Patterson, Chicago, live stock commission. J. F. Brown, Galesburg, live stock commission. James H. Burdett, Chicago, presi­ dent state civil service commission. All of these, with the exception of Funk, Yates, Elliott, Dowell and Pat­ terson, are Democrats. The state capitol is to get a chance to grow through a bill from Senator Manny appropriating $250,000 for the purchase of two additional blocks south of the present structure for ad­ ditional buildings. - The plan of the Democrats at the previous session was to build an entirely new capitol. Civil service for Cook county moved forward when the house civil serv Ice committee recommended a bill by a vote of 14 to 1, S. B. Turner of Chi­ cago being the only member against it An attempt of Representative Igoe to have included a blanket feature that would exempt all county em­ ployees who have been in the service six months was defeated, 10 to 5. As it stands the bill exempts only about thirty persons. Among these are assistant state's attorneys and confidential clerks and four assistants to the probate Judge. The Shurtleff child labor bill, on •which hearings have been held at vari ous times, will be recommended by the subcommittee which has had it under consideration next Tuesday. The bill will go to the Industrial com­ mittee and it is paid that further in­ vestigation may be made before the measure reaches the legislature. _ ; : ; -V Asks Frss Seats for the Fair. ' A free grand stand at the fffitKjfs state fair grounds and a depressed parking place for automobiles and vehicles in the center of the race track is contemplated, among other things, in the appropriation of $91,200 asked in house bill No. 692 Introduced by Representative Israel Dudgeon of Morris. The improvements will greatly in­ crease the comfort of state fair vis­ itors and will add features which the board of agriculture has wished foi some time to provide. Among other things which the bill provides for are: Four cattle barns. Fire escapes on the exposition building to comply with directions of the state fire marshal's department. Sanitary kitchen for the boys' state fair school. Sanitary eating houses fitted to conform to requirements of state board of health. Improvement of seating arrange­ ment. in coliseum. Construction of sewer for Joint use of fair grounds and city. Children's nursery and playground. The parking place for automobiles within the confines of the race track will necessitate the construction of a subway under the track. This Is pro­ vided for 1n the appropriation bill. The board of agriculture has worked hard since its organization in gaining support in the legislature for the pro­ posed improvements. In the list of new bills are appropri­ ation measures covering officers' sal­ aries and other board expenses. Almost coincident with the introduc­ tion of the above measure, which pro­ vides for numerous improvements at the fair grounds, was the introduc­ tion Tuesday in the senate of a bill by Senator Womack at Equality to abolish the state board of agriculture and consolidate all the farm boards, etc., into one department. The Wo­ mack bill is one of the measures ad­ vocated by the efficiency and economy commission. > Passed State Mine Examination.^ The following is the list of^-the suc­ cessful candidates who took the ex­ amination before the state mining board on April 5: Mine Managers.

MEN ON JURY Progressives and Republicans Also Accepted---Judge Denies Formal Motion by Roosevelt's Lawyer to Dismiss Complaint. Committee Makes Partial Report. The Curran home-finding commis­ sion appointed by the Forty-eighth general assembly to investigate home finding institutions in the state made a partial report In the house.

Y., April 21.--With the examination of twenty-two men out of a panel of eighty, the Barnes-Roose­ velt $50,000 libel suit Jury was com­ pleted on Monday. Six and a half hours were occupied In selecting the Jury. The twelve good men and true who were finally selected after a hard day's work number in their ranks seven Republicans, three Progres­ sives and two stray Democrats. As his first line of defense Roose­ velt set up the contention that his scathing • statement about Barnes boss methods made no personal charge and carried no innuendo. This was in the form of a motion made by his attorney, John M. Bowers, to dis­ miss the complaint. It was promptly overruled by Justice Andrews and the case will go to trial on its merits. The courtroom' holds 300 people, and it filled up early, and Justice An­ drews gave strict orders to bailiffs to admit no more people than could find seats. Colonel Roosevelt, accompanied by Horace Wilkinson, Progressive state chairman, and John D. Bowers, his chief counsel, arrived at the court­ house half an hour before time for court to open. Mr. Barnes came In five minutes later with his chief counsel, William M. Ivens. He gave no recognition to Mr. Roosevelt. Barnes, wearing a tan waistcoat, swung his chair around facing the colonel within the rail, but Roose­ velt never took his eyes from the jury box. „ Mystery deep and dark enshrouded the plaintiff's end of the suit, while1 the spotlight of widest publicity played over the plans of the colonel's defense. ' The Roosevelt witnesses, most of them, have bedn announced. The Barnes forces have announced only two of their witnesses. Attorney Ivens said that Mr. Barnes was trying to conceal nothing and that his direct testimony to prove the ut­ terance and publication of the alleged libel, wherein Colonel Roosevelt had called him a corruptionist, would re­ quire few witnesses. Colonel Roosevelt is prepared to delve into the family secrets of the New York G. O. P. for twenty years back, if the court will sanction it. Barnes* plans and witnesses will be made known, said Ivens, after it be­ comes apparent how far the colonel can go. FRANK APPEAL IS DISMISSED U. 8.

