and his cross-examinaiion was resumed.
Governor Thomas read from testimony
given by Robinson at "A hearing in 1900,

concerning which he was examined in
this case. Three or -four excerpts were

the matter as his testimony.
At the conclusion Of the reading Coy

Now, Mr.. Robinson, il the Blue X

Laura A. Stiles, the young woman,
who created such genuine sensation
by cruelty DESERVING her three weeks
old babe in the Stamm Hotel about
three weeks ago, has repented Of her
act and now wants her child restored
to her. The Humane society, which
assumed charge of the infant when it
was discovered, has refused to grant
the mothers request because of the
fact that there exists no doubt but
that the woman deserted the babe.
I'M Stiles, a brother Of the young

his home at Blacksville, W. Va. He
evidently came here with the inten-
tion of securing the possession of the
little waif and having it restored to
his sister, but the decision of the HUI

good.
Stiles called on Humane officer Sam
Darrah and stated his mission, adding
for effect that the young mother was
almost wild with grief, but the cir
cumstances appeared in an unfavorable
light and as the child has been adopted

SHEPHERDsrowN, w. Va. June Is
The wild excitement caused by
the charges made by Prof. z. F.
Goodwin against his music teacher,
Miss Saione Wingate, has spent
itself, and comparatively speaking,
@Alps quiet along the Potomac to-
night" There are no more treats
of mob violence, and the chances are
that nothing OF riotous nature will
occur.
The climax In the trouble, SO far
as the school is concerned, came on
Monday morning. Regent Harry
Snyder, appeared at the chapel ex-
ercises. A number of the people OF
the town appeared with him. The
student body was there, tho prom
inent men had tried to keep them
away and break up the school. Mr..
Snyder aros and in speech full of
feeling, declared that Miss Wingate
was as pure as the morning light. as
unsullied As the sunshine after a
summer shower. He compared her
to the Hebrew children that the
fiery furnace and caGe out IN
harmed, without even the smell Of
smoke upon their garments.
The loyalty Of the students to the
principal and their school, for the
first time asserted itself. AS one
person, they rushed upon the stage
gathered around Goodwin, and beg
ged his permission to pitch his pers
ecutors out of the window. This
was the first pronounced opposition
to the course against Goodwin, and
since that time the tide has turned
preceptibly In his favor.
Ninety-five per cent of the stu
dents have signed petition and
sent is to the regents stating that
Prof Goodwin has been a capable
well. loved and efficient principal
an6 that they believe him to have
done at all times, his duty and re
quest that he be returned to Shep-
herd College as principal.

ed to that city. Regent Snyder IL
now out of town attending the Nor
NAL school commencements.
Miss Wingate, was appointed to q
position in the school two years age
on the recommendation of Regent
Snyder. Up until recently, nothing
more than idle gossip has been said
in regard and her character. Good
win received several anonymous let
tiers, and number of statements
which lead him to start the investi-
cation. He asked Miss Wingate te
resign. She refused. He took the
matter to Regent Snyder and the
scandal became public. Business
men held meetings, people from the
county flocked in, mob violence was
threatened, and twice Goodwin was
given notice to leave town in "a
hours under penaltyof death. Gov
White ordered guards for his pro.
lection, who have been on duty, day

Everything Lovely.

The Commencement exercises at the
University at Morgantown mark the
end of another year in the history OF
this institution. The past year has
been one OF most successful, and, with
a single exception, which was trifling,
there have been no internal dissen-
sions or jealousies to disturb or en-
barrass the progress of the school.
The year speaks well for the manage
ment and shows that it is satisfactory
to both the patronage and the state.
With the continuance Of prevalent
conditions it is on the road to greater
success and nothing should be permit
ed to block the way. Clarksburg Tele-

SPEAKS FOR THE DAiRYMEN.
Henry Wattersome Defends them From
all Guilt In Causing Fever.

To the Editor OF The New Dominion.
1t has ever been the custom for the
guilty to seek to shift their blame TO
the shoulders OF the innocent. How
ever much the dairymen OF Morgan
town and vicinity may have for which
to answer upon the score OF uncieanli-
ness, adulteratiop, and criminal extor-
tion, at least the blood Of the typhoid
victims is not upon their hands.
Rather let Us continue the policy Of
attributlng the disease to the sewers;
it is less cowardly, as it hurts them
none, and besides, gullible public is
always ready to believe in the efficacy
OF smell as a producer of typhoid
fever.

The LAW DEBATE.
Young Lawyers Discuss the
Very Live Question of Strikes.
s'ean Congress or the State LegisIa-
ture Prevent or Control strikes s''-
EverIy, linn, Hiteshew and Dural
Made Strong Arguments Good Mu-

The annual law school debate wa
held 10 Commencement Hall Friday
evening, beginning at $50. The ex-
ercises were opened with an organ
solo by Miss Emile jerks Bray OF the
S, hool of Music.
The question fdf debate was: ssCan
Congress or the State Legislature pre-
vent OF control strikes?D The dis
cussion was opened on the Affirmative
by e. NJ. EVERY.
Mr.. Eyerly endeavored to show that
strikes could be controlled by compul-
sorry orbitration. He was followed on
the negative by L. d. linn who, after
tracing the history OF strikes from the
time Of the ancient Egyptians, argued
that the only way for congress or leg
islatuTes TO control strikes was by
compulsory arbitration, and that this
could not exist, the terms being 10
themselves contradictory.
II. L. Duval continued the negative
side Of the discussion contendinE that
no higher power had the right to in
terfere with ones personal liberty,
that an individual must be allowed to
make up his own mind as to whether
be will work for certain SUN.
II. O. Hiteshew closed the discus
sion with very carefully prepared
and we'll delivered address. The
trend OF bis argument was that the
constitution nowhere prohibits COM
pulsory arbitration when the arbitra-
tion is concerning matters that affect
the entire state or nation. He also
offered two solutions OF defensive
nature: The checking OF Immigration,
and thus the checking OF the compe-
titiou OF cheap foreign labor with
American labor. And the sending OF
honest men to the Legislature and
Congress, men who are not owned by
the corporations and who will there
fore continually work for the better
ment of those people who engage In
strikes.
The debate was greeted by rather
small audience. Professor Brooke pre-
sided In the absence OF Judge John
son. There was no decision rendered.
The debaters showed good reasoning
ability, but there was lacking that
com bative element which SO frequent
ly characterizes occasions OF this ma
ture and which 60 frequently height
ems the interest for loyers of argu-
ment. The exercises were closed with
three vocal selections by Miss Harriet
Winans. Miss Winan's singing is
always greatly appreciated and this
was OF an unusually bright order.
