KENTUCKY SENATORIAL FIGHT.
CANDIDATE HUNTER INDICTED BY
THE GRAND JURY.
Republicans Claim it is a Conspiracy
Among Democrats to Defeat
Their Favorite.

LOUISVILLE Ry), April IA
special to the Evening Post" from
Frankfort says:
The Franklin County Grand Jury has
returned true bills against DR.. w. God
frey Hunter, Republican nominee for
United States Senator; ex-Congress-
man Henry Wilson of the Eleventh Dis
trict; E. r. Franks of the Second Dis
trict, Captain Noel Gaines and his
brother-in-law, Thomas Tanner of
Frankfort.
These named have been indicted for
conspiracy to bride. All are Republi-
cans, with the exception of Gaines and
Tanner.
The Indictments were all included in
one bill. and filed in court at 1920
o'clock. The news at once became pub
lic and created the greatest indigna-
ton among Republicans all of whom
denounced it as a conspiracy among
Frankfort Democrats to humiliate and
defeat Hunter. They claimed that the
indictments against Gaines and Tanner
the Democrats, were returned simply
to prevent the public from gaining the
impression that the Grand Jury had
been made an engine of political perse-
cution, and that they will be dismissed
sufficient evidence.
Chairman JONES' of tho Republican
caucus, said it was a "diabolicaI and
hellish conspiracy and the Repubr-
cans would disprove and resent it in
a proper spirit. State Senator Deboe
was of the same opinion, and not one of
the Republican leaders hesitated to
condemn the action of the Grand Jury
as partisan and prejudiced.
When the indictments had been re-
turned, Judge Cantrill ordered that
bench warrants be issued for the arrest
of the accused and made returnable for
the next term of court, which is in Sep
TENDER, and bail was fixed at $3.50 in
each case.
Judge Cantrill said: II do not think
it proper to try the cases at this term
of court, but if the parties come in and
ask for an immediate trial, 1 will pro-
coed with it at once; otherwise. it will
go over until September"
A conspiracy to bride is a common
law offense in Kentucky, the penalty
being fine or imprisonment.
The session of the General Assembly
this morning was uneventful. the birth
cry indictments overshadowing all else
Many OF the members were absent. and
those who were not had made pairs.
According to previous agreement a.
formal ballot will be taken and one
vote cast for each of the candidates.
Dr. Hunter has at last rebelIed
against Hanna and his agent here. Sam
uel Taylor of Ohio and yesterday after
noon sent request to Taylor that he
leave Frankfort at once and not re-
turn to NEEDLE in the Senatorial mud
die. This was not done, however until
it had become known that the Admins
tration had withdrawn it's support from
Hunter, and it was the desire of Hanna
that he retire in favor of some candi-
date who would unite the party Then
1t was that Hunter asked Taylor to
leave. Taylor communicated with
Hanna at once, and was told to use his
own discretion. He will remain at
least for a time.

FRENCH WINES AND BRANDIEs.
Derogatory Statement r!ade by Our
COnsuIs to be Corrected.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE re-
markable statement of the French pre-
mier, M. Hanotaux, as to the position
of the French Government towards the
pending tariff bill, which was made the
subject of a special cable dispatch by
the Associated Press yesterday, has at
tracted attention in official circles here.
Particular interest has been excited by
the criticisms upon the American Con-
sular officers in France, and investiga-
ton makes it apparent that the sub
ject recently has been discussed at
length by the diplomatic representa-
tives of the two countries, and that our
Government, finally cOnceding the cor
rectness of the French assertion that
our Consuls exceeded their instructions
in criticising the French wines, had de-
cided to print in the same publication
which contained the Consular reports
statement in vindicatiOn of the wines.
The complaint is no new one, so far
as the French Government is concern
ed. For the past twenty years our Con-
suls in France in their reports to the
State Department have had much to
say as to the extent of the adulteration
of French wines and brandies. The
latest publication, however, which
has brought down the wrath of the
French Government upon our COnsuls
|came from Consul Chancellor at HaVre,
and was printed in the United States
Consular reports of date July I'd last.
This was a general report on Wine
making in France" and in its course
Mr. Chancellor made some strong
statements
The French objections to the state
ment of the Consul was that he was
not supported by the official figures,
but had accepted mere hearsay state
ments and the gossip of newspapers
and ex parte reports as the basis for
the statements, which were calculated
greatly to harm the reputation that the
French wines had earned not only in
the United States, but in every coun-
try in the world.
The State Department made inquiry
into the matter and without going be-
hind the regulations it had established,
was obliged to confess Judgment, for
its standing Instructions to it's Consular
officers are to avoid accepting as the
basis for official reports anything less
than official statements, etc, else ex-
planatory notes should be attached.
The matter is now, however, as before
stated, already adjusted, and with the
publication of the explanatory state
ment in the next number of the United
States Consular reports the incident
will end.

OAKLAND, April 11.-Sixty men

the late Editor COwles of the Cleveland
Leader was pleased to call the reporter 5
first and foremost rule. "Put the where,
when and what in the first paragraph
and let the why make the rest of the
article" was the able Clevland editor ;
first trite lesson to many aspirant for
newspaper hOnors, who began his career
on the Leader.
And this brief rule is worth remember
ing. 1t is excellent for the guidance of
the newspaper tyrO, while the expert
enced reporter will recognize in it direc-
tions which he invOluntarily follows.
Notice how it applies:
"A fire broke out at o'clock last
evening in the rear of the Maleable Iron
Works foundry on Commercial street.
II was caused by falling sparks from the
chimney of the moulding room, etc., etc.
The where, when and what are in the
first sentence. The why's and where

pie and useful. Many newspaper
novice will find his path made easier by
knowing it, however automatic it may
seem to the veteran of the pen. Anc
