Delegation Calls on House Judiciary
Committee to Urge It
Washington, April 4.—In the Inter-
est of the amendment to the Sherman
anti-trust law a large delegation, rep-
resentative of manufacturing, commer-
cial, railway, labor and agricultural
Interests, all identified with the ’Na-
tional Civic Federatoo, appeared today
before the House Committee on judi-

former Mayor Low, Albert Shaw, Sam-

states that when her estate la settled
she will have between $100,000 and for themselves Just what they wanted.
The current issue of the
Gazetteer has the following:
Last Saturday at a special meeting
of the City Council warrants were
ordered to be Issued for the purchase
of the Randell farm, northwest of
town about three miles, consisting of
about seven hundred acres. The
purchase of $500 of waterworks bonds,
Issue of 1908, was also made, and eight
bonds were retired, amounting to a to-
tal of $8,000. Then on motion of Com-
missioner Suggs $24,000 of the water-
works bonds were purchased, the reso-
lution reading as follows:
"That warrants be issued against
the following funds for Investment
and purchase of $24,000 Denison wat-
erworks bonds of the issue of 1908,
$8,090 against the sewer bond sinking
fund of 1890, to be placed to the credit
of the Denison waterworks fund,
$8,000 against the same fund of 1892
and $8,000 against the school bond
sinking fund of 1892.”
Tho finance committee was then In-
structed to purchase these bonds. Mr.
Suggs also moved and It was carried
unanimously, that warrants be Issued
on the waterworks fund, created by
the above actions, for $21,750 in pay-
ment for the Randell farm.
In this connection the Gazetteer
calls attention to the following extract
from an editorial in the Herald of last
Monday:
"In an article In the Sunday Gaz-
etteer of June 30, It was stated that
the Commission could not take the
taxpayers into their confidence with-
out jeopardizing the whole proposi-
tion; that without money they were
in no position to trade with anybody:
and that before the city was definitely
committed to any proposition It was
the intention of the! Commission to
submit the whole matter to a vote of
the people so that they could declare

Washington, April 4.-~John Leech,
of Illinois, now Public Printer in the
Philippines, was today appointed Pub-
lic Printer here.
Leech succeeds Public Printer Stil-
lings, whose resignation was accepted
some days ago. The appointment was
in the nature of a surprise, as his
name had not been mentioned in con-
nection with tne place.

This, mind you, was a voluntary state-
ment from the Commission and evi-
dently Intended to assure the people
of their good faith and desire to do

While the Question of the issue of
bonds was pending the Oazetter did
say that if the proposition carried
non© of the money so provided for
would be expended without submit-
ting the question to the taxpayers
for their approval or rejection. This
information the Gazetter obtained
from Mayor Acheson. and It was also
with
Commissioner Suggs on the subject
that it would probably be necessary
to do so under the provisions of the
city charter. On the strength of
Information so obtained the Gazetteer
in its issue of Jnne 30 said:
If the city votes the bonds, as soon
thereafter as practicable the Commis-
sion will decide what method they

Improving the city water supply, the
plan worked out by the Commission
will be submitted to a vote of the peo-
ple (taxpayers) for their acceptance
j or rejection, waa obtained from mem-
bers of the Commission.
These statements made by the Gaz-
etteer were never controverted by
any member of the Commission, so far
as the Gazetteer knows, and the first
Intlmdtlon that was had that the ref-
erendum provision of the charter waa
not to be carried out was the action
of the Commission last Saturday.
The Gazetteer has no criticism to
make as to the purchase of the Ran-
dell farm for a water reservoir; If
the city 1# at an early day to own Its
own water system. It 1a probably an
Important adjunct to the providing ot
an adequate water snnnlv; but It Is
the method of the
craetes astonishment in face of the
assurances given before the suhmls-
J sion of, the bond Issue proposition.
The Gazetteer doesn't like being plac-
ed In a false light. It wouldn’t know-
ingly deceive the public and the state-
ments It made, as above quoted, were
tation extended him to attend the Jef-
ferson Day Dinner In New York, stat-
ing that he withdrew his acceptance
and that recent discussion makes It
unwise for him to go.
Mr. Bryan was invited to attend but
not Invited to speak.

