Never Heard OF Mrs. BywaierS.
THE POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING

Mai. Sylvester started ADMINISTRATION
Thursday in Washington into tho charge
made by Mrs Viola Bywaiers, III her

physician of Washington. known n DIR.
Leon had performed All illegal opera
tion on her
DR.. Leon. or Leon Thompson. who. the
police say, is the man accused denies

terses. He maintains that - grave mis-
take has been made. and declares he has

guilty party Ii DR.. Leon is guilty. the
inspector SAYS. his men will soon find 1t
out. for they are now making "a thorough
investigation.
SENTENCED TO GALLONS.
DR.. Leon was once convicted OF murder
and sentenced 70 hang, the police say,
but took his case TO a higher court aud
won. He has frequently been arrested
for performing alleged illega operations
The police have received no cOmmunlca-
ton from Mrs. Bywaters or her family
regarding the investigation now beirg
conducted, but on account OF the past
record Of "Dr. Leon" Maj. Sylvester
thought it advisable TO make al invesil-
cation on his own initiative.
Whether the District attorney Oflire
will take any cognizance OF the accu-a
tions against Washington physicians M
connection with the operations on Viola
StrOther. now Mrs Bywaters while she
was in that city,is yet to be determined.
Conrad F. Grieb, proprietor II the Hotel
Muntrose, where Mrs. Bywaters testified
that she had registered as the wife OF
Bywaters while in Washington under
going the operation, refused either 10
confirm or deny that Bywaters and the
young woman had registered at hi
hotel
DIR. l.. d. Walter, Of Washington, who,
according to Mrs Bywaters testimony,
attended her at the Montrose Hotel. said
that he had been called To the hotel mere
" to treat Mrs. Bywaters professionally
after the operation had been performed.
She was in serious condition, he SAID
ADMITTED THEIR IDENTY.
Bywaters and the girl admitted their
identity, and when he suggested that
they marry they declared that it was
their intention to do SO.
According to DR.. Walter, Bywaters
and Miss Strother were most devoted.
Bywaters, he said, apparently was much
attached to his mother and made ire
quent trips to Culpeper to see her while
Miss StrOther was i'll in Washington at
the hotel.
Miss Strother told him, said Dr. Walter
that Bywaters was the only man she
had ever loved, and Bywaters made pro-
testations of great affection for the girl.
In DR.. Walters opinion. Bywaters WAS
anxious TO postpone the marriage be-
cause he was short OF cash.
Bywaters told DR.. Walter, the latter
said. that be had been defeated for the
office of treasurerof Cupeper county. bot
be expected to be q ected the next time,
aud would then be on his feet financially
Miss Strother told him, he said, that she
expected TO get some money from her
fathers estate. DR.. Walter said also
that he had never received cent fpr his

pEMoCRACY's CHANCE TO WIN.


John Sharp Williams, leader of the
minority in the lower house of Con
gress, is both an able leader and an
astute politician. Mr.. Williams has
been quick to seige upon Elihu Root S
recent speech as furnishing first class
campaign material for his party and
in an interview says;
president Roosevelt is on record to
the effect that Secretary Root is "a man
whom he can send out at any time 10 de-
liver a speech as the mouthpiece of the
administration. From this We must as
sumo, and am confident that the as
sumption is the correct one III this case,
= that Secretary Roots Capitalization
speech was carefully prepared and read
at the White House before it was deliv-
cred. Thus it is in the nature OF "a ukase,
threatening unconstitutional govern
ment whenever constitutional hmlta-
tions do not permit to be done the things
that the man in power believes ought 20
be done.
the Constitution does moi permit the All
ministration to do what il wants 10 do.
and il the administration cannot get the
Constitution changed, then the admuis-
tration will violate the Constitution
Such an attitude will brighten the ccun-
try. The people like TO have things done,
but they will not care to have aggres-
siyeness carry them too lar, and II the
administration continues TO advocate
such doctrines a reaction, with Demo
cratic success as the result, islnevitabie.
The Richmond News-Leader i'll an
editorial on the same subject calls
attention to the old Virginia resolu-
tions as follows:
Back -yo2Sar iS-.he early DAYS OF the
republic the general assembly Oh tht
commonwealth OF Virginia passed a
series OF resolutions of protest drawn 10y
one James Madison and known rs the
Virginia resolutions OF $500. One OF Tue
resolutions, after expressing regret that
a spirit has, in sundry instances. been
manifested by the Federal government
TO "enlarge its power by forced con
structions of the constitutional charter
which defines them, eharacterlzes one oil
the manifestations as a disposition 70
consolidate the States by degrees int
one sovereignty, the obvious tendency
and inevitable consequences OF which
would be TO transform the representa-
tive system OF the United States into al
absolute or at best a mixed monarchy.
From these and numerous Other
expressions it begins to look as Ii the
Democratic party has realized the
value OF making an issue OF state
rights, and from the ominous silence
OF the administration and Repuoh
can leadersi in generalit appears thai
the G. o. p. is somewhat alarmed
at the unpopularity of the sentiments
expressed by Mr.. Root, who is looked
upon by many as the next candidate
OF his party for the presidency. Al
we have before remarked, the Democ
racy with two prominent issues, viz.
tariff revision and anti-Federalism
or rather constitutionalism, has th'
chence OF its life to win the next elec
ton.
