THE BODY IS
RECOVERED
Remains of Capt. Houghton
to Be Brought Here
and Buried

The body of Captain Dan Houghton,
who fell from the coast steamer
Manteo about three weeks ago while
the-Eessel was in Mobile bay, has
been recovered. Mrs Houghton, who
resides in this city, has received no.
tice from the Mobile & Gulf Steam
ship Co. of the recovery of the body,
and that it wiz be removed from the
place on the beach where it was
buried, and will be sent to Pensacola
Thursday or Friday for interment.
The body was found at point
known as Navy Cove, on Mobile bar,
where it had been carried by the
tide. OF the recovery of the body
the Mobile Item of yesterday contain
ed the following:
Through E. r. Cobb, general
freight agent of the Mobile and Gulf
Steamship Company in this city which
operates the steamer Manteo from
which the mate was lost a month ago
and the body recovered Saturday as
told in the Item OF yesterday, it was
learned today that the mans name
was Daniel Houghton, and a resident
of Pensacola.
''Mr. Cobb received telephone
message from the mans wife at Pen
sacola this morning asking that the
remains be secured from their rest
ing place near Navy Cove and sent
to Pensacola for interment.
The suspicion that Houghton met
his death through foul play and which
was apparent from the crushed con-
dition of the skull was entirely re-
moved this morning when Mr.. Cobb
stated that Mate Houghton and three
other members of the crew were
placing the anchor in position when
he fell overheard. A fog had Just
lifted and the Manteo was proceeding
out OF Fort Morgan under full speed
when Houghton fell overheard.
The hole in the skull is believed
TO have been made by the boats pro-

THE GREAT
REFORM WAVE
OFPROH|b|T|0N
Battle of the Bottle Putting
Thousands of Saloons Out
of Business.
WORLDS WORK SHOWS THAT
oNE-HALF OF COUNTRY is DRY
AND THAT SALOONS ARE MAS
TER OF SITUATION IN BUT
INE STATES.

The current issue Of the World S
Work contains the following:
There are now but nine states and
territories in the union where the Sa-
loon is master of the situation. While
about one-half of the country is dry
the sale of liquor is absolutely pro-
hibited in only five states, as follows:
Maine, the pioneer prohibition
state.
Kansas, from which even the blind
tigers have recently been cleared out
North Dakota, where even liquor ad-
vertisements in newspapers are pro-
hibited.
Oklahoma, which entered the union
as a prohibition state.
Georgia, whose law, just gone into
effect, was precipitated by the Atlanta
riots.
Most of the remaining states have
local option laws, and one by one the
counties and towns are abOlishing the
saloons. The present status OF pro-
hibition is now about as follows:
Iuor belt IL hemmed in on the
west blythe three re.vIno coast states:
Washington, so dry towns.
Oregon, II dry counties and 10 dry
towns in the 81 remaining counties.
California, four dry counties and
many dry towns.
Between the liquor, belt and the Mis-
sissippi rivera region which includes
three of the dry states-North Dakota,
Kansas and Oklalhoma-the anti-saloon
sentiment is particularly strong.
South Dakota, one-fourth dry.
Nebraska, 100 dry towns.
Minnesota, 1z3 dry towns.
Iowa, So dry counties. ID wet, all Of
which have but one saloon each.
5vXv
Arkansas, SIS dry counties, II wet.
Louisiana. 65 per cent. of area is
dry.
Texas, lat counties dry. So partly
dry, AZ wet. No liquor in dining cars.
Between the great lakes and the
Ohio river the sentiment varies.
Wisconsin has 70S dry towns
Michigan, one dry county. Towns
may not vote on local option as NUM-
cipaHties.
Illinois, eight counties and 600 towns
dry.
Indiana, $50 dry townships out OF
1,016. Two judges have declared sal
DON licenses demonstrations
Ohio has LAO dry townships out of
LIS; go per cent. of towns dry, many
dry districts In wet cities
The southern states have recently
supported the prohibition movement
more vigorously than any other large
region:
Kentucky has 81 dry counties, 1S
partly dry, and four wet.
Tennessee is entirely dry outside of
Nashville, Memphis and Chattanooga.
Mississippi, So dry counties, nine

OHIO STRONG
FOR Nh. TAT
State Convention Cuts OH
Committee Men of Fora
ker-Dick Tendencies.
6y Associated Press.

Columbus, o., March 3.-The Ohio
republicans in the state convention
this afternoon dealt staggering
blow TO the interests of Foraker and
Dick by wiping off the state central
committee every man known to have
been biased in their favor. Every
member OF the new committee is a
TAFT man.
AT committee meeting held after
the adjournment OF the convention,
Walter F. Brown. of Toledo, was re-
elected chairman.
A plank in the platform adopted
tonight strongly endorses the passage
on the railroad rate bill, so vigorously
fought by Foraker on the floor of the
United States senate.
James R. Garfield, secretary of the
interior. was chosen temporary chair
man. He was greeted by an ou+hr~-.
OF applause, and his mention of the
name of Taft, and prediction that
Ohio was about TO furnish another
president, created a bedlam of ap-
plause.

