left at once for Portland, where Dr.
Berry will appear. tomorrow morning,
before the supreme court now in ses-
sion there.
The action was not generally known
in this city, outside the members Of
the league. but came as a great sur
prise to them. DIR. Charles E. Owen,
secretary of the league, was also sum-
moned to appear before the court.
The complaint was sworn out in
Cumberland county at the institution
of Justice Haley. 1t is oceasioned by
an article in the league publication,
alleged to have been false. scandal
Gus, malicious and defamatory libel"
Justice Haley has made a practice
of imposing fines instead of jail sen
fences in IS cases in Bangor and this
has drawn much criticism, the Civic
League Record being foremost in the
ranks opposing this method.
The complaint follows.
Wilbur f. Berry of Waterville in the
county of Kennebee on the first day
of October unlawfully. wilfully, and
maliciously did write at said Water
vile and did publish at said Water
vile a certain false, scandalous, mall
cious and defamatory libel in the form
of a newspaper article printed in the
Civic League Record, newspaper
published at said Waterville containing
divers false, scandalous, malicious and
defamatory words and matters of, ana
concerning one George F. Haley. ac-
cording to the following tenor, that is
to say"
The Governor has no power apart
from Legislative authority to deal with
any recreant official If he did have
such power, we should look for the
removal of Judge Haley, (meaning the
said George F. Haley who so brazen-
~ protected Penobscot county rum
sellers from the faithful officers of
that county" (meaning that the said
George F. Haley had protected crimi-
nails and lawbreakers against the off,
GERS of the law.
And the complainant, alleges that
the said George F. Haley is and was
at the time of the writing and pub
fishing of said seandalous, malicious
and defamatory words, justice of the
supreme judicial court Of the State of
Maine and that the above libelous
words We're spoken of and concern
ing him in his said official capacity
to the great damage scandal and dis
grace of the said George f. Haley To
the evil example of all others in like
cases offending against the peace of
said State and contrary to the form of
the statute in such case made and
provided.

Site of Unique City.

Nome. the famous gold camp on
Bering sea, the most northerly city
in the world. was built ca a sandy
sea beach. In front of the town there
is an anchorage for ships, but steam
ers do not make a landing. Cargoes
and passengers are landed at Aerial
tramway station in deep water. The
principal part of the town. which a
dozen years ago had a population Of
1000, is on the east side of Snake
river, with n finger extending to the
west along a narrow sand spit. This;
sand spit was rich in gold dust, and
the early settlers built their cabins
there.
OF late years, the sands have been
worked =, and little except dredg
ing operations, which require large
capital, is being done. 1t has been
estimated that the dredges have
enough ground in sight to operate 80
years more. Nome has produced more
than $4,000, 00e in gold dust. Some
years the yield has been as high as
sS.000,0oo. This year the production
will not be more than $4,000,000. owing
to lack of water.
lfhe summer population of Nome is
about 1000 and in " inter 1000 remain,
the others coming out on steamships
that leave late in October (Ae steam
ship is yet To leave Seattle for Nome
1t will be possible to send revenue
cutters to Nome to deliver supplies
and take away needy persons wae
wish to leave.

ana turned over to Patrolman O'Con-
nell, who put him in the lookup. The
mar refused to say word about HIM
self. He acted with surley indiffer-
ence, He had on a checked cap and
answered in height and build the de-
scription given by Mr.. Koelb of one
of his assililants. The man is about
% years of age.
The second bandit escaped. 1t is
believed he is making his way through
the woods to the north.
The men apparently planned to
holdup with considerable care. They
had not anticipated that soldiers from
Fort II. G. Wright at Fishers island,
who have been here for fortnights
field work, would be close at hand.
The place of the holdup was on bend
in the road and conditions on either
side were good for making the attack.
The hole into which the satchel WAS
thrown had been prepared. The bag
found its landing place and leaves and
dirt were thrown over it, But a por-
ton of the metal work at the handle
of the bag was not covered and a
searching party made the discovery. A
few minutes before another party had
walked over the spot. II is supposed
that had the men made their escape
they would later have returned and
secured the satehel, trusting to the
completeness of their coneealment.
| Mr., Koelb collapsed from nervous
shock and was attended by physicians
After making the capture the sol
diers returned to their camp.

Committee of Repub.
licans and Progress
SiyeS Outlines Is
sues ofthe Fight.
Chief Demand Involves Sealing
OF the Delegates.

Washington. Oct. 6.-Senator Cum
MINIS. today, outlined in part the re-
form plans of the so-called "Coneilia-
ton committee" of Republicans and
Progressives, which hopes to bring
about the holding of national con-
yention, early in 1914.
The change in the representation of
southern states in the national con-
ventien is a secondary matter in the
program of the committee. With the
added support of many Republican
leaders who did not participate in the
"Get-together" conference in Chicago,
last spring, they will insist that the
control of the Republican National
Committee over the seating of dele
gates in a national convention be abol-
ished.
THE chief issue in this fight" said
Senator Cummns, today, sis that in
volving the method of selecting and
seating delegates in the national con-
yention that dominates the Republic
can Presidential and Vice Presidential
candidates. We shall insist that the
present rules be so modified and re-
constructed that the Republican Ma
tional Committee will no longer have
the power to make UP a temporary
roll of delegates or to pass upon the
credentials of state delegates before
they are seated in the convention.
Where states have primary laws
that govern the election of delegates.
it will be an easy matter to provide
by party rule that the certificates is
sued by local election officials shall be

to seats in the convention. Where
such laws do not exist, however, l be-
lieve that Republican authorities in
each state, either the state committee
or a special board, should pass on all
contests and settle the eligibility of
delegations before they go TO the ma
tional conventions.
I'VE shall insist that some such
change as this be made, so that the
Republican National Committee will
not in the future have the power to
