 Chicago Oct. 29.-That if. every voter believing in prohibition should express his faith at the polls next Tuesday, the Prohibition Party would get the electorai vote of every Stats in the Union. Is the conviction of Eu- gene W. Chain. Presidential candidate of the party mentioned.
 Tn a letter to Charles R. Jones' chair man of the Prohibition National Com. mittee, made public today, Mir. Chain makes the declaration given. and says:
 If our candidates are not elected and we cannot carry out the policies laid down in our platform and destroy the liquor traffic within the next four years. 1t will not be for the reason that we have not people enough in the United States. who believe in our prin- ciples. If any other candidate Is elect ed. 1t will not be by the votes of the bad men oe this country. for they are not In the majority in any State in the Union. If the liquor trafic continues to exist it will be by the sanction and the votes of the Christian Republicans and Democrats who believe in prohibition. but who refuse to leave their old political par ties and vote their principles on the 3rd day of November next"

Central Yer mont. none of which, he declared, had ever been secret, the witness was taken In hand by the governments attorney, who elicited the information that spec ial rates had been Issued to the Stan- dard oil Company
 Pressed as to what other shippers had benefited by this special tariff the witness said that as far as he knew, the rate applied only to the Standard. The extent of the preference accorded to the Standard by the Central Vermont was shown in two letters quoting freight rates per carload. In one ln- stance the rate was given as $33 per carload while in the other case, the rate quoted was $23. The witness ad- mitted that the $2S rate was the one under which the Central Vermont car

 Jersey City. N J., oct. 2s.-The attempt of the defense to establish an alibi for Theodore c. Whitmore. now undergoing trial on the charge of hav- ing murdered his wife last Christmas night, received serious setback to- day when train sheets on the Inter- borough Railroad Company of New York City were submitted in evidence in refutation of the testimony of Train Dispatcher Pulver. who deposed ear- Her in the trial that he saw Whitmore in New York City on Christmas night shortly after dlspatching a train at 1I:30 o'clock.
 Witnesses also were examined who declared that they heard Pulver say that he did not know whether it was 11:30, 12:30 or 1:30 o'clock when he saw Whitmore.
 A number of boon companions and associates of Whitmore were examined during the day. Their testimony for the most part bore out that of Whit more himself and corrobora his re- cital of his movements on the night of the crime. The case win be con- tinued tomorrow.
