Washington, D. G., Sept. 26.-Major

political interview to the Washington
Post to which he predicts that Sena-
tor Allison will be reelected despite
the hard fight that is being made
to place younger man from Iowa in
the office. Regarding his own candi-
dacy for senatorial honors, Major La

quotes him as saying that he is not

Major Lacey. But l think Senator Al
lison will win.
1T would not only be state calam-
ity to retire the senator, but 1t would
be a national calamity. Allison is ap.
preaching his eightieth year, but he
is one of the most remarkable men
of his years. There are occasionally
men who are strong men when they
become old physically, and Allison is
one of them Like BismarK, Gladstone
and Cincinnatus, he is giant, even
with the weight of more than three
score years and ten on his shoulders.
No one will dispute that he is the rec
ognized head of the senate. Ask any
one: ask a politician in Texas or New
York, who is the leade rof the senate?
He will tell you Allison. Ask labor
er in the streets and he, too, will tell
Alaska and he will eacho Allison. The
senator has practically recovered
from the illness which laid him up for
some weeks last winter and is stead
lily growing stronger. His cheeks are
beginning to glow with youth. and his
mind is as, vigorous as ever. repeat
that it would be g calamity to retire
Senator Allison and l do not think the
people of the state will permit it.

by the Defendant.

In polite society 1t is not consider
ed proper to crawl up on the kitchen

Dutch hog"
This point In etiquette was decided
by Police Judge Kirby this morning
when he fined Mrs Martha Miller Of

Ludwig, would get out In the yard
and yell: mems come to the Miller's
house. No mems come to my house"
mix Come Arous'' Ruled Out.
On another occasion Mrs. Miller
said her neighbor blew her nose in her
face. That is. it was Mrs. Ludwig's
nose and Mrs. Miller's face. Another
time she stuck cats tailSin Mrs. Mil
ler's face, the witness alleged. Mrs.
Ludwig then went through the back

direct bearing on the case at issue IN
which Mrs. Miller was charged with
disturbing the peace.
Herman Ludwig, wife Of the com
plainant, went on the stand.
"This Miller woman she called my
old woman Dutch hag' or Dutch
hog What she mean about this,
huh?'
did she say this in loud voice?''
asked Attorney Ramsell
why, she was always noisy. She
was never quiet" averred the wit
ness.
Mrs. Ludwig was more emphatic
1--WE have a high fence in the back
yard" she said "and when this wo
man couldn't see me over the fence
she would climb on the kitchen root
and call me names. Once she said
Here she is, girls. Here is that old

Neighbors Called In.

titled that on one occasion he saw

the defendant, running after Mrs. Lud:

Mrs. Miller call Mrs. Ludwig a hog
Dan Gibbons, who lives across the
street from the quarreling neighbors,

to say whether it was the defendant
or the complainant
After hearing the evidence Judge
Kirby made the fine $50 or a fifteen
days jail sentence for Mrs. Miller
