Chicago. oct. -2O.-At the annual meet
ing of stockholders of the Illinois Cen
tral Railroad Company held here to-
day, Chicago's plea for the use of cleo
tric power in the roads terminals here
was refused. The city replied at once
with the draft of an ordinance COM
peIIing the electric work to begin within
six months
The reasons as announced by Presi-
dent J. T. HaTshan for rejection of the
electric power scheme were as follows
That the art OF electrifcatiOn of steam
railroad terminals has not yet passed
beyond the experimental stage.
That the large expense entaiIed by the
proposed change of motive power.
coupled with interest charges and de-
preeiatiOn. makes the project inadvis-
able
That the elimination OF smoke can be
obtained by other means than eIectrihca-
tiOn.
That the undertaking. 20 be carried
out successfully. would require con-
,erted action by all railroads entering
Chicago.

RIFLE PRACTICE
URGED IN SCHOOLS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. T.
What are the schools. colleges and
universities of the United States doing
in the way of military training for the
American youth? is question IN
which the war department is greatly
interested. Approximately 100 institu-
tons of learning have attached to
them army officers on either the ac-
tive Or retired list. During 1908 the
department went to much trouble to
ascertain what was being accomplished
by these officers and how far they
were being assisted by the faculties of
the institutions they were serving. Re-
ports were received from each of the
officers detailed and each institution
was inspected by officers assigned to
this duty. In addition statistics were
compiled in respect to the government
aid enjoyed by certain colleges. so that
the whole gives the general staff a

times that their gallant champion viii
be able to defeat the greatest light
weight fighter Of all the Americas"
That's what Britt writes enthusiastic
cally to New York friends in regard to
the chances for picking up easy money
in England and France, and it is like
~ that he will get a considerable part
Of the coin which was left after ex-
champion Tommy Burns had finished
the process of shaking down the Brit
lsh and French sports.
Broadway sports are still talking
about the heavyweight championship
and hoping that some white man will
appear who can grab the title from
the big smoke With Jeffries out OF
the game, the outlook for a white
champion in the near future is not
promising. And while it may be lese
majesty to say it, there are some New
York sports who entertain doubts
whether Jeffries could now come back
10 his old form to an extent that
would enable him to whip Johnson.
About the biggest joke of all is the
c,A'ienge of Philadelphia Jack
oBrien to fight Johnson for the

very fair idea of just what the gov
eminent is getting in the shape OF
military training in return for what IL
is doing for these institutions of learn
ing.
The details of the inspections Will
not be made public but the general
staff will probably have something to
say on the subject when the reports
are thoroughly digested. Most of the
colleges and universities receiving
government aid pay attention to their
military department but very few are
equipped for rifle practice on which
the department is growing more in
sistent. Again and again the inspec-
tors report the absence OF rifle
ranges out of doors and the poor ia
cilities for indoor practice as we'll as
the antiquated equipment of rifles with
which the students are supplied. AS
an example Of the conditions prevail
ing the case of a southern college may
be cited. The institution receives an
annual appropriation Of ISL, JAG. 1t has
no gallery range, but has an out door
range available at 200 and 800 yards,
but has only one target for it's $40

legislature were L. Ert Slack, of
Haute, and former Congressman B. F.
Shively, of South Bend. Thomas Tag
CART, former chairman of the demo-
cratic national chairman of the demo-
cratic national committee, was alsb
talked of for the place, but voluntari-
ly retired from the rade.
The supporters of some Of the can
didates are taking the position that
Mr. Kern was sufficiently honored
when he was given the vice presiden-
tial nomination. and. on the other hand,
Mr.. Kern's friends are asserting that
his acceptance of that nomina ton
amounted to a sacrifice which entities
him to receive the senatorial toga.
Slack is a young man and is making
an active fight for the place One of
his qualifications, according to gossip
of the contest, is that he looks, acts
and talks like Senator Beveridge." AS
Beveridge is a popular idol in his state
and we'll thought of by democrats, this
is regarded as an asset.
Whether the county option law
now in effect in Indiana shall be re-
pealed is another matter that is large
ly occupying the attention of the
Hoosier lawmakers. The liquor ques-
ton was one of the issues of the cam
paign. Governor Hanly, the present re-
publican chief executive, was alleged
to favor state wide prohibition and
the county option law was regarded by
the liquor interests as an opening
wedge for complete prohibition.
Republicans Of the house present
practically a solid front against the
repeal of the law and it is said that
not more than three or four of the re-
publican representatives will vote to
repeal the law. In fact, it is said, the
republicans are almost willing to pledge
that if the democrats can muster IA
votes in the house the county option
law will remain intact, so far as that
branch of the legislature is concerned.
The county option law was passed
at special session of the Legislature,
called by Governor Hanly shortly be-
fore the election, and at that time only
four republicans of the households,
Schroeder, Condo and Keller-voted
Schroeder is a member of the present
house 1t is taken for granted that
Schroeder will vote for the repeal of
the law.
+ 1t is not believed that more than
three others will favor the repeal Re-
publican friends of the law estimate
that they will have thirty-six votes
Ethat will remain firm for the option
law Therefore if they can get IA dem
ocratic votes, county option is safe I'M
less it shall be molested by the senate.

