ATLANTIC CITY April 1


ATLANTIC CITY. April 12. l9oS
Palm Sunday dawned clear and bright
but not as warm was expected or de-
sired. There was a strong wind blowing
from the west and there was just hint
of icicles about 1t that compelled people
to stick to their heavy wraps when they
would have donned their spring toys. all
of which the visitors had brought with
them in anticipation of a warm day on
the Boardwalk and a chance for fashion
display. But the best laid pans of mice
and men, etc. and SO the visitors had to
stick to their winter wraps and be con-
tent that the day was not anywhere near
as bad as yesterday.
The wind blew a veritable hurricane for
few hours yesterday and played more
pranks with the promenaders on the
Boardwalk than was ever known before.
There were times at certain parts of the
walk when it was almost impossible to
hold ones footing against the gaze,
and in many instances it tore roller
chairs from the hands of attendants and
ran them into the ratings of the Board
walk, shocking the nerves of the occu-
pants and breaking the glass windows of
the chairs where they were so equipped.

Washington. May 2.-The republican members Of the house of representa- tives will hold two caucuses next week. the first on Tuesday night and the second on Friday. night
 At the Tuesday night meeting the members will decide whether there shall be any financial legislation by congress during the present session. The second caucus will consider the advisability' other important legis- latiOn of injunction by federal courts Sherman antitrust law and the regu- lation of injunction b yfederal courts.
 At the meeting there will be a decid- ed effort to have the second Freeland bill recommended as a currency mea- sure, which the house should pass at the present session, but it was expect ed that the effort will be vigorously opposed by a number of members who hold the opinion that legislation go no further at this time than to make provision for q currency com mission.
 Both ,caucuses will be in the nature of conferences. and neither will be ab- solutely binding on members. but it is expected as usual, that most if not all the republican representatives will consider themselves under obligations to support any measure that may be agreed upon. especially if it be advO cated b" very large majority of their fellows

Prohibition was defeated at the county local option election yesterday by a considerable margin of the re- quired two-t thirds vote, though it se- cured a majority vote about fifty three per cent. Though the result was not widely different from what had generally been predicted. some of the details were more or less surprising. There was d much heavier wet vote in Phoenix than the most confident of the anti-prOhibitiOnists had counted upon and notwithstanding the light vote in the country the prohibition vote was greater than anybody had supposed it would be. Several pre- cincts which had been expected to go wet went dry, among them Gila Bend
 The bulk of the vote in PhoeniX-Eas put in early so that by one o'clock in the afternoon it was thought that the record would be broken. By the mid de of the afternoon predictions as to

THE SQUADRON
 CUT IN TWO
To Be Divided Between Monterey and Santa Cruz
The Latter Extends a Hos pitable Greeting to Its Half.

Monterey, May 2.-The Atlantic fleet split in two in order that the celebra- tion of the stay in Monterey Bay might be carried forward simultane- ously in this city and Santa Cruz, twenty miles away. The first squad ron lifted anchor soon after dawn and sailed away to Santa Cruz. Eight vessels of the second squadron will re- main here until Monday afternoon when they also will go to Santa Cruz and stop twentyfour hours to make the fleet once more complete.
 Today has been rather quiet but an enjoyable one for the men and officers of the second squadron. For the for mer there were boxing bouts. base, ball games and boat races. Large liberty parties came ashore and enjoyed roaming about the streets of the quaint old town.
 A large party of officers were taken on the famous seventeen mile drive as guests by Mayor Jacks and later en- tertained at d reception and tea at the mayors home Tonight a nav al and military ball given at the Del Monte by the management of the hO-
 
 officers here and by large party of army officers from the presidio of Monterey. The large ball room hotel proving too small for the occasion, the big dining room was transformed into bower of bunting and flags. The affairs was the largest of the kind ever held here.
 The Missouri blew out high pres sure cylined head of a port triple expansion engine on the way to Santa Barbara from Los Angeles and was found not to be able to accompany the Fleet even as far as San Francisco. but with engines compounded crip- pied cylinder entirely cut out, she made eleven knots, without difficulty and participated in the maneuvers off Port Harford with perfect alignment.

