Eastern Illinois railroad today by
Federal Judge Carpenter on com
plant Of the Railway Steel Spring
company. The railroad Immediately
filed an answer cOncurring I'm the APP
pointment Of receivers.
Attorneys Interested said that three
factors contributed to the action in
Chicago. First ~ these. il was said,
was the knowledge that receiver
was to be asked ut ST Louis. for the
ST Louis and San Francisco railroad.
Anti railroad legislation enacted dur
ing the past two years. snd a tight
money market were the other cause;
giyen for the action. Prior Ia 1al2.
the annual income of the road was
about si.000.0O0. In the last year,
this was reduced To deficit. Tho
rolling stock OF the road IL reported
to be in need Of repair.

rectors of the st Louis Trust COM
pany, and r. l.. Wincheil, president
of the st. Louis and San Francisco
Railroad company. were appointed
receivers for the railroad in the fed
eral district court here late today.
Appointment OF the receivers here
took place about an hour after APP
pointment of auxiliary receivers for
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois. a
subsidiary of the Frisco, by the Unit
ed States district court in Chicago,
Application for the appointment of
receivers for the st, Louis and san
Francisco was made TO Circuit Judge
Walter II. Sanborn. who came here
from ST Paul today especially to
hear the Frisco matter, by the North
American company. which Is said to
be creditor OF the Frisco to the ex-
tent of 100000. A receivership was
urged as the only solution OF the
financial difficulties of the road by
James Campbell. OF St Louis. pres-
dent of the North American company.
The immediate cause Of the receiv-
ership was the maturing on June
OF short time notes issued by the
road for s2.2j0.0O0. which bear per
cent interest

Of the Frisco had depressing In

Calls II Absurd.

"lt is absurd to demand that the
names be given Of men who have
talked with senators about the tariff
bill," declared Senator Galllnger.
MEN are here who have right to
be here because they represent the
great Interests of the country that are
imperilled by proposed changes In the
tariff. 10 call them lobbyists Is alb
surd."
Senator Cummins declared he had
presented the demand for an inves-
tlgatlon because members of the sen.
ate had been put in Il very "unenvi-
able position"
81 recognize the right of any inter-
est affected by pending legislation to
appear and offer argument" he said.
II do not know that any lobbyists are
here. None have approached me.
But we have tariff bill before us. A
great many men are here. | sup
pose for the purpose Of putting legit-
innate arguments before. the senate
and lts committee affecting that legis-
lation."
Now It Is said by the highest au-
thOrity that a lobby of great proper
tlons employed means OF the most in
sidious and illegitmate character, Is
engaged in the effort to secure chang
es to the bill as no proposed, The
public has been led to believe, that
If any changes are made they will
have been due to their influence"
81 don't know what lobbyist is.
II It is the man who appears to make
legitimate arguments. | am for him.
But the country has right to know
what influences are surrounding the
senate of the United States to know
who is here and who Is attempting by
argument. by influence or persuasion.
to change the tariff rates"
The fight over the lobby resolution
ended abruptly at the objection OF
Senator owen. The presidents pub
lie statement Of yesterday had
brought an earlier comment from the
senate from Senator Thornton, one
II the democratic senators from
Louisiana. who opposes the presi-
dents free sugar program. Com
on steps that Louisiana
sugar interests had taken to secure
certain information which he had
presented to the senate he said:
81 suppose It is what some people
would call 'insidious lobbying but 1t
Is what we consider an earnest and
legitimate effort to try and save
large part Of our state from this i'm
pending blow"
An echo Of the Cummins resolu-
tion was heard shortly. after It was
laid aside when Senator Lippitt of
Rhode Island asked Chairman sim
mons of the finance committee when
the senate might expect to get the
material being presented TO the sub
In the shape of briefs.
Senator simmons replied that one
book Of briefs probably would be

WILL MOVE MILLS
To GERMANY
THE INTERNATIONAL HARVEST
Err COMPANY TAKES ACTION AS
RESULT OF STRIKE.

Auburn, n Y, April 15.-Intimida-
ton by 100 strike pickets at the
International Harvester Company's
twine mill prevented 800 operatives
from returning to work this morning.
After siXty-eight employees had strug'
gled through the lines of militia ana
entered the mill, the local officers
posted an order to close the mill
permanently and to dismantle the
machinery for shipment to Germany
The decision of the International
Harvester Company to remove its
mill was assailed in statement to-
night by John Golden, international
president Of the United Textile
Workers of America. He declared
that had the company followed "twen-
tieth century methods" in dealing
with its employees, the mills would
be running today.
The company's attitude, he said,
has been arrogant and unjust toward
''its employees, the citizens of Auburn,
the state board of mediation and ar
bitration and the American people.
In view of this, Mr. Golden conclud-
ed, the people of Auburn "are bet
ter off without such an industry that
consents to remain only on the stip-
ulation that everyone must bow to
its unbending and uncompromising
will.'
The departure of the industry will
leave G75 operatives idle.