heavyweight championship. If such n
match should be made, it would be a
safe wager that O'Brien would not be
able to last two rounds if the negro
was in good condition. O'Brlen has a
prospective scrap with Al Kubiak, the
Michigan heavyweight, for six rounds
at Philadelphia. Since Willie, the Chi
cago heavyweight, defeated the Mich
igan wonder with one hand, OBricn
is playing safe. That is popularity Of
his'n. If Johnson should appear in
Philadelphia and look cross eyed at
philadelphia jack, it is likely that
O'Brien would break all Marathon rec
ords in getting away from there.
Another challenger is Robert Fitz-
simmons and this must also excite the
visibility of all followers of the game.
F'itz must have short memory or he
would not be talking about a match
with the negro. However, Bob" is over
in London, and it does no harm to talk
at such a distance.
Gus Rubin is another of the old
timers who has come out with def
to Johnson. Gus still thinks he has
a fight in him, although he would
probably find it difficult to make any
promoter believe that he would be a
drawing card. The big German says
that if he can't get a match with the
black, he will take on Tom Sharkey.
Surely. the bones in the pugilistic GEM
,etery are doing a lot of rafting these
days.

GOMPERS CASE WILL
BE LEFT TO TAFT

NEW YORK, Jan. THAT the Taft
and not the Roosevelt administration
viii have to wrestle with the, case of
Samuel Gompers, John Mitchen and
Frank Morrison, sentenced to jail by
Judge d. II. Wright for contempt in
the boycott suit of the Buck Stove &
Range company is believed here.
Those who side with Mr.. GOmperS,
including many democratic representa-
tives in congress, who have talked
freely since the decision of Judge
Wright was rendered, appear to be
confident that the decision will be re-
versed. Most of the talk Of committing
the sentences comes from republicans,
who fear that the labor leaders Will be
strenzthened in the rank and file uf
labor by being made martyrs to their
cause.
Friends of Judge Wright say he is a
great admirer of the president and the
president knows it. 1t is furtherm re
asserted that Judge Wright has so
closely followed the policies advocated
by the president that should Mr..
Roosevelt find q way to sweep his de-
cisiCn aside and pardon the labor lead
ers it would be poor repayment for
services rendered by Judge Wright in
the Roosevelt harness." so to speak.
Many of those who were in doubt as
to the legality of the decision enter
tain doubts no longer and it is said
that Judge Wright has clarified many
subtle technicalities of the law to par
ticular friends and acqua intances who
have been at sea and have asked him
to strai2hten matters out Visitors to
Judge Wright's Office in the city hall
have been shown statutes sac TO make
his position unassailable in the higher
courts. and have generally come out
satisfied that there will be no re-
versal of the decision.
On the other hand, however, the
hotel Hobbies and club rooms are buz
Zing with gossip aus to the probable
political effect of the severity of tbs
decision. and supporters of Mr.. Comp
ers are many who claim that union
labor has been dealt SO severe a blow
| that it must rise to the emergency TIC
protect its very existence: that Messrs
Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison have
been denied their constitutional rights
and that there will be no means OF
avoiding a breach between the Taft
administration and organized labor ex-
cept by the prompt reversal of Judge
| Wright's decision, reinforced by as
surances that no similar action will be
taken in the future.
