In discussing State issues he review
ed the history of the Republican party
when in power in this State just after
the war, and compared their arbitrary
actions with their recent violations of
the constitution during the last session
of the Legislature, saying:
These matters may seem small and
unimportant, but they are pregnant
with significance. They indicate that
the party in power has little respect
for law. 1t cannot be relied upon,
whenever selfish purpose intewenes,
to respect and enforce the laws that
should govern this State. If the con-
stitution is to be disobeyed, ignored
and set aside, what good is it to you?
What safety have you? What guaran-
ty outside Of it have you for the safety
OF your lives, liberties and property?
Bear in mind that there is not a one of
you who has home but what
TheTitle to That Home
is dependent upon the constitution Of
your State. 1t is only by virtue of law
that you hold property. 1t is only by
virtue Of law that your liberty is Sc
cured. 1t is by the same law that
schools have been established for your
children; that churches stand for your
woship; that you may live in peace,
unmolested and without fear; that you
may own and run your stores; that
you may own and operate your mines;
tnat you may own and cultivate your
farms; That you may labor for liv-
Ing, and live without fear.
IL a party whose leaders apparently
nave SO little respect for law is to be
returned to and perpetuated in power,
you might as we'll burn your court
houses where your courts are held.
You might as well destroy your clerk
offices where your deeds are recorded.
You might as well close your schools
where your children are educated; for
one innovation and one violation will
follow upon the heels of another in
novation and another violation, until
at last your rights of property, of life
and liberty will
Be No Longer Respected.
Lis is fight for constitutional
government not only in the nation, but
in the State"
He likewise reviewed the acton of
the Republican leaders in the recent
Republican primaries in the counties
OF Kanawha and Fayette, showing
that they had the same arbitrary dis
position toward their fellow Republi-
cans that they have toward the people
at large.

Martinsburg people are excited over
the possibility that they will soon
number among their inhabitants
genuine multi-millionaire John Mil
Ter, poor farmer, living about two
miles from town, is the claimant to an
estate in England, which is said to be
valued at over sixty million dollars.
He has had attorneys at work on the
case for some time, both in this coun-
try and in England, and he has him
self had conference with the British
Ambassador, Sir Julian Pauncefote,
concerning the matter
1t seems that over a hundred years
ago one of his ancestors died, leaving
his estate tied up by will which pro-
vided that after the lapse of a hundred
years the estate and its accumulations
should go to the heirs of the daughter
of the man who made the will. She
married and came to America and
John Miller has traced through her
his relationship to the maker OF the
will, and has, it is said, established his
claim to the property. The hundred
years will be up on the goth of this
month, and Miller says he Va. then re-
ceive $34,000,000 He says that will
be only about half the estate, but that
he has agreed to let the rest remain in
England for five more years.
For a long time no one placed any
credence in what he said about the
fortune he was going TO get, but since
his attorneys have looked into the
matter the people begin to believe, as
his attorneys say that he will get the
money.
Already he has sent and received sew
eral cablegrams in regard to the mat
ter and has sent money for the revenue
stamps to be placed upon the docu-
ments transferring the property to him.
The money and title to property should
reach him some time this month.

And While Under it's Influence, Conn
mitted Theft-An American WOm-
an i'm Trouble in london.

LONDON, July 1L-Caroline e. Keyes
pleaded guilty in the Marylebene Police
Court yesterday to the charge of stealing
a gold watch, a bracelet hair brush and
articles of clothing of the aggregate value
of e22 from rooms in Norfolk Mansions
Hotel, where she had been staying When
the robberies were reported the police
interrogated Miss Keyes, who after
series of denials to the questions with
which she was piled for two hours, final
~ opened her trunk and displayed the
missing articles. Her explanation was
that she had been drinking brandy, and
while under the influence of the liquor
took the property. When she realized the
enormity of her act the next morning she
tried to replace the stolen property but
was unable to gain access to the rooms
she had robbed. In the course of the
hearing Miss Reyes said she was an
American and had come to London TO
attend the Worlds Christian Endeavor
convention as a delegate from a church
in Minnesota. She had come to dissem-
mate the gospel, she said and while it
was true she took the things, she was
not guilty in her heart of stealing. for
she meant TO restore the property if she
had the chance. Ultimately Miss Keves.
who said she was without money. was
remanded to allow her to call witnesses
as to her character Miss Keyes had pre-
viously stayed at the Hotel Cecil and the
Metropole.
