MAJOR RATHBONE ON TRIAL.
He is Charged With Being Implicated in
the Cuban Postal Frauds.

He is Charged With Being Implicated in
the Cuban Postal Frauds.
The daily press for some days past
has contained mention of the trial
of Mai. Estes g. Rathbone. now on
trial in Havana, Cuba, charged with
being implicated in the Cuban postal
frauds. In the proceedings of the
trial on Tuesday a sensational scene
occurred when Reeves, who is also
implicated was on the stand and
charged Rathbone with attempting
to induce him to enter the conspir-
acy to defraud. When Rathbone
took the stand he emphatscallv de-
MED Reeves statement, and accused
the latter of originating the conspir-
acy.
To this Reeves reiterated his accus-
alton, whereupon Rathbone exclaim-
ed: You're a liar and then in
more polite language said: Would
you swear to that statement, know
ing the penalty was perjury" Reeves
then answered by asking Rathbone
if he would swear to his statement if
he knew the penalty was perjury.
Rathbone again answered, and,
shaking his finger at Reeves, exclaim-
ed: God have mercy on your souln'
Reeves was thoroughly cowed when
he left the stand.
In the early part of the Reeves tes-
timony at the resumption of the trial
he testified as to the relative discrep-
ancies between Neely's accounts and
those of the country postmasters.
After Reeves left the stand Rath-
bone, resumed his evidence and testi-
to certain checks and fiscal claims
that were issued in duplicate and
signed by Reeves. Rathbone denied
that he ever gave Reeves permission
to sign his name.
All through the trial Rathbone cor
tinues to be the most composed man
in the court room, although physi-
clans say he is i'll enough to be in bed
From the start he has shown wonder
full familiarity with the case, and in
every instance is able to give prompt
answer and when necessary can pro-
| duce endless dates and figures to back
him.
Major Rathbone was resident OF
Oakland few years ago and owned
the house now occupied by H. l..
Grant on Oak street

Died AWAY From Home.

The Bloomington correspondent of
the Piedmont independent contrib
uted the three following news items
to its columns last week:
Miss Nellie Biggs, aged about six
teen years, who eloped on Christmas
Day with Mr.. Jack Aronholt and
came to Bloomington to be married
left for Pa. soon after. We have been
informed that the legal proceedings
threatened by the parents of the
bride on account of her age, has been
stopped, and that the happy couple
will soon return to the neighborhood
where they have lived SO long and
where both bride and groom have a
host of friends and acquaintance
who wish them well.
VIM. mcMullen, an old man from
Barton, came to the home of Thomas
A. Michael, about o'clock Saturday
morning last, at which place he died,
at o'clock the same morning This
aged man, who was n years old, had
lost his way while crossing Savage
mountain, and being unable to get
his horse over the rocks and timber,
led the poor beast to tree and wan
dered on, on foot all the weary night,
until he came to Mr. Michaels as
above noted, cold, wet and worn out.
The horse had not been found at last
accounts. The remains of the de-
ceased were taken to Barton, his for
mer home, by Undertaken Dawson, of
that place.
A representative of the Calvert Coal
company, owning a large tract of coal
land along Savage river above Crab
tree, was in town Tuesday, for the
purpose of obtaining information as

Facts That Were Not Facts.

To the Editor OF The Republican.
In the issue of THE REPUBLICAN of
Jan. End was a contribution headed
"A few facts presented by teacher
for the benefit of his fellow workers. >
We presume that a great many of
your readers who are not acquainted
with the circumstances and are not
well informed as to what elements
are filling the public schools of our
county, perhaps they think that they
were really facts as people gener-
ally say figures can't lie.
In the first place Mr.. Teacher starts
out by saying that last spring he at
tended normal, paid for his board
books, etc. He did attend normal.
but only about Il week, paid 81 tut
ton, and as he lives only short dis
tance from the school he attended he
boarded at home He therefore paid
out 81 tuition instead of IS and paid
no board. How about that? Your
facts stated that you paid $50 for
board.
Again, while his fellow teachers
were attending normal and trying to
qualify themselves for the high posi-
ton of teacher he was travelling the
country over as Il book agent.
He purchased one book during the
term of normal, kept it till the close,
then asked the person of whom he
had purchased it to take it back.
which lie did. His conveyance to and
from institute was his own RIG and a
party drove him up free of charge,
came after him again at the close of
institute. His boarding at institute,
1919, was certainly very cheap. His
boarding during the term has not
cost him S1S of his salary for he is
boarding at home. His salary for the
first term he gives as $25 per month
for q months or $62.50 in all. He is
receiving a salary of $50 per month;
therefore receives $75 instead of 49,. 80.

Extensive Mines to BE Opened in Garrett
County, Nd.

The Meadow Mountain Coal and
Coke Company is new concern re-
Gently organized to open extensive
coal mines in Garrett county, Md.
The head of the company is w. A.
Morgart, of Cumberland, Md, and
associated with him are John A.
Roebling & Sons, of Trenton, n. j.,
and other Eastern capitalists. Roeb-
ling u Sons are the most extensive
manufacturers of steel wire cables in
America, and they are now furnish
ing the big cables for the large sus-
pension bridge being built over East
River, at New York harbor. A large
rubber manufacturing concern at
Trenton is also interested in the
Meadow Mountain Coal and Coke
Company, and the company alone
will consume daily from 1000 to 500
tons of it's own coal.
A mining engineer, mine forman
and a crew of laborers are now on the
ground and will have a modern min
ing plant in operation at an early
date. The opening will be made on
the Manadier lands, near Jennings
Brothers extensive lumber mill, and
the coal will be shipped to market via
Jennings Brothers railroad and the
Salisbury branch of the B. d o.
The new company has oyer 5000
acres of a most excellent 4-foot vein
of coal, which can be operated by
drift openings. A spur from Jen-
nings Brothers railroad is already
completed to the place where the coal
is to be opened.
This bit of news comes direct to the
star from an official source, and it is
not simply rumor, but fact. The
new operations will mark new era
in the development of Garrett coun-
ty, and we congratulate our Southern
neighbors on their good fortune,
which will add much to the material
wealth and prosperity of Garrett
ounty.-Salisbury Star.

III his next term he Will have S70.20
to start with, instead of 1915. This,
with his salary for second term, will
give him $145.25 or S1.454 per day.
Now, Mr.. Teacher, you add the
S145.25 to what you made during the
year at canvassing books (if you are
a hustler you surely cleared very
nice sum out of it,, also what you
made off of your farm and trading
horses and see if you do not come out
as well as the majority of the people
of the county with a limited educa-
ton.
When a teacher qualities himself
for a teacher, follows it for liyeli-
hood, it is then his profession, and if
he follows it as a profession he will in
very short time work his way up
and command a large salary. Our
examiner, for example, started his
profession as teacher in Garrett
county for perhaps $25 per month.
Look at the salary he commanded in
Cumberland in his profession pre-
vious to his appointment to the posi-
ton he now occupies. There is room
for you too, Mr.. Teacher, to wend
your way up in the profession that
you may command a larger salary
also. But | am a taxpayer and for
one am opposed to be taxed higher
than what we are simply to pay farm
ers and book canvassers more money
for riding to little house in the
morning and stay there till o'clock
in the evening and ride back home.
Now Mr.. Teacher, you said we
could get one class of teachers for
from $25 to $50 per month, and ask
the question, do you want them ~
| say yes we want the teacher who is
not simply teaching for the money
