Texas Is Voting on Prohibition of the
Liquor Traffic

Dallas. Texas. July 22.-With heavy
rains falling over many of the dry"
strongholds in the northern portion of
the state and fair weather prevailing
in the ''wet" country farther south, the
voters of Texas are today deciding the
question of statewide prohibition. In
spite of the bad weather in many
towns and cities in the north portion,
however, a record breaking vote is be-
ing polled.
The vote is on a constitutional
amendment to prohibit both the sale
and manufacture of liquor. At the
antistate-wide prohibition headquar-
ters at Houston, State Chairman ]. F.
Wolters claims the state will go wet
by 5000 out of a probable total vote
of about 5000 State Chairman Ball
of the prohibitionists is confident of an
equally large majority for prohibition.
At LOckart, in the central portion of
the state, Richard Bragg, a negro, was
shot and seriously wounded early to-
day after returning from a political
rally for negroes.
One election row was reported early
from Paris, in north Texas, where
two prominent men of opposing faith
turned their umbrellas into wea pons
and painfully injured each others
heads.
In many places women and children
have projected their influence into the
campaign in the last "A hours by
marching, singing and serving lunches.
At Fort Worth about 1000 women
have undertaken an all-day fast today
for the success of prohibition.
Governor Sees s'Wet'' Victory.
Dallas. Tex. July Ex-Governor Oscar
B. Colquitt this afternoon predicted that
Texas would repudiate the doctrine of
state wide prohibition in the election to-
day by a majority of. at least 100, coo votes
Several hundred school children who, ap-
parently did not agree with the governor
in his prediction, followed him to the
polls singing Texas Going Dry"

RAIN IN DEATH VALLEY.
CIoudbursts Follow a Temperature of
14O Degrees.

San Bernardino, Cal, July "a
Cloudbursts that filled canyons with
debris and turned nine buildings into
households, marked the climax Of a
hot wave which sent the mercury up
to 14O degrees in the Death Valley sink
during the week The terrific heat
drove miners and prospectors out of
the desert just in time to avoid the
heaviest precipitation experienced for
so years.
News of the storms1have been slow
in reaching here but reports at hand
indicate considerable changes in the
topography of the floodswepts regions
The roar of thunder in sections more
than 100 miles from II is city could
be heard here.
In the zone intersected by. the Tono-
ah-Tidewater railroad, many canyons
were almost completely f.jled with de-
bris and at the mines bunk houses

FOR $4,000 PRIZE
AerOplane Circuit Race of Great
Britain Starts.
Beaumont Makes First 90 Miles
in 20 Minutes.

Brooklands, Eng. July 22.-The
competitors in the circuit of Great
Britain aeroplane race for a prize of
$50, 900 offered by the Daily Mail of
London started from here at 4 o'clock
this afternoon. Lieutenant Beaumont
the French airman and winner of the
recent European contest, was the first
to get away for Hendon. vhere the
first days flight of 20 miles ended.
Seven nationalities arc represented
in the race. The only American en-
tered is c. T. Weymann. who, as the
representative of the United States,
won the international aviation cup at
East Church on July l. In this event
he is using a Nieuport monoplane.
The task set for the airmen is con-
sidered very difficult The track lies
north from BroOklands to Edinburgh
and starting south to Glasgow, Man
chester and Exeter, east to Brighton
and north again to Brooklands, a total
of 1,010 miles. The conditions are
severe.
Under the conditions of the compe-
tition, the flying men must do the cir
cult with their aeroplanes practically
intact. The most important parts of
each machine were marked before the
start ana these parts must be kept to-
gether throughout the race. This is a
requirement radically different from
the rules that governed the European
circuit competition, in which the men
who finished had changed their aero
planes at some stage of the journey or
made s1bstituticns of iru uportant parts.
Hendon, Eng, July 22.-Lieutenant
A Beaumont, in a BleriCt monoplane,
reached here at 4:2O o'clock, having
covered the first days flight of 20
miles from Brooklands at the rate of a
mile a minute. He descended amid
the cheers of great crowd.
H J. d. Ashley landed at 4:28.
Lieutenant John c. Porte, Of the
British navy, came to grief soon after
height of so feet and was wrecked.
Porte was uninjured.
J. VedrineS was the next man to
reach Hendon, covering the first stage
of 30 miles in 19 minutes and As sec
onds.
Beaumont's time was 20 minutes,
3 3-5 seconds.
A dozen OF the airmen landed with
in one hour.
Weymann, American, landed at
6:15 o'clock. having developed a tre-
mendous burst of speed.
From st. Petersburg to Moscow.

