rase 118. POLITICAL. Efforts to force a receivership for the Southern Indiana and the Chicago Southern railroads, known generally as the John R. Walsh railroads," were begun yesterday in Chicago. Representatives of the Chicago clearing house, and a group of bondholders Interested in conserving the properties, entered into conference with Mr.

Walsh with this end in view, and it was reported that prospects of a successful termination of their efforts seemed good. Critical conditions following the failure of the Southern Indiana road to pay the interest on its bonds due on Aug. 1, it is said, led to the interest manifested in securing a seceivership, and It Is intimated that Mr. Walsh. who heretofore has refused to consider such a proposition, is now amenable to it.

The Hodenpyl-Fernald Bondholders Protective association, organized last week, and E. K. Boiset and James C. Hutchins. representing the clearing house interests.

are the mainsprings in the movement, and both interests are regarded as being equally concerned in getting a receivership without delay. Trying to Save the Properties. To these interests the receivership is regarded as the only alternative to an exploitation of the road which would leave the bondholders with little but paper to show for their money. Until within a few days such action was regarded only as among the possibilities. but advice from New York changed this attitude.

It was learned that eastern bondholders, beaded by R. R. Govin and known as the Gavin committee, is about ready to take action leading to a receivership unless some one should forestall them. These bondholders are not regarded by local interests as being anxious about the success of the roads or the preservation of their entities. Their holdings are said to be small, and it is charged that they are in the game only for what it will bring, rtgardiess of the good of the properties.

On the other hand, it is considered assured -that If a receiver friendly to the road and approved by the clearing house is appointed money to meet the defaulted interest will be forthcoming without delay and the properties win be saved from a plunge Into an abyss of contending and purely aCtish interests. Consent of Walsh Expected. Such a receivership as is now urged upon Mr. Walsh, it is asserted, not only would avert present disaster, but would insure the conservative management and administration of the rods hereafter, maintaining the present value of the property and establishing a secure basis for a vigorous business management Which otherwise would be lacking. Various previous attempts to persuade Mr.

Walsh to consent to a receivership for these roads have been made and have failed. Strong in his conviction of the great value of the properties and fearful of their depreciation, he has insisted steadily that no conservator be selected. and even after the failure to meet the August payment on bond inter: he maintained that the money would be forthcoming shortly. The crucial necessities which have appeared in the light of the activbeles of eastern interest are the only considerations, it it bellevetU which Would move him to such action now. Fetzer Mentioned for Receiver.

Men acquainted with the financial situation discussed the probability that John C. Fetzer would be chosen receiver, in case one is selected with Mr. 'Walsh's approval. In his management of the receivership of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank, following the flight of Paul O. Stens land, its president.

Mr. Fetzer established a number of worlds records in the rapidity and economy with which the banks tangled affairs were straightened out and handled, and, what is considered more to the point in the case of these railroads, his economy and foresight in administering the properties involved won him much confidence among financial men. His personal connections also are such that it is believed he would be at least as acceptable to all interests concerned as any other man who could be named. Trouble for the Walsh railroad beg-an when National Bank Examiner Bosworth started an examination of the Chicago National bank in December, 1905. As the result of his investigations, the Clearing House association on Dec.

18 agreed to take over the assets of the bank and see that the depositors were paid in full. Among the assets were the pledged properties of the Southern Indiana and the Chicago Southern railways, both of which had borrowed heavily from Walsh's banking enterprises. Dineen. Yates.

Mr. Here ly also announced, that because of the large number of accidents reported from the surface railway lines these casualties will be kept separate from all other szcident reports, for greater facility in refer, ence. While defeated in the official count of the votes cast for the states attorneyship in the primary election, which was completed last night, John J. Healy will make a contest for the nomination. J.

