Battling Huntley Thought to Be Coming Ring Artist

Peru. Ind., March 17. Voters of Miami county yesterday cast their ballots against the licensed saloon and it is - tlmated on the face of unofficial and partially incomplete returns that the majority in favor of no license will be about 1,043. As had been anticipated, the city of Peru went "wet" and the majority in favor of saloons in the city was 666. This was not as large a majority as the "wets" had expected. Peru and Peru township gave a "wet" majority of 112, which was greatly overcome by the out townships. 7 The vote In the five wards of Peru was as follows; I ; s "Wet" "Dry" First Ward . . .1 417 198 Second Ward ...... ..379 22G Third Ward 336 384 Fourth Ward ...... . .341 . 188 Fifth Ward.. .. .. , . ..347 158

Totals.. .... .. ..1,820 1,154 The Vote by Townships. . , Owing to the poor conditions of the telephone system throughout the county, five of the townships have not reported complete majorities. None of these, however, was carried by the "wets." . Clay township, one precinct, reported a majority of 62 for the "drys." The vote In Jackson township against saloons was a surprise to all who had

estimated the majority, the most con

servative having figured the township would go "dry" by about 75. Owing to raw, wintry weather yes

terday afternoon the polls In this city

closed with a shortage of many votes

in each precinct. Warmer weather prevailed in the morning and the older voters came out In numbers. The

vote w as heavy until 3 o'clock, when

there was a noticeable falling off.

Around the polls in Peru all day there

were large crowds of "wets" and "drys" discussing the outcome good naturedly. . There were no disturbances worthy of note. Five Arrests for Illegal Voting. Five men were arrested, however, for Illegal voting. All gave bond and none went to jail. Several detectives from nearby towns were on duty, and they stopped quite a number of strangers who appeared at the polls to vote. Both sides vinade an effort to get out a full vote, and automobiles and lively outfits fairly flew about town toward the close of the day's balloting. There were no demonstrations on the streets by either side. It was a business proposition for both and they worked to win. Iate in the afternoon some of -the liquor men were ready to concede the day to the "drys," although the result in Peru seemed to pusrle each of . the factions. ; t The first precinct to report was the First in Jefferson township. This was considered a doubtful precinct by the "drys" and the "wets" declared they would carry it. The vote stood 78 "dry to 37 "wet," a majority of 41 for the "drys This vote was' counted at 4 o'clock inasmuch as the entire vote of the precinct was in. - There are thirty-five precincts In the county. At the present time there are forty-three saloons in Miami county, and all of them are in operation in this city.

Two Champions of the World Met By Accident in Chicago Street

When Charles Smith, a special deputy of Kings county New York, became riotous and abusive at the Arlington hotel this morning, he was ousted upon the street. The police were notified and Roberts and Sergt. McManus put Smith under arrest. He now rests supinely in a state of absolute intoxication on the cement floor of the city jail. Smith attempted to become ugly with the police officers, when they removed him from the patrol wagon, saying he would not leave it as he wanted to take a ride. He

left, however, and whenhe sobers up will be given a chance to offer explanations. Many Credentials. Smith is loaded with credentials, showing he is a bona fide officer of the law. Kings county is right down at "little Old New York." Not the least of Smith's equipment is an opened carton containing a bottle of whisky. He has a badge showing his authority and his papers of appointment. His papers are signed by Alfred T. Hobley. sheriff of King's county. Smith had a ticket from this city to Rome City in his pocket. He carried no revolver, but in one of his pockets was found a cartridge which contains a poisoned bullet. His pocket book contained but $4.74, which will fall considerably short of being enough to pay a fine.

The police are waiting for Smith to

sober up enough to offer explanations.

How he happens to be here and what

may be his mission to Rome City are

unknown locally.

After several years of tests and experiment a report has recently been made by the United States Geological Survey on the subject of fuel briquettes, which is exceedingly favorable. In all tests the use of briquettes seems to have increased the evaporative efficiency of the boilers and generally decreased smoke density. In all tests the use of briquettes is exceedingly favorable in place of coal In locomotive firing.
