STANFORD TEACHER OUsTED.
Intimates That Mrs. stanford Forced
Him out at the Dictation Of CONNER
cial Interests

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov l7-Dr. Ed
ward Ross, head professor in the de-
partmeat of economics and sociology
at Stanford university, has resigned.
In his letter of resignation he intima-
ted that he was being forced out Of
the university by Mrs. Stanford who
had taken ex septions to his public adj
dresses. He said that Mrs. Stanford
was prompted by powerful persons and
commercial interests in San Francisco.
President Jordan to-day said:
"There is not the slightest evidence
that DR.. Ross Is a martyr to freedom
of speech, nor that his withdrawal
has been due to any pressure of CAPT.
tai or other sinister influence. Prof.
Howard in addressing the history
class at the university to-day, spoke
upon "Free Speech, J" saying:
e 81 do not bow down to st. Market
street. do not doff my hat to the
six companies, neither am afraid OF
the Standard Oil Company"

soon as possible, on the work now be-
ing prosecuted near Shepherds Mills,
in Marshall county.
Not only will the railroad proper be
built at a cost of So, 500, 600 TO 81, 900, :
900. but in addition the coal cempan-
les that are allied with the railroad
will expend fully as large sum in
buying coal lands In Marshall county,
of that state, and in Greene county
Pa, and ia developing these lands.
The coal, he asserts, has been analyz-
ed and pronounced an excellent cox

CLAMOR FOR THE SPOILS.
West Virginia to BE Redistiicted and
Governors Salary Increased.

When the State supreme court OF
appeals is re-organized a majority of
the judges will be Republicans. Thu
most prominently mentioned in con-
nection with the chief clerkship is
Charles Henning, of Wheeling, who is
clerk of the circuit court of Ohio
county.
The Republican leaders say that
the redistricting of the State by the
next Legislature will be along geo.
graphical lines. Delegate districts
will probably be abolished and each
county will be given at least one del
egate. The membership OF the State
Senate will be increased, 20 members
being considered too low. Among
other important legislation projected
is the enactment of a new election
law One of the requirements will be
the registration Of voters before cleo
tion day. An effort will also be made
to increase the salary OF the governor
from 81, 700 to $1,000.

A Card From Mr.. Cotton.
ditor of the New DOMINION:

To the Editor of the New DOMINION:
/ find in the Evening Post of this
city, of the 18th instant the following
local:
"Rev. Holden, who was shot at
Matewan by an irate husband, is a
member or the NJ T.. conference,
statements TO the contrary notwith-
standing, and bis name appears In the
conference minutes. 1t Is quite pos
sible for one member of the con ference
not to know each and every one of the
others. So that settles that matter. !"
/ am one of the Presiding Elders of
the conference. No such man is on
our conference ROLL The Presiding
Elder Of Huntington district employed
a local preacher OF that name to
preach at Matewan, as a supply, .
since the adjournment OF the annual
conference in September. But he is
not member of our conference and is
not amenable TO it. Before the Min
utes were printed his name was fur
nished to the Conference Secretary as
a supply" The conference has
nothing to do with his employment.
We have in our conference twenty or
more men employed as supplies" by
Presiding Elders, none CT whom have
any membership in, or connection
with, the conference. They are local
preachers, not generally ordained, and
are usually found residing in the fields
in which Presiding Elders give them
temporary work. This man Holden
has been SO employed less than two
months. / herewith send to you the
conference Minutes" just published.
The alphabetical roll of members may
be found from pages 10 to IL inclu-
sive. That is the place to look for
conference members and not among
the appointment supplies.

FEELING GOOD.
Post Master Fitch Elated Over
His Success.

He Succeeded I'm Getting Free Delivery
Showed Ahead with Very Little
Tr0nble-Carriers TO Give Bond-In-
spect0r Will Soon be Here to Lay out
Routes aud Attend to Other Matters.
DR.. James p. Fitch flushed with
his success at Washington where he
had been to look after the establish
ment of free delivery in Morgantown
He is feeling very good over it and
he has right to feel that way. The
department had not taken any steps
whatever to start it and if the visit
had not been made there is no tell
ing when the start would have been
made
As soon as it was called to the at
tention of the department they call
ed for the list of eligibles and the
civil service commission sent them
over Immediately. The order was at
once prepared and December first
named as the day of which the sys
tenn was to go into effect.
The carriers have not yet given
bond bnt they will do so in short
time They must have some trust
company to become their surety.
individuals are not taken by Uncle
Sam in his business. This will be
attended TO as soon as the bonds are
sent here by the department
Morgantown is very fortunate in
getting free delivery as we are far
below the requirement in regard to
population and it is only the fact
that the business done here is very
large and constantly increasing that
we got it at all
The post master general Mr..
Smith has recommended very large
increase in the appropriation for
rural delivery and it is altogether
likely that in case it is successful
there will be several other rural
routes established here in the near
future.
Inspector Sam Hooten will probab-
ly be here in the course of week to
map out the routes for free delivery
in town and to decide on the number
and time of collection and deliveries.
This is all that remains to be at
tended to before it is started.

