JURY PRAYs AND AcoUITs.
kempt Freed Of Charge OF Murder At
Starkvllla

Saskatchewan q verdict of moi
guilty in the case Of c. c. Kemp
charged with the murder Of M. A
Shurden. which consumed several days
in the circuit court, Kemp walked ouI
OF the courthouse a free man.
The jury had made up their verdict
In 10 minutes after entering their
room, but having been told by the
Judge to retire, they decided not to re
turn until morning.
Judge Kimbrough was not aware that
the IL men had decided the case when
he gave the order through a bailiff.
The verdict was a surprise to the
family Of Shurden and relatives. The
jury said that the fervent prayers OF
the body assisted them q great deal In
arriving at their verdict. The foreman
said that when he was accepted as a
juror and took his seat In the box he
was going to be guided in his verdict
through the highest power on earth,
and on the first night before they re-
tired he suggested to the men that
they also be guided by prayers. 9th
ers said that they had done so, and
felt that they had performed their duty
conscientiously.

TWO WET AND FOUR DRY
Ohio and California Retain the Open
Saioon-Prohibition in Arizona.
w. c. T. v. Encouraged.

Chicago.-Four of the six states that
voted on prohibition, according to lat
est returns, decided to forbid the sale
Of alcoholic beverages, and two voted
to retain saloons.
Ohio and California kept their sa'
looms, while Washington, Colorado
Oregon and Arizona closed theirs.
Unofficial returns from Arizona
show that saloons were voted out, the
women aiding materially in reaching
this result.
The vote on saloons in Colorado is
SO close that the result is in doubt, but
the precincts to be heard from are
mostly outside the cities. Prohibition.
lists say later returns from farming
counties will doom saloons.
Ohio retained saloons by a good ma
jority and adopted a home rule amend
ment that was recognized as a saloon
measure.
Missouri defeated the county unit
system of local option, which preclud-
ed the rural vote on saloons In option
elections.

PROHIBITION LOSES IN OHIO
Gubernatorial Election In Ohio 10 Still
In Doubt-Woman's Suffrage and
Prohibition Lose Out.

Cincinnati, O.-With a large number
Of rural precincts still to be heard
from, the race for governor Of Ohio re-
masned In doubt. Frank B. Willis. Re-
publican, was showing steady gains.
Political observers predicted that 1t
would require almost the complete vote
before a definite result could be an
nounced. but that indications, based on
estimates rather than actual figures,
showed a trend toward Willis.
Gov. James M. Cox, Democrat, Meth
er would concede defeat nor claim
election.
The election Of Warren G. Harding,
Republican, to succeed Theodore E.
Burton, Republican, in the United
States senate; the decisive defeat OF
both the woman's suffrage and the
Prohibition amendments, and the prob
able passage of the home rule"
amendment, an act alleged to favor
the wet interests, Is the result thus
far indicated in the Ohio election.

The jury, after a short deliberation,
found the defendant guilty. and the

RETURNS FROM 80 COUNTIES OUT
OF IS GIVE BIC PLURALITY
TO DEMOCRAT.
WELSH IS ELECTED ALSO
Nashville Banner, Hooper's Strongest
Supporter, Comedies Election Of
Rys-West and Middle Ten
nessee Solid for Rye.

NaShvilla.-With complete returns
from SO counties out Of S6 Rye has q
majority Of 1859. The counties which
are not included in this list are the fol
lowing: Polk, Anderson. Bledsoe. Clai'
borne, Meigs. Van Buren, and Davidson,
Returns from five of the East Tennes'
see counties among those that are now
missing are expected to reduce Rye's
majority about 1000.
On the other hand, Davidson county
Is expected to come to the front with a
majority of from 5000 to 1000 for Rye,
and Van Buren, is also expected to
help.
When all the returns are in, 1t is
expected that Rye's majority will be
1000.
The result exceeded the most roseate
expectations Of Democrats herse.
The election at this time. with re-
turns still incomplete, almost looks
like a landslide.
The Nashville Banner, Gov. Hooper's
strongest newspaper supporter. con-
cedes the election Of Rye, Democratic
nominee for governor, by 10000.
Indications on the face Of early re-
turns are that Gen. T. G. Rye has de-
feated Gov. Ben w. Hooper, Repub-
lican, for governor Of Tennessee by q
majority of at least 10000 votes. Al
though majorities for Rye 9 re-
duced In some West Tennessee towns
and cities, in East Tennessee, the Re-
publican stronghold, Hooper's major
tiles were also reduced. The country
districts In West and Middle Tennessee
have come strong for Rye, and 1t is
estimated these districts will roll UP a
sufficient number Of votes on the Sec
ond-day count to make the result in
contestable.
George N. WEIGH, for railroad ON
missioner, middle district, is falling but
little behind the Rye vote, and his
election over Capt. w. H. Sadler Is al
most certain.
Returns indicate no change In the
Tennessee congressional delegation,
and although returns are incomplete, 1t
is estimated the Democrats will have
a comfortable working majority in
both branches Of the ~legilature.

