They are Adolph Cheffer and Fred L.

the system of drawing veniremen as

''It is a frightful commentary on
the conditions in our courts" he

WARRANTS OUT
FOR THREE IN
|. C. CRAFT CASE

Chicago, Aug 19.-On complaint of
President Harahan, of the Illinois Gen.
tral, warrants were sworn out today
against three former officials of the
road, charging them with obtaining
money by means of confidence games.
Those named are: Frank B. Harri-
man, Charles L. Ewing and John NJ.
Taylor. The warrants were based on
alleged information obtained by de-
tectives employed in the so-called mil
lion dollar car repair graft.
Hartman was formerly general
manager of the road; Ewing was su-
perintendent of the lines north of the
Ohio river and Taylor was superin-
tendent of stores.
1t is said there will be several con-
fessions In the graft cases. A new
line OF inquiry may be opened up
outside the alleged car repair swim
dies. Huge sums are said to have
been obtained illegally in new con-
struction work.
Hartman and Ewing were arrest
ed this afternoon. Their bonds were
fixed at $4,000 each.

is NOT SCARED
OUT OF COURSE
Cannon Declares He Will Again
Be Candidate for Speaker
of Congress.
SCORNS BEVERLY THUNDER
All He Asks is That His Enemies
Agree to Abide by the Decision
of the Party Caucus.

Danville, ILL.,, Aug 19-Joseph G.
Cannon will continue in the speaker
ship race despite Congressman Long
worth's declaration of opposition.
Mr.. Cannon declared himself last
night in a statement for publication.
He will go into the caucus as a candi-
date mo matter how many republican
congressman assert they will oppose
his reelection. All he asks is that
those who go into the caucus abide by
its vote and he promises to do the
same.
Mr.. Cannon does not ask any man to
pledge himself to vote for his re-elec-
tion if he believes that pledge will be
a handicap in the election this fall
nor does he want any candidate for the
republican nomination for congress to
repudiate his party by failure to enter
the caucus.
Speaker Dictates Statement.
Following the reply made to Mr..
Longworth early in the afternoon Mr..
Cannon supplemented it with the fol
lowing statement dictated in the even
ing:
THE legislation enacted and the
record made by the republican party
during the eight years l have been
speaker speaks for itself. l have con-
tributed what could toward the enact
ment of that legislation. l have CO
operated with the republican majority
in congress in the effort to put on the
statute books the policies of the party
and have no apology to make for the
part 1 have taken in the legislative
council of the nation.
I'm the present campaign, so far as
am concerned, I shah do what | can
to bring about the election of repub-
lican house of representatives in the
61st congress, and without a republi-
can majority in the next house there
will be no republican speaker.
I'm the event of my reelection as a
member of the house l shall attend
and abide by the action of the repub-
lican caucus and, from his statement,
Mr.. Longwortr wf1l do the same, as
will every republican member OF the
house.
Has No Quarrel with LOngwOrth.
Therefore, l have no quarrel with
Representative Longworth as TO who
shall be speaker of the next house of
representatives, and there is no room
for disagreement touching this mat
ter between Mr. Longworth and my
self.
"If any republican candidate for con-
gress feels that his position as a can
didate on the republican ticket would
be strengthened by pledging that he
will not support me in a republican
caucus have no objection to his max
ing the pledge. The only thought l
would offer as to the republicanism of
candidates for congress is: Will he, If
elected. attend the republican caucus
and abide the same in the organiza-
ton of the house and in the enactment
of legislation in pursuance of repub-
lican policies?"