E. W. Wayman, hie opponent. led by 939. In the final canvass Alfred R.

Porter won over John T. O'Connell with a plurality of 231 in the fight for the nomination as clerk of the Appellate-court. Almost simultaneously with the announcement of the plurality given Mr. Wayman Assistant State's Attorney Barbour declared that hundreds of cases of fraud in the netne Mating contest will be prosecuted. The declaration that scores of indictments will be based upon illegal practices on Aug.

a was made Immediately after the receipt of a telegram from Mr. Healy. who is at his summer borne at Shelbourne Falls, Mass. This coincidence alone convinced. Mr.

Barbour's hearers that it was his superior and not he who had sounded the call to battle and the fight meant more than an attack upon dishonest election methods. Healy Ready for Fight The message did not includes thepermission to file pape.rs of contest for which the states attorney's friends have been watching but the fact that it came in response to letters detailing evidence. of fraud was taken to bear out the inference repeatedly given that he would make the fight if the weapons were placed in his hands, These same friends did not grieve that he failed to tell them to take full charge of his political affairs. They read between the lines of the brief dispatch the fulfillment of the promise intimated confidentially when be left the city that if he were beaten by unfair means he would use every method in his power to exact his rights and to insure cleaner elections in the future. Friends Secure Affidavits.

His friends. a large number of whom have devoted all their time during the last week to Investigating rumors and complaints of improper tactics in many of the wards of the city, now have on file more than 100 cases, in the majority of which either the names of several witnesses or affidavits from the complainants themselves appear. They assert, rejoicing in the new turd affairs have taken, that they have not yet made a good beginning of their labors. Thus far their investigators have penetrated only I few wards. Including the Fifth, Ninth, sad Nineteenth, among the most notorious.

and there remain at least a dozen more in which bad practices are said to have been used by their opponents, notably the Tenth and the Third. Neither Mr. Barbour nor any of his volunteer assistants in the widespread, inquiry is able to predict the total number of cases that finally will be prepared. They do aver that they will be begun in at least three placesthe County court, the Municipal courts, and the grand jury room. Tells of Investigation.

have been instructed to begin a most thorough investigation," said Mr. Barbour, and I shall endeavor to discover the extent of the fraudulent practices in the primaries before I shall have any idett of the range of the prosecutions. "I believe there will be big reeults. There has been a great deal of evidence brought into this office already by friends of Mr. Healy and by others who, while taking no part in bringing about his defeat, bad knowledge of the methods used and desire to see the lawbreakers punished.

I am told that there are a great number of complaints now under investigation. not only by Mr. Healy's friends, but by the eleetion commissioners, and the total, in addition to being large, will also Include men of all eta-lions of life, for the offenders include not only the repeaters at the polls, but the election judges and clerks, and even men still higher up, including some to whom a small bill paid for a vote here or there would not seem extravagance." Detectives at Work. Pe stated that the research will be conducted mainly by detectives working from his office, and since Detectives, Bean and McAuliffe are the only ones hot on a vacation, be will appeal to Chief Shippy for an additional detail for the work. He was in some doubt as to the time the Prosecutions will be begun.

"I do not believe Mr. Healy will return for several weeks," be said, and there Is little Chance of his coming back to call a special rand jury. The next regular panel will meet early In September, and it is probable that the first prosecution of that kind will be begun then." He knew Only by hearsay of additional plans that are reported to be under consideration by the group of Mr. Healy's friends who have been operating independently of his office and who are said to be contemplating the hiring of lawyers for the prosecution of cases in the Municipal courts. "I shall not be surprised If it is proved that Mr.

Healy was robbed of a good portion of the plurality now accredited to Mr. Way-men," was his parting significant utterance. It was taken to mean that the results of the Criminal prosecution will be urged as sufficient basis for reopening the ballots. Inquiry in Tenth Ward. The chief activity of the Healy workers Curing the day was in the Tenth ward.

although several of them spent the evening In the Third, securing evidence that an improper form of affidavit of residence, greatly resembling that of the election commissioners but using the date of March 21 instead of March 17, was frequently presented by the Yates-Wayman lieutenants and was accepted by the judges. In the Tenth, aided, by several Jews, they were investigating reports that the names of hundreds of that race who were kept from the polls by religious scruples, were voted by "repeaters" One in particular they were looking into was that the name of a rabbi, known throughout the district, was voted by drunken hdbo."

