BOSTON, Dec. 9.-The "wets" won a
sweeping victory in the elections in
eleven cities in the state to-day. the
voters turning out in force in favor Of
license, even in places where prohibi-
tion had been in effect for many years.
The result is regarded as a protest by
the voters against national prohibition.
In Lowell, where Mayor Percy D.
Thompson was reelected by majority
of 2,407, license won by 6,199 votes, the
largest majority in the history of the
city. Last year Lowell voted for IL
cense by majority of only 1852.
Activity on the part of the no-license
forces and the presence of the soldier
vote explains in a measure the large
majority for license.
The city of Worcester voted for no
license by more than two to one, the
vote being 16,O49 yes and 1850 no.
Last year the vote in Worcester was
yes, 10000; no, 6,184

Frank ]. Could's Divorce
Decree Upheld in Paris
Court Overrules Plea 1t Has
No Jurisdiction Because Ex-
Wife Is Resident of u. S.

PARIS, Dec. 9.-The decree of d.
vorce obtained by Frank Jay Gould, of
New York, from Edith Kelly Gould
was sustained in judicial proceedings
here to-day.
The court overruled Mrs. Gould's
plea that it had no jurisdiction be-
cause of her being resident Of the
United States.
The divorce decree, sustained yester-
day, was granted to Mr.. Gould by the
civil court of Versailles on April II
last. Mrs. Gould failed to appear to
answer her husbands charges, but filed
tune. This is presumed to apply only
to his holdings in France, valued at
$1,500000. On the death of his father
Mr. Gould inherited one-sixth of the
$90,000,000 estate.
