ILLINOIS PROBABLY WILL
BE FOR WILLIAM r. HEARST
Element Supporting Him Seems to

Element Supporting Him Seems to
be in Control.
Springfield, H., June 13.-Followers
of John p Hopkins of Chicago, chair
man of the Illinois Democratic Central
Committee, provoked at an attempt by
adherents of William r. Hearst to ne
cure control of the Central Committee
when the Illinois Democratic Conven-
ton convenes tomorrow noon, may
make an attempt to force Hearst to
forego an instructed delegation to the
national convention. The fight for con-
troll of the state Democratic machinery
has placed the complexion of the state
ticket in the background for the mo-
.aent
Hearst adherents purpose. it is said,
to depose Mr.. Hopkins and to place
Millard Dunlap, Hearst's Illinois cam
paign manager, at the head of the Illi-
nois Democratic machine.
At present friends of Hopkins think
that Hearst. in view of his enmity to
Hopkins, should be content with an
Endorsement by the convention. Adher-
ents of Hearst. however, believe that
they will be able to control the con-
vention at all stages.
The fight in the open will begin to-
morrow when a temporary chairman is
selected. Hopkins partisans hold that
the party constitution gives the State
Central Committee the right to select
temporary chairman, while Hearst
men say the convention should exercise
this right.
Frank J. Quinn of Peoria is Hopkins
choice for temporary chairman. Ad
herents of Mayor Carter H. Harrison
of Chicago are for Congressman Will
liams of Illinois for President. This
makes the fight three-cornered.
1t is not known whom Hopkins wants
for President, except that he has op
posed Hearst.
The State Central Committee to-
night selected Frank p. Quinn of Peo-
ria as temporary chairman of the con-
vention. If Hopkins adherents con-
troll the convention tomorrow, Quinn's
appointment will be made permanent.
The subcommittee, TO which was re-
ferred the hearing of contests, was in
session many hours. The contests were
mostly decided in favor of tine Hop
kins' faction. II is estimated that when
all the contests are finished. the net
proceeds to Hopkins from contests will
amount to $50 delegates Hopkins ad-
herents believe that the $50 they will
gain together with what they now have,
will insure them control of the con-
vention.

at 10 O'Clock tonight through hereto
fore reliable channels, that part of the
Japanese force that left Pu Ian Tien
to checkmate the Russians southwark
movement to relieve Port Arthur, was
attacked southeast of Shungnmao yes
terday. After slight fighting the Jap
anese made a false retreat, the Rus
slams hotly fighting them, when the
Japanese made a flank movement,
catching the Russians in a trap. The

showed every indication of a long
forced march.

retreating from Tsaichou. Before he

russian camp east of here, reports that
there are many wounded men there.

Is the short dispatch received from Maj.
Gen. Karkevitch. which was sent on
June IL, the date on which the hattie
is said to have occurred. He does not
mention the Pu Ian Tien fight. of
which the authorities presume he would
nave heard had it occurred His dis-
patch covered events up to the preced-
ing day.
General news from the southern part
OF Lao Tung peninsula is of the scanti-
est and in the absence of official news
the officials. here are not inclined to
speculate as to the situation.
UP to late hour tonight nothing
further had been heard from Port AR
thur.
The reports of continuous skirmish-
ing along the railway south of Vafan-
dlen are taken to show that the Cos
sacks are keeping the Japanese busy in
protecting their rear While heavy
lighting is not regarded as being i'm
minent, more or less severe brush
with the enemy is likely at any time.

She Is Not Guilty-Smith Has Nos
Been Found.
New York, June 13.-Mrs. Nan Pat
terson, the actress, who was with
Caesar Young, the bookmaker, in a cab
on June when he was shot and killed,
was to-day indicted for murder in the
first degree.
Mrs. Patterson was told in the coro-
ner's court room that she had been in
dicted. For the first time since she re-
covered from the first shock of Young's
death, she showed emotion, and Coro-
ner Jackson who Is a physician, was
called to attend her.
Dr. Jackson said the young woman's
heart had given way under the strain
she was undergoing, but that the weak
ness was only temporary. Mrs. Patter-
son was accompanied to court by her
father and by a school girl friend, Miss
Mclaughlin At the close Of the hear
ing she was taken back to the Tombs.
]. Morgan Smith, Mrs. Patterson's
brother in-law, who is under subpoena
as witness, has not been found.
]. B. Patterson of Washington. father
of the prisoner; Miss Mclaughlin, and
a man who declined to give his name,
called on Mrs. Patterson at the Tombs
to-day At the end of the interview Mr..
Patterson said he was surprised that
the grand jury had indicted his daugh-
ter. He said, however, that this only
strengthened his determination to
stand by the prisoner and protect her
with every means in his power.
The filing of the indictment obviated
the. hearing of much evidence at the
coroners inquest, which was held to-
day. Only few witnesses were exam
ined, and the jury quickly returned a
verdict that Young came to his death
by a bullet wound.
Mrs. Patterson will be arraigned to
plead before Judge Newburger in the
Court of General Sessions tomorrow.

KOPPS WILL DIRECT
HOSPITAL CONSTRUCTION
Bond for the Contract Has Not Te'
Been Made.
BY r. M. Larmer.

by X. M. AaTlHeI'
washington. DC, June 13.-J. Deb.
Kopps of Savannah has been appoint
ed superintendent of the marine hos
pital building during its construction.
Mr.. Kopps is a practical architect and
builder and received his appointment
through the civil service commission
He was taken from the eligible list
and certified to the secretary OF the
treasury. He will receive a salary OF
81, 900 a year and is required to give
bond for the satisfactory performance
of his duty
Recent inquiry has come to Washing
ton as to the delay in commencing the
work on the Savannah building. Super
vising architect Taylor said to-day
that neither the contractor nor the
superintendent has had his bond ap-
proved, and as soon as that regulation
is complied with the work at Savannah
should commence at once. Mr.. Taylor
inquired of the solicitor of the treasury
If the bond of the contractor, Cramp
and Co., has been approved and the
answer was that it has not. 1t was eX-
planned that the contractor has re'd-
sonable time in which to file his bond;
besides he is required by the terms of
the contract to complete the work
within a certain period.
The department has done it's best to
expedite the construction of the build
ing. 1t is expected that the bond of the
contractor will be fixed up within a
few days and it will then be up to him
to go ahead with the work.

SAYS THE CHINESE
ARE CUTTING WIRES.

Gen. Kurokis Headquarters in the
Field, June II, via Fusan, Korea.-Ac-
cording to information here the only
hostilities now occurring at the front
are daily encounters between outposts,
resulting in the loss Of a man or two
every day. A few Russian prisoners
are being brought into Japanese head
quarters, but no Japanese are being
captured. This is taken to show that
the Japanese are getting the best of the
encounters.
Chinese are giving trouble in cutting
the telegraph wires nightly; they prob
ably are in the pay of the Russians.
The work of keeping Gen. Kurokis
army in supplies of all kinds continues
to be performed with excellent results
and is beyond criticism. The conduct
of the japanese soldiers is irreproacha-
ble and their spirits are high.
