noon hour and started for row above

is nearly half a mile wide, and when the
two craft had reached the centre it was
leak. The boats were then pulled to-
gether by. the young men in. the party
and an effort was made TO transfer the
girls from the leaky boat to the safer
craft. The last one of the party had
scarcely set foot in the boat when it be-

The girls were helpless to save them

women had succeeded in reaching land.
He had no sooner gained the bank imam
he noticed the girls hanging to the rap

the water and swan swiftly to the
water-f filled craft: Only two of the girls
were clinging to the boat when he
reached it, the others having gone down
for the last time. Selling Miss Daven-
mort. Minnieh again started for the shore,
but the exertion was too much for him.
and the two sank together within a
stones throw Of the bank
When the boat spr&ng the leak there
was no excitement among the members
of the party. but as soon as the sound
craft began to fill with water apparently
every member of the party became terror
stricken. The shrieks of the drowning
girls could be heard on the bank. but
there was no one near.

sive opponents in the Second district.
Returns were exceptionally meagre
but the first few precincts showed a
close race.
The Lorimer democratics, who made
his election to the senate possible,
were in nearly every instance renOm-
mated. The "standpatters" and pro-
gressives split even in the eleventh
and thirteenth districts. John G. Nc

in the thirteenth district by the re-
publicans, while in the eleventh, Geo.
O. Conn, Jr., who opposed a progress.

unopposed, so comparison of his

the previous election are valueless.

! who believed that because of his
standing as an educator ne would
make an unusually strong candidate.
Wilson was nominated on the first
ballot.
The platform adopted was in line
with the democratic platform of three
years ago, except that 1t was more
specific in the advocacy of reform
measures, including the comforting OF
rate making power upon the present
public utilities commission.
DR.. Wilson, after his nomination,
came before the convention, accepted
the nomination and made an address.
After discussing the platform, Mr..
Wilson said:
There are three great questions be.
fore the people-reorganizat ana
economy in administration, equallza.
ton of taxation, and the control OF
corporations.
"Other important questions are the
proper liability of employers, the ques-
ton of corrupt practices in elections
and the question of conservation.
Our system of government should
not be unnecessarily complicated and
elaborate, and there should not be ne
cessarily too many separate commits
sions and boards"
Discussing the question of corpora
tions, the speaker said: "Corporations
should not be favored in the matter
of taxation. The power OF regulate
taxation and Tx rates should be vest
ed in a public utility commission. The
regulation of corporations is much
more the duty of, the state than OF
the federal government
In concluding his speech, DIR. VIII
| son said: "lhe playing of politics is
to be deprecated. Measures having
for their object the betterment OF our
conditions should be conceived in the
largest spirit and urged by leaders
| who are statesmen and not dema'
gogues."

three months, states that the pope's
health is not good.
1t is also said that the consistory
so long heralded will not be held for
the present This indeterminate post
ponement is attributed, the story In

Under the sequence of events, 1t is

1t is said tn pope feels that the
next consistory he will hold must be
his last, although no reason is given
for this belief.
The pope has held only four con-
sistories since his accession to the
pontificate, the last nearly three years
ago. This period is unusual, prelates
say, especially with the frequently in
creasing vacancies through death in
the college of Cardinals.
The next consistory is the one which
is supposed to bring the red hat to
one of the noted American prelates
mentioned for the honor.

CORPORATION that is memebr OF the
Illinois Manufacturers association will
be able to sell any of its products to
a half dozen of railroads that were
represented at the investigation. Such
firms will soon learn if there is not q
change in the plan, that when it comes
to selling things to the railroads they
will be orgotten-dropped from the
list of eligible bidders.
In partial defense of this action. it
is pointed out by the railroad men
that a large percentage of the mem
bership of the association is made up
of railway supply houses and 1t IL
estimated that fully forty per cent OF
the membership has business dealings
with the railroads as sellers OF MANI
featured products. An effort will be
made to have the movement gen.
eral one, so that should the assoclar
tion see fit to bunch it's traffic on cer-
tin lines, it will have no effect with
the railroads.
1t Is also stated that the boycott
Is to extend to every member OF the
association, but it cannot be made so
effective, of course, against those who
are not in the railway supply business.
Nevertheless the word has gone out
, that in the future every member OF
the association will be regarded az
on the unfriendly list and SO far az
they are able to do so, their officials
will make it difficult for them to do
business with any houses from which
the railroads are purchasers.

Special TO The Tribune
New York. Sept. IA policy OF
retaliation against the Illinois Manu-
facturers' association that will amount
to business boycott of all its mem
bers is being formed by the railroads
of the country This fact became
known here when several eastern and
western railroads and one or two men
high in eastern financial circles en-
gagged in secret and thorough dis
cussion of the attack which the asso-
citation has made aaginst the rail-
roads before the interstate commerce
com mission in the increased freight
rate investigation.
Nothing that has happened in re-
cent years has so aroused the 1ndig-
nation and animosity of the railroad
men as the charges that were filed
against the railroads on Monday by
IN. Duff Hainie, representing the
association. The attack, it Is stated
is the elimination of many similar
though minor attacks that have been
made fro .ntime to time by the same
association. The railroad men gener'
ally would not admit that boycott
is being organized against the mem
bers of the association, and it is not
likely that the move will take the
form of an outspoken declaration OF
war.
