hibition Now Proposed by Drys.
Minneapolis, Oct. 6.-Hennepin and
Nicollet counties went wet at county
option elections.
The Hennepin vets rolled up ma
jority of over 5000, while in Nicollet
the vets wer. on the safe side by
more than 500 votes.
over $4,000 votes were polled in
Hennepin, about 5000 more than ever
cast at any election in the history of
the county. OF this number the drys
received 29,2O0.
Charges of wholesale fraud are be-
ing made on the part of the drys and
a committee of their organization will
meet to decide on whether to take
steps to ask the courts to throw out
the vote in many precincts.
The vets also charged the drys with
i irregularities, but do not make nearly
as many nor as specific accusations.
Fraud beyond any conceivable de-

lG. b. Stafford, superintendent of the
Minnesota Anti-Saloon league. Never
before in the history of Minnesota has
fraudulent voting, illegal practices
and utter disregard for law and order
been as great as in this election. We
are not ready to say whether We will
contest the election"
Voted Dead Men, Is Charge.
"Wet workers brought voters to the
polls by the hundred in automobiles,
said Rev. Stafford Judges in wet
wards swore in voters without asking
them questions. They simply lined
them up in rows and let them qualify
In the Third, Fifth and Sixth wards
the vets voted dead men and men
who had registered for the last elec,
tion and have since moved away"
The result of the election means
that the 399 saloons in Minneapolis
and a number in other parts of Hen
nepin county may keep in business
for three years before another at
tempt can be made to abolish them al
a county option election.
Dry leaders in Ramsey county said
that the result in Hennepin has con
vinced them it would be futile TO at
tempt to hold a county option elec
tion there.

paign, though, for statewide prohibi
tion," said F. j. Clemans, "and make
this the fight before the next legisla
ture."

Last night Mr.. Givens was heard

BRISTOL, England, Sept l0.-The

of Parliament, in an address to the
congress denied that he or any other
member of the labor party in the
House of Commons had ever coun-

tents of Which Unknown.

WASHINGTON. Sept, 10.-Geman-
American tension over the sinking of
the Arabic, and also the Lusitania,
was partially revived today
1t became known that the admins
tration is greatly disappointed at
Germany's new position in the Arabic
case. Disavowal by Germany of la
bilitv to make reparation for lives
lost on the Arabic and inferential1y
on the Lusitanla, too, officials ad-
mitted. presents fresh dispute which
may embarrass settlement of the ne
gotiations over the general subject OF
submarine warfare
Prospects today were that this gov
ernment will send a note in reply to
the Arabic communication which will
sharply indicate this government S
displeasure over Gs'many's new
stand.
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing were sratified at Germany's
assurance that passenger liners will
be warned before being torpedoed,
unless they attempt to escape or re-
vital principles insisted on by the
president providing it Is followed, and
not evaded, in actual practice.
There were intimations from Off
cial sources, however, that Gemany's
"self-defense" explanation in the Ara
bic case may be the subject for fur
ther controversy.
Such an exchange of communica-
tions would preeede any discussion

lieved the state department. would
send another note to Germany,
pointing out the wide discrepancy
between her submarine commanders s
report of the Arabic incident and

many.
Plans were made today to call a
meeting of the cabinet to consider

Germany's failure in the Arabic

BY POLICE FOR
NICHOLS MURDER

legged AcoompIices in Plot
Are Sent Broadcast.

NEW YORK. Sept. f0.-The police
today finished their arrangements for
a widespread dragnet for the men re-
sponsible for the death of Mrs. Eliza
beth Nichols, the wealthy widow
whose home was entered and robbed

confessed collusion of Owney Talas
the hall boy in the Nichols home.
Having completed these arrange
ments the police this afternoon made
public the names. so far as known to
them of the three men wanted, to-
gether with their descriptions. This
information hasnow been sent broad
cast, and it is hoped that Talas's
alleged accomplices will soon be ap-
pretended.
The description of the men follows:
Arthur Waltonen, twenty-five years
old. 175 pounds, five feet ten or eleven
inches tall; has blonde hair, blue eyes
and light complexion; has one gold
tooth and a scar on back of one of
his hands.
Eddie, last name unknown, twenty
three years old, l60 pounds, five feet
six inches tall; has blue eyes and
light hair.
Italian. twenty-three years old, 160
pounds, five feet eight inches tall,
dark eyes, hair and complexion.
With the return of Mrs. Nichols
jeweler today a definite estimate of
the stolen Jewels was given. Their
value is placed at $17,200.
Talas the hallboy. who has con-
fessed, according to the police. to his
share in the robbery and death OF
Mrs. Nichols. was taken to police
headquarters today where he was
photographed finger printed, and
given over to the scrutiny of $50 de-
tectives. Talas, who is held on the
general charge of homicide, probably
will be indicted by the grand jury late

Poison Alleged
in Candy Sent to
Asylum Inmate
Grand Jury Likely to Start
Probe and Prosecutor Is
Already Investigating.

While First Assistant Prosecutor
Wilbur A. Mott is investigating an
alleged attempt to poison woman
patient at the Essex County Hospital
Overbrook. there is a likelihood that
the grand jury also will probe the
case.
Mr.. Mott stated today that the in
formation he had would not be made
public. He said he knew very little
of the case, and, therefore, could not
talk intelligently about it at this time
As result of information presented
to the prosecutors office by County
Supervisor Lewis G. Bowden the case,
came to the attention of Assistant
Prosecutor Mott. 1t developed that a
female patient at the county hospital
received some candy from her hus-
band, who visited the institution, but
was not permitted to see his wife,
The nurse who received the candy In
the corridor was invited by the
patient to enjoy the confectionery.
She did so, but, to her surprise, found
that a mysterious looking pill was
hidden beneath the chocolate cover
ing.
1t looked much like a bichlorde of
mercury tablet, and she at once re-
ported the incident to DIR. Guy Payne,
the medical superintendent of the in
stitution, who, after examining the
tablet, communicated the facts in
turn to County Supervisor Bowden.
While the name of the patient is
withheld, she is said to be growing
stronger mentally, and will soon be
able to return home. In the event
that the new grand jury, which is to
be selected Monday, decides to in
vestigate, both the nurse and the
patient will be called as witnesses.
1t is declared that the husband of
the woman Is a resident of this city,
and has not been at the hospital since
the day he presented the box of
candy

A most disappointing and unsatis-

corning the Arabic incident. but in

he would respect American rights and
lives in the conduct OF his submarine
campaign.

In view of the Austria Hungary's

officials believed a break with one
would mean break with both.
Aside from the German Austrian
link, the Won Papen matter possessed
potentialties of trouble. 1t was

in Dumba's case and the hope was
