ALL STATES VOTING Large Cities of Three Dis- tricts Poll Heavy Anti Votes. The women of New York, Massa- chusetts and Pennsylvania asked for received an emphatic denial. These three great Atlantic sealLoard states have joined New Jersey in withholding from wom- en the suffrage they enjoy in some of the western states. The indicated majority against a woman suffrage amendment to the constitution in New York based on re- turns from more than two-thirds of the state, is 210,000. Massachusetts defeated the proposi- tion by a majority of 132,602 on a to- tal vote of 457,304. Reports from about one quarter of the state indicated that the vote in Pennsylvania was against suffrage by ~Turkish troops at Dedeaghatch, Bul- garia.

The proposition received ifs strongest support in the western portions of New York and Pennsylvania. Under the law five years must elapse before a suffrage amendment can be put to popular vote again in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, four vears in New York and two in Mas- sachusetts. National leaders of the suffrage cause declared today that they would now devote their efforts to the national congress and strive for a votes for women amendment to the fededal constitution. Leaders of the organizations op- posed to woman suffrage, which have made an active fight against the proposition, said that the result was no more than they axpected. Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge, president of the National Association Opposed to Wo- man Sufirage, who has been conduct- ing the fight from headquarters in New York, will leave immediately to organize the campaign in South Da- kota, Towa and West Virginia, where the proposition will be put to a test in 1916.

It is ex- pected that he will arrive in New York on Friday evening or early Saturday morning, To the parents of the priest the | letter was one of the most pleasant tidings they ever received, as they were in a state of mental anguish since his failure to arrive in New York two weeks ago and his failure to inform | them of his whereabouts.

NEW HAVEN ROAD SCORES ONE POINT Trial of Directors Resumed— Goodrich on Stand NO COMPETITIVE RATES Agreement of 1901 Between Naviga- tion Company and Railroad Exten- sively Gone Into in Investigation— Joy Line Deal. New York, Nov. 3.—The defense in ihe trial of the eleven former directors <f the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad under the Sherman anti-trust law apparently scored a point with one of the government's own witnesses when the trial was re- sumed today. They elicited from C. C. Goodrich, general manager of the Hartford and New York Tranportation company, a steamboat line, that when that line entered into an agreement with the New Haven in 1901 regulating its Lusiness and curtailing its service, “The agreement enabled each com- Pany to do business that was normally and naturally tributary to it at the time.” The government had previously sought to show through Goodrich that the line had been in a competitive rate war with the New Haven and that the agreement had been made to suppress this competition. The defense also elicited from the witness that prior to 1901 he had gone to see Martin A. Knapp, then chair- man of the interstate commerce com- mission, with the idea of making a cemplaint against the New Haven, but that instead of entertaining the com- plaint, Mr. Knapp suggested that “If you used a little common sense, you'd get along without pushing a complaint through us.” This suggestion, the witness said, led to a conference with the New Haven cfficials, which resulted in the 1901 agreement. Goodrich gave testimony Friday by which the government intended to show that the steamboat line of which he was gene: manager was quietly acquired by the New Haven in 1905 as one of the road's competitors. This was after the road and the steamboat | line had entered into a contract fix- ing rates and limiting the steamboat company’s earnings, which lasted for four years. Understanding Existed. Goodrich was recalled today and testified that prior to this contract (1901) there had been an understand- ( ing between the two companies where- | by the steamboat company withdrew its service at various Connecticut riv- er points and heyond Hartford. Dur- ing this period, the New Haven cut rates against him. he said, and this resulted, after he had complained, in the 1901 contract. Still more peoints were cut off from | the service after the 1901 agreement, | Goodrich said, the number reaching | more than a score. The full list in- cluded Bristol, Broadbrook, Burn- side, Canaan, Collinsville, Hazardville | Manchester, Melrose, New Britain, Plainville, Simsbury, Suffield and Thompsonville, Conn., Springfield, Mass., and other points in both states. Acquire Steamboat Properties. After the Hartford and New York Transportation company was taken over by the railroad other steamship lines or properties, the witness tes- tified were not put under its con- trol—the steamboats of the United States Transportation Co., a small line to Bridgeport. and several boais of the Old Colony Steamship linc. | The operation of the Maine Steam- ship company also was placed under the control of the Hartford line. H “Did you purchase the Joy line?”’ “No, that was taken over by the United States Transportation com- pany.” “Did you have anything to do with the financial transactions, “Not the slightest,” replicd Good- rich. “But you were general manager?’” “Yes “From whom did you get your in- structions? “From the president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford.” The witness was then turned over to Charles F. Choate, of the defense, for cross examination.

