That Richmond Primary.

Judge S. B. Witt, of the Hastings
Court, of Richmond, refuses to permit
the publication of the minority grand
jury report, supposed TO. contain sensa-
tional revelations of irregularities and
frauds in connection with the recent
primary in Richmond. In response to
the telegram sent to him Saturday night
by Messrs. Baughman, Lathorp and
Clark requesting permission to make the
paper public Judge Witt today wired
briefly, tut to the point, "No." The
minority members of the jury thereupop
issued statement which is, in part, as
follows: "The facts are that important
information developed during the inves-
tigation which we believed the very
comprehensive charge delivered by the
Judge to us and our individual oaths
made before him required us to pre-
sent to the court rs additional infor-
nation to that contained in the other
report submitted This information
was embodied in our paper, and it
was read to the entire grand jury
during It's deliberations, so that it was
known to every member of the jury
when we went into the court that it was
our purpose to present the paper to the
court. We believe that the other report
contained only part of the information
which we were charged by the judge to
report to the court, hence our additional
report, which the Judge declined to hear,
read or to accept"
1t is reported that the publicity of the
minority report at this time would great
ly affect the chances of prominent demo-
cratic candidates and that lis opposition
by the majority was on this account.
Robert G. Kasey, a clerk in the land
Office, declares that he heard Capt. John
A. Curtis tell a man that the report, il
made public, would help Governor Mon
tague's chances for the United States
Senate, and that is why it was suppress
ed. Captain Curtis denies the charge.
Kssey is Montague man, and Curtis a
strong supporter of Senator Martin.

Wooster, Ohio, Aug. 15.-The scene
at Col. Miners dinner party at Fort
LeavenwOrth was acted out at the

done, without attracting Captain Tag
CARTS attention. From the subject If

passed to a cotilion Mrs. Taggart gave.

Captain Stuart's Axe.

Attorney w. E. Barrett, of Newport
News. and Congressman Maynard, of
that congressional district, returned yes
terdav from Washington, where they
filed complaint of alleged unjust dis
elimination by civil service en-
ployes against Capt. J. f. B. Stuart,
collector of customs at Newport News.
The complaint has to do with the recent
changes in the local custom-house, when
four democrats were discharged and two
reduced to the ranks.
Mr.. Barrett said that the commission
has listened to the complaint and will
send Special Commissioner Greene there
Wednesday to investigate the matter
Captain Maynard went to Washington
in the interest of Hiram Sherman, Geo.
W. Struggled, Frederick Barrett and
George w. Kellum, inspectors, who, by
Collectors Stuart's recent order, will be
dropped from the customs service, and
Edward Eubank, deputy collector, and
Edloe Morecock, chief inspector, who
will become ordinary inspectors. Eu-
banks place will be filled by Rufus
Powell and Morecock's by NJ. NJ. Vi
pond, both republican leaders.
Capt Stuart ran for the city demo-
cratic committee in Newport News few
years ago and was beaten in his home
ward. Shortly aiterward he turned re-
publican. He now holds the position of
Collector of Customs at Newport News,
with fine salary. He was recently ap-
pointed U. S. Marshal, but after short
service, was made collector at Newport
News, the marshslship being an office
rather beyond Mr.. Stuart capacity.
