DECREASE IN CRIME IN IRELAND rollc Reports How Half of Offrmn Are Dne to Drnnkennes Dublin Printers nnd Foreign Prarer Rooki. DUBLIN, Aug. . (Special.) It has been a lielli'f almost amounting to the dignity of a tradition that the truck act, aa the law prohibiting- an employer from paying his employe! In goods Instead of In caBh la called, was honestly and thoroughly en forced throughout the United Kingdom, but facta which have juat come to light show that It la a dead letter In Donegal. Miss Martlndale, an Inspector of factories gumbeenlng" are as prevalent In Donegal today as In the old days before the pas sage of the act. Thousands of Donegal girls are occupied at home work "Sprlg- ' . 1 . ! . . ) . ...... AmV.rnMarlnv h.fiillrar. chiefs, hand and machine knitting and ma chining and finishing snlrts and collar. The work la done for the great Belfast and Derry manufacturers, but In justice to them It must be said that they have noth ing to do with the evasion of the truck act. The fault lies with their agents, who are mostly local shopkeepers, and through whom the work Is distributed to the Don egal girls. Miss Martlndale says that she has found that It Is rare In Donegal to find a girl who Is paid In coin for her work. As a matter of form the money may be banded to her, but she Is expected to spend it at once In the agent's shop, and more often she never sees the money at all, but receives goods which are supposed to represent the value of her work. Spend Money at Agents' Shops. "Continually we are told," says Miss Martlndale, "that unless the money' Is left at the shop no work would be given, and , we become accustomed to the remarks: 'Out of friendship we might be getting a little coin,' "Sure It's only with a great aqueeae we get any money at all' and 'He's mlddltn' hard on coin.' "The workers themselves seem to feel no reeontment and to regard It as a matter of course that they should spend all their money at the agent's shop. 'Indeed and It's ashamed I'd be not to leave my wages at the shop' said on girt to the inspector, while another said '1 hav never taken a halfpenny from Mlsa B.. and I get' a great dtul of work from her.' " One of the worst features of the system Is that the money must all be spent on useless finery, as the agents are nearly all small dry goods dealers. Not one of Ihwu ells floir, bacon or meal or other necessi ties fur tho Donegal peasants. Kilt question Still Unsolved. The great Irish kilt question Is still un solved. Mr. Hazelton, M. P., has written an amusing letter to Black Rod, the anti quated official who objected to the presence In the House of Lords of a gentleman wearing tho Irish kilt. In which he draws Bliick Rod's attention to the fact that the king sometimes wears kilts and that he (Black Rod) does not wear trousers him self, but Black Rod has not seen fit to reply. The Irish members of Parliament are now seriously considering the advisa bility of appearing In the House of Com mons in kilts as a protest, and Mr. Hasel ton declares that he will bring several of bis friends who wear kilts to the House of Lords Just to see what Black Rod will do about it. Crime Is on Decrease. Crime In Ireland continues to decrear! with satisfying rapidity. The statistics for 1907, which have Just been Issued, show that there were only 8.418 Indictable of fences before the courts In 1907, as com pared with S.465 In 1HU and t.Tii In 1905. There was a corresponding decrease In the number of non-lndletable offences and It 1 notable that 61.4 per cent of the total 4nuinbr of o'fencca dealt with by the courts Were, either drunkenness or the minor t- . .. . .. ... I.. rt ..t.Hli.nnn.B .lint. A assaults and disorderly conduct. There Is, however, a welcome decrease In offences of this class also. It has Just been discovered that a serious blunder was made last year by the De partment of Agriculture, which la one of the few boards connected with the Castle government that is doing any real good for Ireland. It has been the custom of the department to supply farmers with flax seed as a reward for success in growing (lax, and lust year the award waa earned y a large number of farmers In County CH-rry and In Tyrone. They got their flax seed and planted It, but when It came up It was discovered that the flax was of the kind wl.lih U only good for oil production and seeding purposes, but was no use at all as a fibre producer for linen making. As the only market for the Irish flax groweis Is afforded by the linen manufac turers the farmers have suffered a heavy loss and they are now railing on the de partment to reimburse them. I'rlntrrs Against Foreign Prnyerbook. j The Dublin printers are about to appeal j to ti e Irish bishops to put a stop to the purchase of Imported prayer books by prlo.-rta as prlaea fur children in the schools.

