THOUSANDS OF WOMEN
FAIL TO VOTE IN ILLINOIS
More Than Two-Thirds Remain
Away From Polls-Seven Nom
mated for Aldermen in Chicago.

CHICAGO, February 25.-Comparatively
few Illinois women yesterday took adj
vantage of their first opportunity to vote
under the provisions of the new state
suffrage law Returns tabulated here to-
day indicated that more than two-thi ds
of the registered women remained away
from the primary elections held in many
cities and towns of the state.
In Chicago the total number of women
who voted was 47,5o9. or about 80 per
cent of the 1aS,524 who had qualified.
The heaviest woman's vote In the state
was at Galeshurs, the scene of wet
and dry contest where the women
cast nearly one-half of the total vote
Absence of important issues and stormy
weather were reported as the reasons for
the light suffrage vote in Springfield.
Quincy, Peoria, Bloomington and other
cities of the state.
Seven Chicago women. who had no OPP
position. were nominated for aldermen.
Three of them were progressives and four
were socialists. Two women. candidates
on the democratic ticket, had strong op-
position and were defeated. Ten alder
men were retired to private life. All Of
them were democrats, and with one ex-
ception We're opposed by the Municipal
Voters League.
/ In some cases their male opponents re-
ceived the votes of more women than
did the female candidates.

United States Steel Corporation Ap-

The petitioners in their brief contend
that the commission should not have
found that the complainants' railroads
are plant facilities, and they argue that
the commission is not justified in the
conclusion that service performed for
industries adjacent to complainants'
tracks gives such industries an obvious
advantage over shipper who delivers
and accepts his freight on a public
team track. The commission is re-
quested to order trunk lines who were

GOVERNMENT LOSES CASE
U. S. Supreme Court Grants New
Trial of Bleached Flour
Issue.

One of the worst defeats yet suffered by
the government in the enforcement of the
pure food law was suffered by 1t yester-
day when the Supreme Court of the
United States sent the so-cailed bleached
flour case back to the district court for
a new trial.
AS the trial court instructed the jury in
accordance with the governments CON
tention the case was sent back with in
structions that the law was that foods
not containing enough questionable sub
stances to injure health We're not CON
demned by the pure food law
The decision extended directly only to
the flour trade. but indirectly reached
out to thousands of articles of food
In effect the decision of the court was
that the government cannot condemn
food put upon the market unless 1t can
show that enough poisonous ingredients
have been added to the food to cause
injury to health. The government had

naval shops and dry dock will be ready

this done it is believed that Col. Goe-

the canal operation.
Lieut. Col. H. f. Hodges. United

of the constructors of the great water
way, whose services will be required
until at least the end of the present

after the important electrical installa-
tion at the three great locks and in
providing for the aids to navigation
throughout the canal. 1t is expected
that this work will be completed be-
fore the end of the present year. Then
the canal will be said to be really in
condition for the safe passage of ocean
going vessels and not before.
Some anxiety is manifested by Walter
F. Eeyer. assistant engineer in charge
of aids to navigation in the canal It

Within brief period after the clos
ing of the gates of Gatun spillway
the water cabbage began growing
along the banks of the lake that was
formed. Now it has spread all over
the surface of the lake and floats
about in great islands that are becom-
ing very dense. These plants have
very long roots and in shallow water
become anchored fast to the bottom
Recently the water hyacinth made its
appearance and. like the cabbage, is
floating about in large islands.
The growth of the hyacinth Is much
faster than the cabbage and forms in
masses of great density. 1t is feared
that ships will have considerable dim

ready means are being considered ior

The danger from the plants Is said
to be greatest where the canal is mar
rowest because they will there md

regarded as not so great in Gatun lake.
because they have a tendency to re-
