LONE STAR STATE
HAS GONE DRY
RESULT OF PROHIBITION ELEC-
TION IN TEXAS.
"Drys'" Margin, Though Narrow,
Probably Broad Enough.

Dallas. Texas. July 22-With what
is estimated TO be three fourths of
the vote cast today i'm the liquor
election counted. the prohibitionists
are leading by the narrow margin of
3,4e1. according To- returns received
by the News. Up to midnight $685.
az votes had been accounted for.
Returns from all the larger towns
and rural districts are against the
saloons. and ii seems a safe predic-
ton at this time that the state has
gone dry.
The expected heavy anti-prohibi-
tion vote in the cities and larger
towns did not materialize. and sew
cral towns counted for the wet
column gave dry" majorities. San
Antonio gave an anti-prOhibitiOn ma
jority of only 5000; Houston. G.000;
Dallas. 1000. and Fort Worth, 500.

Sutton, and Mr.. Hageman has donated

Mr.. Hageman deplored the affair

who set Sutton at work, told him the
last thing before leaving to watch out
for the electric wires as they carried
a heavy current. This warning was
given in accordance with a usual GUS
tom for Mr.. Hageman says that less
than year ago an employe narrowly
escaped death on 4 Phoenix roof by
having 4 piece Of metal roofing in his
hand, blown against wire by the wind.
The metal was melted but fortunately it
was torn from the mans hand before it
hit the wire.
An experienced electrician comment
in gon yesterdays incident said the
only safe rule in working around wires
is to regard every wire as dangerous
and as bare. whether il is insulated or
not. But it win probably never be
known whether Sutton pursued that
rule and slipped and fell against the
wire or whether he thoughtlessly put
out hand, perhaps not realizing how
close he was to the wire. There were
no apparent marks of slipping shoe
on the roof but whether a slipping shoe
would have scratched the tin is also
conjecture. Sutton's watch stopped at
exactly II O'clock, but if it was stopped
by the shock the watch must have been
ahead of time for the body was found
before that hour.
Mrs. Sutton was notified of the fatal
accident that had befallen her husband
and was brought to the rooms of the
Associated Charities in the city hall
before it was definitely known that he
was dead. Her sufferings when the
whole truth became known, excited the
deepest sympathy Of all.
During the afternoon a number of
officials and experts in the employ Of
the Pacific Gas & Electric Co. made
a careful examination of the roof and
wires and noted the facts AMI cOndi-
tions as they found them.
