CHARLESTON, w. VA, March 3l.--The Re-
publican Congressional Convention met at
IL o'clock this morning.
A permanent organization was effected
by the selection of D. II. Willard, Chair
man and Ash. NJ. Prince, Secretary.
A great many counties in the district
were represented only by alternates living
here, and the Committee on Credentials re-
ported against the admission OF most Of
them. This action raised dissention, and
A Regular Parrot and Monkey Time
was the result.
The fight was between the friends of J.
NJ. New horter, who was the candidate OF
the Atkinson wing of the party, and those
Of J. w. Davis, auti-AtkinSon. The alter
mates were all McWhOrter men, and they
finally downed their adversaries and
gained admittance to the Convention.
]. S. Cunningham nominated Nc
Whorter; and I. b. Swami nominated J.
w. Davis.
The call of the counties then proceeded,
and when all the counties except Kanawha
hai voted McWhorter had thirty-seyen
and Davis twenty-one votes. When Kama
wha was called it was seen that as the mat
ter stood
Mcwhorter Would be Nominated.
w. s. Rdnsrds then nominated Judge j.
II. Brown, of Kanawha, and moved that he
be declared the nominee of the conyen-
ton by acclamation. The vote was taken
by division, and Kanawha having much
the strongest delegation, again bagged the
persimmon, the motion being carried by
a good round majority, amid cheers from
all sides of the hail. and Judge Brown was
Declared the Nominee.
Judge Brown was born in Cabell county
in December, 1918. He was on the Circuit
bench of Virginia before, and on the
Supreme bench of this State since the divi-
sion. He was also a member of the Con
vtntion which formed the Constitution Of
1868, and has twice been member OF the
legislature.
He is strong ressoner, a clear thinker,
a fOrcible speaker, and an upright, honOra-
bic gentleman, and an ayowed tariff for
revenue only man. He is far the strongest
man the party could have nominated, but
he cannot be elected,

CHICAGO, March 31.-The Supreme Court
of Illinois, the full bench assenting. has
inst filed an opinion declaring in substance
that the Pullman Palace Car Company and
like corporations are common carries, and
placing them in the same category with
railroad cars. This is contrary to q deci-
sion given BY the same tribunal some years
ago, and afirms the principle the present
State Legislature has endeavored to en-
body in The statute suit brought by Luxe
Neyin against the Car Company for refuS-
ing to permit him to occupy sleeping
berth assigned him, and which he offered 70
nav for. The lower courts decided that the
plaintiff had no power to enforce accom- mmo.
dations from the Car Company, and that IL
was optional on It's part to furnish the
same. The court asserts that the running
of sleepers has become business Oh soclai
necessity, and ir this view the law can I'm.
7pose obligations On the company the same
as upon railways, ferrymeH and innkeePers'
In the language OF the OPINION men,

A DAISY CITY TREASURER
Who Says His Little SpecuIatiOns are n
Series of Mistakes.

kENAsHA, Wis, March 3l.-A furry OF
excitement was created here this evening
over the publication of the affairs OF the
City Treasurer's office. 1t appears that
City Treasurer Paul Sauber has been rails
ing the assessment OF the property of vari-
Gus parties on their tax receipts and col.
leCtIng more than the books call for, the
amounts ranging from 81 to $40 on each in
dividual. He is refundiag the money as
fast as such receipts are produced, and
claims that the mistakes were uninten-
tiunally made. Mr.. Sauber has been con-
>idered very popular man, and is just
winding up his second term as City Treas
uIer. incidentally, it came to light few
a; Us ago that the valuation of certain
property, as shown by the tax receipt, was
larger than the original assessment. In.
Y, Stigation showed that the stuo of the re-
ceipt had been made out correctly, but the
receipt itself he'd been raised Other re.
ceipts were brought in and found to be in
the same condition. A very large per cent.
of the receipts that have been examined
show more er less excess in the amount
collected. In some instances a fee has
been charged as commission for making
the collection, to which he was not entitled.
Sauber's account for the city at the bank is
all correct, and as he is man OF proper
", and expresses his willingness to refund
all sums wrongfully Collected, there viii
probably be no ross to anyone IN the end.
