Anmoiuiinices His Intention of
Becoming a Delegate0
THROWS ROQUETS AT CHAIRMAN GMESON
Attributes Republican Success to the Efforts of the
State Chairman The Mysterious Interview A
Big Political Fight Is On.'
Special to the Scranton Tribune
Harrlsburg, June 24. Covernor Hast
ings made a formal announcement to
night to The Tribune correspondent
that he was a candidate for delegate to
the next etate convention from Center
county, and that he would also be a
candidate for permanent chairman of
the convention. The governor stated
further that he was for Bank Commis
sioner Gilkeson for re-election as chair
man of the state committee. This an
nouncement was made by Governor
Hastlng3 after he and Attorney General
McCormlck had had a conference with
Senator Quay. What passed between
the parties to the conference none would
dUelose, except that the governor said
he had told the Beaver senator that he
favored Gilkeson's candidacy for re
election. Senator Quay Is-confined to
his room at the Lochlel hotel with a bad
ly swollen foot as a result of an acci
dent while fishing last week at Brlgan
tlne. When Governor Hasting? learned
of Senator Quay's condition he sent him
a note stating that he had expected the
senator to call, upon him, but since he
was confined to his room he would call
upon the Beaver statesman. Senator
Quay replied that he had Intended to
visit the executive department to pay
his respects to the governor, but If he
did call It would barefoot.
This evening Governor Hastings and
Attorney General McCormlck called on
Senator Quay. After the conference
between them the senator said to The
Tribune correspondent he thought Gov
ernor Hastings would be chosen perma
nent chairman of the state convention
without opposition, but that there would
be a fight for jtate chairman. Gover
nor Hastings says the fight against
Chairman Gilkeson is a war In disguise
against his administration for Its stand
during the recent legislature for a new
apportionment of the state. He says:
"Gilkeson is an able leader and a clean
politician, and ought to be re-elected
chairman for his success In Increasing
the Republican majorities In the state
under his leadership."
t.hiay's Forces In I. Inc.
Senator Quay Is getting his forces In
line for battle with his enemies. He la
tn the fight to stay and will keep U up
to a finish. He has been Irr absolute
control of the pnrty organization for
fifteen years and Is confident he will
triumph over his foes In the impend
ing contest. The sena tor remained close
to his room thfls morning In consultation
with Sergeant-at-Arms Harrah, of the
tr?uto senate; James M. Clark, of New
Castle, chief of tdia bureau of Industrial
statistics; Major Brown, of Erie, deputy
secretary of Internal affairs, and other
loyal supporters. The plan of cam
paign hari been mapped out and will bo
executed without delay. Senator Quay
and his friends are on the aggressive
and will wage a relentless war upon
those who seek to overthrow him.
The Beaver senator suffers much pain
from Che accident to his left foot while'
Ashing last week at Brigantlne. It Is
much swollen and he mooves about h's
room with a painful limp. Barring this
he Is as well as he has ever been. He
talks little about the political battle,
except to his most confidential friends.
To tbe newspaper reporters and de
partment officials, who have seen him
during his stay at the capital, the
Beaver senator talked of nothing else
but fishing. He delights in telling of
the large catches of drum fish he has
made at Brigantlne with his faithful
guide, Ben Sooy, of Ma successful land
ing larpoon In the streams of Florid i
and of the large catfish he caught In the
Missouri river before the war.
Uosiegcd hy Callers.
Senator Quay had many callers dur
ing the day. They began arriving about
8 o'clock and all day his room was be
gloged with visitors. They hod all come

ty and Its district attorney; Senator
Coyle, of Schuylkill the ilmjdacable
opponent of the Quay county; ex-Senator
Smith, of Lancaster, and many lo
cal politicians were also among the sen
ator's visitors.
The feeling beween the Quay people
and the Mai'tln-Magee-Hastlngs com
bination Is very bitter and will become
more Intense as the campaign wages.
Chairman Gilkeson is negotiating for
the removal of the state headquarters
during the convention from the T.o
ch'lel to the Commonwealth. This Is
because Senator Quay will have his
headquarters at the Lochlel, and Gilke
son does not want to come In contact
more than he can help with hist former
friend and ithe letter's faithful folloow
ers. For a quarter of a century the Lo
chlel has been the headquarters of the
state committee. If satisfactory terms
can be made with the Commonwealth
people Chairman Gilkeson will close
the contract this week.
Campaigning by Letter.
Senator Quay Is making a systematic
oimpalgn against his enemies. On last
Friday evening there was sent out from
the United States hotel, at Washing
ton, to the chairmen of the various
county and city Republican committees
a typ'wrltten letter, over his signa
ture, stating that there was likely to
be a bitter contest at the next con
vention and appealing to them to elect
delegates friendly to him. These let
ters have gone all over the state and
will be followed by a formal letter an
nouncing the senator's candidacy for
state chairman. Bank Commissioner
Gilkeson has also written to the county
and city chairmen, stating that he Is a
candidate for re-election and asking
for their assistance.