Carrollton.-The jury returned g
verdict of guilty in the case of Bot
Myers, the negro desperate who as
sassinated Sheriff McDougall of that
county, sever years ago, and was
captured a few weeks since up In the
delta.
McDougall was a brotherin-law OF
Gov, Brewer, and the latter, at the
time Of the killing, offered a personal
reward Of $1,000 for the capture Of the
assassin, Myers remained In Missis'
sippi for nearly seven years, and his
capture was due to the characteristic
habit Of boasting about his crime.
The jury returned a verdict Of guilty
without recommendation, and Myers
will be sentenced to death by Judge
Teat. II is understood that an appea'
to the supreme court will be taken.

WOMEN WIN IN TWO STATES
Montana and Nevada Give Votes 10
Women-Official Vote Necessary
to Decide in Former.

Chicago.-Woman suffrage leaders
| rejoiced when belated returns indi-
Gated that votes for women apparent
ly had been granted in two Of the
seven states voting on the question,
with a third state still In doubt. First
returns had indicated defeat of the
voting franchise to the women In all
| states concerned.
Montana and Nevada, according to
the latest returns, granted votes to
women, while Nebraska showed such a
small vote against the proposal that
the women claimed the state. Mis-
souri,, Ohio and North and South Da-
kota refused to grant equal suffrage.
In Montana the official count will
be necessary to decide the outcome,
but the women have a slight lead on
unofficial and incomplete returns.
In Nevada, which seems won to the
cause of equal suffrage, los precincts
out of 24O gave 3,619 votes for wom-
ems votes and A50S against.
The effect of women's votes on pro-
hibition indicated that women do not
unanimously oppose saloons.
Women failed in two Pacific coast
states to urn out saloons. California
and Washington voted for the first
time on the question Of prohibition,
and in both the voting of women Is
comparatively a novelty. The vote In
favor of retaining the saloons was
large in both states.
The California proposed amendment
was very drastic and would have pro-
hibited the manufacture of wines, one
Of the chief industries of the state.
The severences Of the proposed law
is given by leaders Of the Anti-Saloon
league as a possible reason for the
defeat of the measure.
The women Of California probably
aided in passing a law to close all re
sorts with women inmates. Early re-
turns indicated that segregated vice
quarters in California would be voted
out.

tional committee that James D. Phelan,
Democrat, had been elected in Cali
fornia, and that Senatorc Shively and
Thomas, Democrats, had been re-elect-
ed In Indiana and Colorado. Other re-
ports. however. placed all three seats

ing victories.
In California, Representative Joseph
R. Knowland, Republican,; James B.
Phelan, Democrat, former mayor Of
San Francisco, and Francis J. Heney
are candidates for the seat of Senator
Perkins. No Indications Of the result
had been received, although the re-

the Progressive leaders hope that the

Walsh Leads.

Boston.-Gov. David I. Walsh, Dem.
ocrat, was leading. according TO re-
turns from three-quarters of the state
in the election. but it was uncertain
whether the Democrats again had OBJ
tanned other places on the state ticket.
The smallness Of the Progressive
vote. which last year gave the party
secoud place in the state, was a fea'
ture of the election. In the first 1856
election districts compiled the total for
Joseph Walker, the party nominee for
governor, vas but 22,916, as against
$3.50 for Charles s. Bird, who headed
the ticket a year ago.
Congressional figures were slow In
coming in. Early returns indicated
little change in the complexion OF the
Massachusetts delegation.
