SOMETHING DOING ON THE PAR.
KERssuRe SIDE OF THE
OHIO RIVER.

PARKERsBURG, Oct. IA war.
rant was issued yesterday by City Re.
corder Dan B. Leonard for John ].
McNerney on the charge Of keeping
a slot machine In his place Of bust
ness on Market street. Last Saturday
night Chief of Police Oliver and Lieu
tenant Smith found a slot machine in
operation in the McNerney place.
They confiscated the machine carry.
ing IT to police headquarters in the
patrol wagon. Joe Biles and Arthur
Davis, two boys who we're playing the
machine, were arrested and a charge
Of gambling and lettering in saloon
and placed against them.
Each of them put up ten dollars as
surety for their appearance at trial
This morning at nine o'clock. When
the case was called 1t was decided to
Law IT over until seven o'clock this
evening in order that the charge
against McNerney might be tried at
the same time. The slot machine
which was captured was a money
machine and had some nlckels and
no checks IN It, when it was taken by
5he officers. An effort will be made
10 prove that Davis and Biles, the
two Young men who were arrested,
we're the ones who put the money IN
the machine.
Although It has been rnmored
about town that the slot machines
we're going again, this is the first ar
rest tina: has been made by the po'
lice. Sports who are in a position to
know say that there are machines in
other saloons in town but they are
exhibited very rarely. They arc
brought out upon special occasions
and it is then that the boys crowd
around to court the goddess OF for
tune. 1t is quite likely that If there
is a conviction in the case tonight
that all of the machines that are said
to be running will be put away for a
time at least.

YARD. w

E NORFOLK, Va, Oct. 2.-=If the plans
Of the Department Of Construction
and Repair for the governments navy
yard in this city are carried out the
plant will be equipped for the build.
Ing Of the greatest ships that may
lie authorized for the further increase
Of the navy. Ever since the yard
turned out the Texas and the splendid
cruiser Raleigh, the former shaking
OF her supposed @hoodoo" and prov:
ing herself one Of the 'navy's finest
fighting ships at Santiago, while the
latter CALAMITY followed DeRey's flag
into Manila Bay, it has been the de.
size Of this community to see another
great ship grow into being at this
yard.
The municipal government OF Ports
mouth and Norfolk, the commercial
and labor organizations Of both cities
and ali the political influence, that
these bodies could command have
been directed toward this end, and
from time to time delegations hav"
been sent to Washington and great
pressure has been brought to bear Oh
Congress to order the laying down OF
! shin at this navy yard.
The fact is, however that, although
there is at the big dockyard every Ia
cillty needed for the repair of the
largest ship of war and for the build
ing OF almost any type Of fighting
ship, there are no ways on which TO
lay down a big battle ship. The New
York navy yard was greatly hamper
ed in this regard when the Connect
cut was ordered built there. The var"
lost the race with the private ship
yard at Newport News only because
Of the fact that ways and cranes for
the handling of material had to pc
erected before the actual work OF
building the ship could be started
1t is the hope of the construction
officers here that the next Congress
will make the comparatively small
appropriation of $4,000, which is
necessary in order to put this navy
yard on footing with any shipbuiId-
ing plant in the country.

BUINESS FIRST.

Senator Beveridge, with character
istic loyalty to the people, has de-
ferred his trip abroad in order that he
may be on hand when the pure food
bill comes up for final consideration.
Senator Beverage was scheduled to
deliver an address in Paris on July
Fourth before the American Cham
Der OF Commerce of the French me-
tropolis and he was looking forward
with great pleasure to the holiday
abroad. Day before yesterday the
Indiana senator, who rs rightfully
termed the father of meat inspection
legislation, learned that there was to
be a strenuous effort to defeat the
bill, which apparently had weathered
the storm of opposition and was on
its road to enactment. IL the
measure goes down to oblivion, Sena-
tor Beverage is to be there fighting
for 1t to the last and for this reason
he cancelled his engagement In Paris.
The Indiana senator in this instance
as in all others in which he has fig
ured, shows that he is a great be-
lever in the old maxim, Business
first, pleasure afterward." His Off
cial life is in striking contrast with
some of the members of the Senate
who pack their toys and HE them
selves to summer palaces in the
woods at the first possible moment,
giving no heed to the legislation that
may be pending-unless il is in the
interest of some gigantic corporation
to which they owe their high official
position.

