Frank Fehringer, the elf-confesseG
Obion county, Tenn, night-rider, ir
iail in Chattanooga, for attempting tC
kill his wife, tried to commit suicide
last Friday by drinking two ounces OF
tincture of iodine. Fehringer attempt
ed suicide while in Jail at Dresden
Weakley county, where he was held as
a witness before he married the woman
he more recently attempted TO kill
and this is his second attempt at sui
eide since coming to Chattanooga
where he has lived since his release
from iail in Dresden. he was one OF
the states main witnesses in the cele-
brated night-rider cases tried in Oblon
county, which resulted in the passing
of death sentences on two and life i'm
prisonment on six men charged with
the murder of Capt. Quenton Rankin at
Reel Foot Lake. Fehringer has told

James Gallagher who shot Mayor
GaynOr in HobOken last August, has
not yet been indicted by the grand
jury. He is in Jail in Jersey City and
although the mayor has been perform
ing the duties of his office for several
weeks Gallagher is still detained Ito
await the results of the injuries" which
he inflicted. The Jersey City prosecu-
tors declare that they would be glad
to get Gallagher's case before the
grand jury and move it to speedy
trial. but efforts to procure from the
physicians a written statement to the
effect that the mayor is out of danger
and strong enough to stand the ordeal
of appearing at the trial have been
in vain. A statement from the prose-
cutting attorney says: while Mayor
Gaynor may be we'll and sound and
able to attend daily to his official du-
ties, it seems strange that the doctors
attending him won't send to me a
written report saying just what the
mayors condition is. Until such re-
port is forthcoming, we shall not pre-
sent the case to the grand jury"
-. Eugene y. Foss, governor-elect of
Massachusetts,. issued a statement last
Saturday night in which he demanded
that Henri Cabot Lodge withdraw
from the fight for reelection. In the
event of a refusal Mr.. Foss declared
he would go into every section of the
commonwealth to defeat the senator.
Mr. FosS's statement in part. is as fol-
lows: In the name of the majority
of the sovereign people of the COM
monwealth of Massachusetts,, de-
mand that Henry Cabot Lodge sur
render his. seat in the United States
senate by withdrawing from his con-
test for reelection. His election TO
the senate would be a reputation OF
the great victory of the people at the
last election. He was on trial as
much if not more than Governor
Draper, and if he had been the can
didate my majority would have been
double what it was. The issues on
which the fight was r. de, on which
l was elected, were hons tariff re-
vision downward. lower duties on the
necessaries of life, free raw materials,
an untaXed food supply, reciprocity
with Canada and more democracy in
know where Senator Lodge stands on
these issues and where he has stood
all these years. To re-elect him would
be a step backward and Massachu-
SettS has never learned to walk back
ward. l shall never sign his creden-
tials except at the end of a campaign
which will make the last one look
like an afternoon tea party. He must
surrender or fight. He must defend
his position before the people. The
people of Massachusetts will not per-
NIT him longer to mop up the legis-
lature. 1 am ready and if he does
not retire will be on the stump in
every section of the state and we will
find out where the people stand. Sen
ator Lodge is not in touch with the
new order of things, with the pro-
gressive spirit of the times. He does
not represent the people, the men and
women in the ordinary walks of life.
