ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS
ACCEPT BRYAN'S NOMINATION
AS A FOREGOING CONCLUSION.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
CHICAGO, February 24.-It sounds like
lese majestic. but the democrats of Illinois
are showing disposition to treat the out
bursts of w. ]. Bryan in the same man
ner in which a firm parent handles the
disturbances made by a petulant child.
They will simply ignore them.
This does not mean that the fifty-four
delegates from the state to the Denver
convention will not be instructed to vote
for MIR. Bryan as the party candidate for
President, first, last and all the time
they will not only be SO instructed. but
the reasons of instructions will be as lau-
datory of the Nebraska leader as though
for. There is no sense in keeping out of
way, and the Illinois democrats regard
Mr.. Bryan as good nominated now.
But, having gone through with this per-
Torrance, the Illinois democrats have de-
termined to handle Illinois matters as
seems to them most proper. This means
they will elect a member of the national
committee who suits them, whether it
suits Mr. Bryan or not.
Roger Sullivan of Chicago. will be on
this program when the members of the ma
tional committee are elected. The fact
that he is the one democrat in Illinois
whom Mr.. Bryan does not want does not
seem to disturb his friends in the least.
They are going ahead as if Illinois demo-
cratic politics was a matter concerning
only Illinois democrats, and what Bryan
might or might not want had nothing to
do with the case.

ANI|-REBA1E Law STANDS
ELKINS ACT NOT REPEALED BY
THE HEPBURN MEASURE.
Decision in Favor of the Government
in the United States Su-
preme Court.

The que stion whether the railroad rate
law, known as the Hepburn act, repeats
section / of the Elkns act, prohibiting
rebates by railroads. was involved in the
case of the Great Northern Railway Com
pany versus the United States, which was
decided today by the Supreme Court of
the United States against the railroad
company and against the contention of
such repeal.
The case was instituted in the United
States district court for the district of
Minnesota, which court fined the railroad
81 900 each for fifteen violations of the
first section of the Elkins law.
The alleged offenses against the law
were committed in the summer of 1903.
and consisted in granting concessions to
the w p Devereux Company on its ship
merlts of oats and corn from Minneapolis,
Mimi. to points in Washington. The COM
pany admitted the concessions and fought
the prosecution on the ground that by
amending the Elkins act so as to provide
for punishment by Imprisonment rather
than by fines the Hepburn law had SO
modified the original law as to accom-
pIish its repeal and render punishment
under il impracticablc. Today's decision
was announced by Justice White, and
affirmed the finding of the district court
and the United States circuit court of ap-
peals.

REPORT OF G. P. 0. INQUIRY
PAPERS TO BE READY FOR
PRESIDENT THIS WEEK.
Speculation Regarding Change in
Head Of Bureau-Some Aspir-
ants Discussed

The report OF William S Rosster COW
ering his investigation into the manage
ment of the government printing Office
will be submitted To the President We'd
nesday Ar Thursday, according to the
statement of an official of the Office today.
Ii was stated also that the matter of Sc
lecting new public printer will be given
consideration at the cabinet meeting to-
morrow, in case the President decides to
displace Mr.. Stillings.
The friends of Mr.. Oscar J. Ricketts,
claim that his name will he one OF the
most prominent to come before the csbi-
net meeting. Ii is urged in his behalf
that he is perfectly familiar with all the
details of the great printing Office from
long experience. and could, therefore.
bring order out of confusion. That he
will not If appointed. endeavor to intro
duce impossible innovations. but will SET
to work restoring the plant to its normal
condition. is another claim of his sup
porters. including many prominent sena-
tors and representatives.
The name OF VIM. r. Turner. printing
clerk of the Senate, Is also being urged
by prominent men. are the names OF
Milo Shanks. Samuel De Nedrey. labor
editor and leader: Capt II. T. Brian
the present deputy public printer: Albert
l.. Cheney. editor of the Oyster Bay
Pilot: Newton ii. Jones of Philadelphia,
and others.
AS already stated in The Star. the pre-
dction is made that a shortage of about
S5oo00 will he found in the running eS-
penses of the Office. and il is ex pected that
Congress will be called upon to make this
good by appropriations. in order that
the big printery will not have 10 shut
down.
1t is also the common belief that the
Rossiter report will recommend a discon-
tinuance of the audit system.
Already two reforms have been made
in the organization of the institution
and ii is logical conclusion that they
will be continued. The first is the dis
placement of the force connected with
the audit systems work, and the sec
ond is the reduction i'm the cost scale
of charges to the executive departments
for public printing.
Still another report II is believed Mr.
Rossiter will recommend is the abolition
of the old-fashioned methods of book
keeping long in vogue I'm the printing Of
flee. The present system of bookkeeping
is said to duplicate itself, and to be espe-
cially cumbersome.

BELT OF FIRE DEPARTMENT.

District business was up before the
House again today, this being the third
successive sitting of the local board of
aldermen. The fubdub that marked Sat
n:day's session Was conspicuous by it's
absence. and consequently all the local
hits on the ca Iendar were hustled out of
ti: way. The fact that Representative
Mann of Illinois. known to contempo-
r.'ueous history as the great objector,'
WIS in the chair most of the tim6 may
b. re had something to do with the smooth
WY in which pending business was
rushed ahead.
The feature of the District session was
the high tribute paid by Representative
Taylor of Ohio. member of the District
c";nmittce, to Chief Engineer William 7.
r. 1t of the fire department, during con-
sideratiOn of Senate bill 1912. which
amends the police and fire department
pension act. Mr.. Taylor explained the
amendment offered by the House District
committee. which provides that when

hale of this, or $1.75O a year, when his
active duties shall cease.

ton TO his duties. For all this long period

that this amendment offered by the COM

That is right said Mr.. Taylor. And
the bill was passed without further dis

Suggestion by Mr.. mcfarland.
Commissioner Macfarland said today he
expected to be at the Union station to
meet the train bearing the remains of
Mr.. Crosby S. Noyes to Washington. and
that he believed many others of his friends
and associates in the civic and patriotic
organizations to which he belonged would
like to do the same honor to his remains,
and he suggested that as many of the
citizens as felt that desire should as
semble at the Union station on that occa-
sion.
At the time that Gov. Shepherds re-
mains were brought back from Mexico to
their final resting place in Rock Creek
cemetery, where the remains of Mr.. Moves
are to lie near those of his old friend and
colleague In the great work of renewing
Washington. large number of citizens
assembled at the station and paid that
mark of respect.
Mr.. Mcfarland suggested that the COM
mittees appointed by the different organi-
cations to attend the funeral of Mr..
Moves might represent those organizations
that later memorial meeting of citizens
would be held to give the community an
opportunity to express it's appreciation of
Mr.. Noyes and its sense of loss at his
death.
