SENTIMENT FOR JUDGE BENNETT
Special to the Register.

Special to the Register.
Parkersburg. w. Va, July 12.-The
rumor which became current in politi-
cal channels last week that Judge w.
G.. Bennett, Of Weston, had Guberna-
torial aspirations, since his friends had
learned that such a growing sentiment
in his favor was observable throughout
the State, has spread quite rapidly, and
from correspondence and other sources
it is learned that a tremendous under
ground sentiment in his favor has
sprung up all over the State. Judge
Bennett is probably the most available
candidate in the field, and his financial
ideas are in keeping with those of the
party and of the people.
His public announcement as a can
didate is now certain, and the Register
man is told that the Judges boom is
growing rapidly and promises good re-
suits.

Sunday School Money Taken From N
Judges Son.
Walter kimball, thirteen years old. son
OF Judge kirball of the Police Court, was
held up Sunday afternoon and robbed of
MS Sunday school money, cents. and
two car tickets. The little Sunday school
boy started from home during the after
noon to attend school at lexington He
was given 2 cents as his contribution, and
because Of the long distance between his
home and the school he was given two car
tickets to use on the street car line
But Walter thought he would walk and
save a car ticket, and SO he proceeded on
foot from Capitol Hill to lexington. Three
little colored boys who were certain that
the well-drcssed little boy on his way to
church had some money proceeded to rob
him in true western style. There being
three against one, the judges son was
powerless ill the matter, and when relieved
or his cash and tickets he had to walk
home.
Bright and early yesterday the Judge was
on hand at police headquarters to enter
complaint against the youthful highway
men. The result was that Policeman
Trumbo arrested two of them, Alfred
Moore and Benjamin West. Because of
their youth they were charged with petit
larceny, and upon this charge they were
tried before Judge Miller today. Moore's
brother was in court and upon promise to
take Alfred home and correct him the latter
was released. A fine of s. or fifteen days
was imposed on West.

ms is what Judge Kimbal said in court
this morning, when three gentlemanly ap-
Pearing young men had given testimony to
sho" the innocence Of Harry Hooper, The
Policeman in the case was Officer Farquhar

was that some boys had stood on the side

iemple and had initiated the officer in call
ing carriage This, was not relished by

proved the victim, and, feeling that he was
innocent OF any wrongdoing, he went to
court this morning.

neara IN the party of young men appeared
on the witness stand and related his story,

minutes before the policeman arrested me

The two other young men appeared and
gave similar testimony. They declared that
hooper mad done nothing other than what
ne said he did. But the policeman who
had made the arrest interrupted them as
they gave their testimony and had to be
told by the court to keep quiet.
Inc evidence Of the three young men
against the policeman was of no avail,
Tor, as already stated, Judge Kimball said
he must sustain the officer and imposed a

Mr.. Boutelle, chairman of the naval COM

and then sarcastically contrasted the war
talk Of some of the Senators with their
votes to reduce the number of battle ships
provided for in the bill. Mr.. Quigg On. W

Plans had been made by many of the
large brewers in New York, who had es-
tablished only a moderate sale for their
output In bottles, by which this branch
was to be materially enlarged, thereby
taking the beer direct from the breweries
to the families. Orders for vast quantities
of pint bottles were poured in upon the
manufacturers. Very much to the surprise
Ct the brewers, they received by return
mail notices to the effect that the stock
OF new bottles on hand was 80 small that
Ne orders could not be flied for months
to come. One millionaire brewer of the
upper East Side, who gave an order for
$500 gross Of pint bottles a fortnight ago,
received $50 gross and advices that the re-
mainder OF the order could not be delivered
before the latter part Of next September,
