HEAVY VOTE
IN ILLINOIS

CHICAGO. April 9.-Voters are today
engaged in casting their ballots at a
Statewide primary. considered the
most important in the history Of Illi-
nois. The day dawned beautifully and
the forecast for the State was for fair
weather. The polls opened at o'clock
and will close at this afternoon. A
heavy vote is assured.
The election is important nationally
for the reason that it is the first time
a preferential vote has been cast for
President Preference will be shown
only among the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. The names of President TAFT
Theodore Roosevelt and Robert NJ. La
Toilette appear on the Republican bal-
lot and those of Champ Clark and
Woodrow Wilson on the Democratic.
Either have made personal campaigns
in the State. or have had represents
tives make them, since the Legislature
in extra session ten days ago made -
possible for the preferential presidency
vote to be held.
In Chicago women are interested IN
the primary. an arrangement having
been made whereby voters may express
their views as TO whether women
should be granted the ballot.
In Cairo it was said that voters were
making their way to the polls in many
instances in boats. In other parts OF
the flooded districts voters experienced
much Inconvenience in reaching the
voting booths.

Slow Progress
at Dugan Trial

At 2:50 o'clock this afternoon the
jury in the Dugan case was taken o1t
of the courtroom, in charge of the
court officers, to the High street side
of the building, where the automobile
which figures in the case was on ex-
hibition. The car is said to show no
signs of damage. 1t has been in custody
of the county officers since Christmas
Day, and was brought to the Court
House on a truck. The jurors were
accompanied in their inspection by ,he
judge, the prosecuting officers, the de-
fendant and his attorneys.
The second day of the trial of Daniel
A. Dugan, jr., charged with man
slaughter in connection with the death
of Leo Francis McDermott, of As Me-
chanic street, Orange, on Christmas
day last, went along slowly today.
Both Prosecutor Mott and Frederick
r. Lehlbach, his assistant, and Louis
Hood and former Judge Thomas A.
Davis, representing the State and de-
fendant respectively, seemed to be con-
tent to take their time and let the
evidence develop as it would.
In this rspect Mr. Hood seemed to
be much more successful than Mr.. Mott
in that he got several telling points
in as to the possible speed of the car
young Dugan was driving at the time
of the accident.
Up to noon the only witnesses called
had been Walter Courier, who testified
that he saw the car driven by Dugan
pass the Bianchi place at 81 Main
street, Orange, at a rapid rate of
speed. Plice officer John McDerm1tt.
no relation of the dead boy; Luke A.
Reilly, George Borerman and George
H. Roberts, who had witnessed the
accident.
A peculiar thing in connection with
the trial SO far is that it was not
until Roberts had given testimony
stating that he had actually seen the
McDermott boy hit by the Dugan car
that there was any direct testimony
showing that the boy had been hit
at all.
At 1926 young Dugan took the stand,
after Louis Hood, his counsel, had in
a short address told the jury that he
did not believe that Dugan or his two
companions, Clark and Nolte, were
guilty of anything except boyish reck-
lessness.
On the witness stand Dugan was
self possessed and answered all ques-
tions put to him clearly. Prosecutor
Wilbur A. Mott made a savage attack
upon what he called "the speed mania
that the boy is said to have had, but
denials of that by the boy seem to
have an effect on the jury. He was
still on the witness stand when court
adjourned for the noon recess.

TOO FAT; HE
ASKS DECREE

Obesity and periodically getting in
toxicated are not in the list generally
recited as causes for divorce, but these
two qualities figured In a case brought
before Vice-C Chancellor Emery today.
The action was brought year ago by
Frederick K. Laute. a diamond setter.
of 179 Lafayette street. against his
wife Julia T. Laute, who is now living
with her sister in New York.
When the case first came up there
was sensation in the courtroom when
Ralph E. Lum, who formerly repre-
sented Mrs. Laute, announced that his
client was not mentally competent, ac-
cording to his best belief. and he sought
to stay the divorce proceedings in or
der that commission might be ap-
pointed to inquire into the woman's
sanity.
'T have been unable to prepare de-
fense in this case" said Mr.. Lum. 81

nit that the confession has been
made.
The case of Madeline Ciccone Is one
OF the most remarkable in the criminal
annals OF New Jersey. Possessed of
consumate daring and Oriental cum
ming, she defied the authorities to the

