ILLINOIS SENATORIAL FIGHT
Legislature Will Ballot in Separate
Sessions Tuesday.
STRONG OPPOSITION TO HOPKINS
shurtleR Republicans and Democrats
Would Elect Governor Deneen,
but He Says He VIII
Not Accept 1t.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Jan. 1.-THE real
fight for the election of United States sena-
tor from Illinois will begin Tuesday, when
both houses of the legislature will take bal
lots on candidate. If nobody is elected
the house will meet in a joint senatorial
session Wednesday. In this event. a ma
jority of both houses, or ten votes is re-
quired for election.
The friends of Senator Albert J. Hopkins
are working vaiiantly in his behalf. Despite
the uphill nature Of the contest, they ex-
press the utmost confidence that their man
will land the place. Leaders in the legis-
lature say, however, that Senator Hopkins
certainly will not receive a majority in the
house Tuesday and that his chances will
be even less in the joint caucus.
Those in the house opposing Hopkins be-
long to both the camps OF Speaker Shurtleff
and Governor Deneen. The senate may pos
sibly vote in his favor, but not the house,
say the leaders. One point favorable to
the Hopkins candidacy is that the opposi-
tion while strenuous has failed to agree
on any candidate for the place. This may
give Hopkins a chance and his friends are
counting on being able to get enough sup
porters OF the various candidates into line
to give him the place.
The house likely will be willing to give
the speaker the senatorship but the senate
would hardly agree. Governor Deneen
probably could have the place II he would
take 1t, the Shurtleff combination of repub-
licans and democrats being credited with
a desire to make him senator as to re-
move him from the governorship. The gov
ernor has said. however. that under no
circumstances would he accept the place.
He insists on serving out his term as gov
ernor despite the wishes of his foes He
will be inaugurated tomorrow at noon.
Congressman Foss, who was defeated by
Hopkins in the primary. sees a chance to
win and he is lining up his forces to that
end. Others mentioned and all willing are
| Congressman william B. Mckinley Con-
gresham William Lorimer, former Gov
ernor Richard Yates, Lieutenant Governor
l.. Y. Sherman and Frank o. Lowden.
| On the strength of his having won the
| primary advisory vote for senator, friends
of Senator Hopkins declare that he is the
| logical candidate and should be reelected
to succeed himself. Upon this they base
their assertion that joint session for the
/ first ballot is unnecessary. They assert
| they can see no other outcome than that
Mr. Hopkins will get a majority In each
house Tuesday.

Co0PERS TO BE ARRAIGNED
Men Charged with Numbering senator
Cnrmack to BE Placed on Trial
Wednesday.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. T.-Charged
with numbering former Senator Edward
Carmack, as the result of a newspaper at
tack Colonel Duncan b. Cooper, his son,
Robin and former Sheriff John d. Sharpe
will be brought to trial Wednesday. Law
yers for the state and defense are busy
concluding the preparations for the trial,
which will attract the attention of the en-
tire country, because of the high posi-
toin of all tho parties concerned.
Colonel Cooper has been prominent In
state and national politics for years. He
was a friend of Mckinley, of Cleveland
and of Roosevelt. Years ago he brought
Carmack to Nashville an editorial writer
on the American, which Cooper then owned
But those who knew them say that the
men were never friendly, and later, Car
mack became connected with rival pub
!ication. In politics they belonged to rival
factions. However, there were no serious
differences between the men until the issue
of statewide prohibition came up. Car
mack advocated 1t and Governor Patterson
opposed 1t. The Patterson forces rallied to
defeat this plank. Carmack as editor Of
the Tennesseean, denounced these efforts
and criticized Colonel Cooper editorialy.
The latter, who managed Patterson's CAM
paign, sent word to Carmack that he would
kill the editor IL the attacks continued.
Carmack told his friends that If he COM
piled with Coopers demands he would be
branded as a coward all over the state,
consequently he would refuse. The next
editorial Carmack wrote resulted in his
death. The Cooper forces declare they will
make out clear case of self defense. The
| state, on the other hand. claims that 1t
will prove that the killing was the result
of conspiracy to assassinate.

PLAINTIFF IN LIBEL SUIT
Prosecution of New York World in
Name of Some Individual.
USUAL FORM IN CRIMINAL CASES
Action is Attracting Wide Attention
Among Lawyers in Washington
Identity of omplainant
As Withheld.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE latest
and most interesting suggestion regard
ing yesterdays sensational developments
involving the service of subpoenas upon
newspaper men in this city and elsewhere
is that an individual and not the United
States government is the real plaintiff
in the case. 1t is true that the subpoenas
served here read "The United States
against The Press Publishing company"
But If the proposed action is criminal.
is generally assumed to be the case,
that would be the form of a subpoena,
even where an individual is the COM
plainant, according to the practice in the
District of Columbia
The identity of this individual, or In
dividuals, is purely a matter of specula-
tion, for the public will have to await
the issue Of the promised statement OF
Attorney General Bonaparte, in the
course of a day or two, to get an accu-
rate understanding of this remarkable
case. Possibly President Roosevelt him
self IS the complainant; or II may be that
the action was begun by William Nelson
Cromwell, or by Douglas Robinson or any
of the persons named in the original
mentions A significant fact is that Mr..
Cromwell was in Washington when the
action was taken yesterday Of serving the
subpoenas.
Washington lawyers are discussing the
case with interest and already sharp
differences of opinion appear as to the
right Of the United States government
to prosecute a criminal libel proceeding
against either an individual or a news
paper, which is, after all, the bone of
contention. for there can be no question
Of the right of an individual to bring
such an action. 1t is pointed out that
the supreme court is on record as deny
ing the power of United States circuit
court to take Jurisdiction in a criminal
libel case.
The officials here remain mute and
there was no developments in the case
today to be learned. The district attor-
ney remains snowbound in his country
home. inaccessible to reporters and cut
off from the telephone. the attorney gem
eral is at home in Baltimore and at the
White House there was a refusal to dis
cuss the matter.