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-That the particl pators of Oovernor Hughes for a renoml- nallon do not intend to wait for officials of the national republican commute and the New York state leaders to deter mine the sentiment of the state on the. governorship was Indicated today by the announcement that Hughes masa meeting will be held In New York City at an early date and perhaps In other sections. It th Intention to have one meeting in Hadl- son Square Gaiden late this month. In the meantime. Mr. Hitchcock, chair man of ths national committee, Is going on with his Inquiries to determine sentiment in hi own way and some of th state leader, who are opposed to th renomlna- ttoa of Oovernor Hughe, are continuing to round up voters of similar belief on the Indications that He Has Carried Cook County by 6,000. FIRST TEST OF NEW LAW Poor Parties Hits Tickets la Field and Intense Interest I Taken In New Method of Select Inn; Candidate. , BULLETIN. CHICAGO, Aug. . Estimated returns for Cook county, based on the vote In 1,000 out of 1,392 precincts, show that Deneen has defeated Yatea for th re publican nomination for governor by about 4,000. This does not include any precinct outelde of Chicago and Coon county. An estimate based on returns from mor than half the precincts of Chicago Indi cate that Foss, republican candidate for the United States senate, has defeated Hopkins by about ,000 votes in this city. BULLETIN. CHICAGO, Aug. 8. James Hamilton Lewis at 9 o'clock appeared to have de feated his rivals for the democratlo nomi nation for governor by about 10,000 In Chi cago. Reports from other parts of the state remain to be heard from. CHICAGO, Aug. 8.-Indications are that an exceedingly heavy vote will be polled at today's primary election,' the Interest throughout the state being intense, par ticularly In the fight in th republican party for the gubernatorial nomination and for the recommendation for United States senator. Early returns were, as a matter of course, Indefinite. But Indications from the twenty flvo congressional districts of the state were that Hopkins was slightly leading in the republican contest for senator, with Foss a close second. Stringer was gen erally reported as In the lead for the demo cratic recommendation for United States senator. For governor the fight between Deneen and Yates was said 'to be close, and strong claims were made by tho managers of both candidates. Stevenson was generally men tioned as running strong for the de.moora.tlo gubernatorial nomination' in the state out side of Chicago. Th prohibitionists were putting ' tip a hard fight for Daniel R. Sheen of Peoria, but his vote" was not heavy',' tfTwas laid. First Test of Primary Law. When the polls opened at o'clock to day the first actual test of the di rect nomination of candidates throughout Illinois by direct vote of the people was com menced. ' The four parties are taking In today's primary; republicans, democrats, prohibitionists and socialists. The two parties first named have candidates for all of the state offices, for all congressional nominations, and for an almost Intermin able number of county and municipal of ficers. In addition they are taking an ad visory vote on United States senator, which office is to be filled by the next legislature. The men receiving the highest number of votes in connection with any office, on any of the four party tickets, will be the nominee of those parties for those par ticular offices. There will hereafter be no convention to name candidates or to ratify the selections made at today's primary election. The vote as registered today nominates the men, and placing their names upon the tickets. The republicans have four candidates for tho recommenda tion to be made to the legislature for United States senator. These are Senator Albert J. Hopkins, whose term Is about to expire; William E. Mason of Chicago, who was Senator Hopkins' predecessor; William C. Webster of Chicago, and Rep resentative George E. Foss of th Tenth district. , Fierce Fight for Governor. The democrats have two candidates, Lawrence B. Stringer of Lincoln, and Ad dison Blakely of Chicago. The fight for this position, particularly among the re publicans, has been bitter. The Interest concerning the senatorshtp recommendation, however. has been dwarfed by the fierce fight, which has waged In th republican party for the gubernatorial nomination. There are but two candidates, Goveror Charles S. Deneen, who Is seeking to return to his present position and former Oovernor Yates, who Is anxious to succeed Governor Deneen. The fight between these two has been ex ceptionally sharp and has been carried Into the far corners of the state. The democrats have seven candidates for governor, but the contest in that party not developed anything approaching the animosity with which the republican struggle has been carried on. The candi date for the democratlo nomination are Douglas Pattlaun of Free port, former Vice President Adlal E. SUvenion of Bloom Ington and John P. McGoorty, James Hamilton Lewis, Charles F. Ounther and James O. Monroe of Chicago. The name of Judge E. R. E. Klmhorugh of Danville, Is on the ballot, but he Is not an active candidate. The prohibition candidate for governor Is Daniel R. Sheen of Peoria and the socialist candidate Is J. H. Rrrwer of Chi cago. Retarn Will B Slow. It is believed that accurate returns from the election will be slower then for any vote ever taken In Chicago. There is an average of 600 name on each ballot, and In addition to this there is an average of 6,000 precinct committeemen in the democratic and republican parties, who are seeking office. There is, under the primary law, no such thing as a straight party vote, mad by placing a cross at th bead of th ticket. Every voter must mark th nam of every man whom he desires to nominate and this In Itself Is expected to make alow work at the polling places. It Is believed by th election com missionary that the result of th entire ticket will not be known until some time on Sunday and It may not be apparent even at that time. Th poll also are to remain open for on hour longer than at a regular election, closing at 6 o'clock in slsad of at 4. Tit weather today throughout th state '"Tut Fuu.' Milk Bomt !'

