Big Cut.
Portland, Me, Sept. It—In the
itate election In Maine yeaterday the
Republlcana met with eevere reverse*,
but succeeded In electing the major
part ot their ticket by generally re
duced majorities. The Sturts law and
the consequent rigid application ot the
prohibition statutes are blamed by the
Republicans for their disaster.
The victory of the Republican party
Is shown In these llgures:
Governor Cobb's vote. 88,389: Davis
(Democrat), 88,701: Cobb'a plurality,
7.09*.
In the past four years the Republi
cans have loet 14,480 vote*.

gressman Littlefield (Republican) and
Daniel J. McGIlllcuddy (Democrat), the
vote Is: Littlefield,'17.280: McOilllcud-
dy, 16,144. In four years the Republi
cans have lost In this district 4,45*
votes.
organised labor claim* a big moral
victory In the reduction of Littlefield's
plurality. It haa fought hard, under
the leadership of President Samuel
(Jumpers. Owing to the elosenesa of
the vote between Littlefield and Mc-
Gllllcuddy, It la now believed that the
latter will ask for a recount.
The vote thla year la the smallest
plurality that the Republican* have
ever polled since they recaptured the
state from the fuslonlsts and Green-
backer* In 1881. Governor Roble that
year led his opponent placed by 8,880
vote*.

fights in Portland, where Pennell I*
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
Ms Democratic opponent, while Con
gressman Littlefield, also a resident of
Bockland, carried the city by only 11
votes. Two years ago his plurality
was 230.

LITTLE CALF
CAUSES BIG SUIT
Charges Against Justice of
the -Peace Virgil
Jones'. -
CZAR'S PRISONERS
REVOLT WREN GIRL
IN SHOTTO DEATH
Two Young Jewish Women
Sentenced To Be
Executed.
A suit which will make some peaceful
justices sit up and take notice, even
If It does not return to the petitioner
his S-months-otd calf, the cause of the
trouble, was filed In the superior court
Monday by Arthur Payton against Vlr
gll Jones, justice of the peace for the
four hundred and sixty-ninth district.
Payton asks 11,000 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 warrants for the
calf, without flrst making proper In
vestigation, Justice Jones discriminated
against him. He alleges that when he
swore before the Justice that the calf
was his property a 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 agreeing to
settle the case by turning over the
calf to Echols. This, he says, he did.
When his counsel learned how he had
been treated Payton alleges that the
attorney Instituted trover and ball pro
ceedings ngalnst McCrary on August
14.
In retaliation Payton says that Mc
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, nnd, on being
taken before Justice Orr, was dls
charged.
Payton claims that, while the dock,
ets of Jones' court show that the pro*,
ecutors paid the costs, his calf has
been taken from him and never re
turned, and that the whole proceedings
were simply for the purpose of extort
ing fees from him.
$40 for Flashing Pistol.
Special to The Georgian.
Batnbrldge, Qa., Sept. 11.—The most
Interesting case to come up In city
court here Saturday was that of Jim
Yeates, charged with pointing a pistol
at W. B. Ivey. The Jury returned a
verdict of guilty, with rf recommenda
tion, and the judge fined Teates »1
and coats, which amounted to <40.
to the legislature. The Industrial cen-.
ters administered a stinging rebuke to
Littlefield.
"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 n
personal appeal from President Roose-
velt seeking hi* re-election was sent
Into the district. Yet, In spite of such
heroic methods, Littlefield's majority
wo* reduced by 4,000 or more votes."

COUNTY COPS TO KICK

IN THE GEORGIAN
The county pollre force will know Its
fate Wednesday afternoon. A meeting
of the county commissioner* ha* been
called by Chairman Hubert L. Cul
berson for Y o'clock In the afternoon
of that day to decide upon the loca
tions of the three camps, at which the
men will make their headquarters, and
to formulate rulea for th* government
of the force.
Each of the twelve old men and (he
twenly-four new regular men has heen

purpose of receiving Instructions re
garding the rulea which are to govern
them, their hours of servlre and any
thing else which th. member* of the
board may have to tell them.
chairmen E. V. Carter, of the roads
and bridges committee of the commis
sion, said Tuesday morning that noth
ing definite had been done toward lo
cating the camps or providing rules for
the government of the force.
Although there may be no kicking,
'* a sure thing that If the men have
to spend practically all of th.lr time
at the three station* a lot of dlasatls-
factlnn will result. All of the men.
old and new, who have been heard to
express an opinion have said that they
are willing to be on duty and subject
to call at any and all times, but most
of them will balk when It comes to
spending twenly-four hours a day In
the saddle and In camp away from
their families.
Every member of the present force
has a telephone and can be located
within a few minute* by the chief,
and every one of the new men who
has expressed himself has made known
his willingness to pay for a telephone If
he does not have to spend his time In
barracks.
A Georgian reporter has talked to
many cltlsens from different parts of
the county, and with but few excep
tions they have said that they would
prefer to see th* men stationed at their
homes when off duty than for them to
be mobilised in three camp*. It Is
thought that much more efficient ser
vice can be- obtained In that way, as
the men are well scattered over the
county.