Once, fearing the evidence that they
had brought together, she feigned an
attempt at suicide to get herself trans
ferred to the City Hospital
Yet when the charge of murder was
read to her in the Second Precinct Po-
lice Court on March IL she listened
without vestige Of emotion. Even
the grief of her 12-year-old daughter
Anna failed TO move her.

hve shots yesterday from a revolver at
August Valante, of the same address,,
when arraigned today in the Third Pre-
cinct Police Court, and was held in
81, 900 bail to await the action of the

claimed. Not one of the shots touched
Valante, but one of the bullets pene-
trated a window of a cafe across the

PRESBYTERY
TOLD OF RITE

Admitting that the First Ruthenian
Presbyterian Church might have
dropped back to the practise of rites
ism, Rev DR.. William Y Chapman,
board, read before the Presbytery to-
day report on the charges made
against the Ruthenian congregation.
"If at times the religious services
have dropped back to the original
forms" he said, 'it has been because
of the sacerdotal training of the minis
ter and because the people from their
infancy knew no other way"
His address follows in part:
1.-THE extraordinary nature OF our work
for the Ruthenian' people. the criticisms
from various quarters and the wide pub
licity which tnis work has received in the
newspapers, make it seem necessary al
this time to make special report of con-
ditions obtaining in the Beacon Stree'
Nevertheless, when this congregation,
revolving from the hierarchy of Rome
knocked at our doors. we hesitated- we
announcement as we could in their seem
ingly sincere search for spiritual nghl
and affiliation with evangelical Christian
ity, If a proper way could be found.
Accordingly after promises that all
peculiarly Roman doctrines should be
eliminated from their worship, Presbytery
organized them into a church on January
90 1909.
'If any Romanist has chuckled at TINS
temporary Indulgence of forms on winch
he Claims copyright, he is welcome to bis
satisfaction If any Protestant watchdog,
who makes as much of an idol of his
information as the ritualist does OF MS
Journalism. has had chills over this enter
prise. he may be safely neglected. And
If any sensation -monger who hangs about
the tent-doors of the church, seeking mat
ter for story for his. paper, has pros
nered in his trade, verify he has his re-
ward. -
1--WE are able to report with consider
able confidence that gradually the forms
which even the most fastidious would OBJ
iect to. have been eliminated, and the
people are coming to prefer the simpler
forms OF worship that our church ap-
proyes'

ANAC0STLA.

The street car problem in Anacostia
was discussed at a meeting Of the execu-
tive committee of the Anacostia Citizens
Association last evening at the home Of
President Charles R. Burr. in Valley
Street. il was reported that the railway
company was contemplating disseminating
the Union Station route Of the Eleventh
Street line, and to operate all OF its cars
by way Of Center Market. and through
to Congress Heights. instead Of only
operating a part OF them TO the latter
suburb. The committee believes that this
change would not be of benefit to the
Eastern section OF the city, and II put
into effect would raise the transfer ques-
ton, which is now before the citizens Of
Congress Heights. When residents desire
to reach the Northeastern section OF the
city they are either required to ride to
Ninth and F Streets, or transfer at First
and r Streets Southeast and pay an
additional fare on the Lincoln Park cars.
The committee also took up the question
of the small open cars now being operated
on this line, and went on record as dis
approving their use. II will urge the
company TO place larger cars in operation.
A suggestion will also be made that an
aIl-nlght schedule be placed in operation.
1t was stated that from 800 to 800 persons
are required to walk from Anacostia TO
the Navy Yard and take the Capital
Traction Line, each morning before the
Anacostia line is in operation
