William Stahr, commissioner for the

drys at the Hagerstown local option

election Saturday, said today tnat ami-

saloon workers in Hagerstown are

confident that blind tigers will not ex

ist in Jefferson township.

He said that at the last election

the majority for the drys was extreme

ly small, winning by only four votes,

and public sentiment was not strong

enough to enforce the laws.

"With an overwhelming majority,

such as was recorded Saturday, there

will be no more trouble along this

line in Hagerstown," he said. "At the election Saturday It was the first time the drys have really worked to get out the votes," said

Mr. Stahr. "In previous elections the anti-saloon workers did not get out and work. The sentiment In Jefferson township is and has been for many years very strong against the saloon, and the strength was -well Indicated Saturday." The election commissioners reportto the county auditor this morning the official vote, which stood 360 for the drys and 252 for the wets.

Starr piano officials have not esti

mated the loss, but say that it -will not be heavy.

The motor was located in the wood

cutting room. Most of the stock in this room was wood, and it was soak

ed by hundreds of gallons of. water.

The stock was not ruined, however,

Smoke did some damage. During the fire a defective motor in another building started a blaze, but .this -was ex

tinguished without any loss.

Ladder Receives Test. The fire at the piano plant was the

most serious result of the electric

storm which swept Richmond and vi

cinity. Also it furnished the first real

test of the motor aerial ladder truck,

purchased a year ago. The . big extension ladder was shot. up to the fourth floor of the building without the

least difficulty, and within five min

utes after the arrival df the truck

firemen were in the room where the

blaze was.

Reports received here today from

points near Richmond show that Sat

urday evening's electric , and wind

storm did very little damage. Some

small buildings and trees were blown

ever, but no one was injured,- and

crops were not damaged.

The electric storm of Sunday morn

ing also passed over this locality with

out inflicting any serious damage. A bolt of lightning struck a ventilator on the Pennsylvania round house, demolishing it, but doing no damage to the building nor Injuring any of its

occupants.

' Courtroom Besieged. - Crowds besieged the courtroom today in expectation of seeing the Jury completed and hearing the father's story from the witness1 stand. The interest in the trial -which lagged

somewhat durinsr the last week of

weary jury-picking, has revived.

Much mystery was thrown today

about the identity of a wltae ss for

the defense, who, it is said, will go

on -the stand and swear .that Marion

Lambert attempted to commit suicide several days prior to her death.

The witness is said to te a mine

and her story was first given, to the

attorneys for Orpet by a man calling

himself Joseph Hartmann. It is understood that he gave the defense the

mysterious woman's name and ad

dress.

James H. Wilkerson, senior counsel

for Orpet, admitted today that he, is

conducting a search for the woman.

He attempted to make light of her

'testimony, even if she were allowed

to -give it. It became known, how

ever, that Hartmann is under the con

stant surveillance of agents for the

defense.

Kelly Lauds System.

Pr. Kelly lauded the Richmond

school system in its attitude on the

question of Bible study. He said that

Richmond had a larger enrollment of

Bible students in its schools than any other city in Indiana, figuring on an average basis. He further lauded spirit and achievements of Richmond high school athletic teams. Rev. L. . Murray delivered the invocation and benediction. A solo number, "O, for the Wings of a Dove," was given by Miss Harris. The Reid Memorial quartet, Miss Harris, Mrs. BarteL Mr. Foss, Mr. Jones, with Miss Hageman, organist, gave several numbers.

must be adopted before nominations

are made. But at to whether if nominated the justice would accept, there i no one here who can lpeak with authority. ..Naturally, it is generally accepted that no American would refuse a presidential nomination at the hands of one of the great parties. But that is a belief that has never been openly passed upon by Justice Hughes, and the leaders of the movement to carry, the convention for Colonel Roosevelt, and the managers of the campaign

for the "allies" are making the most of the fact. Within the last forty-eight hours

many delegates favorable to the cause

of Justice Hughes have received tele

grams calling their attention to the embarrassing position the party would

be in should the justice be nominated and then decline to make the race. There is no doubt that these telegrams

are making the Hughes advocate uneasy and that they would greatly welcome an expression of intention on the part of their candidate.

There was a growing belief In po

litical circles here today that the plans

of the justice will be made public probably through some ; intlmaU friend before the end of this week. ,

Physicians practically gave up hope for his recovery when he failed to

rally after the operation. His advanced age, 78, and the in

tense pain which he suffered from the

abscess one on his side, had so weakened his general constitution that he was not able to withstand the strain of the operation. Messages of condolence from . all parts of the country and some from abroad poured into the Hill home here all day. One was from King Albert of Belgium, sent when he learned that "the empire builder" was very ill. It expressed the hope that he would have a speedy recovery. Although not a Catholic, it is said that the last rights of the Catholic church were administered to Mr. Hill just before he lapsed into a coma condition late yesterday. He was unconscious for twelve hours preceding his death. The Rev. Thomas Gibbons, vicar general of the Catholic diocese of St Paul was a very warm personal friend of Mr. Hill and it is understood

votes against 91 dry votes. Thirty-

four men in this precinct did not vote.

Many people in Hagerstown believe that the large victory for the drys

was due to the speech made by

Charles Teetor, president, of the

Teetor-Hartley motor company, to the employes of the factory. He told the men to vote the way they pleased but he pointed out the advantages of a dry town. This speech is believed to have been responsible for the small vote in the third district where most of the factory men vote. It is thought that those who had planned to vote wet stayed away from the, polls after hearing their employer's

talk. Efforts were made to get most of these men to the polls but they declined to go. Both factions were busy all day with machines bringing voters to and from, although the drys were working somewhat harder than the wets. Before election day, the drys had carried on a vigorous campaign while the wets did nothing to boo6t their

cause. There was no celebration of any

kind over the victory although men

tion was made of it in the church services yesterday. No hard feeling existed between the opposing parties and the election passed without an arrest or any mis-conduct In any way. "The majority rules," was the sentiment of both factions. At the last local option election, Hagerstown went dry by four votes.

ONE' EMPTY SEAT

the police machine with Officers little, Parks, Wenger and Stephenson arrived in about five minutes. Then the Bullerdick office was entered. Everything was found to be all right there so the Hackman-Klefoth coal yard and the south end C. & O. station were examined. No robberies

had been committed at either place so the Muey saloon was then visited and found to be almost wrecked.

Say Search Abandoned. Some people living near the Muey saloon charge that when the police car left. the Muey place in search of the robbers pursuit had to be abandoned about a mile south of the city because the supply of gasoline became exhausted. Chief Goodwin said today that he

was not convinced that Officer Hanning had acted improperly In conducting his investigation but said that a

thorough probe of tire case would be made. He said the other officers detailed to assist Hanning had reported

that Hanning had taken the proper action; that he had no way of locating the place where the explosion occurred and that it would have been folly for him to have attempted to enter the Bullerdick office alone if there had been yeggmen within. Muey says that the money he had taken in during the week was In the safo and that the robbers secured all of it The yeggmen entered the sa

loon by prying open the two rear doors with a pick and two chisels. Just how they set off the charge placed in the safe Is a mystery. No Fuse Attached. No fuse was used and there is nothing to indicate that an electric wire was connected with the charge. It is believed the men made their escape in an automobile. They had sufficient.

about a. half hour after the explosion

before the police arrived at the Muey saloon. The safe was blown into small bits. Two sections of it went through the ceiling and roof. A small piece of iron was blown through the floor and another part of the safe penetrated the bar. A bottle half filled with nitroglycerine was found standing on the bar. That the concussion from the explosion did not explode the "soup" in this bottle is considered remarkable.
