L.nicago, bept. 15 Illinois voters
today are-answering the questions of
the whole United States shall Can
non return to congress and shalfLor
Imerlsm and jackpotism still continue
to dominate Illinois politics?
While the primaries are state-wide,
the main interest centers in Danville
and in Chicago.
In Danville it is a certainty that
Joseph Guerney Cannon will be re
nominated for congress just as it is
certain he will be re-elected. There
never was a shadow of a doubt . that
the Veteran speaker would win bands
down, for the pride of the town and
the county and the district Is Can
-non. He is one of the picturesque
landmarks and his overthrow would
bo as great a blow to the district as
the shattering of all other ideals com
bined.
in unicago, nowever, things are
different. Lorimer men and jack
potters are arrayed against progres
sive, republicans whose .campaign slo
gan has been "down with corrup
tion." In the ninth district, the fate of
Representative Boutelle hangs by a
thread. He is opposed by Frederick
Gansbergen, an attorney, and it is
freely predicted' among leaders that
Gansbergen. will defeat ' Boutelle on
an anti-Cannon platform. On the
democratic slate in the ninth, there
are. thre candidates, witii the indi
cations that Lynden Even will be
nominated. '
In tho fight against Representative
Mann in the second Illinois district,
the issue again hangs on Canonism
and Mann is in danger of being de
feated by Joseph R. Burres, his lead
ing opponent.
Representative ' Foss, It appears,
will bo renominated despite his re
fusal to declare against Cannon and
Representative Madden of the first
district., another staunch Canon man,
is believed to be In the lead. There
are seven candidates on the demo
cratic slate in Madden's district, with
the chances favoring Michael K.
Mahcr. '
Representative Wilson stands for
reuomination in the third. He is 6p

LOST MUCH JEWERLY
Fashionables Robbed At Sum

Effort of Police to Discover Him,
(By Leased WIro to The Times)
Providence, R. I., Sept. 15 Resl
aenis or tne nium-miiiionaire sum
mer resorts along the Atlantic coast
have been robbed of more than $50,
000 in the past few weeks by a mys
terious "RaffleB" who so far has
thwarted every effort of the best pri
vate detectives In the country to dis
cover his identity. The authorities
are confident that he Is laughing-at
their atom pt to run him down, mean
while enjoying himself as an honored
guest of the multi-millionaires he is
systematically looting.
The mysterious burglar, who Is
Said to have at least one companion,
has made, a complete circuit of the
north shore of the Atlantic cost,
where the fashionables of America's
money i aristocracy have their sum
mer homes, ending up at Bristol,
where Judge LeBaron B. Colt, of the
federal circuit court, reported to the
police today that $20,000 worth of
jewels had been taken rrom his
home.
At Watch Hill, another fashion
able center, the police were apprised
today by. Mrs. E. M. Burrall that her
home had been looted of $10,000
worth of jewels. Judge Colt and Mrs.
Burrall agreed today that the hleves
had come.to their homes by automo
bile.
Beginning at Bar Harbor tho mys
terious "Raffles" and his companions
systematically "worked' every center
of fashion and wealth down to Nar-
ragansett Pier. The police, spurred
on by offers of reward, are exhausting
every energy to solve the baf fling
trial of robberies. ' , ,
The chief of the marauders gained
his title of "Raffles' through the Inti
mate, knowledge he showed of the
Interior of the palatial mansions he
looted. This knowledge was so thor
ough in many instances that the po
lice worked' upon the clue that the
thief must have been, nt one time, a
guest In the homes robbed.
At' Naragansett Pier robberies
were committed during social func
tions, the thief appearing in evening
dres and mingling with the guests as
one of them.
In every instance money and Jew
elry were taken without discrimina
tion. A great, number of depreda
tions are suspected which were not
eported, owing to the desire of the
victims to elude public attention.

Insurgent Democrats Demand
Party Reform
.Mass Meeting Held and Present Man
ugciucnt of County Party Affairs
Severely Arraiifsed Hot right Be
ing Waged.
(Special to Thi Times.)
Lumberton, . ; Sept.-. 15 Pursuant to a
call by many of the most prominent
democrats in Robeson countk, a large
delegation assembled in the court house
here today In a .mass meeting which
had as its object the uplifting of pol
itics and raising a higher standard of
civic righteousness.
Mr. J. S. Oliver, of Marietta was
made chairman of the meeting which
was opened with a prayer by Rev. C.
H. Durham. Mr, R. D. Caldwell in
stating the object of the meeting said
that it was a voluntary gathering of
the citizens and the call did not come
from the county executive committee
and Its purpose was to overthrow the
present management of the democratic
party in Robeson county and restore
harmony to the party.
A committee was appointed to draw-
up an order of exercises and while
this committee, was absent from the
room several men in the audience yvere
called upon to make short talks. Prom
inent among these were three ministers
of the county who declared in one ac
cord that the time had come when
the righteous citizen of the county
should rise up and put an end to the
corrupting Influences in certain
branches of Robeson's politics.
The committee On the order of busi
ness reported several recommendations
some of which were: That the mass
meeting endorse two men for tho leg
islature and five county commissioners.
That Mr. Geo. B. MeCleod be asked to
resign from the chairmanship of the
democratic executive committee and
that Sheriff E. C. McNeill be endorsed
for sheriff. All these recommendations)
were accepted' by the meeting. Dr. B.
F. McMillan, of Red Springs and J.
O. McArthur, of Thompsons township
were endorsed for the-house. The men
endorsed for county commissioners
commissioners were: A. J. Floyd, of
Whltehouse township, D. Z. McOoogan,
of Lumber Bridge, J. A. McPaul, of
Blue Springs, J. A. McCormick, of
Pembroke and W. H. McCelland, of
Thompsons. .
A very hot fight Is being waged for
the office of sheriff, ex-Sheriff Geo. B,
McLeod contesting with Sheriff E. C.
McNeill for that office, honors ap
pearing at this time to be about even
between them. , The mass meeting de
manded the resignation of Mr. Mc
Leod from the chairmanship or county
executive committee because be Is a
candidate for the office of sheriff, but
at this time he has not resigned and
there seems little, likelihood of his do
ing so. The fight In Hobeson seems
to be taking on the form-of a-ring
and tm anti-ring vencounter. - ,; , ?

