ROOSEVELT WINS CALIFORNIA.
More Than Four-ffths Of Nominees
Pledged to Him.


San Francisco.-Taft Republicans
saved very little out of the wreck at
the Presidential primaries More than
eighty out Of 100 nominees for the
State Legislature are pledged to vote
for Roosevelt electors in the legisla-
tive convention, which means that
CALIFORNIA; thirteen electorate votes
will be cast for him unless the Taft
men can devise some method of
blocking the game.
Three Taft Republican Congressman
are elected-Kahn in the Fourth,
Knowland in the Sixth and Needham
in the Seventh. Curry in the Third
and E. A. Hayes in the Eighth are
Taft Congressman who seem to be
elected, but the fight is SO close that
all the returns will have to be can
vassed before the result Is sure.
The victory of the Progressives in
San Francisco came as a surprise
even to the Progressives themselves.
The same thing occurred in Los An
geles, which used to be the banner
city in the State in rolling up big Re-
publican majorities.

SUFFRAGE BEATEN IN OHIO.
Defeats Proposed Amendment to Con-

Defeats Proposed Amendment to Con-
stitution by Large Majority.
Columbus, Ohio.-All the amend
ments proposed by the recent state
constitutional convention save that
providing for woman suffrage were
approved by the voters at special
election. Ohio's constitution will be
one of the most radical in the United
States.
The amendments adopted include
the initiative and referendum, home
rule for cities, license system for sa
looms, taxation of incomes and inheri
tances, abolition of capital punish
ment, minimum wage, eight hour day
on public work and thirty-five others.
The women agitating suffrage con.
Quoted an aggressive and spectacular
campaign. Their aggressiveness at
tracted the fire of an organization op-
posed to suffrage. but the principal
cause of their defeat is to be traced
to the liquor interests. These have
been we'll organized in Ohio for years
and they found it easy to have their
license amendment put through Since
they had their vote well in hand, it
also was easy for them to turn their
strength against Suffrage.

REBELLION IN
NICARAGUA ENDS
Government Forces Win In
Three Decisive Battles.
MANY PRISONERS CAPTURED
Makes Progress Toward Checking the
RevoIt-Army Active in Different
Sections-Treachery Found
Prominent Officers in Jail.

Washington.-The Nicaraguan Gov
ernment has bestirred itself and made
considerable progress toward putting
down the revolution in that country,
according to dispatches to the State
Department from United States Min
lister Weltzel
Col. Dias has defeated $50 Zelayis-
tas under Col. Berries at La Paz.
La Paz is on the railroad from Co.
rinto to Nicaragua. More than 1000
rounds of rebel ammunition were cap
tured, and Col Berries, who was Sub
Secretary of War under Zelaya, was
taken prisoner. The same afternoon
the Government won a more impor-
tant victory at Tipatapa, where the
rebels several weeks ago won one of
the first engagements of the revolu-
tion. Gen. Arsenic Cruz defeated the
force of 500 men under Col. Cerillos.
and recaptured Tipatapa. The Gov
ernment forces made prisoners of two
colonels, including Cerillos, eight cap
tains and thirty-three subordinate Of
ficers of the rebel force.
az Ilibe, oll lle east sue OF
Lake Managua, the Government
forces captured Gen. Irias, a deputy
in the National Assembly, with 14O
armed men. This force was attempt.
ing to join Gen. Mena at Grenada.
1t is reported that Mena at Grenada
and Zeledon at Masaya have collected
a great deal Of cash by robbery and
extortion. Much treachery has been
uncovered in the administration
forces. 1t Is stated that the peniten-
tiary at Managua is becoming filed
with prominent army officers who
were found to be plotting against the
Government. 1t is expected here that
Admiral Southerland and his subor-
dinate officers will see that the Gov
ernment authorities do not exercise
the same cruelties toward rebel pris-
oners as the revolutionists are being
accused of in the cities where they
are in control.
! 1t is the belief at the State and
Navy departments that the revolution
In Nicaragua is over and no serious
disturbances are looked for.

