INDEPENDENT AuTolsTs WIN
Decree UNFOLDING seiden Patent Re.
on Murder Charge.

New York, Jan. 1O.-The so-called
Independent automobile manufacturers
won a sweeping victory in the United
States circuit court of appeals in a
reversal of the decree OF Judge Hough
in the circuit court, where in the Sci
den patent was upheld.
The higher courts ruling declares
that the defendants neither legally
nor morally owed anything to the pat
entee and holds that the improved OF
to engine, used by the defendants in
motor vehicle construction, is the
equivalent of the Selden engine, but
that it's use is not an Infringement Of
the Selden patent.
Accordingly, Judge Hough's injunc-
lions against the Ford Motor company,
Panhard and Levasseur and others, re-
straining them from using the Otto
engin on the ground OF infringement,
must be dismissed by the lower court.

Colt are epublicans.
The probable Democratic candidate
is Judge Arthur L. Brown, of the
United States circuit court. The leg
islature seems safely Republican, but
In case of deadlock it is thought
that the IS votes generally credited
to the Democratic candidate, may play
an important part.
Connecticut Senator Opposed.
Hartford. Jan. 9.-The Republican
caucus will be held on Tuesday to
nominate candidate for the seat in
the United States senate now filled by
senator Morgan G.. Buckley. In the
caucus Mr.. Bulkeley will find himself
opposed by ex-governor George P.
Mclean.
Senator Buckley and Mr.. Mclean
had been close friends and business
and political associates for years and
1t had been the general belief that
Mr. Mclean would be the successor
of Senator Buckley from personal
choice.
Montana Situation Uncetain.
Helena, Jan. 9.-With the initial
ballot for United States senator but
one day Off, the Democratic situation
is as uncertain as it was the day the
state convention declined to indorse
candidate sac
T. J. Walsh and w. G. Conrad con
stinue to be the leading Democratic
candidates.. Many believe that the
rivalry. between the leaders will pre-
clude the election Of either.
Much activity is being displayed by
the Republicans and an effort may be
made to re-elect United States Sena-
tor Carter.
Z The margin between the two parties
is small The Legislature consists Of
4S Republicans and 81 Democrats, but
there are only So Democrats present.
Representative Terrett, of Custer,
elected by close vote, is critically
i'll in California Contests are pend
ing which, if decided in favor of the
Republicans, would reduce the Demo-
cratic margin to one. Leaders of the
Democratic house say that if the Re-
publican senate throws out Democratic
members, the house will retaliate by
throwing out Republican members.
Judge Kenyon May Succeed Doliiver.
Des Moines, Jan. 9. Judge w. S.
Kenyon, candidate for United States

ing of the Standard Oil and Tobacco

although the majority ignores it, that
the confessed bribe-takers were shown
to have had in their possession, in
bills Of large denominations, unusual
ly large sums Of money soon after the
dates when they swore to having re-

INTERREGNUM FOR JUDGE WOLFE IN
 COMMON PLEAS

An odd situation obtains for. the moment over the matter of the re- appointment of Judge Wolfe of the Now Haven Common Pleas court. It appears from the records that the term of the judge expires on Jan. 31. His nomination was recently sent by Gov. Baldwin to the senate foY con firmation by the General Assembly.
 Although there is no opposition to the nomination of the judge and his confirmation can be said to be an as- sured fact, yet he will be out of office for a number of days and will be an eX-judge during that time This situation is brought about by the fact that a slight error was made, it is said, by one of the clerks of the legislature, who failed to perform a certain necessary act within the time limited for it's performance. With the technicalities surrounding the usual course which a nomination of judge has to take in the General Assembly. the matter will not be passed through both branches until few days in February have come and passed. In the interim, between the last day of this month and the time of the confirmation of the nomi- nation, Judge Wolfe will be without a seat on the bench.

Speaker Cannon's home district is almost as much in the limelight as
 Adams county. Ohio. where pretty confessed to having sold their votes. An investigatton is now in progress in versnillton county. Illinois. It is supported by both Democratic and Republican newspapers. Judge Kim brough. who ordered the investiga- ton. is a Democrat. and States At
 torney Lewis. who is doing the prob
 ing. Is Republican. "It is a matter of common knowledge" said the judge in charging the grand jury. "that one fourth of the voting population cast their ballots for the party or the can didates who will pay them for so do- ing And correspondent. W. H. Blodgett. of the Indianapolis News, who is on the ground. writes:
 The traffic in votes in Vermillion county has reached such proportions that no man can be nominated or elected without the use of money and the man who has the biggest wad is the man vSho generally wins. Illinois has no corrupt practices law and the election laws are so manipulated that sellers stand in dread of punish ment.
 It was but recently that Speaker Cannon gave a high tribute to the citizens of Vermilion county for their patriotism and honesty. As he is repr"ted to be very wealthy man. it may be that he Is one of the candi- dates with the big wads who generally win. and that the one-fourth of the voting population who. according to Judge Kimbrough sell their votes, have aided in returning Uncle Joe" to Congress. If such is the fact, his high tribute to the citizens of his dis trict must be interpreted as covert sarcasm.
