CLOSING CAMPAIGNING.

Chicago, April 8.--The political
leaders today gave the final in
structions to their Iieutenants of
the Illinois campaign for primary
election tomorrow.
The presidential preference vote
continued to occupy the center of
the stage politically. Roosevelt
planned to close his campaign in
the state with speeches In the
congressional district which for
years has returned former Speaker
Cannon to congress.
The speaking campaigns of Taft
and LaFollette forces In the state
are over. Candidates for the
gubernatoriaI nomination rested
and the congressional aspirants
and a host of seekers after minor
offices turned their attention from
halls and audiences to the selec-
ton of watchers and personal
workers who will take the field
with the opening Of the polls. The
prizes are fifty-eight votes of the
Illinois delegates in the two ma
tional conventions.
Chicago has also to vote on the
advisability Of woman suffrage and
the local suftragists have prepared
to be represented at every polling
place in the liza precincts OF the
city.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE CON-
MISSION GAVE DECISION ON
. COMPLAINT OF IOWA CITY TO.
pAY-N. D. RATES ARE IN.
VoLVED.

Washington, April S.-The interstate
commerce commission today refused
to disturb the existing through freight
rates on grain in the middle west. The
petition of the Sioux Falls Terminal
Elevator Co., against the Chicago Mil
waukee & st. Paul railway and other
rail carriers was rejected, except as
to certain local rates.
1t was urged by the Sioux City petit
TONERS that existing rates in and out
Of Sioux City were discriminatory
against that city as grain center and
gave a preferential advantage to the
cities Of Omaha and Kansas City di-
rect competitors Of Sioux City.
The existing local rates on grain
from the states of North and South
Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska and Iowa
to Sioux City, however, were held to
be unreasonable and the railroads
given time in which to readjust them.

RoOSevelt'S Manager Makes
Charges Against Officials
SAYS I. R. GOT MIJORITIES
CLAIMED THAT IN KENTUCKY
ELECTIONS, TAFT cERTIFI-
GATES WERE SIGNED WHEN
ROOSEVELT HAD THE HIGHEST
NUMBER OF VOTES.

Washington, April Sin an open
letter to Taft given out at Roosevelt's
headquarters here today Sen. Joseph
III. Dixon, campaign manager for
Roosevelt, declares the president will
become a deliberate receiver of stolen
goods if he does not repudiate the
action Of certain federal Office hold
ers in the Kentucky elections Satur-
day and institute proceedings against
them.
Dixon's letter was sent as result
Of telegram received from e. G.
Orear, former chief justice Of the SUI
preme court Of Kentucky and the re-
publican candidate for governor at
the last election.
Orear's telegram says: Later re-
turns give Roosevelt the first district,
but the chairman of McCracken coun-
ty, who is deputy postmaster at Padu-
cab, signs q Taft certificate, though
Roosevelt carries the county by 1,006
to 517. In Carlisle county Roosevelt
had all but three. one of whom was
chairman, but the postmaster signed
a Taft certificate"
Dixon In his letter declares that
federal office holders supporting Taft
are specifically charged by Orear with
violating the law, the civil service
rules and executive orders.
Dixon declares the postmasters have
ignored Taft's recent message to con-
gress recommending the transfer of
postmasters to the civil service or
they refuse to credit you with sin
cerity in your public declarations.
Failure on your part now to act
in prompt rebuke and punishment of
these crimes can only convince the
whole country that the assault upon
your honor by your subordinates in
Kentucky is justified.
Il call upon you not as candidate
for denomination but as president of
the United States to issue an order to
the officeholders of Kentucky to cancel
their illegal action.
Il call upon you as president of the
United States to punish these men,
guilty Of violating the civil service
rules and orders Of your predecessors 2
Dixon said a report had been sent to
the civil service commission and would
be before congress witt twenty four
hours"

London, April s.-There is general

ing in North Wales and as most of the
miners in that district were cleared
away last week, thousands Of tons of
coal were raised this morning. In
Flintshire, 5000 miners have started
work again, and in the Derbyshire pits
the men are preparing for coal-getting
tomorrow. In F1feshire, Scotland, the
men have decided not to return to
work until the funds in treasury, which
amount to $150,000 have been expended
and as the authorities fear trouble be-
tween the strikers and non- union men
who have returned to work, a large
force of police has been drafted into
the country.
In South Wales, the prospects are
not as bright as the enginemen, fire.
men and other surface men have
pledged themselves not to return to
work, until their demands have been
conceded.
The first coal mined is to be sup
piled to railroads and mills, so that
several days must pass before the
householders in the cities will be able
to buy fuel supplies at the usual prices
1t is estimated that an even longer
period will elapse before normal con-
ditions in the foreign trade will ensue.