This was decided upon after members of the attorney general'. staff had looked up the Isis in the subject with State's Attorney Bert Miller of Kankakee, who bad been at Springfield trying to arrange for Klein's release by the military authorities, all day. Calls It Wanton Murder.

Within twenty-four hours Klein will be in jail at Kankakee." said Mr. Miller. The military inquiry which exonerated Klein was a farce. It-proved only one thing. that Klein committed the act The boy was run through with the bayonet from the back.

The bayonet went clear through the body. It was wanton murder And not an accident" Coroner L. E. Fenouille when asked to give his opinion of the verdict of the court of inquiry said: Personally I think the military authorities are wrong in exonerating the soldier without having heard the persons at Kankakee who were eye witnesses of the affair. From the evidence I have so far received I would call it a clear case of murder.

I do not know whether the military and civil laws conflict in regard to a crime such as that with which the soldier is charged. but I think the matter should hs heard in the civil courts." Boy's Father Talks of Case. George W. Nelson. father of the dead boy, says the action of the soldier was unnecessary under the circumstances.

MOVEMENT, OF OCEAN STEAMsHrPS. Patrons of the elevated roads who use the stations; in the loop district are to have benches provided for their accotthnodation while waiting for trains. Decision that such provisioi should be made for the benefit of paseengers of the Union Loop company was reached yesterday by City Traction Expert M. B. Here ly, after listening to reports of spree of complaint agatrust the company for its failure to take the question without being prodded.

The loop officials will be asked today by Mr. Here ly to begin providing seats on the loop platforms for the benefit of those who, rather than stand first on one foot and then on the other while waiting for delayed trains, are taking advantage of the improved transportation offered by surface limes, with often the certainty of a seat from the moment he pays his fare, and always a good prospect of getting one soon after. Furthermore, it has been explained by complainants, even if it is necessary to stand for a time in a surface car, the passenger Is being transported toward his destination, and not merely killing time. Platforms Are Inspected. An in epection of the loop etations yesterday afternoon showed a total absence of seats of any sort on the platforms at such places that they would be available after a passenger's fare had been collected.

It also showed that if the weighing machines, chewing gum devices, lumber and garbage which pow incumber the platforms were removed there would be plenty of space for paseenleers' benches without any more crowding than exists at present. All along the line of stations passengers were found leaning against posts or lounging upon the railings which edge the That efforts have been made to find more comfortable ways of resting and waiting was assured from a sign scrawled upon a newsstand at the Clark street station. Please do not trse this bench to sit on," said the polite sign. but investigation stowed that the edge of the stand was worn smooth by persons who wished to sit down more than they cared to respect written notices. much Junk Is Discovered.

Although the huge piles of lumber which long decorated the elevated stations have been removed, for the moat part, plenty of junk hae been left to occupy the valuable platform space and to give substance to the complaint that the platforms are now overcrowded. At Adams street, a pile of water spouting, three feet high, spreads over much valuable territory. At the end of the platform, however, a condition. scarcely tolerable in an alley exiets, and, according to Mr. Herely, has existed for a long time.

Here a lot of garbage cane. full to the brim, fill the space for ten or fifteen i feet from the end of the platform. In a good breeze the top layer of their contents finds its way Into the faces of the waiting passengers, who for once are benefited by not having seats in that they are able to get away from the dust showers. Take Up Question Today. I have considered the seating question," said Mr.

Herely. Today I shall take it up with the loop officiate. There is room for row of benches along the back of the platform. and perhaps between the posts which support the roofing. At the beginreing of my work I found some benches built into the runways, and, because by observation I found that they were stumbling block to the people.

