Special Dispatch to the IntellIgencer.
PARKERSBURG, w. va, April L.
Joseph p. Hawks, a prominent travel
Ing man OF this city, and who is we'll
know all over the state. and especially
in Terra Alta, had hearing this after
noon before United States Commission
er Tavenner, as detailed fully and eX-
clusively In the lntelligencer. Hawks
was arrested March IS on the affidavit
OF Belle FreelaRd, the notorious ex-
convict from Joliet, whose home Is In
Terra Alta, that Hawks gave her raised
or scraped bills to pass. The arrest
created Il great sensation, as Hawks
Is n gentleman and closely connected
with the wealthlest and most ariSto-
cratic families Of Parkersburg
His hearing was set for April and
so came UP to-day. There WAS abso-
lutely nothing and no foundation In the
case against him The machine made
testimony was swept away and when
the commissioner discharged Hawks
the room rang with a round of applause
and he was congratulated on all sides.
IT was an utter failure to sustain the
charge. Mrs. Freeland her sister, Mrs.
White and two nleces were all the wilt
nesses for Mrs. Freland's side. Several
Terra Alta citizens testified to the char
acter Of the woman and said they would
not behave her under oath. These wilt
ncsses were proprietor Huntington, OF
the Huntington Hotel, Editor Boland,
of the Terra Alta oracle, and Albert
Funk, three prominent citizens Of that
town.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. April THE

discussion to-day by the house commit
tee on commerce. The commidtee tried
to frame an amendment which would
insure 10 this government first lien
on the property and right Of way for Its
business under any conditions which
might arise in the future. Possibilities
Of sale Of the property, Of re-organi-
zation or a change in its control under
any method were considered. There was
unanlmity OF sentiment that the bill
should be drawn to make the govern
ment lien absolutely iron-clad and i'm
possible of transfer or dlspIacement,b but
no satisfactory wording OF the bin was
drawn The subject Will be further con-
sidcred at the next meeting.

Frank j. Cannon. Arthur Brown, c. f.
Allen. Isaac Trumbo, w. r. McCor-
mick and Thomas Kearnes as delegates
" the ST. Louis convention.
Chairman A. l.. Thomas made an elo-
quent speech in the interest Of Repu5-
ilcan principles and closed with strong
appeal for protection and st-meta4llsIIe
for the best interests OF the party and
country.
Congratulatery kilograms were re-
eeIVed from Senator Brown and Rep
resentatIye Allen. The platform is
confined almost entirely to prSteoton
and bI-metalllsm. and the sense OF the
convention Is expressed in'the following
language:
I'VE believe in q protective tariff;
we believe in reciprocity; We believe IN
bI-metallisrh which IS the full recogni-
tIon alike Of gold and silver and their
free coinage in the mints OF the nation
at the ratio of l6 to /.
1--WE contemplate with sorrow and
shame the spectacle which our country
presents to-day because OF the attempt
to substitute for protective tariH n
tariff for revenue, and because OF the
destruction Of silver as money of hnal
redemption. 90,
1--WE hold that a policy which has fill
ed the land with idle men, which takes
from labor It's honest reward. which
doubles the burden of debt, which. amid
bountiful harVestS, in a time OF pro-
found peace, makes. necessary the issu-
Ing of hundreds Of millions dollars
worth Of lnteresb-bearing bonds In or
der to meet the current expenses OF the
government, is an impeachment OF
