sembly the new book of forms. last
night issued a letter in which he ex-
pressed hope that there would be no
fight over it in the convention. The
assembly will take such action on the
report as it deems advisable. but he
urges the members not to engage in
heated debate over it. Notwithstand-
ing DR.. Van Dykes position, however.
there promises to be a lively debate
on the report. Fifty presidents OF
Presbyterian colleges held a confer
ence yesterday afternoon and agreed
that all schools of the denomination
should be asked to require 144 hours
of bible study in every four years
course. 1t also undertook to define
what a college is and the work H.

accepted use of the term.

DENEEN VICTOR
ON PRIMARY BILL

Springfield, H., May 17.-After a
sensational speech by Lieutenant Gov
ernor Sherman, the special session oil
the Illinois legislature, called by Gov
ernor Deneen TO enact a primary elec-
ton law, resulted yesterday in the
adoption of a bill framed by Speaker
Shurtleff. The measure had a close
call, receiving only bare majority
in the house. 1t is expected that the
governor will sign the bill, making
it law July /. The passage of the
bill is considered a victory for Gov
ernor Deneen, as an effort was made
to bring about final adjournment with
out the enactment of any sort of a
primary law. Sherman's speech was
made after he had announced the
vote in the senate. He denounced the
bill as a humiliating failure, saying:
There is not one line in it that you
may point to and say that it gives the
people the right to say whom they
shall nominate. 1t puts premium Oh
gerrymandering and future dead
locks in conventions. 1t portrays
great and painful motion without one
inch of progress. 1t seems to me
that it was conceived in a refrigerator
and born in a FROST
The legislature adjourned last
night, after the senate had appropri-
ated $4,000 for the payment of the
expenses of the session.

Cleveland, May 1.-THE Western
Gas association convened here yester
day. President Prentiss of the cham
Der of commerce, Belvidere, delivered
the address of welcome. George Nc
Lean of Dubuque, was the principal
speaker at the afternoon session. Pub
lie regulation of gas companies was
one of the things endorsed by Mr.. Nc
Lean. He said:
"A gas plant is public utility so
AFFILIATED with the public interest that
the right to regulate the charge for
service is one which should be re-
served to the representatives of the
public, and whose exercise should be
subject to review by the courts. The
desideratum is system which while
assuring the public of a square deal
will leave the corporation a motive
for enterprise, progress and liberality,
a motive for assuming risks in the eff
fort to extend it's business and IN.
crease its profits, and a guarantee
that others will not be permitted to
reap where it has sown.

upon exaggerated statements and by
fair dealing with the public endeavor
to establish relations of comfy be.

COAL COMPANIES
BRiBED RAILROADS

Philadelphia, May 17.-ReveIations
of an unusual character were made
yesterday during the investigation Of
the interstate commerce commission
into alleged discrimination by rail
road companies in the distribution OF
cars TO eoal companies in the BIZ
luminous region. 1t was shown that
stock in coal companies was present
ed TO Pennsylvania railroad officials,
the object being to secure better
treatment and facilities from the rail
road. One witness said that Rob
ert Pitcairn. now assistant to Presi-
den. Cassatt. had declined a prefer
OF stock, saving he preferred the
money. The coal company bought
back the stock from him for $4,000.
The NORTH American says that cir
cuWstantial reports that Alexander
J. Cassatt has determined to resign
the presidency of the Pennsylvania
railroad company in consequence OF
stating disclosures in the railroad
coal investigation. have reached the
interstate commerce commission. Ac
cording to the North American, before
leaving for Europe last week, Gas
satt told some Of his closest personal
friends that he had been grossly de-
ceived by his subordinate officers OF
the Pennsylvania railroad concerning
actual facts and conditions in the
management of the company.
