That prince of hypocrites, the Wheel
ing IntelIigsncer, gives editorial voice
to the following:
uThe observer Of events in West Vsr-
ginia can not fail to be impressed with
the almsst complete decadence Of 1.-THE
Democratic party. decadencc which
Is for many reasons to be regretted.
Political parties are necessity In our
form Of government, &c.
Against tremendous odds the DEM
ocratic party has reduced the Republic
can majority In West Virginia by TO-
600 and elected Its Legislative candi-
dates in . number Of Republican coun-
ties-yet the sniveliing Intelligencer be
walls its decAdence.n
One might infer that the InteIligen-
Ger believes q vigorous. aggressive
minority party prvmotive o. health in
public affairs, but when we come to In
vestigate there Ii no villainy designed
TO deprive Democrats Of their rights
and render them hopeless Of the laws
guarantees that the Intelligencer does
not c,ndene. And this not withstand
ing its party IL already in undisputed
control Of the State and has = majority
IN the Legislature Of moro than 80 on
joint ballot For example:
French was arbitrarily excluded from
the Democratic ticket by the Republic
can ballot commissioners in Mercer
and Mcdowell counties although Ger
titled by the judicial Committee to al
the vacancy within the ten days pre-
scribed by law-and that the Intelli-
gencer condones.
Troops were ordered to Mingo county
| by Gov. Dawson at the unauthorized
call Of the postmaster at Williamson,
and Democrats frightened from the
polls by the shadow Of the bavonet
across the ballot box that the In
telligencer condones
Adam B. Littlepage, elected after .
gallant fight in the Republican Sena-
torial District of Kanawha, Boone and
Logan counties, by "a majority accord
ing to the returns first given out by
the Kanawha Republicans themselves,
aud later by an ascertained majority Of
81, finds his seat contested and the
whole power Of the State machinery
concentrated to deprive him to the Of
flee to which he was electcd-and that
the Intelligencer condones.
A Democrat elected to the Leglsla-
ture on the face of the returns from
Barbour county 10 counted out-and
that the IntelIigencer condones. A
similar contest was inaugurated,
though vainly, In Taylor county, and
that the IntelIigencer condoned.
And still the Tntelligencer lifts its
eyes to heaven and signs over Dem
ocratic decadence.n Instead of the
modicum of respect that manly ma
ture would show fora plucky adversary
struggling against vast odds, the In
teIligencer il ready to have the Demo
Gratis cheated and robbed Of TIER rights
or shst if no other way be found, and
sheds crocodile tears over "Democratic
decadence.u If the Democratic party
was less patriotic and less imbued
with the dauntIess fighting spirit, it
would decline to nominate for State
and Legislative offices, and, without
let or hinderance, leave the grafters
and the lawless horde who now run
the government Of this State to rot in
their own corruption.-Mo Monroe Watch

Welding, Kianan & Marvin,


Many a good hearted girl Is sent to a
life of shame by the persecution Of a
wicked tongued woman. She is first
misrepresented, her motives are inn
pugned, her actions misconstrued, her
friends are caused to desert her, people
begin to view her askance, then to
shun her, then to openly snub her, and
then she is actually driven into wick
einess because those who ought 10
help and protect her become her yiru-
lent enemies. Then the vicious and
gossipy cause of her shame pirates to
every one about how much she has
done for the church and the cause Of
Christ. The Judgment will even up
many things that are violently wrong
here and there by those who are in the
foremost seats ON the Sabbath, and
who draw up their garments when
passing weaker sister on the street,
for fear Of contamination, who will
have harder sentence at the Judgment
than the one who has been east beyond
the pale of our social bounds.

BOY BORN IN AMERICA
After Mother a Been Passed at Fills
Island-Cau He He DepOrted?

