SPRINGFIELD IS QUILTING

The Chief Executive States That With the Soldiers That Remain He Is Sure of Holding Race Rioters In Check. Citizens Aid h Getting Evidence For Indictments.
 Springfield, IL. Aug. 19.-That the race war situation in this city is con sidered much less serious was evi- denced when Governor Deneen issued orders for the return of the First and Fourth infantry regiments to take trains for their homes.
 s T took this measure after confer ence with Sheriff Werner, Mayor Reece, Major General Young, Adjutant General Scott, General Foster and Gen. eral Wells," explained Governor De- neen.
 Docs that mean that you consider all danger of serious trouble is past:" he was asked.
 It means that we can properly guard the city with the troops which will re- main. There will still be the Second and Seventh regiments under General Foster in the western division and the Third and Fifth under General Wells. The departure of the First and Fourth will lessen our forces by about 1000 men, leaving good 2,000 here"
 Lesson to Mob Element.
 Major General Young said: The mob element has had lesson, and the way citizens with knowledge of riotous mis. deeds are responding to the appeal for Information on which to base indict ments will furnish further instructions to tho violently inclined. We are get ting news on which we will be able tc make many arrests of importance, and these arrests will render the situation much easier to handle"
 While a new grand jury was hearing witnesses in riot cases and citizen: were holding meeting the antagonisn between whites and blacks, already re sponsible for seven deaths and scorel of injuries, struck underground. White miners at the Woodside coa mine, mile out of town. and the Tux horn mine. four miles distant, refused to work with the negroes owing to seri ous quarrels in the galleries. The tw' mines employ about 800 men. about 15' of whom are colored. The white min CTS came to President Clark of tn Springfield subdistrict of the Unite' Mine Workers with the declaration that the negroes were armed and trou blesome, and they did not feel safe il the darkness with them.
 ''The negroes are nervous, guess, commented the organization leader Both races belong to the union, an the union will see that no further seri sus trouble arises"

mother shall not get possession of them, and they are watched closely, never being allowed out of sight of attendants.
 Mrs. Hains, who is bitterly at odds with her husbands relatives, has made two futile visits to the Hains quarters at Sandy Hook to see the children.
 At Highlands, N. J., she learned that orders had been issued not to allow her to enter the reservation without an or der from Washington, so she returned to this city very much disturbed and excited.
 They have robbed me of my chill dren," she cried, but will not give them up."
 It also came to light that Mrs. Hains visited Mrs. Annis, the victims wife, and that the two women conferred for several hours.
 No One Shall See Them.
 That W. c. Percy. counsel for the Hains brothers, is determined that no one shall visit the two prisoners was shown by a letter which Warden Hen i " Schleth of the Queens county jail received. The letter was sent by Mir. Percy and read:
 Please let no one see Captain Hains ' or his brother, T. Jenkins Hains, ex- cept their father or mother until fur | ther notice. I have been retained as counsel"
 The story of the quarrel between Captain Hains and his wife when the former discovered her alleged wrong doing came to light through NJ. j. Rowan of Bay Ridge, who told of visit to Lieutenant NJ. ?. Andrews al Fort Hamilton during the last of May
 "we were sitting on the veranda of the officers quarters" said Rowan "when we heard a woman's screams for help. We could also hear a mans shouts.
 We found Captain Hains clutchint bis wife by the throat with one hand With his other hand he pressed a re volver against her head. She was beg ging him not to kill her"
 Funeral services for William E. An nIs were held at his late residence il Claremont avenue. No reference al to the manner in which Mir. Anni came to his death was made.

Is CIRCUIT COURT VALID?
Movement on Foot i'm Kansas CITY,
Kan, to Test the Question.


Kansas City, Kan. Aug. 13.-It is
rumored here today that movement
is on foot to test the validity of the
which was established at the last spec
iaI session of the Kansas legislature.
Samuel Miller was nominated by
the Republicans at the primaries for
Judge of the circuit court 1t is said
by Miller's supporters that his un-
popularity among the lawyers has
been the instigation of the movement
to abolish the court.
State Senator James F. Getty. who
introduced the bill at the legislature
creating the court, says the court is
constitutional.
John A Hale. a well known Kan
sas City, Kan. lawyer. said that he
believed the court Is unconstitutional.
AS authority for his statement he
cited the case which was decided last
week regarding the new city court at
Chanute, Kan. In this case the court
was held to be unconstitutional on
the ground that the law creating ii
was not effective generally in the
state.
Mr.. Hale said that there were sew
eral ways in which the validity of the
court could be tested Immediately.
One of the ways ne mentioned was
stitute quo warranto proceedings
against the. COURT Another way was
that a person. evpyicted of crime
should begin habeas corpus proceed
ings for his release. II the supreme
court releases the prisoner under such
an action then the court Is invalid
and of no effect.

A RATE DISCUSSION.
Views Are Expressed on Both Sides
of Popular Question.

An interesting discussion of railroad
difficulties has been running in the
columns of a New York financial
paper. and the principal speakers be-
ing F. ]. Lisman sand w. G. Brown
senior vice president of the New York
Central lines. Their views are some
what divergent. 40 sire
1.-The solution of the difficulties
which the RAILROADS. owing to reduced
revenues and, Increased cost of opera
ton. find themselves in Mr.. Lisman
is on record as saying, does not lie in
raising freight rates or reducing
wages, but in economy"
He goes on to say further that the
vast amount of preventable loss on
American railroads is difficult to COM
prehend. and that a reasonable esti-
mate places it at about 100000
for the last year.
"Of course" says Mr.. Brown in
reply, 1.-The operation of railroads has
not reached or approached perfection
but think 1t is fair to say that it as
business of anything like similar
magnitude in this or any other coun-
try.
1.-The traffic of the United States al
most doubled in three days, the in
crease coming in leaps and bounds
taxing the capacity Of every road in
the country to its utmost and resulting
in an almost continuous state of con-
gestion for two and a half years. I'm
der such conditions every energy is
strained to handle the business. and II
would not be strange If some econ
omies were overlooked.
1.-The question Of standardizing the
work has been and is being given the
closest attention by all the large roads
in the country. The transportation
department of the railroads is in the
hands of experts of the very highest
ability and training. and nothing is
left undone to reduce the cost OF
transportation to the very lowest
point. The same is true in regard to
maintenance charges and damage
claims from accidents and it goes
without saying that any practical sug-
gestions which Mr.. Lisman may be
able to make will be welcomed by
every railroad in the country
