(Chesapeake & Ohio Takes Over C, C. & L. and Reduction Of Chicago Rates Will Be Abandoned.

iLEfiGTHY NEGOTIATIONS HAVE BEEN NECESSARY fBig Four Had to Be Appeased Or Rupture With C. & 0. Ov er Rates Probably Would Have Ensued. Official announcement will be made Vwltbln a short time that the Chicago, Cincinnati and'Louisville will be taken over by the Chesapeake and Ohio. on November 1. Plans for the deal have been completed, and It has already been arranged that the Bradford road, fwhloh is now in the hands of a receiver, wiM. for at least two years, be (operated independently as the ChicaB;o division of the C. and O.. and that t will be (Ken the use of the latter's (terminal faculties, including an entrance into the Central Union station tat Cincinnati. The negotiations have been on for several months, but a number of obfertacles have been encountered, and it 'was not until within the past few Iweeks that it was possible to remove fchese. In the first place,' the management of the Chesapeake and Ohio was (unwitting to antagonize the Big Four ko the extant' f causing a breaking "off of the olose friendly relations existing between the two companies. Involving traffic arrangements that have for a number of years TJPen most fbeneflcial and profitable to both. It took considerable time and a liberal exercise-of diplomacy to so adjust .matters as to admit of a continuation f these relations after the C. and O. bad entered Into direct competition 'with the Big Four on Chicago business, for which the former has been he latter's heaviest feeder. ; Passenger Rate Counted. The Question of the C, C. and 's differential passenger rate to Chicago entered largely into the consideration and provd one of the most serious tumbling blocks. The Big Four interests were unconditionally opposed to an arrangement that would give the C, C. and I access to the Central kTJnion station and allow it to continue fto carry Chicago passengers for $5 as i gainst the standard fare of-$6. This klifferentfai has never been officially granted the Bradford road. bat it has (arbitrarily assumed it. and it is an (open secret that as a result of this the C., C. St I has been a thorn in the lde of not only the Big Four but the ether Chicago lines, being able to gather in not an inconsiderable amount or business that otherwise uM have gone to the other lines. ie insufficient terminal facilities and he remote and inconvenient location of Its depot has v been about the only comfort and consolation the competitors of the C, C. and I. had in the situation, as Its claim to being-the shortit route, and therefore entitled to a lfferentlal, had to be conceded. It is ot surprising, therefore, that the Big r held out long and determinedly Inst allowing the C. and O. to pro ds Itself with local facilities equal In every respect to its own and allow it to continue as a cut-rate competitor. No More Lower Rates. It Is said that it was upon this objection that the negotiations came nearest being knocked out, but it was pointed out that the ultimate result would be better for the Big Four to ifhave the C. C. and I standardize its rate, have access to the Central Union depot and enter into fair, equitable sind legitimate competition for the 'Chipeago business than to perpetuate the present bargain counter policy of the )C., C. and Li. which it is acknowledged das made more or less inroads on the raffle receipts of the standard rate llcago lines. Concessions along this line are said to have been made, and It is understood that when the C, C. id L. becomes the Chicago division tof the Hawley C. and O. system the !"'sav a dollar" rate to Chicago will te eliminated and the competition for business will be conducted on an equal basis so far as the fare Is concerned. V,May End Receivership. The present organization of the C, IC. and I except in so far as the receivership is concerned, will not be disturbed. The C. and O. will furnish equipment and under the guardianship pt its own management will allow it to work out its ctvn financial salvation. This, however, will be assured1 because of the vast amount of traffic, both passenger and freight tonnage, that will be fed to It by the C and O. The C, C. and I. will form an important link In the Hawley system. By Just what means and under what conditions the Big Four has been appeased has not as yet been disclosed, but certain it is that the ties that have so closely bound the two roads in har-

