A Common Sense View,

Much has been said of late regard
ing who would be the logical man for
the republicans to nominate for
governor next year and judging from
the numerous conflicting views ex-
pressed it is doubtful if it will be pos
sible for the party to unite upon any
one man as the schism now existing
is too wide to be bridged. Therefore
it'appears to simmer down to the man
who can at least command a respec.
table number in his own party and at
the same time rally large number of
democrats to his standard Foley

Demand County Option Plank.
The officials of the anti-saloon
league have given notice that the
league will demand plank in the re-
publican state platform next year
giving full and strong endorsement
for county option. Unless this is done
the county optionists, who say they
will go into the convention next sum-
mer with at least a third of the dele
gates, will nominate separate state
ticket. The true slogan will be
sounded before long at monster

LONDON POSSE IN BATTLE
FIVE KILLED IN ATTEMPT TO
ARREST HIGHWAYMEN.
Robbers Commit Suicide After Des-
perate Pursuit by Police and
Mob in Automobiles.

LONDON, January 23.-Five persons
are dead and more than twenty others
are in hospitals at Walthamstow, a sub
urb of London, as the result of a sensa-
tional attempt made today by two Ital-
ians at highway robbery. The Italians
were run down and surrounded by posse
and finally committed suicide Three of
their victims. including a policeman and
young boy, lie dead. Two policemen
and three boys are among the wounded.
The Italians had been employed in a
rubber factory, but having been dis
charged they planned to revenge them
selves on their employers. They lay in
wait near the factory and seized bag
of money containing the weeks pay Of all
the hands. They then started on a mad
dash down the street The police were
summoned and started in pursuit in
motor car. AS they approached the Ital-
ians the robbers opened fire with auto
matte pistols on their pursuers. A num-
Der of men and boys on the street were
shot down before they could recover from
their surprise and get to cover. The
Italians kept ahead of the automobile
until they came up with a trolley car.

way to the front platform forced the
driver at the point of their revolvers, to
throw on full speed. The car went thun-
dering down the track with the police

near Tottenham Marshes. the Italians
made the motorman slow down and jump

BY this time the police had been joined
by several hundred laboring men. To-
gether the pursuers advanced upon the

ians were surrounded and hard pressed.
They saw their position was hopeless,
and after the exchange of few shots
they turned their weapons upon them
selves and committed suicide.

TWO YEARS FOR EvERD|NG
PHILADELPHIA LAWYER SEN
FENCED BY JUSTICE GOULD.
Sequel to Trial for Conspiracy in
Connection With Destroying
Patent Office Records.

Justice Gould today, in Criminal Court
No /. sentenced Henry E. Everding, a
patent lawyer Of Philadelphia. who was
recently convicted of conspiracy in con-
nection with the destruction of public
records in the United States patent of
flee. to the penitentiary for two years
Ned w. Barton, former assistant ex-
aminer in the patent Office. indicted
jointly with Everding and John A.
Heany, pleaded guilty, and was sem
fenced to the penitentiary for three
years at the beginning of the trial
John A. Heany. an inventor of York,
Pa, was acquitted of the charge.
In sentencing Everding, Justice Gould
stated that he was somewhat embarrassed
by his former sentence of Barton; that
if he had known. when sentence was pro-
nounced against Barton, the facts OF the
case shown by the evidence at the trial,
the sentence would have been different.
Everding's Advantage.
Justice Gould stated that it had been
represented to him that Barton was a
misguided public servant who had been
inveigled into doing improper acts by de-
signing and scheming persons.
After having been sentenced, the court
said that Barton went upon the witness
stand and testified that he was the lead
er in the wrongdoing and that every
thing done in furtherance of the conspir-
acv had originated in his mind.
EVerding the court continued. was
quick to take advantage of the criminal
misconduct of Barton in betraying his
public trust This fact evidently impress
ed the jury, the court stated. because
they accompanied their verdict with a
recommendation to mercy.
Taking into consideration the recommen-
dation to mercy and the good reputa ton
of the defendant before the commission
of the offense, Justice Gould remarked
that he thought the ends of justice would
be subserved by a sentence of two years
in the penitentary.