Washington. May 2.-The passage by paragraph, under suspension of the rules. of the sundry civil appropriation bill. was continued in the house to- day. The consideration of the para graph making appropriation for the geological survey was postponed by agreement until Monday. until which time further consideration of the bill will be postponed.
 The house, after spirited and some what acrimonious debate passed a bill authorizing the appointment by the president of an additional member of the Philippine commission.

the result in the city began to be made with so much accuracy that the count a few hours later sustained them. Though it had been suspected that the city would cast a small ma jority against prohibition it was confidently claimed by the prohibitionists and conceded by the antis that the sec ond ward would be dry by a comfort able majority. It was estimated a lit tie afternoon that the vote was run ming even It kept it up through the rest of the day with the result that anti prohibition had majority of three votes.
 1'he election in Phoenix and Mesa was unique on account of the part the women and children took in it. Early fn tke morning vehicles laden with school children and their teachers were on the streets which were made lively with fiuttering flags, college cries and temperance songs. This demonstration was maintained until

the middle of the afternoon by which time the vote had been practically all cast. It was impressive and no doubt had the effect of increasing to some extent the vote for prohibition.
 The slump in the temperance vote in this city is attributed mainly to the failure of the prohibitionists to show how the town could spare the money derived from liquor license for the coming year Many said that if they could be assured that the city would not suffer from lack of street sprink- ling until the amount lost in licenses could be made up by an Increased val nation of property for purposes of tax alton, they would vote to close the sa- looms. The day was one. too. to strengthen the arguments of the antis who pointed to the flying dust as an earnest of The conditions which would prevail if prohibition carried; they said the town would be both literally and figuratively dry.
 Notwithstanding the intense excite ment taken in the contest there was no disorder at the polls and compar- atively little challenging of voters was indulged in. Both parties devoted themselves quietly to getting out their strength. The beginning of the count in the city polling places showed how the day had gone and so unexpectedly overwhelming was the run in favor of the antis that it was believed that the prohibition vote would be much less than fifty per cent of the total vote. But when the returns began to pcur in from the country it was seen that the general result would not be widely different from what had been anticipated -
 At a late hour last night only the precincts of Orme, Fowler, ScOttsdale. Cave Creek. Fort McDowell and Me ridian had not been heard from. They will slightly swell the dry vote.
 The result according to returns from the city and the country by telephone and telegraph is, as follows:

hued flowers, over which the auto mobiles were dtiven. Returning to the pavilion. Admiral Thomas and his of ficers held reception lasting until. late in the afternoon.
 At night the ships were illuminated. by a display of fireworks given on the beach. The city was also illuminated. Tomorrow a free excursion will be given to the enlisted sailors and ma rincs to -hc Big Trees. six miles fr1fn Santa Cruz.
 The city itself is saily decorated and festooned in patriotic ,'oiors in honor of the occasion. The afternoon pro- gram of entertainment consisted of patriotic exercises by the school chill dren. an automobile parade. a battle with flowers and a reception to Ad miral Thomas and the officers at the Casino. Athletic events helped to en- certain the enlisted men who came ashore in large numbers.
 The sea was exceedingly rough where the ships lay at anchor and the men had difficulty in getting ashore No visitors whatever were taken on board. Only the ships launches were able to approach the gangways and even from them the transfer of pas sengers was effected with great diff ficulty.
 Special boards of turret and ord- nance officers of the Atlantic fleet. which held special meetings to con sider proposition from the bureau of construction at Washington, looking to further safety and protection of the turret hoists in the eight and twelve inch turrets. voted unanimously to dis approve of the proposed changes. The proposition was discussed at consider able length, but failed entirely to find favor with the officers. It is under stood. that congress has already appro- priated s500.00O to make changes in hoists. The plan turned down was one selected by the bureau construction.
 The scheme involved the building of enclosed steel trunks reaching from the protective decks below the turrets down to the floor of the handling rooms. The hoisting cars were to be operated inside the steel trunks. Three automatic doors were a part of the plan for insuring safety. It was also proposed to have section of the pro- tective deck fixed to revolve with the trunk. The whole trunk from the floor of the. turret to. the floor of the hand ling room was. to revolve with the tur- ret. One objection to the plan was that it involved the use of more compll- cated machinery while the turret machinery is-already too complicated. Another automatic door and other fea- Al ( sacrifice of time required for rapid ity fire. Still another objection was that the trunk which was to be rec tangular in shape, about 20 by sn by 4 feet. would occupy too much room in the handling room and make it diff ficult for the men to work
