dragged about 80 feet and his legs
were picked up about this distance from
the body.
After Roybal had been struck by the
train his body was left on the tracks

received, but the court had to make its
investigation.

and later released, but will be required to
appear before the court for IN inyesti
cation. The men who were arrested were

Ell Paso, Sept. II.
Editor FL Paso Herald:
What do you think of city the size
Of FL Paso allowing the blood from a
dead man to stay on the sidewalk as in
the case of the negro who had his
throat cut and bled to death on Texas
street Tuesday night? I can't con-
ceive why the authorities would allow
this blood TO remain on the sidewalk
over night, when, it could have been
removed so much easier a few min
utes after the crime. It is simply
disgrace to this city to allow any
thing like this. The blood from this
dead man will be there for weeks un-
less special effort is made to wash
it out. The writer was walking down
the street to his business early the
next morning. when he ransacross this
CHASTITY sight, not knowing that a
crime had been perpetrated during the
night. few minutes afterwards the
block was crowded with people and
finally someone in the vicinity came
along with a broom and some water
and endeavored to wash it out. Ought
not the police look after things of this
nature? Pedestrian.

RESULT IN MAINE
STILL IN DOUBT
Figures Sent Out by Clerks
Do Not Agree and Is
SHE Is Undecided

sue Is UnQoc1O6Q
Portland. Me-. Sept 1.-THE fate Of
the constitution prohibition in Maine
remained in doubt today. On the face
of the unofficial returns. there ap-
peared to be q visible majority on the
prohibition side. In two instances,
however, the unofficial returns from
the town and city vlerks. do not
agree with the figures sent by the
same clerks to the secretary of state
at Augusta.
Returns received at the office of the
secretary of state at noon today with
only six towns missing, and these six
supplied by returns received in Port
land, showed:
For repeal of prohibition. so.517
Against repeal $1,000. 60.3S3
Majority for repeal. 49,. 134
If the figures received in Portland
from Limestone, Matinicus Isle and
Topsfield, which have been shown to
be reversed as compared with those
received in Augusta. are allowed, they
will show a victory against the re-
peal, of 336.
An official recount will probably be
necessary to determine the result of
the balloting.
Error i'm Report.
An error discovered in the report
given officially by the clerk of the
town of Limestone contributed largely
to the uncertainty as to the outcome
Of the election. 1t was discovered
that in reporting the vote in the town,
the clerk returned to the Associated
Press over his signature: For repeal,
II; against repeal, It's.
To the secretary of state he re-
ported just the reverse.
Figures furnished by secretary of
state Davis as compiled from mail re-
turns from all but Is cities and towns
in the state and with the missing 1S
supplied from press returns, showed
an apparent majority for repeal Of 155
votes. OF the Is towns supplied by
press returns, four were received by
mail from the clerks and nine are the
early figures which it was not since
been possible to verify. The figures
of the total vote as furnished from the
GLIDING the Is towns supplied to Mr..
Davis from press returns are:
$3.50. ~ ''''
Between the Associated Press's re-
turns as revised almost complete by
clerks and the figures of the secretary
of state there is a marked discrepancy,
the press returns indicating at late
hour last night a majority OF 347
against repeal.
The total vote as indicated by the
Associated Press's returns:
For repeal 60,241: against repeal,
60,5SS.
In view of the closeness Of the vote
it was believed that only the official
canvass by the governor and council
would definitely determine the re-
suit.
The discrepancy in the Limestone re-
turns, it was said, would make a
change of 326 votes in the total. Eff
forts were being made tonight to reach
Limestone to learn which or the
clerks reports is correct.

No federal soldiers will be permit

soldiers who fought with Madero in the

1t was the original intention of the
Mexican government to send number
of battalions into the state of Chihua-

any danger of friction between the