New Orleans, June 24. Lawlessness
reigned In Gretna, a suburb of this
city, in Jefferson Parish, last night.
As a result one main has suffered death
nt the hands of a mob of lynchers, an
other one Is dying, a house wns burned
and the furniture demolished. There
Is revenge in the hearts of the law
abiding citizens, who no longer have
faith In the powers of the guardians
of the pease, and they have taken the
law Into their own hands. At 0 o'clock
yesterday evening a gang of rowdies
appeared on the streets and declared
their Intention of lynching a negress
named Frances Woodsen. Night came
on, however, and they dispersed and
they-were seen n train for some hours.
About 10 o'clock at night the crowd,
who are said to be composed of bIx
well-known young men In the com
munity, went to Woodsmen's house, but
she, having heard of their threats
against her life, hud left and came over
to New Orleans, where she remained
until this morning. The hoodlums
knocked at the door, but as this was
not opened to them, they broke open
the side gate and went Into the rear
yard, subsequently gnlnglng entrance
Into 'the 'house by breaking In tlve
kitchen door.
Set Fire to Building.
Once In the house they Immediately
set to work demolishing the furniture.
After finishing their work the crowd set
Are to the building. They then ra'n
away, but were seen and recognized.
An alarm of lire was turned In and the
flames were quickly subdued. As soon
as the outrage became known white citi
zens organized themselves and deter
mined to lynch the gang. The latter
eluded arrest and at midnight com
mitted a second outrage, when they ran
across an old negro and beat him to the
point of death.
Oitlcer Goodlet Anally caught John
Frey, a young white man, and one of
the gang. The news quickly spread
among the citizens who had gathered in
force. They Intercepted the officer and
taking the prisoner from him lynched
Frey to the nearest telegraph pole. Early
this morning three others of the gang
were arrested, and It Is feared they may
suffer the same fate aj Frey.
Mil DANA'SLIDEI. SUIT.
It Is Decided That Ho Need Not Go to
Washington for Trial.
New York, June 24. The decision In
the libel case of Frank B. Noyos, editor
of the Washington Star, against Charles
A. Dana, wis handed down today by
Judge Brown, of the I'nited Spates
District court. The Judge decided that
Mr. Dana Is not to go to Washington.
The suit against Mr. Can a was insti
tuted by F. Noycs, a resident of the
state of Maryland, which fact was de
veloped during the presentation of the
case to Judge Brown.
Noyes contended that he had been
libelled In The Sun and took the matter
before the Supreme court of the Dis
trict ofo Columbia. An Indictment was
found by the grand jury of the Dis
trict of Columbia on March 7 last and
forwarded here to United States Dis
trict Attorney MeFarlane, and on ef
fort made to remove Mr. Dana to
Washington for trial.
, The mntter came first before Com
missioner Shields and subsequently the
application to remove Mr. Dana to
Washington for trial came up before
Judge Addison Broown In the United
States court.
Mr. Dana there assumed all responsl
blllty for the publication of the ma.tter
complained of and said to be libelous.
On behalf of Mr. Dana, Messrs. Root
and Bartlett argued against the re
moval of Mr. Dana to Washington as
without warrant In law and a violation
of the constitution! rights of a citizen.
Mr. Root asserted that the attack
on Mr. Dana was an attack on the lib
erties of the whole press such ns was
warranted by no statute ever passed by
congress. Mr. Root pointed out further
that the question as to whether Mr.
Dana could be removed from his home
was a question of grave Importance as
affecting the whole press of the United
States. He said that every newspaper
man was endangered and contended
that If any offence had been commit
ted It had been committed In New York
and Mr. Dana should be tried there.
This In the second attempt that has
been made to take Mr. Dana to Wash
ington. The first was made by Boss
Sheppard In a case olmoBt similar to
the last one. Justice Blatchford heard
the argument at that time. Justice
Blatchford ordered Mr. Dana to be dis
charged. ..

Nothing a Ide from the ordinary hum
drum of reading the bill perfunctorily
and approving of them was done at the
meeting of the auditing committee of
councils last night, except what Wade
Finn said briefly In reference to the
payment of the Illuminating, Heat and

The totals of the bills for the second

they could burn gas for half the price,
and there ought to be something done,