I had them taken out. The trouble lay In the location of the benches and not in the fact that they existed. As to the trash and equipment which now cumbers the platforms, I have had to keep after that all the time, and it is gelmez ally erplained that the road. are Just getting around to removing it Moat of it has been Is a crime for a billy goat to eat a floral wreath and symbols of death, and if so what offense should the animal be charged with? Lieut. John, Hartford, in command of the Lake street station, is in a emandary whether a charge of larceny or slot talism should be placed against the goat, mod Policeman Michael O'Toole, who arrested the animal, thinks the charge of resisting an officer should be aded to the other two.

O'Toole was traveling his post In West Lake street last might when he was called upon to arrest the billy goat for eating a bunch of flowers and a streamer of crepe that hung from the door knob of a house on his beat. The goat was nibbling at the wreath when some one in the house went to the door. Fearing he would lose his feast, the goat with a sharp tug pulled the flowers and crepe from their fastenings and ram O'Toole came along about that time and was importuned by the family of the one for whom the death symbol was on the door to arrest the goat. The animal swallowed the floral emblem and part of the crepe before the policeman could conquer him with his club. He finally was overpowered and taken to the station In the patrol (BY A STAFF CoRgESPONDENTJ Springfield, Aug 18.

2 a. The mob spirit has not been entirely tram. pled out in Springfield. This was shown last night, when, despite the presence of thousands of militiamen. there were sporadic outbursts of lawlessness in many sections of the city.

None of them was serious, however, being confined to disturbances caused by groups of two or three men. Thecenter of the trouble was Harvard park, a suburb, where twice during the evening patrols were Bred upon, from ambush. Troops were rushed to the scene both times and during the second hunt a shot fired from an alley struck the sword scabbard carried by Lieut. Ridge-way of Company E. First Infantry.

The shooter escaped. The ffirst disturbance followed an attack upon Tom Richardson, a brother of George Richardson, the negro accused of having assaulted Mrs. Mabel Hallam. Richardson. who was a driver for a packing firm, left his wagon standing in the street and escaped to the Illinois Central station.

where he took a train for Mississippi. Later guards picked up James and William Richardson, also brothers of George Richardson. and locked them in the Jail It was stated that they had been inmates of the Jackeonville asylum. and that their arrest was a measure taken for public safety. Two Soldiers Fired Upon.

Eart Ashley end Guy Duncan. two members of corbpany Fifth infantry. of Bloomington, were fired on from an alley as they were patroling in the neighborhood of Spring and Edwards streets, the scene of the Dormegan lynching. The soldiers were not hit. Two hundred troopers and cavalry were hurried to the spot, but the marauders escaped in the dark nese.

Shots were heard from other points in the vicinity. Five men were arrested at Eighth and Ash streets. Another call for assistance came from the state fair grounds. It was reported that a band of armed negroes had gathered there. No trace of the band was found, although the hunt was continued far north to the Devereux mines.

Another call, reporting that regeoes were gathering at Fourteenth 'street and Matheny avenue. was anewered by the cave airliner, but nothing out of the ordinary was found. Militiaman Is Arrested. Over in the western end of town, in the vicinity of the state house and arsenal, there were several cases of revolver firing by rowdies. The marauders obeyed the orders of militia patrols to keep moving, but as soon as they were well passed by the groups of soldiers they drew revolvers, fired into the air, and fled down side street escaping In the darkness.

Both roads, Mr. Bosworth declared, were properly planned. conservatively built, and in every way designed to be paying properties. In Walsh' trial on a charge of misapplying the bank's fund, the story of powerful opposition to his railroads wag developed by the defense, in explanation of the sums which were used for their benefit, and it was explained that, because of lack Of terminal faacilities, these properties, valuable in themselves.

were compelled to turn over to connecting lines so much of their receipts that their own business was a hindrance. Walsh, always a fighter, was struggling against this handicap, when trouble came upon him from government sources. It is because of the foresight and genius which Walsh is admitted to have displayed in planning these railroads and, the verification. by financial experts and the subsequent course of events. of his faith in them, that be has refused steadfastly to consider the idea of a receivership for them.

To him receiverships have appeared to be In general calamities in which at times perfectly good properties are swallowed up in a vortex of legal actions, and titles once tolerably clear become inextricably involved.
