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-

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.
It Is stated tliut this large trade has al
most enmeiy iiw wnue ueuer
books are produced for the same price in
Dub In, and hundreds of Dublin printers

to appeal to Irish Catholic trade unionists
not to allow their children to accept these
books un'.css they tear an Impr nt showing
that they were printed and bound In Ire

A romance of a hundred years ago Is
recalled by the claim of Leslie O'Callaghan,
t small farmer of Kanturk, County Cork,
to the title and estates of the late Lord
Llsmore, who died without Issue In IsBS.
O'Callaghan claims to be the eldest legiti
mate grandson of Richard O'Callaghan,
first cousin of the late Lord Humor. A

the opinion rendered by the attorney gen

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

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.

BIG FLOUR MILLS IN C0UR1
Receivers Appointed for Pillsbury-
Washburn Company.
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

holders and all other persona Interested in
the corporation Into one body where every
body s right may be fuily and fairly do-

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:
