More Graft in the
Illinois Central
Charge that Officials Built Fine
Houses Out of Material Stolen
from Company.

CHICAGO, Sept u.-(special TeIegrcm.)-
A new avenue OF graft in the Illinois Cen
trial railroad was opened yesterday when II
was disclosed that some of the officials
involved in the car repair frauds built
luxurious homes at the expense of the
road and almost entirely without cost to
themselves.
Detectives working under the direction OF
William J. Burns found that several fine
residences for officials during the last few
years were built Of materials stolen out.
right from the Illinois Central The con.
tractors did the work free, it is said be-
cause they were interested in Illinois Cen.
trail contracts. Investigation developed this
fact that there was no graft by the con.
tractors, their purpose apparently beins

Admiral Young
is for a Navy Yard
Wants Some Point on the Southern
Coast Designated Where Warships
May Be Handled.

MOBILE. Ala, Sept. 11.-tSpecial Tele-
grant, -Admiral Lucien Young, U. S. NJ
commander of the Pensacola navy yard,
while here gave some very valuable informa-
ton concerning the need of a first class
naval yard on the southern coast, one
capable of repairing the largest of naval
vessels.
There is not a first class navy yard on
the southern coast" said Admiral Young.
when l say that 1 mean a nevy yard
capable of caring for the largest vessel of
the navy afloat
with the completion of the Panama
canal it is imperative that there be a first
class naval yard at some point along the
southern coast line. Pensacola, in my
judgment, is the most logical point.
when It is considered that there are
5000 miles of coast line from Chesapeake
bay TO the Rio Grande controlled by the
south, which is as large as the combined
coast line Of the north Atlantic and the
Pacific and there is not what could bt
termed first class navy yard in that area
the situation is Immediately grasped.
"On the north Atlantic there are frs
class navy yards at Kettery Me-. Boston
Newport, New London, New York. Phila.
delphia, Norfolk and Washington. 1t is w

Labor Situation
Grows Critical
in Great Britain
Four Glasses of Workers Are Involved
and Rank and File Disposed to
Regulate Leaders.

LONDON. Sept. n.-(Special Telegram)
Labor disputes are developing rapidly in
Great Britain. Hitherto the leaders have
generally dominated the course of events,
but a peculiar feature of the present crisis
is that the rank and file are disposed to
regulate the leaders and take affairs into
their own hands. Formerly the danger Of
industrial war was considered to lie in the
spread of organization; now is 1t seen to
spring from the breakdown of organization.
-Four classes of workers are involved.
They are the northern shipbuilders, the
Welsh miners, the employees of the Great
Northern railway and the cotton spinners
Of Manchester, The particular body of
shipbuilders concerned are the boilermakers.
Overthrowing their leaders, they voted two
to one to tear UP the arbitration agreement
in force between them and their employers.
The latter retaliated with q lockout.
The Welsh miners and the Great Northern
railway men are also in revolt against their
leaders and their arbitration agreements.
The situation is almost identical in Man
chester. where the operatives of the Oldham
mill are on strike, and the employers are
declaring that unless consent Is given to
arbitration by next Monday they will de-
clare a general lockout to begin in October.

Accepted.

CHICAGO, Sept ia terse note Of
resignation from the Hamilton club, of
which he had been a member many years,
was the reply made here yesterday by
United States Senator William Lorimer 10
the action of the club president John II.
Batten, in Withdrawing his invitation to
the Roosevelt banquet Thursday night
While Senator Lorimer urged that his
resignation be accepted Immediately, it is
said his friends on the club board of gov
ernors probably will refuse to vote its
acceptance.
The correspondence from President Batten
to Senator Lorimer revealed, 1t was shown
today, that the senator was to have been
one of the guests of honor at the banquet.
This correspondence also showed that 1t
had been the hope of the club to make
the dinner notable as a harmonious oc-
casion at which all factions of the repubIi-
can party could break bread together.
At least three invitations were sent
Lorimer, each urging him to attend the
banquet, and to the last of these he sent
