WOODRUFF HAS COME BACK.
Indications That Before Long lie VIII Again
o. he Republican Leader In Kings.

Since he resumed his residence in
Brooklyn last week at the Hotel Bossert,
on the Heights, Timothy l.. Woodruff
has been renewing his acquaintance with
the Republican district leaders and cleo
tion captains. He became on Monday
night member Of the First Assembly
District Republican Club. His followers
say he can easily regain his old p lace
as county leader if he is disposed to do so.
Although through an agreement be-
tween Naval Officer Kracke and Congress-
man Calder the nominal leadership OF the
organization was recently given to Marcus
b. Campbell there is not much likelihood
that his regime will outlive the March
primaries, and with his retirement. It is
presumed, Mr.. Woodruff will again
take hold Of the party reins. He has re-
sumed his friendly relations with Col
Roosevelt following recent meeting
between them, but he IL strong sup
porter Of President Taft.
Il told the Colonel | was for Taft. :"
Mr.. Woodruff said yesterday when asked
about the interview. Mr.. Woodruff spent
two hours yesterday afternoon at the
Temple Bar headquarters. and most Of the
district leaders and many other active
party workers called to greet him.
When the gathering at Republican
headquarters had broken up the prevail
ing opinion was that Mr.. Woodruff had
virtually been recognized a. the county
leader and that Marcus Il. Campbell, while
retaining his place as chairman Of the
executive committee. would not make
any opposition to the changed conditions.
Before leaving headquarters Mr.. Wood
run referred to the harmony which had
for the most part prevailed during the
many years OF his previous leadership.
and while not admitting that he had been
reinstated in the leadership he said his
best efforts would be employed to obli:-
crate old party differences and thor
oughly unite the organization.
II seems to be assumed that Mr.. Wood
ruiz is once more the undisputed Repub-
lican boss in Kings county and that there
will be no friction over the starting of his
second regime.

OMAHA, Feb. 2O.-Richard l.. Metcalfe.

to-day sent this letter indorsing Woodrow
Wilson to j. W. Woodrough Of Omaha:
DEAR SIR: congratulate you upon
your letter OF February in defence OF Gov.
Woodrow Wilson. IL We were all held to
account for everything We had written or
spoken there would only be a few left to
grace the halls populated by those who
never made mistake.
GOV. Wilson has admitted that he now
knows many things he did not know few
years ago. and surely IL Is something for
a man to be capable of growth and bra We
enough To confess il. The people are more
discriminating than some newspaper editors
| and other politicians give them credit
for being. The fact explains why such
criticisms as those now ievelled at Gov.
Wilson do not hurt him
The people are able when they have the
| evidence TO sweep a side the immaterial and
the irrelevant and get down TO what the
boys call brass tacks.
believe II will be found that so far
as the people are concerned the brass
ta,n," OF the present situation are as fol-
lows: A. Governor of New Jersey Wood

DICTAGRAPH EVIDENCE GOOD.
Ohio supreme Court Cpholds Bribery
Conviction Got Through Its Use.

COLUMBUS. Ohio. Feb 20. By a de
cision of the Supreme Court to-day the
use of the dictagraph in convicting
corrupt legislators. attaches and lobbyists
ia upheld.
The court did not report it's decision,
which was in the case OF Rodney j. Diegel,
former Senate sergeant -at-arms. con-
victed last July OF connection with the
alleged bribing OF Senator l.. r. Andrews.
The States case would have fallen through
but for the admission of the dictagraph
testimony. which confirmed the claim
that there was Il bribery conspiracy and
that Diegel was the gobetween.
The Supreme Court sustained the lower
courts and Diegel probably will go TO the
penitentiary tomorrow TO serve three
years.
Next week other Legislative bribery
cases, trials of which were held b~.i
pending the Supreme Courts decision
in the Diegel case, will begin
Besides the use of the dictagraph

1t looked for time as though the Ste

Furthermore. many conservative Re-
'pubiicans feel they cannot afford to
vote to allow Mr. Stephenson to re-
tain his seat in the face of tn e reports
that have been submitted in the case.
II is certain there will be long and acri-
monious debate,
The majority report. on the case recites
that the charges Of corrupt practices have
not been proved but Chairman Heyburn
felt impelled to submit his views as an
individual member of the committee and
condemned the expenditure of large sum
OF money which Senator Stephenson ad-
mittedly spent
Senators Sutherland and Pomerene
joined in a report which was even more
scathing as TO the corrupt use OF money
and a minority report from the whole
committee recommended that Senator
Stephenson be- unseated.
The friends OF Stephenson realize that
when the reports become a matter of

politics here to-day was the announce
ment that the White House has suspended

Cecil Lyon, the member OF the national
committee fr m Texas. who during the
Roosevelt regim, carried passkey to
| the White House
From information that has come to the
managers of President Taft's candidacy
Col. Lyon still adheres to his first love in
politics He seemed "wabbly' at the
recent meeting Of the national committee
in Washington and has been claimed by
the Roosevelt men from time to time
| 1t is known here that he has been in COM
munication with the Roosevelt people.
| A few days ago it was found necessary
to throw Col. Lyon into the political dis
card. and the Administration recognized
ii +. McGregor. well known Texas
| Republican. as referee in matters Of Iat
ronage. Mr.. Mctiregor has charge Of
the Taft campaign in Texas and already
he polit ical fur is beginning to fly in the
| Lone Star State
Next to the developments in the Texa s
| situation the most important phase of
| national politics was an unusually peppery
| statement from Senator Bourne. Usu-
ally he speaks as the head of the Progress
sive League. In this instance. for obvi-
GUS reasons of political expediency he
| talks as the head Of the Senate Committee
| on Post Offices and Post Roads. In his
latest statement he discussed the North
Carolina patronage situation and says:

THE BOOST NOT FORBIDDEN
Commission Prevented II Last Year,
but Made No Formal, Last
ing Order.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Officials Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission would
not be surprised II a movement were
augurated this spring by the railroads
in Eastern territory to secure a hori-
zontal increase in freight rates. The
commission is paying close attention to
q series Of conferences now on between
representatives of the Eastern carriers
and representatives OF the locomotive
engineers. who are demanding an increase
in wages from 20 to SO per cent.
According to the representatives OF the
carriers the proposed Increase in wages
would amount to SiO.OOO.O 900 a year. II
is said that the carriers will decline to
grant any increases at all and will base
their declination not on the ground
that the engineers are not entitled to 1t.
but upon the ground that tn ey cannot
raise wages unless they are allowed to
raise their freight rates.
The carriers contend that the increases
they desire to make are only slight per-
centage. but in the aggregate will enable
them to advance wages and meet other
increased costs Of operation.
The commission handed down an
opinion on February 22,' 1911, declining
10 approve general advances in freight
rates on Eastern and Western railroads.
The commission did not make a formal
order in the case. but requested carriers
to with draw the tariffs which had been
suspended by the commission. in view
of this and of a statement made at the
time the increases were denied it 10 said
the carriers believe that this spring an
effort should be made to secure the in
