RACK JOHNSON, the negro prize
fighter, who Is at present under in
dictment on white slavery charges,
was married in Chicago yesterday to a

came into the limelight on his account.
The ceremony was performed in the

the couple. The dispatch announc-
ing the wedding, among other things,
said that there were a score Of white
women present, and that most Of them

However If Johnson stood for 1t, no

charge is concerned, wherein does his
marriage to white girl differ from
that ofrense?

Road Is Cited to Appear Before Railroad Com-
 mission on May 6 STATE OFFICIALS
 ARE GETTING BUSY Understood in Montgomery that For mer Governor Conner May De Called Into Conference on
 the Subject

Montgomery, April 9.-(Special) )- The Alabama railroad commission has cited the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road company. the South and North Ala bama Railroad company, and the Nash vile. Chattanooga and St. Louis rail- road to appear before the commission on May 1 and show the reasonableness of advances in passenger fares from E cents to cents per mile.
 The commission has also cited the railroads to show cause why the com mission should not fix just and req sonable passenger rates within the state and to further appear before that body at any time and show cause why the classification on various articles of freight should be charged.
 Resolutions disappearing the action of the railroads in filing notice of an advance in passenger and freight rates and citing these roads to appear be- fore that body and show the reason ableness of such changes, were adopted by the commission late this afternoon, after an all-day session
 The action of the railroad eomnlis sion followed upon the railroads notice 10 the effect that the old rates would be restored and 1t is probable the open ing chapter to another series of litiga- lions between the state and railroads.
 So far as can be learned the situation Is tense. Developments of most im- portant nature are looked for within the next few days, and while neither state nor railroad officials will talk on the subject, it is believed that every possible effort will be made to have the railroads rescind their proposed rate advances.

 At a meeting of the democratic state committee tomorrow night the tentative draft of the platform to be adopted at the state convention will be discussed in executive session. Many leaders are known to favor making state Issues sub ordinate to national questions.

Distress in that district and in the immediate vicinity of Memphis has been in a large measure relieved. The diversion of a vast Qu1ntity of water into the St Francis basin because of today's break should afford relief to the stretch of river between Barfield and Helena, about 30 miles, at least tempor-i arily.

SUMMARY OF THE
 POLITICAL NEWS
 OFTHE CAMPAIGN
Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson Refuse to Comment-New York's Dele gates at Large to Be Unin-
 structed-Taft Wins in
 Kentucky Convention

Chicago. April 9--Winneis in the Illi- nois preferential, advisory and direct prt- mary elections today as indicated by suf- ficient returns to warrant a prediction are as follows.
 For president, Champ Clark democrat; Theodore Roosevelt republican.
 For United States senator L. Y. Harr- man, republican,; J. H. Lewis. democrat, uncontested).
 For governor, Charles S Deneen. re- publican, Edward F. Dunne democrat.
 Claim 100000 Majority
 Colonel Roosevelt's state managers claimed his majority over President Taft as from 100000 to 150,o00. Returns indicate his vote was nearly five to two of that for Taft. Presidential delegates were not named on tho ballots and will be elected by congressional districts and at large, the effect of today's vote being only to serve as a guide to party officials as in- dicating party feeling.
 Sherman's lead over Cullom for tho ad- visory vote for United States senator was small and complete returns from out in the state might overthrow the apparent result at midnight.
 Governor Deneen's chief fight was against Treasurer Len Small. referred to in the campaign as candidate of Sem ator Lorimer. Advices indicate Governor Deneen has won from Small about five to three in the state Beneens indicated majority in Cook county was 2S,0oo.
