OUTSIDE INFLUENCE GOT
JDDGESK|P FOR KELLER.
FAMOUS KING LAND CASE
KILLED HIM OFF.
ELLIOTT N0RTHCOTT LOOMS UP
AS A COMMANDING FIGURE IN WEST
VIRGINIA REPUBLICAN POLITICS.

Special to the Register
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Scott was at the White House to-day
with B. F. Keller and Ex-Governor At
kinson. the newly appointed judge
and district attorney, respectively, Of
the new federal district of West Vir-
ginia
The new appointees were presented
to the President and expressed their
thanks for their appointment. The West
Virginia appointments were not an
nounced but will be in day or two.
The situation in West Virginia poll
tics here is still complicated. 1t now
turns out that at the wind-up, Vinson,
jackson and Keller were seriously con-
sacred for the federal judgeship. wi.a
the presidential preference in favor of
Vinson. At the last moment, however,
Charleston influence, acting through
Secretary Root, nephew OF Col. But
terick, was thrown against Vinson be-
cause of his connection with the cele-
brated King land suit, and as a result
Keller, the Pennsylvania backed by the
influence of Pennsylvania and the Nor
folk & Western coal interests, was APP
pointed.
This is the inside story, and as re-
suit Elliott Northeott. of Huntington,
has become one of the most prominent
figures in State politics to-day.
When it was seen that the judgeship
would rot be his, Mr.. Northcott was Of
fered the consulship to Buenos Ayres.
So much pressure was brought to bear
upon him by frineds, who knew the flu
ture of State politics that he yester-
day refused that position, and is to-day
considered the Republican leader for
the Governorship of West Virginia in
1904. Backed by the influence of both
Sectt and Elkins, who are avowedly
for him, his nomination is assured.
The consulship to Buenos Ayres has
been tenderded to James Kelsey Hall,
of Wheeling, now in this city, in re-
Spouse to telegram, but it is thought
that Mr.. Hall, too, will decline the pro-
ferred honor.
1t has been settled that while for
mer sheriff of Mcdowell county will
be Judge Keller's apprentice as district
clerk, Charles Kefauver will be made
circuit clerk. 1t is probable that D. E.
Hughes, brother of Congressman
Hughes, will be chef clerk in Marshal
Thompson's Office.
