The discussion over the relation of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company and the pool
rooms has done much TO clear the air. 1t is
coming to be known that several of the directors
like Mr.. Jesup, Mr. Depew and Mr.. Schiff are
absolutely opposed to any such assistance of
criminals by the company as they find to their
surprise has been given. On the other hand, ap-
parently there some directors who are deter
mined to evade the moral question and serve
poolrooms and conspire with the gamblers 40
make lawbreaking SAFE so long as they can say
that they have not had official warning from
the police as to the character OF particular
places. If the police estimate of the number
OF poolrooms and the cost of telegraph news Is
trustworthy, the Western Union revenue from
this business must run into the millions. and 1t
is easy to understand the evasions OF the execu-
tive committees statement 1t is evident. now
ever that the administration of the company
Will have in thoroughness and good faith to sep
arate itself from everything like partnership In
crime, or lose some of the directors whose names

SPENCER SN|FFS
FOR FLESH POTS

MOTT SEEMS AHEAD

Especial to News and Observer
Washington, D. c., Feb. 10.-It appears
that Spencer Blackburn has very little
faith in the prospects Of his nomination
for Congress as he is now seeking a JOB
in Washington. He is an applicant Tor
appointment as special assistant attorney
of the Department of Justice.
The postal and Indian land fraud cases
have made necessary the appointment OF
number of special attorneys to assist
in their preparation and prosecution.
The pay is twenty dollars day While EN-
ployed. 1t is one o fthe places that Black
burn seeks Another applicant for sim
liar position is EX-Solicitor Marshall
Mott.
Though he has not yet been appointed,
the President has promised to take care
OF him, and it is believed that his ap-
pointment as special attorney will be
the result. For this reason Blackburn
chances are not considered good.
The trial OF Benjamin f. Patterson who
was arraigned at Washington North Car
olina two months ago and brought here
to answer a charge of obtaining money
on worthless drafts has been set TOR Feb.
18th, before Judge Pritchard. About tho
same time John r. Sneeden who was ar
rested in Wilmington, North Carolina,
and brought here to answer a charge oil
embezZlement will be tried. The attoT-
ney for both is r. H. Mcneil, formerly
OF Wilkesboro. Both Patterson and Sne2d-
en- have been in Jail every since their
arrest.
1t will be recalled that about a yaar
ago there was a series OF post office rob-
berries throughout North Carolina, in
nearly all of which considerable amounts
of money and stamps were stolen. For
these amounts ten postmasters have
filled claims, but few if any Of them
nave been allowed. Judge Timberakc is
here today trying to have adjusted Il
claim of this sort of between three and
four hundred dollars for the Youngsville
post Office, and r. H. Mcneil is looking
after similar claim Of over a thousand
dollars for Waynesville's postmaster and
OF $3.50 for the postmaster at Benson
Johnson county.
Col. r. w. Wharton of Washington,
North Carolina is here on "a visit to his
daughter, Mrs. G. II. Small at the Elsmer