FORMER LEADER OF G. 0. P. Expert on the Tariff and Finance 8uo- cumbs to Apoplexy Follpwing At­ tack of Indigestion--Daughter Wed a Rockefeller. BRITISH TOWNS RAIDED QERMAN AIRSHIPS THROW BOMBS ON FIVE CITIE8. New York, April 19.--Nelson W. Ald- rich, for 30 years United States sena­ tor from Rhode Island and Republic­ an leader whose name was stamped upon tariff and currency legislation of his party, died on Friday of an apoplectic stroke at his home on Fifth avenue here. He had been ill pf In­ digestion since Thursday afternoon. Until then he had been In excellent health. He was In his seventy- fourth year. Mr. Aldrlch will be buried Sunday In Swanpolnt ceme­ tery, Providence, R. I. Members of Mr. Aldiich"s Imme­ diate family were hurriedly sum­ moned when he became unconscious arid were at his bedside when he died. Mr. Aldrich held a seat in the United States senate continually from 188; to 1911. Probably the greatest partlamentar- ian that ever served In the senate, Mr. Aldrich had no difficulty in main­ taining leadership of his own party. While he gave special attention to the tariff and financial legislation in com­ mittee, on the senate floor his ear was open for all that was said on any sub­ ject of general importance. He sel­ dom failed to participate in the dis­ cussion of any measure affecting gov­ ernmental policies. Naturally. Mr. Aldrlch's long-con­ tinued supremacy In the councils of his party and In directing legislation caused him to become the subject of much adverse criticism. He rarely permitted himself to be quoted by the press. The fact that his daughter was mar­ ried to a Bon of John D. Rockefeller served to strengthen the popular Im­ pression that Senator Aldrich was in some way peculiarly friendly to the oil magnate and considerate of the so-called "Rockefeller Interests." Yet when a friend of the senator once asked him fijr a letter to Mr. Rocke­ feller Mf. Aldrich replied: "As I have met Mr. Rockefeller only twice in my life, I fear the letter would be of but little assistance to you." Born In Foster, R. I., November 6, 1841, he first appeared In public of­ fice as member of the common coun­ cil in the city of Providence. He was elected to the Rhode Island assembly in 1875 and four yearB later sent to congress. After two sessions he was elevated to the senate as successor of Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside. Having begun his career as a busi­ ness man, Senator Aldrich continued throughout his public service to dis­ play businesslike methods and ex­ traordinary capacity for organization. Upon his election to the senate he was immediately made chairman of the committee on rules and a member of the committee on finance and in­ terstate commerce. Later as chairman of the finance committee he was called upon to as­ sume a large share of the responsi­ bility for all tariff and financial legis­ lation before the senate. He partici­ pated in the preparation of no fewer than six revisions of the tariff and bore the burden of labor Incident to them. The Payne-Aldrich tariff act was engineered through the senate by him after many weeks of skillful ma­ neuvering and hard fighting. mm Conflict Alleged to Be CauiifKI Bad Dreams. Myth, Tyne, Wallsend, 8eaton Burn and Cramllngtoii Attacked by Zep­ pelins--Little Damage Dons. Newcastle, England, April 16.--A Zeppelin airship made a bomb-drop­ ping raid over the Tyneside district in northeastern England soon after eight o'clock Wednesday night The entire region from Newcastle to the North sea coast was plunged into darkness when the first news of the attack came from Blyth, eleven miles northeast of Newcastle. The airship was then heading from the east at great speed. As it passed over Blyth It dropped eight bombs on the out­ skirts of the town. After leaving Blyth the giant air­ craft changed its course, evidently intending to make for Newcastle. The pilot obviously was baffled by the darkness. Bombs were launched from the aircraft from time to time hap­ hazardly, but little damage was done. Eventually the airship reached the Tyne at W&llsend and then proceeded eastward toward South Shields. As it drew near Wallsend bombs were dropped. One of them fell on a rail­ way, narrowly missing a crowded pas­ senger train on the way to Newcastle. Between Blyth and Wallsend the Zeppelin passed over Cramllngton and dropped several bombs In the neigh­ borhood. One house was set on fire. Altogether It was estimated the raid lasted about twenty-five minutes. One man was injured by a shell splinter at Choppingtown. Five bombs were dropped at Wall- send. Two fell In a field. They were located by a farmer, who handed them over to the police. F^om Wallsend the raider crossed the Tyne, and five or six minutes later was reported at Weston and then at South Shields, passing eastward. New­ castle was missed altogether. Though there was much excitement, there was no panic. One bomb was dropped at Beaton, within three miles of Newcastle and Elswlck.

Few of those on the car escaped injury when it was hurled from the tracks and thrown, a shapeless mass of wreckage, at the side of the crossing. There is no better evidence that tho European conflict Is depressing and disturbing this country than the weird dreams which everyone is dreaming. And each dreamer has to narrate his or her particular dream; then tha listeners go to dreaming in their turn. "Why, why, why--" said a plump, dovelike little woman, in evident amazement at herself, "last night 1 dreamed that I was leading the Ger­ man army down a hill, playing a slide trombone the while. And the v/prst of it is I do not sympathise with^the Germans, and I don't know how I came to be leading them In my dreams. I'm ashamed of myself." "That's nothing," said another wo- ^ an, wearily, "I'm all tired out from the dream I had last night Every 'U time news was reported of a German " " advance I had to plant a telegnyjn pole, and I'm all worn out this morn­ ing." A man Joined In. "Well, I crossed the Alps last night and I'm some tired, too. I thought I was Hannibal march­ ing to help the allies, and I was going to show 'em just how to lick every­ thing and everybody." "Ugh!" chimed in another dreamer. "My dream was worse than any of those. I was appointed crown under­ taker by Kaiser William and I had to bury all the dead In a certain time or have my head chopped off. I guess it was a nightmare, for I awoke my­ self by my own heavy, labored breath- , ing" The college girl had this yam to , ' tell: V.Vv;r "I dreamed I was arrested as a spy.
