Note from, Mr. CIaSeff

WAsHIsGroN, ID. c.. Dec %, 1915.
Editor Of ihe Stdr--I beg To thank you for
the complimentary part OF your article
which appeared in THE STAR yesterday,
Chatham Street Tactics" also thank you
ami the other papers OF the city tor the wide
candidacy for the presidency OF the Wash
ineton and Georgetown Railroad company.
Iouestion, however; the Justice OF either of
in the event OF my being the chosen OF the
stockholders.
It'has been suggested that am to be the
pppptf or tool OF, by one class of the stock
holders in the event of my election. The
stakeholder who invests his vote or gives his
proxy under the idea that he is purchasing
either Of the above articles. is not a good
judge of what he wants, should he have his
eve on me.
That shall not have to take further notice
of the subject through the papers very dis
tasteful TO me,) and that there shall De no
Misunderstanding as regards my status
among the stockholders of the Washington
and Georgetown Railroad company, desire
20 state that have been solicited by very
respectable number of the citizen stock
holders and quite large in interest, TO allow
the use OF my name as a candidate for the
presidency of the company; aud, subSe-
quently endorsed (after due inquiry as re-
CARDS my capacity and stand1ng,) by very
large interest held in New York and Phila-
uelphia. have accepted this fiattering tes-
ttmonfal of their confidence upon the follow
ing conditions, viz LIST. That shall not be
required to solicit the votes in proxies OF any
stakeholder. ID. That if elected must have
entire control of all the branch of tue com
pany. 3D. That must not be hampered in
my duties by any stockhOlder, large or small,
whether he voted for me or not. Uuder no
other conditions do want or viii accept
the position.
Will further state, that do not hold the
proxy, nor have l personally solicited the
vote OF any stockhOlder OF the company.
The action taken 10 elect me president of the
company has been the voluntary act OF those
interested, who think that I would DC the
right man in the right place, and would pro-
mote their interest. Any other statement
that may nave been made, or may hereafter
be made In connecting my name with the
presidency of The Washington and George
town Railroad Company for the purpose of
influencing the votes of the stockholders
either fOT or against me, will be perversion
Of the truth.
Respectfully, w. II. CLAG EFT.

commit rape upon Miss Cox, young
lady OF this county, about 10 or lS years
of age, and the daughter of highly re.
spected citizen Of Pot ato Neck, CAPTAIN
Elijah Cox.
It seems that this negro ha / been dred
ging last winter with some vessel from
that part OF the county, and after the
oyster season was over he was employed
by Capt. Coz. Miss Cox sleeps In q bed
room of the back building, and on the
night when the attempt was made, she
was sleeping in her bed just underneath
a window, which was up and only secu.
red by the shutters being closed (as she
was in the seco nd story. A ladder was
placed on the sill of the window, and UP
this ladder the negro went, pried the
shutters open with his knife and got on
the bed. The lady was awakened By the
touch Of somc ones hand on her leg, and
springing up she screamed for help, and
was told hush" three or four times
Her brothers heard her screams in an.

Soto, Missouri.

ST. LOUIS, September S.-Jefferson
Davis delivered an address at the agri.
cultural fair, at De Soto, Missouri, to-
day. There was large crowd present
Mr. Davis was well received, but no
notable demonstration was made on
the occasion.
He spoke at considerable length up.
on the vast agricultural resources of
the country and future developments
OF commerce. the Mississippi valley
and its great advantage and Importance
10 the nation. He predicted the time
would soon come when fleets of iron
barges would float down the mighty
Mississippi, bearing commerce great
er than that Of the whole world but
awhile ago, and In view of tn vast
possibilities of this great valley, he
advocated the building of university
which should serve to confer the high
est education upon the young men of
the valley. The greet population
which must soon swarm In this rich
region will lead or be led, according
to the status which they may maintain
in mental culture.
Mr. Davis al: o 1rged the necessity
oI direct trade vi b Europe, and as
serted specie resumption was impSao-
ticaole until our exports exceed our
Imports. He also declared Congress
had no authority to declare that specie
payment should be resumed at q cex.
tain date, and In the present condition
OF the country more currency 1. need
ed. The gentleman's speech was fire.
Iqueotly applauded.
