Admiral Dewey won't be able to see "Billy" Judson when the Hero of Manila is tendered a reception in Washington next week.

The Pingree push is going to Washington by a special car as guests of the occasion, but Billy Judson, who is the biggest component part of the push, has a prior engagement at home.

"No, I can't go," said the State Oil Inspector yesterday. "It will be the first of the month, and the reports will be coming in from the deputies and, let's see - when does court set?"

"Next Wednesday," said Wire Inspector Canfield, who is keeping close tabs on the interesting (for him) court.

"Great Heavens, no - of course I can't go. Al these cases coming on. "

"Are they going to be tried this term?"' inquired the reporter.

"I suppose so, "said" Billy." "I'm ready." 

"I've been ready all the time," said Canfield. "I don't want them hanging around any longer. "

And that's why the Hero of Manila and the Colonel of Washtenaw's Rough Riders wont shake hands.
