, SHARP RETORT BY GAYNOR.
Portland, Me., Sept. 10. The political
overturn in yesterday's Maine state elec
tion, in which the Republicans won back
the governorship and secured three of
the four congressmen and a sufficient
majority on a joint ballot in the legis
lature to assure the election of a Re
publican United States senator, became
jmore apparent to-day. William T.
jHaines, Republican, was elected governor
by a plurality of 3,577 over Governor
I Frederick W. Plaisted, Democrat.
, The vote, with 28 small towns miss
ling, was as follows:
Haines, Republican...... 70,072 '
i Plaisted, Democrat. . Gfl,515
I The new state Senate will be made tin
of 22 Republicans and eight Democrats,
with one district missing. The House
will be composed of 72 Republicans and
70. Democrats, with nine districts miss
ing. '
i J he congressmen elected are:
First district Asher C. Hinds of Port-
llfind, Republican.
, Second district D. J. McGillienddy
j of Lewiston, Democrat.
' Third district Forrest Goodwin of
Skowhegan. Republican.
Fourth district Frank E. Guernsey of
IDover, Republican. .
' Hinds; McGillienddy and Guernsey were
ire-elected. .
The Republicans - claim to have won
their victory for the heud of the ticket
by their attack upon the administration
of Governor Pliyisted. They declined
to discuss national questions as the
party leaders, many of whom are of
Progressive sympathies, postponed anv
expression of a sentiment , in favor of
Roose-elt until after election. Some of
them will take the Rtumn within a

J Progressives to Split Off.
' The Progressive element of the Re-
irublicana wag in full control of party
jm'achinery, but ' with the approval of
j('ol. Roosevelt, a split was postponed
juiitil after yesterday's struggle. Many
sf the leading state speakers in the cam
paign, which ended with the election
!yesterday, announced last night that
H hey were no longer in the Republican
tanks, but would take the stump imme
liately'for Colonel Roosevelt for presi

The Republican organization was able
Eo bring out a greater vote for Haines
n yesterday's contest than was given
(tor Fernald, the party candidate who
was defeated two years ago, while the
Democratic rote for Plaisted showed a
(falling off from that of 1910.,

New ; York, Sept. ,10. Mayor Gaynor

of the invitation to appear to-day be
fore the aldermanic committee which
is inquiring into the police department
In a caustic letter to Alderman II. II.
Curran, chairman of the committee, the
mayor - declined "to appear unless sub
poenaed or notified to do so, adding that
lie could not "enter into any petty and
partisan inquiry" and asserting that in
his efforts to lift government up he had
never allied himself "with any one who
was npt himself above reproach."
I do not see how i can expect the
police to he honest when they see on
every hand that even the aldermen of
the , citv are taking graft personally,
or enabling corrupt go-betweens to do
so, declared Mayor Goynor.
, The. letter followed remards said to
have been made this afternoon by Al
derman Curran regarding the mayor's
"honor" after the latter sent word to
the waiting committee that he did not
care to go before them to-day, as had
been arranged, and said that he would
prefer to appear before the committee
to-morrow. His honor was to have ap
peared to-day by invitation but it. is
stated to-night that if ' he fails to pre
sent himself to-morrow, he will ge sub
poenaed.
Mayor Gaynor's letter to Alderman
Cuiran Was in response to one from
Mr. Curran under date of September 3,
in which the mayor was invited to ap
pear before the comittee. The mayor's
answer to-day follows in part:
"I have called attention to the miser
able grafting carried on by tbe members
of the board of aldermen in respect to
the licensing of news stands, and the
like, throughout the city. By an ordi
nance' of your board the bureau of li
censes cannot grant these licenses ex
cept on a certificate of approval of the
alderman of the district in which the
licence is granted. I have now for more
than two years been calling the atten-
uon or tne dorm ot aldermen to caes
where aldermen refused to' grant thee
permits unless the licensee pays heavi
ly for them. Sum of $."0O and' $250 are
commonly paid, aiid there are about
7.000 of the licensed stands. The meth
od by which this is done is that the al
dermen in plane, of dealing with the li
censee personally and handing the cer
tificate over . to. him personally, as the
law and official duty requires,, refers
such license to a go-between, who holds
it and refuses to deliver it to the li
censee until it is paid for.
"1 have no doubt that the aldermen
who do this Bhare in the extortion mon
ey. 1 do not see how I can expect the
police to bo honest when they see on j
every hand that even, the aldermen of
the city are taking graft persona 11
or enaiuing corrupt go-betweens , t
so. l cannot i v mvseif with ru i
any effort to investigate ' the conduc
of any official, or any department of
tne city government. My attention
has aha beenValled to the fact that you
have, of late several times published
statements with regards to your visits
to this office, which are very far from
ueing truthlur
'If the committee wants any fact
of me, let it subpoenal nie or notify
me to attend, and 1 will do so and give
such facts. Beyond that I shall not

