As a result of to-day's election, Stark county stays in the "wet" column by a majority of 4,780, by the official returns. The "drys" did not poll the expected large majorities in the country precincts, while cities gave a big "wet" vote. Canton, the county seat, gave a "wet" majority of 2.6S7; Massillon, the second city in size, a "wet" majority of 1,754, while Alliance voted "dry" by 170.

The fight was made largely on he taxation question. There are 263 saloons and Ave breweries in the county. The election was without disorder in any precinct. Superintendent Marsh, of the, Anti-Saloon league, says the "dry" forces worked at a disadvantage because it is the season when farmers are busy, and the "dry" forces did not have time enough to work a campaign of "We'll try it again in three years," he said. MASSILLON, July 10.

The total vote cast here on local option was The Drys failed to carry a precinct in the city. Massillon, Genoa and itich-vllle, precincts of Perry township, in which this city is located, gave the wets a majority of 65.

WASHTXTfiTn-NT T1tt in cottonahd woolen goods and cheap hosiery and women's gloves promise to be among' the most stubbornly-fought questions In the congressional conference on the tariff bill. At least that Is the way things appeared at the close of the first day's session. There was a great deal of speculation to-day, among leaders in Congress who are not parties to the' conference as to what will be done with these items. Many members expressed the opinion that the House wouli via cotton and wool, and the Senate on gloves and hosiery. If this should be the outcome it is predicted that vigorous protests would be heard in both the Senate and House from advocates of downward revision.

Some members went so far as to say that an effort would be made to reject the conference reports in the event of "such a glaring: instance of upward revision." The effect of amendments to the cotton and woolen schedules in the House was a reduction of the existing: duties. The Senate restored thesa hv 1poi On the other hand, the House advanced the rates on hosiery and women's gloves far above the duties fixed by the Ding-ley law, and the Senate declined to accept the Increases. Invasions Not Forgotten. The formidable invasions of the capitol by women wearers and women makers of hosiery during the consideration of the glove and hosiery schedule is not forgotten. The former protested against the higher duties on the ground that they would result in increased cost the wearers.

"Women employes of hosiery factories in Pennsylvania and certain Southern States urged that the manufacturers should be given an additional protection to prevent the business from being destroyed In this country. Both delegations presented arguments of a forceful character." The employes were successful in the House and the wearers in the Senate. Two sessions of the conferees were held lO-Bav.

A recess was taken for luncheon, lasting until 2:30 o'clock, when the afternoon session was begun. It was agreed that these hours shall continue through the conference. The afternoon session' lasted until nearly 6 o'clock, when an adjournment was taken until 10 a. m. Monday.

No hour has been fixed for the adjournment of the afternoon sessions, nor has the question of evening sessions been determined. All of the conferees were present today except Senator Cullom, who is not in the city. It Is expected that his place in the conference will be filled much of the time by Senator Smoot. Work on Two Schedules. Amendments -were considered to-day in their numerical order.

When the session closed for the day the conferees had passed through the chemical and earthenware schedules, and more than half way through the metal schedule. All of the amendments In these schedules, however, were not settled. Nevertheless, the conferees representing both branches of Congress expressed satisfaction with the progress made. The adjustment of the differences between the House and Senate will not prove so serious a task as is indicated by the large number of amendments. More than 200 of the amendments consist of changing the phrase "as provided by section one and two of this act" to read "as provided by this section." These changes were made necessary by the action of the Senate in consolidating the dutiable and free lists and making the maximum and minimum provision the CONTINUED ON PAGE SIX.

Poor Old New York Is Frazzle" By Outraged English "Third Degree" on Criminals Calls for Sad Reflections by London Newspaper. to the Pittsburgh post. LONDON.

July 10. The Spectator" this week is moved to devote two columns of sad reflections and miid indignation over the third degree as administered by the New York police department. It' goes into the history of torture for the purpose of extracting a confession, beginning with the Romans. It dilates on the awful cruelties of the dungeons of Nuremburg, ana admits with shame that even Englishman practiced torture upon witches in the; fourteenth century. Its chief purpose is to demonstrate the worthless-ness of all admissions or statements obtained by such means.

"Torture never did, and never can, prove anything," says the "Spectator." It then a case In this country where a man confessed to a murder ot which he was Innccent in order to escape the mental agony of the third degree questioning. He was executed; the man's Innocence was established after his death. Referring to the Slgel murder ease in New York, the "Spectator" says it considerably outruns the vices of reconstructing the crime in France, which is only the newest kind of way of doing the oldest kind of wrong, and hopes this experience will cause every one to see that it is removed many more than three degrees from" usefulness and decency. 3 Dozen Eggs, Half Pie, Quart Ice Cream, Four Bottles Beer His Meal On a Wager of $5, "Hungry Miller Does Stunt at Bloomsburg.

"American patriotism is egotism." "Money is the American god." "New York city is big, but it is not great." As Lochinvar out of the West comes Rt. Rev. Dr. Charles D. Williams, bishop of Michigan, to hurl from the pulpit of St.

Bartholomew's Church, an exclusive brand of patriotism, of which these utterances are the synopsis. In Plainfleld, whither the bishop had fled to while away the interim between the first and second of a series of three sermons that he is to deliver in the Protestant Espiscopal church on Madison avenue, he did not hesitate, when interviewed, to emphasize, rather than retract, his previously opinions. Money the Only Thought. "America is materialistic, indiidialt.st!c and inhuman," declared Dr. Williams, and then paused, not for breath, but for adjectives.

"Dut we are admittedly patriotic," it was protested. "How, then, can we be so barely material?" "American patriotism!" ejaculated the bishop, "our motto is too much: 'Our country, may he be in the right, but our country rluht or wrong. "All that we think of here is money, continued Dr. "No other coua-liy in the world worships mor.iy the way we do. Our Congress is rm by th and Senator Aldrirh, The poor man has not a chance.

States may have something: to do with our National attitude, but I am of the opinion that it Is more fundamental. "We are inhuman." and here th bishop's voice took a deeper tone. "Not another nation holds human life as lightly as we do. In Pittsburgh last year l.fr.M) human bodies were maimed or killed by accidents, from which they should have been guarded. Our laws for the protection of human life are neither properly marie nor properly enforced.

"On laws protecting women and children we rank with one other nation. That nation is We sit with our hands folded and watch the slaughter of the innocents." "No city is great that is not contributing to the spiritual uplift of the world," said the bishop. "This city Is a Jungle of individual interests devoid of united ideal."

I do know Harry Davis and what he stands for in he theatrical world.
