CorteIyou and PFesidency.

Governor Charles E. Hughes, of
New York. while mentioned as
Presidential possibility, appears not
to be commanding a national notice
in that connection of any significance
and even in his own State, while at
tracing more than the usual atten-
ton because of some forms he has
introduced and especially because of
his control of legislature reputed
to be hostile to him in more than
one particular, he does not yet COM
mand such notice or prestige in the
Republican party as to cause there to
be conspicuous fRsistence for his
nomination.
More significant; perhaps. is the
feeling among thousands of New
York Republicans that, If New York
is to name the candidate. 1T should
be George B. Cortelyou, secretary of
the treasury The able osecretary
possesses a wonderfully great capac-
ity for the proper dispatch of gov
rnmental affairs, and, with his long
ears of experience has climbed to
high position and today commands
wide influence among the states
men OF the period. His course has
been one of constant development
and long since he became an inval-
liable counsellor in the Presidential
cabinet.
Besides, Mr.. Cortelyou retains his
friends in the national organization
most of the men who worked with
him in the campaign of 1904-and
they will all have big part in the
convention next year. Also Mr..
Cortelyou has placed some influen-
tial personal friends in government
offices with wide ranges in influences
Some of these were chosen at his in
stance, even though the President
had other preferences. and all these
will not be ungrateful to him.
should they be asked for support, or
should other friends insist on his
nomination.
While the Taft campaign occupies
the central part of the stage now,
there may yet be something tending
to relegate it somewhat, and none
would then stand out more promin-
emily than Mr.. Cortelyou. But, in
this 1t may be said that the secretary
of the treasury, strong as he is ma
tionally, has expressed no idea of
antagonizing the administration in
the choice OF a candidate. and. hence.
is kindly disposed toward the Taft
boom.
| Should it come that Mr.. Cortel-
you should decide definitely to be a
candidate and should his friends in
any degree urge his candidacy. the
Telegram believes firmly that under
the usual circumstances Mr.. Cortel-
you would receive splendid sup
ort in West Virginia. This Is based
on the fact that he is popular with
ali West virginians who know him
personally and with all other West
Virginians who are acquainted with
his ability and official success.
Cortelyou's elevation to the Presi-
dency would mean that the nation
would continue in its marvellous de-
velopment and the ship of State
would he guided by safe and ex-
perienced hand.

battle in which, nearly forty years
ago, a young scout killed an Indian
chief whose atrocities had marked
the advance OF civilization with hor-
rors untold, is more than a matter
of history to the public even to this
day, for the scene Is daily and
nightly being reenacted by the very

by the magnetic fact of the original

among the most telling of modern

 HELD ID THE JURY
Charge of Criminal Libel Must
 Be Answered
COUNTER CHARGE IS MADE
Affair Is Mixed Up With Raymond Hitchcock's Case and t,.n Political Fortunes of Lieutenant Gov
 ernor Stuyvesant Chanler.

New York, November 21.-Justce Wyatt in the court of special sessions to- day held William Randolph Hearst for the grand jury on a charge of criminal libel preferred by William Astor Chanler. s. S. Carvolho gave bail for Mr. Hearst.
 The amount of the bond was fixed at $500, the usual sum required in misde- meanor cases. MT. Carvalho is the gen. eneral manager of the Hearsts New York newspapers. Both Mr. Hearst and his bondsman were in court when Justice Wyatt handed down his decision.
 He repaired to the o~Ice of District Attorney Jerome while the bail bond was being repaired. It was later approved by Justice Wyatt and Mir. Hearst and his attorneys drove away in, the big red automobile which brought them to the criminal court building. The charge against MT. Hearst grew out of publi- cation in the New York Evening Jour nal concerning the case of Raymond Hitchcock, the actor.
 MT Chanler's name was mentioned in connection with the article. Several
  during which MT. Chanler positively de- ned that he had ever been at Hitch cocks house when little girls were there. His counsel claimed that the publlca- ton had been made for the purpose of iniuring politically Lieut.. Gov. Suuyve- sant Chanler, a brother of the complain ant against MT. Hearst.
 This was denied by MT Hearst's at torneys, who made the counter claim in court that Mir Chambers proceedings against MT. Hearst was made in the hope of hurting the chances of tne Independ- ence league ticket in the last county election.
 Before holding Mr. Hearst for the action of the grand jury. Justice Wyatt first overruled a motion to dismiss the com plaint against MT. Hearst on the ground tliat his proprietorship of the Journal had not been proved nor had the libelous character of the publication been shown, The grand jury, it is said, has already undertaken an investigation of the charge against MT. Hearst and a score or more of witnesses have been summoned.

