BALLOTS BECAME MIXED
Referendum Blanks Accidentally

ton Ballots
BALLOTS BECAME MIXED

Bennington yesterday voted dry for
the first time since the local option
law went into effect. The vote was
579 yes and 5S1 no. no majority Of
two.
The first count gave a license ma
jority of one. This was increased to
three by license votes found In the
referendum box, but when the result
was announced by Moderator Holden,
Rev. Geo. S. Nils demanded re-
count which was made.
This recount showed several refer
endum ballots mixed In with the IL
cense votes and when these had been
eliminated it was found that Ben
nington had voted no license.
To say that the town was dunn
founded is putting it mildly. Even
the ardent no license workers ex-
pected only to reduce the majority
and quite a number of supporters Of
no license within five minutes walk
of the hall did not vote thinking their
cause was hopeless. At the same
ime many license voters were so
sure of winning that they did not
bother to vote.
Hindsight is always valuable and
today everybody is telling how it
happened. The best theory seems to
be that The result is protest at the
way the business has been handled
here rather than any test on the IL
cense issue.
The fragrant violation of the law
relative to selling to people when
they were intoxicated by two or
three dealers, the fact that habituai
drunkards made a continual nuisance
on the streets practically every day.
the selling to minors and posted men
which has been gong on here with
out restraint, and the feeling that the
license commissioners or a majority
OF them, we're not doing their duty
caused a reaction against license
II is not the no license woi kers or
their literature that had any great
effect, but the excuses of some few
Of he license holders and their
friends which carried Bennington for
no license.
Sandgate is the only town in the
county that voted license and it is
likely that no license will be granted
there. In other words, Bennington
couny has Joined the 'lily-whites.
On the fifth class license the vote
in Bennington was yes 377. no 52S.

STEEL IN CORSET
SAVED NO. ADAMS
GIRLS LIFE
Metal Stopped Bullet Aimed at
Her Heart
YOUNG PEOPLE QUARREL
James Deery Attempts to XIII Grace
Reagan-Youno Man
Arrested

1t was only by the merest chance
that Grace Reagan, sixteen-year-old
North Adams girl, escaped death at
the hands of James Deery, aged nine
teen, last evening. the bullet which
he fired at her being DETECTED by a
steel corset stay IN such manner
as to result in only an abrasion over
the heart instead of almost instant
death.
The couple had been to a moving
picture show during the evening and
returned to the home Of the girl, who
boards with the family OF Henry King
at 457 East Main street. Instead of en-
terlng the house, however, they stood
in front OF it and were engaged in a
heated discussion, which, as it subse-
quently developed. was caused by the
girl repelling the advances OF the
young man. Without moments
warning he whipped a revolver out of
his pocket and taking deliberate aim
at her heart, fred one shot. after
which he fed. The girl walked
around to the rear of the house, the
bulle. having struck one of the steel
stays in her corset and being defect
ed, but when she reached the rear
doorstep she tainted. Persons in the
house at the time heard the shot
fred and looked out into the street,
but rs nothing was to be seen they
made no further effort to ascertain
the cause of the shooting until they
heard The sound made by the girl
as she fell on the doorstep. She was
carried into the house and p aced on
a bed, doctors being summoned and
the police notified in the meantime.
Doctors soon arrived at the house
and an examination showed that the
aim o fthe young man had been such
that the bullet sped directly toward
the heart, although a dented steel cor
set stay showed how the young, wom-
ans life had been saved. There was
a slight abrasion over the hear, but
the girl soon regained consciousness
and made a statement to the effect
that she and Deery had quarreled
and that he had shot her because she
resisted his advances. Deery was ar
rested apparently in dazed condit-
ion. He had 80 caliber revolver in
his possession. with five loaded car
tridges and an empty she'll in the
chamber. His first words we're some
thing to the effect that he wished he
had shot himself. Later on he made
a confession in which he gave the
same reason for the shoe ing as
tina. given by the girl herself.
Both Deery and the Reagan cir
are well known in North Adams. The
young man, who has been employed
at the Wilson department store, bore
an excellent reputation up to few
mon his ago, when he was found gull
ty in district court OF stealing cloth
from the Arnold Print works and re-
leased on probation. There is some
talk to the effect that his mind has
become unbalanced through the ex-
cessive use of cigarettes. Miss Rea.

man William Reagan OF the North

Unexpectedly Large Vote Cast
for Direct Primary
SOME LICENSE SURPRISES
Montpelier Goes Into the WET Col
umn and Waterbury ls Moist for
the First Time
SOME LICENSE SURPRISES

The freemen of Vermont went to
the polls yesterday in greater num-
bers than is usual at town meetings
doubtless from the fact that aside
from the regular election of town Of
ficers and the question Of voting on
the liquor question there were three
referendums for consideration. At
an early hour this morning the re
turns show that the proposition to
build n 100000 building at Mont
peler for the use of the Supreme
court, state library, the Vermont
Historical society and other uses has
come very near being ratified and
when the returns are received from
20 or more missing towns it Is no. un
likely that the proposition has been
accepted by the voters.
Evidently the voters were puzzled
in voting on the two primary quest
ions and the returns show that the
voters in many towns voted on both
the direct and preferential PROPOSE
tons
Incomplete returns show that 958S
votes were cast in favor of prefer
entail primary law and 7439 against
Tha. direct primary law would
meet with greater approval is indl-
Gated by the vote of 16,469 in favor
of direct law, The vote against a
direct primary is 5000.
The incomplete returns give 1916
votes in favor of the new building
and 1852 against.
On the preferential primary Ben
nington county voted yes AIT, no 532;
On the direct primary yes 1922. nc
405; on the state house addition, yes
Sal, no 1245.
Bennington town voted on the pre-
feren.ial primary yes 121, no 140; on
the direct primary, yes 493. no 1873;
on the state house addition, yes 491
no $40.
The usual surprises are to be
found in the returns on the license
question. The towns which have
gone from the dry" to the '"wet"
column this year are Swanton, Yer
gennes, Sandgate. Colchester, Shell
burne, Wells, Montpelier. Plainneld,
and Waterbury.
Bennington, Pownal, Bolton, Mount
Tabor, Reading, Windsor, Richford
Groton, Orange and Elmore have
switched from wet to dry. The
other towns voting in favor Of license
are Shoreham, Burlington. StAlbans
city, Castleton, Fair Haven. Poultney
Rutland city, West Rutland, Bethel
Brighton, Brunswick and Canaan.
The tables given below show the
vote on each question submitted on
the referendums. The column mark.
ed preferential" refers to the propo
sition whether the voters wish sucn
a primary law and the column head
ed direct" Is the result of the vote
in favor of direct primary law. The
secretary of state will compile the re
suit OF the votes on each proposition
and lay the same before the next
Legislature when ii is assumed tina
the General Assembly will enact
law in obedience TO the wishes of the
voters. II a majority Of the votes
cast on the new building proposition
