Repeal Vote Holds a Lead of More Than 2 to 1 in Thirty-Two States---Women's Ballots Are Studied. NEW YORK, 'April appears to be overcoming the threat to the state's dry prestige in the nationwide prohibition poll being conducted by the Literary Digest. The returns a week ago, giving prohibition a margin of only ninety-eight votes, created wide comment, but the count this week shows the vote for retention of prohibition leading by 352 votes. The vote: For prohibition, for repeal, 36,076. MISSOURI STILL VOTES WET.

The repeal vote continues to hold a commanding lead in Missouri, the count this week being: For prohibition, for repeal, 84,010. Thirty-two states, representing a combined population of more than 85 million, are voting from 2 to 1 to 6 to for repeal with more than 4 million ballots tabulated for this week's edition of the magazine, which will be published tomorrow. Nine states with a total population 19 million register a dry of over ment of 40 per cent or more. Of these states Kansas alone gives a definite majority for continuance of the prohibition amendment, while North Carolina is almost dry. The wettest section of the United States as evidenced by the poll figures extends from the Mississippi River to the Atlantic Ocean above the MasonDixon line, with the dampest concentration in the group of states of New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island.

"DRY BELT" IN THE VOTE. driest sector is the belt of The twelve states extending from Texas and Oklahoma to the Atlantic Ocean, Kentucky and Virginia and including excepting Florida.

The dry vote shows a seventh consecutive gain during the poll, rising 15.85 per cent of the total vote of the first week's returns. WOMEN'S VOTE IS CHECKED.

As an answer to charges the poll does not represent the women of the nation, the Literary Digest tomorrow will publish returns of a special referendum of all registered voters of Portland. which was selected because it was one of the oldest prohibition centers in the country. The canvass was so arranged that the ballots returned by women voters could be distinguished from those returned by men voters and still remain secret, ballots. Ballots totaling 14,598 were mailed to men and 11.958 ballots were mailed to women, the total of which constic tuted entire registered electorate of the city. Of 3,981 replies returned by men 970, or 24.36 per cent, voted dry, and 3.011, or 75.64 per cent, voted wet.

Of the 11,958 ballots mailed to the women, 1,126, or 38.45 per cent, voted for continuance of the prohibiItion amendment, and 1,802, or 61.55 per cent, voted for repeal. Not including the Portland votes, the state of Maine balloted 7,826 for continuance and 17,863, or 69.54 per (cent, for repeal. AIMEE MAY SELL HER TEMPLE.

One Group Favors Charles G. Haake, the Other Is for Dr. L. C. Johnson--May Take It to Shannon.

Sharp differences have broken out in the throne room of the "rabbit" faction of the Democratic organization over who shall be slated for sheriff this time. Dr. L. C. Johnson, director of the fire department, who sits close to the right hand of Joe Shannon, the faction's chieftain, would like the sheriff's honor to fall to Charles G.

Haake, vice-president of the Main Street Bank. Peter J. Kelly, one of the guiding spirits of "rabbitdom." who is just as close to Shannon. if not closer than Johnson, favors William E. Sullivan, now director of welfare.

Many of the older members of the faction with Kelly argue that Mr. Haake's genealogy as a "rabbit" is not near so seasoned in service as that of Mr. Sullivan, who long has battled in that cause. Due to the failure of one side to convince the cther, it is now said the differences probably will be presented to Shannon, who in addition to looking after the welfare of his followers, is this district's representative in congress.

She recently became obsessed with the idea her husband was becoming insane and it would be better for them to die together, he explained.

The Climax Is in Elaborate Program at Art Institute, Where Memorial to Howard Vanderslice Is Dedicated. Arbor day was given recognition today all over the city by a Natureloving populace that fared forth with spade "to cleave the tough greensward." Interest in planting, both in public places and home yards, was a quickened by the George Washington bicentennial activity.

A cloudless sky and a warm sun added to the pleasure of outdoor ceremonies. Seventy-two young cherry trees tied with red, white and blue ribbons, with directions on a hatchet card, were planted by as many school children in home yards today. Little friends stood about as the proud owner spaded the ground and planted his tree. TO PUPILS OF 12 SCHOOLS. The George Washington bicentennial tree planting committee, of which Mrs.

H. H. McCluer, 620 Romany road, is chairman, gave the trees to pupils in these schools: Franklin, Jefferson, Lowell, Switzer, Hamilton, Karnes, Martin, Humboldt, Woodland, James, Clay and Garfield. Trees were planted in school yards and in parks all over the city by patriotic organizations and women's clubs. A city-wide program, beginning at 2:15 o'clock at the Kansas City Art Institute, commemorated Arbor day with speeches, choir singing, interpretative dancing and tableaux.

Mrs. Albert I. Beach, 45 East Fifty-fifth street, was in charge of arrangements.
