Effect of Purchase of the Little Ka-
naWha Properties

PITTSBURG, Pa, September 1G.-Joseph
Ramsey jr, president of the Wabash rail
road, announced today that the sale of the
Little Kanawha properties was completed
with the exception of a few minor details
which would be disposed of Immediately
The announcement was made after most of
the day had been spent in conference with
J. w. Patterson, sr., and J. T. Blair.
The purchasers are interests representing
the Pittsburg and Lake Erie railroad and
1t is said the Pennsylvania and Baltimore
and Ohio railroads are also interested in
the sale.
Without a doub. a line now will he
built" said Mr.. Ramsey, which will give
Pittsburg what it has been in great need

The Little kanawha properties are ex-
tensive, and include vast coal lands from
west of Parkersburg. W. Va, into Greene
county, Pa. The price paid by the Wander
bilt interests is said to be $40 000, 000. The
property was first offered to George Gould
who held a minority interest in the syndi-
cate, but, 1t is said, he refused to pay the
price demanded.

was originally intended as the route which
the Wabash should follow in its extension

GOV. HANLY'S DENIAL
SAYS HE DID NOT BORROW
MONEY OF sHERRICK.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. September 1G-In
reference to the report that Gov Hanly
borrowed $3.50 from ex-Auditor Sherrick,
the alleged embezzler during the late cam
paign the governor said today:
1T Is not true that Mr.. Sherrick ever
loaned me dollar of money for any pur-
pose.
'The week prior to the state convention
In April. 1904, Mr.. Sherrck came into my
rooms at the English Hotel and said that a
number of candidates were making ar
rangements to money to secure a IA
vorable delegation for them in Marion
county, and said that l ought to contrib
ute. l said to him that had no money for
such purposes; that | was trying to secure
Il delegation in Marion county against
Mr.. Taylor. He said, In answer, that he
thought / ought TO do so, and that If | did
not have the funds. he did. l said in reply:
If you have l will not ask you to use
It, nor will l permit you to do so From
that hour to this Mr.. Sherrick never men,
toned that subject to me-
After receiving my letter demanding a
written statement of the condition of af-
fairs in his office, dated August "a, Mr..
John F. Reed came into the executive office
and said to me that Mr.. Sherrick claimed to
have expended $3.50 for my benefit prior
to the state convention | answered him
that / was surprised to hear of such a
thing; that 1t was strange that Mr. Sher-
rick had never mentioned IL to me in the
fifteen months that intervened.
Il wrote check payab-e TO John Reed in
the sum of $50 on the Farmers and Trad
ers Bank of Lafayette, Ind. e sum being,
as Mr. Reed said. principal and interest
from the day Mr.. Sherrck claimed to have
expended this money. l handed the check
to Mr.. Reed.
II said to him: i am going to Warren
county for few days. Hoiu this check
until l come back and then cash 1t quick
l returned to the office Thursday morning.
Mr.. Reed came in with the check in his
hand
IF Mr.. Sherrick used this honey, or any
part OF 1t, he used 1t without authority
from me and without my knowledge, and
without ever mentioning it to after it's
use. 1t Is not true that l have soought to
conceal this fact"
There probably will be some question as
to he application of the securities held by
David +. Sherrick, ex-auditor o. state, now
in the hands of Attorney General Charles
W. Miller, representing the state. The
tentative position of the officials represent
ing the American Surety Company is that
the state is protected only to the extent of
the 100000 bonds, and that inasmuch as
the surety company has to pay that bond it
is therefore entitled to all o. the securities
and property in Sherrcks hands
