SURPRISED By HUGHES.
''I'he Indianapolis Nescs" Cites Coz
ernor's Popularity.
rBy Telegraph to The Tribunal

Indianapolis. Sept 23--In an editorial Tonight
"The indianapolis News which is supporting
Vice President Fairbanks for the Presidency. re-
fers to the fact that Governor Hughes Of New
York has proved a wonderfully popular man IN
the straw vote taken by "The Chicago Tribune"
on Presidential candidates.
The News points out the fact that one year
ago Governor Hughes was hardly known outside
of New York State and says that his popularity
as Presidential preference though he is not an
avowed candidate. is something wonderful
THE News then refers to the fact that Gov
ernor Hughes is eschewing politics and is per-
forming his duty as Governor and expresses the
opinion that he will prove a strong factor when
the selection of the Republican nominee for the
Presidency comes to be made.

With regard to the effect of storms or light

Mr. Marconi said that the Cape Cod station

change of cards between the two
organizations. This matter has
been before the annual conycn-

several years, and not until the last
annual convention was the matter
given any support Then it was
that the members in convention
authorized their head officials to
enter into negotiations for an in
terchangc of cards. This finally
disposed of the question, and from
now on any member of either of

himself outside the jurisdiction of
his particular body, may affiliate

given other members.

BLOOD HOUNDS
TREE THE BELL
Trail Persons Who Cut National
Telephone Wire to Bell Com
pany's Tool Chest.

Since the lineman of Wheeling
have been on strike against the un-
fair conditions forced upon them
by the Bell and National Tele-
phone Companies the latter have
secured injunctions against the
men and deputy marshalls have
been guarding the strike breakers
and "private detectives" have
been endeavoring to trump up
some kind ola charge against the
union men. One day last week a
cable of the National Telephone
Company was cut and the Cry went
up that the strikers were re-
sponsible
Blood hounds were secured from
Moundsville and placed on the
trail at the scene of the depreda-
ton and at once proceeded to the
Bell Telephone building and tried
to get into a tool chest. They
were then taken back to the start
ing point and twice more the same
result followed.
The striking lineman are .jubi-
liant. They take the action of the
dogs as a vindication. The dogs
were started in daylight, instead
of at night, the idea being probably
to make the affair as spectacular
as possible, in the hope that they
would gallop toward the home of
some employee. Since they went
direct to the Bell building, it is
out of the question to point the
finger of guilt to Il striking line
men and equally ridiculous to i'm
agine that a '!sympathizer'' did it.
The Bell building is not the loaf
ing place of either strikers OF
sympathiZers.
1t is not announced whether or
not the bloOdhounds will be used
to trace down any more cuttings.
The strikers hope they will.
eff they would only get out the
bloodhoundS' said one of the
strikers "every time Il wire is cut,
the evidence would be of such Il
nature as to prevent the issuance
of any injunction against us"
