FOUR REVOLUTIONS IN

Washington, July 9.-With foul
separate revolutions raging simulta'

to the country returning home after
several months of fruitless effort to
restore peace, the little republic OF
San Domingo is causing grave anx-

COMING Rack FROM CANADA
Fewer American Citizens Emigrass
NOrthward Now

Washington. July 11-secretary
Wilson OF the department OF labor
IL pleased at reports he is receiving
which indicate that the number of
American citizens emigrating to Can
ada is decreasing. For several years
the tide Of emigration across the
northern borders OF the United
States grew to. such proportions. as
TO cause anxiety to government off,
Gals and others. During 1919 97,-
s61 American citizens went to Can
ada while the number returning
from that country to the United
States was only ss.S17.
When he became secretary OF la
Dor Mr.. Wilson ordered that the
departmental bulletins giving facts
as to the products, resources and
physical characters Of all the states
be sent to American residents In
Canada. In response many inquiries
for more specific information began
to come In.
For the eleven months ending on
May 81, 1914, It is stated at the de-
partment, 1886 citizens Of this
country went over into the Dominion
while 44,127 Americans returned to
the United States. A gratifying fea-
ture Of the return movement to Sec
rotary Wilson is that large numbers
of those coming back are seeking
information from the department as
to the location of land on which they
may settle.

Washington, July 10.-OfficiaI
figures of recent elections, primaries

A careful analysis of these figures,

the trend of political sentiment from
Maine to California. The swing

The figures show that the condi-
ton that resulted in the election of
Wilson is wiped out and that the
readjustment has been favorable to
the Republican party in every in
stance. The total vote in primar-
les and congressional elections was
in most cases, less than that in the
presidential election two years ago,
but even in New Jersey, the total
vote in the congressional election
fell away forty per cent, yet the
Republican gain was SO per cent
over 1912. In the Second Iowa dis
trict, the decrease In the total vote,
compared with 1912, was 38 per
cent, yet the Republican gain was
27 per cent. In the senatorial pri-
mary in Pennsylvania, the total vote
was forty nine per cent less than the
total vote in the presidential cleo
ton two years ago, but the Repub-
lican gain was FL per cent.
One of the most significant of the
returns is that of the Minnesota cleo
ton for governor, in which the Re-
publican gain was 200 per cent, in
spite Of the fact that the total vote
was 81 per cent less than the vote
for president in 1912.

Four forged checks, each for S1o

plumber. Hansen claimed that he was
employed by Hunter, the plumber. The

Hansen's operations are Tiep and

former would walk into the store, buy
something for small amount, and
would present the check as payment
One of the merchants stated that he
is sure that he saw Hansen in Cedar
Rapids before. In fact, he thought he
knew Hansen, and for this reason was
not suspicious. 1t is possible that the
forger passed more checks which were
not made public. The forged instru

streets Tuesday evening. While walk
ing past the Pfieffer building at Fourth

blow with a pool ball which bore the

escaped injury. Considerable mystery
surrounds the affairs inasmuch as
Dr. Hansen does not know whether the
ball was thrown from a window in one
of the upper stories of the building
or whether it was thrown from across
the street. At any rate 1t struck the
cement walk with sufficient force to
break it in pieces. Another strange
feature in connection with IKE story Is
that pool ball bearing the same
number was found missing from the
billiard parlors of AL Sorenson late in
the afternoon.