WATER BOARD IN COURT
Hearing Today on Temporary Re-
Gtraining Order-Webster Ready
TO Fight Some More.

Today is the date set for the hearing in
federal court OF the temporary restraining
order issued just before the first of the
year preventing the Omaha Water board
from putting into effect the new rates for
water furnished by the Omaha Water COM
pany to Omaha consumers.
The new rates were adopted October "a,

office for the purpose OF giving customers
information regarding the new rates, as the
board at first set out 10 do.

prepared to fight the case in court to-
day to the bitter end" The questions
which are expected to come up In today's

MINE WORKERS WILL MEET
Contest Between Lewis and Anti
Lewis Factions to BE Feature
of Convention.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan 1.-THE twen-
tieth annual convention of the United
Mine Workers of America will meet here
next Tuesday. Between 1900 and 1,400
delegates are expected.
While the subject of wage contracts
will not demand much attention, it is GER
tain that the contests between the sup
porters of President Lewis administra-
tion and it's opponents, which has been
going on for several months, will be the
main thing. The leader of the anti
Lewis faction is John Walker president
of the illinois miners, who was Lewis
opponent in the national presidency. The
balloting is to be announced in the course
of the convention.
The award of the strike committee ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt to settle
the anth racite miners strike will expire
on April 1 next and this convention will
have to propose plan for a new agree
ment in the anthracite district The
Lewis faction will attempt 1t is said.
to place the convention on record as es-
tablishing the rulings of the national
board as supreme and joint contracts as
inviolable. Only in this way, they as
sert, will 1T be possible for the organ
ization to be of practical value in max
ing contracts with the operators.
The anti-Lewis faction publicly charges
that the administration has failed to win
strikes in Alabama, Pennsylvania, In
diana and the southwest; that 1t has
estranged important district organiza-
tions and that IL has lost members. To
this answer is made that there has not
been an actual decrease in the member
ship. but because of industrial depres-
sion few thousand members, out of
work. were not reported as paying their
dues last December
The executive board will meet tomorrow
to consider the report of the committee
on the reinstatement of Patrick Dolan.

MOTORCYCLE HISTORY
TO BE MADE SUNDAY
LINGENFELDER AND DE ROSTER
SIGN CONTRACTS
Spill and Will Give the Daring
Frenchman the Run of
His Life

Escaping from frightful death by
the narrowest of narrow margins at
the Coliseum motorcycle track last
Sunday, Eddie Lingenfelder, nothing
deferred, has signeSl a new contract
to meet Jake De Roster, his desperate
rival, in another match race next sun
day, and 1t is expected that fully twice
the number who witnessed his spec
tacular flight a week ago will go out
to the fast saucer next Sunday in hopes
of seeing another spectacle equally as
thrilling and exciting.
Lingenfelder was badly shaken up
by his frightful pounding resulting
from two separate accidents, but he
has been out on the track on several
occasions the past week and Is appar-
emily Indifferent to the fact that he
has passed through experiences which
one man out of thousand rarely es-
capes from. His new Chain-driVen n.
S. u. racing machine Is here and 1t Is
declared that was all but ruined last
Sunday when machine and dCiVer were
hurled into confusing mass while ne
gotiating the saucer at "A terrific speed
in a tryout. badly wrenching and bend
ing the machine.
De Roster claims that he lost to
Llngenfelder, not because of Llngen-
fclder's greater speed, but because of
an unfortunate defect to his machine
when he and the Alhambra lad were
riding neck and neck near the close
Of the first heat The Frenchman says
that he knows Lingcnfelder Is a dan
gerous rival, but says that he has not
the slightest doubt that he will show
his ability to retain his championship
honors in next Sundays match. 1t Is
certain, however, to be the most des-
perately fought contest ever witnessed
on any motorcycle track in the world.
Bake and Graves, the two local
amateur daredevils, are also matched
for a second contest next Sunday afz
ternoon, and it Is not overstating tie
facts to say that this contest is quite
apt to prove fully as exciting and as
attractive to as many speed fans as
the match between their professional
brother riders. Neither Bake nor
Graves has ever won a decisive, or
rather a lasting. victory over each
other and it has always been a much
mooted question as to who was really
the best. Balke's new Merkel machine
is proving wonder I'm speed possi- !
bilities and is pronounced to be fully |
as fast as Graves consistent Indian, |
on which the latter has won so many /
track battles If this proves to be the /
actual fact i'm next Sundays races. /
then the spectators are assured of a /
speed exhibition that will measure up
to their fullest demands for excite
ment and thrills.