Bridgeport, Nov. 3.—John Martin, aged 27, a resident of this city, living on Stratford avenue, and but recently married, was the third victim of an explosion in the fulminate primer dry- ing room of the Union Metallic Cart- ridge company this morning. With both eyes said to have been blown out and his face, arms and chest horribly mangled, he is in a critical condition at the Bridgeport hospital. The cause of the explosion is not known though the work of drying primers is so hazardous as to cause each of the workers employed in the act to be isolated in strong cement units. Officials of the company have hegun an investigation as three men have been injured in the same room within as many weeks, IN STEAMBOAT WRECK Nine Bodies Recovered from | Santa Clara—Nine ‘ Missing.

First Officer Charles Tiessel, who reached safety in the last boat, had to swim half a mile. “We struck a shoal, the vessel swerved, and before we could right her she was fast aground on the spit,” said Tiessel. “The life-boats were lowered at once and Capt. Lofstedt was the last to go. The sea was moderating when 1 begun to come through the surf.” There were still eight or ten persons reported aboard the Santa Clara early today. The Santa Clara is a wooden ves- sel, owned by the North Pacific Steam- ship compary. She may be salvage. LBEE IS SUED. Two Stores Are Closed and He Is Said To Be Among the Missing, C. 8.

Blaze a Spectacular One. This fire was one of the most spec- tacular, us and dangerous with which the local fire department has had to deal with in some time and for awhile this morning it looked as though the entire block would go up in smoke. At 5:45 o'clock the jan- itor of the block went into the cel- lar and noticed not the slightest trace of smoke or fire. At 6:30 o’clock the tenants of the upper floors, many of morning meai, were terrified by a shout of firs, and on looking from | their rear windows saw dense clouds | of thick, black smoke, through which the lurid glow of the flames could be seen swirling upwards from the base- | ment.

Mr. Parsons at once resigned his position and today his official con- nection with the bureau ceased. Mr, Parsons has been special agent of the bureau sixteen years. He was first appointed by Commissioner Har- ry E. Back. Mr. Parsons said today that it was more than likely he would become connected with the American Federation of Labor as an organizer.

The clanging of the fire alarms, the shouts of the | men and the thick clouds of smoke | which poured out of the building into Church street, completely hiding the building from view, coupled with the | fact that hundreds of working wmen | were at that time proceeding along | the street en route to their daily labor, | all tended to make the affair a most | exciting one. | Women Carried Out. The flames apparently had gained material headway, for they were | shooting into the air from the rear | windows of the store as well as from | the cellar casements when the fire- | men arrived, and the entire block was filled with smoke.

Half a dozen | streams of water were poured into the | Adkins Prifiting company's store through the front and rear windows and other streams were directed in through the cellar windows. It was necessary for the firemen to use all their smoke helmets as it was impossi- ble for thosc who had to enter the store with hose to breatae without them. The construction of the block was such, it was later learned, as to prevent the most efficient use of the hose from the cellar windows. The entire celler is subdivided by parti- tions reaching to the ceiling and when a stream of water was poured in it it could go only as far as the wall. This was particularly harmful in the front as the walls prevented the water from penetrating into the celler where the fire was. A special nozzle with a revolving tip to spread the water in all directions was used to good advantage. Floor Collapses. It was evident that the fire started in the cellar near the east wall and about midway of the store as it was | there that the flames burned the tiercest.

A body of Villa infantry, estimated to be between 1,000 and 1,500 men, marched through Gallardo Pass and clung to the southwest to join the re- tiring main army.

Some believed it was his intention to withdraw from the Agua Prieta field altogether and march southwest to at- tack a large body of Carranza troops reported to be coming from that direc- tion.
