George w Peck May Run Again

George w. Peck. famous as a
strenuous not to say yellow,
journalist of early days in the north
west, is willing to run for governor
of Wisconsin again.
Brother Peck is best known to
men not far from the fifties as the
perpetrator of the ''Peck's Bad
Boy" stories, sketches that were ex-
cruciatingly funny in their day and
we regret to say, productive of a
large crop of bad boys.
If he was not associated with
''Brick" Pomeroy in the publication
OF the La Crosse Democrat, he made
it almost as lively as that worthy
had, after securing possession of it
back in the sixties. Then he had
a paper called the Sun ip La Crosse
removing it to Milwaukee and
making it famous for humorous
sketches.
Though full of fun, Peck has al
ways looked out pretty well for the
main chance" and in matters of
business or politics is a very serious
minded man. We have an example
of this happy combination in our
own J. Adam Bede.
Back in 1890 the people of Milwau-
kee thought enough of Peck to make
him their mayor and along about
that time he was twice elected gov
ernor of Wisconsin. Conditions in
the republican party of the state
were much the same then as now and
his supporters advance the argument
that what has been done twice in
thirty years can be done again.
Mr.. Peck is merely receptive
candidate. He says he would work
harder for some other nominee than
he would for himself. At the same
time he acknowledges that he has
BEN highly honored by his party
and if he is called upon to lead it
again he will do so with all his
strength.
Mr.. Peck is hale and hearty at the
age of GA and if he is nominated he
promises to show the discordant re-
publicans that the campaign is no
joke. He is bad boy in politics

GREAT AUTO CONTEST
WILL TAKE PLACE TO-DAY
MOTION FOR IN INJUNCTION is
DENIED.

". X. Vanderbilt, Jr., Present in Court
When Case was Being Argued-Court
Room Filled--Grounds ON which
Judge smith Refuses the Petition
Holds That the Board Of Supervisors
Acted within Their Power.
New York. Oct Judge William NJ.
Smith in the supreme court in Brook
yn to-day denied the motion for an in
junction against the Automobile Assoc
citation of America. the object of which
was to prevent the SOO-mile automobile
raie over Long Island roads tomorrow
for the w. X. Vanderbilt. jr., cup.
The question argued before Judge
Smith was whether or not an injunc-
ton should issue restraining the auto
mobile association from conducting the
race on certain thoroughfares in Nassau
and King counties. The application for
such injunction was directed against
the association and the board of super
.visors of Nassau county individually.
The petitioner was George M. Bennett,
'of Hampstead, L. L, secretary of the
Peoples Protective association of Mas
sau county, which was represented by
attorney William H. Good, who argued
that the race was planned to take place
on five highways, from the use of
which the general public was to be de-
barred from early in the morning of
Saturday until the middle of the after
moon Of that day, solely for the gratifi-
cation, he said, of those who wanted to
learn how fast an automobile could be
driven. He quoted law, passed in
MAY last, governing the case, but con-
atended that this law was unconstitu-
tional, in that 1t granted special privi-
leges and immunities. The supervisors
were thus acting unconstitutionally he
declared.
William H. Wyckoff argued for the
automobile association that special po-
.lice regulations could be suspended on
amy road, IL the supervisors considered
such suspension proper and not exclu-
sive. AS to the constitutionality Of the
cease, it must be tried in another form
THE object Of the automobile associa-
tion, he explained, was to find out, by
the race, what advancement had been
nade IN the construction of automobiles
since 1903.
Judge Smith said that the statute did
mot appear to him to be unconstitu-
ltional, because it did not appear to be

