One hundred and eighty-five thou sand of newly enfranchised Chicago women who went to the polls explod ed all theories on the woman In poll tics. They voted on partisan lines, helping to defeat eight of nine inde pendent candidates, falling to elect a single one of the nine candidates of their own sex and returning a Democratic majority to the city coun cil. Mayor Harrison's comprehensive subway proposition, which had first place on the little ballot, met with an overwhelming defeat. .The "wets" carried Springfield, 111., the capital of the state, which fur nished the hottest fight. The major ity was 3,500, and In this instance both men and women voted the "wet" ticket. Dow II. Drukker, Republican, was elected to congress from the. Seventh New Jersey district to succeed the late Representative Bremner, a Demo crat James A. Gallavin, Democrat, was elected to congress from the Twelfth district in Boston. Mayor Gerhard A. Badlng, who two years ago was the candidate through whom a fusion of the old parties drove Socialism out of office in Mil waukee, was re-elected on a non-partisan ticket by a majority of 6,000. This majority assures the election of the entire non-partisan ticket. The elections in the state of Wis consin were chiefly marked by fights on the license question, as the new non-partisan law prevents the appear ance of party candidates on munici pal tickets. The "drys" gained con siderable ground, but most of the gains were In country precincts, and the larger cities showed no change in policy. The "drys" made substantial gains In Illinois. Out of a total of 2,652 saloons Involved in the "wet" and "dry" clash, 1,100, as nearly as could be estimated, had been blotted out by men and women voters. There had been SO counties free of the saloon previous to the voting, and now the total Is 49 out of 102 counties In the commonwealth. Personal Robert P.

Weyerhauser, aged eighty, declared to be the richest man In the world, died af his mansion at Oak Knoll, Pasadena, CaL His wealth, mostly lumber Interests, 1 estimated to be between two hundred and three hundred million dollars. MAY EXTEND LIKE INTO THE THUMB SOME PROPHETS THINK ACTIVI TIES POINT TO D. U. R. EXTENSION. UTICA AND WARREN ACTIVE Run From Romeo to Detroit May Be Shortened If Line From LJtica to Washington Is Built. Utica, Mich. What is believed to foreshadow the extension of the D. U. R. lnterurban lines into the Thumb is the proposition made to the people of Warren and Utlca for the extension of the Harper avenue-Center-line car line from Centerline to Utica In return for the right of way. Active steps are now being taken both here and In Warren to secure the necessary land. Several farmers have offered to donate their share of the right of way and others have of fered to contribute money to buy out the obstinate ones. There are no strings attached to the proposition ex cept the right of way, and it Is be lieved here that a strip paralleling the Michigan Central tracks from Center line to Utlca will be offered the Inter urban company within 30 days. Although nothing has been said to that effect. It is generally believed here that if the line Is built to Utica, it will eventually be connected with the Romeo division, whose cars now reach Detroit over the Flint division, by way of Rochester and Royal Oak. From Utica to Washington, the point where the Romeo cars swing south ward toward Orion Junction and Roch ester, Is about 14 miles, and both Utica and Washington are almost di rectly north of the city hall In Detroit. In other words, by building the con necting link of 14 miles from Utica to Washington, the D. U. R. could eliminate the eight or ten mile "jog" westward to Rochester and Royal Oak and hut the running time of its Ro meo cars by nearly three-quarters of an hour. GEO. DROUGHTPLEADS GUILTY Port Huron Politician Admits Tamper ing With Ballots. Tort Huron, Mich. George F. Drought, former election inspector in the third precinct, Saturday admitted that he tampered with the ballots of Port Huron citizens cast at the mu nicipal primary in 1913, and was sen tenced to pay a fine of $500 or serve one year In the Detroit house of cor rection. He wrote his check for the amount. Drought accompanied by his attor neys walked into circuit court late In the afternoon and before Judge Tuck er, of Mt. Clemens, changed his plea of not guilty to that of guilty. No political event In years has so stirred the city as the sensation which was created when Drought, who for years has been a power in polltlca here, was arrested on a charge of tampering with the ballots. A fist fight preceded his arrest and the rev elations and accusations which fol lowed kept the pot boiling for several weeks. HOME TEAMS WIN DEBATES Visitors Defeated In Triangular Con test Friday Night. Olivet, Mich. Olivet's debating team defeated Hope college here Fri day night. 2 to 1, on the Olivet corner of the triangular debate between Hope, Olivet and Alma on the ques tion of governmental ownership of rail ways.

LETTER FROM THE STATE CAPITOL CUNNINGHAM'S REPORT SHOWS INCREASE IN DAILY WAGES. GOOD WORD FOR THE MILITIA Michigan National Guard Comes In for Good Word In Report of National War Depart ment. By Gurd M. Hayes. Lansing, Mich. During 1913 there was an Increase of $43,712.03 in the dally wages paid to all factory em ployes In Michigan, over the previous year, according to statistics compiled by Labor Commissioner James Cun ningham.

