In 1906 Talbot secured judgment of
$500 In the District Supreme Court
against Thomas II. Pickford and John H.

the case through the United States Su-

settlement hung fire. A few days later
Attorneys Maddox & Galley, representing
Mr.. Pickford, advised against settlement
on the plea Of newly discovered evidence.
This evidence proved to be an affidavit
of Judge Henderson of Montgomery coun-
ty embracing an alleged conversation with
Talbot, in which the latter assigned his
reason for certain court proceedings in
Maryland on which the original libel suit
was based. Pickford's counsel then Sc

The hearing on the merits of the in

an order perpetually enjoining the COL
lection Of the judgment and interest, now
amounting to $4,000.
Mr.. Talbot has noted an appeal to the
Court of Appeals, and should that tri-
bunals decision be adverse will probably
be placed in the unique position of going
to the United States Supreme Court for
an order enforcing the collection Of a
judgment sustained by that tribunal.

The democratic caucus will probably
follow later in the week. There Is keen
rivalry among the democrats for place
on the committee, and they expect to
have a lively meeting.
Demand for, Fair Men.
Representative Norris, author of the
resolution which overthrow the old rules
committee, said today:
I'VE do not Insist upon representation.
All we want is q fair committee OF fair
men. I have no doubt that the insurgents
will enter the republican caucus unless
something is done by the regulars to
cause trouble. 1t all depends on the at
titude of the other fellows. If they want
to accept the opportunity they now have
to go ahead. everything will be all right.
What will happen cannot be foretold and
we must await Developments"
Mr.. Norris said there was no meeting
of the insurgents in sight, although they
were i'm a position to get together at
moments notice.
The democratic position, apparently,
was one of entire satisfaction with the
situation. The democrats contemplated
no violent hostiiities. for the present It
least.

Many of the regulars were not disposed
to concede the expediency of insurgent
representation. contending that it would
tend to complicate the situation by tieing
the vote at times.
