CHICAGO, Nov. 2-There are in this

than there were one year ago, and the
prohibition advocates are enthusiasts

predict that WITHIN few years the

fight made against him.
NE WYORK, Nov. 3-Later returns
bring the majority against woman suf-
frage under 100000, with a possibility
that there may be a still further re-
duction. While the republicans gained
in the up state counties, Tammany
made clean sweep of all the offices
in the city including, county positions
and judgeships.
CLEVELAND, Nov. 3-The referen-
dunn vote on state wide prohibition
which was decided on by the electors

their best speakers into the field
Bryan was the chief speaker for the
dryS IN the campaign.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 3-Harrington,
the democratic candidate for governor
of Maryland was elected yesterday by
plurality of $500. The fight was
hot one and the showing of the Re-
publican candidate was remarkable in
this normally democratic state. The
democrats retain the legislature by
about the same majority in both
houses at last year. A referendum to
hold a constitution convention for the
purpose of remodelling tn estate con-
stitution was carried.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. 3-The pro-
hibitionists made great gains in the
election yesterday and they are much
encouraged over the prospect of get
ting state wide prohibition here. Last
year the vets carried the state by
$4,000, but their majority this year
was reduced to slightly over 41,0O0.
The advocates of prohibition profess
their determination to keep up the
fight, and feel sure that by another
election they will be strong enough in
the state to win. The rural districts
went strongly dry while the biggest
vote for the liquor interests was found
in the cities.

Why is a soldier in this city not al
lowed his rights and privileges as an
American citizen, the same as others
not serving in the government forces?

There is too much of this sort Of
thing in Il PasO I do not need to
remind YOU what the soldiers have
done for IL Paso. The army has stood
between Ell Paso and trouble a great
many times in the last few years, and
YOU all know it, The army is ready to
fight for you, but it looks sometimes
rs if you think the army is not fit to
associate with your people.
You will remember when not long
ago men in uniform were orderd to
stay out of q certain place of public
amusement One place actually adyer-
tiSed that men in uniform would NOT be
admitted Why is this tolerated in
your city, Don't you know that there
are plenty of good men in the army,
along with a few bad ones? DO you not
believe that the proportion of good
men is Just as large in the army as out
of it? It looks to us soldiers like
mighty small business for any of your
people to attempt TO discriminate in
this way against good and true men and
American citizens, just because they
We're Uncle Sans uniform of honor and
faithful service.
The incident above referred to, in
the rOoming house. is not the first OF
the sort. but this actually happened
to us and we feel that thepublic ought
to know the facts. No reason was given
and our money was not returned to us;
we were just told to so, and 1t was
plain to US that we were not wanted
simply because we are soldiers.

New York, July. 16.-vice President
r. B. Ward Of the Federal league con-
f1rmed the report that war fund Of
s1.00o.000 had been collected at the
recent meeting Of the league in this
city, and that HARRY Sinclair, owner
OF the Newark club, had been selected
to carry out the Federal league cam
paagn. Mr.. Ward said the money is al
ready In Sinclair,s possession and that
it would be used in forwarding the
interests of the league as a whole. He
refused to outline the manner in which
the money would be expended, but in
timated that the Federal league was
about to adopt more vigorous policy
In the baseball world.
It Is understood that the removal Of
President Gilmore's office from Chicago
to this city Is in line with this policy.
Local Federal league officials stated
that as soon as Gilmore settled here
he would complete the arrangements
for the installation OF a club in New
York. Plans for other important
changes in the circuit, a general
strengthening OF the clubs, and other
important changes are being consid-
cred, and final decision In these mat
tiers viii be made after the new league
quarters are IN running order.

St. Louis Takes Two from Washington

st. Louis. July list Louis took a
double header from Washington to-
day, to 2 and to 3. The second
game had an exciting finish in which
Mcbride was banished from the field.
In the eighth with the bases full, Pratt
flied back of second. Foster missed
the catch and Shotton and Austin
scored, Howard going to third and
Pratt to second. With two balls and
two strikes on Walsh, Howard and
Pratt performed a double steal, How
ard scoring. Washington contested the
play, claiming Walsh had struck at
the ball which would have made him
out. In the 9Th Washington filed the
bases with two out, but James struck
out Williams.
st. Louis made seven double plays
in the two games.
George SisIer, the former University
of Michigan star, pitched the first
game for St. Louis. Engel was taken
out after st. Louis had collected three
runs in the fifth inning, and Hopper
who replaced him was batted off the
mound in the eighth. Scores:

EERS SAYS ALLEGED
REMARKS ARE FALSE
Subject Of Investigation Happened in
Game with st. Louis.

