Special from United Press.)

Boston. Sept. 27-Although the pri- mary vote cast at the first statewide primaries ever held in Massachusetts for state officers was only 50 percent of the vote at last years election. it is conceded on all sides. today, that the primaries have proven success. This is the statement made, today, even by those who a week ago de- clared positively that they expected a movement in the next legislature to have the primary law repealed.
 Returns. which could not be had up to three o'clock, this morning and which came in slowly even up to 10 o'clock, piled up even greater figures than the almost 3 tof1 majority by which 339 cities and towns nominated Louis A Buckingham on the Repub- 1ican ticket for governor over Speak CT Joseph Walker of the House. and Representative Norman F. White.
 As the vote stood, today, at g o'clock on returns from close to $50 cities and towns throughout the state, the figures had increased as follows: Frothingham 49,983, Walker 20,892, White 15,123 The Democratic vote was:
 Foss 54,5S6, Hisgen 5.S65. These fig- ures were not official, having been gathered by the United Press as mere ly supplementary to returns not yet received.

.Brunt Of Argument
 In Barnes Case Is
 Against Ministers
Fate of Alleged Vote Buyer
 Will Soon be Known-"C0n- stitutional Liars" Term Used

Bitter tirades geinst Rev. Eugene Wyland, the two clergymen who start ed the crusade against the vote buy ing. in Sherman, were made this morn ing in the criminal superior court when arguments were made on the case of George A. Barnes of Sherman. charged with violating the corrupt practices act. Judge Nickerson, one of Barnes counsel was particularly se- were in his criticism of the ministers. He said he had been brought up in the shadow of the church and that he had always been taught to respect the cloth but he declared shaking his finger at the jurymen, T want a man inside the cloth.'' Judge Nickerson is type of the country lawyer of other days and he used much old school oratory as he told of the in- justice of the prosecution against Barnes.
 Attorney Homer s. Cummings, an- other of Barnes lawyers also took occasion to criticise the ministers and their methods in the campaign against Barnes Attorney Cummings was at his best, though, when he held the Herterick family, the states strongest witnesses, up to ridicule.
 Attorney Cummings told the jury that if it convicted Barnes it must do so on the testimony of William Her terick, who is a self confessed per- jurer, the lawyer stated. He charac- terized the Herterick family, father, son and daughter as constitutional liars. 1T know this is a harsh thing to say" declared Attorney Cummings. .'but I would be dere1fct in my duty if I didn't state these thing which are on the records.
 When court opened this morning Prosecutor Norman c. Beers of Dan- bury made the first argument. He re7 viewed in an able manner the facts of the states case against Barnes and declared that upon the evidence the jury should convict Barnes of bribing voters ls s.l.. .h.9

ROLPH DIRECT
 PRIMARY CHOICE
 OVER M'CARTHY
Direct Primary Election in San Francisco Has Decisive
 Result
Special from United Press, !,

San Francisco, Sept. 27-James Rolph, shipowner and big business man, was elected mayor of San Fran cisco at yesterdays primary election according to the revised count avail able, today. He overwhelmingly de- feated Mayor Mccarthy, by nearly nearly two to one, the other candi- dates on the ballot receiving only a scattering vote. Yesterdays election was final for all who received ma- jority and Rolph will not have to go before the people again.
 The district attorneyship, however, is in doubt and deciding election will have to be held.
 That Mccarthy had lost the SUD- port of the union labor vote was shown by Ro1ph carrying districts where the mayor was believed to be particularly strong.

Johnson Patted Wife's Face Too
 Hard And Often
Is Arrested For Assault But Denies Striking Better Half
 Sent to Jail

Conrad Johnsen. a bill collector re- siding in the West End. was arrested last night by Patrolmen Nichols, Hal- pin and Murphy for creating a dis turbance in his home and striking his sick wife, who was in bed.
 In the city court this morning. Johnson denied striking his wife. He admitted that he had taken a little too much drink, but said it was un- true that he hit his wife.
 "All I did was smooth her face,'' he declared.
 ..You smooth my face too often," was Mrs. Johnson's retort.
 Johnson was sent to jail for 15 days. The evidence that he had struck his wife was not very strong but he was found guilty of drunk enness and creating disturbance. Johnson ran for county sheriff on the Socialist ticket last election, but to- day was his first visit to the county institution. Members of the Social ist party here declare that Johnson was suspended immediately after last election because he had made a per- sona1 campaign and violated the rules of the party thereby.

 New Haven, Sept 27-The steam, I trolley and water routes of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail rpad Company, and it's gas, electric and water companies, collectively known as the New Haven System, fhad a combined revenue of $S7, ,230, 962. AS Fin the year ended June 30. 1911. The Syetem's total net revenue was ESQ., 558, ,S45.23, which minus taxes, rentals and interest on bonds and debentures, l1eft a net income of $10.573, 402. 40. The eight per cent dividend declared by Che road required $10,886, ,691, leaving a deficit for the year of $313, 28S. 60. 4
 These facts are contained in the gen. eral statement of. the affairs of the company for the year ended June 30. 1911, given out at the roads head quarters in this city. today. The re- port Is a bewildering procession of millions. For all practical purposes, too, 1t is roster of the main ship ping and passenger channels of New England.
 The following named companies are included in the combined income ac- count: The New York, New Haven & HArtford Railroad Company, Central New England Railway Company, The Connecticut Company, New York & Stamford Railway Company, The Yer mont Company. Hoosic Falls Railroad
 Company. Housatonic Power Company,
 The Rhode Island Company, The New

 New Bedford, Martha's Vineyard & Nantucket Company.
 Because the New Haven's interest in the New York, Ontario & Western, Boston & Maine and controlled lines and Maine Central and controlled lines are treated as investments, these lines are excluded from the combined in come account. The revenues from these routes would add probably an- other $25, 100000 to the New Haven s gross earning powers

 When the report forsakes figures
 for ordinary reading matter. it recalls recent events affecting the road. The Federal Express wreck at Bridgeport, in which fifteen lives were lost, is treated by President Mellen as fol- lows:
