Dorothy Ween. also known as lIarpman,
was terribly beaten as she lay sick in bed
with typhoid fever She died Monday in
great agony. Vance SimOns and John
Fink, young men of the neighborhood. are
under surveillance, being suspected Of COM
plicity in the affair. a coroneT's jury was
taken 10 the scene Christmas Day, and
has been in session practically ever since.
Peru, where the murder occurred. is a
small mountain hamlet, and the only
means of communication is by a single tel
ephone wire. which runs 10 Harrisonburg
by a most indirect route. Heavy SHOWS
ana bad weather in the mountains have
made roads almost impossible, and very
little can be learned about the matter.

four years Of age, and came TO Peru some
time ago from Keyser, w. Va. She be-
came i'll three or four weeks ago. and had
been confined to the house since. The

Alexandria, Va, Dec. 2S.--Arrangements
have been made by the Washington
Southern Railway Company to transfer
the local freight depot from the new

ing at the corner Of Cameron and Fayette

part Of the railway officials to restore,
Tor considerable time at least, the

with delight by local merchants, who We're
put 10 much trouble in the winter in
having goods hauled over muddy roads

Such was the concern manifested in the
matter that a movement was started in the

particularly affected.

STATES RIGHTS INVOLVED
Hoyt Defends Attitude of Secretary
of State.
Solicitor General Tells Supreme
Court Mr. Root Wants Greater
Authorities.

In advocacy Of the doctrine Of sovereign
and inherent power that Will give the
Federal government control Of certain
streams necessary TO prosecute its work
in the Reclamation Service. Solicitor Cen
eral Hoyt has taken occasion 10 defend
the Secretary of State before the Supreme
Court from the recent public charge that
the head Of the State Department, on be-
half Of the administration, favored d cen
tralized form Of government
This defense appears in the form Of a
supplemental oral argument, filed by leave
OF the court in the now noted case of the
State Of Kansas against the State of Col
orad0, with the waters Of the Arkansas
River as the bone Of contention. The
United States has been permitted TO inter
vene as party defendant. In maintain
ing that there is a conflict between the
States, which only the national sovereign
ty is competent TO settle, the Solicitor
General makes the following sweeping
defense Of the theory advanced in a re-
cent speech delivered in New York City
by Secretary of State Root:
THE present Secretary Of State speaks
with the authority Of an eminent public
man as well as counsel learned in the
law. The purport Of his recent utter
ances on uniform State laws has been
misconceived He says that If one State
maintains a law condemned by the pub
lie sense Of the whole country, or Lays
and fails in the performance of its duty.
then the Instinct for self-gOvernment of
the people is too strong to permit them
long to respect any ones right To exer-
else n power which he fails to exercise.
His conclusion Is that the States must
awake 70 their responsibilities, must re-
assume and exercise their power. His
searching words are a plea for more
State power; greater States rights, not
less.
But the desirability Of uniform regu-
lation in the purely internal affairs Of
all the States does not now concern US"
1t is no secret that the government ex-
poets 10 meet with stern opposition In
its attempt to exercise control over non
navigable interstate streams The mi
nOrity party in Congress has come 10
the conclusion that the next national
campaign can be fought out on the old
issue of States rights.
Leading Democratic Senators have al
ready denounced what they claim TO be
the gradual encroachment Of the Execu-
tive upon the legislative and judicial
branches of the government. and the
radical encroachment of the Federal gov
eminent upon the well-dehned rights OF
the States. A number of resolutions IN
opposition 10 this alleged policy have al
ready been introduced and speeches ara
In course Of preparation.