Boston, July 15.-Remarks alleged
to have been made from the side
lines by Captain Evers of the Boston
Braves during last Tuesdays game
with the st. Louis Cardinals, are to
be the subject of the investigation
which President Tener will make here
tomorrow, according to announce
ment from New York. The Braves
captain, taking exception to decision
by Umpire Rigler, who declared Bob
Bescher safe at the plate on a close
play, was quoted in a newspaper as
having shouted: They're trying to
get the crowds out; they've ordered a
close race; leave them alone boys;
they're only following instructions"
Evers later expressed indignation
because his remarks had been inter
preted as q claim that the National
league race was "f1xed". He said:
Il claim no such thing. I've been
in baseball long enough to know bet
ter. To be sure. I might have said
anything on the ball field. When an
umpire hands you one like Rfgler did
at the home plae, what you say will
invariably be the result of hard feeling
at the time. You're out here fighting
and anything you can get away with
goes. Nobody living could fix a race
like the one in the National league
just now. It is the greatest ever, and
we all have a. chance"
There is absolutely no truth in the
story that Captain Evers said that the
National league race was fixed" de-

BROOKLYN MAKING A
SENSATIONAL Squirt
Fans Are Wondering II the Dodgers
Will Prove a Second Boston.

Is the Brooklyn team going to prove
a second Boston? Can the Dodgers
come along like the Braves of last
year and cop the bunting? These
questions are keeping the fans of the
country at fever heat for the usually
lowly team has taken eight straight
games and is boiling along within two
games of the top. AS a result record
crowds are following each game, the
fans are roofing strong and the man
agement is happy, for the dollars are
flowing into the treasury. 1t is long
time since Brooklyn has seen a pen
nant although it had a looE-in two
years ago. but now the crowds feel
sure that the Dodgers are out for a
second Braves dash that will carry
them on impetuous1y to the top Of the
league, and then right on to the
worlds championship honors. The
players are all on tiptoe, but not so
enthused. it is said, that they are liable
to lose their heads. From present in
dications, with a crowd of %, 900 out
last Saturday. there is little likelihood
that the club treasury will have to
dig into the reserve fund to meet ex-.
penses.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STOCK MARKET.
Speculative interests Awakened
Gains in the Final Hour.

+, New York, July 15.-In the first four
hours of todays session stocks devel-
oped a more definite two-sided charac-
ter in the sense that specialties, chief
ly those in the war contract class,
manifested greater strength, while
railways denoted increased selling
pressure. In the final hour the con-
dttion underwent a sharp reversal, the
former speculative favorites coming
rapidly to the front with gains of one
coincident with the announcement that
the Standard Oil company had dis
posed of various of its pipe lines to
meet the wishes of the interstate COM
merce commission and the declaration
of an increased dividend by the Anal
gamated Copper company, which dis
bursed one dollar instead of the usual
fifty cents.
There was also an awakening of
speculative interest as result of Ger
many's explanation OF the Nebraska in
cident, which was accepted as an evil
dent desire to maintain friendly nego-
tiations with Washington. Confirma-
ton Of increasing activity at leading
centers of the steel industry gave an
added flip to the very strong close.

made by Bethlehem Steel at ISL IL,

Hsecret Draft'' Again This Year.

Chicago, July 15.-Reports today
reached minor league leaders in this
section that the secret draft" under
which players were taken into lea
CUES of higher class last year win be
in vogue again this season. While
the National Commission has not an
nounced that the results of the 1916
draft would be kept under cover the
minor ieaguers pointed out that gem
eral conditions were the same as last
season. At that time rather than let
the Federal league magnates know
what men were chosen for promotion,
the awards were kept secret until the
players involved had signed contracts.
