Race. War Situation Improves Fast, Though Many State Militiamen Are Still
 Retained.
COURTS AFTER RIOTERS
Young Citizen Soldiers Are Too Quick to Shoot Says sheriff Who Has Narrow
 Escape.

Springfield, H., Aug 1S-That the race war situation in this city is con sldered much less serious was evi- dence tonight when Governor Deneen Issued orders for the return of the frs, and fourth infantry regiments to take trains for their home tomorrow.
 T took this measure after a confer ence with Sheriff Werner, Mayor Reece, Major Gen. Young. Adjutant General Scott. General Ester and Gen Wells" explained Gov. Deneen tonight
 Dos that mean that you consider all danger of serious trouble Is past?" he was asked.
 Tt means that we can properly guard the city with the troops which will remain. The departure of the first and fourth will lessen our forces by about 1000 men, leaving a good 2,00O here"
 Major Gen Young said "The mob element has had a lesson and the way citizens with Knowledge of rlotous misdeeds are responding to the appeal for information on which to base indictments will furnish fur ther instructions to the violently in- clined. We are getting news on which we will be able Co make many arrests of importance and these ar rests will render the situation much easier to handle.
 With the ringleaders behind the bars there will be little for the mili- tary to do And besides the state will save about ten thousand dollars a day by sending the superfluous troops home. Both regiments have done excellent work
 There were the usual baseless alarms tonight, but up to midnight nothing of serious character had transplred There was no indication of trouble at the .Woodside coal mine where the white miners refused to work with ne- groes. but some nervousness was re- ported as existing at the Tuxhorn mine.
 The refusal of the whites to work with their colored comrades was con sldered at an all day session of the ex- amining board of the State Federation of the United Mine Workers of Amer ica Tonight an order was issued or dering the miners to report back at their posts tomorrow.
 While the sheriff of Sangamon county is glad of the presence here of the national guardsmen, personally he and his deputies will feel much safer when they are gone, according to stories told tonight by deputies.
 Nearly all of last nights shooting according to Deputy Long was done by soldiers Long was riding in the wagon which contained other deputies and soldiers, among them being Lieu tenant Ridgeway of the First infan. try, whose scabbard was struck by 6 bullet and Deputy Sherffs John Can field and Harry F. Kramer. It leaked out tonight that one of last nights bullets went through his hat. Others whistled over Deputy Kramer's head
 "I never want to come closer tc being killed" said Kramer tonight Its those rockies that do it. Wher they see something moving In the dark they take a shot at it. Those young sentries and guards are too sus. picious.'

JUDGE BRONSON DECLINES.
Will Not Have Name Used in Connec'
 ton With Democratic Nomination.

Judge Samuel l.. Bronson was in the city yesterday and talked over the general situation politically. He said that he considered the chance of the democrats both in the state and the nation better this year than they have been for a long time. He said in spite of the fact that he had heard that the New Haven delegation was behind him for the gubernator- ial nomination. he must decline to have his name mentioned in that con nection.
 This statement will cause consid- erable surprise as the state central committee was informed at It's recent meeting here that Judge Bronson was receptive candidate and since then considerable favorable sentiment has been aroused for him.

AUTO STRIKES POLE
Avoiding Farm Wagon Four Ohio Men Are Spilled
 at Indian Neck.
GAR ALMOST A WRECK
E1ddded Across Road and Ended up at Foot of a Haystack--
 One Man Hurt.

X very peculiar automobile accident that almost had fatal results occurred on the highway just this side of Indian Neck last night and as result the body of the car was badly wrenched to pieces and smashed and one of the oc- cupants had 0s hand and elbow sev- erely wrenched. The car. a big Peer less touring machine, was coming along the road with it's big light gleaming up the road when a farm wagon appeared in sight just ahead. The chauffeur. a colored man, turned out for the farm wagon and in doing so the car col lided with telephone pole by the roadside. After hitting the pole the car skidded across the road and. went through very narrow space between tree and another telephone pole, a space so narrow that 1t Is considered remarkable how 1t went through so well as the opening was very little wider than the car. The car ended up right plump at the foot of hay stack.
 The car was occupied by four young men who claimed they were staying at the Montowese house. One of the young men said the car belonged to his uncle who was also staying at the house and that they had borrowed 1t for the evening. The car bore an Ohio tag. At the Montowese house 1t was stated last night that no such parties were staying there and that no accld- ent was known of except slight ac- cidentSfo car belonging to man who lived near the house.
 The car was from a superficial view a complete wreck but 1t Is not known how badly the engines are damaged The body of the car was completely wrecked.

Needed if New York is to Retain its
 Position, Says Shipping Men.


 New York. Aug. 1S.-More piers and liberal cut in dock rates were declared to-day in conference of business men particularly interested in the commerce of this port to be the principal things needed to save the situation for New York.

HIS SIDE OF THE STORY IN

To the Voters of Chelan County:
The following statements from A.
F. Estes appeared in the last issue of
the Leavenworth Echo. Too late to
give me an opportunity Ito refute
them. The statement is character
istic of the man. 1t brings promi-
nently to the fore his ignorance and
his inability to tell the truth. Lis

why not look at the record made
by H. w. Otis?
Total amount apportioned to
road and bridge fund, Second District
for past year, $S,409.30; cost of
bridge across Peshastin Creek, built
at Mr.. Otis gate, $2,566.25; grad
ing approaches 70 and around said
bridge about $1,000; grading roads
along Otis ranch, about $500; bridge
across Mason Creek, to benefit three
ranches, one of which is said to be-
long to Otis, $3,OS7.15; total, S.
053.4o; balance, $4,000.
This leaves less than $500 to
dust-mulch and build culverts on the
balance of the county roads in the
district.
Don't the roads look like it?
Under the management of the
present Board of Commissioners the
road and bridge fund is overdrawn
approximately $4,000.
Mr.. Otis advocates saddling the
county with s15O.oo0 more of inter-
est bearing bonds and is moving ev-
cry power to be reelected that he
may assist in spending this money on
roads and bridges.
"It is time for taxpayers, voters
and all interested in the county's
welfare to use judgment in the Sc
lection Of a new board of commits
sioners, and 1t is certainly time to
retire H. w. Otis from public affairs

publicanS Must Unite or Go
Without a Senator.

A terrific effort is being made in
Kittitas county to consolidate the re-

If the people of Kittitas county
wish to make this a county fight it is
up to the people of Chelan county to
consolidate.
Walter NJ. Olive seems to be the
man most suitable to the greatest
number of people. He stands espe-
cially well in Cashmere-his former
home. He also stands well at Leav-
enworth and Lake Chelan. Recent
communications from the Entiat state
that he will pull a big majority
there
In Wenatchee, Olive is recognized
as one of the most progressive and
deserving candidates. With no re-
Election on C. B. Reed, who is also
running in this county, it would seem
to be to the best interests OF the
whole county to unite and place the
legislative business in the hands of
Mr.. Olive. He is well acquainted
over the state and can come nearer
getting what he goes after in a legis-
lative way than any other candidate
for this Office on the whole ticket.
Olive was one of the chief workers
who forced the bridge undertaking
through successfully, and many reo-

that in the last two years that fund

very short time in which to get this
to some of the voters, l will not have
time to segregate the amount ex-
pended in each section. But will d.
