YORK WOMEN
GIVE BOOZE A
SEVERE WALLOP
CITIES VOTE ON SALOON
QUESTION.
Twenty Towns Out of Thirty nine
Go DRY" While Eighteen Decide
to Retain J. Barleycorn;
One in Doubt.

ALBANY, N. Y, April 1.-THE
liquor traffic received hard blow in
New York state tonight with the an
nouncement that more than major
ity of the thirty-nine cities holding
local option elections had declared not
only against the saloon, but also
against the sale of liquor under any
conditions.
With only one city, Geneva, in
doubt, the returns showed that the
drys had triumphed in twenty munich
palities, while eighteen decided to con-
tinue the traffic in alcoholic beverages.
OF the three second class in which
the elections were held, Binghamton
voted dry, while Syracuse and Schen-
ectady remained in the wet column.
Returns from thirty-three of the
thirty-nine cities holding local option
elections show that seventeen cities
had voted against the saloon, and six
teen in favor of licensing the sale of
intoxicants.
The cities voting dry were: Auburn,
Batavia, Binghamton, Canandaigua,
Corning, Cortland, Elmira, Fulton,
Gloversville, Hornell, Ithaca, James
town, Johnstown, Middletown, Nor
ia, Oneida, Plattsburg.
Those voting to license the sale of
liquor were: Amsterdam, Beacon,
Glen Falls, Kingston, Mount Vernon,
New Rochelle, Newburgh, Little Falls,
Lockport, Ogdensburg, Olean, Port
Jervis, Rome, Syracuse, Schenectady,
Tonawanda, North Tonawanda and
Oswego.
The balloting, which lasted two
days, was the largest ever cast in any
of the municipalities. due chiefly to
the fact that it was the first election
in which the recently enfranchised
women of the state had been given
an opportunity to exercise the suf-
frage, and the first time any voters
in the cities had had chance to ex-
press their views on the liquor ques-
tion.
In cities voting dry the sale Of
liquor must cease October 1 next.

unit made its first appearance Tues
day. 1t was led by Norman Sebern

of cheers. The mayors cabinet, city

intense pitch until the last person had
passed and the crowd rushed into the
street.
Give Red Cross Ovation
AS the Red Cross chapter passed
with their service flag, many threw
coins upon the outstretched flag as
they passed by. One Irish woman ap-
peared before Marshal Burnett car
rying flag with four service stars.
She asked where she should march
She was told that with such a record
she might select her place among any
of the dignitaries of the parade. She
chose the Woman's council of defense.
This pageant showed Denver why
the kaiser is worried and why his
weak-kneed son is shivering in his
Berlin-made boots.
Denver was never so thoroly
aroused. Denver was never so patri-
otic as she was Tuesday.
At the conclusion of Denver's great
est and most impressive pageant, the
Liberty loan army gathered at the

ment and faith were spoken.

friends, however, that during the
past few months of his life the dis
ease that finally caused his death had
altered his disposition and those
who gained his acquaintance in the
recent past cannot fully appreciate
his character nor realize his real
worth. This writer enjoyed his
acquaintance for nearly forty years
and is glad to bear testimony to
his worth as man and citizen and to
his loyalty to friends and country.
He was man of strong convictions,
had the courage to express them up
on all proper occasions and never
hesitated to defend what he believed
to be right whenever opportunity
offered. He will be missed by a
large circle of abiding friends and
many acquaintance who had learned
to respect him for what he was.
Peace to his ashes.

A TRIBUTE.

The passing of John Carey, who
died at the home of his brother in
this city on the 9th inst, marks the
end of the earthly pilgrimage of one
of Hamilton county's best known
and most highly respected citizens.
Coming here nearly fifty years ago
in the flush of young and vigorous
manhood he made his home in this
vicinity during all the years since.
Until few years ago he lived upon
his farm down the river, southeast of
town, when he came to this city to
pass the evening of life.
John Carey was one of Gods noble
men and no man in Hamilton county
was more worthy of the respect and
esteem in which he was held by the
neighbors among whom he lad lived
and wrought for nearly half a cen
fury and who knew him intimately
and well. Many were the deeds of
kindness to his credit and it can
be truthfully said of him that to
serve those in distress was his re-
ligion. He was kind hearted, broad
minded man, generous to fault and
coveted the friendship of acquaint-
ances above anything in the world.
A few years ago Mr.. Carey OBJ
served in the presence of this writer
that he would rather leave record
that would entitle him to the kindly
remembrances of he people who
knew him we'll than to leave any
thing else in the world That he left
such a record none can question. He
was in fact man, full statured and
we'll proportional in body and mind
and deserved the respect and conf
dence in which he was held in this
community.
In the years of his vigor he was
clear visioned and keen in intellect
and was well informed upon all
questions that demand the thought
and consideration of men generally.
1t had been noticed by his intimate
