Road Paid For Fine Homes.

Chicago, Sept. 12.-A new avenue
OF graft in the Illinois Central rail-
road was opened when it was dis
closed that some Of the officials in
volyed in the car repair frauds built
luxurious mansions at the expense of
the road and almost entirely without
cost to themselves. Detectives work
ing on the case found that several
officials had built fine homes during
the last few years. The cement,
brick and other materials are said to
have been stolen outright from the
Illinois Central The contractors did
the work free, 1t Is said, because they
were Interested In Illinois Central

Says There Is Nothing Extraordinary
In Relations With Husband.

Paris, Sept. 12.-Mme. Lima Cava-
lieri.Chanler showed to a correspond
ent cable dispatch she had receiv.
ed from her husband. II read:
"Have seen no one. II is not true.
Work begins. Devoted. Robert"
Nine. Cavalieri said the report of
trouble between herself and her hus-
band came as a bomb to her, al
though she knew what importance
should be attached to stories printed
by the American yellow journals. She
laughed at a report printed here
from New York TO the effect that Mr..
Chanler was trying to annul the set
tlement of 10000 francs he had made
on her az their marriage. She said;
There was nothing strange about
our marriage. 1t was quite American.
1t is nothing extraordinary over there
for a husband and wife to be in diff
ferent countries. l always told Mr..
Chanler | could not live long in
America"

NONAGtNARIAN TAXES BRIDE
Clerk First Issues Him Gunner's
License by Mistake.

Baltimore, Sept. 12.-After siren
uous experience, William Boyd, 90. Of
Stevenson, Baltimore county, married
Mrs. Eliza Ann Daniels, SO. The we'd
ding occurred in the Stevenson
Methodist Episcopal church, which
was crowded to the doors, interest
being heightened by the age of the
bridegroom and peculiar mistake in
the first license.
The clerk Of the court mistook Mr..
Boyd's mission when he applied for a
marriage license and issued gun
ner's license instead The bride
groom-to-be did not discover the
mistake until after he had returned
home. After supper he hiked back
10 town, ten miles from his home,
routed out the clerk and secured a
proper license. He walked both
ways.

Beverly, Mass, Sept. 12.-It is said
here by men who have discussed the
affair with President Taft that the
resignation of Secretary Ballinger
will be forthcoming before the cab
met meeting next week and that
thereafter there will be general
strengthening of administration lines

MAINE TO ELECT
GOVERNOR TODAY
Both Old Parties Full OF
Confidence.
CONGRESSMAN IN DOUBT

Asher p. Kinds, Parliamentary CLERK
to Speaker Cannon. Believed to
Have Clear Field In First District.
Plaisted Claims His Own Election
as Chief Executive by Plurality Of
5000 = New Liquor Law Said to
Have Made Democratic Votes
Augusta, Me-, Sept. 12.-Maine's
most strenuous campaign in over a
quarter of a century is closed and
from conservative standpoint 1t
may be said that the state is in
doubt and that there is a possibility
that one Democratic congressman
may be elected. Although both sides
are confident, even the most san
guine of the Republican leaders
admit that If Governor Fernald is re-
elected, he will not have majority
of more than 1000 or 5000. On the
other hand, Mayor Frederick w.
Plaisted of Augusta, the Democratic
nominee for governor, says that he
will be elected by plurality of FIVE
thousand Governor Fernald was
elected two years ago by plurality
of 1928. The doubtful congressional
district is the Second, where Con-
gressman John p. Swayzie is a can
didate for reelection and is opposed
by Daniel j. McGillicuddy of Lewis
ton.
In the contest Of two years ago,
Mr.. Swayzie had a majority Of about
1,200 over Mr. McGillicuddy and
since that time the Democrats in the
district claim that various matters
have happened to assist him.
II is believed that Asher C. Kinds,
the parliamentary clerk to the speak
er, will be elected in the First dis
trlct over his Democratic opponent,
William NJ. Pennell OF Brunswick. 1t
seems to be the impression that Con-
gressman Edwin c. Burleigh OF Au-
Gusta and Congressman Frank Il.
Guernsey of Dover will be reelected
in the Third and Fourth districts re-
spectively.
Although the passage of the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill and alleged OK.
travagance against the present ad-
ministration have been urged why
Republicans should desert their
ticket, yer there are hundreds of men
who will vote for the Democratic
ticket today owing to the workings
of the Prohibition liquor law. A few
years ago the legislature passed a
law known as the Sturgis bill, which
gave the governor the authority to
send deputies into a county where he
had reason 10 believe that the sheriff
and other officials had not been en-
forcing the law. This law has arous-
ed a number of voters, not because
of its enforcement provisions, but be-
cause of what is termed an infringe
ment against home rule. Byron Boyd,
chairman Of the Republican state
committee, said:
"The state of Maine will today re-
elect Bert M. 'Fernald of West Port
land and all four of the Republican
nominees for congress will be re-
elected. For the past week and es-
pecially during the past few days,
the chances of Republican success
have been growing brighter and
brighter. have never thought that
the state was in doubt and believe
that Maine will continue to remain in
the Republican column, where she be-
longs" Democratic politicians are
equally confident Of Democratic sue
