LAKEVILLE GOES
WET BY 70 VOTES
Total Vote Cast is 407. With Liquor
Men Counting
2SS

Lakeville went wet" by a majority
of 70 in the local option held We'd
nesday. The total vote cast was 497,
2S8 for the saloons and 200 against
them According to reports from the
nearby town, there was considerable
celebrating on the part Of the "wets"
when the result became known.
The election progressed with little
more than the excitement that usually
accompanies q ballot fight between the
wet and dry factions. At all OF
the Lakeville meeting places. hot dis
cussions arose between the two sides
during the day. The voting was close
enough during the morning and early
afternoon TO cause both sides TO eX-
press confidence of victory.
In spite of a drizzling rain that fell
throughout the day, both factions
were busy getting out the votes. Not
until the poles closed did either ele-
ment give up, although the ''wets"
could see victory before the official
count was made. The "drys" were
considerably disappointed. owing to
the fairly large majority their oppo-
nents had.
South Bend was very much inter-
ested in the election. this being the
closest home" OF any that have been
held in this part of the state. Previ-
Gus to the Lakeville election, Elkhart
was the closest town in which the
VETS and ''drys" had gone to the
polls to decide the saloon question.
A petition for a local option cleo
ton in Lincoln township was filed
with the county commissioners Wed
nesday afternoon. The petition is
signed by 13S citizens of the town
ship headed by Stephen GrOmmon,
Etsel Snyder and Charles w. North
am. The three saloons in the town
ship are located at Walkerton.

made the trip by automobile, more
than 80 cars being parked in Wash
ington park. on the lake front
Several grOcers and butchers made
a tour Of the city, visiting friends, and
investigating stores in the city. This
was done in the morning, and in the
afternoon the crowd assem- bled in the
lake park and had luncheon. There
were no games or contests, bad wealth
or making outdoor sport practically
impossible.

ONLY ONE EFFECT.


Washington. July 22.-The declara-
tion from Berlin calling attention to
the German penal code authorizing
prosecution for treason Of Germans
working in American factories on war
supplies for enemy countries was re-
ceived here too late tonight for au-
thoritative comment.
Officials who could be reached could
not see how 1t would be possible for
prosecution to result in extradition
of the accused.
The only effect Of such prosecutions,
II was believed. might be the stimu-
lation OF naturalization and the pre-
vention of some Germans from re-
turning to their fatherland. 1t was
pointed out that the offenses charged
probably would be held to be Of q
political nature.

INCREASE In EXPRESS RATES.
Revenues OF Chief Companies Consid.
cred Inadequate.

Washington, July 22.--The inter-
state commerce commission decided
today that the revenues of the prin-
cipal express companies of the United
States are inadequate and modified
Its former orders to provide addi-
tional income.
The present rates are based on three
factors-an allowance OF 20 cents for
collection and delivery of each ship
ment, which does not vary with weight
or distance, rail terminal allowance
OF 20 cents per hundred pounds hich
varies with the weight, but not the
distance and the rail transportation
rate per 100 pounds which varies with
the weight, the distance and the zone.
In accordance with the companies
petition, the commission modified its
order to permit transportation of the
hrst and second factors. increasing
the collection and delivery allowance
cents for each shipment and reduc-
Ing the rail terminal allowance at the
rate of 1-20 of cent pound. AS
the weight increases the cent in
crease gradually is reduced, so that on
shipments of more than 100 pounds
the readjustment will make no change.
Substantially no commodity rates will
be affected.
The companies are expected to in
crease their gross revenues about $3.50
per cent. The commissions report
shows that the net operating revenues
OF the four big companies have de-
clined to deficit Of $1,132,S11 in the
year 1914-15 and in the same period
operating income decreased s2.449,-
s63. 81" -
while the financial condition of
certain Of the petitioners Is more IA
vorable than that of Others" says the
report. 1T clearly appears that as a
whole they are operating at a loss.