 The newspaper men at the White House rendered their services to provide means for disseminating anything the President might be willing to intimate on the address of Justice Brewer, of the supreme court, but it was made known that no attention whatever would be paid to 1t. The fact that Gov error Hughes Of New York was at the same dinner causes supporters of the President to couple the speech of the justice with that of the governor the latter has followed very much the same line in some of his recent speeches. The government has decided to under take the Improvement by hire of la bor and purchase of material for the work at Fort Morgan Ala. It has been found that no contractor wants to biI on the work owing to the fact that the post is a long way from the usual line of travel requiring costly lighterage, and the difficulty of obtaining labor. New buildings arc 10 be erected at Fort Morgan which will cost the government twice as much as at any other post.

OVATION BY THE DELEGATES
Long Debate Occurs Over Jurisdic- tional Questions and Matters Are Referred To Committees-Hard
 Fight By Brewery Workers.

Norfolk, Va, November 21.--At the opening of today's session of the American Federation of Labor, Presi- dent Gompers, with Vice President O'Connell in the chair, arose to a ques- tion of personal privilege to reply to the denial sent out from New York last night by Broughton Brandenburg
 who, declaring that he was the man referred to by President Gompers in the latter's charges of attempt to bribe Gompers, denied that he made any such attempt to bribe and also that he had any connection with the National Asso- citation of Manufacturers.
 President Gompers said in part: q want to call your attention to the fact that if Brandenburg desired only to consult me about publication, why was it necessary for him to so persist entity urge me to see him in private? :? Why was it necessary for him to as- sume a false name? Why so much secrecy? Why was it necessary for him in his letter to me urging that l come at once to New York, to use the language he did saying it was neces- sary for me to come at once as matters should there have been such a criti- ical crisis between two men who had only passing acquaintance, if only a publication was involved? If there was no attempt to bribe, on what other basis did he hope that I was going to abandon my life's work?

TARIFF CASE ARGUED.
Question of Duty Upon Hair Cloth Is
 At Issue.

New Orleans, November 21.--A tariff
 case directly affecting the cotton seed oil business of the south came up for argu- 1, ment today in the United States circuit court here. The point to be decided is
 whether the imported hair cloth which is extensively used for straining cotton seed oil shall be dutiable as a manufactured
 product of wool or as hair pressed cloth. Oberle & Henry, brokers, who brought the suit against the United States government, contend that the duty should be 30 cents
 per square yard, which is the hair pressed
 cloth tariff. The duty has been assessed at the higher rate charged on woolen
 manufactures. The case has already been
 decided unfayorably to the lower rate by the United States board of appraisers
 in New York. secretary might find ample justification
 for criticism in Congress of the fact ance.
 The matter of allotments is proving Q somewhat delicate one and care is being taken to avoid any weIl-found- ed charges of favoritism. It IS felt
 at the treasury, however. that no just criticism will lie against the action of the secretary if allotments are base( chiefly upon definite and binding X surances by national banks that Xil

 A great ovation to MT. Gompers fol- lowed.

 Mrs. Bradley also told of Browns pur- chase of the revolver he gave her. She repeated that he had told her to use 1t for protectjon agalnst Mrs Brown. adding that his wife was very injudicious per- son. and that h might be needed. Mrs. Bradley said however. that she had no fear of Mrs. Brown and did not carry the revolver on her account.
