SUTHERLAND CONSCIENTIOUS.
Retires From Firm Because Govern
 ment Is Suing His Clients.

Salt Lake City, July 28-Following the filing of suits by the government to annul the patents of coal lands, al- legged to have been secured by the Utah Fuel company and the Pleasant Valley Coal company by fraud, United States Senator George Sutherland to- day announced his retirement from the law firm of Sutherland, Vancott & Allison. He said:
 q have retired from the firm with great personal regret, for the sole req son that suits have been brought against two of the regular clients of the firm by the United States, and others are threatened. I know nothing whatever as to the merits of these controversies, but I have considered that I cannot, with propriety. repre- sent a litigant whose interests are adverse to those of the government"
 The firm has been counsel for the two coal companies for many years.

M'LAuRIN ON vARpAMAN.
Mississippi Senator Gives Eye for Eye
 and Tooth for Tooth.

Jackson, Miss, July 2S.-United States Senator McLaurin has given out a reply to an interview of Gov ernor Vardamans in which Senator McLaurin and other members of his family are criticised. He says:
 "Governor Vardaman is so inordin- ately vain that he can't pass a news paper man without stopping to get himself interviewed. His creed was as unprovoked as it was vicious. His abuse of me does not have even the merit of novelty, dating back to 1894, when he thought was candidate for governor. His insincerity is glaringly patent in his reference to bossism. It appears to me as if Governor Varda- man has pretended on this groundless occasion to abuse me in the expecta- tion that 1t would attract my enemies to him, disgusting appeal to con- temptible motive"

sentenced by the supreme court of Ala hama to be hanged, is the expressed opin- ion of Attorney General Massey Wilson
 MT Wilson was called to Birmingham by Governor Jelks late Friday night. and after a consultation with the chief ex- ecutive returned to Montgomery.
 T have no hesitation" he said, fin saying that in my opinion Judge Weaver has no jurisdiction in the grant of the right of trial. It may be proven to the contrary, but 1t is my opinion that the matter in hand was beyond the control of Judge Weaver. The case had been tried in a court of equal Jurisdiction with that of Judge Viewers originally, and later had been passed upon by the su- preme court I do not believe action such as was taken by the judge is permissible in lower court under the circum- stances
 When asked whether any action was contemplated by the state if 1t should be decided at the trial on August that Williams is insane, he replied that no definite decision had yet been made.

Who Else Can Beat Bryan?

But in confidential talks these same leaders make no secret of their belief that Mr Roosevelt will be found making the run again "Wh6m can we put up to beat Bryang the republican politicians are asking. "The Nebraskan is bound to be the choice of the democratic party and he will be more popular than ever. There Is no man except Roosevelt in the republican party who can make a successful contest against him. the wave of radicalism has swept the presidency out of the reach of conservatives and has left Roosevelt as the logical stand ard bearer"
 Thus the republican politicians are ar gulng But men who figure that Roose- velt will be nominated again have not found a way to meet his objections. How ever. they seem confident that the trick will be turned. The nomination for Pres dent has never yet been refused.
 Dover May Lose Out.
 Politicians here would not be surprised to hear any day that Etner Dover. sec retary of the republican national commit 1 tee had been virtually forced to retire from that position. He has been pretty well ignored by Postmaster General Cor telyou, chairman of the committee, at every turn. MT. Cortelyou does not ap- pear to have taken him into his conn- dence any further than he was com pelled to for the sake of appearances and would probably shed no tears if his right young lieutenant should find it con venient to resign
 Mr Dover made this contingency more positive today by the publication of an interview in which he said that stand pat campaign should not be carried on by the republicans this fall; that the tariff question should be regarded more as local matter. to be handled by each congressional candidate as he saw fit This is contrary to the policy agreed upon at the conference of republican leaders with the President at Oyster Bay a few days ago, when 1t was determined 1 to play the stand-pat game.

ELMER DOVER MAY LOSE OUT
Secretary of Republican Committee Is Out In Interview Declaring Against Campaign With
 Standpat as Slogan.

Washington. July 2s.-(Special.)-It Is surprising to learn how many republi- can leaders believe that Theodore Roose- velt will be their party's candidate for President in 1908.
 The White House announcement of No- yember s. 1904, Is not accepted as taking MT. Roosevelt out of the field of possibil- itles for a third term as he intends 1t should. Few republicans of prominence care to announce for publication that they believe the President would be nom- mated in 1908. The President has been quite emphatic on this point and appears to be almost sensitive on the subject; consequently his party associates are chary about proclaiming their opinions that in spite of this he will be their candidate.

MoRGANToWN, Oct. 22.-In the
most interesting game of the season

their IS yard line, but failed to re.
: turn the ball. By straight football
they carried the ball to Morgantown's
% yard line before being held. Nor
gantown was forced to punt. Fair
mont got yards, then fumbled, NJ.
H. s. getting the ball. but Fairmont
held them for downs and punted out
at once. Captain Pixler then got
around the end for IL. Then fol
lowed an exchange of punts with the
advantage for Morgantown. Nor
gantown got is in two downs, then
punted and got the ball on a tumble,
and carried it In three downs to Fair
mont's yard line. but lacked six
inches of distance.
Fairmont painted out of danger
and then the teams seesawed back
and forth. The half ended with the
ball on Fairmont's IA yard line.
In the second half Fairmont had
a. little the best of it in straight
football, while Morgantown excel.
ed in punting. Fairmont's goal was
never in danger and but once was
Nlorgantown in danger. Fairmont
got near enough to try place kick,
but II failed. Morgantown getting
the ball on her own five yard line and
punhng out. When the whistle