ELOQUENT AND PRACTICAL.

An editorial sermon" in the Indian
apolis Star yesterday, which is both
eloquent and practical, will bear re-
peating, especially on Sunday, day
for sermons. The Star says:
No more eloquent sermon against
gambling could be preached than the
boss gambler who doesn't gamble or
against incompetence than the saloon
keeper, very common nowadays, who
requires his bartencers to be total
abstainers. Truly no one should
know the dangers of gambling more
fully than the man under whose eyes
clerks go wrong and business men
wreck their fortunes. No one un-
derstands the evils of intemperance
SO thoroughly as he who daily watch
es the beauty, strength and self-re-
spect of a generous, high-minded
youth steal from his figure and no
pace perceived If such examples
are lost upon the mind of youth
what shall the most diligent inculca.
tion of precept avail?

MAKING FIGHT
ON POLICE LAW
Richmond Opponents of the
System Find Much to In
tereSt Them.
CONTENTION OF KOK0M0
HELD THAT LAW is NOT coNsTI-
TUTIoNAL-STATE OF INDIANA
HAS FILED BRIEF IN THE
CASE.
CONTENTION OF KOKOMO

Mayor Zimmerman and other Rich
mond advocates of the abolition of
the metropolitan police system, in
vogue in Richmond ana other Indiana
cities, are interested in the test case
now pending.
The brief for the State in the Ko-
komo metropolitan police law case ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court from the
Howard Circuit Court, has been filed
by the Acknowledgement and in it the
State insists that the metropolitan po-
lice law of the State IS constitutional.
Michael Donohue was a metropoli-
tan police captain at hokomo. which
had police board that was appointed
by the Governor under the metro
politan law. This law provides that
in cities with a population of from
10000 to $4,000 the police department
shall be under the control of a board
of commissioners appointed by the
Governor and that the Governor shall
also fix the compensation of such
board members. When the cities
and towns law of 1905 was passed,
it provided that cities which attain
that population thereafter should have
the right to elect whether they should
have a metropolitan police board APP
pointed by the Governor, or whether
they should vest in the mayor the
power to appoint board.
Say Law Is Unconstitutional.
The city of Kokomo went into court
with the plea that the metropolitan
police law had been repealed and also
that the metropolitan police law was
unconstitutional, because it conferred
power on the Governor to perform
legislative acts in fixing the salaries
of the members of the police boards
which he had appointed. The con-
stitution of the State divides the
State government into three parts, ex-
ecutive, legislative and judicial, and
the powers of any one of these de-
partments can not be assumed by an.
other or delegated by one to another.
1t was on this point that the city
relied, principally. The lower court
decided in favor of Donohue, and the
city appealed the case to the SUI
preme Court.

The Richmond Natural Gas Com
pany will have several new wells to

There was more coal burned in Rich

greater-at least the sales will be
heavier, for many tons of coal burn

President Roosevelt finally has de

There will be criminal proceedings in

Garfield Report the Basis.
The investigation made by Commits
sioner Garfield have been taken as a
basis for the judicial inquiry set on
foot by Attorney General Moody today,
but the most important evidence now
in possession of the government is
that which was developed openly and
aboveboard, and without any promise
of immunity, through the hearings be-
fore the interstate commerce COM
mission, where the fact of giving and
receiving of rebates was clearly es-
tablished.
The new law modifying the old sta
tute on the subject of immunity has
been passed by congress and now goes
into effect, so the Standard Oil com
pany will not be able to wash itself in
the immunity bath, which proved SO
efficacious in the case of the Chicago
packers.
