CHICAGO, Sept &C. H. Mark
ham, president of the Illinois Central
Railroad, today took hand in the
conference with the union represen-
tatives in which the men seek TO in
duce the railroad to recognize the
newly organized federation. He ap-
parently was unwilling to recede from
the roads previous stand of treating
only with the representatives. of the
unions involved. At the conclusion
of the conference he issued the fol-
lowing statement:
I'VE had conference with three of
the representatives. of the interna-
tional brotherhoods with which we
have contracts, and they were told
that the officers of the Illinois Central
could not and would not discuss a
new agreement while such contracts
are in existence, and if cancelled it
might be done in the usual formal
manner that has heretofore prevail
ed and for which the contracts pro-
vide and which also stipulates 80
days notice shall be given by either
party of desire to change the terms
Of same. Their attention was called
70 the fact that the Illinois Central
had always lived up to both the let
,er and the spirit of the law of these
contracts, and that it expected it's
as parties to same, will do
likewise"
None of the union officials would
discuss the situation.

IS INVESTIGATING
OFFICIAL BONDS
CAUSES INVESTIGATION
OF LAW.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Sept. 4.--As
result of the recent defalcation in
the coal oil inspectors Office at Men,
phis, Gov. Hooper has addressed let
tiers to the county clerks of the State
calling their attention to the statute
ry duty of each clerk to require a
new bond of the coal oil inspector in
case there is any good reason for do
ing so. The Governor also asks for
information as to the status of the
bond of each coal oil inspector.
On investigation, Coy. Hooper has
found the law relative to coal oil
inspectors in peculiar condition.
The coal oil inspector makes and files
his bond with the county court clerk
of his county, who approves the bond,
but the county court clerk has no
oversight of the Office of coal oil IN
spector. The inspector makes his
reports and RENTS to the comptrol-
Ter, although he is appointed by the
Governor. In other words he is APP
pointed by one person, makes his
bond with another and transacts his
business with third person.

STRICKEN DOWN
In DAWN OF YOUTH
SToDDERT ToMLlNSoN, AFTER
AN ILLNESS OF THREE
YEARS SUCCUMBS.

Stoddert Tomlinson, son of Hon
and Mrs. Jesse Tomlinson, died on
Saturday afte noon at the residence
of his parents, after an illness of
three years. He had returned but a
short time before from the West
where he had been for three years in
search of health. His life had prac-
tically been despaired of for some
time although to the last day he was
cheerful and hopeful.
Mr.. Tomlinson was only twenty
four years of age, having been born
October 6, 1887, but for the past three
years he had been a victim of the
dread white plague. Everything pos
sible was done to stay the ravages
of the disease but without success.
He travelled extensively in the West
and for some time had been in sani-
tariums at Prescott, Arizona, and
Denver, Colo.
No more promising young man has
been stricken down on the thresh-
hold of life than Mr.. Tomlinson. He
was educated at Branham & Hughes
school at Spring Hill, and then attend
ed the University of Nashville, where
he fitted himself for the medical pro-
fession. 1t was while at school that
he contracted the trouble that took
his life and he has been travelling al
most constantly since he left school
in the West.
At the early age of seven Mr.. Tom
linson joined the Presbyterian church
at Culleoka and was a member OF the
Sunday school of that church. He
was devoted member and attended
regularly.
The young man was buried at Hose
Hill cemetery on Sunday afternoon
at 4 o'clock. The funeral sevices be-
ing conducted by Dr. Molloy. The
following were the active pail bear
ers: Ross Burns, w. S. Fleming, Jr.,
Jno. Pigg, Chas. Sloan, Clarence
Joyce, Henry Moore. Honorary: DR..
Robert Pillow, DR.. w P. Woodbridge, |
Judge W. B. Turner, John Latta, Col
Hardy and Col Edgerton.

