The Signing Of Petitions Is
Started At Once
And The Committee Immedi.
ately Begins Its Work

The movement to prevent the open
ing of saloons in Mt. Vernon was CIV
en- an impetus Wednesday night when
several hundred citizens representing
all lines of occupation met at the
court house.
1t was a body of very earnest peo-
pie and business was dispatched with
CELEBRITY.
Mr.. B. B. Williams, chairman of the
preliminary meeting held at the Y.
M. G. A. building Monday night, called
the meeting to order and made brief
statement Of the proceedings that had
been taken at the previous meeting.
He stated that all citizens desired to
ascertain the status Of Mt. Vernon on
the question Of admitting saloons.
This is the general desire, of drys and
vets alike; that people contemplating
opening saloons no doubt wished to
know. before going to any expense,
such as leasing rooms, purchasing
equipment and stock of liquors and
entailing other expenses, whether
they would be permitted to continue
in the business, and that it was only
fair to them that the attitude of the
voters of Mt. Vernon on the subject be
ascertained, and that, too, at as early
day as possible.
Mr.. r. H. Kinney was made secre-
tary of the meeting.
Chairman Williams called upon Mr..
Paul M. Ashbaugh to explain the legal
situation, and that gentleman respond
ed by stating that prior to the county
option election six years ago Mt.
Vernon was wet under an election
held under the Beal law, and that by
the repeal OF the county option law
by the adoption of the Home Rule
amendment, Mt. Vernon became auto
matically wet thirty days after the
election of Tuesday of last week. He
stated that an election under the Real
law can be arranged for at any time;
that it must be done by filing with the
city council petitions asking for such
an election and bearing the signatures
of at least 40 per cent of the vote
| cast at the last general election; that
at the election of last week 2,487 votes
were cast in Mt. Vernon and 40 per
cent of that number would be 995;
that upon filing the proper petitions
the city council must order an election
not less than twenty nor more than
thirty days from the date Of the filing
of the petitions.
Chairman Williams stated that at
the preliminary meeting of Monday
night 1t was the unanimous opinion
that an election should be held and
asked for an expression Of opinion OF
this meeting. A motion that an cleo
tion be asked for was adopted unani.
mously.
Chairman Williams stated that at
Monday nights meeting committee
consisting of Messrs. Chas. G. Iams
Frank Harper, VIM. A. Ackerman,
George A. Cheyney and Frank Moore
had been appointed to recommend to
this meeting campaign committee
and called for the report. Mr.. Iams

To Play Muskingum In This
City
At The Ball Park On Satur-
day Afternoon

Manager Birch L. Brown Of the
Kenyon football team was in the city
Wednesday afternoon and at that
time made definite arrangements for
the Kenyon-Muskingum game to be
played at the ball park in this city,
Saturday, Nov. IA, at .2:30 o'clock.
This will offer Mt. Vernon people
an opportunity of seeing college foot
ball, without making the trip to Gam
bier. The Muskingum team has al
ways proved worthy foe for Kenyon
in the past and Saturdays contest
gives promise of furnishing some ex-
cellent football.
The scheduling of the game in this
city, instead of Gambler, is an expert
ment and If the crowd attending
comes up to expectations, 1t is alto
gether probable that all of Kenyon's
home games next year will be played
in Mt. Vernon.

any of her predecessors, although the
lateness of her launching would. 1t was

in which to tune up.
Many cablegrams and kilograms with

Sir Thomas Upton and Charles e. Mich

Vaterland Sinks Two Barges in
backing from Pier==Churning OF
Water CausesWreCk of Other Craft

New York, May 26.-The great
steamship Vaterland, which took
nearly four hours to dock when she
came to this port on her maiden yoy-
age recently, sank two coal barges as
she steamed out OF her berth today.
Backing out under her own steam,
her momentum carried her across the
Hudson and she slipped in between
two piers where the coal barges, car
rying 500 tons of coal each, were tied.
Both barges went down almost at
once, but no lives were lost.
The big ship cut her way into the
slip almost to the shore and in back
ing out the water churned by her
screws snapped the lines which held
the two Morgan oil tank liners, To-
piIa and Ell Vale. These vessels crash
ed against the sides of the pier. dam
aging their rails and woodwork. The
damage was estimated at $4,000.
The Vaterland did not let the mis-
hap delay her voyage and soon pass
ed down the bay. She carried 22SS pas
sengers, sos of them in the first cabin.
There was considerable excitement on
board.

London, May 26.-The passing OF
the home rule bill has not yet led to
the breaking of single head in Ire
land. The predictions so freely made
by certain Unionists that its hnai
adoption by the House of Commons
would be followed by fierce outbursts
in Ulster and sanguinary conflicts De
tween the Orangemen and the Ma
tionalists have proved to be untrue up
to the present.

sion of one Of the Unionist newspa-
pers.
The authorities. civil and military, are
said to be keeping careful watch and
trains are held at stations with steam ur
in readiness to rush troops or armed po-
lice to wherever they might be needed
to suppress riots which nearly everybody
thought were bound to occur, but thus
far the only conflicts have been verbal
ones.
Meanwhile many Unionists declare that
it is only the calm which presages a
fierce storm and that failing, the defeat
of the government at general election,
civil war looms ahead, not as contin-
gency, but as a certainty.
John E. Redmond, the Nationalist lead
er, is being flooded with kilograms OF
