Thursday morning, wherein Frank
Vissoc had Rock Shabetta arrested.
1t appeared from the testimony that
Shabetta accused Vissoc of taking $40
belonging to him and during the ar
gument over the loss of the money it
was claimed IShabetta struck ViS-
soc, injuring him. The most surpris-
ing part of the evidence was when
tfe accused admitted, in answer to a
question by counsel, that during his
slumbers he dreamed Vissoc took his
money This so surprised the court
and fastened him to arrive at the
conclusion. that the accusations made
on both sides were all dreams and at
once dismissed the case at the costs
Of the complainant.

MAYOR WEAVER
LComes Out. Strongly
For Municipal
Ownership
and A MUNICIPAL BANK

Philadelphia, Pa, March 21.-May-
or Weaver came out strongly for mu-
nicipal ownership in a message to-
day to councils in which he advocat-
ed the establishment of a municipal
bank. 1t was no surprise to those
who have followed the mayors ideas,
for on more than one occasion ne
has expressed himself as being strong
ly in favor of the city taking over
the entire system of street cars. IL
will be remembered that 1t was MS
plan that the city take back the gas
works that led to the memorable po-
litical revolt in May, 1905.
The message was the result OF the
mayors failure to negotiate more
than $125, 900 at par Of the $5.OOO,OOo
loan.
The introduction of the message
caused a mild sensation in councils
when 1t was read. Banking interests
represented by certain members stat
ed afterwards that there was no pos
sibility of the mayors project ever
becoming a reality as there was law
preventing the city from entering
into business.
The establishment of such a bank
as that proposed by Mayor Weaver,
would withdraw from city banks from
$13, ,OOO, 900 to $2O,OOO,OOO each year,
The city gets only two per cent. in
terest, so the reason for the objec-
ton of banking interests may be read
lily seen. Mayor Weaver in his mes
sage points out that while the city
gets only two per cent the banks IN
which the money is deposited loan the
same money at six per cent.

MAJ. DANIEL is CONTENT
TO SERVE AS a SENATOR
Declares Use of His Name in connec-
ton With the Presidential! Noml.
nation Is Futile.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 25.-The
statement made by Alexander Troupe,
editor Of the New Haven Union, and
intimate friend of William jennings
Bryan, to the effect that Thomas +.
Ryan has reached an understanding
with Senator John w. Daniel, whereby
Senator Daniel Is to have his support
for the presidency In return for Dam
ieps support for the Virginia sena-
torship, which Major Daniel now
holds is the veriest rot
Senator Daniel, in the course OF n
talk. said that 1t was idle to seriously
consider his name in connection with
the presidential nomination.. He said
that he was content to serve in his
present capacity, and that he aspires
to no other position.
He said then that no one but the
yellow journals. who sought to slap
Mr.. Ryan, would treat seriously the
statement that Mr.. Ryan was figuring
on making race for the Virginia
senatorship.
Friends of Senator Daniel believe
that the Troupe interview is but a
slap at Senator Daniel because he has
had the courage to oppose some of
the policies advocated by Mr.. Bryan.

HOUSTON TO BE SCENE
OF Lounges TRIAL
Change or venue Carries Nelson Muir
der Case to County Seat of
Halifax.

RICHMOND, VA, May 25.-In this
city the general impression is that
Judge VIM. G. Loving's trial for the al
legged murder of Theodore Estes will
take place at Houston, the county
seat OF HaliftX county, as that town
Is the residence of Judge William X.
Barksdale, who has been designated
by Governor Swanson to sit In the
case.
The grand jury OF Nelson county
VIII meet next Monday and. of course,
no doubt Is entertained as to the in
dictment of the accused. On the fol-
lowing Wednesday, Judge Barksdale
fwilfTanpeRpson the bench ut Lowing
ton. the county seat, and then Will
hear motion for change or venue,
In accordance with section 4O36 or
the Code.
All things considered, there is GER
tainly no particular reason why Judge
BarEsdale should not prescribe Hous-
ton us the place for the trial. Aside
from Houston suiting his own con-
Venience and offering him library ia.
cilities which might not be obtained
elsewhere, the town In question is
strictly neutral ground far removed
from any prejudices which may have
arisen in connection with the homi.
eide. Then, too. Halifax Is not more
than eighty miles or so from Nelson
county. SO the mileage costs will be
reduced. whereas an inquisition at a
more distant point might involve
great expense.
II would appear that II Judge Low
ing is tried in Halifax, it would de-
volve upon the Commemorative At
torney of that county to prosecute the
hccused. This official is William
Leigh On the other hand, IL the
case does not go out of Nelson, the

And apropOs of this. 1t may be said
that there is nothing either in. law
or ethics which would require MIR.

even If 1t went to Halifax; that is to
say, II he desired to continue his con-
nectiton with the trial he might so
arrange the matter with Mr.. Leigh,
but this he would hardly care to do.
No one Has ever doubted for mo-
ment that Mr.. Whitehead would dc