TURKEY AGAIN IS

BORDERING UPON BIG REVOLUTION Military Despotism of Young Turks Has Aroused Populace When Land Is on Eve Of Foreign War. RESIGNATION DEMANDED FROM SHEVKET PASHA New Menace to Ottoman Em pire May Drench Moham medan Capital Anew With Blood of Fanatics. (American News Service) Constantinople, Aug. 6. Aroused by the military despotism of the Young Turk dictators and angered by the reckless , disregard of Generalissimo Shevket Pasha for the popular demand of a new cabinet formed of deputies, Turkey stands today upon the threshold of a new revolt while the government is already preparing for war with Greece. Niazi. Bey and his Albanian followers, stirred by the stern dictatorship exercised by the generalissimo, has sent an informal notice to the government from Monastir that, unless the wishes of his element in Turkey are respected, an army will invade Constantinople and the country will again be shaken by civil war. Resignation Demanded. The resignation of Shevket Pasha is demanded unequivocal Pilmi Pasha hurriedly got together a few of the ministers last night and has sent a cipher reply to Monastir and now all developments hinge upon its reception. This new menace to the Otteman empire which may drench the Mohammedan capital anew with blood and give the fanatic Mussulmans another chance for . pillage and rapine, is directly due, to he policies of Shevket Pasha. He is. accused of preventing the formation of a cabinet from the deputies in compliance with a promise made after the" April rebellion; he is charged with prolonging the state of siege to force parliament to do his bidding and finally he is held responsible for the iron hand of militaryism , in which Turkey finds herself gripped.

o Q MACHINES LOST CAPITAL FIGHT Both Parties Broke From Dictatorial Rule to Name Popular Choices. TOM TAGGART IS BLAMED DEMOCRATIC, LEADER KEPT AWAY FROM CITY AND OUT OF FIGHT, SO IS HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSS. Indianapolis, August 6. Republican and democratic machine organizations were defeated in the primaries here yesterday. "Lew" Shank, an auctioneer, received six thousand majority for republican nomination for mayor, and Charles Gauss, tinner and hardware man, has thirty-five hundred majority for the democratic mayoralty nomination. Both are anti-machine men. Tom Taggart refused for the first time in many years to take part in primaries and the democratic machine now blames its defeat to his Inactivity. ' The republican machine lost a great deal of prestige at the eleventh hour of the campaign by stampeding the city council and inducing them to oust the precinct judges who had been appointed by the republican city chairman. The suspicion that something crooked was contemplated by the machine gang is believed to have changed 'many republican votes. WHEN WILL IT STOP?

POOR STARVING WHILE LABORERS FIGHT FOR CLAIM Conditions in Sweden Today Assume Alarming Situation And Troops Are Called Out Again. STARVATION IN STORE FOR MANY THOUSANDS Depredations Expected to Follow When Hungry Hordes Are Not Appeased Alarm Felt in England. (American News Service) Stockholm, Aug. 6. Additional troops were brought into the capital today to strengthen the governments military position and to awe the strikers. The restlessness of the radicals and the universal arming of the labor element give promise of blood shed and civil war throughout the entire nation though the day began quietly. The first violence of the strike oc curred yesterday at Vesteras but it was not of an alarming nature and aside from a few bruised heads from flying stones and clubs no one was badly hurt. Troops arrested thirty strikers who had forced laborers to quit work. A melee with the populace ensued and 3 of the prisoners escaped. Employes Are Striking. The employes of the Stockholm pow er station struck last night and today their places were filled with soldiers. The artillery logically being the first force to engage In case the strikers throw up barricades and open war fare, is kept constantly prepared everywhere. Their cannon, parked in the public scuares are held in instant readiness and the artillerymen are ordered to be prepared for action on a moments notice. Strike is Unique. One-fifth of the entire population of Sweden, 500,000 men. are engaging in the most unique strike of the world's history. From a walkout of a few hundred men in the woolen industries upwards of a fortnight ago, the num bers have increased until more than a quarter of a million men are out and the nation Is paralysed. " The workmen are heavily armed as is proven by the unprecedented sale of weapons but the fire-arms have not been put to use. The" strikers are enduring great hardships and they are bitter toward the industrial magnates and the government but save for a few individual instances there has not been an outbreak. The crippled industries are com pletely tied up. In the cities street

Washington Tonight Will Lie As Corpse as all Lawmakers Are Hurrying to Their Homes.