First Under Agreement.
The bill is the first of the measures
to be disposed of under the voting
agreement which also provide dates for
votes on the wool tariff revision, tfee
list, New Mexico-ArizOna statehood and
the congressional reappOrtionment bills.
Following the passage of the bill by
the senate and it's immediate signature
by Vice President Sherman, the meas
ure must be ''messaged'' back to the
house which originated it, engrossed Oh
parchment, signed by Speaker Clark
and then signed by President Taft. Of
ficially and theoretically, the engross-
ment must be done while the house is
in session, but, in fact, it is already
on parchment
The fight for reciprocity, the su-
preme campaign of the present ad-
ministration, had its inception at a
conference, 1 months ago at Albany,
N. Y. etween President Taft and
Canadian Minister of Finance Fielding
and since then it has been carried
along through two congresses, fruit
lessly through the last one because it
was becalmed in the senate and sue
cessfully in the present extra session
cOnvoked by the president expressly
for the ratification. More than two
thirds of the senate support the bill
The bill passed by the Republican
house last session was introduced by
Representative Mccall (Mass.) The
present measure was fathered by
Democratic Leader Underwood of the
house, chairman of the tariff-making
ways and means committee.

SpreckeIs Says America Can
Compete With the World
In the Production and Manu-
facture of Sugar.

New York, July 22.-How the war
between the Spreckels interest and the
American Sugar Refining company
was settled and how in the deal the
Havemeyers and John E. Searles made
an enormous profit, was told the spe-
cial congressional committee investi-
eating the trust today by Claus Angus
tus Spreckels The witness is presi-
dent of the Federal Sugar Refining
company of YOnkers, and is son of
the late Claus Spreckels, of California
Mr. Spreckels said that in his opin-
ion the removal or big reduction of
the tariff on sugar would decrease the
price of refined sugar in this country
two cents a pound.
''It would also be the best thing for
louisiana" he said. 1.-THE planters
down there are antiquated. use ancient
methods and machinery and are not
scientific farmers. The reduction in
the tariff would wake them up and
mod ernize them like it dad Hawaii"
Mr.. Spreckels said the refineries and
plants of both beet and cane sugar in
| this country could compete with the
world without a tariff. he said that
without a tariff the production of
the jam and jelly industry could be
taken away from England and the
chocolate production of this country
could be vastly increased.
Beet sugar can be made for less
than three cents a pound and If you

ROOSEVELT TELLS WHY.
The Colonel Explains the Delay In
Development OF Alaska.

New York, July 22.-Theodore Roose-
velt has an article on the developments
or Alaska in today's issue of The Out~i
look. He declares two factors to ba
responsible for retarding progress i,E
this direction. great capitalists who,
wished to develop Alaska by making
enormous fortunes for themselves out
side of and IN defiance of the Law. ~
and the congressman who under pre-
tense of hostility to the corporations.
declines to permit the passage of legis-
lation which will enable them to 40
their work honestly and to develop the
coal fields with a fair profit to them
selves, while doing Justice to others -
Referring specifically to the Control
Ter Bay case. MIR. Roosevelt says:
In this connection I wish also to
call attention to the essential fact as
regards the Controller Bay situation.
Controller Bay, under actual conditions.
offers the only chance or at any rate.
very much the best chance, for a free
outlet from the great Bering river coal
fields. 1t was the imperative duty Of
the government service to keep this
outlet free and not to dispose of it TO
any individual or individuals The gov
ernmcnt should have held this land in
perpetuity, permitting it's use by any
individual or corporation only under
conditions that would subserve the gen
eral public interest Unfortunately. tho
mated from the government reserve not
only the S20 acres, the elimination oe
which was mistakenly recommended bY
the agricultural department, but 1890
acres. Whether there was or was not
impropriety in the way in which tha
elimination was brought about, whether
or not there was impropriety in the ac-
tion which resulted in the instant Ill
ing Of claims by Mr.. Ryan and others.
does not go to the root of the matter. /
The root Of the matter is that no SUCH
elimination should have been made BIZ.
the interior department.
THE public interest demanded that
this land should be kept under public
control and that to prevent monopoly.
it's use should be permitted only unde-
such conditions as the public need re-
quired. Remember always that sucfI
action would not have hindered develop ,
ment; it would have favored deveIop-.
ment, for it would have enabled any
honest corporation to come in and do
its part in developing the country with
out fear Of being crowded out by some
other corporation which, through un-
wise government action, might obtain
a monopolistic right. 1t Is absolutely
essential to the proper deveIopo7 ent of
our waterways within the United
States and It is essential to the proper
development of the Alaska coal fields -
