HERTZ AND LORIMER CLASH
Yacht Races at Oshkosh Bring War
of Words at Hotel

Oshkosh, Wis, Aug. 26.-After the
yacht races at the regatta there were
hot words between Congressman Lori
mer and Commodore Henry L. Hertz,
both of Chicago, in the hotel corridor.
The golden-haired congressman openly
accused the Hertz men of jockeying his
boat in the race of Saturday. Hertz
declaration that he would not let young
Lorimer sail on Robert Nunnemacher's
boat brought things to a head in the
dining room. Lorimer's protest was so
loud that Hertz invited him out in the
corridor. He went willingly.
The crowd followed, expecting blows,
but the exchange Of compliments was
confined to talk.
The maritime battle between the two
men commenced when Hertz succeeded
in shutting out the Lorimer boat Pots
from participating in the regatta as the
representa- tive of the Pistakee Lake club.
The Pots was then entered under the
colors of the Columbus club of Chicago
and today beat the Mavis, which Hertz
had substituted from the Pistakee club.
The Pots is sailed by Lorimer's sons.

was a contest from Hamilton county,
(CincinnatD. The result of this action
was that the First and Second districts
at Cincinnati, which are anti-Johnson,
were prevented from voting in the or
ganization of the committees and the
convention. while the Twentieth and
Twenty-first districts at Cleveland were
enabled to take part.
The state central committee referred
the contests in four other counties to
the committee on credentials without
recommendation These counties are in
different congressional districts and
those districts proceeded to select mem
bers of the committees without the con-
tested counties taking part, the result
being thus favorable to the johnson
men.
The Zimmerman men carried the fight
into the meetings of all committees. The
most bitter feeling is expressed against
the action of the old state central COM
mittee in passing on contested cases,
which is said to be without precedent
In the history of the party.
The new state central committee or
ganized with w. L. Finley, of Kenton,
as chairman, and Z. c. Madigan. of
Cleveland, as secretary. both Johnson
men. The johnson men controlled all
the committee meetings, but the Zim-
norman men fought at every point.

WICHITA PROTESTS.
Increase of Coal Rates Causes a
Storm.

On behalf of the city of Wichita, and
backed by its mayor and city council,
A. +. Helm. formerly city attorney OF
Wichita, and H. L. Reising, secretary Of
the Wichita traffic bureau, today filed Il
protest with the state board of railroad
commissioners against a proposed read
justment of freight rates on certain
classes of freight to Wichita. Another
protest, backed by the southern Kansas
wholesale grOcers, was filed against
proposed new rate on coffee. canned
goods and beans.
The railroads propose to raise the rate
on coal to Wichita from the Kansas coal
fields 10 cents a ton. A differential Of
% cents a ton is also put on steam and
slack coal, which makes total raise Of
40 cents on the latter. which it is al
legged will work a great hardship 10
Wichita's manufacturing interests The
Wichita Eagle in commenting on the
complaint, says:
THE new Kansas law regulating the
railroads within this state is said to be
great deal more powerful than was
heretofore believed, This is the first ac-
ton to be taken under it. According 10
the new law, those damaged by high
rates can complain. or municipal gov
ernment can do so. AS this matter OF
coal rates affects every manufacturer IN
Wichita, and means much to the city, 1t
was thought best to have the mayor and
4 citV council bring the complaint. AS
/ soon as possible after the complaint is
filed. the board of railroad commission
1 ers is compelled to make a thorough in
vestigation of the allegations in the bill
and they are to decide on what is a rea-
sonable rate from points to another
/ within the state of Kansas. When this
! order is made and the railroads given
proper notice to put it into effect, if the
roads do not put in the rate the COM
/ missioners or the cOmplainants are al
! lowed to bring their case before the
/ s11nreue court where the evidence Sc
/ cured at the commissioners hearing is
considered prima-face evidence. The
complainants ask for a writ of man
damus to compel the railroads to put
in the rate which the commissioners
/ have declared to be reasonable. Manda-
mus proceedings are advanced on the
supreme court docket above all others
except criminal cases."

