ENGLISH POKE Fllll
i mcoyptLT
London, May 29.—The English
papers are all poking fun at the
big Hull Moose because of his
libel action against the lowly edi
tor of a Michigan paper, when, on
I other occasions, he has been call
ed a crook, charged with grafting
while governor of New York state,
with having aided and profited
through the sale of the Panama
canal rights of the former French
company, which was purchased
for SS 40,000.000 while he was
president, and the suit he brought
against Joseph Pulitzer, publish
er of the New York World, was
dropped, but now, when he has the
editor of a little western paper
where he can't ge| away, he vig
jorously pushes the first libel suit
of his career.
