BRITISH SHIPPERS
GET CONCESSIONS
Reported That Private Interests i'm
England Have Obtained Permits
Not Granted Americans.

Washington, Sept. 15.-Consul
General Skinner at London was di-
rected by cable today to inquire into
reports that private interests in
England again have been obtaining
permits for shipment to America
from neutral ports of German or Aus
trian goods, a privilege still with
held from the state department for
eign trade advisers acting Informally
as representatives Of American i'm
porters generally.
Great Britain informed the de-
partment September 6 that an ar
rangement would be put into effect
within a few days whereby applica-
tions through the foreign trade ad-
visors would be received ct the
British embassy here for relaxation
of the orders in council in specific
cases to permit the shipment from
neutral ports of goods actually con
tracted for by Americans before the
effective day of the order. The ar
rangement is held up. however. while
the trade advisors are being flooded
with applications.
No Official explanation has been
given. though it is said in British cir
cles that approval by France is
awaited. and that details of the plan
nave not yet been worked out.
Some time ago 1t was learned that
persons in London were securing con-
cessions not granted to all American
importers and the protest that fol-
lowed resulted in the promised ar
rangement to have this matter hand
led entirely through the foreign
trade advisors and the British en-
bassy here.

PROHIBITION Wins IN
STATE ELECTION z TO |
Only Two Counties in Entire

Favor of Whiskey.
Thirteen Dispensary Counties Give
Big Majority Against Sale of

Columbia Sept. 15.-The state
wide prohibitionists won a decisive
victory in the referendum election
held yes orday, the vote at IL
O'Clock standing more than 2 to 1
in favor of a dry state. With some
ten thousand votes outstanding the
totals at II O'Clock were: For pro-
hibition 33,008J against prohibition

pensaries are operated only two gave
majority to local option. Charles
ton by an overwhelming vote, 2.535

Dorchester went against prohibition.
Dorchester favored local option by
13 votes, according to incomplete
figures, the vote being 400 to 3S7.
Union county. the only upstate coun-
ty having the dispensary voted dry
to l. The other dispensary coun-
ties giving majorities for prohibition
are Aiken. Barnwell, Bamberg. Beau
fort, Calhoun, Florence, George town
Jasper. Lexington, Orangeburg, Rich
land and Williamsburg. Richland

voted 1.120 for prohibition and I'll
against. The city of Columbia went
decisively for prohibition, four out
of six wards going dry.
The election yesterday. in which
only the qualified electors could par
ticipate means that the state will
have a statewide law against the
manufacture and sale of liquor ef-
fective January first, 1916. Had the
prohibitionists lost, the status quo
would have been maintained. The
total vote cast Is estimated at $4,000.
Although the returns are far from
complete. here Is no possibility Of a
change in the result. Whatever
change there is will be merely as to
the. majority.
The result OF the election surpris7
ed even the prohibitionists. for few
among them had anticipated such a
walk-oVer. In poltlcal circles mere
the vote is taken to indicate the dis
gust OF the state with the old dispen-
sary system which for years was one
Of the most corrupting influences in
the politics of this state and which
has been the cause of many a malo-
dorous discussion and disclosure.
Furthermore. men here interpret the
election to mean that the state is set
fast against the laxity in laws which
has existed. 1t is freely stated in
Richland county that the bizarre at
titude Of the blind tigers during re-
cent years was potent influence in
the cause of prohibition. Their ac-
tions had become decidedly repellant
as their activities for long while
were open and defiant.

though the expenditure was now
more than S17,5OO,OOO daily, there

AMERICANS ADVISED
TO GET OUT OF MEXICO
COnSulS in Northern Mexico In
structed to Notify American
Citizens to Withdraw.
CONSULS MAY ALSO LEAVE
The villa Agency ut Washington
RcScntS Action of State De-
partmcnt.

Washington, Sept. 15.-Americau
consuls in northern Mexico, which
now has become the chief battle
ground between the contending rae
tions, have been advised by the state
department not only to notify Ameri-
can citizens to withdraw from the
danger zones, but to leave Mexico
themselves if conditions become in
tolerable.
Secretary Lansing today described
the instructions to consuls as simply
p- ecautionary. They are similar to
those given American consuls in Eu-
rope whenever the contending armies
Jaw near cities previously untouch-
ed by the fighting.
Obregon's rapid advance into
northern Mexico, and frequent re-
ports of lawlessness on the border
led to the present measures, accord
ing to state department officials. The
only formal announcement on the
subject was as follows:
owing to disturbed conditions
prevailing along the Mexican border,
the department repeats the advice
heretofore given to American citizens
to remain on this side of the inter
national line for the present"
AS soon as American citizens have
withdrawn. there will be no necessity
in the opinion of high officials, for
the consuls to remain, but il was de-
MED that they had been ordered to
leave, discretion being vested in the
.consuls themselves. The notifications
Intended to consuls in Torreon, Chi
huahua, Hermosillo. Guaymas, No
gales and JuareZ. Latest kilograms
to the department tonight indicated
n general exodus.
At the Villa Washington agency
the departments action was received
with resentment. Enrique C..
Llorente, Villas representative. issu-
ed a statement saying:
THE provisional government finds
difficulty in giving eredence to the
reports of the state departments ac-
tion but in view OF statements such
as officials explained that this was
because depredations and lawlessness
were occurring principally along the
boundaries controlled by Villa it
cannot refrain from vigorous protes;
against such imputations
While ii is notorious that the
failure of General CarranZa to con-
troll his forces has resulted in the
rails into American territory in the
vicinity of Brownsville. il is equally
we'll known that depredations and
lawlessness have been entirely alb
sent in the territory controlled by
General Villa in northern Mexico.
particularly along the border OF
Texas. New Mexico and Arizona. with
which the Mexican states of Chihua-
hua and Sonora join.
General Villa has provided ample
forces, in every part of the territory
his forces control, TO safeguard the
lives of foreigners"
Renewed depredations by the
TaQui Indians were reported in state
department dispatches today. \ ma
rauding band was said to have cross
ed the Yaqui river near Chunam
Topaz. but no details were received
