Ladd, president of the association, and J. Q. Emery, food com- missioners of Wisconsin, were the lead- ers in the startling charges against Secretary Wilson and the committee of five. Ladd, in his annual address, quoted from President Roosevelt's mes- sage the words urging uniformity of national and state laws, and said: CHARGES MADE BY LADD ““The 'secretary of agriculture, when the work had been partially completed, | observing that such standards were not pleasing to the special interests,| gseems to have succumbed to the pres- | sure brought to bear, and, unfortun- ately, even aiding Iin nullifying the work.

The little cargo arrived in good shape after a long tour around the Horn. The British consul informed the collector that the wine was intended for his personal use, and Stratton thereupon gave orders that it should be admitted free of duty. It reposed in the Hearn cellar, and in due time was used to inspire international ora- tory. After a time it struck Stratton that he might have exceeded his- authority and he notified the department at ‘Washington and asked for instructions. The instructions came yesterday in the form of a letter from the secretary of the treasury. It stated that if the champagne were a consulate necessity it’ would be free from entry tax, but the secretary added that it was not clear to him what part the wine played in the official administration of the office. ~Had Hearn brought the bot- tles ‘with him, they would have been | I RECOGNIZES DAM IS COUNTY CHAIRMA P. S. Teller, Head of Governing Body of Party in State, Settles Dispute The state central committée has rec- ognized F. H. Dam as the legally elected chairman of the republican county committee. This rtecognition for Dam comes from the headquarters of the executive committee in the Fair- mont hotel and from P. S. Teller, chair- man of the governing body. Dam’s title to the office was not dis- puted until John C. Lynch set out to capture the county committee for his sinister purposes. In the strugsle which followed it became necessary for the Herrin members of the county com- mittee to make a show of superiority and they gravely constituted them- selves a quorum in defiance of arith- metic and law and chose H. W. Worth- ington of the thirty-sixth district their chairman. ‘Worthington has not had a chance to preside at a meeting of the committee since an injudctton was sought by the anti-Herrin wing of the committee, but almost coincldent with the decision of Judge Murasky that no injunction could issue in a political dispute of this kind came recognition for Dam from the state central committee. As the Herrin men were anxious that the controversy in the committee should by adjudicated by the state governing body this recognition for Dam, coming from Chairman Teller, is a hard blow for them and a most unexpected one. The recognition came in a letter re- ceived by Dam yesterday, which was | addressed to “F. H. Dam, chairman of | the republican county committee.” On the letter head of the state central committee was ths following letter: | To the Chairmen of the Republican County Committees. Gentlemen—If it is possible, your attendance will be much desired at |the = republican state convention to | be held In Oakiand August 27, 1908, as it is the intention to hold a conference {of all chairmen of county committees throughout the state immediately fol- lowing the adjournment of the state convention. _Respectfully, P. S. TELLER, Chairman. This letter of recognition clears the political atmosphere considerably and reinforces Dam’'s contention that he | LEPPELIN'S AIRSHIP IS LIKE BIRD Under Perfect Control, It Sails on Tweaty-four Hour Trip Through Skies Makes Speed of Forty Miles an Hour Over Towns and Vales of Germany Settles Gracefully and Rides on River While Repairs Are Being Made |laventor Triumphs With Bal- loon Built With Subsidy of Government FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Aug. 4.—Arising from its floating dock on the dark green waters of Lake Constance early this morning, the great dirigible airship of Count Zeppelin was sent away for a 24 hours’ journey in the air to May- ence and return. Late tonight the apex of the triangular flight had been turned and the monster of the air, with nose pointed south- ward, reported speeding along under starry skies toward Friedrichshafen, where it is hoped the journey will end Wednesday. The flight to Mayence, however, was not an uninterrupted one, for some- thing went wrong with a propeller while the ship was speeding along above the valley of the Rhine, and Count. Zeppelin was compelled to bring the airship down to the surface of the rivér at Nachheim, eight miles from Mayence, where repairs were effected. The dirigible balloon again was sent on high and the trip that probably will prove a record one was recom- menced. The weather for the ascension was most auspiclous. The ship of the air rose majestically to a height of 200 yards and, crossing the lake, circled the town of Constance, then, turning, retraced the path of its flight and, de- scribing a perfect circle, passed over Friederichshafen and then soared west- ward over the lake to Basle, on the Swiss frontier. Turning the vessel slightly toward the northwest, Count Zeppelin steered it over Mulhausf and then directed fits fiight northeasterly to Strassburg, thence following the valley of the Rhine northward to Mayence, a dis- tance altogether of over 250 miles. Everything was going smoothly when the trouble to the propeller oc- curred and somewhat impeded the pass- was | away st | Cummins asks election to senate.

Hotaling, Hotel Del Monte, California, Sir: - Your testimony of bad taste and ig- norance received. It conforms with cer- tain fragmentary accounts of your ex- istence which have reached me. Per- haps you think your money licenses vou to offer such an effront not only to me, but to the distinguished people vour letter mentions. However, I will refund the amount you claim to have spent, thereby acting quixotically in taking your mere word. The “cipher headed critics,” as you designate them, have proved themselves at least humanists in their tolerance, when the financial gain of your ances- tors enabled you to make & pitiful ex- hibition of yourself in that unfortified town of Oakland. Henry Miller is not flustered over the Hotaling incident. “Who Is this fellow Hotaling?" he asked. “His letter was full of low, common phrases, like ‘stung,’ ‘sore, $14 worth sore.’ He referred to me as the ‘boss of the show.'” He attacked the professional ability of this company, which contains the best actors tha could secure. He's a blatherskite, and he writes like a tough. It was the dic- tion that offended me; it irritated me and probably affected me so that I spoke intemperately. ARROGANT BAD TASTE “In final, I have no interest in the discussion of Mr. Hotaling’s opinion, or the instance of arrogant bad taste in writing as he did of a company of art- ists whose positions are too well estab.

At 2:30 p. m. the airship rose again from the rapidly flowing Rhine and soared momentarily over the spot where her injury had been repaired, then turned her bows toward Mayence, where she arrived at 11 o'clock and passed over the gas lighted city almost beyond the view of the populace which had gathered in the streets expecting to witness the passage of the balloon.
