Kaerches, w. w. Bonnell, H. J. Baugh and Charles Diebel. They interviewed men on both sides of the question here and showed a desire to get at the real facts in connection with the prohibition proposition
 Their reports appeared in the two daily papers of Youngstown and it Is believed had much to do with turning the tide toward the defeat of the prohibitionlsts. During their stay in Birmingham the party stated that 1t looked at the time as If Mahoning county would go dry, but expressed the belief that upon the people there being shown just how matters were in the prohibition south opinions would change.
 Ohio has ward option and practically all of Mahoning county outside of the heart of Youngstown is already dry. For the central portion of the county seat to go dry, however, 1t is necessary for the en- tire county to vote. The result of yester- days election, therefore, leaves conditions just as they were before the elction was held.
 The heavy registration in Mahonng county-20500 votes being cast yesterday lis caused by reason of the fact that poll taxes are not collected in Ohio. All that is necessary is to register within a certain number of months prior to the election.

VESSELS WRECKED
 IN CANAL LOCK

Sault Ste Marie, Mich., Junne s.-with all the weight of Lake Superior behind 1t, an ungoverned torrent of water rushed tonight through the s4.O0O.000 Canadian canal.
 The lock was wrecked today when the steamer Perry G. Walker rammed her bow through the lower gate. The canal encased within it's walls this evening a tremendous spectacle including two water falls and a. giant whirlpool.
 The upper gates were opened when tho Walker crushed open the lower gates and the tremendous power of the rapids was given instant play. The big steamer As- siniboia, moored within the lock chamber, was torn away She rammed the Wal ker from her path, the Assinboia's port anchor ripping a hole in the Walkers s side.
 The Assniboia swept into the open reaches of the river below. Her cargo shifted and this gave her a considerable list and several plates on her port side forward of amidships were loosened.
 fThe Walker was whirled around several times and finally landed on a shoal out of the channel.
 The ore laden steamer Crescent City, just entering the locks from Lake Su- perior, was swept down stream like feather She overlook the Assiniboia and struck the latter two glancing blows, after having a great hole torn in her side as she swept past the broken lower gate. Tugs caught her andstowed her to the American side, where she settled
 The loss to the Canadian government will probably reach $250,000 and the dam age to the Crescent City is estimated at $1OO,OOO. The damage to the steamers Walker and Assiniboia was comparatively light.
 Captain Mosher of the steamer Walker declares that the accident was caused by his engineer making a mistake and throwing his lever to full speed ahead' on the captains signal to back up."

 Bedte1 M Youngstown
Majority Against Saloon Forces Is Nearly 2000 Votes Mahoning County Outside of the City of Youngstown Is Already Dry and Vote Merely Leaves
 Situation Unchanged

Youngstown, O., June 9.-Anti-saloon forces in Ohio suffered a bitter defeat today when Youngstown. with 5000 in- habitants, and the remainder of Mahoning county, voted in special election to re- tain the saloons The vote in the S4 city and county precincts was: "Wj," 11.232; ; dry" 92sS-maJority 1869.
 Ten thousand persons packed into the public square tonight and cheered bulle- tins showing the partial election returns. The principal streets were made unsafe by processions of automobiles running at high speed and filled with yelling men. Chief of Police McDowell has ordered all saloons closed and is keeping his en- tnre force on duty.
 Birmingham was very much interested in the outcome of 'he prohibition cleo tior held yesterday in Mahoning county, Ohio, in which Youngstown is located, and the telephones into The Age-Herald editorial rooms were kept busy last night with requests regarding the outcome.
 The conditions existing at present in Birmingham were among the principal factors used in the campaign. A party of five prominent Youngstown business men, none of whom were in any way connected with the liquor interests, vis- ited Birmingham for several days and made an exhaustive study of the way prohibition was being handled here. These men were M. c. Harmon, T. H.

Old Mafia Is Revived.

Cincinnati June 9.-Revelatons in the eXtortion, plotting and murder by the Black Hand, as uncovered by the post office inspectors from the Cincinnati of f1ce show conclusively that the gang in Columbus, Marion, Dennison and Belle fountaine and other Ohio towns was or ganized along the same lines as the old maia, but with a better system for con- cealing their movements.
 It is now known that the Ohio Black Hand, or the Society of the Banana" as its members style themselves, had a branch in Pittsburg and one in Chicago. and line that extended to South Da- kota Regular meetings were held and the money obtained by extortion was dis tributed to various divisions in this county and sent to relatives in Italy for safe keeping.
 We have found what I believe to be certain proof that the Blao.. Hand out rages were committed by a well-organized society,"" said Chief Inspector Holmes to an Associated Press representative to- day. Tt has taken Inspector Oldheld and four other men under me six months to run down the leaders.
 We have no evidence so far that the American Black Hand in the west Is con- nected with the foreign society that killed Lieutenant Petroslno.'
 Nine arrests have been made thus far in Columbus, Marion, Dennison and Belle fontaine, and the officers in Chi- cago and Cincinnati are looking for An tonic Lima. a brother of Salvatore Lima who was arrested in Marion Antonio Lima is held to be one of the chief ring leaders.
 An effort will be made to have the prisoners indicted by federal grand jury at Cleveland on the charge of conspiracy to commit extortion.

