Denied by Russell.

Solicitor Mott passed up the road
Saturday on his return home from
Baltimore and Washington. He re-
ported his health better. The Colonel
expressed the opinion that Gov. Rus
sell will resist the order of the Su-
preme Court to remove the two Rail-
way Commissioners.
In an interview given out Friday
Gov. Russell says: 1.-The statement
accredited to me in regard to remarks
concerning resistance to the order or
decree of the Supreme Court of the
United States is unqualifledly false
and has not even the shadow of a
foundation, and was manufactured by
my enemies to iniure me and my ap-
pointees."

Mr.. Tavis was in favor of the Board