PRESIDENT APPROVES BILL IN A STATEMENT Says Measure Is Substantially Downward Revision and He Believes It to Be Sincere Effort. (American News Service) Washington. Aug. 6. The famous Taft smile was seen once again in Washington today. The president temporarily laid aside the cares of state while he made preparations for his departure for Beverly, Mass., to join his family late this afternoon. This was a gala day, a sort of general exodus day, as it were. Senators and representatives, department heads and lesser luminaries all rushed away, some homeward, some mountalnward and some to the seashore, but many of them before departing wished to shake Mr. Taft by the hand, congratulated him and wished him a pleasant stay In the new summer capital. City Quiet After Battle. Tonight Washington will be the corpse of the busy lawmaking center which has seethed and buzzed and echoed with tariff oratory through the previous days of summer. The rush started last night immediately after the adjournment of congress, gaining Impetus until the climax was reached today. Mr. Taft was happy, but not satisfied to excess by the tariff bill, as was evidenced in hia Darting remarks: - - "The bill Is not a perfect biTir' ne said, ' or a complete compliance with the promises made, strictly interpreted, but a fulfilment free from critic? ism in respect to a subject matter involving many schedules and thousands of articles could not be expected. It suffices to say that, except with regard to whiskey, liquors and wines, and in regard to silks and as to some high classes of cottons all of which may be treated as luxuries and proper subjects of a revenue tariff there have been very few increases in rates. Not Free Trade Bill. This is not a free trade bill. It was Intended to be. The republican party did not promise to make a free trade bill. It promised to make rates protective, but to reduce them. There has been a great number of decreases in rates and they constitute a sufficient amount to justify the statement that this bill is a substantial downward revision and a reduction of excessive rates. I have signed the bill because I believe it to be the result of a sincere effort on the part of the republican party to make a downward revision and to comply with the promises of the platform as they have been generally understood, and as I interpreted them in the campaign before election."

Boyd, who died while on a visit to her sis ter in Ohio and was buried at Dublin last week, was admitted to probate yesterday.

Boyd, is named as executor of the estate and has given bond of $2,000 with the American Bonding Company as surety. Mrs. Boyd was a woman of unusual literary ability, having written several poems which were published in nation al magazines.

PREMIUM LISTS GO TO FRUITERS WHEII COMPLETED - Expected to Be Ready Within Few Days and Fall Festival Will Receive Another Impetus. WILL NEED MORE MONEY AS EXPENSE IS GREATER Subscribers Must Be MorO

Liberal Trouble Encoo tered by Committee in ranging Horse Show. The list of premiums to be offered for the different exhibits at the Fall Festival. October ti, 7 and 8 will be la readiness for the printer by next Friday night, according to the belief of the executive committee which met last evening at the Masonic Temple. The question of getting the premium lists out early is of much Importance to the success of the festival, as the executive committee feels that the farmers and others who are expected to exhibit should receive the list early in order that they may prepare for making exhibits. The association will spend several hundred dollars more on prizes for exhibits than It did last year. There will be a greater number of divisions for all classes of exhibits. The amount given for any individual prize will not be greater than it was last year. Will Need More Money. In order to carry out the plans of the association there will be need of a much larger amount from subscription than last year. In fact It is estimated that the festival this year will necessitate an expense of g&jOOO because of the larger number of attractions and that some arrangements will hare to be made for amusement oa the third day. Last year this .was soldiers' day and no expense was Incurred by the association. An effort will be made to get the soldiers to visit the city again when they take their annual practice march. The, premiums to be offered for the flower exhibits will aggregate $170. Only amateurs will contest for money prizes. The professional growers will exhibit for ribbons. Committee Having Troubles. It will require three days to exhibit the horses because of the number expected.. The committee In charge ot the premium list on horses Is having a very arduous time to prepare a satisfactory list. It is trying to get la every class and still be as economical as possible. The committee has arranged that owners of grade horses may exhibit In a class by themselves for money premiums. The imported and registered animals will make a class by themselves. This was done because owners of grade horses would not consent to exhibit against admittedly better animals. Because the owners of imported and registered horses will get a vast amount of advertising by exhibiting at the festival it is probable that only ribbons will be offered by the association. The ribbons will be much more valuable to the exhibitors of such animals than the money consideration from an advertising standpoint. Judges of national ability will be secured to award the premiums on horses. Parade of Industries. The committee In charge of Industrial day to be observed October 7. has not as yet completed its arrangements. Premiums will be awarded for the best floats In the afternoon parade and also for best display in the evening parade. The evening parade Is to represent the industries of the city from the employes standpoint while that ot the afternoon will be more for the parpose of showing off the various industries of the city. Arrangements will be made In a few days by the Young Men's Business club under whose auspices the festival is being given that the club members swarm upon the old settlers picnic to be held at King's grove north of Oenterville this month. The club had In tended to attend yesterdays' meeting of the State Horticultural Society at Oenterville for advertising purposes, but was unable to make arrangements soon enough and had to give the mat-; ter up. MEAUS FAST THAIIIS It Is understood that the Pennsylan! In order to furnish stlffer onposition to the Big Four system will put on new additional fast passenger trains between Chicago and Cincinnati. The trip will be made ia eight, hours which is a very fast schedule. Richmond will benefit greatly If such . a policy is carried out by the company. THE WEATHER PRQ?I!ET.
