BULLETS FOR THE SOLDIERS
Two Patrols Fired on from Ambush,
but No One Injured.

Scattered sections of the city were
in an uproar at different times during
the early hours of Tuesday. Harvard
park was again the storm center.
Twice patrols were fired upon in that
vicinity, but in neither case was any
one injured. Over in the western end
of town, in the vicinity of the state
house and arsenal, there were seyeral
cases of revolver firing by rowdies.
The marauders travelled in groups of
two or three, obeying the orders of mi
litia patrols to keep moving, but as
soon as they were well passed the
groups. of soldiers they drew revolv-
ers. fred into the air and fed down side
streets, escaping in the darkness.
Two small fires, apparently not con
nected with the rioting, added to the
excitement and served to brighten the
timid residents. As a consequence calls
for troops were frequent and the mill
tia had hard night.
A second attack was made on the
militia from ambush from Fourteenth
and Edward streets at midnight. Lieu
tenant Case and two privates of COM
pany A. Fourth infantry, were fired
upon, the bullets kicking up the dust
at their feet. Company e, Of the First
infantry, was sent to the place, and as
this detachment was about to return
to headquarters another shot was
fred. the missile striking the scabbord
of Lieutenant RidgeWay. No one was
injured and no arrests were made.
Governor Deneen states that upon
proper requisition from the Kankakee
authorities Private Joseph B. Klein.
Co. A, FIRST infantry. who killed Earl
Nelson, at Kankakee, Saturday last,
will be turned over to the civil authori-
ties.

NEW CAMPAIGN WAYS.
La7Cs Governing Contributions Make
Radical Changes.

The laws governing campaign subscriptions
together with the financial depression for the last
twelve months. have wrought radical change in
campaign methods AS a result the Republican
National Committee instead of providing money
for the various state committees is now asking for
assistance from the state committees
Chairman Hitchcock said yesterday that the state
charmen visiting the headquarters had refused at
first to believe the statement that the national
committee could not raise money as 1t used to- be-
cause the chairman had determined, after con-
sutation with his advisory committee, strictly 10
obey the law. They looked incredulous' ana
went away believing that the chairman would send
word later that the committee had raised little
money and that they could come around ana get
some the same in former years Chairman
Hitchcock said that at last the state leaders had
accepted his statement fact. and that they
we're shaping the campaign in their states in &C.
cordance with the new conditions.
Not only has the new law prevented corporations
from giving money, but its publicity features seem
to have deferred many loyal Republicans who dis
like notoriety from making the small subscriptions
they would really like to give.
It was said at headquarters that Secretary Root
was in this city on Wednesday. and that he called
on Chairman Hitchcock at the Hotel Manhattan.
He had no appointment with Mr.. Hitchcock. but
the national chairman talked for some time with
Secretary Root, principally on the subject or the
speeches Mr.. Root is to make In this state MI
Hitchcock invited Mr.. Root TO national headouar-
such members OF the executive committee as were
in the city. Mr.. Root went to headquarters later
in the day.
Mr. Hitchcock said he had not been summoned
to Washington. but was obliged TO go there for
personal reasons, political reasons aside. The ma
tional chairman said he probably would be I'M
able to get to Washington this week, as he will
leave here for Chicago Sunday, but that next
week he probably would be in Washington

respects to Chairman Hitchcock Business brought
him to the city early in the week. He said he had

the President had expressed great satisfaction over
the work accomplished by Mr.. Hitchcock.