The governor "'asserted there was
no ocasion for mistaking the gns of
the times and . $hat the activity of
Roosevelt and Mb asoclates made it
clear that RopseWilt aspires to again
rule the XTnitod States.
"Colonel, Roosevelt's 'platform of
princides,' declared the governor,
must be written from his several
speeches on the recent lour west, in
substance,' he declares the supreme
court of the United States is an un
safe co-ordinate 'branch of our gov
ernment. If this be true, then the
beginning of the end is at hand, for.
with the destruction of any one of
the thre co-ordinate branches of our
form of government, the entire struc
ture must fall tJfitl a Hew- plan arise
over its wreck. :
"With a legislative branch of the
government to make our laws, a ju
dicial department to construe thorn
and sit in final judgment on our dif
ferences, and an executive depart
ment to administer our government
when one is to lie assailed and dom
inated by another, that means a de
cay of the republic ana the building
of a monarchy. That means the rise
of military domination under the dic
tations of an executive and the decay
of the popular will.
"Is the Roosevelt of today, who
would reflect; upon the integrity and
efficiency of the entire supreme court,
the same ' Roosevelt, who, in 1S9G,
condemned others for the criticism
of an individual of that court?
"Is it building for the welfare of
our country, when the leaders of its
public thought, breed lack of respect
or encourage contempt for our great
institutions?"

a question that has caused no. little
anxiety to the party organization for
the past c'oupue of months.
The weather is not the best for a

New York.. Sept. 1T An internation
al aspect today was added to the fraud
case of Adolph Tiothbarth.. a hop im
porter who is in the Tombs prison
ehareefl with duping the Mercantile
National Rank and the Liberty Nation
al Bank out of $1.13.0(10' In the attempt
to make a million in Wall street when
lawyers for the banks in question be
gan work on steps to hold foreign
companies responsible for Rothbarth's
speculations. Indication today were
that Kotliliarth's bank deals might
aggregate. $jn.on.O more when they were
all '.uncovered.' '
The -. 'ftoihbnrth firm of hop dealers
is one of the : biggei t . houses ill the
world dealing in that commodity. U is
div'tled into two branches, Adolph,
through.- power of attorney controlling
the. American branch and his brothers
the foregin section.. . Because of
Adolph's power of attorney from his
brolhers. lawyers believe' that the
European house can be held respon
sible for' all 'of "his vast financial ob
ligations, .
Adolph Kothbarth maintained Amer
ican offices in this city under the name
or Martin Kothbarth & Company. The
foreign branches of the company are
controlled by -.Adolph's three brothers,
Justus Rothbarth in London: Leopold
and Martin in charge of the main of
fices in Frankfort-on-Main and another
of lice in Nuremberg.
Adolph has never been u member of
the foreign firm but acted merely in
capacity- of American agent Avith of
fices in New York.
Rothbarth is - accused -of .. securing
$rS.t)0( from the .Mercantile--National
Bank ami. $Tr..0i0 from the Liberty
National Bank but specifically he has
been -arraigned upon but one charge
that ''of ': securing $10,000 on September
t, 1P0S from the " Mercantile National
Bank with fraudulent security.
Tlie other charges are still pending.
The lawyers for the two New -.York
banks which were taken in on worth
less collateral, believe that they can
collect Adolph's debts from the other
brothers in Germany.-.' The main firm
of Rotliburth & Company is an extremis-
..wealthy organization.
In case : the German Rothbarth
repudiate Adolph's debts a bitter in
ternational legal battle will ensue and
the steps which were taken today
merely related to a formal request that
the Kothbarths in Germany make a
settlement on the bank claims.
.-Adolph Kothbarth's ambition as he
declared in Tombs, prison . where be is
held in default of $20,000 bail, was to
make a million dolars then retire. He
dabbed in stocks until the crash of
1907 when Wal street engulfed his little
fortune among with the fortunes of
others who wen? trying to make ti
million.
:.: Kothbarth' chief hope now is to be
sent to prison. He presented a con
trite aspect today as he begged . for
the longest term that the courts could
give him.
The Kothbarth case again brings -to
view the ease with which large sums
of money can be secured from eminent
financial institutions. Presenting a
mythical list of assets, which were not
investigated. Rothbarth secured huge
ums of money merely upon his own
world and pert-final reriresentation.
Kothbarth secured a $30,000 loan from
the Mercantile Bank. The ease with
which he secured this loan led him,
shortly afterwards, to borrow another
$ii0.ooo. , ::
The testimony showed that Roth
barth's claims, made to the banks, were
not Investigated. He declared that
his firm hud thousands of bales of
hops In the warehouse here whereas
it had practically none. His statements
chowed that his branch of the bus
iness was collossally rich in assets and
the bankers took his word for It.
