TILLMAN SECURES DELAY.
Former Lfeut.-GOv. Tillman OF South
Carolina Secures a Continu-
nnce Till Next July.

Columbia, S. c., April s.-Following
Tuesdays Indictment by the grand
jury Of former Lieut.-Gov. Tillman
for the murder of Editor Gonzales, in
this city, last January, and the fix
ing of Wednesday as the arraignment
of the prisoner, the counsel for the
defense asked for a continuance of
the case until the July term of the
court, and the request was granted.
The grounds on which the continu-
ance was requested by the defense
were the absence of two witnesses,
who, the defense allege, are of great
Importance to the case. 1t is stated
that one of the witnesses, Capt. w. j.
White, is expected to testify that Mr..
Gonzales went to the statehouse be-
fore the tragedy and inquired for
Tillman, stating that he had once
made Tillman 'show the white feath-
er and would do so again." The de-
fense also claims that Miss Roper,
a trained nurse, who claims that she
had heard Gonzales bitterly denounce
Tillman, could not be present.
Affdavits were presented to the ef-
feet that Capt. White was ill and that
Miss Roper was in New York city.

Gilman run from 1880 to over 10000.
The socialist candidates received to-
tails of about $500, while the social
ist-labor candidates for the council

IN ILLINOIS.

Carter Harrison Reelected Mayor
of Chicago by Reduced Majority.
Chicago, April 8.-For the fourth
successive time, Carter H. Harrison
was elected mayor of Chicago Tues
day. He defeated Graeme Stewart,
his republican opponent, by 6,Hs
votes.
The total vote was: Harrison, 146.-
1923; Stewart, 139,375.
The mayor had the fight of his life,
and the result was in doubt until the
last hundred precincts were heard
from.
Indicating the closeness of the con-
test, and the manner in which the
Harrison victories have been narrow
ing, it may be recalled that he was
elected the first time by 79,15o votes,
the second time by 41,O59, and the
third time by 2s,324, and this time by
6,94s. His total vote, 146,323, is well
up to that of previous years.
One of the great surprises OF the
day was the small vote cast for Dan
iel L. Cruise, the Independent labor
candidate. Mr.. Cruise had boasted
that he would poll more than 100000
votes. -g.s5z --e4 q =
In addition to the mayor the demo
Gratis elected the other officers on the
city ticket, except city clerk and city
attorney, by strong pluralities. The
new city council will be 35 republic
cans, 33 democrats, one Independent
and one socialist. The old council was
80 republicans, 80 democrats and one
independent.
The aldermanic contest Of greatest
interest was that In the fashionable
ITwenty-first ward, where Honore
Palmer, present alderman, was re
elected over Fletcher Dobins, 4 Har.

siye North side set.

MAY BE SOMETHING DOING.


st. Louis, April s.-st. Louis has
again become the center Of interest
in a "boodle'' inquiry, this time re-
lating to the "alum" bill in the state
cult Attorney Folk and Att'y-Gen.
Grow in an inquiry at the Southern
hotel, Tuesday, the arrest of Daniel
j. Kelley was ordered in New York
on a charge of attempting to bribe
Licut.-Gov. Lee while both were in st.
Louis.
Kelley is charged with being the
agent of the Baking Powder trust,
and is credited with being the father
of the National Health society.
The information issued by Circuit
Attorney Folk against Kelley alleges
that after the failure of Kelley to
bribe Lieut.-Gov. Lee in St. Louis he
sent o check for 81 900, the object
being to, secure the appointment of
a committee that would handle the
bill to repeal the law prohibiting the
manufacture of ''alum'' baking pow
der in Missouri for the interests of
the trust.
Kelley was released after his arrest
in New York, and Gov. Dockery and
the StsLouis police force were called
upon to aid in having him arrested
again, and were successful.
Gov. Dockery appealed to Gov.
Odell of New York over the telephone,
and after being promised his assist
ance, Detective James Tracy was
started for jefferson City to secure
the requisition papers.
During Kelley's appearance in St.
Louis and Jefferson City he was
known as Brown, and is regarded as 4
most mysterious parsonage.
The Cole county grand jury has
been conducting for several weeks an
inquiry into the distribution of bribes
in this connection.
Witnesses examined Tuesday say
| that 10000 was distributed by Kelley
among about sixteen members of the
legislature.

8. Of the Larger T0wns.
Chicago, April s.-Outside Of Chi
caeo, Springfield, East st. Louis, Quin-
cy and Galesburg there was not much
interest in the municipal elections in
Illinois. --. -
East St. Louis was carried by an In
dependent ticket and Galesburg by
Citizens ticket.
The democrats made gains at
Springfield and Quincy, carrying both
cities.
At Springfield the fight was largely
against Gov. Yates state machine.
The democratic victory was decisive.
Quincy is normally democratic by
500, but the democratic candidate
swelled this more than 1000. One of
the issues there was the public own
ership of the waterworks, move
espoused by the democratic candidate
for mayor.
Township elections were held all
over Illinois. In the southern part OF
the state the democrats held their
own, while but little change is noted
in the northern counties.
