PROGRESSIVE REPUBLICANS SWEEP DIRECT PRIMARY STATES t
 LAFOLLETTE CARRIES WISCONSIN BY GREAT PLURALT1
GREAT BRITAIN WINS
 FROM UNITED STATES
 IN FISHERIES DISPUTE

The main result is that Great Britain will have the authority to regulate fishing off the New F'o11nd1and coast It is provided that the United States must be given two months notice of new regulations.
 The points at issue related to the question whether the New Foundland government could impose regulations upon the fishermen without consulting the United States, since citizens of the United States enjoyed the liberty or fishing in the waters.
 The fifth question, the most import ant, involved the issue: From where must be measured the three miles of any of the coasts, bays, creeks, or harbOrs referred to in Article l., of the treaty of 1918?
 The court upheld the British con- tention that the limit should be meas ured from an imaginary line connecting the headlands.
 Question one, the other question de- cided in Eng1and's favor, concerned regulations not in contravention of United States treaty rights of ISIS The disputed New F'ound1and regula= tions were referred to an expert com missioner to be appointed by the Hague tribunal. Future regulations must be submitted to a permanent United States shall have the power to protest.
 In the second question, the United States will be allowed to employ alien is not affected. In the settlement of the third question the United States. it was decreed,, must comply with all regulations regarding reporting to the English customs officials. Where ever possible the court suggests that all American vessels bear distinctive marks. Shelter must be given to dis dressed United States fishermen but they are compelled to report after AS hours. according to the decision on question four By the award in quest 74 States f9 entitled to fish off the specified New F'oundland coasts. The seventh question, the fifth decided in favor of the United States, gives to fishing vessels commercial rights, provided they are not exercised concurrently on the same voyage.
 The awards of the court were all unanimous except on question five where the Argentine Representative agreed with the United States.

YOU GAN GO TO N. Y. IN AUTO WITHOUT
 SPECIAL LICENSE.
Old Conditions Are Again Re stored in Empire State Atty. General Has Further Mod flied His Opinion and All
 is Serene

The automobile Club of Bridgeport in It's effort to secure authentic in formation regarding the operation of the New York automobile law as af- fecting Connecticut motorists wrote both Secretary of State Koenig of New York state and the American Auto mobile association at 437 Fifth avenue, N. Y.
 Letters were received from both the secretary of state and the automobile association last Saturday detailing at great length the means taken to en- force the New York law based on the attorney generals first opinion that Connecticut motorists, and those from many other states, would have to take out New York licenses. Then the at tOrney general issued a different op1n- ion whereby such licenses are not re- Quired.
 The final word from the secretary of state and the automobile association on this subject to F. w. -Bo1ande of the Bridgeport club follows: 70 course you are now fully aware that the Attorney General at Albany has modified his previously rendered decision in reference to the Callan automobile law to the extent of per- hitting reciprocity even in limited form.
 Just preceding quite effective ''kick' from the hotel men, including the Lieut.: Governor of Massa chusetts; most vigorous letter of protest had been filed by President Frank C.. Webb, of the New York State Associ- ation, supplemented by some effort on the part of Chairman Quay1e, of the State association legislative commit tee
 Here's hoping that the situation all around is now all o. k., though can not help but believe that it would be a most excellent plan for every State association to secure unlimited recipro- city for it's own State, from those States which will respond in like quantity.

SPEEDING JOY RIDERS RUN DOWN AND KILL
 MICHAEL c. HOURICAN

Looming up unexpectedly out of the darkness, an automobile, the oc- cupants of which are unknown, tossed Michael c. Hourigan, be1ated pe- destrfan of Newtown, headlong into a ditch, breaking his neck, on the main road between Newtown and Sandy Hook just before midnight last night
 The machine sped ayay6 through the night, leaving clue to it's iden- tity and not even stopping to ascer- tain the condition of the victim The only witness to the fatality so far as has been learned up to press hour, was Hourigan's cornrade, James Shee- han, who is not able to describe the accident owing to the fact that when Hourigan was struck he was several paceS away from him. In fact, so quickly and quietly did the victim meet his death that it was only after Sheehan had missed Hourigan from the road that he discovered the dead body at the roadside.
 Believing Hourigan merely 1ncon- to Newtown street and aroused sev- eral friends, who hastened to the scene with lanterns. When they reached the man it was found that town authorities were promptly noti- fled of the violent death and an ef- fort was made to ascertain the iden- tity of the motorists, but thus far 1t has proved unavai1ing.
 Hourigan and Sheehan had Been visiting in Sandy Hook up to about II partially cleared up they started on their long dark walk back to New town. They trudged through the darkness, Sheehan taking the lead, and just as they reached the home Of Owen Burns, -Sheehan heard the sound of an automobile.

 SWEEPS ALL
 WISCONSIN

Milwaukee. Sept 7.-When Wiscon- sin evToke today it found itself swept by the wave of Republican insurgen- cy. Latest returns from the state wide primaries yesterday indicate United States Senator LaFollette's re- nomination by a vote of at least four Cook, the t'Standpatter. LaFo11ette carried nearly every county. It will be a LaFonettee platform convention and LaF'ollettee state legislature. Flight ting Bob's'' comment was: Tt shows the people are awake to their interests, determined to restore rep repFe7 T e victory Is nothing personal It is the command of the people that they choose to relieve themselves and will not longer suffer themselves to be dominated by special tnterests.''
 During the past campaign Senator IaFollette has been too i'll to carry of the noted ''progressives'' ito his aid. All unaided by other than per sonaI friends they stumped the state in his interests; gdids aTaneis E. MeG4Ho fhe gubernatoria1 nomination, carried the state according to the latest esti- mates by ma1ority of 20, o0o votes batter" Captain William Mitchell Lewis, candidate on the county option issue, finished third. The McGovern principles and attacked local option. ! Thomas Morris, progressive, gained the nomination for lieutenant gover- norsE1ip over George B. Hudnutt, ''standFatter.'
 James A. Crear, Andrew H. Dahl, pro9ressives, were nominated secre- tary of state and state treasurer, re- epective7y.
 Frank T. Tucker, the progressive candidate for attorney general, who committed suicide at Oshkosh a few days before the primaries, was -nomf- mated for that office, according to latest returns. The dead mans place will be filled by the state central com mittee which will be controlled by the progressiveS.
 Latest returns from the eleven Con- gressional districts of the state indi- cate the progressive wave overwhelrn- ed the standpatters.

