MCCORMICK
REVERSED
BY Majority of Local
Option Contest Board
Yesterday.
Case viii Likely be Appealed to
Circuit Court.

When the Contest Board, COM
posed of County Judge McCor-
mick, and Magistrates G. G.
Thompson and Jno. G. Trimble,
met Saturday to hear the contest
filed by VIM. Bolts, etc., to set
aside the recent local option cleo
ton held in this county, objection
was made to Judge Mccormick as
member of the board on the
ground he had already passed on
the points involved, and after con-
sldering the matter he decided to
vacate the bench, and Keller
Greene, County Court Clerk, was
called, as the law requires. to fill
the vacancy.
After hearing the evidence and
argument of counsel, Messrs.
Thompson and Trimble, constitul-.
ing majority of the Board, de-
cided that the County Judge erred
in calling the election, after suf
iicient number of the original sign
ers of the petition had Withdrawn
TO reduce the number to less than
the requisite twenty-five per cent,
and further erred in permitting the
petitioners to file supplemental pc
titions on the trial. County Clerk
Greene dissented from the judg-
ment of the majority.
An appeal will likely be taken
by the "drys" to the Circuit Court
and the losing side there will I'M
doubtedly appeal to the Court of
Appeals, where the matter will be
finally determined.

of much wonderment In politieal quar-

At $40 yestcrdav afternoon the vice

fast train for Chicago and his se sre-
tory gave It out that II was private

later admitted he had gone TO Chicago.
That sunny JIM has hur ried to the
Windy City for the purpose of holding
an important political conference bear

beat Roosevelt at any cost. Is the talk

One story was that he had gone to see
Robert Todd Lincoln, son OF the
Inartyred President, and former Secre-
tary OF War, and that a movement was
on to take UP with him as the third
man, to sidetrack Taft. and to center

dictment against Lawrence, E. Dodge,
Stephen c. Weaver and Herbert c. Hop
kins, charging them with conspiracy to
defraud. has been dismissed by United
States Attorney Clarence r. Wilson at
the request Of parties affected.
The indictment, which was returned
April 4. 1910, sets forth that the alleged
conspiracy was against DR.. Thomas V.
Hammond, who was divested of security
on note for 5000, It was claimed. 1t

that william d. Hoover, one of~the
trustees. resigned rather than sign .
release of the trust without seeing the
cancelled note.

Hoover, Il WIS alleged. the whole
trusteeship was vested in Ira w. Hop
kins, and that the three defendants

trusts, one for 81, 800 and the other for
5000. were then placed on the property
involved In the transaction, and that
