CLEYERLY TRAPPED.
How the United Press Was Caught Steal
ing Associated Press News.


ing Associated Press News.
New York, Nov. l2.-"Ihe natives
of the tributary State of Nyaghur, in
the province of Orissa, have revolted
against their ruler, SHIT Ell Otspu Eht."
So read cablegram to the Associated
Press from Calcutta, last week, with the
exception Of the name of the Raiah.
The Associated Press had long been
aware that its cable news was regularly
appropriated from the early editions of
Associated Press papers and was APP
pearing in the papers served by the
United Press as original to the service,
and it became necessary to word some
of the dispatches to ensure detection.
The New York Press says this morning
"Now, the Associated Press is nothing
if not truthful. There was method in
the fiction quoted about the name OF the
Raiah telegruphed by it to all the news
papers il serves, east and west. The
management had grown confident that
the United Press for long time has
been in the habit of appropriating dis
patches put on the wire by the Asso-
ciated Press. 10 surely prove the truth
of this supposition, it was decided to
send forth cable-a bit of alleged news
that--true or false, could injure no in
terests in the United States and be of
little moment.
mot only did the unfortunate Raiah
figure in Associated Press newspapers
on Saturday morning, but, strange to
say, he appeared in all of his shameless
mendacity in the United Press papers as
well. Readily the bait had been taken.
The United Press had appropriated its
rivals "news." And that treacherous
Raiah, not content with his mission to
| point moral and adorn q tale had
audaciously placed together the letters
of his mystic name in such way that,
reading backward, they recite fact in.

Traynor had been arrested and released

1t is said that Samuel Bancroft, Jr., is
reading the poem In Memoriam. "-Morn-
ug NeDs.
That is very appropriate poem for
all Democrats to read at this time. Two
lines in il point gloriously to the future:
"Oh, yet we trust that somehow good
Will be the final goal of ill"
There is no denying that the election
was i'll for the Democrats. The ills
brought on the people by Republican
legislation maddened them, and in their
pain they struck out blindly. They hit
their best friend when they hit the
Democratic party. But out of present
ill good may come. That sits final goal;
for truth is mighty and must prevail. Per-
haps the Democratic party will be all
the better in the end for its present af-
Fiction.
Democrats from principle can afford
to view the result in some such light as
that. All men of principle can find
comfort in the darkest hour of defeat
from those lines, of Tennyson:
"Oh, yet we trust that somehow good
Will be the final goal OF ill.,"
We do not know that Mr.. Bancroft
has been reading that poem. The NeWt
is our only authority for the suggestion
and it is never reliable on matter Of
fact. But we feel sure that he la;
taken his defeat as other brave men Of
principle take defeats, trusting thai
good will finally come and that the
triumph of sound principles is only ,
| question of time.

Piety and Politics.

No one who hos visited the south can
escape the impression that deep revo-
luton in opinion is at work there. For
several years it has been their habit to
hold modest unheralded meetings, main
ly in the rural districts, sometimes
weekly, sometimes monthly. They are
usually opened with prayer, and it is
not unusual after harvest time for the
planters to maintain camp meetings a
week together Speaking begins be-
tween and 10 in the morning, and the
slow declining sun is still spectator to
these intense congregations. There is
even fine illumining vein of religious
fervor in it all. The opening prayer,
the political song set to church music
the two hour harangue at stretch, the
patriotic cheers, like strains from new
anthem-these are not the committee
bought demonstrations Of common cam
paigns. Tt is rising Of the people, and
in due time the newspapers will make a
discovery, for they will hear these peo-
pie sing, and after that the ballot. -

For long time Pierson M. Stack
house, oonveyancer, has been expert
menting with fire extinguishing
chemical. 1t is probable that he will
give up his idea of revolutionizing such
compounds, If not altogether, for time
at least, because disaster overlook him
with one terrific swoop yesterday after
noon.
Stackhouse believed that he solved
the problem he had SO long studied over,
and yesterday afternoon he started
out from his house, 2446 North Tenth
street, to make test. He strapped the
cylinder to his back and carried the Sec
tion of rubber hose in his left hand. His
family stood at the door, and friend,
who had aided him in his experiments,
walked close beside him. The inventor
intended to see how far the chemical
would be thrown, and he fearlessly
reached up with his right hand to turn
on the stopcock at the top Of the cylin-
der in order to set the chemical to work.
At that instant there came terrific
explosion, which scared the wits nearly
out Of residents of the whole neighbor-
hood. Windows ratified ominously, and
crockeryware was demolished in some
of the closets of nearby houses. Women
and children, with blanched faces, rushed
from their homes in terror, thinking
that an earthquake or worse had come.
Stackhouse was thrown violently to
the sidewalk. The top of the cylinder
had blown off, and his right hand hung
by few shreds from his wrist. He lay
unconscious on the sidewalk as his wife
ran shrieking out to him, and crowd
quickly collected to see what the explo-
sion meant. The inventor was taken to
the Episcopal hospital, where it was
necessary to amputate the shattered
hand at the wrist. Philadelphia Rec
