Chicago, Sept. 2e.-According to
figures given out last night by
Charles R. Jones. the national chair
man of the prohibition party. there
was an astonishing decrease in the
production and sale of intoxicating

ing the months of July and August.
Nearly million dollars day was
the decrease. as estimated by the pro-
hibition leader
The greater part of The decrease
was in the production and consump-
ton of beer; and this in the face of
the fact that July and August are
said to be two months in which ordi-

Denver, Colo, Sept. 26.-Henry T
Smiley. clerk of the city and county
of Denver, appeared this morning in
Judge Whitford's court to answer to
complaint charge.
The clerk at first refused to an
swer all questions asked him by the
court: but, when he saw that he
might be sent to Jail on a contempt
charge, he agreed to answer all the
questions put to him. He was ad-
vised by his attorneys to make the
answers.
The upshot of the hearing was
that Smiley agreed to obey all or
ders of the court and to recognize the
Guggenheim ticket in the city and
county of Denver, and to place that
ticket on the ballot as the official
and regular republican ticket. He
agreed to appear in court at l pm.
Monday and report what he has
done
This is another triumph for Gug-
genheim and his faction and another
defeat for Evans and his faction
Smiley is an Evans man and had re
fused to recognize the Guggenheim
ticket. He had determined to rec
ognize the Evans republican ticket
but the court has made him change
his mind.
Smiley had evaded service of the
court papers for some days, going out
of Denver for time for this purpose
without leaving his address.
