For Higher Pay For Judges.
The bar association Of this place
has taken the initiative in a movement
to increase the salaries of Circuit
Judges throughout the State. and a.
lively scrap Is promised over the mat.

salaries now paid Circuit judges is
$1,000 n year. and the lawyers think
1t too little to secure good material
for the bench, The grangers in the
legislature, however. are expected to
take a different view of the matter,

the demand UP and presses 1t the

hard shedding in the house. Up to
two years ago Circuit Judges received

New Candidate for
TaxC COMMISSIONS

CHARLESTON, Jan. 1.-The pofiti.
cal gossips are busy just now dis
cussing the probable %ccess to the
office of State tax commissioner.
which C.. w. Dillon is about to resign.
Mr. Dillon has made no Official an.
no;incement OF h,s ACCESSION to Law
down the duties Of the office. but It is
an open secret that he will not hold
Of much longer. When the new tax
laws, among whose provisions was one
for n State tag commissioner, went
into effect a little less than two years
ago, there was much speculation as
10 the ma whom Governor Dawson
would name as commissioner. and
when he announced the appointment
Of Mr.. Dillon there was n general ex-
preston OF Endorsement throughout
the State, It came from all parties.
for the appointee was widely known
as 4 young lawyer OF great promise.
and a man of uncompromising fairness
and fiberaiity.
AS an instance of his manliness 1t
Ia recalled that he was a candidate for
reelection TO the office of prosecuting
attorney of Fayette county In 1900,
and when the returns showed that his
opponent had received a majority OF
the votes, though there seemed good
ground for contesting the election -
and, in fact. the Republican candi.
date for sheriff, against whom the ma.
jority on the face of the returns was
still larger, did contest and won the
ofice-Mr. Dillon refused to take the
matter into the courts. saying that
while the voters may have made some
technical mistakes in marking their
tickets, he was convinced a majority
of them had voted against him, and
he did not want the Office under those
circumstances. He took the office OF
State tax commissioner when appoint.
ed two years ago, believing that he
could perform its duties and still have
considerable time to attend to his
practice, which was growing rapidly.
hut he soon discovered his mistake.
The demands Of the Office are such
that he has no time to give to other
business, and so he has decided to
resign. Now the political spectators
want TO know who Is slated to succeed

Ex-Governor White Suggested.

Many believe It will be Ex-Governor
White. but the best informed eliminate
him from the equation, saying that he
now holds a more lucrative position,
and one with less Of worry. which he
would. not give Up for the commissions

of agencies for a life insurance com.
pany organized in this city a year ago,
and is making a success of 1t.
Judge w. N. Miller. OF Parkersburg,

and with excellent reason. He has
been a warm supporter Of Dawson and

COMMISSION STUDYING
 ABOUT HARTMAN
It Has Not Yet Determined Whether
 to Try to Pump Him Further or Not

Washington. March 2-The inter- state commerce commission today gave some attention Go the contemplated mandamus proceedings requiring F.. H. Hartman to answer certain questions which he declined to answer during the investigation into the Hartman roads in New York. Frank E. Kellogg. one of the special counsel who assisted in the inquiry told the commission he wanted some further time to examine the law before action is taken. The decision in the matter is therefore postponed.
 Counsel for the Hartman interests requested the commission to hear argu- ments before the report on the inquiry is completed. This will be granted and the debate heard early in April. The question of submitting testimony to the department of justice to determine whether 1t warrants proceeding under the sherman antitrust law will be de- termined later.

DEPRESSING CLOSE
 OF STOCK MARKET
The Various Causes Contributing to the Unsatisfactory Ending of the Week.

New York. March 2-Thc stock market today had another of the spells or recurrcnt weakness which charac- -erized it all week. There was a sharp .ally after the appearance of the bank statement but it did not hold and the last prices for some conspicuous stocks were the lowest of the day and week. The northwest group broke badly. es- pectally the Hill stocks. The weak ness was connected with reports from Washington that the interstate com mercc commissions inquiry into tho subject If capitalization would turn next to the Northern Pacific and it's reorganization several years ago. < disturbing effect was produced by reports that suits would be set on foot as the outcome of the Hartman in- vastigation. Fear of a strike by the Pennsylvania employees was fostered by a large vote reported in favor of The strike by the company's yardmen. Declines in local traction stocks were not explained. but they were of a sym pathetic effect upon the general weak ness of the market The t.me money market is. strong at a fractional ad- vance in rates.

OMINOUS SILENCE.
Leads to the Belief of the Existence
 of Trouble in Salvador.

City of Mexico. March 2-Complete lack of news from Salvador for three days is the cause of much specula- ti0n here General Figucro should have been installed as president of the republic yesterday and almost invaria- hly when a new president is install cd in one of the Central American re- publics without trouble an official dispatch to this effect is sent to Mex ico. yet no word haT been received from Salvador relative to the inaugu- ration.
 This fact. taken with the news re- .ceived some time ago stating that a revolution would break out before or just at the time when General Fi- gUcro attempted to assume office lends color to the belief that trouble has dcv, lopcd in Salvador.
