|sILLY sCREED OF CHICAGO PAPERS
Think They Have Discovered Bugaboo in Consolida-
ton Bill Of Iri. City Railway Company

The Chicago newspapers imagine
they have scented bugaboo in con-
nection with the bill before the Illi-
nois legislature to legaiize the con.
solidation of the lines in Rock Island
Moline, and Davenport of the Tri-
City Railway company.
Imbued with the narrow spirit that
there is no city in the state but their
own. the Chicago papers proceed
to lambast every corporation measure
that originates from any town outside
of Chicago. taking up the cry of
''steal" in their efforts to defeat it,
while it is conceded fact that vir-
tualIy all obnoxious legislation eman-
ates from Chicogo.
The Tri-City Railway bill seeks sim
ply to legalize the consolidation men,
toned and for legal relief in relation
to its bonded Indebtedness, and should
be supported by those who have the
power to give the relief prayed for.
The measure has to do with the Tri-
City hallway only, and is not being
put forward in the interest of other
traction corporations, as is alleged.
The Chicago Chronicle of Sunday has
an extended article from it's SPRING
field correspondent, which says in
part:
Much excitement was caused
at the close of the evening ses-
sion of the house when Sen
ator Payne's amended bill, which
recently passed the upper house, was
called up on second reading and
advanced. The Payne bill provides.
in brief, for the ratification of all
agreements between any street rail-
way company organized under the
laws of Illinois and any street rail-
way company organized under the
laws of any other state between July.
1855. and July. 1900. and that all

This bill. it is said, is intended to
ratify the consolidation of the Moline,
Rock Island and Davenport street
railway companies in order to remove
a C 'oud from the bond issues of the
consolidation. When the Payne bill
came up in the house Representative
Gould, of Chicago, offered an amend
ment providing that the act should
not apply to cities of 100, 600 iphabit-
ants or over. Mr.. Gould raised the
point that the bill as it stands
would enable the Chicago City Rail
way company, of Chicago, and tho
West Chicago Street hallway COM
pany to consolidate with the Ham
mond Qnd } Street Railway CON
pany.
Representative Allen spoke against
the amendment and Representative
Johnson, of Rock Island county.
moved to table il. The motion TO
table failed and the Gould amendment
was adopted. Representative Shurt-
ill thereupon gave notice that Mon
day he would move to reconsider the
vote by which the amendment was
adopted. Several Chicago memb ers
say the Payne bill is a device to en-,
able the Chicago companies TO consol-
idate with Indiana companies, incor-
porate the consolidation in Indiana,
thereby to escape taxation in Illinois.
and also to remove all personal dam
age suits to the federal courts.
General Manager Lardner. of the
Rock Observation-Disclosures consol-
idated company, says he is not op
posed to an amendment limiting the
operation of the Payne bill to cities
having a population under 100. 900,
buS the opposition to this amendment
has excited the suspicion that the
Chicago companies are involved"

VAN KURAN ASKS
FOR NEW TRIAL
Sentence is Postponed Until
Next Wednesday.
DEFENDANT is PENNILESS
WANTS STATE TO PAY FOR THE
TRANSCRIPT.

Yesterday morning was the time set
by Judge Stewart for passing sentence
upon Arthur J. Van Kuran, who was
convicted last Wednesday of the Of
Tense of embezzling $4,000 from the
Oregon Short Line Railroad company
while acting as it's local treasurer, but
the passing of sentence was deferred
until Wednesday next, pending the de-
cision of the court on the motion by
the defense for a new trial. In addi-
ton to applying for a new trial Judge
Powers. on behalf of the defendant,
presented an affidavit showing that
Van Kuran is impecunious and there
fore entitled to have transcribed at the
expense of the state tine stenogra piers
notes of the testimony taken at the
trial Should the court deny the motion
for new trial an appeal will be taken
TO the supreme court on the ground
that there are numerous reversible
errors in the trial record.
Judge Powers made an elaborate ar
gument in support of his motion for a
new trial. laying stress upon the state
ment that the court erred in charging
the jury that il need not take into con-
slderation the character of the defend
ant. which, 1T was conceded by the
prosecution. was unquestioned up to
the time the offense is alleged to have
been committed. Many court decisions
on this and other points cited were
quoted by defendants attorney.
The specific grounds upon which the
motion for a new trial are: That the
court misdirected the jury in matters
of law that the court erred in the de-
cision of questions of law arising during
the trial; that the court erred in per-
hitting private counsel to make the
closing argument for the prosecution,
which act was prejudiciaI to the sub
stantial rights of the defendant: that
the verdict is contrary to the law and
the evidence; that there was a material
variance between the charge made to
the jury and the evidence introduced
Special Prosecutor Narian replied to
Judge Powers argument and main
tanned that the supreme court had al
ready decided that special counsel
might with propriety present the clos
ing argument. No cause existed. he
contended, for the granting of a new
trial.

was out working for Buckle as hard
as one man could work for another.
Nov they are fighting each other as
hard, as they know how. The parting
OF the ways was on the John z DooIy
question, Robertson breaking away as
soon as Buckle began crfticising Dolly
with caustic candor.
That the Republicans are afraid OF
Buckle is evidenced by the fact that
wherever possible primaries have been
called at the homes of known machine
men, 1t is rather embarrassing to
vote in direct opposition to the wishes
of ones host. and nobody knows il bet
ter than the machine people Never
theless Buckle hopes and expects to
overcome the handicap.
One thing that is gaining him many
friends is the attitude of the suburban
organ Of the Republicans. Although it
is conceded by every politician in the
city who pretends to have any acumen
that Buckle will get a big percentages
OF the votes in the convention. the

could go to his home on First West
street and Meyer was taken to the
police station in the patrol wagon His

the circumstances. called his bow the
most vile epithets, and declared: "They
