Gov. O'FERRAL says horse racing in
Alexandria county Gig carried on under
color of law and perversion 6f an act
of the legislature" How such thing
is possible will be what the next legis-
iature may try to find out. Horse racing
always has been legitimate and popular
sport in Virginia, and why it should
have to be carried on under "color OF
law" and "perversion of an act" is
what unsophisticated people, at least,
don't understand

THURSDAY EVENING. MAY 10, 1925

AT A prohibition meeting in Boston,
n night or two ago, Maine was
denounced as a "rumridden" State
and it was said that rum was
king there, and that whole COM
munities there made themselves It's
willing subjects. And yet Maine Is
the mother of prohibition, and an anti
liouor law is named after her. In the
sweet by and by, modern law makers
may, possibly, like their wiser proto-
types of ancient times, learn that free
men will not be restricted in their per-
sonal liberty, and will allow nothing
but their pocket books and their ply
sician's advice to prescribe their meat
and drink.

GOV. O'FERRALL AND THE WASH
INGTON BOARD OF TRADE.


In response to the resolutions of the
Board of Trade, of Washington, Gov
ernor O'Ferrall says:
1.-THE horse racing is carried on under
color of law and perversion of an act
passed by the Virginia Legislature last
session. The gambling dens from Jack.
son City to Rosslyn ought to have been
closed long since. Virginia's laws are
plain and rigid enough, but the matter
is in the hands of the civil authorities
of Alexandria county, who have done
nothing, as l am informed and believe.
| have no authority to remove these Of.
ficers and fill their places with other
men. No assistance has been given by
citizens of that county, and though l
have made various efforts 1 have not
been able to obtain any evidence against
single house or individual.
SIT is not necessary for me to say that
Washington furnishes the people who
are violating Virginia's laws and max
ing the locality named an infamous
place. As Washington supplies the
iawbreakers she ought to aid me in
breaking up the iniquitous dans, and if
her authorities will secure evidence
against them and keep the lawbreakers
under their eyes 1 will have them ar
rested, extradited, tried and punished,
and no clemency will be extended to
one of them.
"This is fair proposition. It is true
the Alexandria county officers ought to
do their duty, and 1 would make them
if 1 could; but On the other hand, if
Washington citizens did not violate the
laws there would be no violators to ar
rest.
'sLet the Board of Trade take steps in
the direction indicated and they will
find me most earnestly cooperating
with them. I am more anxious than
they can be to wipe out the c,lrse-spot
on Virginia's fair name"

Decisive Action.

COLUMBIA, S. u, May 16.-An all
night secret session of the Tillman. Irby
executive committee, claiming to be the
regular democratic State organiza
ton, was held here last night.
Senator Tillman advocated a white
primary to nominate delegates
to the convention, saying that il
tho conservative democrats, his
white opponents, would not come into
it, but made their fight in the general
election, there would be a sanguinary
campaign. He said that if Judge Golf
went any further in this matter he, for
one, would advocate open rebellion.
The end of it was that general white
primary was ordered to be held July
Both to nominate delegates to the con-
stitutional convention.

AS ANTICIPATED by those who keep
their eyes open, the Roanoke confer
ence turned out to be a complete fizzle'
as we'll in point of numbers as of action.
Very few people were present, and the
resolution that was adopted, while de-
claring, what every body agrees to, that
the State constitution needs amend
ment, leaves the time for submitting
the question of calling convention to
make the required amendments, to the
discretion of the legislature to be elect
ed next fall, which discretion the legis'
lature would have exercised if the con,
ference had never been held.

Gov. O'FERRALL was right in send
ing troops to preserve law and order
and to prevent the destruction of prop
erty in Southwest Virginia. He is
equally right in telling the board OF
trade of Washington, as the GAZETTE
had previously done, that as all the
law breakers in Alexandria county
come from, and go back to Washing
ton, the police authorities of that rich
city, half of whose salaries is paid by
the general government, should look
after them, and not devolve the whole
of that expense upon the poor people
of the county referred to.