When the Ellis Island f~erryboat landed
at the Battery yesterday noon with its
crowd Of immigrants or board n OF
the boatmen ran into the Barge Office in
search of a doctor. DIR. Bailey Of the Ma
rine Hospital Service found that his patient
was an immigrant woman, Wilhelmina
Goetz. and that she had just given birth
to an American boy. The doctor made a
temporary hospital in the Barge Office,
where ne treated the mother and child.
As soon as possible he sentrthem back to
Ellis Island, where they are now in the
hospital. The mother Is doing well, but
the child is not expected to live.
Wilhelmina Gostz arrived on Thursday
from Bremen on the Gneisenau. A man
who said he was her husband ca me for
her from Brooklyn and the inspectors
passed her.
When questioned Yesterday she frs, said
that she was married and then denied it.
The man, after saying that he was the
father of the child, went back to Brooklyn.
Wilhelmina Goetz will probably be de-
ported If the child dies. If it lives thcTe
may be some question as to whether an
American born boy can be deported as a
party to the fraud alleged to have G
practised to make him an American.

BIG STEAMER BuRNS; so SAVED.
One Lost and Another Injured In Transfer
on Fishing Tugs.

S%HEBoYGAN, Wis, March Is.-With a
crew Of sixty men and two passengers
aboard, the steamer Atlanta Of the Goodrich
Transportation Company caught fire five
miles from shore just before noon to-day.
The crew and passengers, with the OK
ception of one deckhand. escaped in tine
steamers lifeboats and were picked up by
Port Washington fishing tugs. From the
tugs they were transferred to the steamer
Georgia of the Goodrich line and brought
to this city.
One man, in jumping from the hurricane
deck to the tug, broke both legs.
The steamer Alta nta. valued at 500 900,
will be a total loss. She was burned to the
waters edge and the hull was towed to the
beach near Port Washin gton.
The Atlanta left this port for Milwaukee,
at 10 o'clock this morning. At l115, when
twelve miles south of Sheboygan and five
miles from shore, fire was discovered in the
hold
1t was located with difficulty and by the
time the fire fighters got down to work
the flames had gained good Roadway.
At ! o'clock Capt. McAuley decided that
in order to save the lives Of those on board
it would be necessary TO abandon the
steamer.
BY this time fishing tugs from Port Wash
ington were near the burning steamer and
there was practically little danger OF loss
of life. The sea was calm and there was
no panic.

SNOW SLIDES KILL FIVE.
\ Million Dollars Worth Of Property De-
str0yed I'm Colorado.

OuRAY, Col, March lS.-Five men are
known to be dead and at least 81 ,OOO,O 900
worth Of mining property has been de-
stroyed by snowslides in the San Juan
mining district in the last two days.
Late last night a great avalanche struck
the buildings Of the Camp Bird Mine, for
merly owned by Thomas F. Walsh, carrying
away the big reduction mill, the tram house,
boarding house and library building. These
buildings were the finest and most costly
mine structures in Colorado.
There were six men in the library at the
time and four Of them we're buried in snow,
but their companions quickly dug them
out and although seriously injured all will
live.
The loss to the Camp Bird Company will
reach S4OO, 900 and may exceed that amount.
The boarding house. in which 300 mon were
sleeping when the slide occurred, was
directly in its path, but the force of the
slide was broken and it's course diverted
by the great mill with its heavy machinery,
and an appalling disaster was averted.
Other snowslides in San Juan and San
Miguel counties killed five men, injured
many and caused property damage esti-
mated at from $3.50 900 to $500 900. One
of the men killed was D.. +. Hickey, foreman
at the Green Mountain mill. The names
Of the other men have not been learned.
Hickey lost his life in the slide that carried
awav the clubhouse at the Last Chance
mine
The hca West property loss was to the
Green Mountain mill, which was recently
completed and equipped with machinery
I at a cost of over $500 900.
Seyentv-Rve men had gone into the Last
Chance tunnel to work fifteen minutes be-
fore their bunkhouse was carried away.
The report Of a fatal train wreck on the
| Rio Grande Southern at Ophir Loop yester-
day proves to nave been false. A light
engine was struck by a slide, nobody being
hurt.