Terrific Endeavors of sIonopoIistic Conn
merciaI Organizations to Drain the
Country of Ivory and RuBber-Reso-
IutiOns Adopted Recommending All
Nations to Enter Treaty Submitting
Disputes to Union of All the Powers.
Boston, Oct. liking Leopold Of Bel
gium was assailed for his policy as
sovereign Of the Congo Free State. at a
public meeting held this afternoon In
connection with the sessions of the in
ternational peace conference. The meet
ing, which was one of the largest OF
the congress. had been called to con-
slider the mutual relation Of races ana
the menace to the worlds order through
the exploitation of weaker peoples.
The attack upon King Leopold was
made by E. T. Modrel, of England. who
represented the Congo Reform associa-
ton Mr.. Morel charged that the king
was personally responsible in large
measure for cruelties practiced on the
natives Of the Congo Free State in the
terrific endeavors of monopolistic COM
mercial organizations to obtain from.
the country all the ivory and rubber
possible.
The king was defended by George
Herbert Head, Of Cambridge England,
who submitted that King Leopold had
done all possible to stop the cruelties
practiced, and who also urgently as
serted that whatever profits came from
the trading and development in the
Congo did not pass to King Leopold at
all, but were expended instead for the
development of the Congo state and in
public works in Belgium.
The government policy in the Congo
also was bitterly denounced by Rev. w,
w. Morrison, for seven years mission-
ary in the Congo land.
The congress to-day adopted a report
Of the the committee on propaganda,
recommending that the congress in 1905
be held at Lucerne, Switzerland. The
same committees report in favor Of the
establishment of branches of the Berne
peace bureau in the leading citis OF the
world, SO that the doctrines of peace
may be effectually disseminated
throughout the globe, was also adopted
unanimously.
/ One Of the first things which the com
gress did to-day was to adopt resolu-
tions recommending to all nations to
jenter into a treaty insuring, In case Of.
! a dispute between two countries, that
the difference would be submitted for
] settlement to a union Of all the powers.
A second public meeting this after
! noon was held in the old South meet
ing house, to consider the progdess OF
the peace movement in Europe, with
addresses by prominent foreign dele
gats.
\ a dinner was given tonight at which
1.-THE foreign delegates were the gusts.

The previous speakers having referred
to the problems, social and ethical that
confront humanity, the archbishop took
occasion to say that it was wrong to
suppose that these problems demanded
Immediate attention. The speaker said
that he did not advocate shelving these
problems permanently, but rather their
temporary retirement, keeping them
continually in mind until they work out
their own solution.
In conclusion the primate declared
that the educated man had great
moral advantage over his more ignor-
ant neighbors. He made an eloquent
appealto the students to affiliate them
selves with the church, and contribute
to its support.

FARMER WHfPPLE CAUGHT.
Put Two Bullets In His Head-Died at
Hosnttal.

East Glastonbury Oct. TIN an at
tempt to make good his threat not to
be taken alive, John Whipple, the out
lawed farmer, put two bullets into his
head when he found himself cornered
q by a posse Of armed men In barn on
i the South Glastonbury highway late
this afternoon. It does not seem likely
that he will live to be brought to trial.
Since September u Whipple has defied
1.-THE officers Of the Law, who wanted him,
4 in the first place, for shooting a neigh
Dor and later for setting fires which
destroyed two sets of farm buildings.
and since a week ago Sunday on the
additional charge Of shooting State Of
n ficer Louks.
For three weeks Whipple has kept in
\ the woods. 1t was known that the des-
perate man was heavily armed and that
he would shoot any one who attempted
to take him, as was shown by his
wounding Officer Louks, who had sur
prised him at home. It was thought
that Whipple would sooner or later
come out into the open to get food, and
this proved to be the case this after
noon when he appeared at the farm
house Of Theodore Evans on the South
glastonbury road. He wanted food and
it was given to him, as the inmates Of
the house did not dare to refuse. Whip
s pie then went into the barn to sleep.
Word was sent around the neighbor-
hood that Whipple was on the Evans
place and the farmers gathered with
their weapons A message was sent
here for some Of the state officers to go
over and direct the work Of capture,
They swooped down on the barn, but
Whipple saw them coming and shot
himself before they could prevent,
Whipple died at the Hartford hospita1
shortly before midnight. His bodv
probably will be taken back to East
Glastonbury, his former home.