Michigan's National Guard comes In for a good word in the annual report of the war department, just issued, showing the condition of the National Guard of the country. By reason of the system of rifle practice which Ma jor M. J. Phillips of Owosso, inspector of small arms practice, has establish ed, this state is mentioned as one of the three In which rifle practice has been conducted along lines which the war department emphatically ap proves. The report states that In West Vir ginia, 97 per cent of the guard was given training in shooting the rifle during 1914, in Michigan 88' per cent and in Delaware 83 per cent. These are said to be the only three states which have followed a course intended to promote rifle practice while in oth er states expending equally as much money the only benefit achieved has been that of preparing a team of ex perts to represent the state at na tional matches, which it is declared, is far behind in value to the nation. the system of these three states. Both 1913 and in 1914, on the recom mendation of Major Phillips, every man In every oompany was given an opportunity to secure training in shooting the rifle, In fact the plan which was adopted by Major Phillips has led to recognition of him as one of the most progressive and thorough leaders in the country in matters per taining to field efficiency of the guard. Gen. Kirk has approved of similar plans which the Owosso man recom mended for this year, and in addition some new stunts will be carried out which are believed to be equally as Important changes in the old order of things which were placod in effect two years ago. It is expected that at the close of this season every man who carries a rifle will have had practical training In handling and shooting high power rifles and the summer's work along this line promises to at tract wide attention. The annual inspection of the Michi gan National Guard by Capt. R. O. Itagsdale, of the U. S. army, repre senting the war department, la being started this week, and he will visit every company In the state before May 22. A satisfactory showing was made by the Michigan Guardsmen last year but an effort Is being made to better the record this year. The col onels commanding the three regiments have each written to the captains of their respective commands urging them to make a special effort to pass a' creditable Inspection, and much in terest has been aroused. The state will be represented at the Inspections by Adjutant General Maj. R. C. Vandercock, and a report show ing the condition of each company will be made to the 6tate military board at the conclusion of the tour of inspection. Efforts put forth by the forestry de partment of M. A. C. toward awaken ing an Interest in reforestation have led this spring to a wave of tree planting throughout the state. Orders for trees placed with the college for the present planting season indicate that from 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 trees will be set out in the state during the nevt few months. These trees will be planted to serve as windbreaks, and plantations which will help supply fu ture generations with timber. It has become apparent also that public schools in Michigan have be come cognizant of the growing need for reforestation. School authorities, to the number of a score or more a day, have been writing to M. A. C. for baby trees to plant on Arbor day. The college has something like 80,000 such trees for distribution to the schools. The seedlings are given away free, the only stipulation being that the school authorities provide the college with a diagram of the school grounds, showing buildings and spots where It is proposed to do the planting on Arbor day. Professor Sanford, acting head of the forestry department, has estimat ed that more progress In reforesta tion was made in Michigan In 1913-14 than during the 10 years previous. Up till 1913 there had been only 130 plantations set out, while in 1913-14, 210 plantations have been arranged for. Lawton T. Hemans, chairman of the state railroad commission, has asked the Michigan United Traction Co. to furnish free transportation to Sheriff Barnes of Ingham county and his dep uties. He has taken this step to pre vent rowdyism on the lnterurban lines when the local option law goes into effect May 1. It is the plan of the commissioner to have the lnterurban well policed. When Ingham county was "dry" two years ago, the commis sioner states, the cars were filled with drunks nearly every night, fights were a common thing and women passen gers were constantly in danger. Shiawassee county, just north of Ingham, is also wet. The United Traction road covers all four of these counties and the commissioner de sires to have the line paroled from Jackson to Saginaw. Cichigan's campaign against hog cholera, the disease which is causing a loss of more than a millian dollars annually to state breeders, has been brought to a halt by the tielng up of M. A. C. funds. The college authori ties had expected to be able this month to join with agents of the fed eral government in a definite move ment to stamp out the cholera, but until relief from present difficulties is afforded, it la said but little can be done to check the ravages of the dis ease. Secretary of State Martindale re ceived a money order for $1.50 from a Grand Rapids mpn recently and the money will be turned into the "con science fund" of the state treasury. It appears from the letter written to the state department that the Grand Rap ids man purchased a second hand mo tor truck last year and operate the machine under the license issued to the original owner instead of securing a new license as required by law. He says that his conscience has troubled him and he wishes to reimburse the state. Secretary Martindale will not divulge the name of the writer. The supreme court affirmed the de cision of the industrial accident board in the case of Mrs. Lydla Rayner, of Grand Rapids vs. the Sllgh Furniture company and the woman will receive $1,866 compensation. Payner was em ployed by the Sligh company and was running to punch the time clock when he collided with another workman and sustained lajurles resulting In his death. The company refused pay ment on the ground that Rayuer was not performing his regular duty when he was running to punch the clock. Wheat did not suffer much damage last month according to the state crop bulletin Issued by Secretary of State Martindale, as 389 correspondents re port that no damage was done, while 159 say that wheat suffered some dam age during XIarch. Many correspon dents report serious damage to peach buds by frost. 13 rsr- a BSD .
