.WHOLECOUNTYDRY
Drastic Action Taken by
Pennsylvania Judge.
BOWED TO PUBLIC OPINION
Thirty Thousand Signatures to Petit
ton Believed to Have Caused
Judge Porter's Refusal to
Grant Licenses.
BOWED TO PUBLIC OPINION

New Castle. Pa, March 16.-Judge
William Il. Porter refused every
LIQUOR license in Lawrence county.
The places affected involve property
interests valued at $6,0OO.OOO, and in
clude four large breweries, thirty
eight hotels and about seventy
saloons.
The action of Judge Porter Is the
most dractic ever taken by a license
court in this county. and is believed
to have been caused largely by the
anti.saloon sentiment aroused by the
whlrlwind campaign made last spring
by Billy" Sunday, the evangelist.
The popular interest in the saloon
question was such that petition, cir
culated by antl-saloon leaders, bore
more than 10000 signatures. and this
protest was presented at the opening
of the license court. Nine thousand
of the 10000 signers we're registered
voters.
Judge Porter is a Democrat, but
was elected to Office on the indie
pendent ticket in 1905. At the open
ing of his first license court he an
nounced that he would be governed
in the granting of licenses by local
option sentiment In districts where II
waS 80 pronounced as to be dominant
This makes three dry" counties in
the state-M ihin, Greene and Law
renee. Judge Porter's decision goes
into effect April !.
The strength OF the anti-saloOn SEN
timent is shown by the fact that two
thousand more voters signed the re-
mOnstrances than voted at the general
election.
judge Porter made no concealment
OF the fact that the ground upon which
he refused every license in the county
was based on the wave Of popular
opinion against the saloon. This
frank announcement Is construed by
the attorneys for the liquor interests
as an attempt to set precedent and
they say il opens the way for an ap-
peal. Unless Judge POrter's decision
is successfully contested. New Castle
will be minus twenty-five saloons; ELL
wood City will lose five, Mampum
two and Enon Valley one. Ten whole
sale houses in the county, located
chiefly in New Castle. are affected.

NAGEL STOPS WEDDING
Refuses to Let Immigrant Girl Marry
Man She Never Saw.

Washington, March 16.-Secretary
Nagel doesn't intend to be a party to
any young woman marrying a man she
has never seen. He officially refused
to do such a thing.
Nacka Huckzo landed at Ellis Isl
and a few days ago to marry her
cousin, Dominic Elliott She had no
money, but a promise of position.
The immigration inspectors baked at
letting Nacka in unless her cousin
would come to Ellis Island and marry
her FIRST. Then It developed that she
had never seen her intended husband.
Secretary Nagel decided that Nacka
had better get her employment first
aud look Dominic over afterward, and
then marry him II she wanted to.

STRIKES ON HIS HEAD
Shoulder Blade Broken-Head and
Body Badly Cut and Bruised
Lies in Unconscious
Condition

Hueston C. Kramer, the Plymouth
timer, was perhaps fatally injured at
about LAS Monday by falling
from the roof of the public school
house at Inwood. Mr. Kramer was
at work putting tin roof on the
building when in some way he fell to
the ground, a distance of two full
stories, landing on his head on the
cement sidewalk below. He sustained
broken shoulder blade, and severe
injuries about the face and head. 1t
is thought that he can live but a
short time st the best.
No one witnessed the accident but
doctors Kaszer and Loring we're i'm
mediately summoned. The injured
man was carried into the basement Of
the building and everything possible
was done for him. He has remained
in an unconscious condition since the
time of the accidest.
Mr. Kramer was about 90 years
old, and single. He came to Plym-
outh about three weeks ago from Wa
bash and opened tin shop under
the Marshall County Trust & Saw
ings bank. His relatives have been
notified.
