COOPER GETS OUT.
Aged Heart Breaker Surranders
and Is Locked Up.
Released This Afternoon on a
Supreme Court Order.

Shortly before noon today. John ).
Cooper, TOpeBa's champion heart
breaker. walked to the county Jail
building and surrendered himself to the
county authorities: and today for the
first time IN his life, ate a meal be-
hind prison bars.
IN soon be out of here" Cooper de-
clared confidently to a visitor at the
Jail building; and the old reassurins
smile that entered in the heart con
quests Of former days, spread over the
old mans face. He was not disay-
pointed; and if defeated, was too game
to admit it. The old spirit Of fight
that has characterized Cooper's legal
battles in the days of old, still was 81
preme, even though his latest compli-
cation had landed him behind the bars
in company with common criminals.
Cooper evidently knew what he was
talking about for at noon Chief Justice
Johnston. of the supreme court, grant
ed a writ of habeas corpus releasing
Cooper from jail. He was released on
bond of $1,000 and has until NoVem Der
IS to tell the supreme court why he
disobeyed the mandate of the distric-
court. He was released this afternoon.
There was no parlor suite awaiting
Cooper when the big iron door at the
county prison swung open TO welcome
the new guest. Cooper viewed his firt
proof surroundings with calm com
placence and offered no regrets nor
apologies. He had no comments TO
make as to the iron floor, the steel
ceilings or the heavy iron bars that
made secure his surroundings

on the upholstered furniture. There
were none of these in the new home
into which Cooper walked today.
But it won't last long" Cooper was
saying. "It won't last long. My law
yers will soon get me out of this. Just
wait and see"
And then Cooper leaned back against
the iron grating of the stuffy little cell
and wiped at the bald spot Or his head
with a big. red bandana handkerchief
Then he closed his pair Of rather tired
grey. ewes and probably dreamed of the
loves of long, long ago; when il wasn'-

1t was found by comparison, how
ever. that in four cases the figures
of the town clerks We're reversed from
their early returns and in each case
the clerks claimed the error to be in
the official figures. After hearings on
the subject, the governor and council
took thc matter under consideration
and the result was the announcement
last night that Maine retained consti-
tlitiOnal prohibition by 75S votes.
Governor Plaisted, at the end of the
meeting, said that at an early date,
probably in February, he would call a
special session of the legislature to
submit an amendment to the consti-
tuition which will permit the enactment
of laws concerning the liquor traffic
which are capable of honest enforce
ment because sustained by the senti-
which they viii be applied"
An ana Iysis Of the vote, the governor
declared, showed an overwhelming ma
