Bloomington Wet Again.

Bloomington, H., April 4.-Bloom-
ington, one Of the largest cities of
Illinois that went into the dry column
two years ago, deserted the prohibi-
ton ranks today. The loss of this city
today was the greatest individual loss
sustained by the anti-saloon league in
Illinois. Bloomington went dry by ia
votes two years ago. Today it went
back into the wet column by a ma
jority of IS.
Alton, ILL.,, another large city, went
wet by 636 votes, although the drys
announced several times during the
past week that it would vote out the
saloons.
Nation, ILL.,, which went dry in
1914 by a majority of $50, voted to
remain dry today by $50, which was
q gain for the anti-saloon league. The
wet and dry fight over the state, ac-
cording to unofficial reports received
at midnight, indicated that the vets
and drys had about divided honors.

Girl, CRUSHED
UNDER SKATERS.
FRACTURES ARM
Maggie HOwes, 16, Tripped,
Falls at Bottom of Pile at
Roller Rink.
GIRL SAYS SHE HEARD
BOTH ARM BONES SNAP
Was Regaining Feet When Crowd
Stumbled Over Her Body
on Floor.

Maggie Howes, 16 years old, had
both bones Of her left forearm broken
last night when she fell to the floor
of the skating rink at Bellevue and
Middle streets ard was crushed to the
bottom of a pile of young men and
women skaters who tripped over her
PROSTATE body and fell on top Of her.
About six or eight persons were in
the heap Of humanity that piled on
top of Miss Howes and it was several
moments before her frantic mother,
Mrs. Bette Howes, could reach her
daughter after she had heard her
cries.
The girl, when removed from the
bottom of the heap, was taken to her
home in an automobile and q physi-
clan was called. The bones were
broken few inches below the elbow.
In addition, she suffered other painful
bruises and shock.
The injury to her arm was caused,
she said, when boy fell upon her in
such 4 way that his body pinned her
arm to the floor. She heard the bones
snap, she declared, as the boys body
struck her.
The girl, accompanied by her
mother, together with Ross Young,
Tena McFadden, Maud Wagner, Cor
don Miller and one or two others, went
to the rink together In the course Of
the evening they became separated.
A few moments before the accident,
which occurred about $50 o'clock, the
Howes girl was skating few feet in
front Of Young, when, she says, some
one tripped her. She fell forward.
Young went to aid her in rcgaining
her feet and she was upon her hands
and knees, she said, when the other
skaters piled on top Of her and her
companion.
Mrs. Hcwcs and her daughter have
been working to support three other
children. Mrs. HoWes came to this
city with her family from Chaffee
about four months ago, and the daugh-
ter obtained work at the shoe factory.
Her injury will cause an enforced lay
off from her work. The family lives
on Main street.

Democrats Sweep Chicago.

Chicago, Ill.,, April A. Today's
aldermanic election was a landslide
for the Democratic candidates. Chi
cago registered an adverse verdict on
the city administration, which is Re-
publican. The loss, it is said, was due
to Mayor Thompson's lid which he
clamped on the city shortly after he
entered office. The Democrats today
carried one short of twice the number
of wards they did one year ago. Last
year they won eleven wards, while
today they elected their candidates in
twenty-one.
The new council lineup shows Sc
Republicans, 80 Democrats and 2 So
cialists. It was estimated tonight that
about two-thirds of the new council
men will be "wet." 1t is said that at
least thirty of the new members will
be opposed to Mayor Thompson, which
will prevent him from carrying out
any of his policies.

JOST is BEATEN
FOR REELECTION
IN KANSAS CITY
G. II. Edwards Chosen mayor
After Opposing Factions
Jail Foes.
POLICE CHIEF AND
COMMISSIONERS HELD
Six Acting Police Heads Are
Locked Up in Turbulent
Election.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 4.-Early
returns at midnight indicate the cleo
ton of George H. Edwards, a Repub-
lican, over the present mayor, Henry
l.. Jost, for mayor today by from
1000 to 5000 plurality. The activity
by the police, District and Appellate
courts made the election one of the
most turbulent election days in the
history Of Kansas City.
Action began early today when
Mayor Jost and his two police COM
missioners, Fred A. Lamb and J. s.
Lappley, took the police department
out of the hands of Chief of Police
II. w. Hammil, temporarily and made
the policemen responsible only to the
commissioners and Police Captain
Thomas P. Flahive.
Wholesale arrests of so-called sus-
picious men were begun before day
break and by noon ia had been
locked in the city Jail, most of them
workers against Mayor JOst. They
We're held on investigation charges
without bond during the day. Those
known to be bona fide were released
on bond in time to vote.
As retribution, the foes of Mayor
Jost caused the arrest of Captain Fla
hive, the acting chief Of police, and
the two police commissioners, Lamb
and Lappley. They were locked up on
contempt charges when they ignored
writs of habeas corpus issued by 4
Judge of the Circuit Court. The three
officials were locked in the county jail
during the afternoon. Five other men
named as acting chief of police were
locked up in succession. They were
released tonight on their own recog-
nizance by the Court of Appeals.
Their cases will be argued at IL
O'Clock tomorrow. The object of the
habeas corpus writs was to compel the
police TO take their election prisoners
into court for a hearing, but the
police officials, by going 70 Jail,
twarted the move and the prisoners
were thus kept from voting.

