Farmers, Who Drys Feared, Proved to Be Mainstays Of the Cause. HITCHRACK WAS BUGABOO CHIME3 OF INDIANA UNIVERSITY WAKE VOTERS AND THE COLLEGE PROFESSORS AND STUDENTS LEND HAND.
Bloomington, Ind., May 26. Contrary to general expectations, the farmers of Monroe county yesterday saved the local eoption election for the .'drys" by favoring that side of the iseue strongly. On the face of the returns the "drys" won by a majority of 40!). It is believed this majority may "oe increased slightly by . the official canvass. Bloomington township, which had fceen expected to give a good lead for the "drys" gave a "wet" majority of tt-. - c;:.v .: ' Hitchraek Va. Children. The hitchraek fight, which was in IJected into the option campaign and which it had been feared would cause the farmers to " vote against the temperance cause, did not count as the big factor the "wets" had expected. "The farmers evidently thought more of their children than of a hitchraek eround the court house when they entered the booths' today," declared Chairman Breeden of the "dirs' to-flight.
The Indiana University precinct was the banner one for the "drys," giving them a majority of 127. No saloons re effected by the vote, but the re
monstrance which made the city "dry" (would have expired in October.
Thousands of people were on the Streets to hear the returns last night jand the "dry" forces held an impromptu jollification, which continued
until a late hour.
Up ntil 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon the rain poured in torrents and the voting until that time was not tieavy. The rote after that hour all over the county was almost as heavy
cis at a general election. The autos and vehicles that had been standing
Idle in front of the "dry" and "wet
headquarters, were put into use and
kept busy until time the polls closed.
In the forenoon the "wets" made an
attempt to vote twenty-five Italian laborers who constitute the work gang on the Indianapolis Southern and who
have been living in a work train on
the side track, but this move was coun
teracted by the vigilant work of the
"drys." ;',: :. 14 .;,'..:;'. : V University Head Works in Rain.
President Bryan of Indiana universi
ty was on duty in this precinct and re
Tnalned on the outside all day long in
Ahe rain, lending his assistance for a
temperance victory. Late in the afternoon the "wets'
tnade the statement that the "drye"
were voting students of Indiana, university by the wholesale and threatened to file affidavits against them in the
tnorning. The "wets" challenged
ftbout fifty students during the day,
tmt each student made an affidavit to
the effect that he is a legal voter here. In one of the university precincts
She "wet" and "dry" workers had a leated argument over the question of fallowing students to vote, but violence was prevented by the cooler heads tresent. v The "drys" were sorry to
pee the rain yesterday as they believed
that a bright clear day the farmers
rtvould be too busy to go to the polls.
fcThe farmer vote was feared by the
"'drys' on account of the deepseated
(dissatisfaction growing out of the
ftiitchrack question. An hour before the average Bloom fngtonlan arose from bed the universi
Ity chimes were used yesterday morn-
ling for a concert by the "drys. Among

ENDS SENSATIONAL CASE
DECISION BY WASHINGTON, IND.,
JUDGE RECALLS THE HIGHLY COLORED INCIDENTS WHICH AROUSED STATE.
Washington, Ind., May 26. Judge
Houghton, of the Daviess circuit
court, yesterday declared valid the
marriage ceremony performed by Rev. E. E. Davidson, pastor of the First Christian church of this city, uniting himself in marriage to Miss Laura
Bunn Clark, daughter of former City
Mayor Hale Clark.
In rendering his decision the judge
announced that: "Having heard the evidence and being sufficiently advised, the court decrees that the marri
age entered into by Miss Laura Bunn
Clark and E. E. Davidson, and their
subsequent - relations as husband and wife are legal and binding, and they are declared and legally acknowledged husband and wife."
Thus ends a suit, the filing of which
created a sensation last March, and
was the cause of Rev. E. E. Davidson tendering his resignation as pastor of
the fashionable First Christian church
and his subsequent midnight departure from this city.
V Wanted it Public. ,'. When Miss Clark, after having re
peatedly appealed to him to make public their secret marriage in the Metropolitan hotel in St. Louis last December, filed suit asking the court to declare the marriage valid and enjoin him from denying it, the preacher boldly declared that no such marriage was ever performed, and that it was a
schem to force him into marriage.
When investigation was made at the Metropolitan hotel, however, it was learned that the preacher and Miss Clark had stopped there December 5,
1908, the date on which the preacher
himself performed the ceremony which he persuaded the girl to believe was all right. This was followed by the
production by Miss Clark of a marri
age contract in Davidson's handwrit
ing, and later a lot of letters written to her by Davidson while she was
stopping at the Grand hotel In Cincinnati, in which he urged her "For God's sake to keep secret that St. Louis affair.", -This evidence was considered so strong .and public indignation against him so aroused that to escape
possible violence he drove from the city at midnight and never returned, although the court tried to get service on him. The last heard of him he was in Toronto, Canada.
The young lady whom the court de
clared to be the legal wife of Rev.
Davidson is a cripple, and is compell
ed to get about on crutches. She has a remarkably pretty face, is cultured, is a fine musician and is a prominent member of the First Presbyterian church of this city. Her father was
twice mayor of this city.
GENNETT THEATRE. Week of May 24. "Billy Link." Jun1 and 2 Opera, "Priscilla." The New Phillips. It is not necessary to lengthen out with a detailed account of "Doomsday, or the End of the World" at the New
Phillips these three days. By this time this production is household talk in this city and your friends can give you a minute description of it if you but inquire. However, they could not begin to tell you of the story and the way it is produced to describe it would be impossible. 'Suffice to say, that there is nobody too good to see this show and if it is passed up it will simply be a ease of mistaken identity or a lack of wisdom. Del A. Phone, the human telephone, is the most mysterious souls in the land, yet he is as natural as the day is long and makes you laugh as you never have before. The Altons sing, talk, dance and tumble. In all their acts they are excellent. - The little girl, in her acrobatic acts, deserves especial commendation.
Billy Link played to an appreciative audience last night at the Gennett theater. In addition to several vaudeville turns a one-act' musical farce is given at the close of the show which is full of wit and sprightly action. Eddie Dwyer, the clever little comedian, gives an excellent imitation of George M, Cohan, which takes well with the audience. Wm. West and Beulah Benton have a very clever dancing and singing act, Mr. West having been connected with the great minstrel show, Primrose and West. Mention should also be made of Miss Blossom Robinson and The Great McCluxe.

Washington, D. C, May 25. The su
preme court of the United States, in
a case arising from New Albany, Ind., decided that a state cannot regulate
the shipment of intoxicating liduor into its borders, as that is entirely a function for the government to exercise under the interstate commerce
clause of the constitution.
A licensed liquor dealer at New Al
bany shipped liquor into Hart county, Ky., which is "dry" territory, and pre
paid the express charges. The consig
nee was W. C. Tharp, a resident of
Hart county. Tharp was in the habit
of becoming intoxicated and the de
fendant's agent in Hart county knew
this when he delivered the liquor.
The commonwealth of Kentucky brought suit against the company to recover astatutoryjpenalty of $50 and the supreme court holds against the
commonwealth.
Justice Brewer, in delivering the
opinion oflthe court, said:
"Liquor however obnoxious and hurtful itmay be. In the judgment of many is a recognized article of commerce." The court lays down the following as the I law on the subject: . The proposition is well established that the right to send liquors from one state into another and the act of sending the same is interstate commerce, the regulation whereof has been committed by the constitirtion to congress and hence that & state law which denies such a right or substantially interferes with or hampers the same, is in conflict with the constitution.