FRANCE THE WINNER.
Captured World's Aviation Championship
at Chicago Yesterday,
Chicago, Sept. 10. France won yester.
day the world s aviation championship.
Jules Vedrines, champion of France,
driving a Deperdussin monoplane, took
from America the James Gordon Bennett
silver trophy without a contest. Not an
American aeroplane rose from the ground
in defense of the cup, won by this
country from England last year. Del
loyd Thompson, the only American avia
tor, who had withdrawn from the race
up to the last hour, took a final glimpse
at Vedrines' record and walked off the
field. - ..."-1 ; :: .
Vedrines' time for completing the 124.8
miles over, the 4.14-mile course was one
hour. 10 minutes and H3.8 seconds. His
average time was 105.5 miles an hour.
His only competitors were two French
men, Maurice Prevost, also in a Deper
dussin, who made the course in one hour
13 minutes and 10.82 seconds, and Andre
Fey, in a llanriot monoplune,' who came
down alter .making 23 of the 30 laps
of the course, because of engine trou
ble. Vedrines started before any of his
competitors were out and then ; rested
in his hangar while the American con
testants withdrew.
The only semblance, of a race came
hours after Vedrines had alighted, when
Prey and I'rovost ascended. Frey was
soon overtaken by Provost, who started
two minutes later. At the 14th lap Pro
vost hud left Frey far behind snd at
tlmt time. Was only 32 second. behind
the time made by Vedrines, While
steadily outdistancing Frey, he lost on
the French champion's time until at the
Z.lrd lap he was 73 seconds behind e
drines.' The Aero Club America made everv
possible effort to defend the cup," said
Major Reber, chairman of the contest
committee of the Aero Club of America.
"We - sent letters to every aeroplane
builder in the country offering flO.OOO
tor every machine that would attain
something like 100 miles an hour. But
we have not a maehine that could come
within 40 minutes of winning the race.
There was not a ghost of chance from
the start."
Harry L.' Downing, Aged 13, Lost His
Life at Plymouth, N. H.,
Plymouth, N. H., Sept. 10. Harry L.
Downing, the 13-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Fred S. Downing, was drowned
yesterday afternoon while in swimming
with a party of boys in the waters of
Baker's river, about a half mile above
the town. Young Downing was a re
markably good swimmer for one of his
years, and was not missed from among
the other youngsters.
A youth from a bridge nearby, and
who had been noticing the swimmers,
called their attention to the fact that
someone had been under water for some
time. A quick investigation found the
Downing lad near the bottom of the
river pressed tightly to a log. It was
impossible for the boys to reach their
comrade even with the . assistance of
poles, and. an alarm was given to Borne
larger boys in swimming nearby.
The body was secured by Raymond
Haley after the unfortunate lad hai
been under water for some fifteen or
twenty minutes. The body was rushed
to the FJmily Balch Cottage hospital,
but all attempts at reviving were futile.
, The boy was a bright, cheery little
fellow, popular among : bis playmates,
and was a favorite among all his ac
quaintances. He' was an attendant at
the grammar school and would have en
tered it again upon its opening- to-day.

A Tailor Shop Burned Out and the Cause
. Is Not Known.
Winooski. Sept. 10. Fire in the old
Baxter block at 3 o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon gutted the tailor shop 'ot M.
Goldberg and damaged the apartments
over tne store, causing a loss of neai
Iv $4,000, partly covered by insurance.
The origin of the fire was probably due
to gasoline used in cleaning a coat iu
the tailor . shop. Mrs. , Goldberg, who
was in charge of, the store while her
husband was at Fort Ethan Alter, bad
just finished cleaning a coat and had
perhaps hung it too close to the fire.
or a match lying on the floor, might have
been ignited. '
Those noticing the nre called to Mrs.
Goldberg, Who was upstairs, nnd she
found it impossible to enter tbe store
as the flames had gained such bead-
way. A few minutes later, the front,
windows were blown out and the store
looked like a furnace. The flames w-cre
shooting higher, than , the building be
fore the fire department arrived. The
firemen did excellent work ' in prevent
ing the spread of the fire to the store of
J. L. J)evino next door. In 20 minutes
they had the fire under control.
" The flames had worked through the
partitions to the rooms above the store
occupied by Mr. Goldberg. There the
greater damage was done by' smoke and
water. The partitions in all the rooms
were torn out in places so water could
reach the flames. Jlr. Devinos lew
elry store was chiefly damaged by wa
ter and smoke. - He estimated his' loss
at more than $1,000, upon which he
carried $800 insurance in the Hickok
agency. .On his household goods he had
insurance and the loss is consid
erably more than this amount.

village, is owned by Jnle Mungeon, who
estimates nis joss at not less than $2,

LOWER GRADES CROWDED 4
- WITH CHILDREN
Although the First Day's Registration
Was Somewhat Less Than One
Year Ago Total Was 3,422. ,
The first day's registration in the
Barre public schools was 2,422, accord-
ng to figures compiled bv Sunt. Roscoa
to-day, the number being slightly less
than one year ago. This decrease is
partially accounted for by the failure of
a number of high school students to re
turn at the opening of the school year.
The primary and lower grades are crowd
ed, this condition being especially no
ticeable in the northern end of the citv,
at Brook street and the ward five build
ing. For instance, in one room at the
former building there are 67 pupils for
one teacher.

milch pleased with the manner in which
