Washington advices tell us that
leading Republican Senators ara nov
satisfied that President Roosevelt is
processing with II clear and concert
ed purpose. 10 tear down tie Hanna
machine, and TO build up his own
fortunes by the use Of the federal
offices.
In 10 other way a they inter.
pref his policy. as recently developed.
National committe,a an after national
committee has been ignored and
overuden, IN direct contrave'inn of
the policy Of President Mex nley.
Two well known Senators, personal
friends Of President Roosevelt. are
said to have called his attention to
the fact that he has Ignored National
Committeeman Addirks, ~ Delaware;
Hawley. OF Texas; Gibbs, Of New
York: Kerns, nf Missouri. and in nd
diIoD las allowed Secretary Hitch
cock to 90 over the head Of that ulI
Republican val horse. Thomas II
Carter. in Montana. and has refused
to make an appointment desired by
Scnanor Foster, OF WtshingtOn.
Thee men. says the Albany Argus
are furthermore said to have told the
President that the national committe
men are in a con iitiou OF panic, and.
that the Senators Gencraly believe
that Mr.. Roosevelt has set up in
business for himself. These two
friends are reported ia have added:
at you are bent on tearing down
the present organization, what are
you building in its place? Where is
the Roosevelt organic .tian coming
from? Do you think you can he
President and run the Republican
party from the White House rs actual
leader?
1T is easy enough to destroy, but it
is hard to bLid up. This mGguiii.

Hanna, is rapidly becoming democrat.

nominated IN 1904. and yon van 20

going 10 turn your back on the old
men, you must get some new ones or
you will never win the next Onven
ton"
In other words, who is to be the
Hanna OF the Roosevelt admiIlstra-
ton? WHO is to manage the Roose.
welt machine, which the President Is
building up? A nan capable Of TAX

DIGN1~Y OF COURT.
AND BROKE A TABLE LEG
ARRAY Was One of Some Words and
Spirit, But of Little Action and the
Damage Was of No Consequence
Constable Cosgrove Interfered.

Attorneys Miles Cavanaugh and D.
II. Kehoe fractured the dignity of JUS
tice Nelson's court room yesterday at
ternoon by indulging in a little tete-e-
! fete not down on the bill of fare, but
Constable Tommy Cosgrove took a hand
before the damage was beyond repair.
A civil suit in which Mary Hurley
was plaintiff and George F. Barnes de-
PENDANT was being tried the amount in
tVolved being $84.7O which it was claimed
was due the plaintiff on an account as
signed by w. H. Wing. Mr.. Kehoe rep
resented Mrs. Hurley. The defense
claimed that the account had been as
signed to the Hennessy Mercantile COM
pany and therefore the plaintiff had no
standing in court. Mr.. Cavanaugh told
Judge Nelson, it is claimed, that in case
judgment for the plaintiff was ordered
the Hennessy company would bring an
action to recover on the account.
''You are attempting to deceive the
court" said Mr.. Kehoe.
The remark angered Cavanaugh and
he made swipe at Kehoe with his right,
but Kehoe executed side step punctu-
ated with an appropriate bow and es-
capped. In the melee the table had leg
broken.
Kehoe then handed Cavanaugh a few
bits of sarcasm and was about to follow
tt up with a Knockout blow when Con-
stable Cosgrove tapped the gong and or
dered both men to their quarters.
In rendering a decision in the suit JUS
tice Nelson ordered judgment for $3.50
in favor of the plaintiff and taxed the
costs to the defendant.