GOING INTO WAISTS RECORD.
Government to Produce Documents From
COmptrOller's Once.

CHICAGO, March ls.-Details of every
transaction in which the Chicago National
Bank figured in the last three yea RS of its
existence will be disclosed tomorrow at
the hearing Of John r. Walsh, the former
president Of the institution, if the Govern
ment's programme can be successfully
carried out.
For the first time since MIR. Walsh was
placed under arrest the Government showed
its hand yesterday. The broad scope of the
inquiry, which contemplates scrutiny Of
every loan made in the three years, was in
dicated by the serving Of two subppnas,
one in Chicago and the other in Washington,
The subpoena sent to the national capital
calls upon T. P. Kane to produce every re-
port to the Comptroller made by the Chicago
National curing the last three years; also
all correspondence between Mr.. Wal sh
and the Comptroller's office in that time,
The other subpoena was served on Otto
A.Kess, for ten years connected with Walsh
WISCONSIN, Michigan Railroad. Assistant
District Attorney Childs asked Mr.. Kess
yesterday about the. financing OF the Wis
cousin Michigan Railroad, but the latter re-
fused to answer any questions until called
to the stand.
From the Comptroller's records the Gov
eminent intends to show that the Comp
troller was not satisfied with the way Mr..
Walsh was running the bank as far back as
1908. 1t was at this time that the first
memorandum notes we're disclosed.

DEMOCRATIC SENATORS CONFER.
VIII Not Insi4 on United Party Action on
the Railroad Rate Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 18.-Fourteen Demo-
cratic Senators journeyed to Woodley,
the suburban home of Senator Francis g..
Newlands of Nevada, to-day and sat at
luncheon and discussed railroad rate legis-
lation. Every Democratic Senator was in
vited, but a few were detained by illness,
and Senator Bacon and one or two others
had previous engagements. The gathering
was representative, however. Senator
Bailey of Texas, who, with Senator German,
shares the floor leadership; Senator Till
man of South Carolina, who is in charge OF
the Hepburn bill, and Others most interested
in rate legislation we're present.
The conference resulted in no agreement
for concerted action. On the contrary,
when the Senators departed from Wood
lev it was with the general understanding
that there would be no conference or caucus
looking to united party action. This ISL
lowed the acceptance OF the contention
that the rate question was not a party issue
and individual Senators should be left free
to vote according to individual judgment.
The conference disclosed the fact that
Senator Rayner of Maryland did not speak
by the care when he announced In the
Senate the other day that the Democrats
had practically agreed on a rate Dill OIL tnelr
own. The point most discussed was
whether Congress had power to declare in
the bill that the Circuit courts should not
suspend a rate pending the determination
at a judicial review, Senator Bailey an
nounced that he had studied the question
C carefully and was convinced that Con-
gress had the constitutional power to for
bid the Circuit courts from stspending
the rate or any orders by the Interstate
Commerce Commission while legal pro-
oeedings were under way TO determine the
reasonableness of the rate fixed. A few
Senators disagreed with Mr.. Bailey, but
the majority were in accord with his views'-
The sentiment was strongly in favor OF
amending the Hepburn bill SO as to specif-
oally forbid the courts to suspend the rate
bending review.

ingly pretty young woman, giving every
indication OF refinement and education,
il in the Hampshire county Jail and will be

very popular, frequently giving theatre
-paptiee,- thriving parties and ,suppers to
groups Of friends among the students,

among the students for some time, but
could get no clue.
Yesterday afternoon Miss Wilson went to
Amherst with a number Of the Smith
students to witness a basketball game
and to attend a reception. In her absence
two friends,went to her apartments to call.
AS they were leaving, it is alleged, they
saw an article which had been stolen, and
an examination revealed others, They

Officer King of the college and Chief of
Police Gilbert searched the room. They
discovered a large amount of booty, to-
gether with several empty pocketbooks,

Amherst Miss Wilson was arrested. 1t is
said she has made a confession.
