MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. 21.-Fig-
ures which will prove a revelation to
many people who have heretofore
accepted without question the claim
made by anti-license platform speaker
that the state of Wisconsin is half
dry have been disclosed by athoro-
ugh canvass of the state, made by
the Milwaukee Sentinel for the pur-
pose of obtaining at first hand, re-
liable statistics bearing on the sub

ing on the license question. Of 1,544
cities, villages and towns in the state
replies have been received up to this
time from LABS. More reports are
coming in daily Waupun is the only
city in the state from which returns
have not been received, and it is a
matter of common knowledge that
Waupun has half dozen or more sa-
looms. Reports are also missing from
ten villages and ninety-eight town
ships but in these it would probably
be perfectly fair to assume that no
application has ever been. made for a
license, there being no call for sa-
loon. A number of villages from
which answers have been received
are located in these same towns.
Everything possible has been done
to secure absolute accuracy in com
piling the figures, the returns in each
case being taken from a report made
over the signature of the clerk of
the city, village or town indicated.

According ito the reports received,
the number of cities, villages and
towns where licenses are issued for
the sale of liquor is S23, while the
number included in "dry" territory
is 612. But of the 612 dry places in
the state only 271 are dry as a result
of no license vote, while 339 are
dry for the simple reason that no
application has ever been made
for license, the population be-
ing SO small and the territory so
sparse1y settled as to offer no in
ducements for opening a saloon.
Two of the places classed as dry
are so because of the refusal of To-
cal authorities to issue a license, al
though no vote on the subject has
been taken.

ACCUSES PRINCE
ALBERT'S MAYOR
Secretary of Board of Trade
stirs Up sensation-wants
Investigation

Prince Albert, Sask., Oct 22.-Sen-
satfonal developments are expected
momentarily in connection with the
charges against Mayor Charles Nc
Donald and members of the city coun-
Gil. H. c. Beatty. formerly secretary
Of the board OF trade, is credited with
circulating the report that the parties
mentioned had attempted to form a
private company in an effort to get O
franchise on LaColle falls, and that
they had applied through lawyer in
Ottawa for the franchise. The story,
so far. is unconfirmed, but Beatty is
making every effort to havesan investi-
cation.
A motion of the council was passed
asking that an investigation be held,
but at meeting last night the motion
was rescinded. Beatty was dicharged
from his position and at the meeting
last night made inquiries as to whether
the investigation would be gone on
with. The mayor objected to his in
terference and ordered him from the
council chamber. He refused to 60,
but when a policeman was called he
left the room. In q few monutes af-
terwards he returned and was again
ordered from the room Beatty this
time asked for the mayors resignation
or an investigation. The mayor made
an affidavit that no company of his
knowledge had been formed. He stat
ed that Beatty had acted like an in
sane man in circulating such story.
The ratepayers are anxious for an
investigation and the council in re-
scinding the former motion, it is con-
sidered. has placed itself in an unfav-
orable light. Beatty now proposes to
sue the city for $4,000 for wrongful
dismissal from his position as secre-
tary of the board of trade

HEAVIER GUNS FOR
GREAT LAKES SHIPS
There Is a Rumor That the
United States Desires a
Change q

Ottawa, Oct ga statement COM
es from Washington, via Windsor, Ont.
to the effect that the United States
navy department has under contem-
plation the arming of the naval train
ing ships Iantic and Don Jaun De
Austia. now on the great lakes, with
modern guns. Both these vessels are
allowed to pass through the St. Law
renee canals by permission of the
Canadian government on the under
standing that they are to be used
solely for training ships in accord
with the provisions of the Rush-Ba-
got treaty. The report is not believed
by the Dominion government. No in
timation has reached Ottawa Of any
intention on the part of the United
States to violate the agreement be-
tween the two countries, and it is not
believed here for an instant that any
such action would be taken without
consultation with Canada. So care
full has Canada been to observe the
agreement that when some time ago
attention was drawn to the circum-
stance that some of the guns on the
cruiser Vigilant were of heavier type
than prescribed in the agreement.
orders were issued that the use Of
these guns should be discontinued.
The attention of the United States
government will probably be official-
ly called to the press report by the
Canadian government, through the
British ambassador at Washington.
Until a reply comes to the communi-
cation. Canada will take the view
that the United States intends to OBJ
serve the Rush-Bagot agreement.
The impression is general in Official
circles that the present armament of
the United States vessels on the lakes
is in excess of the allowance of one
eighteen FOUNDER for each vessel.
Modern guns are of smaller, but more
powerful calibre. and it is suggested
that the admiralities of the two coun-
tries should conduct an inquiry with
the object of ascertaining whether or
not the guns now carried are more
than the equivalent of the armament
allowed under the terms of agreement.
