HITCHCOCK-BARTLEY.
We reproduce above a copy of one of
the letters between Congressman
Hitchcock and Joseph Bartley, which
hare caused such a big political sea
ation. Edgar Howard, one of the
moat prominent democrats in the state
and editor of the Columbus Telegram,
produced photographic copies of a
number of letters which passed be
tween Mr. Hitchcock and Mr. Bartley,
while Bartley was still holding the of
fice of state treasurer, and relating to
money transactions. Bartley turned
out a defaulter to the extent of over
half a million dollars of etate funds,
and served a term In state prison for
the offense. It has always been a
mystery where the money went It
will be noticed that the letter is ad
dressed to Bartley as treasurer and
not as a banker or an individual, and
la dated during the time that he was
treasurer of the state. Other lettera
and telegrams have been published,
which paesed between Hitchcock and
Bartley at this time. While Hitch
cock claims that the money he bor
rowed of Bartley was Bartley's private
funds, most of the newspapers of the
state have scoffed at this explanation.
SENATOR BURKET ENDORSED BY
INSURGENT SENATORS.
The progressives among the repub
lican senators are coming to the aid
of Senator Burkett In his fight for re
election. Certainly these senators are
in a position to know of the work
of our senior senator, and their judg
ment ought to be accepted by the hon
est inquirer.
Senator Bristow.
Last week Senator Bristow, the in
urgent Senator from Kansas, said of
Senator Burkett:
"I should be very much pleased to
render any assistance I could to Sen
ator Burkett, but I have spent so
much time outside of Kansas already
that I cannot any longer neglect the
Kansas campaign.
"While upon a number of voteB Sen
ator Burkett and I did not agree, yet
he was of especial value to the pro
gressive cause, not only in the tariff
fight In behalf of a genuine revision,
but also in the fight for effective and
efficient legislation regulating the rail
roads, he rendered fine service.
"Wishing you success, I am
"Very truly yours,
"JOSEPH L. BRISTOW."
Senator Bevsrldge.
And now comes Senator Beveridge,
the fighting insurgent senator from
Indiana, who last week wrote to the
chairman of the republican state com
mittee aa follows:
"I am very sure the people of Ne
braska will return Senator Burkett
to the senate. The great progressive
movement that Is sweeping over this
country needs every man of progres
sive tendencies. Generally speaking,
the politicians now in control of the
Democratic party are not putting up
uch men. The whole tendency of the
cabal of dominant politicians now in
control of that party Is reactionary.
One has only to consider the domi
nant Influences In that party from
New York and Ohio to Texas and
Georgia.
"I am exceedingly sorry that the
engagements already made will pre
vent niy coming to Nebraska, for I
Ex-President Roosevelt.
In a speech at Omaha on September
tnd, 1910, ex-President Roosevelt said:
"Senator Burkett was one of the men
on whom I especially relied when I
was president, both while he was in
the House and In the Senate. I was
able to accomplish what I did in
Washington only because of the way
I was backed by men like Senator
Burkett, and as we huve a guest from
Iowa present, let me ay, llko Senator
Pol liver."

should like very much Indeed to be
of any possible assistance that I could
in the re-election of Senator Burkett.
He should be returned; and I have
no doubt he will be returned.
"With kind regards,
"Sincerely,
-, . . "ALBERT J. BEVERIDGE."
Senator LaFollette.
Senator LaFolIette's Magazine, in
an article reviewing Senator Burkett's
work said:
"To get the truth about Senator
Burkett, you must get close. You must
study his record. When you do this,
you will see that he is a progressive
progressing. Tou will find that dur
ing the railroad legislation of 190S
he took strong strides in the people's
cause. You will' find him forging
ahead with the merest handful of re
publican senators in support of the
amendment to provide for the physical '
valuation of railroad property aa a
basia for the regulations of railroad
rules, an' amendment that was anathe-!
ma to the 'system' leaders of the Sen-1
ate. You will find him springing for- j
ward to the support of an amendment
to protect the railway employees and
to fix a just liability upon the rail
roads for their injuries incurred in
this hazardous service. You will find
him afterwards charging the ramparts
of the 'system' in behalf of the rail
road company employee's liability bill.
You will find him again voting consis
tently, roll-call after roll-call, while
'system' senators were 'ducking' into
the cloak rooms to avoid the vote, to
put to passage in the Senate the bill
to promote the safety of the traveling
public and the employees of railways
by fixing a reasonable limitation on
the hours of railroad employees en
gaged In the operation of trains."
Senator Cummins.
In a speech at Lincoln on last Thurs
day Senator Cummins of Iowa said:
"I am here, however, as most of you
know my chief purpose at least in
visiting Lincoln at this time, is to
contribute, if I can contribute with
the little influence that my words
may have, to the re-election of my as
sociate in the Senate of the United
States, and my friend, Elmer J. Bur
kett. I have known him well; I have
known him long.
I say to his fellowmen, and fellow
townsmen something that la altogeth
er unnecessary, that I believe, as hav
ing witnessed his work In two of the
severest struggles that have ever been
seen in the Senate of the United
States, that Elmer Burkett does what
he believes to be right and votes as
hie conscience telle him he ought to
vote and no more than that can be
asked of any man.
He has served you with not only
great fidelity, but I think he has
served you with eonspiououe ability, I
and we who have ( I hope you will
not think me egotistical when I say
this) some definite idea of what should
be done in the future, and intend to
accomplish it la every way that we
can, (honorably can) want Elmer
Burkett in the Senate Instead of Oil
bert Hitchcock in the Senate, for the
reasons which I shall attempt In the
plainest and simplest way to state."
tienator Cummins in his speech at
Chicago says nothing is to be gained
by trusting either house of Congress
to the democrats. He baa seen some
of them at close range.
When ou think how doll business
was when, the democratic party wa
last in power, isn't it a big risk tc

