ILLINlIS W0.,..EN AID
IN "DRY" VICTORY

Chicago, April 22.-Results of local
option elections in twenty-siX towns
and villages in Illinois are heralded
as a victory by prohibition leaders.
Eleven towns were swept into the
dry column, abolishing about eighty
saloons, and all previously dry terri
tory was retained, with the exception
of Flanagan, Livingstone county,
which changed from dry to wet The
vets retained twelve towns and vii
lagos.
Votes of women proved to be the
controlling factor at several places.
In Litchfield fifteen saloons were
wiped out by women. In Ottawa.
where the issue was bitterly contest
ed, the women furnished III votes
towards the wet majority of 1,240
Forty-eight saloons were retained.
Figures provided by S. F. Scott Nc
Bride, state superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon league, showed that there
are now fifty-fye entirely dry coun-
ties in the state, forty-six partly dry
and one (Monroe) entirely wet. Sew
entyy county seats are dry, while
thirty-two remain wet.

$4,000 for alleged libel
The former president gave what he
said was the details of the election by

leader of the Republican party in

organization and the fight, he said, OF
the combined Democratic and Repub-

Barnes, made against direct primaries

He also identified a letter written
by Mr. Parnes in which the latter told
him the idea of getting rid of bosses
is ats ri so long as you have party

Colonel Roosevelt was on the stand
during the entire days session of the
court recit rs the sto ! by which he
hopes to prove to tie jury that he
was justified in causing the publica-

Barnes is suing him for libel
While Colonel Roosevelt gave his
testimony he slapped one hand upon
the other every second or so and
leaned far forward in his chair to
ward the jury box. The spectators

CABINET C0NSULTS ELDERS
Japanese Demands on China to Be
Pressed

Toxic. April 22.-The crisis which
has come in the negotiations with
China as to the acceptance of the de
mands of hte Toxic government has
been followed by a protracted confer
ence of the cabinet. The members ce
the "Genero," or the elder statesmen
of Japan, are being consulted on the
subject.
The semi-official press expresses
the belief that Japan has brought the
unsettled clauses of her demands
down to the irreducible minimum and
that in the event of further procras-
tination on the part of China she will
probably press for reply within a
given period of time.
