FRANCHISE TO
FRANK GAVIT
Continued from page one

self" said Mr.. Gavit Il propose to
put in $4,000 of my own money and
l have friends in Whiting who will
also be large subscribers of stock. l
expect to put the stock on the market
and sell a limited amount of it,"
When the suggestion was offered
that the franchise was transferable
and could therefore be sold TO any
company the holder saw fit, Mr.. Gavit
admitted that this was true, but said
that he would take such means as he
that he would axe such means as he
saw fit to finance the project and that
he did not bind himself not to sell out
to any other company although he and
his friends would always retain an in
terest in the company.
Although Mr.. Gavit denies that he
has been the agent of Mayor barrow
in giving the Gary board the double
cross" and getting the franchise for
the New York Chicago line, yet there
are a great many people who believe
that this is the case and that Mayor
barrow has made a fine coup in cap
turing the franchise IN spite of the
opposition to him and his line.
The vote on the Gavit franchise re-
suited in T. E. Knots and John A
Sears favoring it, while NJ A Cald-
well was opposed to it.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
HERNDON, Va, August 90 1907.
The republicans OF the Dranesville dis
trict met here Saturday to elect delegates
to the county convention, to be held at
Fairfax Court House the oath, and to con-
slider other important business. The meet
Ing was called to order by B. H. Brashears
of Hunters at 2:3O o'clock and the follow
]. w. Ellswick, G. A. Haight, e. L. How
ard and B. w. Middleton. Alternates: j.
Albert Houghton, r. H Thayer, H. A.
Sager. H. o. Cornwell and Ira Brashears
The question Of selecting four justices Of
the peace. a constable and an overseer of
the poor for the Dranesville district to be
elected in the fall. was considered, and It
was finally determined to leave the matter
with the district officers with power to
make nominations for these positions II
is understood that should the district Of
ficers fail to make nominations for Jus
tees OF the peace there will be one or
more Independent candidates among the
republicans for these positions.
The county convention. which is to meet
at Fairfax next Saturday, will elect dele
gates to the republican convention at
Alexandria. August 81. when candidate
will be chosen to run in opposition to
Charles c. Carlin of Alexandra. the demo.
cratic nominee. 1t Is understood that w. B.
King of Loudoun county has declined to be
the republican standardbearer. NJ. X.
Lowry Of Stafford county will probably
get the nomination.
The republicans of this district probably
will not make nominations for state sena-
tor or member Of the house Of delegates in
opposition to W. T. Oliver. democrat. but
Mr.. Oliver may be opposed by an inde-
pendent republican. whose name has not
yet been announced.

Series Of Earthquakes Continues.

Special CaDlegram to The Star.
LAIBACH OBSERVATORY, Austria. Au-
gust 20.-Prof. Belar says that the series of
earthquakes which began July 10 still con-
tinues at different points. Series and
groups Of earthquakes appear much more
distinctly In the summer than in the colder
season. While in that season almost daily
reports Of earth unrest are received, We OBJ
serve in summer thousands lasting for sew
eral days and even weeks. The expana-
ton may be found in the fact that in the
colder periods the almost continuous gen.
eral earth unrest is the occasion of the in
dividual shocks. but in summer this unrest
almost entirely disappears, and with II the
incentive to tho shocks.
All the more noticeable is, therefore. the
appearance Of the above noted signs of
earthquakes which often begin with a
series Of local disturbances and eliminate
In world catastrophe. which we register
here as a distan: earthquake. Were this
order Of proceeding reversed we could saw
that the series Of earthquakes was the Sc
quel of the catastrophe. But we are there
fore. all the more compelled to believe
that there may be other external forces
which exercise an influence on our seismic
center.
