pines-Beveridge in Conference.
Washington, Sept. s. - President
Schurman, OF the Philipp commits
sion, called at the state department
yesterday to say goodbye before leav-
ing for Ithaca, \. Y. His optimistic
views have convinced some of the
leading officials, at least, that the end
of the war in the Philippines is in
sight One of the arguments which he
used to support this belief was chart
of the Philippine group. On this the
various races populating the islands
were graphically set out in colors- The
significant feature is the small show
ing made by the Tagals.
Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, who
has recently returned from the Philip
pines. called at the White House yes
terday and had a conference with
President Mckinley. The conference
lasted nearly two hours, and is under
stood to have been with reference to
the conditions in the Philippines. Later
the senator went ont driving with the
president and another conference was
arranged to take place at the White
House this afternoon.

REPLIES TO SOME QUESTIONS.

Witness who Says Ex-Agent CIarke's
Story Was False -Price-Cntting.
In reply to questions Boyle said that
the Standard company had paid money
to secure the publication of articles in
the press i'll reply to miSrepresenta-
tionS. hut so far as he was concerned
he treated all with equal fairness i'll
his paper. Replying to Smyth Boyle
said he considered that the Standard
company had been the source of great
benefit to the American people because
of its organizing capacity. He did not
consider the company in the nature of
trust, the trust having been dissolved.
1t was case of the survival of the fit
test. Any other organization with the
same nerve. courage and ability might
have done just what the Standard had
done by beginning when it did and as
it did
Boyle was followed by Il. \. Mat
thews. manager of the Standard COM
pany at Columbus, O. He came before
the commission TO refute statements
made before the commission some
months ago by one w. II. Clarke. who
had been agent for the company at
Newark. O. Among these statements
We're allegations that the Standard
had sold oils from the same tank at
different prices. and had mixed coal oil
and turpentine. These and other
charges made by Clarke were pro-
nOunced false. He stated that Clarke
had been discharged from the employ
of the company under n cloud. Mat
thews said il was the practice of the
Standard 10 cut prices to meet compe-
tition. but only after other sellers had
initiated the reduction.
Clarke'S testimony was printed in
these dispatches when given.

and the officials concerned in the nego-

attend their efforts, it can be stated
that at this moment the negotiations
are still running. and therefore it can
not be said that an arrangement has

County Court assembled in annual ses-
sion in the County Court House Tuesday
morning with all three of the commission
ers present.
The resignation of Chas. f. Bodine as
administrator of the estate of Mamie
Kitchen was presented and George New
kirk was appointed as his successor, With
bond of $1,000.
The will of Frank Cowen was admitted
to probate.
Another re-apportionment of the tax
upon the railroad property in Berkeley
County has been made by the Board of
Public Works, which was confirmed by
the court Tuesday. The re-appor-
tionment takes away from Martinsburg
district an annual income of about S3II
and distributes the assessable property in
the other districts of the county, which do
not impose any corporation tax. The b.
& q. had its surveyors survey all the tax
able property in the county, which was
gone over ard verified by County Survey
or Wood. The assessment heretofore
was only guess work and this is the first
survey that has been made for assessment
purposes. The other re-apportionment
made several months ago took away from
the Corporation and School Board togeth-
er over a thousand dollars, and this time
they suffer another great loss in revenue.
The re-apportlonment takes off SI2,-
232.75 of the assessment upon the c. ",
and 81 ,SSo3S upon the B. & 0. in this
district
The levy for general purposes in Mar
tinsburg district is SAILS on the one hum

which the City School Board and Corpor-
alton will lose by the re- apporionment.

Nearly the entire session was consum-
ed in receiving bids 70 the furnishing of
the vaults TO be erected for the use of the

tract was awarded to the Art Metallic

GREAT DEMAND FOR LABOR.

The demand for labor in this country
at this time is simply phenomenal. For
weeks the farmers of the Northwest have
called for help to assist in harvesting their
big wheat crop. The great iron center
about Pttsburg can not fine men enough
to do the work in the big mills. All the
great cities and manufacturing centers re-
port a shortage in laborers. The employ
ment offices of Chicago, for instance, have
a demand for help in almost all lines
greater than they can supply. In domes-
tic service in that city 5000 families want
help, with but 400 responses, and women
who go out to service make absolutely
their own terms. There are fewer idle
men and women in the country than there
has been for years. What a contrast be-
tween 1899 and-ISo6!
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1899-09-09
Imposed ON.

1t goes right hard to be imposed upon,
especially when one is trying to perform
an act of charity, but that is what John
McCloud and his family of five children
did upon the Citizens Relief Association.
The Association was quick to catch on,
however. and it probably saved the city
considerable amount, for if 1t had not
taken them in charge, they would have
begged much money from the good citi-
zens of the town. The man had good
scheme and it worked admirably. He,
with his family of young children and no
wife to take care of them elected sympathy
and hardly anyone could help giving to
such seemingly worthy cause.
President Robinson, upon questioning
him and the employees at the b. * Q.
station, found out that he had lied to him
and upon further investigation he found
that he was a fraud. There is no doubt
but his wife died two weeks ago in a
charitable hospital in Petersburg. Since
that time the idea for making a living in
such an easy way struck him and he
has worked it for all it was worth.
AT every town he landed in he work
ed the people. He told that he wanted
TO go back among his relatives and alter
collecting a good sum of money and Sc
curing transportation he would make for
the next town and "work it, For the
past week the papers in the diff
ferent towns OF the State, that he has
worked, published accounts of the pitt
full condition of John McCloud and his
family of five young children" They
all have been easy marks for him and
Martinsburg is the first town to discover
the fraud.
The B. & o. sold Mr.. Robinson tickets
at half price and he sent them 10 Point
Pleasant, his alleged home. He gave the
tickets TO the conductor on train No. S.
and told him to see that they went on to
that place without getting off. He also
wrote to the Mayor of Point Pleasant for
information concerning the family.
1t was established beyond doubt that
the man was a fraud and the Citizen S
Relief Association wishes to warn
all the other towns in the State to
watch out and not be imposed upon.

KILLED THE SKUNK s?

They have public skunk pen near
Shepherdstown. The other day Buzzy,
IT., was there, and leaning over the fence,
blew his breath upon the skunks. Fifteen
of them died instantly, and the rest have
been sick ever since. The Shepherds

injunction to prevent Buzzy, IT., from
mixing again with the other skunks.

The manner in which Hon. J. S. Butts,
referee in bankruptcy, wound up the Tebo
case, was an agreeable surprise to his
many friends. All of his decisions have
been sustained SO far, and in settling the
question of the labor claims, he decided
in favor Of the laborers, declaring that the
laborer is worthy Of his hire" Mr. Butts
appointment was a good one. He is
careful to do everything that he can to ac-
accommodate lawyers and clients; yet, at
the same time, is positive and prompt.
