OHIO DRYS MOAN
We ABIDE BY
DECISION
State, National Prohibition
Beaten 2 to /; Leaguers
Respect Majority

COLUMBUS. Nov. 3 GN.S),
AS the vote that put Ohio def.
nitely in the prohibition repeal
column mounted today to 1884.
500, the Ohio Anti-Saloon League
announced that it would respect
the wishes of the majority and
abide by the decision"
Latest returns from all but a
handful of precincts over the
State showed the wet majority
on repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment had increased to
741,937.
Tabulation Of 1896 of the
States 1885 precincts showed
this result:
For repeal, 1.284,502.
Against repeal, 542,565.
State Repeal Also Wins
The State prohibition repeal
measure was forging ahead with
a slightly smaller majority. Re.
turns from 1874 precincts gave
it a lead of 61O,270. The count
stood:
For State repeal, 1,132,944.
Against, 522.674.
Of the three other Statewide
issues voted on at yesterdays
election-the 10-mill tax limita'
ton amendment. the old age pen.
sion law, and the county home
rule" amendment all carried
with sizeable majorities except the
last, which was struggling along
with only a small margin in its
favor.
With a galaxy of important is
sues to be decided upon. Ohio
voters turned out at the polls in
greater numbers than for many
years at an "off-year" election.
100000 Votes Cast
The Secretary of State, chief
election official in Ohio, estima-
ted that 100000 votes were
cast. This would be only 100000
under the Ohio vote in the presi-
Dental election, when 100000
ballots were counted. The average
for "off-year" elections Is about
100000.
AS was expected, the larger
cities rolled up a preponderantly
wet vote, but they were aided by
a number of rural counties which
abandoned the dry cause for the
first time.
The So delegates elected to the
State repeal convention will meet
in the capital on December 5 to
ratify formally the Twenty-firSt
Amendment. Gov. George White
then will issue a call for the leg
islature to meet in special session
to enact legislation regulating the
distribution of hard liquor.

CITY VOTE
Philadelphia Puts Democrats
In Power, Breaking Grip
of Organization

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 8 Q.N.S0
The perverse gods Of politics who
raped the Tammany tiger
smartly on the chin reached over
into Philadelphia today to smear
up the private political racetrack
presided over by William S. Ware
who always held the winning
tickets.
For years political writer's have
overworked superlatives to describe
the Ware machine as "the impreg,
nable citadel Of Republicanism, u
etc.
Just Wreckage Now
Today, the Democrats sent them
scurrying for antonyms to portray
the wreckage left in the wake Of a
hurly-burly onslaught that very
definitely loosened the Ware grip
on politics in the City of Broth
erly Love.
Here's all the Democratic-Inde-
pendent Republican combined did
to Bill" Ware in his home town:
They whipped his city controller
candidate, Chester N. Farr, and
placed a Democrat, S. Davis Will
son, on the job.
They slapped down Bernard
Samuel. Republican city treasurer
candidate, and eased in Willb Had
ley.
PIuralities Are Large
In each case, the plurality
ranged between $4,000 and $4,000.
Likewise with other outstanding
contests. Harry v. Dougherty and
Charles D. Hersch, Democrats,
steam.rollered to victory over the
Republican candidates for register
Of wills and coroner, respectively,

nominees fought through success

Representative Francis H. Shoe

charge of assaulting a 26-year-old

He is charged with assaulting with
his fists Theodore Cohen, of the
Chastelton Apartments, while the

his apartment.
Bradley requested that the trial
be continued until after Congress

Six astronomers and astro-

10000 miles a second.
Detects New Motion
Then he described how he had
detected a motion in the solar
system-a motion through the
ether that would be similar to
the motion of a particle, dropped
or shot, through water.
He said the motion was "abso-
Lutte" that is, it was a motion
that had no relation to nearby
stars, the Milky Way, or even far
off galaXieS.
He described the discovered mo-
ton as being opposite" to that

galaxy. AstrOnomically speaking,
our sun and all its planets, in
cluding the earth, is travelling
northwar6 through the local
galaxy toward the constellation
Hercules at a rate of about %
miles a second.
DR.. Miller found that the prog
ress of the solar system through

direction, southwark, and at a
rate of 155 miles per second.

Technical proof" that the earth
and our whole solar system is be-
ing shot through an immaterial
substance known as "ether" at a
rate of about 155 miles a second
was submitted today at. the open
ing session of the annual meeting
of the National Academy of
Sciences.
If verified, the discovery will
greatly modify the theory Of rela-
tivity, which leaves the ether out
Of account, and will cause all as.

For the past IS years scientists
have tried to discover an "ether-

Boston Judge Frees Crawford
on Contention Race Bias
Exists in Virginia

BOSTON, Mass, April "a.
Because the State Of Virginia
does not allow negroes to serve
on juries, Judge James .. Low
ell in the United States Court
here today issued writ of ha-
beas corpus releasing from Gus
tody George Crawford, colored,
who was awaiting extradition
from Boston to Virginia to
stand trial for the double muir
der Of Mrs. Agnes Boeing H.
sley, wealthy southern sports
woman, and her maid.
Papers permitting Crawford's
extradition had already been
signed -hx GoHernQr Ely but he
cannot now be taken back to Vlr-
ginia as a prisoner.
In arguing against the petition
for the writ in the presence OF
District Attorney John H. Gale
her. of Loudoun county, Va,
where the crime occurred more
than a year ago, Assistant Dis
trict Attorney John Baciagalupo
admitted that although Virginia
statutes call for white and black
men on juries, judges have discre-
ton and select only whites.
Bacigalupo asked the court:
"Are we going to say that Vir-
ginia does not uphold the laws
of the United StateS?"
The court replied:
"They haven't done SO when
It comes to putting negroes on
the jury"
Crawford was alleged to have
confessed the crime, but at the ex-
tradition hearing denied it.

NEW YORK, April "a Q.N.S0.
Security and commodity markets
today continued their uprush in
enormous dealings as bullish en-
thusiasm was stimulated by op-
timistic dispatches from the
Washington conferences and a
fresh sinking spell in the dollar.
Stocks spurted l to 4 points, led
by the steels and mining shares,
as a new buying stampede de-
veloped. The highspeed ticker
fell behind Immediately and
trailed by eight minutes.
Stocks ran into tremendous
profit-taking soon after the open
ing and the boom suffered a tenn
porary setback. Most issues gave
up a good part of their early gains
while a number of stocks, particu-
larly in the high-priced rails and
the utilities, sold under Saturdays
close.

United States Government issues

Administration forces in

force an early vote on the

ority threatened to block a final
vote until Wednesday, in an ef-
fort to arouse the nation against

Passage Due Gas Is"
The initiation cections Of the
bill would authorize the President
to expand the currency of $4,000
100000 through the Federal Re
serve System, issue $4,000, 900, 900
more of United States notes,
remonetize silver and reduce the
gold content of the dollar.

it would be formally attached to
the farm bill without change"
The farm relief provisions were
as far-reaching, although some
Administration spokesmen pre-
dicted they might never be in
voked if the initiation program in

WalIace'S Power
The farm sections would author
ize Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace to increase commodity prices
by renting surplus acreage,
negotiating price-fixing agree
mentS between producers and pro-
ceSSorS, and paying bonuses under
the allotment system and export
bounties to a limited degree.
They would apply to wheat, cot
ton, tobacco, corn, hogs, dairy
products, rice and sugar.
The mortgage relief provisions
would authorize a $4,000, 600, 900
bond issue to refinance farm
mortgages at AZ per cent inter
est, with a five-year moratorium
on payments.
A second section would create
