ATTENTION IS
DIRECTED HERE
Confirmation OF Hearing Before
Judge Cavender Is Attracting At
tention Throughout the Coun-
try.-Rights Involved.

The fact that water power is used
by several of the irrigation districts
along the Grand river to lift their
water to their lands will be the ba-
sis of an argument before Judge
Charles Caveuder today or tomorrow
by United States District Attorney
Ethelbert Ward. in which he will
declare that the hearing now on is
a proceeding over irrigation water
and not over power water and that
this is not a competent court to sit
in the case until proper proceedings
have been started to complete its
jurisdictional powers.
The history-making hearing over
the original rights of the state or
nation in control of the unappropri-
ated waters of a river continue to-
day. The government attorneys will
not close their side of this case
before late tomorrow.
Attention throughout the coun-
try is being riveted on the proceed
ings in the local court today where
irrigation rights for centuries al
most are being involved
Il is one of the most momentous
cases ever tried in local court so
far as its scope of effect is con-

ALL ILLINOIS
IS VOTING
Most Exciting State Primary Yet
Held.-Who Will Control the 5S
Delegates to Each National
Convention Ballots Big.
Associated Press.

Chicago, Apr. Editions of Illi-
nois went to the polls today to cast
their ballots in the most momentous
primary contest ever seen in the
state. For the first time direct ex-
pressions of their preference for the
presidential candidates on the repub-
lican and democratic tickets is pos
sible to the voters.
On the republican side, the contest
between the followers of President
Taft and the supporters of Roosevelt
Is at white heat, and each faction
hopes for an expression from the vot-
ers which will settle the matter in
which the 5S Illinois delegates will
vote at the national convention.
These names will appear on the re-
publican ballot for presidential pref
erence: Taft, Roosevelt and LaFol-
lette.
Speaker Champ Clark and Cover
nor Woodrow Wilson are the only
democratic candidates whose names
will be on the ballot.
On the state ticket for the repub-
lican party there are eight candi-
dates for governor, while five demo-
Gratis are seeking the same office
Under the apportionment, Illinois
is entitled to two congressman at
large and nine candidates on both the
democratic and republican tickets are
before the voters.
Four republican candidates seek
the suffrage of the republican voters
for nomination for United States sem
ators from Illinois. Only one demo-
crat has entered the list for this
nomination. In IL of the 25 con-
gressional districts of the state, only
one democratic candidate is seeking
nomination and in five districts only
one republican has been named.
In many counties, notably Cook
county, the ballot has assumed enor-
nous proportions. In Cook county,
in addition to all the names on the
state ticket, there are 81 democratic
candidates for county commissioner
and 46 republican candidates for the
same office. There are also ~ can
didates for the nomination for sani-
tary district trustee and 40 candi-
dates for municipal court Judge.
In Chicago the voters will have a
chance to vote on the question of
women's suffrage, and an unusual
feature of primary day will be the
presence of women at the polls urg-
ing voters to cast ballot in favor
of women's suffrage.

day set about solving the identity OF
the woman who was found yesterday

The woman, who was pronounced
by physicians to be suffering from

Mrs. Mary Clinton, the housekeep-
er at the conservatory where Parma
had his lodgings. was the only one
in the building apparently who knew
OF the woman's existence. To Mrs.
Clinton she was nameless.
The housekeeper told the police
that she thought the woman was
Parma's wife or daughter, but did
not know which: that in the eight
years during which the couple oc-
cupied the apartments, the aged mu-
sioian showed the deepest affection
for his companion.

Female Voters Should Be Given
More Recognition.-No Slate

If the suggestion of Chairman
Henry r. Rhone of the Democratic

of ladies occupying seats as delegates
in the county convention to be held
here on April %.
Chairman Rhone has sent a letter
to each precinct committeeman urg-
ing that there be a fair proportion
of women delegates from each pre-

Doubtless the suggestion will be
followed throughout the county. In
his letter Chairman Rhone says CON
cerning this matter:
Il desire to call the attention of
the various committeeman to the
fact that We have great many loyal
Democratic women in the various
precincts of the county. Heretofore
We have to a great extent ignored
the women in the matter of holding
the primaries and in the selection
of delegates to the conventions. In
my Judgment. this matter should be
be a fair proportion of delegates
from each precinct elected from the
woemn voters. and | trust that you
will see that this is done.
Ballots have been prepared for
the primary and have been forward
ed by the chairman to the respective
committeeman to be used In the pre-
cinct primaries which primaries will
be held on Monday, April Is.

methods employed by the Roosevelt