/. The famous Brothers Roger, who
are to appear at the Opera House
shortly, in the acrobatic farce frolic,

greatest pantomimic and acrobatic
actors in the world 1t is difficult
to class their entertainment under
any particular title, but .'but spec
tacular comedy" seems to fit it best
1t is novelty in its line, and there
is nothing else quite like it on the
road The pantomimic and spectacu-
lar features are prominent but there
is an abundance of farce comedy, in
the line of laughable acrobatie feats
and grotesque dancing. The trick

DAYTON WANTS BIGGER NAVY.
Thinks Americas Naval Powers should
BE at Least Half of EngIand's Sl00-

Suitable Sum TO Keep America Sup-

AsHINGToN, ID. C., Nov. To-
Representative DAYTON, OF West Vir.
gina, a member OF the House Naval
Affairs Committee. in discussing
needed legislation said:
II believe that the United States
should have a navy whose strength
should be at least half that Of Eng
land, other countries are increasing
their navies rapidly and the United
States cannot afford TO be in the rear
of the procession. We can afford to
spend approximately as much on the
navy as on our army, and with 800.
100000 per annum to expend on the
navy we should have one which
should be source of pride and
qualification to every American.
Spending money on the navy is a
good way to put it in circulation,
for all of it goes to American ship.
yards or foundries and to American
workmen.'
Mr.. Dayton said he thought a lib
eral appropriation would be made
during the coming session for the
construction of battleships and that
from tour to six battleships or crui.
sers should be authorized. Speak
ing Of armor plate, Mr.. Dayton said ::
-Four hundred ard seventy five
dollars was not too large price to
pay and If the Secretary OF the Navy
had secured contract at that price
he had done better than expected. :

POSTMASTER In JAIL.
\ J. Descent of Be llevernon
Arrested on Capias.

Aisappropriati0a OF Funds Charged
Complaint is Made by Heirs OF an Es-
tate Situated in Fayette and Vest
moreiand Counties He Is Relieved
of the Pest Office.
Upon capias issues at the in
stance of the heirs of Joseph Azle
vandre. deceased, A. j. Dessent Of
Belleseron, postmaster at that place
was arrested and lodged in Jail says
the News Standard
Joseph Azlevandre was one of he
passengers on the Inflated passen-
ger steamer La Bourgogne, which
toundered off the coast of New
Foundland on July 4, 1898, when be
was drowned. The deceased was the
owner of property In Bellevernon
aud also in estmoreland county.
He was unmarried and left as his
sole heirs at law a brother in Paris,
France. sister in Gigon, Spain, and
brother at Jeanette, Westmore4
land county, Pa. Shortly after his
death the brothers and sister of the
deceased executed power OF attor-
ney to Descent, whom they knew
well and had confidence in, to rent
or sell the property Of the deceased
IN Beilevornon, consisting of house
and lot. Descent also took out let
tiers of administration on the estate
of the deceased in Westmoreland
county. Acting under the power of
attorney Descent collected certain
rents and then sold the property in
Bellevernon, thus realizing the sum
of 1920. This amount it is alleged
Descent fraudulently appropriated
aud converted to his own use, ex-
eept the sum of 500 which he paid
To the brother OF the deceased living
at Jeanette.
Suit was brought to recover the
money SO appropriated and convert
ed by Descent, and Judgment was
entered against him for the amount
thereof with interest, being $3, 264.
so The money was not paid and
Descent was arrested on capias
and placed in Jail where he will have
to remain until he pays the money
or gives proper security for the pay
ment thereof.
Descent also got into trouble in
the settlement of the estate in West
moreland county. He was arrested
there on an attachment for contempt
of court in failing to obey a eta
ton issued by the court, and was
made to pay fine before being re-
leased from custody. Attorneys
Cooper Il Van Swearingen have
charge of the matter in this county,
and Attorneys Williams, Sloan a
Griffith Of Greensburg represent the
estate in Westmoreland county.
Mr.. Descent has for years been
well known citizen of Bellevernon
and nothing rejecting on his integ
rity or standing as citizen has
ever before been alleged. He was
active in politics and early in the
Mckinley administration was ap-
pointed postmaster OF BelIevernon.
The department has recently had
some trouble in having him send in
his reports, and on Tuesday r. @.
inspector was there and as result
of his visit f. J. Corwin was placed
in charge of the office by Mr.. Des-
sent's bondsmen
A News Standard reporter called
on Mr.. Descent at the jail and asked
him for his statement but he refus-
ed to talk.

The Bros. Roger in Next Door at opera
House.

1t is only necessary To announce
the fact that the Brothers Roger are
engaged in performance, and every
one will know that it will be a funny,
veIy funny show. Their new acrobat
ic farce frolic, Next Door," is great
production, and If laughter and ap-
plause be true criticism, the perform
ance is OF the finest order. Certain
~ the acrobatic part of the piece, and
that constitutes the play itself, was
splendid and exceedingly novel. The
fun is clean and bright, and the knock
about rough and tumble parts were
all right, at least the gods thought so
and they surely are the best judges.
