Gibboney, a reformer and leader in
the battles against that party, almost
captured the republican nomination

defeated by about 5000 votes in a
total vote Of more than 100000 He
carried many Of the republican
strongholds. The successful candi-

fight was not SO much against Rotan
as it was against the republican Or

refusing to use its power to prevent
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit com
Dany from increase street car fares.
Gibboney captured the democratic
nomination, having been placed on the

PUBLICAN NEWSPAPERS.

Washington, June G.-Protesting
against the action of the senate
finance committee in deciding to rec
ommend an increase Of rates on pulp
and paper as fixed by the house bill,
without giving the publishers of the
country hearing, or accepting as evil
dence certain detailed cost reports
from American mills, John Norris,
speaking for the press of the United
States as chairman of the committee
on papers Of the American newspaper
publishers association, has written q
letter to Senator Aldrich formally re
newing his application for a hearing
Mr.. Norris points out that the house
committee devoted ten months 10 an
inquiry into the paper industry. and
that the committees investigation re-
yealed the fact that American mills
can make paper cheaper than Cana
dian mills. The Norris communica-
ton concludes with the admonition
that the republican party pledged it
se,f TO fix the duties so as to repre-
sent he difference between the cost
Of foreign and domestic production.

bar Of iron and felled Murphy, but he
was quickly on his feet again and
wounded another man.
On the street floor he was given an
other heavy blow on the head ana

Two policemen came in to assist the
workmen and Murphy was given a
fearful beating before he was finally
overpowered and taken to the police
station.

ATTORNEY GENERAL EXPLAINS.
Why Action Has Not Been Started
Against Commissioner Fricke.


Madison, June Z.
The action Of the legislature III
passing resolutions tnstructing the at.
torney general TO bring suits against
insurance commissioners and the
general misunderstanding Of the facts
relating to the subject, prompted an
inquiry regarding the matter. AT
tOrney General Frank l.. Gilbert was
asked to make a statement in ex-
PLANTATION of the failure to commence
prosecutions against Former Commits
sioner w. A Fricke. In reply MI
Gilbert said:
The reason a suit has not been in
stiJuted against Mr. FrIcke up to the
present is that the statute Of Iimita-
tons had already run before January
H. 1909, or else had not begun to run
until his return to the state in the
year 1908. In the latter event the
state has ten years left in which to
begin a suit against him In the for
mer event the statute had run before
the matter was called to my atten-
ton. This department has been
awaiting the report and action of the
Legislature, but did start action
against Mr.. Giljohann because in his
case the statute was cutting off days
.Of his term Of office"

Mr.. Bacon declared that this was

East St. Louis, H., June &C. NJ.
Zeller, mechanic, yesterday made a
successful inaugural fight in a new
dirigible balloon invented by W. J.
Smith of this city, but lost control of
the gas bag after landing. The big
cylinder shot into the sky and at dark
was a mere speck, travelling at a ire
mendOus height.
The ascent was made from Edge
ment, Illinois. ZeIler guided the
craft nine miles toward BelleviIIe and
then returned in q zig gag course.
AS he descended the steering appara-
tus fouled a chimney and was broken,
but Zeller brought the airship to the
earth without mishap. Afterwards
the gas bag broke loose and foated
away.