TO PROBE QUEER
LAND SALE SUIT
]. Henry Caruthers Will 60 to
Mississippi for De-
positions.

j. Henry Caruthers, prosecuting at
torney, will depart for Durant, Miss,
tomorrow to take dispositions in suit
to recover $1129.7S from Henry Anne
lunke, farmer living at Gordonville,
who sold the plaintiffs, c. J. Engel-
mann and J. r. Engelmann, of Oak
Ridge, $1,000 farm in Mississippi.
The suit grew out of the transfer
of the property and an alleged misrep-
r.sentation in the deed which Anne
iunke gave to the purchasers of the
land.
When Amelunke sold the land, in
September, 1912, he wrote into the
deed the provision that the purchasers
should take up a $4,000 deed of trust
against the land held by Mrs. Mary R.
Miles, and pay him the balance.
He gave the deed to his agent at
Durant, who had made the trans
fer. The two Engelmanns declare the
provision in the deed was marked out
when they received it. They deliv-
cred the money to pay for the farm
and the fact that the mortgage was
never taken up was revealed when
Mrs. Miles started foreclosure pro-
ceedings.
The Engrlmanns, father and son,
then we're forced to take it up to save
their interests. They then obtained
$500 in return from the agent who
the sale of the land, and sucd
Ameiunke for the remainder.

Will PUT CAPE
COURTHOUSE IN
BIG SPOTLIGHT
New Flood Lights" Will
Turn Their Rays on White
Building Walls.
LANDMARK WILL SHOW
FOR MILES FROM CAPE
Tinsley and Lighting Engineer
Plan Location of Search
Lights.

Preliminary steps We're taken yes
terday for the installation of what are
known as flood lights" in the Court
house Park by Ralph f. Perry Of s..
Louis, an Illuminating engineer. and
A. VI. Tinsley, manager Of the Pubic
Utilities Company.
The lights probably will be in
stalled by May l, Manager Tinslcy
declared, persuant with an agreement
with Mayor Rage arranged last fall.
The lights Will illuminate the park in
q manner unequalled in this part Of
the country and, at the same time, by
being focused on the courthouse build
ing itself, will constitute a unique
night spectacle for the Cape.
The arrangement to give the flood
lights a try-out was made tentatively
last fail by the Mayor and Mr.. Tins
ley al the time the question of lighting
the Courthouse Park came up in con-
nection with the city's case against
the utilities company before the Mi
souri, Public Service Commission.
Each of the lights to be installed
will be a high-power searchHght,
somewhat similar in construction to
the high-pOwer automobile headlights
that many motor ears in this city arc
equipped with. The light is thrown
in shaft straight out from the rcfcc-
tors, very little Of the power being
lost by what may be called spraying"
The way in which the lights arc
to be installed is unique. They Will
be placed about the courthouse in such
a manner that they will direct their
rays entirely on the white surfaced
brick walls at the front and rear.
The lights will be so controlled that
practically none of the rays will
miss" the surface of the building.
The power of this illumination will
turn the courthouse building into 4
vcritable reflector and the park for
many yards around will he illuminated
At a distance, the courthouse will
appear white, standing out abruptly
in the darkness of the night. it is
thought that should a person mount
the bluffs facing the river on the East
Side, at q distance of several miles
from the Cape, the courthouse viii he
plainly visible because Of the while
lighting effect that will be obtained.
The steamboats, plying the river
will also be able to sight the Cape for
many miles. and travellers coming to
the Cape from the west will be able
to view the light for miles as they
mount the higher ground allowing a
clear line of vision to the Cape.
This manner Of illumination is being
used to display many large buildings
in the East and its use in this city
will be comparatively an innovation in
the Middle West and especially in
Southeast Missouri. Lights of this
same character were used in display
ing some of the buildings at the San
Francisco exposition last year.
