Judges Ruling on Local Option
Election Does Not ATdct County
Contest.
A Marshifeld special says: More
details received to day by Judge Hall
regarding Judge Hami tons ruling
on the petitions of r. A. Beckett and
other Coquille liquor men to have
the proposed local option election
in June set aside. show that the rul-
ing only affects the certain districts
and not the county as a whole The
question for the country as a whole
VIII be voted on June 1st. but a
temporary injunction has been is-
sued restraining the submission OF
the question to certain districts.
The hearing on this Injunction will
be sometime during the present term
of coIrt and IL Is not unlikely that
1t will be made permanent.
Judge Hamilton upheld the liquor
mems contention that the prohibi-
tion question according to the state
law could not be submitted i'm GER
tain districts more than once every
two years. Now, II happens that the
question was submitted about n year
ago in certain districts that are
now wet" so unless arguments and
law are presented to make Judge
Hamilton change his ruling, the
question cannot be submitted to
these sections as districts again.
However, the law permits these dis
tricts, as part of the county, to vote
on the question again in jane.
Under the law, all precincts in
the county that gives a majority
for prohibition shall remain dry"
for two years even II the total vote
of the county is against prohibition.
However, II the county as a whole,
gives majority for prohibition and
even though the vote in certain pre-
cincts Is against prohibition. these
precincts as part OF the county must
remain dry"
The liquor men claim that the
law. owing 10 the above popularity.
is one sided, and Il Is possible that
they may attempt 20 make test
case against II.
The prohibition workers. under
the direction OF the recently form ID
Coos County Anti-Saloon league, are
preparing to make strenuou1

Upsets Carriage and Nearly
Causes Death of Little
Eleanor ROWOrth.

A pet dogs jealousy of a little China
toy dog which was clasped tightly in
the arms of little Eleanor Roworth, the
infant child of Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene
Roworth, of Montclair Heights, nearly
caused the baby's death yesterday
afternoon.
The infant was sound asleep, and so
was Judy, a cocker spaniel. Judy has
always peer a pet in the family, and
when a stork brought a little girl to
the pretty home of the Roworths Judy
felt aggrieved, as she did not seem to
receive as much attention as she had
before the advent of little Eleanor.
Judy resented this and showed her dis
like of the baby in various ways. The
dog was soundly whipped by her mis-
tress for this, and finally the animafs
feelings toward the child changed as
the latter grew older, and Judy became
very FOND of little Eleanor.
When the child awoke from her nap
yesterday afternoon it was only natu-
raj for her t. cry, as she was hungry.
No one heard her, however, but Judy,

tor, which was close to the edge OF the

BOYS MAKE BOLD
EFFORT TO WRECK
NEWARK TRAIN
One Hundred Lives Endangered
When Lads Put Brake Shoes
on Tracks.
ESPECIAL to the Evening start

ELIZABETH, May 1S.-Attempting
TO wreck a Central Railroad passenger
train by placing brake shoes along the
track, is the charge against four boys,
all under fourteen years of age. who
are held here today to await the action
of the grand jury. The attempted
wreck was averted only by the GOODNESS
of the engineer. who stopped the train
a few feet from the spot where the
shoes were piled on the track.
The boys are: George Schlenker,
Louis Brown, William and Joseph Lipp-
erer, all of this city. In the train at the
time vas Detective Dowdy, of the Cen
trail Railroad, Dowdy narrowly escaped
serious injury from a missile hurled by
of the lads through the window
next to the seat he occupied.
The brake shoes were piled on the
track a short distance from the city
on the meadows. where a switch con-
meets the main line and a side track.
About 100 passengers were on board,
nearly all of whom came from Newark.

ing for Job Left Vacant
by Grace.

A special meeting of the Harrison
Common Council will be held tomorrow
night to meet with the Passaic Valley
Sewerage Commission and discuss the
project in SO far as it concerns West
Hudson.
1t is also expected that an attempt
will be made to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Town Treasurer Ed
ward ]. Grace. There are three can
didates for the position in the persons
of Councilman Edward ]. Rice, former
Assemblyman Joseph A. Riordan and
Town Clerk Bernard p. Walsh.
Rice cannot hold the office, according
to both the town charter and State
legislation, as shown in a written
opinion rendered by Town Counsel
Michael # Barrett, which clearly for
bids any member of a municipal body
holding any Office, the salary of which
is paid from the town treasury. This
eliminates Rice.
The contest is therefore between
Riordan and Walsh, and well informed
men pick Walsh as the winner, al
though emissaries of County Leader
Robert Davis have been actively en-
gagged in seeking votes for Riordan. II
Walsh wins out this will leave a va
cancy in the office of town clerk, and
although that office may not be filled
right away still it is probable that il
will be given to a First Ward resi-
dent.

Judy seemed to think that Tige, who

was menacing the baby. With a growl
