ment and this was gone when the

HOT CAMPAIGN
Z COMES TO END
Maine Voters Will Decide Mon
day Whether the State Will
Remain "Dry"

Portland. Me-. Sept. 9.-One of the
most bitterly fought and most siren
uous campaigns ever known to New
England ended I'm this State today and
on Monday the voters or Maine will
decide by their ballots whether the
policy OF constitutional prohibition of
the liquor traffic, which has prevailed
for more than a quarter of century,
shall be retained or not. Both sides
In the fight have been extremely ac-
tive and for many weeks the State has
been flooded with campaign literature.
Meetings for and against the PROPOSE
tlon to eliminate prohibition as a con-
stitutional feature were held by tho
score in all parts OF the State. The
press was divided upon the question
and each side devoted columns to ar
guments and attacks. Speakers of
both parties presented their respective
sides to thousands OF attentive listen
ers and even women and children were
drawn into the agitation by the prohi-
htion element.
Constitutional prohibition, I'm which
Maine was the pioneer, was first adopt
ed in 1884. In 1851 bill for the re-
submission of the subject was before
the legislature. but was defeated In
1907 similar proposition was again
defeated, but only by narrow mar
gin. But at the last election a Dem
ocratic governor and Democratic leg
islature were elected and resubmisslon
was voted. The Issue will be decided
next Monday. but although both sides
claim victory, the result of the cleo
ton is extremely doubtful.

MAY CEDE
ISLANDS TO U. s.
DANISH WEST INDIES MAY BE.
COME PROPERTY OF. UNITED
STATES IN NEAR
FUTURE.

Copenhagen. Sept. 9.-The official
announcement that the Panama canal
will be opened in 1915 has again given
rise to the rumor that negotiations for
the cession of the Danish West Indian
islands to the United States has been
opened DIR. Maurice Egan. the Amer
lean minister. refuses to discuss the
matter, but his frequent interview with
business men interested In the islands
has given some color to the rumor.
II Is known that DR.. Egan believes that
the commercial growth of the islands
change I'm ownership. but evidently he
is convinced that all overtures on the
subject should emanate from the Dan
lsh government. The story that there
has been a proposition broached to
cede one of the Philippine Islands to
cesslon to Germany I'm exchange for
Schleswig has been pronounced ridic-
ulous by the American legation here.
Besides the opening of the canal and
its possible effects on the Danish West
Indies. the growing interest of the
South American republics in Danish
commerce is exciting interest here
This Is due largely to the growth Of
exports from the United States to Den
mark. A remarkable feature OF the
trade relations between the two coun-
tries Is the fact that in spite of the
lowering of the duties on hides by the
United States the export of them from
this country to America has almost
ceased.

Historical Society had erected at
Christiana, in the eastern part of this
county to mark the site of the old log
cabin around which. sixty years ago.
ragged the "Christiana Riot" one of the
most famous and bloody conflicts be-
tween slavery and anti slavery ele-
ments before the civil war.
The Christiana riot was the out
growth of an attempt by a Maryland
STAKEHOLDER to regain possession of four
runaway slaves. The negroes. who
were claimed by Edward Gorsuch as
his property, crossed the Susquehanna
River at the Columbia bridge and, by
means OF the famous underground rail-
road were spirited TO the eastern bor-
der of the county. where they were de-
tanned until arrangements could be
made for their transportation further
north.
A negro tavern keeper i'm Philadel-
phia learned that warrants had been
issued for the arrest of the Gorsuch
slaves and hurried to Christiana to
give the alarm. When the party, con-
sisting of Marshal Kline. Edward Cor
such, Dickinson Gorsuch. his son. DIR.
Thomas Pearce. a nephew, Joshua Cor
such. and two hired assistants arrived
with their warrants at Christiana on
the morning of September IL. 1851. the
fugtives, who were secreted i'm the ca
bin of a negro named Parker, were
prepared for them
Marshal Kline and Edward Gorsuch
battered down the door Of the cabin
and asked the slaves. hidden in the at
tic. to surrender. The negroes refused
to surrender and the warrants were
read to them. About this time Cast
ner Hanaway and Elijah Lewis, two
white residents. known for their strong
Ianti-slavery ideas. appeared upon the
scene. They were called upon by the
marshal TO assist In capturing the
slaves. but positively refused TO lend
their hand.
When the marshal's party attempted
to storm the attic. the negroes opened
fire and Edward Gorsuch was killed
and Dickinson Gorsuch and DIR. Pearce
were wounded. Noting that the cabin
was surrounded by armed negroes.
Marshal Kline gave up the attempt to
capture the slaves.
The Federal authorities promptly
took steps to prosecute the rioters. All
the negroes who participated in the
riot were arrested together with sew
eral white men. including Hanaway.
Lewis and ScarIett. They were taken
to Philadelphia and there tried on the
charge of treason, The trial lasted fif-
teen days and. although the presiding
judges. Grier and Name were strong
pro-slavery men. the jury acquitted
the prisoners What lent additional
interest TO the exercises today was the
presence at the unveiling of Peter
Wood, a negro who, as a boy took part
in the riot armed with a corn cutter.
