FROM ILLINOIS CENTRAL
Employees of Railroad Com pany Were in the Pay of Plundering Car Repair Concerns. How the Books Were "Doctored."

Chicago. Sept. 12.-The hearing of the Illinois Central car repair fraud case in the municipal court developed sensational testimony today. Evidence that tended to show that the employees of the railroad company were paid by the Ostermann Manufacturing com pany and the Blue Island Car & Equip ment company was introduced by the prosecution.
 John F. Considine, a former employe of the railroad, and later general fore man of the Blue Island concern, testi- fled that he went to work for the Blue Island Car & Equipment company in August, 1907, and was placed Tn charge of a force of eighty car repairers.
 While in the employ of the Blue Island company, did you pay any of the mOney?" Considine was asked.
 Yes"
 ITO whom did you pay the money. and in which amount?"
 ''I paid Paul Kovelaski, car in spectOr. s10 on several occasions, and later when KOyelaski was succeeded at Blue Island by Richard Roth and John Strain, inspectors, I paid them s2O a week in cash
 COnsidine then said that a desk be- longing to the Illinois Central inspect ors at the Blue Island plant was brok- en open by officials of the car repair company, and that two books of repair checks or records, were destroyed. Richard Roth cOrrobOrated Considine's evidence regarding the destruction of the record books. He further testified that officials of the repair companies had access to the books and that the books were frequently "doctOred."
 "One day President Niles of the Blue Island company, came to me and asked to see my books" said Roth T told him l could not let him see them. I said he would have to get permission from some of my superiOrs. He then called up Mir. Taylor and later I was called on the telephone by MT. Taylor and ordered to give the books to President Niles When the books had been returned to me, numerous entries had been changed"
 The MT. Taylor" referred to, Roth explained, was John NJ Taylor. the general storekeeper for the Illinois Central. and now a defendant in the graft case.

WHY IT HAPPENED.
The Numerous Causes an Unbreak-
 able Combination.

The causes of the catastrophe were many and though the result could not be accurately predicted, it was feared from the beginning It was an uphill fight for the republicans from the out set and they knew that they had to contend with the overwhelming popu- lar sentiment in favor of direct legis- lation wherever it is presented to a community for the first time. So many elements of people favored the doctrine. Many good, intelligent citi- zens saw fin it a means of reform. Every demagogue favored it and so and every populist and agitator Every man who had grievance of any character thought he saw relief in the initiative. referendum and recall; every man who wanted a job thought direct legisla- ton would give 1t to him and every man who wanted anything he did not

ARIZONA ACCEPTS RISK OF LOSING STATEHOOD
THE CALAMlTOUS EVENT.
1t Was More Than Had Been Hoped
 or Feared.

IL seemed at first it was one of the landslides you read about but do not see every day It appeared to surpass the worst fears of the republicans and the highest eXpecta- tions of the democrats. The fOrego- ing is a more or less thinly yelled allusion to the events of yesterday.
 The entire democratic ticket of can didates for the constitutional conven- ton was elected by an average maj ority of not less than 300 In the city where the democrats had con- ceded. the republican ticket a majority of not less than 150 and the republi- cans felt reasonably certain of not less than 250, the democrats carried every precinct except the fourth ward and received a majority in the whole town of more than 100
 The returns from the country pre- cincts began coming in early and showed a greatly increased democratic vote over that of two years ago. The rush received a slight check when Tempe was heard from. showing that the republicans had gained there and that Peters had probably received heavier majority than had ever been received by a cadidate in that pre- cinct But from all other sources the flood rose higher and higher through out the night.
 In the meantime news began Altering in from other points in the territory. showing that the disaster had not been localized in Maricopa county; that the contagiOn was fierce and

 had an early premonition that some thing was going wrong. The democra- tic vote came with a rush immediate ly the polls were opened and continued we'll along into the forenoon, broken now and then by small influx of re- publican votes. little later the heavier republican vote came in and hope was renewed but did not become so acute that it was thought neces- sary to summon a physician
 Contrary to expectations there was little disorder at the polls. There was none at all in the second and fourth wards of Phoenix but in the first Barney Kersting. the ticket taker, be- gan inspecting the ballots to see that folks were voting right and J. w. Canning, the edmocratic challenger, created some disturbance by question ing the right of old republican resi- dents to vote at all.
 In the third ward the election marshal for while labored un- a state of war and. armed with pistol and club, he was prepared to reduce the enemy to subjection.
 There had been rumors that the democrats had fixed up challenge list of 300 and that the election boards would sustain the challengers to that amount. The list was said to contain mostly the names of Mexicans and a group of negroes all estimated from 75 to 15O. But after there was compara- lively little challenging; that is little, in comparison with what was eX- pected.
 Where challenges were offered in the cases of persons entitled to vote, the voters were taken before Judge Kent and he, being satisfied as to their rights, issued writs of manda- mus. The mandamus was invoked in the case of a couple of Chinamen. na- tives of this country. They had been properly registered by the registra- ton officers but in the recorders of flee their names had been omitted on the mistaken theory that in no cir cumstances could a Chinaman be an American citizen. But two of them, whose cases were taken before the court, voted
 THE VOTE WAS HEAVY.
 It was early seen that the vote was going to be heavy one and when the polls closed and it was found that 2052 votes had been cast in Phoenix, the republican hope was renewed again. This vote was divided as fol- lows: First ward. 673; second ward. 554; third ward, 475; fourth ward, 345.
 But when the sorting out of the ballots began, the early fear of the morning that something was the mat ter with Phoenix began to be con- firmed The democratic piles of straight tickets began to loom up far above the republican stacks. There was still grain of hope. It was sup posed and the supposition. proved to be a fact that the republicans had voted the most of the mixed tickets. The count of the mixed tickets gener- ally reduced the majorities shown by the straight ballots, but it did not re- duce them far enough to change re- suits or to furnish much satisfaction One of the surprises was the small labor party vote which the leaders had stated would reach 700.
