VOTING ON PROHIBITION
 IN NEWFOUNDLAND
Act to Become Effective Must Receive Absolute Vote
 of 25,000.

St. Johns, N. F., Nov. 4.-The ques- tion of prohibition for the colony of Newfoundland was placed before the voters today. The proposed act would forbid the manufacture, importation or sale of intoxicating liquors after January l, 1917. The legislature, in voting to submit the matter to pIebiscite, stipulated that in order to become effective the act must receive not only a majority of the votes cast, but an absolute vote of at least 20, OOO. This number represents the average required to carry general election in the colony. When the question was before the legislature both prohtbi- tionists and their opponents agreed to the principle that the change should not be made unless it were shown that a majority of the electorate desired 1t.
 At present the legal sale of liquor in Newfoundland is confined to the city of St. Johns. Under the local option act which has been in force for forty-three years all townships and settlements outside this city have, by majority vote, prohibited it's sale.
 The advocates of prohibition have ] made an active. campaign and have brought here many orators from the 1 United States and Canada. The liquor 1 interests have made no open attempt l to offset their arguments.
 The cause of the scattered popu- lation and the method of counting the ballots, definite returns are not like ly to be at hand for a week. The ballot boxes in every electoral district are brought to a central polling place to be counted; there are eighteen dis tricts, each of them including widely separated settlements. Most of these villages are on the coast and the bal lots are carried to the polling place by sailing vessels, which often are de- layed by storms. A peculiar feature of the system is that the ballots brought into each polling place are mixed before counting, so that it is impossible to learn how any particular locality voted.

KILLS WIFE AND SON.
New York Man Then Slashes Daugh- ter's Throat and Commits Suicide.

New York; Nov. Awkward Me- Manus, 31, secretary to a wealthy woman, today killed his wife and four year old son William, by cutting their throats with a razor; smashed the throat of his two months old daugh- ter, Gertrude, and then committed suicide by cutting his throat. The little girl, hospital surgeons said, probably will recover.
 McManus has been ill for some time and is believed to have suddenly be- come insane.
 Tenants in the apartment house where the McManus family lived were aroused by screams and calls for as- sistance from Mrs. McManus. When the door to the McManuS apartment was broken down Mrs. McManus was found lying in the hall. She lived long enough to tell her brother-in-law, William McManus, who lived in the same house, that she aWOke early to- day and found her husband standing over her with a razor in his hand. Before she could protect herself her husband had slashed her throat. Mrs. McManus, although mortally wounded. jumped from her bed, seized her son from a, crib and tried in vain to save the boy from his crazed father.

Zaimis Succeeded VenizelOs.

Premier Zaimis has been in office less than a month, having been asked by King Constantine to form a cabi- net after the resignation of Premier Venizelos, on Oct. 6. The retirement of the Venizelos ministry grew out of it's policy in favor of entering the war with Serbia against Bulgaria, to which, M. Venizelos maintained, Greece was bound by her treaty ob- legations The king took the ground that in the circum stances Greece was not obligated to take up arms.
 M. VenizeIos resigned the premier ship in April, owing to disagreement with the king on a similar question of foreign policy, but won pro- nounced victory in the general elec- tions of June and returned to office in August and the Zaimis ministry was able to maitain itself before parliament only by the acquiescence of M. Venizelos. In @ speech on Oct. 13 the former premier said Greece should not allow Bulgaria to crush Serbia.

JUDGE FUTILE GRANTS
 RAILROAD'S PETITION
Dr. Martin, in Remonstrance, Calls It a ''Peanut''
 Matter.

Judge Joseph P. Futile in the su- perior court this morning granted the application of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad com pany to reopen the judgment in the Corbin avenue land condemnation matter and file a supplementary ap- plication reducing the amount of land to be taken from eighty to sixty feet. Attorney Norman s. Buckingham rep resented the railroad company and Dr. J. F. Martin of this city spoke for the interested property owners. The latter opposed the application of the railroad company.
 Attorney Buckingham declared the original application had been an ex- treme amount and subsequent 1nVestl- gation showed that but sixty feet is needed, where the railroad was au- thorized by the public utilities com mission to take eighty feet.
 In opposing the application to re- duce the amount of land to be taken, Dr. Martin speaking for himself, J. w. McCabe and Erastus Hart, acting for the Jerome estate, maintained that the damage that will be sustained will be just as great with the less amount of land. He thought the railroad com pany had had full time to prepare it's case and it was an imposition to take the courts time on such a peanut matter and spoke of the land as "prairie" land. Now, he said, the company discovers it needs only sixty feet of land. If this petition should be granted, Dr. Martin felt there would be no reason to prevent it com ing again and amending the amount to forty feet.
 Judge Futile replied that he had no power to. refuse the company's peti- ton. He could not compel it to take more land than it needed. The ques- tion of the amount of damage would be determined by the condemnation commission and if the property own CTS sustained as much damage by the loss of sixty feet as eighty they would be properly recompensed. He then granted the railroad company's peti- tiOn
