SHALE ROCK SUSPECTS
DISMISSED BY COURT
Ericsson and Redieske Freed in Chi
CagO Graft Case but Others
Are Not.

Chicago, July 13.-John Ericsson, city
engineer, and Paul Redieske. former
deputy commissioner of public works,
yesterday were held not guilty of the
charge of conspiracy in the "shale
rock" case.
Judge Barnes directed the jury to
return favorable verdicts following
motions to discharge the defendants
made by Attorney Clarence Darrow,
representing Ericsson, and George w
Miller, representing Redieske. The
motions came Immediately after the
state had closed its case.
The other defendants, Contractor NJ

former assistant city engineer, who
certified that $4,000 cubic yards of
'shale rock" had been excavated dur
ing the digging of the Lawrence ave-
nue. sewer, thus emitting McGovern to
extra payments amounting to $4,000
were less fortunate. Motions made
in their behalf to take the case from
the jury were overruled by the court.

BIG MAJORITY FOR
WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE
British House of Commons Passes
Bill to Second Reading but
Shelves 1t There.

London, July 13.-The house of com
mons by a vote of 299 to 100 last night
passed the second reading Of the wo-
mans suffrage bill, for which David
James Shackleton, labor member from
the Clitheroe division of Lancashire,
is sponsor The bill provides for the
granting of the parliamentary fran
chise to women who are possessed of
the property qualification and who
already exercise the franchise in mu
nicipal elections.
The Unexpectedly large majority of
i09 gives an important impetus to
wcmen's suffrage, but many obstacles
must yet be overcome before the prin-
ciple is legalized by the necessary ma
jcrity of 145. The house subsequently
referred the bill to a committee of the
whole, which means that the bill will
be shelved until next year.

STEAMERS ALL TIED UP
Need of a 6-Foot Channel Impressed
Upon All Attending st. Paul
Meeting.

St. Paul, Mimi, July 13.-At today's
session of the Upper Mississippi river
Improvement association Governor
Eberhart encouraged river improve
ment saying that water transporta-
tion meant cheaper freight rates. He
declared that there was strong senti-
ment in favor of river Improvement
and that now is the best time to en-
gage in the work as the river is the
lowest in Al years.
No Water for Excursion.
st. Paul, Mimi, July 13.-The
largest convention the Upper Missfss-
ippi River Improvement association
has ever held will have to forego its
cherished plan of enjoying a steam
boat excursion on the father of wa
ters. Such an outing was decided
on some months ago, but upon con-
vening the members find that there is
so little water IN the big channel at
st. Paul that even the small launches
are having trouble with the bars, and
the big boats are entirely out of COM
mission. While at number of
points there is still clear six-foot
channel. the intervening stretches
where there is practically no water
have made navigation utterly i'm
possible and the excursion boats are
laid up waiting for rains to fill the
river bed again.

its lowest stage. With such a chan
mel, passenger packets would still be
running between St. Paul and St.
Louis, the local river boats would
still be carrying freight and timber
operations would still be in progress.
Instead, the river is out of commits
sion and there are places where the
fish have hardly enough water left
to swim in. This is not because there
is not water enough to make a navi-
gable channel. but because the flow
at this stage is dissipated over a wide
bed instead of occupying channel

ed there is still water enough for
navigation but on the broad flats
which in spring carry the volume of
the rivers enormous floodwater, the
channel broadens out so greatly as
to entirely block navigation and the
frequent sandbars have put the boats
out of commission. The upper river
improvement delegates are discuss
ing plans for channel improvement
and intend to follow the legislation
which guarantees a new six-foot chan
mel in IL years with other plans
which will encourage the construction
of boats of proper type to develop
the water traffic and measures which
will provide at the river ports a con-
venient interchange between water
and rail lines and adequate wharf
and warehouse facilities

Anyone Else Boss State
Talks With Hughes.

Oyster Bay. July 13.-Roosevelt
today gave the first indication of his
position in respect to the nomination
of a republican candidate for COVER
nor of New York this fall. In an
interview he said:
MY position in regard to the gov

Il want to find the best man for
the Office, a man who is most ac-
ceptable to the rank and file of the
republican party and independent
voters. l intend to do everything in
my power to see that such a man is
elected"
Two Events Linked
Roosevelt's indication of his posi-
tion, made less than an hour after
the departure of Governor Hughes,
is taken as a significant sidelight on
the conference between the governor
and the colonel. While both refused
this morning to disclose the precise
subject matter of their conference,
it is believed, from the colonel's at
titude, it was decided Roosevelt
would take an active personal part
in regard to the nomination of a cam
didate for governor.
Roosevelt said he was confident OF
harmony in the party in this state.
Keeps Result secret.
Oyster Bay. July. 12.-No definite
word was received from Sycamore Hill
this morning as to the result OF Gov
ernor Hughes conference with Roose-
welt. Hughes conferred with Roosevelt
last night at Sycamore Hill and spent
the night at the colonel's home. Roose-
welt intimated he might have some
thing 10 say later in the day. Hughes

Charles +. Hughes arrived at Saga
more Hill at $50 o'clock last evening
for the conference with Theodore
Roosevelt, which the former president
requested soon after his arrival in this
country. The two spent the entire ev-
ening together and went over the en-.
tire political situation in the state No
details of the discussion we're permit
ted TO leak out. but from what Colonel
Roosevelt has said it is considered GER
tain that the defeat of the direct nom
nations bill by the republican state or
ganization came in for lengthy consid-
Grafton. Whether the question OF q
republican candidate for governor was
taken up is not known.
Correspondents Left TO Guess.
A delegation of correspondents went
up the hill at o'clock in the hope that
Colonel Roosevelt or the governor
would have something to say after
their talk had been fairly started But
the colonel sent out word that neither
he nor the governor would be inter.
viewed.
Colonel Roosevelt has made IL clear
that he will fight for the direct nomina-
lions bill. and James Wadsworth.
speaker of the state assembly, said
with equal frankness when he called
on the former president in New York
yesterday that this bill was the one
thing which loomed up as a rock in the
