SOCIALISTS MAKE Big GAINS
(By Associated PresS.)

Chicago, April 5.-Carter H. Harri.

1905, and son of Carter H. Harrison,
ST., who occupied the mayors office
from 1870 to 1887, and was assisted
during the worlds fair, was elected
mayor for the fifth time yesterday. He
defeated Charles E. Merriam, his Re.
publican opponent, by 1902 votes,
gaining total of 177,35S votes.
~ In spite of the opposition of a ma
'Jority of the local press, the election
was almost complete Democratic
victory. The election of F. d. Con-
merry for city clerk and Henry Stuck
art city treasurer early was conceded.
although count of their total vote
had not been completed.
The Democratic majority of the city
council has been increased by at least
dozen members.
Prof. Charles E. Merriam, Mr.. Harri-
sons Republican opponent, conceded
the latters election at $50 p. m, two
and half hours after the polls were
closed, but declared that the results
were such as would give him hope
for another contest
One of the features of the campaign
was the vote polled by the Socialist
party. Five-sixths of the total pre-
cincts, the first in, indicated that the
vote would reach $4,000, a gain of
1000 over the vote of four years ago.
On the other hand, the prohibition
vote, which had been 5,S75 four years
NJ, dropped down to 1900 this year.

DIAz'S FORCES
Are BOTTLED UP
Americans Believe Madero is Prepar.
ing to Deliver a Decisive
Strike Soon.
by Associated Press.)

Chihuahua, Mex, April 5.-Three
thousand Mexican troops, representing
the main strength of Diaz's forces in
northern Mexico are bottled up in this
city.
An instance of the proximity of the
insurrectos was shown at Almada.
twenty miles east, where three hun
dred federals last week trapped large
number of intoxicated rebels in a
church and killed eighteen. Eighteen
non-combatants in Armada were also
killed by the federals. When troops
returned to Chihuahua they reported
no prisoners, and no wounded taken.
The inference is that they were shot.
The Americans here believe Medero
is preparing to deliver a decisive
strike with the view of bringing con-
ditions to crisis. Madero. with Oroz-
co and twelve hundred insurrectos is
at Bustillo's plantation, six miles west
of here.

ADAMS COUNTY
JURY ROASTED
Judge Wilkinson Criticised the Grand
Jury for Failure to lndct
Law Offenders.

Natchez, Miss, April 5.-Judge NJ.
H. Wilkinson, from the bench at
Natchez, severely criticised the grand
jury of Adams county for its failure
to bring in indictments against al
legged violators of the state prohibition
laws Monday.
Numerous charges were filed by the
county attorney and the evidence pre-
sented was such that, for the first
time in many years, a minority re-
port was handed into the presiding
judge on this question. Five men,
bers of the grand jury signed the mi
nority report, and this fact provoked
Judge Wilkinson to remark from the
bench that only five members of the
body had seen fit to do their duty"
After some rather curt remarks to
the grand jury, Judge Wilkinson pro-
ceeded TO state that the sheriff of
Adams county produced the names of
those persons in Natchez who had
federal license to sell liquors, which
he considered prima facie evidence of
guilt. He declared the chief of police
of Natchez has been before the grand
jury with the affidavits he made
against violators of the law in police
court, while the police justice, with
his docket, had been before the grand
jury to show the pleas of guilty en-
tered by thirty proprietors of soft
drink" establishments in the city of
Natchez. This, Judge Wilkinson said,
made an absolute case against the
men charged with violating the prohi-
Dition law, yet not a single indictment
was returned for this offense
The minority report of the grand
Jury on this subject said the evidence
showed that the law had
,een violated; that they had examined
he police docket, the sheriff's books
Ind several witnesses, the latter testi-
ying that they had bought beer from
certain of the men accused of selling
liquors, and that, on the evidence sub
nitted, violators of the law should
,e indicted, but were not.