Jew, who is the one mentioned above
as "ourly haired" IS thought by the
police to have planned the murder OF
the chief. His name could not be
learned last night, but every effort
win be made to find him today.
When the police entered the house
at 21S Washburn avenue, where AYR
buch lived, they found his sister Olga
clearing away the dishes after a sup
per of cold meat and coffee.
The detectives unfolded newspa-
per containing the picture of the
dead man and laid it before her. us
that your brother?" she was asked.
And she replied, without any display
of emotion or concern, that it was.
The police showed her pair OF
shoes, and asked her If they belonged
to her brother. She said that they
did.
Then she was told that her brother
was under arrest for crime, but not
that he was dead.
Have you got the other one?" was
her first question after the shock had
worn away.
ooh, a curly haired young Jew he
was studying with" she said.
But she would not reveal the name
of the curly haired young Jew. She
refused TO talk any more at that time.
Two Women.
From the landlord, H. Pine, the de-
tectives learned that another young
woman lived in the three rear rooms.
Averbuch had represented that both
were his sisters. Olgo said she was
his sister, but the other was not Inc
other young woman has not been
found.
Schuettler sent two detectives from
the city hall to aid the raiding party,
and on their arrival the place was
turned over to them, with instructions
to remain in waiting for the second
woman, who was described to them
as being q blonde and younger than
Olga. This young woman had not
appeared at the house up to o'clock
this morning.
From the neighbors little could be
learned of Averbuch and the two wo-
men. Mrs. Pine said that they had
come to her house two months before
and rented the three back rooms.

Chicago, March 3.-Three weeks
ago the detectives brought word to
Chief Of Police Shippy that the
Reds" had marked a Chicago man
for assassination. They did not
know who he was, and from that
time ali their efforts were concentrate
ed on the discovery of the intended
victim. Once or twice the chief re-
ceived through the mail scr"~'I en-
forming him that he was marked for
assassination il he did not desist in
his repressEve measures against
friends of the people" He paid no
attention to warnings, considering
them only the acts of irresponsible
individuals. One letter stated that a
foreign anarchist had been delAoa+nd
to kill Chicaso's police chief.
The situation which developed into
the tragedy OF yesterday was thus
discussed by the chief:
Anarchistic Addresses.
"A number of attacks were made
on the police at meeting in Brands
han recently. Several of the speak
ers might just as we'll told their de-
luded hearers TO go out and murder
every policeman they saw. That was
what one of the speakers said he
wished he could do-go out and kill
every policeman and throw their
bodies~fn the lake for the fish. Lucy
Parsons spoke at this meeting, attack
ing the police bitterly.
1T is the suggestion that causes
these poor, defuded men to go out
with their knives and revolvers to
kill. Taking human life is mighty
serious business, l realized that
when 1 shot in self defense, and in
defense or my wife and son. The
police are no worse than any other
body of men. Should 1 denounce the
ministry of any church because one
OF the ministers happens to go
astray? Why, then, should the entire
police force be denounced in such
bitter language because there are
some bad men on it? These black
sheep among the police are punished
severely.
Bitter Against Chief.
81 am the first man to. see that they
are punished. The Chicago anar-
chists also are bitter against me for
the reason that I interfered with the
parade that was to have been held
several weeks ago. I am certain that
took the right course on that oc-
caS1on. They held such a parade in
Philadelphia and three policemen
were killed"
The chief was asked what he pro-
posed to do in the future to stamp
out anarchy in Chicago.
1t would not do to tell all of our
plans in advance" he said, "but the
citizens Of Chicago may rest assured
that l will do nay duty at whatever
cost to myself. / feel that it is not
good policy to give too much publicity
to the operations of the various
is just what they want"

nocuous titles on the outside. AS the censors
are unable to judge the character of foreign
works and the men of the upper circles are able
to read French and English, the books got into
the hands of thinking persons. When the CEN
sorship was abolished, at the time the cOnstitu
ton was promulgated, the public hardly knew
what to do with the newspapers, which were
openly for sale in the hands of newSboys. They
bought them eagerly, but many secreted them
in their clothing and hurried off In Beirut
extras were issued, following custom not
known in America giving news of the progress
of the revolution. Unlike some American
''Nuxtries.' no large type gave the reader hint
of the lurid contents although for the readers it
was the most sensational news it had ever been
their lot read. Indeed, the tiny extras were
carefully wrapped in envelope. so that
should get the news before he had paid for it.
What will be the result of the open reading of
the classics of other lands and the writings in
their own? And will the streets of Constanti-
nopIe, Beirut and Jerusalem soon blossom with
tri-colored extras and headlines massive that
they be read at distance of two rods,
gardIess Of the dust of unpaved streets?