SUIT SAID TO BE FRIENDLY Deslr of Stockholders to Reorganise Company nnd Take Care of Scat tered Creditors Declared Motive of Petitioner. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Aug. 8. Incident to a reorganization, the stockholders of the Plllsbury-Washburn Flour Milling com pany today petitioned the federal district court for the appoir.tment of receivers. The petition was granted, the court nam ing C. 8. Pillsbury, son of the late Charles A. Pillsbury, A. C. Lorlng, head of the Northwestern Consolidated Milling company and A. C. Cobb, an attorney. The petition ers were the Northwestern National bank, the First National, the Swedish-American National of Minneapolis and the Second Na tional of St. Paul, together with J. S. Pills bury. There will be no Interruption to business of the company pending reorgani zation. After naming the receivers the court fixed their Joint bond at 8500.000 an! an nounced that five davs would be allowed for them to file It. That the petition for receivership waa on a friendly basis Is evidenced by the appearance of J. 8. Pills bury as one of the petitioners and the fact that the company consented to the action without opposition. This may be duo to , a necssarlty for a cnange or management, which was broadly Intimated In the peti tion. The application for receivers has created surprise, but is not expected to precipitate any flurry In milling or financial circles. The milling interests in Minneapolis have enjoyed an exceptionally good year and the conditions that affected the Pillsbury- ! Washburn company have been peculiar to that organization. Statement By Receiver. This afternoon tho following statement was Issued from the receivers' office: This company, which haa always enjoyed a reputation second to none and la the successor of the Interests, which first made Minneapolis famous aa a milling center has found It necessary to the conservation of the lnlerests of Its creditors and share holders to place Its pioperty temporarily In the hands of the circuit court in ord';r that the rignts and Interesis of all parties In any way concerned may be fairly and effectually preserved. The Plllsbury-Wasliburn Flour Mills com nanv (limited) Is the largest milling com pany In the world and It may not be generally known that It has extensive and varied Intercuts aside from thom directly connected with Its principal business of manufacturing flour. It Is understood to be Impossible at ims time to furnish for publication a specific and Itemised statement of Die value of the comDanv's aserts. but the Information will be made public later in the proceedlnas ust commenced alter the usual inventories lave been taken for the benefit of all par ties interested either as creditors or as shareholders. As a matter of course, it Is well understood by all business men that a concern so largely engaged In a manufac turing enterprise must have at all uinea a large amount of outstanding obligations. the proceeds or wril 11 rurniwi ine working capital by which Its business Is carried on. It Is true at this time, as It always haa been true In connection with this company and Its predecessors, that this Indebtedness Is widely scattered throughout the country, very many of Its obligations having been Siaceq uy nrokers in ttie east and west, o far as Minneapolis banks are concerned they hold not to exceed HMI.uoO of the In debtedness, distributed among the local banks on a basis not materially different from a pro rata of thejr capital. Creditor Are Scattered. The company, therefore, finds itself con fronted with a situation which calls for negotiation with an Immense number of creditors, with the added difficulty that the company Is a British corporation, all of II j directors living In Ureal Britain and only its managing officers or agents btln located here: that part of the stock Is he abroad and part la held In this countiy. so that It Seems that some method of procedure which brings all parties, scat tered creditors of the organisation, stock- holders and all other persona Interested in the corporation Into one body where every body s right may be fuily and fairly do- (Continued on Second Pace.)

