VET. MAJORITY III MAINE IS REDUCED Result of tfie Election Yesterday Is Now Declared to Be in Doubt.

(National News Association) AUGUSTA, Me., Sept 12. With reports from seven towns and cities missing Maine went "wet" by a majority of 907 yesterday. "Dry" leaders declare a contest will result if official figures show the "wets" were victorious. ' '

SHRINKAGE SHOWN. PORTLAND, Me., Sept. 12. Later today returns showed a shrinkage in the "wet" majority and the prohibition result was declared to be in doubt.

WETS CONFIDENT. . ANGUSTA, Me., Sept. 12. With reports from nine towns and plantations still missing the result of the election on the question of Btate prohibition was In doubt early today with an apparent majority for the "wets" of 75, although both sides claimed victory.. Leaders of the "wet" faction vigorously asserted that they would show a plurality of between 850 and 1,000 when all of the returns were officially counted. Leaders of the "dry faction declared that if the "wets" had really won by a margin so small they would contest the result. Prohibition leaders In Maine have not given up hope of victory and will ask a recount of the vote on the repeal of the prohibition clause in the constitution. Pending official count of the ballots which will take nearly a week to make, the "dry" leaders today are going over the unofficial returns with the hope of detecting some error which may turn the tide of victory in their direction. t . , The . self-government league which made a count In every city and town early today placed the repeal majority at 140. Newspapers place the total for repeal at 906. With this variety of figure all in favor of the "wet" forces there was every indication that the prohibition forces had been defeated.

Cllsthenes, Athenian statesman, introduced the custom of oct racism and

was the first to be banished thereby.

The Richmond Commercial club formally ushered in its fall season at the

meeting of the members of the organi-

aztion Monday evening in the club rooms at the Masonic Temple. The business session was given over to hearing reports from several committees of the club, and discussions of many questions of interest to the citizens. After the business hour, the Rev. Lightbourn gave an interesting and instructive address on the subject of the "Bermudas." About forty local business men were present at the gathering. President S. E. Swayne opened the meeting shortly after eight o'clock in

the evening. Secretary Charles Jor

dan read the minutes of the last regular meeting of the members, held

some time last May. Mr. Swayne then made a few remarks in tribute of the late George Dilks, who was one of the directors of the club at the time

of his death, recently.

The Secretary next announced a convention of the Indiana Federation of Commercial clubs, which is to be held on the eighteenth and nineteenth of October, in Fort Wayne. This federation was organized some four years ago by the Richmond Commercial club, and has been a prosperous and beneficial Institution ever since that

time. As the organization Is the result of efforts of this city, Mr. Jor

dan expressed the hope that Rich'

mond would send as large a delegation as possible to the gathering at Fort Wayne. Adam Bartcl, as chairman of the club's committee to organize the new "North and South" traction company, was called on by the president to give a report of the progress in his work. He announced that there would be a meeting of the people interested in the proposition next Friday night at the Commercial club. At this meet

ing the route which the traction line

is to follow north ot the city, will be

determined, and the incorporation

will be discussed. It is also expected that most of the stock will be sub

scribed for at the same time.

Mr. Jordan said that the commit

tee's first action was to send two dele-

gatlons at different times, along each of the suggested routes in the north

to find how the people regarded the proposition, and to discover what difficulties would be encountered In put

ting through the line. Then the com

mittee prepared a long list of questions concerning the towns on the new

line, and spent some time answering these to their satisfaction. The leading query, all the time, according to Mr.

Jordan, was whether they would be able to get the money to finance the

work. The delegations that were sent

out to the small neighboring towns reported that the people were anxious for the line, and would support it

heartily. Speaking of the relative merits of the two possible routes in the north, Mr. Jordan said that larger towns were on the route through Winchester, while the county near Union

City was newer, and could probably be developed. The question of determining which of the two is the better, Mr. Johnson declined to discuss until next Friday. President Swayne closed the discussion of the traction situation by thanking the men who were devoting much of their time to the matter, and who were responsible for the good work already accomplished. The next matter to come before the meeting was the situation at the National Road west of the city. The president called on Mr. E. M. Haas, chairman of the committee appointed to investigate the problem, to give a review of the work that had been done since the last meeting of the club in the spring. Mr. Haas said that the committee did . very little at first because the situation was such that no action could be taken that would help any. A short time ago, however, matters changed and the committee went to work at once to study the history of the National road controversy. Their findings, Mr. Haas said, could be best set forth by having the secretary read the official report of the committee which was in the possession of the secretary. After reading a synopsis of the report, Mr. Jordan said the committee has been consulting both the T. H. I. and E. Traction line and the county commissioners, the opposing parties, and find that it is now possible that the company will agree to making the road forty feet in width, and will stand the cost of a large part of the construction of the roadway, if the county officials will not appeal their suit to the supreme court and make certain other minor concessions. This course seemed to the club committee the most satisfactory and expedient, as the committee said it would do away with an intntte amount of expensive litigation, and will hasten the work of the building the highway. At the end of the hearing of the report, Charles E. Shiveley made a motion that the members of the club approve the work of the committee, and thank

them for their time and effort. The mo

tion was passed unanimously.: The president assured the club that this

committee would continue its active

service as long as there was any work it could accomplish.

H. R. Robinson, the president of the Richmond Lake and Park Company, gave a little talk on the work being done in the project of which he is the head. He said that the institution had been well supported, and that the funds for erecting a dam on the site

of the company's ground were rapidly coming into the treasury. They are trying to fulfill ell their pledges to the city, and Mr. Robinson said, the city can buy up the place for a municipal amusement park any time it so desires

although the officers of the park hope

and believe that the city will not take any cation of this sort until some time

after, all the plansfor the park have been carried into effect E. M. Haas told of an offer he had had from Mr. Appel, of the Indianapolis Park Board, who said that the board at the state

capital would give the services of

their landscape gardener, Mr. Kessler, to this city for a day. -In this time the

Indianapolis expert could make an in

vestigation of the land and formulate

a landscape plan.

Renewing Complexions By Absorption

If your complexion is marred with blotches, moth patches, pimples or freckles, it's useless to putter with powders and paints, lotions, creams and things, in an effort to get rid of the trouble. Unless you have some ability as an artist you'll mar your appearance still more. The new and rational way is to take off the complexion itself, with all its offensive marks. Just get an ounce of pure mercolized wax at the druggist's and use at night same as cold cream. Remove next morning with water and soap, following with dash of cold water. The mercolized wax absorbs the half-dead scarf skin in flaky particles, so gradually no one guesses you're treating your face-; unless it be by the result which is truly wonderful. There's nothing, like it for restoring a natural, healthy and beautiful complexion. Aunt Sally.
