MAINE REPUBLICANS
ARE GIVEN A JOLT
Party Is Victorious
But Plurality Shows
Big Cut. .
Portland, Me. Sept - 11.—In the
itate election In Maine yeaterday the
Republicans met with severe reveries,
but succeeded In electing the major
part of their ticket by generally re
duced majorities. The Sturls law and
the consequent rigid application of the
prohibition atatutea are. blamed by the
Republican* for their dlaaater.
The victory of the Republican party
Is shown In these figures:
Governor Cobb’s vote, S(,388: Davie
(Democrat), *#,701; Cobb'a plurality,
7,098.
In the paat four year* the Republi
cans have lost 14,480 votes.
May Aak a Recount,
in the Second congressional district,
where the fight wga on between Con
gressman Littlefield (Republican) and
Daniel J. McOllllcuddy (Democrat), the
vote Is: Llttlefleld, 17,280; McOllllcud
dy. 16,14*. In four years the Republl-
rans have .lost In this district 4,458
votes.
Organized labor claims a big moral
victory In the reduction of Llttlefleld'*
plurality. It ha* fought hard, under
the leadership of President Samuel
Hampers. Owing to the closeness of
the vote between Llttlefleld and Mc-
Ollllcuddy, It Is now believed that the
latter will ask for a recount.
The vote this year Is the smallest
plurality that the Republicans have
ever polled since they recaptured the
state from the fuatonlete and Green-
hackers In 1882. Governor Robte that
year led his opponent placed by 8,5(0
voles.
Democrats Win Fights.
The Democrats have won their local
lights in Portland, where Pennell 1*
elected sheriff, and In the cities and
towns of Bath, Blddeford, Bangor,
Lewiston, Rockland, Augusta, Auburn,
Brewml, Saco. South Portland, West
Brook. Ellsworth, Belfast Watervllle
and Old Town.
Rockland, the home city of Governor
Cobb, gave a plurality of 17 votes to
hi" Democratic opponent, while Con
gressman Llttlefleld, also a resident of
Rockland, carried the city by only 12
votes Two year* ago hie plurality
*»• 239.
Watervllle, the home of Cyrua W.
“•'is, Democratic candidate for gov-
fP'or, gave him a plurality of more
’han .no over Cobb, Republican.

CAUSESJIG SUIT
Charges Against Justice of
the Peace Virgil-
Jones.
CZAR'S PRISONERS
REVOLT WIEN GIRL
IN SHOTTO DEATH
Two Young Jewish Women
Sentenced To Be
Executed.
A suit which will make some peaceful
Justices alt up and take notice, even
If It does not return to the petitioner
his >-months-old calf, the cause of the
trouble, was Med la the superior court
Monday by Arthur Payton against Vir
gil Jones, Justice of the peace for the
four hundred ant) sixty-ninth district.
Payton asks 21,000 damages for the al
leged Issuance of warrants at the In
stance of R. K. Echols, who claimed the
calf, for the sole pupose of making
costs for the Justice.
Payton charges that In addition to
being guilty of official misconduct In
Issuing possessory warrant* for the
calf, without first making proper In
vestigation, Justice Jones discriminated
against him. He alleges that when he
■wore before the Justice that the calf
wns his property n warrant for per
jury, sworn out by Echols, was served
on him, but that when he wished to
have a warrant served on Echols for
the same offense Justice Jones, re
fused to have It served.
The petitioner claims that C. H. Mc
Crary, an official of Justice Jones'
court, coerced him Into agn
settle the case by turning over the
calf to Echols. This, he says, he did.
When hls counsel learned how he had
been treated Payton alleges that the
attorney Instituted trover and ball pro
ceedings against McCrary on August
14.
In retaliation Payton says that Me
Crary, Instigated by Jones, swore out
a warrant before Justice Cook charg
ing him with perjury. The petitioner
says that after he had been arrested
and sent to Jail he refused to be tried
before Justice Cook, and, on being
taken before Justice Orr, wae dis
charged.
Payton claims that, while the dock
ets of Jones’ court show that the pros
ecutors paid the costs, hls calf has
been taken from him and never re
turned, and that the whole proceedings
were simply for the purpose of extort-
froi
Ing fees from him,

Llttlefleld.
"We fought against terrible odds.
Corporate Interests flooded the district
with money. Speaker Cannon, Secre
tary Taft and Senator Lodge were
rushed to Littlefield's assistance and a
personal appeal from President Roose
velt seeking hls re-election was sent
into the district. Yet, In spite of such
heroic methods, Littlefield’s majority
was reduced by 4,000 or more votes.”

St. Petersburg, Sept. 11.—One Jew
ish girl ha* been sentenced to be
hanged by a court-martial and another
girl will be executed by Ruselan sol
diers.
As a result of the shooting to death
of Mile. Semonova, a pretty and en
thusiastic student, In the central de
tention prison of St. Petersburg, there
was a revolt today among the other
prisoners.
Mile. Semonova, who had been ar
rested on suspicion of being a member
of the terrorists, merely showed herself
at the window of her cell overlooking
the court yard, when she wat shot down
by sentries.
The cold-blooded murder Infuriated
the other prisoners, who rose In a body
and expelled the wardens. Then they
barricaded the prison and laid the
young girl out upon an Impromptt
bier In the central corridor, refustaf
to deliver It to the authorities, declar
Ing they would rather die than sur
render It.
Troops were summoned by the au
thorities, alarmed at the determined
stand of the prisoners and fearing
bloodshed, temporized and sent for the
brother of the dend girl. To him the
prisoners delivered over Mile. Semo
nova’* body.
Grand Duke Nicholas, after Invest!
gating the affair, ordered the dismissal
of the officers of the guard, which was
drawn from the unpopqjar Semlnovsky
regiment.
Mile. 8emonova was a medical etu
dent and was trying to divide wltl
other prisoners some sugar she had
surreptitiously obtained, when she was
executed.

no chance to escape when the chauf
feur sounded the horn, for the car was
then upon them. They were hurled
Into the gutter.
Spectators say that the chauffeur
put on more speed and the auto dis
appeared In the direction ot Jamaica
without the occupanta looking back.

chine and hurried to a hospital. He,
died half an hour later.

Idea, however, that the committee,
which l» made up ot governora ot
states, supreme Judges, high ecclesi

resentatives of great labor bodies, was
to make him the secretary of Its cam
paign. The responsibility entailed In
this office Is nlone great enough for
many men of no common nblltty, but
the committee, after careful considera

Nicholas Longworth as Just the men
for the place. Hls previous record In

public affair* of hls city, coupled with
hls strong popularity, were the points
that won for him this hls latest honor
