OFFICIAL INSPECTION.
General Manager to Look After Traf
fic Matters and New Work.

Thomas Fitzgerald, general man
ager, and other officials of the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad Co have started
on their annual inspection of that sys-
executives just what improvement
work will be absolutely necessary this
year This will be compared with the
list of improvements requested by the
division superintendent and it is pos
sible that President Oscar G. Murray
and the vice presidents will also make
a trip over the system before taking
definite action on certain improve
proyements. 1t is understood that
some of the proposed new work, which
would mean an expenditure of several
millions of dollars, has been held up
by President Murray pending the re-
suit of the inspection.
Traffic has been unusually heavy
this year and, while the officials be
lieve that no serious concessions will
occur, it is admitted that all danger
is not entirely past. The freight car
shortage is more noticeable at pres
ent than at any time for the past two
months and considerable trouble has
been experienced in the motive power
department during the past few weeks
on account of the cold weather.

DECIDES AGAINST RAILROAD.
JUDGE MAsoNs DECISION IN TAX
APPEAL SUIT.
uphoIds Full Valuation Placed on Bal
timore G. Ohio BY Board of
Public Works.

Morgantown, Feb 12.--Judge Mason
of the Monongalia circuit court, today
handed down his decision in the tax
appeal suit instituted several months
ago in the Marion circuit court at
Fairmont, by the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad Co, in which the railroad ap-
pealed from the valuation placed on its
property in Marion county by the
state board Of public works.
Judge Mason decided that the valua
ton placed by the board of public
works was a fair one and therefore
denied the appeal of the railroad com
pany. The action of the board of pub.
lie works was upheld fully. 1t is I'M
derstood that the railroad officials will
appeal the case to the state supreme
court

Berkeley County Interested.

Many persons in Berkeley county
have awaited with a great deal OF in
terest the outcome of the appeal suit
in Marion county, owing to the fact
that similar suit was instituted in
the circuit court here. The Baltimore
& Ohio likewise appealed in every
other county in the state traversed by
the road. but the cases were held up
pending the result of the suit in the
Marion court.
In Berkeley county the state board
of public works placed the valuation
of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad prop
erty at $3,025, 900, and that of the
Cumberland Valley at about 81 ,000,-
900. Both roads refused to pay the
taxes on this basis of valuation, and
all the levying bodies of the county
and city have been greatly embarass'
ed thereby.

T. G. ROaCh'S Death at Pres
colt. Not Due to TuberCu.
lOSiS as Was First Be-
lieved by Physicians.
CONDEMNED BUT
NOT SENTENCED
Sufficient Quantities OF DrugFound
in His Cell to Have Killed Three
Men---FriendS Kept Affair
Secret AS Long as
Possible.

Prescott, Ariz., June 1t has de-
veloped that the death of T. q. Roach
which occurred TUESDAY at the coun-
ty Jail, where Roach was placed af-
ter being found guilty of the murder
of Jack Fletcher at Crown King, was
not due to tuberculosis, but to ven
shee" or cooked opium poison, taken
with suicidal intent.
After Roach was tried, his physical
condition was such that he was re-
turned to the Jail to recover strength
before being sentenced for the MUIR
der. He apparently became stronger,
but suddenly died Tuesday night.
Opium Found i'm Cell.
A search of his cell yesterday re-
suited in the discovery of opium sec
reted in various places sufficient to
have killed three men.
When Roach was stricken with his
mortal illness, DR.. Looney. the county
physician, used a stomach pump to
relieve his pain. The pump brought
up some dark colored matter which
is now known to have been opium,
and accordingly a burial certificate
was issued. stating that death was
due to opium poisoning.
Friends Kept Secret.
Friends of Roach, who was pop
ular, kept the real reason of his
death a secret as far as possible, but
the truth became known when the
jailer discovered the opium in the
cell.
His attorney states that he proposes
to press motion for new trial de-
spite Roach's death. but as the pres
ence of the defendant in court in such
cases is necessary the motion will bt
dismissed.

DRUNKEN TALK MAY
LEAD TO GALLOWS

Yuma. AriZ., June With no
other knowledge of the mans crimi-
nal history than the talking he did
In Yuma's underworld, while intOxi-
Gated, Yuma officers caught and held
"a negro wanted for the murder Of
a policeman at Houston, Texas.
Positively Identifying the bad man
Is a lisping tongue. By his stutter-
ing the Houston officers knew at a
word that the man held is the muir
Gerer they had trailed over many un-
available paths for six months past.
When the officers arrested the
man he told them his name was VIII
Jones. According to dispatches from
the Texas officials IL was while wear
ing the name of John Alfin that the
murder was committed. They now
are preparing to ask for Alfin's eX-
tradition and already have mailed
the Capias. They will come for him
- soon as il can be arranged.
Whether any reward hangs over the
negrO's head Is not known in Yuma.
To a tongue which was backed by
no brain when loosed by liquor Aim
will owe his death on the gallows il
he is convicted. Exhibiting a Smith
a Wesson special police revolver to
some of the people he met i'm Yuma,
he said: This is the gun that does
the work" Later he was beguiled
into a more detailed confession of
what that work had been, going so
far as To admit that he had shot a
Houston officer.