CONGRESSMAN
HOUSTON HOPEFUL
SAYS DEMOCRATS MADE GOOD
AT SPECIAL SESSION OF
CONGRESS.

! Congressman Houston of the Sixth
District is out in an interview II
which he says;
The Democratic House made
good, to the dismay of the admins
tration, whose only hope for some
time has been that the Democrats
might commit some blunder that
would prevent Democratic success in
1912. They hoped this would be
done at the extra session but. to
their disappointment, the Democratic
House steered clear of breakers, gre
scented a solid front and redeemed
their pledges and kept faith with the
country, while Mr.. Taft and the adj
ministration have been placed in an
attitude utterly inconsistent with
their promises and pretenses.
In 1908 the Republican promised
the country downward revision Of
the tariff. The Republican Congress
violated that promise. Mr.. Taft ad-
mitted they had not rendered the
tariff as the country was led to be-
lieve they would. The Payne tariff
law could not be defended. Mr.. Taft
admitted this and said there should
be downward revision When the
Democrats placed before him the op-
portunity to reduce the rates and
lower the taxes upon the very ar
ticles that he said had indefensible
rates he defeated the reduction by
his veto. He and his party know
that they are pressed to the wall and
they are resorting to the subterfuge
OF claiming that no revision should
be made until report was had t. ON
the Tariff Board. The importance
Of this Tariff Board has been much
magnified in their desperate search
FOR some excuse for defeating the
democratic measures that would
nave lightened the burden of the
taxpayers. 1t should not be forgot
EN- that when this Tariff Board was
provided by Congress the leading Re-
oublicans in the House opposed it |
Ind insisted that it was the province
If Congress alone to formulate and |
,ass tariff laws.
"The excuse of waiting for a report
rom the Tariff Board will not be
aiken by the country. 1t is the only
efuge the protected interests have
low, and the country will not be de-
eived."

SENATOR LAFOlLETT
RATHER HAVE JOB
THAN Be PRESIDENT
SAYS HE WILL HAVE BETTER
PLACE II! HISTORY THAN
SOME MEN.
ira Legislation for a Majority OF
Them Cannot Be Enlisted on the
Wrong Side of Any Question.

WILLIAMS GROVE, Pa, Sept. g.
Senator Robt. NJ. LaFollette, of Wis
consin, speaker of the day at tn,
mass meeting held at this place un
der the auspices of the State Grange
Patrons Of Husbandry, today, Cnl!
casually mentioned the presidenc.
and did not discuss reciprocity ant
other national issues.
The reference to the presidency
was made toward the close of the
Senator's speech. In telling of bat
ties for his principles in his home
State, he said he could have beer
Governor before he was elected if he
had desired the place for the nonol
alone. But" said he, what is it tc
be Governor or President when fol-
the honor of it alone?"
After a pause he continued.
"As to the presidency, l will say
only this: Most anybody would like
to be President. Most anybody who
has a good broad conception of the
conditions that exist in this country
would like to be if he could work
things OUT and bring Government
back to the people of the United
States. | would rather have the lit
tie part I'm going to have, and no.
body on earth can take it away from
me, the little part I'm going to have
as one of the men who help to make
that movement the fundamental
thing in the life of the American
people. l would rather have that
and the place it will give me in his
tory and what there will be as a leg
acy to my children than to have the
place that some men who have been
President will have in the history of
this Republic"
The speaker said the people need
not fear the initiative, referendum or
recall. "They need fear no ultra or
radical legislation" said he. because
you can't enlist a majority of co.
100000 of people in anything unless
1t is right. The American people are
the most conservative on earth
Wisconsin, he asserted, was one
Commonwealth in the Union where
there is government in the interest
of the people. He reviewed railroad
legislation and other subjects con-
nected with its recent political his.
tory and after discussing the refer
endum and recall was about to close
when some one in the audience call.
ed out:
How about the recall of judges?"
TITS just the same for judges as it
Is for any other officials" retorted
the speaker.