complete control of New Hampshire was made certain today when belated returns from yesterdays election showed that Senator Robert F. Bass, insurgent, had been elected by near Iy 2 to 1 as Republican nominee for the eovernorship over Colonel Bertram Ellis of Keene, at the first general primary election in the states his tory. Returns from nearly two thirds of the 290 election districts in the state give Bass the majority by almost 5000 votes. If this average is maintained throughout the state it will mean that the regulars are rout- . ed. horse, foot and dragons. The vote so far returned is: Bass 12, 4s6; Ellis 6, 787; Carr, Democrat tunoppos- edD 5,399
 The only glinmer of satisfaction today for the old guard is that in the first Congressional district Cyrus A. Subway, regular, was re-norninat- ed by the Republicans by a large ma jority against the opposition of Sher- man B. Burroughs, progressive, or Manchester.
 Commenting on the state primaries, Senator Chandler said today: '"The political wrongs done in New Hanp- shire by the Republican corporation oligarchy have been rebuked by the Republican reformers of 1909 and the progressive movement begun in the nat-on in 1906 by Theodore Roosevelt and in New Hampshire under the leadership of Winston Churchill has been approved by the New aamp- 4F :, indispensable agency of a model di- rect primary system.
 "I congratulate Republican insur- gents everywhere, especially. Senators LaFolIette Deliver, Cummings, Bris- tow, Crapp and Beveridge. They have told the truth without fear and fought for the right and have saved the Republican party from death by reason of corporation oligarchy rule. This IS the lesson of New Hampshire scientifically and descriptively stat ed.''

he took a statement from sheehan on the strength of which he reported the death to Coroner Wilson as one de- manding an investigation Coroner Wilson arranged today to visit the scene of the fatality tomorrow and to hear the statement of Sheehan
 It is feared that the identity of the joy riders who killed Hourigan will never be known. Sheehan believes they displayed no rear light, for he glanced at the ear as it passed, gath cred the impression there were sew eraI passengers, but failed to notice the license number. He paid no special attention to the car, however, not realizing that it had just given given his comrade fatal toss aside
 It is believed that Hourigan's neck was broken as he fell headfrst in the ditch when he was tossed aside by the front of the machine.
 Hourigan wa 38 years old, single, the son of the late Martin Hourigan, and a broth er4n-1aw of former State Senator Michael Hou1ihan. He was a member of St. Itose's R. c. church.
 As nearly as Sheehan can judge the machine was of the runabout type. not very large, but he believes it was filled to it's capacity.

 Burlington, Vt, Sept. That in
 urgency is as active force as ever An rock-ribbed Republican Vermont is generally conceded to be in evidence throughout the state today when with the returns from two counties and eight small towns missing, the plurality of Dr. John A. Mead, Re tpublican. for governor. over Charles ID. Watson, Democrat, is estimated at kabout 16,oo0 These figures. even the Republicans admit, approach the danger mark In the last state election the Republican plurality was 29,646.
 Bad weather throughout the state on Mead, the Republicans say, ac- count in part for the slump in the party vote, but many observers point years the Republican plurality fell be- low 10000, Democratic victories fol lowed.
 While full figures are as yet un- available, it is certain that the Demo orats in yesterdays voting made gains in both branches of the legislature but United States Senator Carroll H. Sage will probably be reelected. Both Poster and Frank P1umley, were re- turned but it will be some days be- fore the size of their victory is known.
 didate for governor, not only carried his home city of St. Albans by a wide margin, reversing the Republican vic
 tory of two years ago, but he also Franklin County which has always been strongly Republican. A few years ago Franklin County went Re- publican by 1,945. this year by 35.

wAsHINGToN's VIEW OF
 LA FOLLETTE'S VICTORY

Washington, Sept News of La Follette's victory in Wisconsin, insur- gent success in New Hampshire and the gain of the progressives in Michi- gan was received in the camp of the regular Republicans here today with pened. Standpat organization men had centered their forces against La Toilette, the most radical of all insur- gents.
 Primary results to date throughout the country are taken here to fore shadow one of the livelfest sessions of Congress with progressive measures in the foreground, the resumption of the fight for physical valuation of rail- roads, the prominence of effective con- servation legislation and hard Hast days" for such retiring veterans of the regular ranks as Senators Aldrich and Hale.
 President Taft had withheld from LaFollette the patronage usually given a Senator of the Presidents party He was not eYen allowed to name his share of the census enunlerators.
 LaFollette was confronted by prob ably the hardest fight of his career His endorsement by the Republicans of Wisconsin, it is said here will en- courage him to put on more steam in the cause of reform.
 Insurg gents feel confident LaFo1Iette' victory will strengthen their cause throughout the country. They vel come it as a sign that the progressives possess a large portion of the voters of the country.
 Valuation of railroad property and revision of the tariff downward will be two important features of LaFoI- 1ette's program. He is among those who elieve that the Interstate Com nerce Commission cannot decide what is fair rate, unless it knows the value of the railroads property and also that a valuation is necessary to the intelligent regulation of the issue of bonds and stocks by railroad com panieS.