FLOOD QUESTION
PUZZLES WILSON
ONE OF THE GREATEST PROB
LENS CONFRONTING THE PRES
EMIT ADMINISTRATION.

Washington, ID. c., April l5.-Jus
what method is to be pursued to pre-
vent floods in the middle west, such
as have devastated that territory and
are now threatening vast areas in
| the lower Mississippi, is one OF the
serious questions that faces President
| Wilson. He considers it one of the
greatest problems confronting the
| administration and it would not be
surprising If he should order his sec
retary of war to direct the engineers
Of the department to prepare de-
tailed report on the question for the
regular session of congress which
meets in December next.
The biggest problem outside of
some comprehensive plan of flood
prevention, will be to finance the
undertaking. President Wilson has
been told by the Congressional lead
ers that the necessity for strict
economy in government was never
50 great as now.
Mr. Fitzgerald the chairman of the
appropriation committee told the
president early in the week that if
only few of the bills already in
troduced in the house affecting the
flood situation were enacted into
law they would exhaust not alone
every dollar in the national treasury
but also all revenues that are. in
sight.
one plan which has been brought
to the attention of the president and
which will receive serious consider
alton is to have a general scheme
OF Improvement planned which would
absolutely take care of all future
floods in the Mississippi, Missouri,
Ohio and their tributaries and then
to finance it with a general issue Of
what would be known as flood bonds.
Part OF the financing of the i'm
proveTuent under this plan would
be met by the states benefited, and
the remainder by the government.
I'm connection with this plan is to be
considered the advisability of bring
ing to this work Col. George u.
Goethals and his entire Panama Ca
nal construction force. This organ
iZation. the greatest of its kind that
the world ever saw, is to be idle
very soon 1t has been suggested
that it be sent to Alaska to develop
the resources of that country, where
mighty obstacles are to be encoun-
tered.
}ut the flood situation may change
that plan The Lower Mississippi I'm
prcycment Association has been
working to have the canal workers
5out to care for the Mississippi and
II is possible that the force will
be utilized to place the rivers of the
Middle West in such condition that
further disastrous floods viii be i'm
possible

The plumbers, the carpenters, the
bricklayers, the steyedores, the shop
clerks, the walters, the railway en-
ployes, the cabmen, the street clean
ers-every man who called himself a
laboring man quit.
That would be remarkable in itself
the fact that the industries of an
entire nation are tied up. But this
strike is different in every particular
from any other strike. The leaders OF
the laboring men have been prepar-
ing for this move for months. They
have exhausted every Neans to pre-
vent it and when they finally decided
upon it in February, they set tho
date for the beginning in March,
They announced at the outset that
this strike was to be entirely with
out violence. That they would as
sist the government in putting down
any rioting, The government took
council and decided it could not pre-
pare for such a nationwide demon
stration in such short time. The
labor leaders then announced that
they would postpone the strike un-
til the government was all prepared
and set the date ahead a month.
Every woman and child who would
serve as drain on a strikers re-
sources has been sent out of the
country as fast as places to send
them could be found The laboring

The Belgium election laws are pc
culiar. There are three classes of
voters. Every male Belgian of legal
age is entitled to at least one vote
Every male Belgian who is 35 years
old, has a legitimate family of chill
dren, and pays as little as 5 francs
($l.2O) house tax, and every man
who owns $40O worth of real es-
tate is entitled to two votes. All
professional men and men who hold
diplomas from institutions of learn
ing are entitled to three votes.
The laboring men of Belgium want
this law changed so that every man
shall have equal voice in the govern
ment They desire that every man
shall have exactly the same voting
privilege, rich and poor, educated and
ignorant
The socialist party is behind the
strike. The socialists have the Sec
ond strongest party in Belgium and
if this strike accomplishes anything
they will likely be in control The
directing genius of the strike is Prof.
Emile Vandervelde, the leader of
the socialists in parliament. He or
ganized strike of 10000 work
men a few years ago in connection
with this same matter-but merely
as a protest against the present form
of election law and as a demonstra-
tion at that lime-hence the pres
ent strike.
