Election Was Quiet.

The election was for the most part un-
usually quiet. There were few disputes
al any OF the polling places and no argu-
ments between workers. Both sides
worked quietly and hard and prominent
workers of both sides were agreed that
the vote was true and honest express
sion OF the sentiment of the people Of
the city with reference to the liquor ques-
ton.
Just at the time the polls were closed
the only trouble of the day was reported
From district 22 there was a report re-
ceived at the prohibition headquar
ters that about twenty people We're there
waiting TO vote when the polls were
closed and that the judges refused to
permit them 10 cast their ballots How
ever. the matter was adjusted by per-
mitting those who had arrived prior to
Z O'Clock TO vote and barring the others.
Although there were special police EN-
ployed In apprehension Of possible
trouble. not a disorder incident TO the
election was reported at police headquar
ters.
Owing 10 the fact that the legislature
which passed the liquor law failed TO
make any provision for voting by ma
chine, the returns were slower coming In
than would have been the case had vot-
Ing machines been used.

Paper ballots were used and this neces-

Most OF the returns, however. were In
from the districts of the city by o'clock.
The first district 10 report was district
SS, where the judges counted all the
votes in fifteen minutes. The last dis
trict to report was district 3. where the
judges went to dinner at the close OF the
polls before counting the votes.
BY o'clock il was certain that Salt
Lake was wet and that the majority
would run close to 5000. Large crowds
watched the bulletin boards and applaud :
ed when the returns indicated the city
would remain wet"
Considerable interest was taken in the
returns from the rest of the state. On
the whole, however, there were few sur
prises In the election. as II was practi-

that the o'd liquor law was all right

fact that conditions after the election
remain pretty much as previously, in

was previously satisfactorily expressed.

Tribune's Bulletins,

OF the election not only to the people OF
Salt Lake but also to a large number Of
outside points. The Tribune's special
service at Bingham, Garfield. Park City,

be. In not few OF the places the re-
turns of the districts in those very places
were given by The Tribune bulletins be-
fore the people OF the towns themselves
knew the results. This was noticeably
the case at Bingham and Murray, In
which places The Tribune supplied the
returns complete when the crowd in front
of the display boards had only partial

RUTLAND IMPROVEMENTS.
Work on Road Looked for Soon, Though

New Haven, Feb. 22.-Tt is semi-ofi-
cially stated that owing TO the acquisi-
ton of half-control Of the Rutland sys-
tenn being so recent, and the fact that
the New York Central win be part
ner in the enterprise, plans must be
deferred for the Improvement of the Rut-
land system for transfer of business
from the New Haven and the Boston &
Maine Early Improvements on the
Rutland line, however, are looked for
with a large exchange of business from
the Boston a Maine, which is expected
to 90 and come by way of st. Johns
bury, Rutland, Burlington and Rouses
Point. with considerable increase Of vest
ward business via 0gdensburg and the

In railroad circles here it is regard

.LANGFORD
GETS DECISION
Lang Strikes Him When He
Is Down
is QUICKLY DISQUALIFIED
colored Pugilist Had Battle Fairly Won
Then--He Frequently FloOred the
Australian--ToOk Long Count
Several Times.

London, Feb. 22.--Bill Lang, who once
held the heavyweight championship Of
Australia, was no match for Sam Lang
ford, the American colored pugiIist, in a
scheduled 20round bout at the Olympic
last night. Langford won in the sixth
round, when Lang was disqualified, but
the contest could not have gone much
longer, as Lang was almost out when
he committed the foul.
Six thousand spectators gathered at
the Olympic to witness what they ex-
peeted would be long and fast fight,
and they showed great disappointment
when the contest ended so abruptly,
After six fierce rounds, when Langford
was down, the Australian in dazed sort
Of way rushed at the American and
struck him, and Immediately the referee
proclaimed Langford the winner
The saying, "A good big man will
always beat a good little man. proved
a fallaey, for the Australian with all
his natural advantages, including an ex-
ira SO pounds in weight, was hopelessly
outclassed by the colored fighter, who
walked into him and hit him from ell
angles, when and where he willed
Lang was all nerves. He seemed scared
to death and his disqualification was
the best thing that could have happened,
for he was SO groggy that he was bound
to have been put out if he had not trans
crossed.
The only redeeming feature Of Lang's
showing was his gameness in taking
punishment, As early as the first round
Sam punched him all over the ring. In
the second round the negro forced the
Australian into a neutral corner and
dropped him for a count OF nine with
terrific left and right swings to the jaw.
The Australian took a long count
twice more in the fifth, but in spite OF
the heavy punishment he had received
he carried the fight to the "tax baby
next time up, and in a fast mitigating
rally put the latter down. but this was
more by accident than anything else
Lang was greatly excited and pretty
hazy by this time, and he rushed his
striking him heavily before
Lsngford could regain his feet. He was
disqualified.

BOSS cox INDICTED.
Accused of Swearing Falsely Before the
the Grand Jury.

Cincinnati. Feb. %. George n. Cox,
for years head Of the Republican organi-
zation in Cincinnati. prominent factor
in state and national politics and presi.
dent Of the Cincinnati Trust company,
yesterday was indicted by the Hamilton
county grand jury on charge Of per.
jury.
The charge is based on an allegation
that Cox testified falsely before a grand
jury on March 2l, 1906, in DENYING that
he received any Of the interest money
which several banks, according TO the
disclosures before the Drake investigat-
ing committee, paid to the county treas
urer as recompense for the deposit of
county funds
The specific case on which the jury
acted occurred in the administration Of
John H. Gibson, who served as county
treasurer from 1900 10 1904 Gibson ties,
titled before the grand jury Monday that
Cox had received s4S500 Of the So7,064,
which the banks gave Gibson as 'gratu-
tiles" during the latter's service.
Gibson paid s97 ,064 into the county
treasury in 1906. following an investi.
cation by the grand Jury of the Drake
disclosures. Two other treasurers, Til
den r. French and Rudolph Fl Hynick,
respectively, paid S59,450 and $5S,440
to the county.
Less than an hour after the iury's re-
port yesterday, Cox appeared at the
courthouse and gave bail Of $1,000. No
date for his appearance IN court was set.

HYDE DENIES RACE
TRACK BILL STORY
Never at Meeting at Delmonico's to
Raise Fund to Defeat the
Measures.

New York, Feb. %. City Chamberlain
Charles H. Hyde came out fatty on the
witness stand yesterday in the Gardner
race track bribery case and denied that
he had been present at any meeting at
Delmonicos to raise fund to defeat
the racing bill and of his own knowl-
edge had not heard of the raising of
any Doodle fund.
The city chamberlain was much
sought witness during the legislative in
vestigating committee sessions here to
throw light on the efforts TO defeat
racing legislation. It was reported that
Mr.. Hyde was one among the number
Of gentlemen who were present at a din-
ner at Delmonico's and raised 100000
to be used in Albany against the racing
measures. Mr., Hyde returned from
Florida, where he said he had gone for
his health, shortly after the legislative
inquiry was concluded
