STARTING WAR
Twenty-eight Orders Meet
to Plan Defeat of Mobile
Insurance Bill.

Chicago. Oct. 2.-Representatives
Of twenty-eight fraternal insurance
societies. who have been holding
meetings here to formulate plans to
effect the repeal Of what is commonly
called the Mobile insurance bill. to-
day completed an organization which
will be given charge Of the work. 1t
Is expected that the work Of the dele
gates will be completed tomorrow.
The new organization at once will
begin an active campaign for the re-
peal of the Mobile bill in those states
in which it already has become a law
through legislative act and also to
prevent it becoming a law in the 9TH
er states. The section of the law to
which exception is taken has for its
object the compelling Of fraternal in
surance societies which have a death
benefit to accumulate a reserve fund
just as are the large life insurance
companies
A legislative committee was ap-
pointed and given full power to take
such steps as 1t may deem proper to
accomplish the objects of the new
association. They are: Richard B.
Tippett. Catholic Benevolent Legion,
president. and Walter Allen Rice, Or

The drivers are scheduled to rac.

DePlma and Tetzlaff were favor
ties in the betting before the start
of the hard grind. The crisp fall
weather and track demonstrated to
be lightning fast indicated the possi-
h.iity that Mulfords record of seven

Tor last years Vanderbilt might be
eclipsed.
The killing of David Bruce Brown
OF New York during yesterdays tun-
:rg up trials. at once renewed the
hostility toward the course exhibited
ten days ago when the race program
was postponed.
Several of the drivers insisted that
the course was too narrow, the road
bed not sufficiently ''matured" and
that 1t held unsuspected soft spots
which might cause a hazardous spill
az any time.

powered Fiat car at 30 miles an hour

TOO MUCH SPEED
Cause Of Many Railroad Accidents is
Demand for Excessive Speed.


Demand for Excessive Speed.
Milwaukee. Oct. 2.-Chief interest
in today's opening session Of the CO.
operative safety congress centered in
an address prepared by Charles c.
McChord, member of the interstate
commerce commission dealing with
what has been accomplished and what
is needed to insure safety on rail-
roads.
Excessive speed as afactor in
train accidents deserves serious con-
sideration." said Mr. McChord. "a
number Of derailments investigated
were directly due to speed too high
for the existing conditions Of track
or road bed and in several cases COL
lisions high speed was an important
factor.
Failure Of railway oficials to de-
termine with scientific accuracy the
limits Of safety, especially with re-
spect to speed on curves, no doubt
has led to many derailments. There
is urgent need Of accurate information
on this subject 1t is apparent that
both collisions and derailments can
be reduced the introduction Of
adequate measures for the enforce
ment of speed restrictions where con-
ditions demand It,"

INDIANA FIGHT
WILL Be CLOSE
Contest Appears to be Be-
tween Wilson and
Roosevelt.

Indianapolis. Oct. 2.-Unless there
is greater political revolution in In
diana than the polls now indicate
Gov. Woodrow Wilson and Gov
Thomas r. Marshall will carry the
state by comfortable plurality, but
the campaign is not going to be the
walkaway that the democratic lead
ers anticipated when the republican
party split at Chicago last June.
The secret straw vote now being
conducted throughout the state by the
Cincinnati Enquirer shows that Col.
Roosevelt Is running second. and that
President Taft is not as good a third
as his friends had expected.
On the state ticket Albert j. Bev-
eridge, bull moose nominee for gover-
nor. seems to be making whirlwind
compaign. He is drawing big crowds
at his meetings. The reports indicate
than both of his opponents-Samuel
M. Ralston. democrat. and Col. Win
field T. Durbin. republican.
The Enquirer straw vote shows that
Beveridge is running ahead Of Roose.
velt, and that he is very close up to
Gov. Wilson. While the outlook now
is that Wilson and Marshall will win
in Indiana. the Indications are that
the democrats may have a hard time
has been to on Ralston, but the
odds are shifting and Beveridge money
is beginning to appear.
Straw Vote Results.
The preliminary polls taken by the
Enquirer and other independent
agencies. as we'll as those of the two
old parties. seem to warrant the fol-
lowing conclusions:
l. That Wilson and Marshall will
carry the state.
2. That Roosevelt will run second
and Taft third.
3. That Ralston may win but that
he will run many thousand votes be-
hind Wilson and Marshall
I. That the democrats will elect
members Of congress-.
s. That practically all Of the demo-
cratic state ticket will be elected.
6. That the democrats will retain
control of both branches Of the legis-
lature.
Z. That the republicans are hope
lessly divided. and that Roosevelt and
Beveridge are going to get more
votes than any one anti
cipated a month ago.

