Dry Forces Have Inning.

The house passed three bills affect
ing the shipment of Intoxicating
liquors into dry territory. The first
provides that search warrants may be
issued in illicit liquor cases; second,
that the penalty for minors visiting sa-
looms be repealed, and third, the bill
prohibiting the shipment of liquors for
sale into local option territory and
prohibiting persons from having in
possession for sale liquors in local OPP
ton territory. The third bill is for the
purpose of putting into effect the
Webb-Kanyon law in Kentucky The
most important feature of this meas
ure is that all railroads, express COM
panies and other transportation COM
panies within this state or doing bust
ness within the state are required to
keep at each local office in the terri
tory within which the sale of intoX-
icating liquors is prohibited a book in
which shall be entered Immediately
upon receipt of the liquor full record
of the consignor, to whom delivered,
what character of intoxicant and in
what quantity, the record to be open
to public inspection and prima facie
evidence before courts.

STORM DOES GREAT DAMAGE.
Many Sections of State Still Isolated
From Effects of Recent Storm.

Columbus, O.-Many sections of the
state were still isolated as a result OF
the storm which swept Ohio, but tele-
phone and telegraph officials express
ed the hope that communication will
be restored. The storm wrought its
vengeance on wires mainly throughout
the western and northernwestern part
of the state, although other sections
were affected. An official of a tele-
phone company estimated that the
company alone had about 1000 poles
down and about 500 miles of wire on
the ground. A line drawn from Piqua
to Bellefontaine, to Marion thence to
Bucyrus, Norwalk and Lorain sur
rounds. the section in which the great
est damage was done. Findlay is COM
pletely isolated from the rest Of the
world and it is only by recruiting mes
sages that communication has been
established in other cities.

U. S. MAY INTERVENE
Exporters Ask Secretary Bryan To
Take Steps To Stop Triangular
Revolution Now in Hayti.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
New York; movement that may
cSystalize in radical action by the
United States with the result that this
government may intervene N Hayti
for the protection of American inter
ests in that republic, has been started
by prominent exporters who addressed
a communication to the secretary of
state requesting that immediate steps
be taken to stop the triangular revo-
luton now in progress there. The Ne
tional City bank recently made rep
reservations to the state department
that American interests in Haiti were
imperiled because of the overthrow OF
President Oreste and his ministry.
The bank is heavily Interested in the
railroad system in Haiti, the operation
of which has been practically sus-
pended.
That the reyolutionists continue to
conduct a guerilla warfare in their ad-
vance on Port au Prince, each leader
seeking to reach there first so as to
occupy the presidents palace, is
evidenced by code cable dispatches
received in New York.
One of these stated that Il la
borers who had been forced into the
revolutionary army at Trou sought to
escape to their families and all were
captured and beheaded, their heads
being nailed 10 posts as warning to
their fellows. In retaliation for this
barbarism, two officers of Gen. Bel
lard's force were assassinated by WON
en- relatives of some of the victims.
