HARD BLOW FOR
 STANDPATTERS Many Leaders Lost Out in the
 Recent Election EVANS MADE GREAT FIGHT 
A New Story Is Told How Chairman Griggs Lost $25,ooo By Single Sentence From MT.
 Bryan's Lips.
BY PATTERSON sTEALEy.

Washington, November S.-(Special)- The stand-patters in the House fared very badly as the result of the election. Chair man Payne's vote was greatly reduced in New York. Dalzell, the second man on the committee, had his majority cut down one-half. Grosvenor was defeated in convention and will not be a member of the new committee; Watson, Curtis and Needham come back with decreased n1ajoritles. Babcock was defeated, but that is not a victory for the tariff re- visionists, as Babcock has been urging his party for the last five years to re- duce some of the schedules.
 On the other hand McCleary of Mime sota has been forced into retirement. He has been the mainstay of the stand-pat- ters in the House, and during the last two campaigns his tariff speeches have been sent broadcast over the country by the republican committee. In addition Cummins wins in Iowa and the stand-pat congressman are all reduced. There will be three vacancies on the committee to be filled by the speaker in the next Con gross.
 Will Arouse Controversy
 Should William Olden Smith be elected to the Senate in Michigan there will be four vacancies on ways and means. The new selections will undoubtedly be the subject of determined controversy among the republicans Chairman Griggs of the democra tie committee believes the cleo tou proves one thing, and that is that the tariff is the issue upon which the democrats have a chance of winning two years hence.
 '"rake the men who have been leaders in the present organization of the House, said MT. Griggs today. "They have all had their troubles this election. Three or them are defeated, everywhere there is a remarkable result in view ot the reorgah- ization of the ways and means committee. There is one common exclamation. that IS .--i-e result day before yester-

Topeka, Kas., November S.--S. C. Crum- mer, chairman of the republican state central committee, this afternoon gave cut the following statement:
 Every telegram has been received and tabulated in public III the presence of the reporters for the democratic, as well as the republican papers, and the doors of the republican headquarters have never been locked from the time the campaign was opened until this time.
 '"rho mtimation on the part of some of the democratic press that some of the republican leaders were trying to make changes in the returns are deliberate and malicious falsehoods We have hothing to cover up; our fight has been in the open; we have won, and we shall sec to It that no attempt is made to steal the victory from us."

ELECTION REFLECTIONS.
DEMOCRATS CRY

HocH AND OTHERS INDIGNANTLY DENY THE REPUTATION AND SAY NO EFFORT IS BEING MADE TO STEAL ELECTION.

Topeka, Kas., November S-David over myer, democratic candidate for attorney general, today, in an interview, is quoted as saying that republican leaders are making an effort to count out William A. Harris, the democratic candidate for governor. MT. Overmyer said:
 T believe MT. Harris received suffi- cient votes to elect him, and that every possible effort is being made to count him out.
 Men have been counted out in Kan sas before, and I have information which l believe to be reliable, that the same handy men who have manipulated ballots before, have been at work again, in various localities in the state. Men with carpet bags full of marked tickets left Topeka Tuesday night.
 "I believe, however, that the official count will show Harris election. despite these efforts"

He needs the coal to supply his copper mines and smelters in Arizona and says that he is tired ofpaying tribute to the Cobra do Fuel and Iron Company and incidentally to the railroads, which means that after buying the coal mines he will build his own railroad from the coal fields to Jerome, Arizona.

FIGHTS EIGHT HOURLAW
Carnegie steel Company says 1t Would
Cripple Large Institutions.

Washington, May ga. c. Hay
den, representing the Carnegie Steel
company, opposed the eight hour bill
today before the house committee on
labor. He said the enactment of the
measure would drive every large IN
stitution now taking government CON
tracts from that field. would turn over
the manufacture of supplies of the
government to the small contractor
and would increase the cost of the
same to the government from II Y to
rs per cent.
The Carnegie company, he said. at
one time made the experiment Of
changing its factory method from two
shifts, men working 2 hours each, to
three shifts working eight hours. The
result was that the product of the fac
tory decreased 20 per cent.
Another decided objection mention
ed was that under the bill as drawn, if
a laborer shoould by any chance or by
design work one or two minutes over
time and the government inspector
should see him and report the case,
the employer would be subjected to
the penalty provided for violating the
law, although he might be entirely in
nocent of any design to do so. More
than this, he said the bill was so
drawn that it made the inspector the
final arbiter, the courts could not go
back of the report of the inspector.

MRS. MYERS MUST HANG
Supreme Court UphoIds Verdict in
Kansas City Murder.