MASSIVE DOUBLE EAGLE, EN-
RLEM OF THE THIRTY-THIRD

Congressman L. B. Hanna is one Of

as a result of a birthday present from
@. w. Davis. II is magnificent
double eagle-the emblem OF the

tinguished honor Mr.. Hanna has held
for some years.
The eagles are in heavy bronze with
the circle above heavily plated with
gold. 1t is massive in design with
royal purple background and enclosed
in a heavy black frame, which makes
a splendid effect.
The idea is original with Mr.. Davis,
who had a plate made from which
three Of these were cast. He present
ed one to Mr.. Hanna, one to another
friend and retained the third. After
these three were made he had the
plate destroyed.
Mr.. Hanna has the beautiful present

| CRASH HEAD-ON
WRECK ON THE SOUTHWESTERN
BRANCH NARROWLY ESCAPED
BEING A HoRRoR-PAssENcER
AND FREIGHT TRAINS COLLIDE
NEAR LISBON YESTERDAY.

The Southwestern branch passenger
train headed toward Fargo on the re-
turn trip yesterday afternoon and the
local freight on that branch, collided
head-on in the deep cut just north Of
Lisbon. The wreck only escaped be-
ing a horror, in which many lives
would have been lost by the coolness
and promptness Of the engineers Of
both trains.
Atty. Emerson II. Smith Of Fargo
was on the passenger train and he
happened to be looking out OF the
window and noticed the freight train
coming The passenger was climbing
the hill in the cut and the freight was
coming down. 1t was evident that the
freight engineer thought he would
have time to make Lisbon before the
passenger left that city.
Both trains were going at a pretty
good rate OF speed when the engineers
saw the other trains and roth stop
ped and reversed. The freight had
had time to stop and was slowly
backing away when the crash came,
but the passenger, which was in
charge of Engineer Kingsley, was go

ing the grade and could not be stop
ped in the short distance.
The shock was so severe that sew
eral passengers were thrown from
their seats and many were cut and
bruised about the face and arms. One
man had to be carried from the train
at Fargo. but he quickly recovered
when given medical aid by the COM
pany's physician. Mr.. Smith had pre-
pared himself for the shock and was
uninjured
The freight engine was damaged
but little, but the front end of the
passenger engine was badly delapi-
dated The cow catcher was smashed
into junk and the front truck Of the
engine left the rails. A delay OF
about twenty minutes was caused in
getting the truck back on the rails.

questions concerning farmers eleva-

the speaker started on one, the mob
called for the other.
One individual, who was the main
opponent of the speaker in the debate,
had the timerity to declare that
everyone was prospering and happy in
North Dakota and that trouble-

FAILED TO TELL
TROUBLES TO COP
THIS coLoRED MAN ENDEAvoR-
ED TO HANDLE OWN CASE
MAN STOLE SIPS FROM HIM RE-
LEASED WHEN FARGO CHIEF
HAD NO INFORMATION.

For a time yesterday afternoon police
officials and the sheriff's department
were puzzled over a report which came
from Staples, Mimi, that colored man
had been arrested there. on informa-
tion received in this city. The sheriff's
department wanted no man at Staples.
and the police said they had no infor-
nation concerning the matter.
It took considerable investigation to
get the facts in the matter The day
previous a colored man appeared at the
N. p ticket Office and called for ticket
to Staples, flashing $50 bill in pay
ment The train had hariy pulled out
when a second colored man rushed up
TO the office and asked IL a $50 bill had
been changed there by colored man.
On being answered in the Affirmative
he declared 1t had been stolen, with
SIS more, from him. He was told to
notify the police department and ask
them to have the man headed on at
Staples.
Instead OF informing Chief Grant he
took the matter UP himself, 'phoning
the police at Staples. it Is believed
using the name Of the chief Of police.
He then took the next train for Staples.
In the meantime the police at Sta
pies. grew suspicious, 1t is believed,
and called Chief Grant. on a reverse
ticket. The chief refused the call, hav-
ing no case there.
The Staples officers were then satis-
fed that they had been deceived and
discharged the prisoner. When color
ed man No. arrived he met with dis
appointment. all because he failed to
inform the Fargo police department in
the first place.

CONCERNING THE BIG BRITISH

= There is a truly great meeting of
scientists on in Winnipeg at this time

TT Is the meeting of the British asso-
citation for the Advancement of Sci
ence.
Teachers and students of North Da-
kota, who are free to attend the ses-
sions here are missing great oppor-
tunity. The meeting will last until
Wednesday OF next week.
There are over 500 members Of the
association present besides a great
number Of associate members and visi.
tors.
This world wide association contain,
ing in its membership some OF the
greatest SCIENTISTS in the wroId comes
to Canada but once in ten years and
this is the first time that Winnipeg has
ever had the opportunity of entertain
ing the distinguished body.
There are sections representine
every standard science and many SUBJ
sections. At the last session agricul-
ture was given a place as a subsec-
ton under section X, the botanical
section.
Because Of the great Importance
that agricultural education is assum-
ing, however, pressure is being brought
to bear to have the general session
raise agriculture to the rank of an In
dependent section.
THE A. A. A. 8. has been more tardy
in recognizing agriculture and as vel
has given 1t no place.
Winnipeg is certainly putting for
ward its best foot in providing enter.

wonder and favorable comment from

the far east, many of whom had evi.
