eURroN's RETIREMENT.

The retirement OF Senator Theodore
r. Burton from tho Ohio Senatorial
contest is a regrettable announcement
IN the light OF his more than twenty
years distinguished service to his
State and the country in the House
OF Representatives and the Senate.
His decision comes as somewhat OF a
surprise. as he had made a partial can
vass OF Ohio for reelection. As he
met with the greatest encouragement
from his constituents. II is not on
account OF any dissatisfaction in this
respect that has moved him to with
draw from the contest. His personal
reason is. probably. his impelling
motive. that he is weary OF the strife
OF politics.
Senator Burton has always re-
manned loyal to the Republican party.
and refused TO align himself with that
element, whose departure in 1912
made possible the election OF Wood
row Wilson. But he rises high at this
juncture in selfeffacement in refus-
ing 10 in any manner become a STUN
bling block TO the practical amalga-
nation Of the divided sections OF the
party. which Is now progressing favor
ably in Ohio. He verifes this view in
his statement when he says: my
chief anxiety is for the success of the
Republican party in the State of Ohio
at the coming election. The prospects
are extremely favorable. Any per.
sonal ambitions OF mine should be
subordinated to the success of the
principles which have advocated
This conclusion is emphasized by the
loyal support which has been given
me in many campaigns in the past.
This means that he is willing TO sac,
rifice all personal considerations in
the interest of party unity, com.
mendable and highly patriotic resolve
Senator Burton earnestly enjoins all
who have affiliated with the Repub
, lican party in Ohio to ignore personal
controversies. and in the spirit OF mu
tual concession unite upon principles
which the conscience of the people
can approve. That done the way "a
victory will be easy.

POLICE COURT.

What scents very much OF a feud was
aired In police court yesterday morning
when Louis Lagomarcino and Joseph
Cambria were arraigncd for fighting
and lined $40 and costs. Both gave no
tice OF an appeal 70 the criminal court
and the Judge made IL $50 and costs,
that they might have the opportunity.
Just who was responsible for the start
ing Of the fight Is not known. but u
seems that the Italian faction has lined
up back OF the two men as though they
were champions. each 81 a separate fac
ton. LagOmarcino claimed that he was
going 10 work when he saw Cambria
coming out OF a barber shop opposite
the T.. a. %. depot.
Laromarcino stated that he stopped
to talk To- some friends when he saw
Cambria coming towards him. He stated
his hip pocket as ~ TO draw "A revolver.

range. Then the scufflc began and
Lagomarcinp took the other mans gun
