MILLIONAIRE HUGHES TRAIN
FAILS TO GET THE VOTES OF
WORKING WOMEN

GOSSIP along pOHucaI row To-Day is
that Hughes campaign managers
pulled a boner when they sent the
BiIIion-Dollar Special into Chicago.
Today the Billion-Dolar Special and
it's cargo of Hughes boosters is a
laughing stock for the working wom-

Women of all classes are still
chUckling and choTtLng over the I'M
expected welcome the Eastern big
bugs got at LaSalle street station
yesterday.
A band of working women edged
by the police and guards at LaSalle
street station yesterday and were in
the front lines of welcOmers when
the BilliOn-DOllar train pulled in.
They waited until the arriving wealth
was close enough to tell real hair
from rats, then they displayed the
big banners hid under their coats.
What has Hughes ever done to
benefit the working people?" read
one banner. And then:
GO back to Wall street. We want
Wilson"
I'VE are working women and we
want Wilson"
Wilson voted for Suffrage;

Wilson and industrial democracy"

He SERVES PIE TOO
Dick Johnson Captures Jail
Contract, 121ac a Meal.
Hint to Housewives in Prepar-
ing Economic Meals.

Citizens who suffer from the pangs
of high cost of living may be interest
ed to learn that meals are furnished
the city Jail prisoners at 121l cents
each and that they have a large as
sortment of good things to draw from
in order that the meals may not be
monotonous. At their regular meeting
in the city hall this morning the city
commissioners received bids for the
feeding of the prisoners for the COM
ing year and the contract was award
ed to Dick Johnson, though the bid
from the Busy Bee restaurant offered
to feed them good and promptly" for
II cents per meal, was submitted, but
turned down.
After a short discussion over who
should get the contract the mayor
stated he would find out from police
headquarters how Johnson, who has
had the contract for the past year has
been serving his meals, and after a
few Moments spent at the telephone
returned and stated that his informa-
ton was that johnson had given per-
feet satisfaction and he did not think
it advisable to change contractors.
a vote was taken and the contract
was awarded to johnson without a
dissenting voice. Just how much one
half cent on each meal served would
have saved the city no one seemed TO
/ inquire.
With his bid Johnson submitted the
following list which might be drawn
/ from to make a meal: Breakfast, pork
chop, beck steak, sausage, hamburger,
] liver, bacon and eggs, sausage, fried
potatoes, doughnuts and coffee, the
/ latter two items, each morning. Din

"SURE | BIT her.
Jack Hammill COnfesses to
Nibbling at Mrs. Herman.
Herman Is Fined $50 and Takes
an Appeal.

1t cost Walter Herman of 213 Ad-
ans street a fifty-dollar fine to make
good his alleged threat that he was
going to get Jack Hammill before
the later left town. That he came
very near getting Hammill was tes-
titled to in police court this morning.
The fight took place last night down
on Adams street where Herman and
Hammill live as neghbors but not in a
neighborly fashion.
Herman was placed in Jail last
night, so also was his wife, known to
the police as Big Onion" This
morning Herman showed Up in court
with a bandage over one eye and one
side of his face due to the fact. he
said, that he collided with a brick
shortly after it left the hand of Ham
mill. Hammill was in court a few
minutes later and he could scarcely
get a hat on. His story indicated that
a brick or some other missile in Her
mans hands had come in contact with
the bald spot on the top of his head.
After Hammill and Herman had
f; both told their stories, Mrs. Herman
was brought into the court room. She
was limping, but not from any injury
charged to Hammill. She suffered a
( broken leg in another fracas not long
ago. But she alleged she could show
tooth marks on her arm and that
Hammill's teeth would fit the marks.
According to the story given the
/ greatest credence by Robert Yates,
police judge. Herman started the fight
which took place on HammilTs prop
erty. Hammill was preparing to move
/ to OMntana when Herman passed his
barn and called him Il name. In less
than a minute bricks were flying.
! Mrs. Herman left her house to help
her husband and two boys employed
by Hammill joined in. Pitchforks
came into play. Herman pulled a
Ratchet from his pocket. Then Ham
mill used his teeth and sent for po-
lice assistance.
Sure l bit her. said Hammfll.
''She was holding my arms so Her.
man could beat me and | bit her in
order to get away"
Judge Yates fined Herman $50 and
! turned Mrs. Herman loose. Herman
filed an appeal bond of $50 and was
released.

