WILL TRY AGAIN.
Three Primary Election Laws Have
Failed in Illinois.

Chicago, June 16.-The primary
law declared unconstitutional by the
state supreme court today, is the
third primary law, which has been
declared invalid by the highest trib-
unal in the state. The law was
passed by the Forty-fifth general as
sembly.
In the workings of the law objec-
ton was made to the cumberous ma
eh1nery which it occasioned and to
the restrictions which were placed on
voters before they were eligible to
participate in the primary. Criticism
was also raised on the powers grant
ed to various committees of the diff
ferent political parties. In political
circles it is considered that the de-
cision will necessitate the calling of q
special session of the legislature this
fal unless new primary act is
placed on the statute books by the
present general assembly.
The next election of representatives
state senators and state officers will
be under the old convention system.
The Independent voters of the state
objected to the present primary law
because under it they were obliged to
declare fealty to one of the political
parties if they desired to vote at the
primaries. Through the action of
supreme court the indictments against
west side politicians in Chicago for
alleged fraud in the primaries last
| August, will fall, it is declared bv
| lawyers conversant with the cases.
! because they are based on sections
| of the law now declared unconstitu-
tiOnal.

SAVED The BABY.
MOtorman Albert Yenke's Cool
ness Is Effective.
Stops Car With Wheels Almost
on Child's Body.
ROLLED OFF FENDER
Little Hazel Barraclaugh Was
Picked Up.
Was So Small That She Went
Through Under Car.

The quick work of Albert Yenke,
motorman on Tenth street car. pre-
vented the death of a 3-year-old BABY
on Kansas avenue at 1880 today. The
car was stopped with the wheels only a
few inches from the body of the child.
Mrs. A. Barraclaugh, of Wamego and
her baby, Hazel, came out of store
and started for a Tenth avenue car.
The motorman had seen her signal. and
would have stopped in about a car
length, bringing the rear step to where
Mrs. Barraclaugh stood. Just at the
moment the front end of the car was
even with them. the little girl ran
around the end of a passing wagon and
directly in front of the car. The fender
scooped her up, the motorman reversed
and damned the brakes, and Mrs. Bar
raclaugh overwhelmingly A crowd
rushed up to help with the mangled re-
mains. A badly scared motorma
dived under the end and brought out g
fearful but uninjured baby. The fender
had performed its duty, but the child
was SO small she rolled through onto
the track beneath. The sudden re-
versal of the car caused the fender t.
tilt with unusual violence.
When an inventory was taken and
the crowd dispersed, the baby was in
better cOnu1t1On Inan her mother
who had suffered a severe nervous
shock upon seeing her little one dis
appear under the car.
Motorman Yenke says that the car
was so nearly stopped when the child
fell onto the fender. that the fender
did not tip back. The baby rolled off
again and under the end of the
fender, which gave it the appearance
of having passed over the body
Yenke says he had easy control OF
the car, as he was prepared to stop
within a car length, but the fact that
he stopped the car within 1 8 inches
after he first saw the child, speaks
we'll for his GOODNESS.

MAKES CHARGES AGAINST CORE
Frank Quinton Says Dog Catcher
Hasn't Treated Him Right.

Frank Quinton came into the police
station this morning leading a big
brown st. Bernard pup about the
size of six bull dogs. He had him
fastened by rope harness and ex-
on because of the size of the head
He who held the leash was madder
than the proverbial wet hen. Mrs. w.
F. Parker whose home is next to
Quinton's at I'LL Harrison last
paid the tax. When she went to
Arkansas in April she gave the dog to
Harold Mr.. Quinton's son, who has
trained it to pull his dog cart. In
order to confine the dog on the
premises it was necessary to put him
in the barn and horse lot as no col
lar. would hold on to his neck to tie
him nor to carry the tax tag.
The dog catcher not long ago came
to Quinton and told him there was no
tax paid on that dog and startled him
with the Information that the dog
belonged to a brother-in-law of his
(Core's) who lived out in Highland
Park. The next night Quinton says
his barn was broken into and the big
dog taken away. Yesterday the dog
came running up to the Quinton
home and laid on the porch until he
was taken in.
Mr.. Quinton tried to leave the dos
in charge. of the police this morning
stating that he did not want to have
anything to do with the negroes. The
police have no dog house and could
not take the dog but they learned
that the dogs tax had been paid
Bruno is the big fellows name and
he is quite oblivious of all the trouble
he is making.

at the doorstep Of the house of Samuel
Taylor near the. tie plant of the Union

in company with a white man whose
name was not learned asked for food at
the house Mrs. Taylor started back
from the door to get them something
and the two men stepped around the
corner of the house. Coming again to
the front the negro seemed sick and
complained of an illness. A chair was
given him but in a moment he fell off
onto the ground.
The police and Coroner Keith were
Immediately telephoned and started
quickly but the negro was dead by the
time they arrived. The dead mans
clothes were searched and a bottle
marked carbolic acid was found in his
pocket. He had evidently drunk the
poison around the corner of the house.
The white man was reported by the
Taylors to have walked on west after
asking the way to Rossville. He is
said to have staggered and a suicide
T compact was supposed to have been