CoIlapses, but When He Returns
His Three Children are Swept
Away by the Torrent.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-As a result of tor
rental rains throughout West Nir-
ginia, western Pennsylvania and east
ern Ohio thirty-siX persons are dead
and others missing. Added to the
list of fatalities are ten foreigners in
Golfers, w. Va, bringing the list
up to four, and one in Woodlawn, Pa.
near this city.
From meagre reports it is believed
the monetary damage will reach close
to $1,500,000.
The storm was the most devastat-
ing in the history OF the localities
mentioned. All small streams left
their banks, spreading over a wide
territory, and transportation faclli-
ties in all directions from this city
were practically put out of commits
sion.
After a twenty-four hour period OF
excessively hot weather the storm
broke. In addition to an extraordinary
rainfall the electrical features were
most spectacular. The steady rain
caused every stream to leave its
banks. In a short time the water had
washed away railroad tracks in many
places and sent tons of earth from sur
rounding hills, making impossible
all thoroughfares in the flood zone.
Latest reports from the various
districts give the following table OF
fatalities:
Golfers, w. Va, nine dead. 1t is
estimated that twenty persons met
death.
Cherry Valley, Pa, six drowned.
Burgettstown, Pa, one drowned.
Avella, Pa, three drowned
Cannonsburg, Pa, three drowned.
At Avella, Washington County,
three children of Henry Crow were
drowned. The house was located near
little stream, which rose so rapidly
that it undermined the building, and
when it collapsed Mrs. Crow was
badly injured. Crow fastened to her
rescue and saved her, but before he
could return for the children they
were swept away. They were Amelia,
twelve years old; John, twelve, and
Grace, four.
Two other children were tossed
about for a time on the surface of the
food and then thrown on the bank OF
the stream, where they were found by
the distracted father.
Many manufacturing plants are un
der water. The known dead are:
Cook White, farmer, Burgettstown
Pa.
George Gillespie, Cherry Valley, Pa
Mrs. Gillespie, Cherry Valley. Pa.

Many Republican leaders claimed
that the threatening weather contrib
uted to the falling off in the party
vote. These men stated that the reg
istered vote of Vermot was close to
10000, and that had weather condi-
tions been fair the party would have
rolled up a total of over 100000 for Mr..
Fletcher The vote in the hill towns,
the Republican strongholds, fell off
materially.
The strength of the Progressive
party was more pronounced on the
east side of the Green Mountains and
among those towns along the Cana
dian border where the Republican re-
ciprocity measure was distasteful
1t is the vote of the Progressive
forces, drawn from the Republican
party, that is responsible for the re-
suit. The Democratic vote showed a
gain. The significant feature of this,
however, was that it stood. intact
against the onslaught of the Bull
Moose.

Burlington, Vt.-With five tickets
in the field, Vermont failed to elect
a Governor. Returns give the Demo
Gratis and Progressive candidates to-
gether about 5000 more votes than
the Republican candidate received,
with less than 1,400 votes for either
the Prohibition or Socialist candidate.
The combined Republican and Pro
gressive vote shows a gain of exactly
80 per cent. over 1910. The Demo
cratic vote shows a gain of 32.5 per
cent. over 1910. While the Republl-
can party is split 40 per cent. Roose-

Democratic party has gained per

Congress in the two Vermont dis
tricts.
A very heavy vote was cast and the
Democrats polled their full share OF
the increase over the 1910 vote, an Off

if any, gains by defections from any
other party,
Returns show that the next Legis-
lature will contain 10 Republican, So

The strength of the Progressive
party and the gain of the Democrats
over previous elections were the fea-
lures.
The Rev. Mr.. MetZger carried the
city of Barre and score of small

PRIVATE MESSAGES
SAY HAWAIlS VOTE
WAS FOR MCG0VERN

Surprise and incredulity greeted the
publication yesterday afternoon of the
Associated Press cablegram contain.
ing the news that Hawaii's delegation
at Chicago had voted for McGovern
for temporary chairman and against
Senator Root, the Taft choice.
There we're at once a lot of people
who declared the cablegram was too
silly to be true and proclaimed that a
mistake had been made by the Asso'
ciated Press or the cable operators.
At least two messages from private
sources have confirmed the news, how
ever. The Bulletin received the
following cablegram shortly after
o'clock yesterday afternoon:

chairman. Hawaii voted for McGov

1T is more probable that the action
