i
Prohibition Loses After Bit
ter Campaign.
MORE THAN 120,000 TO POLLS
With Practically Every Town and Vil
lage Complete Liquor Interests Ap
pear to Have Won a Victory.
Portland Is For Saloons.
Portland, Me., Sept. 12. More thnu
120,000 voters of this state went to the
polls and registered their 'opinions on
whether or not tho state should con
tinue with the constitutional amend
ment in force which prohibits the sale
of Intoxicating liquors. Tho Indica
tions are that those who oppose pro
Vibitlon turned out in sl&htly greater
numbers than did those who favor its
retention.
With bvf nineteen small towns to
be heard from, tho vote stands 00,782
for the repeal of the amendment to
G9.878 for its retention, a majority of
004
In 1853 the Maine legislature adopt
ed a statute prohibiting the liquor busi
ness, but it was repealed after a brief
'experience. In 1S57 the law was again
passed and has never been repealed.
In 18S4 the question of placing prohi
bition in the constitution was put to
the people and prohibition won by n
majority of 45.0SS.
More than n thousand meetings were
held In different parts of tho state In
the present campaign under the auspi
ces of the Prohibition forces, and prom
inent men from other states were
called up to assist in the cause.
When near closing time for the polls
the "yes" people had ti majority of
1,500, with thirty-one towns to hear
from. These towns will not affect the'
result to nny appreciable degree. Gov
ernor Plaisted is on his way to attend
the governors conference at Spring
Lake, N. J and could not be reached,
but it is not believed that a special
session of the legislature will be called
to pass a local option law. Had the
victory for tho "wets" been more de
cisive a session would probably havo
been called.
A total vote on tho liquor question
of 120,000 was polled, which is within
20,000 of the vote polled at the last
state election, when Plaisted was elect
ed governor.
Tho fight was bitter all over tho
state, but was particularly close in
York county, which will give a margin
of less than 100 votes in favor of re
peal. The Prohibitionists had counted
on York as one of their counties. One
small town. Greenwood, gave the big
pest percentage of majority for the
wets by polling sixty-five for repeal
and but a solitary ballot against.
BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT. I

Ottawa, Sept. 12. The Canadian

Cartago Tribunal Costly and Used by

New Orleans, Sept. 12. An interna

early date, probably in Guatemala
City, for the purpose of abolishing the
Cartago peace court.
Salvador, Costa Rica and Honduras
are hacking tho project, nnd nn effort

The countries assert that tho cost of

WIDOW OF SUICIDE
GUARDS $100,000 SECRET.
Refuses to Tell Husband's Story, and
His Property Is Held Back.
A young woman went to n New
York lawyer the other day and told
him that because her husband when
dying had induced her to listen to a
secret ho said was slowly killing him
and because sho agreed to hear It,
though he imposed tho condition that
thoy dlo together immediately after
ward, her sisters-lu-law in the City of
Mexico refused to let her have the
property ho left, nmounting to $100,
000. She said she had never told the se
cret and that she never would. The
lawyer has learned that last winter,
when sho lay In a hospital recovering
from tho wounds inflicted by her hus
band upon her (those inflicted on him
self cnuswlhls death), she refused to
submit to an operation for blood poi
soning because she was afraid of tell
ing the secret under an anaesthetic.
Four letters havo been sent to the
City of Mexico to sisters of the dead
man. In these the lawyer has tried
to bring about an understanding with
out the necessity of court proceedings.
Elsa Muchweck Torrea is the young
widow. Her husband's name was
Raul Torrea. She came from Nnum
berg, Germany, a few years before she
mot the young Mexican in New York.
Ho was twenty-seven nnd she was
twenty-five last summer when they
decided to bo married. They went to
tho city hall on Oct 17, 1910, got a 11
censo nnd had nn alderman marry
them.
Mrs. Torrea has told her lawyer
that they planned to go to tho City of
Mexico, where ho had been nn In
structor in a military school, but tho
husband proposed the double suicide.
Since she got out of the hospltnl
Mrs. Torrea has filed ancillary letters
of administration with the surrogate
and has been appointed administratrix
of her husband's estate under a bond
of $12,000. A friend to whom Torrea
wrote lias told her lawyer that Rich
ard Torrea, Raul's father, left $800.
000 when ho died nnd that about $100,
000 of this was to go to Raul.
Ilcr demands upon tho estato havo
been met by tho demand from the sis
ters that sho tell them tho reasons
that led Torrea to make the suicide
agreement.

FIRST HARVARD TO
STUDY AT HARVARD.
Descendant of Founder's Cousin Will
Take Four Years' Course,
For tho first time in Harvard univer
sity's 275 years of Ufo u Hnrvard la
ontcrcd as a student. Lionel do Jersey
Harvard of London, under circum
stances most unusual and sentimental,
will take his place in the class of 1915.
Ho is a member of tho original John
Harvard family, '
John Harvard died in 1038, two year
after tho university which was later
given his name was founded. Thorn
ns Harvard was his second cousin.
The Harvard who is coming to Ameri
ca is descended from Thomas Har
vard and prepared for college at the
pamo London school nt which John
Harvard prepared for Emmanuel col
lege, Cambridge, SOO years ngo.
In 1847 Edward Everett, then presi
dent of nnrvard university, wrote to
George Bancroft, minister to Great
Britain, asking Mr. Bancroft to deliver
pome books, including n set of Qulncy'a
"History of Harvard," to the Rev.
John Harvard of Plymouth, England.
Louis A. Holmnn of Boston went to
Englnnd in 1908 for several months of
work Involving antiquarian and other
research. At tho homo of J. Maw
son Hnrvnrd, a grandson of the Rov.
John Harvard, ho found two sons,
Lionel, now eighteen, and Kenneth,
now fourteen. An older son, John, had
died.
Nothing was then said regarding tho
future attendance of one of the sons
nt Harvard university, but when Mr.
Harvard later wrote that financial ob
stacles had compelled Lionel to give
up his ambition to attend Emmanool
college, which John Hnrvard attended,
Mr. nolmon talked to those in authori
ty at Harvard and to a few Harvard
alumni. Tlie result wns a few interest
ed graduates agreed to provide a fund
ample to care for tho tuition and ex
penses of the young man during his
four years' course.

They may hammer Into plowshares all
tho weapons made to kill.
They may force the Jealous nations to cut

Newport rages still.
