The item given below appeared In
a local paper on Saturday evening.
It was very carefully written with a
view TO making the Impression that
1t was news. but IT was several days
old. On Tuesday. the West yirginan
gave the "rumor" which the nearby
papers have been handling" and it
wasn't so much of rumor after all
as Senator Swisher at the close of
the stockholders meeting of the
West Yirginian Publishing Company
on last Monday evening publicly in
troduced to all present Mr.. Hartley
as his chief clerk. On Tuesday we
gave the account found below, and
on the next Saturday our neighbor
gave what it knew of the "rumor"
as follows:
with becoming thoughtfulness
and with strict regard for accuracy,
the papers of Fairmont have been let
ting the journals of nearby towns
handle rumor that is to the effect
that K. F. Hartley, one of the most
prominent members of the local bar,
is 10 be the chief clerk for Secretary
of State-elect c. w. Swisher after
after that gentleman assumes his Of
flee at Charleston.
while Mr.. Hartley is in town,
the Times has been unable to see
either him or Mr.. Swfsher for a state
ment.s but we have been reliably in
formed that Mr.. Hartley has been Of
fered the position by Senator Swish
er and that he is carefully consider
ing the acceptance.-Fairm Times.

ring that he will make a most COM
petent official. Mr.. Hartley is to be
commended upon his preferment,
and Secretary-elect Swisher is to be
commended for his wisdom in max
ing the selection.

Cost of Presidential Tours.

Public interest in the free use OF rail-
roads by President Roosevelt at the same
time that he is urging the enactment OF
more stringent laws for the regulation OF
traffic has been intensified by the publi-
cation of an article in the Railroad Ga
zette, pointing out that railroads violat-
ed the interstate commerce law every
time they carried the President for moth
ing or for nominal charge.
The coming tour of the President to
the South, beginning October Is, will
cover about 1000 miles. 1t will include
Richmond, Va, and Raleigh, N. C.,
and the homestead where his mother was
born, at Roswell, Ca; Atlanta, Mem
phis and other places on the route. lhe
trip will take about 10 days.
The President probably will have on
his tour a private car, baggage car, two
sleepers aud dining car. For such a
service the railroads ordinarily charge
about 50. so a mile, which would bring
the ordinary charge for such a trip for
transportation alone up to about So
600.
If there are 20 persons in the party
and usually there are quite that many
on the Presidents train--the cost OF
meals will be about $50 day, or for 10
davs, $500. Thus the ordinary expenses
of trip, if paid for at the "open rate"
that is to say, the rate that under the
interstate law the railroads would turn
over the car to any civiian-the cost
would be, at the lowest figure, $4,000.
The Southern Railway will have
charge Of the President during his Octo-
Der trip. 1t is preparing to give the
finest possible service, and the tram
probably will be a superb affair. If this
railroad made the nominal charge" OF
$50 a day, which the Railroad Gazette
intimates was the offer of the railroad
that managed the Presidents trip to
Texas and Colorado and which was re-
iectel, then the Presidents bill for the
Journey would BE- only $500, instead
OF $5, 600.
Iuouiries were made yesterday of Of
fcers of the Southern Railway as to what
the arrangement was that would govern
the payment on this southern trip. 1t
WIS said that the arrangements had been
made by the executive officers, who were
out of the city, and the added statement
was made that the Southern Railway
was very glad to carry the President at
the figure that had been agreed on, be-
cause it would result in larger passen-
ger traffic t, the southern cities than
had ever been known before. The state
ment was made, however, that the Presi-
dent was paying for the train.
During the tour of the South the
Presidents special will go over the
tracks of the Southern, the Louisville
and Nashville and the Iron Mountain
railroads.
Since he has been in the White House,
Mr.. Roosevelt has taken almost as many
trips as all the other Presidents combin'
ed. He always travels in a private car

Raid On Gamblers.

Police, with axes, chopped their way
through the walls into a poolroom at
lie University Place, New York, yes
terdav, aud captured 200 men in the
room. This raid followed upon an ap-
peal which Police Commissioner Nc
Adoo made Thursday to the Western
Union Telegraph Company and to the
New York Telephone Company for as
sistance in locating pool-rooms. A
squad OF police waited near ll6 UNI
versity Place yesterday, while a detec-
tive entered and placed bets on the
races. He signaled two other detectives
in hiding on a roof which overlooked a
window of the poolroom. Crawling
along window ledges these officers
reached the windows where they had
seen the signal and jumped into the
room. The trio Of detectives, with
drawn revolvers, then held 2OO
patrons of the place at bay, them
selves caplives with their own prisoners,
locked inside of a system of doors which
had been bolted as the officers jumped
through the window. For half an hour
the imprisoned detectives stood off an
angry, threatening crowd, while the
squad of police outside chopped at th'
doors. The walls proved to be more
yielding than the steel-ribbed doors, anC
the police finally entered by cutting
hole through the plaster. Cnarlei
Davis was arrested, charged with being
the proprietor, and three other meI
were held with ihim. The rest were al
lowed to go. Telephones, telegraph in
struments and other psraphernalia wer'
confscated by the police. A rubber tub
so feet long, with whistle attached t
the poolroom end of it, led to the stree
below. The detectives tore off tn
whistle before the lookout at the othe
end had sighted the attacking squad o
police.

CHANGES II
Judge Gunnison ReVerses
 Brown in WraDgell Case

Judge Gunnisou has decided the fam ous wrangell sawmill receiVership case, holding for Robert Reid, original administrator of the estate of Rufus Sylvester, vacating the order removing him and appointing L. H. Wakefield as administrator de bonis non. The suit of L. II. Wakefield, as administrator of the estate of Rufus Sylvester, against Mary A. Wilson and Thomas McHugh, as administrators of the estate Of Thomas H. Wilson, formerly partner of Rufus Sylvester, for an accounting was dismissed, and, consequently, the receivership arising under that suit terminated.
 The decision is sweeping and undoes as far as possible everything Judge Brown had done in the matter,
 The resignation of J. A. Hellenthal, who had been appointed receiver by Judge Brown, was accepted last spring and c. E. Davidson, who had been agreeu upon by all the parties to the action as his successor, is the man who will now wind up his affairs and turn the property over to Robert Reid and Mary Wilson A. Wilson ard Thomas McHugh.
 This is one of the cases thas stirred up much of the opposition that resulted iu the removal of Judge Brown from office. It was Stubbornly contested. Judge Delaney and atterward Robert W. Jennings and J. J. Boyce represent ed those litigants, who have been finally successful.

THE MARYLAND AMENDMENT

Late accounts show that the defeat of the negro disfranchisement amend ment in Maryland was due to the for, eigu vote. The amendment provided that the direct decendants of those in the state who were electors prior to the granting of the suffrage to the negroes were eliminated from its restrictions. The purpose was to disfranchise Hitter ate negroes, only, as voters. The effect, however, was to take the ballot away from foreigners and the children of those who come to the United States since 1869, who can neither read nor write, but to let the man of native born parents alone. This was looked upon by the foreign born population as dis criminatiou a~d it's members, demo crats ard republicans, voted with the negroes. This action of the foreign voters and the inability of the demo cratic machine to make a party issue of it caused the defeat of the amendment. As it was iJ got a large majority of the white vote,
