every cigar and every drop of -

teen minutes after the Window went
aground. Politicians in Washing.
ton claim to believe that Secretary
Taft beguiled the Window off its
course with malice aforethought and
then sent one OF his own tugs to the
rescue so that the newspapermen,
whom Mr.. Shaw had tried to make
his very own, might not get back to
Washington without incurring an
equal debt of gratitude to the Jolly
Secretary of War who il is whispered

OF his own.
The investigation of an alleged
scandal in connection with the crop
reports OF the Department of Agri-
culture affords some ground for ex.
pecung cabinet scandal of no
small proportion. 1t is too early to
judge of the results OF the probing
TO which the affairs of the Depart
ment are being subjected but Secre.
tary Wilson has placed the entire
matter in the hands of the Secret
Service Bureau and it is generally
believed that the matter will be
probed to the bottom this time, while
the findings of fhe Secret Service
are pretty apt to become public
whether or not that we desired when
their real character is revealed to
Secretary Wilson.

AAKDAMUS BEEN GRANTED
MOrSantoVn and KinSWoOd Must
Have rs Per Cent Of Cars Which
Are Delivered 10 II By
Baltimore 4 Ohio.

PARKERsBURo, June ~, The prom.
inent part which is being taken by
Senator Stephen b. Elkins, chair
man OF the senate committee on in
ter-state commerce, in the proposed
government regulation of railroad
rates, made him especially conspic.
uous in case which was before the
United States couVt here. The
Morgantown & Kingwood Railroad
company, which is said TO be prin-
cipally owned by Senator Elkins,
was the defendant and upon the pc
tition of the A. G. Fulmer Coal
Company mandamus was issued
to compel the railroad company to
distribute cars among the mining
companies along its line without
discrimination.
1t was alleged that the Morgan
town x Kingwood company had alb
solutely refused TO supply cars for
the shipment of the company's coal,
although it has demand for 900 to
800 tons day; that all the railroad
company's cars are supplied to the
West Virginia Coal company, and
TO one other concern. The petition
alleges that David Elkins is presl-
dent of the railroad, that Stephen
Is. Elkins is manager of the coal
department. These officers are all
sons of Stephen b. Elkins. 1t also
alleges that Stephen B. Elkins is
president Of the West Virginia Coal
company, and that his sons are int
crested in it as follows; David
Elkins, vice president; Richard Ell
kins, general manager, and Stephen
B.Elkins, Jr., manager OF the sales
department.
1t is alleged that these officers
own large majority Of the stock
of the railroad, and the West Vir-
ginia Coal company, and these two
companies and the Davis. Elkins
company have combined TO break
up the Fulmer company and cause
it to be sold at sacrifice. 1t is
alleged that the railroad and its
president have refused TO supply
any cars to the Fulmer company,
although il has repeatedly demand
ed them and has had empty cars
consigned to it which the Morgan
town * Kingwood road failed and
refused to deliver.
1t is alleged that various excuses
and eyasions have been made by
the railIoad for not furnishing cars
but that the real reason was to
break up the Fulmer company. 1t
alleges that its output is 20 per
cent of that of all the mines along
the Morgan;own & Kingwood rail
road, and petitioned that the said
road should be compelled to supply
90 per cent of all its cars to the
Fulmer company. Judge Dayton
upon hearing the petition issued an
alternative mandamus, directing the
railroad company to furnish 90 per
cent Of Its cars to the Fulmer com
pany or to appear at Wheeling July
II, and show cause, IL it has any,
why il should refuse to do so.

SLAVE SALES
by Ancestors OF President Roosevelt.

One of them reads:-
Received, December 27, 1882,
from MIR. John +. Martin, $500,
said sum being in full payment for
one negro woman named Bess and
her child John.
MARTHA BULLOCK.
Roswell, Dec. 27, 1853.
The other is even more interesting
in that it shows that Mrs. Bullock
warranted tn health Of the negroes
which she sold. 1t folIows:-
Received of John +. Martin
81, 500 in full for my four negroes
to wit: Brister and his wife, Sylvia,
and two grandchildren. Albert and
Sylvia, the boy Albert about eight
years and the other six in Septem-
ber next. And / will hereby war
rant the health and title to him and
his heirs, etc. Witness my hand
and seal, Jst day of February, 1854.
MARTHA BULLOCK.
Thus, after receiving IN oney suf-
fcient to defray the expenses of
her daughter's wedding to Theodore
Roosevelt, Sr., even at that time a
wealthy New Yorker, Mrs. Martha
Bullock, grandmother of the Presi
dent, drew up with her own hand
and signed the fore going docu-
ments, which to this day are in ex-
istance and are we'll preserved.
Col. Jones is at present citizen of
Cobb county, in which is located
Roswell, the home of Mrs. Martha
Bullock and her daughter, Martha,
before her marriage to Theodore
Roosevelt Sr. "The documents, 4"
said Col. Jones, "came into my
possession in 1866. John +. Mar
tin a wealthy farmer, died in my
county in my county in 1857, leav-
ing 100 negro slaves"
To some it may seem an exagger-
alton TO state that the slaves we're
sold to defray the expenses Of the
presidents mothers wedding. The
two sales occurred, ono in Decem-
Der, 1853, and the other in Febru-
any 1854. 1t should be remember
ed that in those days much time
was needed by a stylish southern
woman in which to prepare for a
fashionable wedding Inter Ocean.

trict attorney and John J. Cornwell
for tho defense, the Court consent
ed 20 a dismissal in the case, as it
was shown TO the satisfaction Of the
Court that the defendants had not
violated the Law. The defendants
are wholesale liquor dealers Of Cum

some goods G. O. D., 20 certain
party in this state who paid for the
goods ordered by him and got them
from the railroad company. The
purchaser divided the stuff among
members Of a small club and they
disposed Of il unlawfully. In pas
sing on the case, Judge Dayton took
occasion to remark that he would
like to get hold Of some Of the firms
that ship whisky into all the rural
towns Of the state, 20 fictitious per.
sons, and he intlmated that he would
make an example Of them and that
they would get the foil benefit Of