NEBLE PROTEST IS HEARD Counsel for Democrats Take Many Positions in Argument CANDIDATE TO SHOW ELIGIBILITY Mr. Rosewntcr Takea Thin Stand Argument Before Secretary of State- Jnnkln Decision Not Given. In (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Aug. 8. (Special.) In opposi tion to the protest filed by Victor Roso- water against Sophus F. Neble being filed as a people's Independent party candl- date for elector in the Second district, Tom Allen's array of legal talent today before Secretary of State Jinkln dropped one de fense and picked up others with .he rapid ity of lightning change artists. The section of the primary law Upon which Mr. Rose water based his protest was as follows: Section 44. No person shall be entitled in rr ullnued to tile a nomination certlfl cate as provided for In this act, or to have his name placed upon a primary election hHllot for unv nrimury election to be held. unless the political party which he states In said affidavit he affiliates with, polled at the Inst election before tho primsry elec tion to be held, at least 1 per cent of the entire vote In the state, country or sub division or district for which ho seeks the nomination for ornce in. Mr. Rosewater showed that in the 1907 election the people's Independent party cast 116 votes out of some 22,000, which is less than 1 per cent of the total vote. In the second protest he went further than the law requires -and showed by affidavits and certificates from the clerks In tho counties 'of the district that no populist had filed fer any county, congressional or state office. He showed hat the people's Independent party in this district has gone out of business; that only eight had regis tered In Douglas county. In answer to these facts produced by Mr. Rosewater Judge Tlbbetts and Arthur Mullen of Tom Allen's array of lawyer first offered this: "The basis upon which the vote 1 to be computed must be th vote cast for su preme Judge." The supreme Judges were all fused at the last election so It could not be determined how many populist votes were cast. Getting little encouragement out of that claim they chose this tact: "The vote must be computed on the total vote cant In the state." Mr. Tlbbetts practically argued himself out of that proposition and then he ad vanced this: "If 8,000 votes In Douglas county were ast for Mr. Sundean as the candidate of olh the democratic and populist parties, hen each party must be presumed as hav ng cast 6.000 votes." Mr. Rosewater'a Proposition. When the hearing first opened Mr. Rose- water laid down the proposition that It Is the duty of the candidate who files to show that he Is qualified to be the candidate of his party, and It Is the duty of th secretary of state to Investigate the petitions filed without any one protesting. The array of legal talent fought at length to force th-s secretary to compel Mr. Rose water to prove Nebles waa not eligible to go on the ticket. Mr. Junkln refused to do this. Then the array of legal talent moved to dismiss the protest, and Mr. Rosewater moved to exclude th petition. Both were overruled and th array of legal talen began to put in Its evidence. First the lawyer Introduced a printed copy of the abstract of the vote cast last fall. This sheet in its certification mad by the secretary of state does not show that the two purtle- were futed, but It does say this: "D means democrat; P I, people's Independent." Mr. Rosewater promptly objocted to this and called th action of the lawyers pioe of trickery, played for the purpose of deceiving. Mr. Junkln sustained th ob jection and then the lawyer introduced Continued n Second FagoJ New Body Will Have Offices in New- York and Aid Treasurer Sheldon. NEW DUTIES OF MR. HAYWARD Will Have Charge of Chicago Head quarters In Absence of Mr. Hitch rock, Who Expects to Hold Many Conferences. NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-Elmer E. Dover ot Ohio haa rcslgner his position as secretary of the republican national committee, and will become the secretary of an advisory committee which Is to work with Georgo R. Sheldon, treasurer of the National com mittee. William Hayward of Nebraska City, Neb., who has been republican chair man In his state for a number of years, has been appointed secretary of the na tional committee and will bo given charge of the western headquarters at Chicago, In the absence of Mr. Hitchcock. This re organisation and several other Important announcements were made tonight by Mr. Hitchcock. The advisory commlttee, which Is to have charge of ways and "means for th campaign and will work with Mr. Sheldon, will consist of nine members. The men who are to be named will be prominent businessmen and financiers from various sections of the country and will not be drawn from the ranks of the national com mittee. They will be men In touch with commercial conditions, who have had ex perience in past campaigns as to the needs of a party organization. As to the selec tion of Mr. Dover for the secretaryship of the committee, It pleases him, and his acceptance of the place disposes of the reports that his relations with Mr. Hitch cock are not harmonious. Hitchcock Dlscnsaes Chang. In discussing the change tonight, Mr. Hitchcock spoke frankly of the necessity of thorough organization for proper financing of the campaign. Ha admitted that a great deal of money will be needed, and he want the party managers, charged with the gathering of funds to go about their plans in a strictly businesslike manner. Ha added that he would see that the expendi tures were made with Just as great cur. Some of the men who will serve on the ad visory committee have accepted appoint ment already, but the announcement of the full committee will not be ready before next week. Mr. Hitchcock, a chairman of the national committee,, will be th chairman of the advisory committee. Mr.,,. Dover will be ex-offlclo member' of th committee, the headquarter of which will be In this city; it Is not likely that any vice chairman of the national committee will be appointed. Mr. Haywnrd will glvo up the chairman ship of the Nebraska state committee and devote his entire time to the management of the campaign In the west and Mr. Hitchcock will also spend a great deal of time at Chicago. More Section Conference. The announcement was made today by Mr. Hitchcock that he will hold confer ences throughout the country with the managers In the various sections from time to time during the campaign. He salr he Intended to keep In close touch with th work In all sections and to confer with the party managers whenever add wher-' ever he thinks the republican cause can ba aided by his presence. This may keep him away from the actual headquarters In New York and Chicago a great deal of the time. This plan has never been followed by campaign managers In the past, but Mr. Hitchcock submitted It to the party man agers and they approved It. Mr. Hay ward la tho youngest state chairman In the United States, being only 31 year old. He originated what "Is known as th Ne braska system of polling and keeping In touch with voters of his state, which 1 said to be an Improvement on the Tam many ancl Indiana systems. H Is a law yer. At the recent republican conferences in Colorado Springs and Chicago, Mr. Hay- ward took the lead In talking organization and he waa chosen then as Instructor for other states .
