ILLINOIS "WETS" WIN FI6HT
SALOON MAKE GAINS ALL OVER
THE STATE.
Liquor Interests Victorious In 146
Towns and Cities—Regain
37 From “Dry*.'
Chicago.—The local option vote In
Illinois cities and town showed a ten
dency in favor of the “wets," when «t
is compared with the simitar contests
of two years ago
Almost everywhere the "wets" held
onto the cities where saloons have
Sourished. and in only a few in
stances were their votes cut down,
in addition, they won a considerable
number of cities bach from the
"drys," who had driven out the
saicons In the elections of two years
ago in a large number of cities the
wet majorities showed considerable
increase.
The "drys" gained a few cities from
the "wets," but none of these were of
importance.
Returns from 163 towns showed
that 99 had voted in favor of saioons
and 64 against them.
Of the 99 credited to the "wets" 37
had been voted "dry" two years ago.
Out ot 64 which voted "dry,” only
14 represented places which had been
taken out of the "wet" column.
The biggest "wet" victories were
represented by the return of the
saloons to Decatur, Rockford and Mat
toon, whose capture by the “drys"
two years ago had been considered a
remarkable triumph for the Prohibi
tionists. in addition to these, the
"wets" recaptured, among others. Ba
la via, Belvtdere, Clinton. Fairbury.
.Naperville and Pana.
The “wets” also succeeded in hold
ing onto Aurora. Bloomington. Dan
ville, Centralia, Elgin, Freeport.
Joliet, Waukegan, Moline. Spriugtield
and Sterling.
The anti-saloon forces end?d the
Jav with no notable victories, although
tne tact that they held their own in
the city of Galesburg, which they kept
in the "dry" column, and the tact that
they won over several minor places,
gave them some cause for rejoicing
The most notable fight of the day
was that made in Danville, where tor
a time it seemed as though Governor
Deneen might have to use the militia
to end rioting The disturbances were
put down, however, without such ex
tremes. But when the votes were
counted it was found that Danville
uaa ueec neiu in tne column t»v
a majority of 1,01$. This, however,
was a decided decrease from the 2.500
majority of two years ago. and the
“drys'' claimed that their work had
not been entirely in vain.
In Chicago aldermanic election the
Democrats won a victory electing 21
members to the common council. The
Republicans elected 13 and the Inde
pendents one. A Republican majority
of 11 in the present council was
changed to a minority of six.

Into Methods of Elgin Board
in Fixing Prices.
Washington. — Attorney General
Wickersharu Thursday ordered a strict
investigation of the Elgin board with
a view- to prosecuting or dissolving
the organization as a conspiracy in

as the butter trust.
As a matter of fact the Elgin body
of butter producers has been under
investigation for some time, but the
testimony of President Newman and
Vice-President Wood before the l^xlge
committee forced the hand of the De
partment of Justice and the open ord
er for an investigation was given.
Both Mr Newman and Mr. Wood
testified that while the prices are con
trolled by New- York, the board at
Elgin does actually fix each Monday
the price that is to be paid for but
ter for the entire week. As they also
testified that within the Elgin dis
trict are the southern tier of counties
of Wisconsin, the eastern tier of
Iowa and all of Illinois, and further
that practically all the butter in
which the board deals is shipped east.

Three of thetr number were cap

They then blew up the bank build
