Help" wife or
Whisky" were the warnings from the
white ribboners.
White RfbbOnerS Parade.
As early as $50 o'clock. 5000 women and
children gathered at Capitol Park. pa
raded the streets. and visited polling
places. Every parader wore a white
ribbon. and many carried Prohibition ban
ueTs.
The paraders yelled and sang as they
marched Many ministers and business
men accompanied them. Later the women
gathered at the polling places and served
luncheon and coffee as the men voted.
Similar demonstrations on smaller
scale We're made at many suburban
towns The weather was ideal a heavy
vote was poued.
Public schools Closed.
The schools We're closed. so great was
the interest Of children in it. Birmlng-

CHAUNCtY D. CLARKE
HERE FOR A DAY
En- Route Home to Altadena From
Visit TO Peoria, ILL.,, oeeasioned by
the Death of His Brother.

Chauncey D. Clarke arrived here yes
terdav from Peoria, Illinois, his former
home. where he was called recently by
the illness of his brother, which ended
in his death. His brother, Sumner r.
Clarke, was president Of the Clarke
Brothers Distilling company of Peoria,
and after the death of President Clarke,
c. D. Clarke was named as his success
sor in office. Mr.. Clarke said it is
possible that he may have to return
to Peoria a little later to assume the
personal direction of the business,
though that matter is not yet definitely
settled.
Mr. Clarke and wife were formerly
residents OF this valley for a great
many years and still have a wide ac-
quaintance and a host of personal
friends here. Sometime ago they NOV
ed to Altadena, California, near the
foot of Mount Lowe. where they have
a handsome home. The death of Nj.
Clarke's brother. beside being a most
deplorable family event has worked the
serious disarrangement of formerly
plans for both business and pleasure.
As most Phoenix people know. Mr.. and
Mrs. c. D. Clarke have been wide trav-
elers having visited many parts of the
world on particular tours, somewhat Of
their experiences having been recited
in these columns. Their latest tour
was a trip around the world from
which they returned sometime ago.
1t had been their purpose to spend
the coming summer in touring India in
an automobile. journey that promises
much in novel and peasurable Incl
dent. a new touring car was bought
by Mr.. Clarke and had arrived at his
Altadena home previous TO the receipt
of the news Of his brothers serious
illness. Whether he will yet be able TO
make the tour or not Will depend very
much on business matters that may
develop later. His visit here was mere
~ to confer with Phoenix friends and
representatives concerning local bust
ness affairs in which he is still inter
esJed.

OKLAHOMA HOPELESS
OF A CONSTITUTION
A Delegate Announced Weeks Ago
that it Would be Impossible to Pre-
pare an Acceptable One.

There was one man in Phoenix yes
terday morning perhaps more interest
ed than any other in the telegram
printed by The Republican yesterday
stating that a bill had been introduced
into the house of representatives for
the repeating of the act admitting Ok
lahoma to statehood. he was Fred j.
Dodge OF the secret service of Wells
Fargo & Co.
Mr.. Dodge was however not surprised
though he had not thought that the ad-
mission of Oklahoma would be barred
by congress but by the president. He
had been told weeks ago by Henry Asp
prominent attorney of the Indian
Territory and a member of the consti-
tutional convention that the convention
would never be able to draft a con-
stitution which would be acceptable.
There were too many revolutionary
ideas presented for consideration and
most of them were receiving favorable
consideration.
Mr.. Asp however had put in a reso-
luton with which nobody could find
any fault except the members of the
convention. 1t proved that no member
of the convention should hold an office
under the new state within a period Of
two years.
II has not yet been heard that the
resolution has been adopted, though
from the very nature of it the dele
gates appear to bear aid to turn II
down.

STORY OF DROWNING
REV. A. 6. BODWfll
Dr.. Bond Returns from SolomonVille
After a Vain Search for the Body.

DR.. Bond returned yesterday from
Solomonville where he went a week
ago on receipt of the intelligence of
the drowning of Rev. \. G. BOrdwell
in the ella above Solomonville a week
ago last Thursday night. DR.. Bond
brings the details of the drowning. He
said that Nj. Bodwell was on his way
across the river to hold religious ser
vices. The river was very much
swollen and a Mexican boy had been
employed to lead the way. In mid
stream, the horse Of the guide began
laundering in quick sand and for a
few minutes his attention was close
~ confined to his own affairs. When
he had brought himself out of his
perilous position he looked about to
see what had become Of Mr.. Bodwell.
There was nothing in sight but hat
dancing on the raging current.
The boy made his way 10 the bank
ard gave the alarm and means were at
once set on foot for the recovery of the
body but nothing could be seen of it.
After the arrival of DR.. Bond he took
mp the search and prosecuted i in vain
until day before yesterday when the
hunt was abandoned.
Mr.. Bodwen was living in Tucson
after having spent a short time in
PhOerix. Mrs. Bodwell was there at
the time of the tragedy and she ac-
companied DR.. Bond to SolomOnville
She returned as far as Tucson with
him.
DR.. Bodwell had been a resident of
the territory for a month. He was
forty-two years Of age and had been
in the ministry OF the seventh Day
Adventist church for several years,
previous to coming TO Arizona having
been engaged in the Texas field.
