W. W. GRAVES, UNIQUE JUDGE
Smoking is Permitted During the
Trial at Jefferson City.

on any OF the circuit benches in Mis-
souri, are as unique in their manner
81 holding court as Judge Walter W.
Graves. of Butler, who is presiding
over the trial here OF Senator Frank
H. Farris for boodling. So far as
keeping the strictest order and quiet
ia the courtroom is concerned no
Judge could be more exacting, but it
is on allowing smoking in his court
that he differs from Others. An Incl
lent that happened yesterday will
illustrate this, even il it did give
Sheriff Smith, of this county, the
greatest shock that he has had since
he has been in office.
The Judge had mounted the bench,
but the jury had not yet been brought
in Calling two or three newspaper
correspondents to him, the Judge said
with laugh:
II have a bone to pick with The
Star, 1t said once that held court
like they do down in Arkansas.
"Yes," answered one OF the report.
ers; they say down in Butler that
you are on your good behavior over
here"
"That means that you would like
to smoke, l suppose. Well, | have
no objection to anyone smoking in
my courtroom"
The trial began. Clouds OF smoke
lowered over the press table. Sheriff
Smith saw them. At first he was 40
shocked that he forgot to act. Then
q deputy hurried forward.
you'll have to stop smoking he
said.
"But the Judge gave US permits
sion" was the answer.
He went away and consulted with
his superior. He returned.
"lou'll have to cut that smoking
out. The sheriff says so.
But the Judge says no."
AMY orders are from the sheriff, :"
said the deputy, with dignity, land
what he says goes.
"But there is no higher power on
earth, in a courtroom, than the Judge
md he says we may smoke"
You'll have to cut it out Just the
same" once more he departed,
Then Il thought seized him. He
mounted the bench and spoke to
Judge Graves. The word came back
Il have no objection to smoking
in my courtroom
While these unique characteristics
Are noticeable, yet to person accus-
toned to courts and court ways,
Judge Graves makes IA most favor
able i'm, ,ression in the conduct of a
trial. He is an attentive listener,
quickin his rulings and having ruled,
ne is positive in the attitude he has
taken. OF the bench he is courteous
and magnetic, and it is not to be
wondered at that he is a formidable
factor in the supreme court race.

SHEPHERDSTOWN EXCITED.
Over Sensational AFFAIR Involving Teach
ers In Normal school-PrincipaI
Attended by Guard

Shepherdstown has been the scene OF
great excitement for the past few days
and serious trouble is expected to be
the outcome. The town was thrown
in the greatest excitement imaginable
IN Saturday afternoon during the
Confederate Memorial exercises at
Elmwood cemetery, when the news
came that two prominent married
women had met in the square ana a
fight ensued.
The trouble was started. it is claim
ed, BY the. principal of the Normal
school, Prof. Goodwin, correcting one
of the lady teachers under him for
unbecomino conduct. The lady sent
for her father and brother, who are
now there to defend her A number
of the residents of the town are also
| OH her side. The principal has on his
side the majority of the pupils Of the
school,
During the fight one of the women
had her clothing torn from her person
and received the worst Of the fight
throughout. When the word was re-
eived at the cemetery, the exercises
came to sudden end and the crowd
gathered at the scene Of the trouble.
Sheriff Billmyer was on hand with
deputy sheriff Conrad and quieted the
trouble in a way. The trouble al
though is far from being at an end and
something serious is expected to take
place at any time. 1t is reported
that the husband of the woman that
had the better of the fight has notified
Prof. Goodwin that he must leave
town or he will shoot him. For the
past week the professor has been ac-
companied bv guard consisting OF
boys of the senior class of the school,
to protect hin, from snv harm. The
work Of guarding the professor il
strictly matter between the bows OF
the school. thev having declared that
no harm shall come to him if they can
prevent it.
All seem to think that the trouble
has just begun and for this reason the
Sheriff wired Gov. A. b. White and
he received instructions to order out
the Shepherd College cadets to stoI
any trouble that might take place.
| There were about 4nextra officers on
duty Saturday night to prevent ans
trouble during the night. Word was
received from there this morning that
things had quieted slightly. but that II
was liable to break ont at any time.
| The trouble in the scisool is OF vers
serious nature and meeting of the
board of regents was held there last
week, but no definite steps were taken.
