MAINE MAY STILL
REMAIN DRY
TERRITORY
Governor Thinks Corrections
Will Alter Vote
PRIMARY SYSTEM ADOPTED
Majority Of over $4,000 Favors Aug
usta for Permanent Capital
of the State

Augusta, Me, Sept. 19.-After hay
ing completed the tabulation of the
official returns on all four questions
which appeared upon the ballot at
the special election a week ago, the
Governor and Council tonight ad-
iourned until Thursday, Sept. 28,
when they will meet to consider cor
rections.
The results as announced today
were as follows
On repeal of the constitutional pro-
lhibitory amendment: For repeal, co.
4S7; against repeal, 60,461; majority
for repeal, &C.
The Statewide primary system was
adopted by a majority of 44,036, there
being 65,S10 votes in favor of II.
The majority in favor of locating
the State Capitol permanently at Au-
gusta was 1884, and for increasing
the debt limit in cities of 10000 and
over the majority was $50.
Attorney General Pattangall stated
tonight that the question of the repeal
of the prohibitory amendment was
still in doubt, and II was his belief
that corrections would show con
siderable majority against repeal.
AT the meeting next week the
Council will serve notice of any in
tended corrections, and will then sci
a date on which a hearing will be
held. The time for receiving correc
tions will not expire until Oct. g.
Gov. Frederick W. Plaisted said to

in the returns of several towns which
might materially alter the result.

GAMBLING IN BELLOWS FALLS
Slot Machine And Owner Are Hailed
TO Police Court.

Bellows Falls. Sept 19-There is
likely to be lull In the gambling
game in Bellows Falls, at least for a
short time. On warrant sworn out
by Grand Juror Graham, Chief of Pc
lice Severance went last night to the
pool room kept In the Central house
by Burt W. Wright. There he found
slot machine in operation, which he
seized and took to the police station.
He also arrested Wright and kept
both trophies for a hearing Tuesday
morning. In the case against the ma
chine 1t was ordered confscated and
destroyed and the mandate of the
court was carried into effect by the
officers.
In the action against Wright for
keeping gambling implements in a
place Of public resort the respondent
pleaded guilty. Grand Juror Graham
asked the court for as large fine as
the law would allow, making the re
quest on the ground that the place
had been constantly frequented BY
minors and was thus a source OF
great and growing corruption to the
boys OF the place. He declared that
boys Of from Ia to IS were there
playing a good deal of the time on
the day the seizure was made and al
so on the proceeding Saturday. Judge
Thompson took the case under ayise
ment and finally assessed Wright the
| sum OF S75 and costs

They Are Good Winners, but Drown
Their Losses In Tears.
To many brokers women are hoo
docs. and some stock exchange houses
refuse absolutely to have anything to
do with the fair sex. The majority OF
brokerage firms try their best to keep
women's speculative accounts out OF
their offices Some houses are obliged
TO take women's accounts as matter
Of personal friendship, but they will
not open accounts for other women, no
matter how we'll they may be intro
duced.
Wall street men do not have high

ness sense Most women have an idea
that one needs only TO get tip
from some "insider' In Wall street to
be sure OF making barrels OF money
for new gowns. hats aud jewelry.
The dlctum Of Wall street IL that
women are good winners. but bad
losers. II Is difficult TO reason about
money aud business with an angry oI
weeping woman. Her view OF Wal
street and all It's works suddenly be
comes entirely emotional. and only ,
broker with infinite patience can calm
her. Many n time a stock exchange
house has taken a woman customers

STRIKE IN IRELAND
Railway Employees Vote In Favor Of
Going Out.

Dublin, Sept. ia great mass
meeting of railway employees was held
tonight and a resolution was adopted
in favor Of a general strike on the
Great Southern and Western, the
Great Northern and the Midland
Great Western, the three principal
railways in Ireland. So serious do
the authorities regard the situation.
that all the Dublin regiments which
are absent on practice have been or
dered to return to this city But lit
tie violence has yet been reported.
The Royal Irish constabulary and the
Dublin mounted police are guarding
the railway stations.
The question of an increase in
wages or shorter hours does not en-
ter into the present trouble. The men
have made no demands in this direc-
ton. The strike is due to the refusal
by the three railways to grant the de-
mands of their employees that the rail
ways decline to handle consignments
of timber from firms involved In dis
putes with their employees. Lorries
transporting timber through the
streets today were guarded by de-
tachments of police, but only one at
tempt was made to interfere with
their passage, and this was quickly
suppressed.