AS THE best constitutional lawyers
have decided that the retrocession OF
Alexandria county to Virginia was con-
stitutional, and as Alexander's Island is,
and always has been, a part of Alexan-
dria county, the talk of members of the
Washington board of trade, or of any
body else, about testing the validity Of
the retrocession of the county, or of the
jurisdiction of the State over the So
called "island," amounts to nothing.

WALTON ELECTION LAw.-Attorney-G Gen
eral B. Taylor Scott, in letter to E. S. Hoot,
st Mt. Sidney, Va, gives his opinion as to the
Walton election law as follows: The voter
who can read and write is not restricted by
the new ballot law in the means he Is to use
in preparing his ballot, but must prepare it
within the time limited after entering the
booth. The illiterate voter cannot take with
him into the booth "a memorandum" and
from it require the special constable to pre-
narehis ticket. He must conform to the laws
requirements and demand such service as it
allows the constable to 'reuder, and this SER
vice must be rendered in the mode the law
LAYS down and prescribes."

of my wife. While ! was pastor of the Bap.
fist Church at Rives Junction she was brought.
down with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe.
Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last

THE MINERS STRIKE.

Governor O'Ferrall, who returned
from Pocahontas to Richmond yester.
day, says that the strike in the West
Virginia coal regions is coal opera.
tors strike, and he declares that the
operators forced the miners to strike
to secure reduction of freight rates
The operators at Pocahontas, however
have stood by their agreement, and the
men are entirely satisfied with their
treatment. Many miners, the governor
says, would return to work but for
fears growing out of the fact that the
West Virginia miners, who are backed
by their operators, are threatening
them with violence if they work, and it
is to protect these men, says the gov
ernor, that he is keeping troops at Po-
cahontas. As result of the strike, in
dustries all along the Norfolk and
Western lines ere shut down, and
thousands of people are thus thrown
out Unemployment.
The governor intended to relieve
from duty the Roanoke Machine
Works Guards, a company composed OF
workiugmen from those shops, but has
left them on duty, on petition of the
men themselves, who stated that they
preferred to remain as soldiers to going
home TO be idle. The situation, he
says, is improving.
Yesterday 200 Italian miners reached
Pocahontas to 90 work for the South
west Coal Company. The mines were
busy yesterday. Many of the old men
returned to work. The West Virginia
lines are closely watched and the
strictest guard is kept upon all going to
the Elkhorn mines. The bringing in
of these miners increases the bitter feel
ing, and it is not known what action
the strikers will take. Meetings were
held throughout the Elkhorn section
yesterday.
Six cars loaded with nearly four hum
dred miners from the North arrived at
Pocahontas yesterday. Uneasiness was
felt lest trouble should follow this i'm
portation of men to take the places OF
the strikers, but up to 10 o'clock last
night all was quiet.
The miners of Pocahontas yesterday
received their charter of membership
in the United Mine Workers OF Ameri-
ca. A meeting was held by them with
closed doors, and nothing can be learn.
ed of their action. This is the first
time union has ever been organized
there. 1t is composed principally OF
colored men.
The Albemarle Light Horse, thirty
six strong, arrived yesterday, relieving

Potomac FLATS CAsE.-In the Po-
tomac flats case in Washington yester-
day Assistant District Attorney Tag
CART concluded his argument in oppo
sition to the contention of owners OF
certain lots, and Mr.. h. Randall Webb,
representing those claimants, briefly re-
piled.
During Mr.. Taggart's argument
Judge Hagner called his attention to a
patent granted by the Maryland COLO
NAL authorities in 1852, conveying An
alostan Island to one Brandt. Mr.
Taggart stated that was true, and be
also stated that the colonial records
showed that Maryland possessed both
Analostan Island and Homer Island,
the latter now known as Alexander
Island.
The latter island, explained Mr..
Taggart, had never been granted by
Maryland to Virginia, and he intimat-
ed that there could be no doubt that
the United States is to-day the owner
in fact of Alexander Island. Mr.. Tag
CART also added that when the present
case was disposed of, he would prepare
for filing in the United States Supreme
Court suit on behalf of the United
States against the State of Virginia to
recover possession of Alexander Island.
