ANNUAL REPORT OF
 ILLINOIS CENTRAL

E. F Stovall, general agent of the Illinois Central railroad. yesterday gave out the annual report of the line for the fiscal year ending June 30 1915:
 There was a decrease of $4,173,32754 in the railway operating revenues this year as compared with the previous year The falling off in revenues was due to the nation wide depression in business. The decrease in revenues was offset in 3. material measure by re- auction in operating expenses of $3.- 2C5,171.S1. This decrease was occa- stoned in part by the reduced volume of business and in part by increased operating efficiency The net income of the company for the year decreased $1,279,662.
 Expenditures for road and equipment during the year amounted to S1O,323,- 622.I6. of which S6.042,S ,S09.s7 was for additions and betterments to road and $4,2SO,Sl2.S9 was for equipment The report refers to the completion of the double track between Fulton and Mem phis.

Chancellor to Decide on In- junction in Preferential
 Freight Rate Cases

Montgomery. October 1s.-(special) ) The petition of the state public service commission for a permanent injunction restraining the Louisville and Nash vile, Southern, Alabama Great South ern and Northern Alabama railroads from increasing freight rates on raw materials consigned to furnaces in the Birmingham district will be heard by Chancellor W. w. Whiteside of the Northeastern chancery division, at Bir- mingham on Saturday, October 20. This announcement was made today he At torney General William l.. Martin, who is representing the public service com mission
 The litigation between the commits sion and the railroads is of friendly ma ature and was instituted principally for the purpose of ascertaining the status of preferential rates. The car riers contend that the commi ssion has no Jurisdiction in the matter of such rates while, on the other hand, the com mission maintainS that once the rail- roads have established these rates they cannot increase them. even though the increase is no greater than statutory rates, without first gaining authority to do so from the commission.
 The commission several weeks ago secured from Chancellor W. R. Chapman of the Southeastern division, a tempor- ary restraining order to prevent the railroads from putting the new tariffs into effect. As soon as the temporary order was secured, application was made to Chancellor Whiteside for per- manent injunction.

One of the big hopes of the woman suf- frage world today is in the victory of the New Jersey campaign, and the ques- tion that Is being asked all over the United States is ''Will New Jersey again figure in history as the first of the origi- nal 13 states to give its women the vote?'
 In explanation of this question the His tory of Woman Suffrage by Ida Husted Harper is quoted
 "As America was the first country in which was made the experiment of rep resentative government by men, it is nat ural that it should be the first in which women asked for representation The very first woman to make this demand, so far as was known. was Mrs. Mary Brent of Maryland, in 1647 In 1776, Mrs Abigail Adams wrote her husband. John Adams, in the Continental Congress,
 Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands. Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies. we intend to foment a rebel lion, and will not hold ourselves bound to obey any laws in which we have no voice or representation.
 The Continental Congress left the suf- frage to be dealt with by the state in their constitution and New Jersey was the only one to confer it on it's women, but in 1897 the legislature passed an ar bitrary act limiting the suffrage to white male citizens" This was clearly usurpa- tion of authority as the constitution could be legally changed only by the action of the voters.
 On October 19 the men of New Jersey will vote on a constitutional amendment enfranchising their women and, accord ing to the. National American Woman Suffrage association, which is leading the campaign, the prospects for victory are bright ,..l
 By an agreement reached last spring be- tween the suffragists in New York, Mas sachusetts Pennsylvania and New Jer- sey. the National Woman Suffrage asso- citation has concentrated it's efforts on the last-named state. A special cam paign committee was appointed with Dr. Anna Howard Shaw as chairman and Mrs. Antonette Funk of Chicago as vice

She has given New Jersey audi ences the benefit of her crisp and hu- morous analysis of MT. Taft's argument in the Saturday Evening Post that ~"the women should get the suffrage some day but not yet
 Illinois has contribute four star campaigners to the nationals coterie in the persons of Mrs. Anteinette Funk, who has been speaking at factories at noon- day and to street crowds at night; Mrs. Medll Mccormick. whose campaign ex- perience dates back to the Mckinley cam paigns, managed by the late Sens GOT Hanna Miss Virginia Watrous, daugh- ter of Mrs. Funk, and Mrs George Ross formerly president of the Chicago Wom- ans club, and one of the best known club women in the country.
 Among the other campaigners which the National has sent into New Jer- sey are Mrs Walter McNab Miller or Columbia, Mo, president of the Mis- souri State Suffrage association and d ''veteran"-as suffragists count vet erans"-of two suffrage campaigns in her own state. Another is Mrs. Susan w. F'itzGcrald of Massachusetts, who is recording secretary of the national as sociation. A third is Mrs. Winston Churchill, wife of the novelist who comes from an old St. Louis family. Mrs. Frank Hiram Shell of Washing ton, D. C.. has gone in for what the suffragists call intensive" work in Jersey City. She has camped there and canvassed it ward by ward Every might she takes her soap box and hunts up new corner of the town to speak in. If the crowd is slow to gather. a bit of red fire serves to give notice that a patient suffragist is waiting for an audience, and the audience prompt ly arrives.

CANNOT FIX BLAME
 FOR THE LYNCHING
Montgomery Grand Jury Urges Stronger Enforcement of Motor
 cycle and Automobile Laws

Montgomery October 13.-(Special) ) Declaring that no information could he obtained as to the identity of the parties who participated in the lynch ing of two negroes and the shooting of another in the southern part of Mont gomory county during August, and expressing the opinion that persons in the county are soliciting orders for liuuor contrary to law. the Montgomery county grand jury today made an ex- haustive report to Judge Gaston Gun ter of the city court of Montgomery.
 In reference to the lynching, the grand jury said: "We feel most keenly that the commission of this offense is a blemish on our civilization" The re- port recommended that the next grand jury continue the probe.
 The grand jury recommended that the police and sheriff departments get to- gether in enforcing the law against the speeding of automobiles and mo- tcrcycles, declaring that the reckless driving of these machines is a menace to human life.

boulevard and to the "wettest" cor ner of the place.
 Miss Rose Bowers of South Dakota.
 the official bugler of the party, has
 been in many suffrage campaigns In the past six or seven years. She Is an officer In the South Dakota Equal Suffrage association and member of
 the legislative committee. In the 1914
 South Dakota campaign she was the secretary of the Black Hill district where most of the counties won. Miss flowers is both cornetist and. it Is said, an eloquent speaker.
 According to Dr. Shaw's estimate. , the women will carry New Jersey by virtue of the rural vote. the labor vote,
 and a good sized section of the com
 muters vote. that is these residents
 of New Jersey who commute to New York and Philadelphia and who are
 more or less influenced by the flood of suffrage material and discussion ap-
 bearing in the metropolitan press of
 those two cities. The chief argument which the suf- fragists are using to the men in New Jersey is thS appeal to state pride. If the men IS the west trust their women enough to give them the vote,' so the argument runs. shall it be said that l you do not trust us enough to extend l similar privileges?" Among the polit-
 ical workers the favorite argument is that the men of the west have shrewdly 1 doubled their influence in national pol 1 tiles by enfranchising their women and that the men of the east must enfran-
 chise their women in order to keep up 1 their end.
 l The election is special election at which three constitutional amendments will be voted upon. One is a proposal | to give municipal bodies the right of
 excess condemnation" The second proposed to amend the constitution so | as to permit one amendment to be voted upon each year. The third is the suf- 1 frage question.
 President Wilson's position on the
 question of woman suffrage has been
 made plain and he will cast his vote
 for equal suffrage as common cit
 izen" on October, 19 in his own state