Chicago, 111., April 4.—The hottest
and most extensive fight the Prohibi-
tionists have ever made In Illinois la
nearing the finish. Next Tuesday
nearly 2,000 cities and villages will
vote on the question of "wet or dry.”
The contest is being waged in some
portion of every county in the State
except twelve, most of which went
dry last November.
In some of the cities the fight has
been carried on with an Intensity sel-
dom equaled, and the lines are being
so closely drawn between the friends
of the saloon and the foes that for the
time being activities In tho big politi-
cal parties have been brought to a
practical standstill In order that they
may not conflict with the strife over
prohibition.
Every city of Central Illinois, with
the exception of Peoria, will vote
upon the prohibition question. The
largest of these Is Springfield, the
capital of the State, where the 14000
registered voters will rally to the
polls to decide whether or not the 210
saloonB of.the city shall be closed. As
Springfield Is one of the largest cities
in the North to take up this big Issue
and pot it to a vote, people of other
cities, not only throughout Illinois
but adjoining states, are watching for
the result.
A month or so ago few believed the
Anti-Saloon League In Springfield
could muster a force of any propor-
tions but as the campaign has devel-
oped the anti-saloon element be-
came so strong aad aggressive that
the brewery and saloon Interests are
said to have become frightened. They
have collected fundB to defend the sa-
loons and have scattered pro-saloon
literature from one end of the town to
the other.
In all the other cities and towns
the campaign has been equally inter-
esting. The clergymen are denounc-
ing the liquor traffic and calling upon
their congregations to unite In voting
it ont of existence. Mass meetings
are being held nightly in churches
and public halls. Street orators are
addressing crowds In the public
squares, and the women and children
are also actively engaged in fighting
the saloons. Paraaes with banners
are a feature of the campaign by wo-
men and children In many of the
towns. A house-to-house canvass by
the members of the W. C. T. U., ac-
companied, In most Instances by little
children who distribute leaflets an-
tagonizing the saloon and who coh-
tribute their childish plea, is another
feature attracting attention.
In nearly a dozen of the larger cities
the saloon fight has developed such
bitterness that personal friendships
are being split, business is divided and
political lines are being obliterated.
In Joliet the contest Is so bitter that
the business men are split Into two
hostile camps that are so much at
loggerheads that trade 1s suffering.
Merchants who are fighting foj a
dry town are being boycotted by the
brewery and distillery interests.
Prohibition speakers from outside
have been brought Into the State by
the Anti-Saloon league and tHe Prohi-
bition State Committee, which are In
charge of the temperance crusade.
Among them are Governor Iianly of
Hoch of Kansas
the prohibition
leader In the Georgia legislature.
Tho Personal IJberty^ League, re-
cently organized by the'opponents of
prohibition, Is equally active, and has
sent out tons of literature. In the sa-
loons In aome of the larger cities
placards are posted showing empty
store buildings in Kansas City, Kan.
Over thorn Is tho caption: "Duo to the
expulsion of the saloons. The camer-
as cannot lie.” The farmers are be-
ing appealed to by posters showing
the decrease In the consumption of
grain If the aaloons are abolished
Outside of Chicago only four of the
large cities of Illinois are without a
fight over the prohibition question.
They are Quincy. Ottawa. Peoria and
East St. Louis. In the latter city the
question was kept off the ballot he-
cause the petition was filed with the j
city clerk Instead of with the election
commission. '
Vincennes, Ind., for Vice President
by the Populist National convention
yesterday.
When their support of William J.
Bryan was howled down Friday after-
noon, the Nebraska and Minnesota
delegations bolted the Populist con-
vention at the Olympic Theater.
The'r action followed a speech
by the Rev. James Wadsworth, & del-
egate from Indiana, who said:
“The Republican party and the
Bryan wing ot the Democratic party
can go to the infernal regions. You
might as well try to purify hell as
tie up with them. I quote the scrip-
tural text, ‘Be ye not yoked with un-
believers.’ ”
The bolt came after an attempt on
the part of the Nebraska delegation to
rush through a resolution providing
that, the nomination of a President
should be deferred until after the
Democratic convention at Denver.
This was voted down by an over-
whelming vote.