Why Frank HolIembeck "H card
Something Drop"
Was Training With Wrong
Crowd Says Burton.
A CHANCE TO REFORM.
Can Have Place Back If He
Desires.
Price Is Support of the Right
Men.

Why was Frank TTollembecl let out
as assistant United States deputy mar
shal for the Fort Scott division of the
United States district court two months
ago. and why has no successor been
appointed for him? This is a question
which some of the politicians are ask
ing just now.
Hollembeck's friends alIege that the
reason for his discharge was that he
has been supporting H J. Allen in the
Second district congressional fight
against Congressman Bowersock, and
that the place is left open for him so
that he can be reinstated providing he
will desert Allen and support Bower
sock.
Hollembeck's home is in johnson
county. Three years ago he was q
strong Burton supporter. and on the
strength of that he was appointed
deputy United States marshal Last
year, however. he supported Represen-
tative Spear for the legislature. whe
was a Stanley man. This displeased
the Burton element, and was the first
thing that caused a disagreement be-
tween Hollembeck and his chief, Unit
ed States Marshal Mackey.
Some time ago State Treasurer TIT.
Kelly visited johnson county and, Hol-
lembeck's friends assert. looked UP
Hollembeck's position in the present
congressional fight. Jehnson county is
one of the counties where the battle
between Allen and Bowersock will be
fought out. A few days after Mr..
Kelly's visit Hoilefnbeck received a de-
mand from United States Marshal
Mackey for his resignation, which was
given.
Hollembeck did not like to give up
his job. and as he had already been
friendly with Senator Burton personally
telephone and asked him to use his in
f1uence with Mackey to secure his REIN
statement Senator Burton replied that
he could do nothing for him. You have
been training with the wrong crowd
| lately" said the senator.
| But notwithstanding the fact that
Hollembeck was let out two months ago
the vacancy has not been filled. A short
time ago Hollembeck received a letter
from Congressman Bowersock asking
| that Hollembeck meet him and Treasur-
er Kelley in Kansas City for
a conferences. Mr.. Bowersock ex-
pressed the hope that affairs
might be ironed out so that Hol-
| lembeck could be reinstated. The letter
did not say SO, but the price of his re-
| throw his influence in johnson county
| to Bowersock and against Allen.
The result of this conference is not
| yet known. Perhaps it will not be
known until 1t is seen whether Holiem-
| beck is reinstated and whether he sup
ports Bowersock instead OF Allen. These
things will tell.

1T CANNOT BE.
Says Judge Gray in Discussing His
Presidential Boom.

New York, Aug. 26.-Judge Gray has
returned from Birmingham, Ala, where
he acted as chairman of the arbitration
board which settled the coal strike, says
a dispatch from Wilmington, Del, to the
Tribune. Regarding the action OF the
Lackawanna county Pa.) Democrats in
launching presidential boom for him
he said:
Il have read the stories mentioning
my name as a presidential candidate
but 1 do not take any of them serious
ly / do not think there is anything in
any of them. 1 know that it can not be,
and for that reason 1 give the matter
no thought. 1t is not even a possibility.
The so-called boom will amount to moth
ing, and for that reason 1 do not care
to discuss it. OF course, 1 am pleased
to think my friends think so highly Of
me and appreciate their compliment"

THEY WANTED TO TRADE.
Prohibition Wing Would Have Sup
ported Some Liberals"

The latest move in Shawnee county
politics was a move on the part of a
few of the prohibition wing of the Re
publicans to trade off all the county
offices for the judgeship.
The plan was for the liberal element
to concede the nomination of a judge
to succeed Hazen to the prohibitionists
and in turn the liberal element might
name the sheriff. probate judge, county
attorney and all the other officers
without opposition. Had this agreement
gone through ]. B. Larimer or Mat
Campbell or George H Whitcomb
would have been nominated by the
prohibition element and A. w. Dana
would have thereby been about elm
mated from the race along with Arthur
McCabe and L. S. Dolman. The pro-
position fell through and was not ac-
ccpted by the liberal element, but Dol
man and McCabe are not regarded SER
iously
