Washing1on,D. c., April L. The ma
tional republican congressional com.
mittee has announced that the hearing
of the contest over the republican nom
inatioh in the first district of Tennessee
has been indefinitely postponed. The

first district.
The national committee did not noti
IfyCongressman Sells of its intention to

| first news he had that committee was
interested in the contest came in The
form of notice for him to appear be
fore the subcommittee on April s, and
offer proof of his claim TO the nOmina
tion.
| Since the announcement that the
committee would hear and decide the
contest on April s, it has been whisp
cred about in Washington, as well al
in the district, that the anti-Sells peo
pie had put one over on Congressman
Sells. However, the latest announce
from the committee, to the effect thai
the hearing been indefinitely postponed

thrice governor of Tennessee from 1887
to 1891 and 1897 to 1900, Senator Taylor
forged his way to the national house of
representatives from the same con-
gressional district that had previously
sent his father to congress and later
his brother Alfred Taylor, whom he
subsequently defeated for Governor.
Senator Taylor was Cleveland
democrat. He had served in the sem
ate since January, 1907, his principal
activity being in behalf of compre-
hensive system Of good roads and the
lake-to-the-gulf deep waterway project.
His last speech in the senate was
made last July in advocacy of con-
federate monument bill. His last ap-
pearance in the senate chamber was a
fortnight ago.
An operation for their removal was
urged, but he fatty refused TO submit
to the knife. Meantime the poison
was diffused in his system and he
finally acquiesced, but to the delay his
death is attributed. Last Thursday
two gallstones were removed and the
operation was regarded as successful,
but stomach complications developed,
causing extreme weakness to which
he finally snccumbed.
"Bob" Taylor was of the stock that
made Tennessee. His father was OF
pioneer descent and the laws of here
dity cut no inconsiderable figure in the
making of men. His parents were
Nathaniel G. Taylor, who represented
the First Tennessee district in congress,
and Emily Taylor, whose father was
Landon G. Haynes, Confederate
senator from Tennessee, and one of the
most eloquent men the nation has pro-
duced. "Bob" was born in 1S50in Hap

An Idaho Divorce

Divorces granted in certain states have been questioned in other states and in many cases have been declared by the courts. to be null and void. Such declaration, in the state in which the decision was rendered, would put the plaintiff in the divorce action in the relation to the defendant that existed before the action was be- gun Marriages following such a di vorce have also been declared biga nous. and have formed the basis for actions for absolute divorce.
 Perhaps the most drastic action talk en in recent years in such q case was by British judge a few days ago. Hugo Lawrence Ames, the author, se

Choate's View

Joseph H ChOate is quoted as say ing that it seems we are living in an age of defamation" He goes on to say that there appears to be a ear nival Of crimination." that ns man appears to be safe from attack, and that We are living under a govern ment by indictment. Undoubtedly Mir. ChOate is in some measure correct, and probably when these early years of the twentieth century are studied sixty to a hundred years from now. his view will be confirmed. UndOubt- edly. the students will say. however that business methods following the agitation were very different from those that preceded it. While the agitation is very trying to all of us, We look forward hopefully to a day when the clouds will have been cleared away and defamation and crimination will not exist.

told BY the crew OF the whaler which

The battle with the whale began
when Gunner Siguard Blick. har-
pooned the big fellow. The whale
dashed at the vessel with terrific
speed. There was crash as he struck
amidships on the port side. The force
Of the collision increased the whales

As soon as the blow was struck
Capt. shaw went below and found
that two steel ribs had been broken
and the machinery put out Of com.
