money was placed at the latter figure
One bet Of $500 on Hughes to 5000 On

Murphy Wars on Cartoon.
Charles F. Murphy has decided that
pictures OF himself in stripes are getting
TO be an old story, and has given notice
through his attorney that henceforth any
newspaper depicting him in prison stripes
will have TO answer to the charge of
libel. Tie UluEatum became effective to
day.
James ". Osborne, Murphy's attorney,
explained the force OF the announcement
MIR. Murphy" he said. has been libeled
by every paper in New York that has
We are assured on THAI point, and now
wc meac TO take action against any
papers that display any more Of these
cartoons"
The first cartoon Of Murphy in stripes.
said the attorney, was no libel. because
of the political fight existing between
Hearst and Murphy.
Murphy called Hearst the assassin OF
President Mckinley and Hearst pictured
Murphy as jail bird
In connection with this. however, il Is
one political party against another. The
newspapers. say BIurphys friends. have
stolen Hearst's thunder. and are all pic
turing him as a Jail bird.
The FIRST step was 90 ask an advertising
agent that has the elevated, subway, and
street car advertising To remove four
foot cartoons of Murphy in prison stripes,
with Hearst standing back Of him, saying.
Hes good enough Tor me-when / need
him"
Under the cartoons was notice to
watch for the cartoons in an afternoon
paper. Next, the papers themselves will
come in FOR the righteous Indignation of
Murphy and the attention OF his attor-
neys.
