by Merriam and
Harrison.

CHICAGO. NJ, March The voA
ers OF Chicago gave the political
bosses body blow. 1t was the city,s
first experiment with the direot prt
mary in a mayoralty contest, and the
independent candidates won over

tons were buried under an avalanche
OF ballots. the vote being the largest
ever polled In local mayoralty con-
test Organization and the enormous
expenditure of money failed to carry
the primaries Tor the political bosses.
Charles r. Merriam, alderman and
former professor at the University OF
Chicago, was nominated by the re-
publicans by q plurality OF $1,000
votes. Carter H. Harrison, Chicago's
four times mayor, was nominated by
the democrats by a plurality Of 5000.
Merriam received nearly as many
votes as the other four republican cam
didates combined.
Murder, stabbing ARRAYS, riots,
numerous arrests and many scenes OF
disorder occurred throughout the
city during the day. Wholesale fraud
and Illegal voting which was ex-
pected was effectively checked by 500
special policemen appointed by Coun-
ty Judge Owens.
The polls had only been open a few
hours when Arthur Quinn, q deputy
sheriff, shot and killed John Getting
ham during quarrel near polling

neen machines, respectively, ran close

Merriam, the republican nominee,
became a prominent figure in Chicago
politics two years ago, when he was
elected alderman from the seventh
ward. He was professor of political
science at the University of Chicago
and as member of the city council
was head Of the so-called Merriam
commissions, which investigated city
expenditures. These inquiries result
ed in a big graft exposure, which re-j
suited in several city officials beings

resign under fire.
Harrison carried Dunne's own ward

votes, against DUNES 1870. Merriam

Express Car Of Iron Mountain Train
ls Looted While Entering the
City Of St. Louis Last
Night.
BY TWO MASKED MEN
Passengers Were Not Disturbed and
Knew Nothing of the Robbery
Until Train Reached
Station.

81. LOUIS, March with the
fearlessness and daring Of old-time
western bandits, two armed and
masked men jumped abroad Iron
Mountain train No. A, entering st.
Louis, on Broadway and the Iron
Mountain tracks at 8 o'clock last
night, and after binding and gagging
the messenger OF the express car at
the point of revolvers, opened the
safe with keys taken from his pockets,
removed the money drawer, ritied it,
and with this and other packages of
value jumped from the train at Tower
Grove Station and disappeared in the
snow and darkness.
The bound messenger, M. M. Nc.
Roberts of 1909 Page avenue. St.
Louis, was left alone in the car after
the robbers escape He twitched and
turned about In an endeavor to loosen
himself and with the bandages still
over his eyes notified the conductor of

place. The train was stopped at
Tower Grove Station and the police
notified. Then the crew hurried the
train to Union station.
The amount tahen in the robbery
could not be estimated late last night
and experts were set to work check
ing up in an endeavor to ascertain
the loss.
The money box and yaluables taken
in the hold-up were in charge OF the
messenger, who was employed ny the
Pacific Express company, which is re-
sponsible for the loss.
The train had come from Texark-
ana, Texas, and most of the passen-
gers were non-residents of st. Louis.
They knew nothing of the robbery I'M
TIL Informed at Union station.
AS soon as Chief of Detectives
Smith heard of the robbery he gave
orders for every detective who report
ed to go to the scene of the robbery,
and within an hour ten detectives
were securing the vicinity of Tower

bandits will be caught, as no other
trains we're passing at the time and
the robbers could not have left St.
Louis.
The men are descriDed at about 5
feet or inches tall and weighing
about 1856 pounds. They wore black
overcoats and black SLOUGH hats, and
had black masks pulled over their
faces almost to their eyes.
H. NJ Glandon, night agent of the
Missouri Pacific railroad at Union
station, last night said the safe which
had been opened and the money box
which had been taken were not the
large ones in the car. There are two
safes, one locked by a combination
which is unknown even to the messen-
ger. This could not be opened except
by the use of steel or dynamite.
The other safe is locked with only
key and contains only money which
is being shipped from one point to an
other along the line. Mr.. Glandon
said he did not believe there could
have been more than a few hundred
dollars in the small money drawer
which was rifled. AS to the packages
taken, they may have contained art
icles or jewelry to the amount of sew
eral thousand dollars.
