RANKS WITH BEST
Record Of Special Washington News
During Memorable Session Of Con-
gress Prominent in Vast Business
By w. W. .Jerm ane.

Washington, July 1.-The telegraph
operators of Washington did their
share of hard work during the late ses-
sion Of congress, and now that the
session is ended, it lis announced that
both the telegraph companies broke all
records in the amount Of business done.
During the seven months ending June
30, the Western Union company
alone handled 1l,5oo,ooo words Of spe-
cial dispatches. out j of Washington.
This means that there were sent over
it's wires to the newspapers Of the
country 1885 columns of press matter
during the seven months, or 1915 col
umns every month, and fiftY-one col
umns every day. This record for this
company was considerably in excess Of
any Of It's previous performances.
The journals Washington bu.
reau participated quite prominently, in
this performance. During December
the daily average Of press dispatches
sent the paper was ], $50 words. or more
than column. In January, February
and March this average was main
tained. In April the average went vi
to 2,1OO words day, or a column ant
half; and in May 1t was 1900 words
day, or more than two columns daily
The June average was 1865 word
daily, or nearly two columns
There is only one newspaper in tn
. country west Of Chicago which cam
/ anywhere near this average. That pa
per is the Kansas City Star. (.

Toledo. Ohio, July Judge Reyn-
old r. Kinkade, who sentenced five
prominent Toledoans. members of the
ice trust, Ito prison for violating the
state antitrust law, is self-made man.
He was born on a farm In Iowa, but he
was orphaned when "a youngster and
came to Toledo, where he worked at
odd jobs during the day and studied at
night. He fitted himself for the posi-
tion of court stenographer and then be-
gan the study Of law. After being ad-
mitted to the bar his rise was rapid.
Concerning his action in imposing
prison sentence upon the ice trust men
he said to their attorneys: : .Ss@
eft has been said by counsel that a
night in Jail is more punishment to
these men than years Imprisonment
is to many who come before this bar
and it is true But under the law if
a man comes before me convicted OF
having stolen property to the mere
value of $95 this court can do no less
than send him to the penitentiary fol
year, and if you sat upon this bench
and saw the weeping Of women anc
children when men come here for sen
tence, having committed crimes which
| do not affect society as this crime does
you would recognize the position of thi:
court and its duty

The Minneapolis journal., 1906-07-08

Judge Kinkade, besides conducting
vigorous campaign against the bridge
trust and the Standard Oil monopoly,
is A years old, and native Of Toledo.
He was educated in the public schools.
Mr.. Wachenheimer was reared a dem
ocrat in a city which has always been
republican by big majority. For
many years none but a republican ever
held public Office here. Nine or ten
years ago the democrats nominated Mr.
Wachenheimer for police judge and he
was elected. Before his term was half
completed he was the most popular Of
fetal in the city. He was terror to
lawbreakers, and the result was per-
ceptible diminution of crime in Toledo.
So we'll liked was Judge Wachenheim-
er that he was chosen a second and
third time, by overwhelming majorities:
The republican machine, which had
controlled Toledo politics prior to the
advent of Mayor Jones, was in close
touch with wing Of the democratic
party, and it was proposed by. this com
| bine to nominate Judge Wachenhelme1
! for any office he chose to designate
But he rejected the offer and came out
as the people IS champion and was nom non
mated for prosecuting attorney. The
democrats on the inside called hin
traitor, but their bitterness served only
to nerve him to greater effort, and he
won an overwhelming victory over tht
