Governor Hughes made no secret of
his disappointment over the result Of the
days struggle. He would not intimate
what measure he would adopt in the
premises. but that ne regards the matter
as far from settled he made clear by
the following statement issued from the
executive chamber:
ut is impossible to believe that the peo-
pie will permit the plain mandate OF the
constitution TO be ignored. The contest
has not ended. 1t has only begun. 1t
will continue until the will of the people
has been obeyed.'
The vote came at the end of a day so
ramati and intense that people who
have been about the capital for a gener-
alton say they remember nothing like 1t.

on the list. was cast against the bills.

DECLARES HUSBAND IS
DANGEROUS DYNAmITER

York. Pa. April II. - Charging her
husband. John Sutton. with being a
dynamiter. dangerous to the
ity in general and to herself in par
ticular. Mrs. Sutton has caused his ar
rest.
Mrs. Sutton alleges that her husband
threatened to blow her up and that she
is afraid of him. Sutton, who lives at
Stewartstown, protests that the arrest
is due solely to the limitations of the
feminine sense of humor; that his wife
is too literal, and that anyway the
threat was perfectly proper as a bit Of
conjugal retaliation. He asserts that it
is obvious that his wife is not afraid
of him. as h has been blowing him
up regularly for years.
Sutton says that the whole matter
is a mistake; that he never threatened
to use dynamite, but that finding his
wife upon a street corner talking to
some n%eighbors, he humorously remark
ed that there was likely to be an ex-
plosfon where there was SO much gass-
ing. That, says Sutton, was not a
threat. but a prophecy.