Seeking to Prevent War.


Paris. Oct. 2.-The French diploma
tic representatives. In the Balkan
states have received instructions frorn
the French government to continue to
exercise all possible proper influence
IN order to prevent a war between the
Balkan states and Turkey.
1t is understood here that French
banking interests, which usually take
their cue from the government, viii
cntegorically refuse all requests for
loans mde by states which eventually
may become belligerents and the Bai-
kah nations are to be so informed.
No collective plan Of the great DOW

of the crisis is yet In sight. For the
moment they are using pressure in

Dr. Stancion added that twelve

tho new concert because it puts into
action counsels long ago offered by
the powers, which had as their sole
motive the amelioration of the intol-
cradle condition Of Christians in Euro
pean Turkey.
The Greek and servian ministers
confirmed the accord and declared
that their countrymen would no lon
ger stand the aggression Of Turkey.
They were ready to make any sacri-
nee to help their christian brethren
under Ottoman domination. The
Turkish ambassador to France. Rifas,
Pacha. said:
Turkey has nc intention Of per.

SOME Recent FORECASTS
FROM THE POLITICAL field
ILLINOIS IS
YE1 DOUBTFUL
All Three Candidates Ap-
pear to be in the
Running.

Chicago. Oct. 2.-Illinois is in the
doubtful column and bids fair to re.
main there until election day. Sup
porters Of each of the three presiden-
tial candidates claim the state. and
there Is good reason to concede the
fact that all three are in the running
The prevalent idea. which is the lay
mans view, and the one which even
tually constitutes street gossip, is that
Wilson will carry Illinois. There are
plenty of reasons which lead to this
conjecture. but. on the other hand. ar
guments can be advanced which tend
to show to the contrary.
At first glance the natural deduction
would be that with the former repub-
lican vote split between Taft and
Roosevelt. the democratic nominee
should find it easy sailing. Taft re-
ceived 6c9.932 votes in Illinois in 1908,
against 450.S10 for Bryan. Taft's plur-
ality being 1922. If Wilson should
be- able to hold the Bryan vote alone.
the prevalent belief is that the split
ting of the republican vote of former
$4,000 plurality and put the demo-
cratic nominee on top.
From the point of view Of the poll
ticians, however. Wilson's cause has
advanced little in Illinois since the
primaries, when he carried only one
district. There are those among the
democrats themselves who say that
the election campaign for Wilson will
be not better handled than was that
of the primaries
Wilson Campaign Desultory.
So far the Wilson campaign has
been desultory. fractional strife in the
party in Illinois has led the Wilson
managers to bend over backward in
their efforts to steer clear of close al
lance with either the Sullivan or the
Hearst-Harrison factions. The result
is that the Sullivan men are showing
no signs Of an intention to overexert
themselves for Wilson. The Hearst
end Of the democracy cannot be look
ed to for much support in view Of the
attitude Of William Randolph Hearst
toward the democratic nominee. If
there is any one who is doing any
great amount Of effective work for
Wilson in Illinois he has not been To-
Gated.
In the republican ranks there is lit
tie red fire. There exists the regular

OHIO UPSET BY

Will Give the State to Will
son If He Holds His
Followers.

Columbus. Oct 2.-Upon the con-
tingency Of the permanence Of the
progressive movement in Ohio rests
In great measure. the results of the
pending campaign. II it can deliver
at the polls the same percentage OF
the May primaries. the decisive cleo
tion of the democratic presidential
electors is assured.
In a sense it is an arithmetical,
rather than political, problem that
presents itself. The total vote in
1908 was 1.136.525, and this year the
increase will not be striking. This
lican tendency in Ohio. when there
is disappointment with party condi-
tions, is to refrain from voting.
Taking it for granted that the DEM
ocratic vote will be normal. that party
will poll in round numbers about a
half million votes. This will leave a
remainder Of $4,000 to be divided be-
sives. the socialists, the prohibition.
lists, and other negligible political or
ganizations
Taft Had 69.59l Margin.
The majority obtained by President
Taft in 1908 over William ]. Bryan
was 1851. The republican total for
electors then was 572.312. as against
600.095 received by Theodore Roose-
velt in 1904. the high-water mark. so
to speak. Of the party in Ohio since
it's foundation. the majority being
nearly 256.000. Analysis shows that.
despite this impressive result, Roose-
velt in reality received only 27.783