PLANS To MAKE IT GO
Receiver Will Install Motor Service on
the L., I. & S. W.

The long line of misfortune that
has trailed in the wake of the Leav-
enworth, Topeka & Southwestern rail
road holds no terrors for w. a. Austin,
receiver for the road. Following a
conference with members of the util-
tiles commission late Friday, Mr. Aus
tin announced that motor car will
be added to the equipment of the L.
& T. This will comply with an order
made recently by the commission di-
recting that IT, road add a passenger
train to it's service.
Refusal to become discouraged over
the poor showing made by the L. & T.
in the past is due Mr.. Austin declares
to a suspicion that the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa F'e and the Union Pa
cific which controlled the Leaven-
worth & Topeka routed over their
own lines considerable business that
might have been handled by the
orphaned" l.. & T.
Another reason for the poor show
ing made by the road. the receiver
believes, was its lack of facilities for
handling properly either freight or
passenger business

ASQU|TH ON MISSION
In Rome Will Interview Pope Prob
ably on U. 5. Irish Reactionaries.

Rome. April Premier Asquith
appeared on the balcony of the Brit
ish embassy Friday evening to salute
a great crowd of people who had gath
cred to cheer him.
I'VE are here" he said, ito further
the victory of right and justice"
1T is said that Mr.. Asquith when
he had concluded his conference with
the Italian ministers will pay a sit
tomorrow to Pope Benedict at the
Vatican. He is also to visit King Vic
tor Emmanuel at the front. The re-
port that the premier will visit Pope
Benedict and Cardinal Gasparri, the
papal secretary of state, is disc1sse d
by the local newspapers. The Tribuna
ventures the opinion that the subjects
to be discussed in the British states
mans interview with the head of the
Catholic church would deal chiefly
with Irish affairs and the participation
of Irish Catholics in the war.
The newspaper also thinks that tbs
question of the Irish in America would
be discussed as a portion of them are
conducting "A most audacious campaign
in favor of the central empires" 9th
er newspapers express the opinion that
Pope Benedict desires to take advan-
tage of Asquith's presence in Rome to
make another effort in favor of peace

will be attended by unsettled weather
and quite general rains east of the

Columbus, n. NJ, April 1.-Colum-

with a shifting currency system

MILK DEALERS FIGHT
Producers Refuse to Deliver Product
to Distributors in Chicago.

Chicago. April 1.-The fight be-
tween approximately 1000 milk pro-
ducers of Northern Illinois and the
largest distributors in the city reached
a climax today when the producers an
nounced they would no longer furnish
milk to the distributors at the price
formerly paid.
1t is feared the controversy may
produce a serious shortage in the city's
milk supply. Officials of the pro-
ducers' association asserted there
would be a shortage of more than q
million quarts in the regular supply
today claiming that 5000 producers
would refuse to send their milk to the
city.
Officers of the distributing COM
panies, however, say they have met
the situation by contracting with 9TH
err producers for sufficient milk and
that there will be no shortage.

WEEKS MARKETS
Rail Stocks Heavy Despite
Showing of Earnings.
Copper, Sugar and War Stocks
in Renewed Activity.

New York, April Prices in the
stock market this week were irregu-
larly heavy in consequence of foreign
developments The submarine situa-
ton and Mexican affairs restricted
dealings to a marked extent and de-
pressed quotations. Another adverse
factor was the continued lack of pub
lie interest.
There were some noteworthy excep-
tons, especially in the later trading,
when coppers, sugars and some of the
war shares became active, a few MAX
ing new high records Rails were
persistently heavy with pronounced
pressure up on New York Central,
Hew Haven and a few of grangers and
few trans-continentaals. This was at
tributed to further foreign liquidation,
although bankers with international
connections denied selling for London
or the continent.
Course InexplicabIe.
The course of rails was the more in
applicable from the fact that a num-
Der of very excellent statements of
earnings for February was presented.
