Chicago, April 6.-Elections in 2s0 Il
llnois cities and towns yesterday on the
saloon issue show decided reversal of
the vote of two years ago, and, If any
thing, indicate a marked tendency to re-
turn to the wet" column.
Springfield voted for saloons by a ma
jority of lbs, which is a reduction of
800 from the result two years ago.
Rockford, the largest city in the Middle
West without saloons. was won back by
the liquor men by a small majority.
Decatur, Dixon, DeKalb. and Belvidere
were a few of the other places where the
dry" victories of two years ago were
nulllfed. and the "drys" failed to gain
entrance TO such cities as Danville, Au-
rora, Joliet. and Bloomington.
Galesburg remained dry, but the ma
jority was much less than it was at the
previous election. Rock Island and Mo-
line are wet" by smaller majorities
Elgin remains wet" and Batavia and
Geneva got off the water wagon" Re
turns received so far indicate that thirty
nine towns and cities that previously had
been dry, voted wet" nineteen wet
towns voted dry" seventy-two wet"

If the Commissioners do not know

He reviewed the record Of the public

system when it was under control Of the
Commissioners. asserting that Congress
took the matter Of public education out
OF their hands because they had made
failure Of it.

and charged that if the schools are again

chaos will result.
The action Of the Commissioners inafa-
vorably recommending the Peters bill for
the abolition OF the board Of education
and Board OF Charities was not mentioned
until the end OF an unusually long meet
ing, when Capt oyster asked the trus-
tees to allow him a few words, and ad-
journed the board as soon as he had
finished speaking, without giving them
a chance TO take action.

THE figures Of the Commissioners are
ridiculous and inaccurate. They say ex-

But with Mr.. Patten gone cotton IN

Insurance Investigation Comes Close
to Involving Albany.


New York. April 6.-When Superinten-
dent Of Insurance Hotchklss resumed his
investigation this afternoon, he sought
to put James w. Cunningham In the wit
ness chair.
Mr.. Cunningham was for some years a
member Of the brokerage firm Of Filing
wood & Cunningham. In 1904 the firm
failed. His lawyer. John B. stanchfeld,
had accompanied him into the room, and
objected to his examination on the
grounds OF no jurisdiction.
M-. Hotchkiss took up volumes of the
report of the WINS Interborough inves-
t!gation. and read something Of the ex-
animation of Lemuel Ely Quigg. This
was for the purpose OF establishing the
fact that the Mr.. Rogers under consid-
Grafton, the former special partner in the
firm Of Ellingwood & Cunningham, was
the Mr. Rogers Mr.. Quigg had met in
Albany at a time when Mr. Rogers ap-
peared TO be interested in legislation al
fecting street railways Then the exam
iner asked the witness, Did you ever
have anything to do with street railway
legislation" He said he never had had.
All efforts TO draw out the facts were
blocked by Mr.. Stanchfield till adjourn
ment.
The brokers' books in the possession of
Hotchkiss show that from 1900 to 1904
thirteen Republican Senator's and As
semblymen, members Of the most import
ant committees in the legislature, gambled
In stocks on very heavy scale through
that firm, and that seven Of these men
received large sums from G. Tracy
Rogers, special partner Of that firm
and legislative representative in Albany
OF the street railway interests of New
York State.
