SLOT MACHINES QUESTION.
Now Definitely Settled SO Far as Affect
This City.

The slot machine question, so far
as it relates to Martinsburg, is def
nitely settled in favor of the seductive
and delusive devices, and the mooted
issue NAV now be relegated TO the
rear and give place to such burning
propositions as the revision of the
tariff and the age of Ann. A COM
parison of the syllabus in the recent
supreme court decision and the city
charter makes it very plain that the
local a~thorities have no power to
sr ypress the machines. The follow
ing is what the judges said:
1-Chapter ISL of the code fully
covers and includes gaming and gam
ing devices, so far as the legislature
deemed it expedient to legIslate upon
the subject. 1t specially defines what
shall be offenses Hereunder, and fixes
fines and penalties for violations
thereof.
2-Unless the charter of a city,
town or village confers upon it au-
thoritv so to do, the council has no
right or power to pass an ordinance
to regulate or prohibit gaming or
gaming devices or to prescribe and
enforce penalties for violation of
such ordinance.
City Attorner Lindsay states that
no power is granted to the city by its
Ncharter to uass prohibitive measure.
And so the question is settled until
the Legislature meets

Miss Anna Boarman Overcome by
Fumes of Gas.
Miss Anna Boarman, of South Queen
St.. was overcome by escaping gas Dur
ing her sleep Thursday mighty and but
for the providential discovery of the
presence of the deadly fumes in her
apartment, death by asphvxiation
would have undoubtedly resulted.
Miss Boarman's sleeping apartment
is directly over room which is heat
ed by stove set in the fireplace, the
heat communicating to the room
above by means of register. Dur
ing the night great volume of gas

causing Miss Boarman to sink into
deeper unconsciousness. The poison

when her labored breathing attracted
the attention of Other members of the
household. who epe ed the room to
the pure air and rescued her from
verv critical situation.
Drs. McSherry. Sites and Henshaw
were hastily summoned. and after
some effort restored the lady to con-
dition where she was pronou ueed out
of danger. Although being compelled
TO remain in bed Friday, her condition
is very satisfactory. and she will not
suffer any i'll effects as . result of her
experience.

WEST V|RG|AIA'S FUTURE
Millionaire kerens Has Confidence
in States Prosperity.
SENATOR ELKlNS' PARTNER
Vastly Interested in Developing Resources
Of the Commonwealth What He
Says About Politics.

Hon. Richard G. Kerens, If St.
Louis. Mo-. was in parkersbarg last
week Mr.. Kerens is well known to
many readers as prominent figure in
national politics and in large businss s
affairs but few know probably to what
deep extent he is associated with and
interestedin West virginia.
Mr.. Kerens has been for manv years
q member of the national republican
executive committee and as such has
rendered invaluable service to the
party. Asked as to his views on the
business outlook Mr.. Kerens said:
In my opinion there was never q
better time for money making along
conservative and legitimate business
lines than at present. My associates
and myself are putting millions into
property that / don't think We would
be able to finance or be inclined to do
if we did not have confidence in the
future of the country, especially West
Virginia. refer TO the railroad that
is being built from Clay Court House
TO Belington, in addition to building
the railroad we have taken IN all the
coal land lying along the right of wav
which makes tract of over $50, 600
acres. 1t will represent an Investment
of over ten million dollars,
Mr.. Kerens' connection with Sena.
tor Elkins dates back to the time
when as young men they both went to
New Mexico, where they met with
marked success and laid the founda-
lions for their immense fortunes. Af-
ter few years Kerens settled in Mis-
souri,, where he still resides, but sew
eral years ago he followed his friend
Elkins to West Virginia investing in
the West Virginia Central 81 Pitts
burg railroad, and at Elkins built a
summer home which has few equals
in beauty and grandeur in this or any
other country.
Speaking politically Mr.. Kerens
said:
Republican prospects were never
brighter and as member of the ma
tional committee have nothing to fear
and everv thing pleasant to anticiData
in the coming campaign. Senator
Hanna will not be a candidate for the
presidential nomination. / feel quite
sure. He considered this / think very
fully year or so ago and at that
time gave uD any such idea that he
might have had, for good and all. The
pre- sident and the members of the ma
tional committee recognizing his abili-
tv. enriched by experienced, are more
than anxious to have him remain at
the head of the committee for which
position he is SO admirably fitted. In
this connection l wish to say that in
its representative on the committee
West Virginia has, in Senator Scott
one of the very strongest men that
composes this body. His work in the
campaigns has been of such superior
character that we all feel under the
greatest obligations to him personally
and to West Virginia for putting
him where he is. hope thsre is no
danger of the republicans of this state
overlooking the main chance in fail.

in the campaign next wear. Certainly
all who are interested in the prosperi-
ty and development Of our country
agree that the republican party
should continue in power. and Ohio
has spoken unequivocally.
While / am much gratified by that
element in the result which might be
considered Personal vindication, it
does not justify the claims of my
friends with reference to the suggest
ion of my nomination for the presi-
dency. / have no personal ambition
to advance, and my desire to serve the
party constrains me to ask NV friends
not to place me in the embarrassing
position which would result from such
a movement. Please believe me to be
grateful for and deeply appreciative Of
the honor and confidence expressed.

President Roosevelt yesterday signed
the Wil5csbOrO court Dill. providing for
the holding OF additional terms OF court
in the mountainous district of western
North Carolina.

NO LEGAL REDRESS FOR
-RICH-QUICK PATRONS
Investors Suit Dismissed on Ground
That She Was Partner in Gambling.

ST. LOUIS, No. Feb. 25.-There
would seem TO be no legal redress for
the patrons OF the turf investment com
panies. The attachment suit OF Miss
Mabel Quinn against the John ]. Ryan
Stock Company, was dismissed by JUS
tice KIeiner. yesterday afternoon. upon
the plea OF Ryan's attorney that turf
investment companies were simply
gambling schemes. and that all depOs-
itors. or rather partners. in the bust
ness must have known the nature of
the business conducted.
This is regarded as the defense all
the get-rich-quick concerns will make
in the many attachment proceedings