E
STATE OF ILLINOIS IS -VICTOR
OVER RAILROAD UNDER DECI
SION BY HIGH COURT.
OVERRULES LINE DEMURRER
Case Goes to La Salle County Court
to Be Heard on Merita Action
Based en Findings of Accountants
That Reports Had Been Changed.
Springfield, 111. A decision of the
supreme court of Illinois was handed
down Friday In the tax case of the
state against the Illinois Central Rail
road company.
The state won every important con
tention with the exception that the
opinion holds the accounts prior te
1905 have been accepted by the state
and payment made therlon, and that
therefore they are not subject to fur
ther inquiry.
But for the future settlements and
for the settlement of all accounts
since Governor Deneen came into of
fice, the court lays down hard and
fast rules for accounting by which
the state will reap a reward of $2,
000,009 a year more in taxes than It
has been receiving from the Illinois
Central Railroad company.
When the Illinois Central tendered
its first payment under Governor De
neen's administration he accepted the
money with the understanding the ac
counting upon which the money was
tendered was subject to revision. Tbla
act on the part of the governor, the
court holds, makes all transactions
with the road during his administra
tion subject to further accounting.
The court remands the case to the
circuit court of La Salle county, with
instructions to proceed In accordance
with the views In Its opinion. Unless
the railroad accepts the court's de
cision aa final, the circuit court of
La Salle county will no doubt appoint
s, master to go into all the details of
the accounting since 1905, and the
case may be prolonged indefinitely.
At present the railroad is paying ap
proximately $1,000,000 to the state
very year.
The suit against the Illinois Central
was filed early In December, 1907, by
the attorney general, following a mes
sage from Governor Deneen to the
legislator, declaring that the road
had been so manipulating its accounts
as to credit millions of its earnings
to the non-charter lines, iiot subject
to theMax ctf 7 per cent. Later ac
counting swelled "the amount which
Governor Deneen declared the road
owed to the state from $5,000,000 to
$15,000,000.
RIOTS IN DRIVERS' STRIKE
Walkout of Express Employes Spreads
to New York City Violence Fol
lows Business at Standstill.
New York. The strike of drivers
and helpers employed by nil the lar
ger express companies that for sev
eral days has been In progress at the
railroad terminals on the Jersey City
side of the North river, spread to
New York Friday, and as a result the
entire business of receipt and deliv
ery of all goods in transit was ma
terially affected.
The situation is in a veritable state
of chaos with an outlook for even
worse conditions unless the express
matter piling up at the railroad de
pots can be moved. The police seem
powerless to render sufficient protec
tion and the men ready to hire out
as strike-breakers are very diffident
about applying for the positions.
Scenes of violence were enacted all
over the city, wagons being stonei?
and drivers beaten.
In Jersey City and Hoboken, where
the large stables are located, the strike
has completely tied up the companies
and perishable goods, as a conse
quence, are accumulating In huge
plies.
The express companies have made
tentative application to Governor Fort
for the calling out of the militia to
guard their wagons and buildings, but
the Jersey City police authorities are
confident that they can handle the
situation.

greatest conquerors of the air, Alan R.

The United States consul was there
to greet them, as well as a number of
enthusiastic citizens who cheered them
lustily.
Their balloon, the America II, is
still at Lake du Banc de Sable, the
township In which they landed. It
Is believed that Joseph Pednaud and
Joseph Simard, two trappers who
brought the balloonlsts in a bark
canoe to St Ambrolse, will go back
and see what can be done to get the
big bag from its cache on the side of
the mountain to the railroad here.
Messrs. Hawley and Post landed
about 46 hours after their departure
from St. Louis. The balloon basket
touched earth at 8:35 the afternoon of
October 19. They probably flew about
1,600 miles, although the direct dis
tance between the two points, on
which the international race Is de
cided, is only 1,355 miles. This would
make their average rate of progress
about 35 miles an hour.

Victoria, B. C Fire, which started
late Wednesday night and burned with
unabated fury, swept through the heart
of the city's business section, wiping
out several of the finest buildings and
causing a loss estimated at $1,600,000
to $2,000,000. Huge firebrands float
ed on the high wind, which swept
toward the water front, and It was
with great difficulty that the firemen,
aided by the mllltla and the garrison
at Work Point barracks, kept the
flames from sweeping a broad path to
the edge of the water.
Many blazing embers were carried
out over the bay, endangering the
shipping In the harbor.
Among the buildings burned were
the Victoria Times office and the Five
Sisters building, a five-story offlce
block. The five-story Pemberton build