Jefferson City, Mo. May 22.-The
state supreme court today upheld the
death sentences imposed by the lower
court in the cases of Frank Hoffman
and Mrs. Aggie Myers. convicted of
numbering the woman's husband,
Clarence Myers. at Kansas City, on
May IL, 1904, and set June 20 next as
the date Of execution in each case.
Story of the Crime.
Kansas City, Mo. May 22--The
murder of Clarence Myers by his wife,
Aggie Myers and Frank Hoffman, her
lover was most cold blooded. Myers
was a printer and lived with his wife
in a small cottage on the outskirts of
the city Hoffman was frequent
caller at the house. Hoffman and
Mrs. Myers, it developed at their trial,
deliberately planned to get Myers out
of the way so they could marry.
On the night of the murder the wo-
man let Hoffman into the house
Hoffman. in the darkness. struck
Myers with billiard cue. Myers
called to his wife for help. In reply
she stabbed her husband repeatedly in
the back with a pair of scissors and
held him while Hoffman finished the
Job Mrs Myers gave Hoffman
money with which he fed to Walla
Walla, Wash, where he was arrested.
Hoffman confessed. duplicating the
woman.

HTS The CONSULS
They Find That Compensation
Has Been CurtaiIed.
Congress Abolished Fees and
Fixed Salary Basis.
KEPT IT A SECRET.
Refused to Make Report of All
the Fees.
Feared Places Would Be Too
Attractive for Office Seekers.

Washington, May 22.=One of the
expected results of the consular re-
organization act now being placed in
operation is the discontinue of some
consular officers who have been con-
cealing the actual amount of the un-
official fees of their offices.
The practice was not dishonest in
one sense, for the consuls are in many
cases permitted to retain all such
fees. But for the sake of the rec
ords of the department and in order
to enable the officials to know the
state of the business of the consulates
it was required that all such fees
should be accounted for. But some
consuls feared that to publish the
amount of such fees they received
would be to make their Offices too at
tractive to Office seekers so they failed
to make the full returns.
Their punishment came when con-
gress passed the reorganization act on
the basis of substitution to lump sal
aries for the combined salary and fee
system of compensation.
There was no intention of reducing
the compensation of many of the con-
suls, but it has naturally followed that
the consuls who failed to return their
full fees have suffered a substantial re-

New Orleans, May 22.-In a lengthy

has been obtained in three cases of
leprosy- The cures are mentioned in

sulting 1epero1ogist. These patients
have been discharged.
1t is stated in the report that the
disease continues to spread in this state
and that the cases show evidence of a
recent outbreak and that there were
certain centers of infection yet to be
Investigated In some instances the
disease has been carried to noninfected
points by patients who escaped from
the home. The legislature is asked to
locate all of the points of infection.
The members of the board suggest
that an appeal be made to the federal
government to establish national hos
pita1 for lepers.

Chas. B. Smith then made a motion
on behalf of the plaintiff that the only
question to be submitted to the jury
be the amount of damages to be award
ed to c. G. Coleman. He asked that
the jury be sent from the room, and
this was done.
Mr.. Smith then proceeded to argue
his motion He said that the defendan Mt
contends that the public9tion is priv
ileged. He said that some courts sus-
tained this position, provided that the
publication were confined to the state
Of Kansas. He held that the fact that
the State Journal circulates in other
tsates makes it impossible for the
defense to claim that the publication is
privileged
Mr.. Waggener said: Are you willing
to concede the facts set forth in the
answer as true, and stand on the pro-
position you have submitted?'"
mo, sir, 1 will not" replied Mr.. Smith
promptly.
Mr.. waggener replied to Mr.. Smith.
He said: This is somewhat novel
practice to me. We are willing to sub
nit this to the court, and let that end
the case If the decision is in favor OF
US. If not we will go ahead and deter
mine the amount of damages"
Mr.. Waggener cited several authorf-
ties controverting the position taken by
Mr.. Smith. tThe fact that this matter
may have come to the attention OF
some citizen Of Missouri does not take
away llS privileged character, con-
Guided Mr.. Waggener.
Let me ask you a question: said
Mr. Waters to Mr.. Smith. do you
mean to say that a newspaper can not
print an article about some scoundrel
who is a candidate for state Office II
that newspaper sends one copy outside
of the state -
That's his position Interrupted Mr.
| Waggener.
NO, we don't contend that said
Mr.. Smith.
Judge Dana ruled that the publica-
ton was privileged. and that the tria'
should go on. The jury was then re-
called and the taking Of testimony
/ begun.
