BOARD
FOR THAW
Justice Fitzgerald Decides That Such
Board May Determine
Thaw's Fate.
[Ry Assoctated Preaa.1 !

NEW YORK, March 26-Justice
Fitzgerald today decided to appoint
a commission OF lunacy in the Har-
ry x. Thaw case.
Fitzgerald's decision to appoint a
commission followed conference
with the attorneys in the case today.
The Justice said he had given var
ious affidavits consideration but as
they were SO widely at variance he
felt he could not properly pass upon
them. Therefore he decided best
to apopint the commission.
Thaw's trial before the jury will
now be interrupted pending the re-
port OF the commission. If he is
found insane he will be committed
to an asylum; if sane the trial will
be resumed

Pass Word Around Among Factory
and Mill Hands That One Dol

TRY TO FOOL THE VOTERS.
Register and Vote As You DO Not
Have to Pay One Single
Cent To DO So.

A good many Of the legal voters
in Clarksburg were former citizens
of PENNSYLVANIA, where the payment
of the one dollar capitation tax is
required before one can vote.
oome Of the Harmer leaders have
taken advantage Of this and are en-
gagged in another election fraud, by
telling the mill hands, the tin plate
men. the factory Hands and Others
that they will have to pay dollar
apiece before they can register. This
is falsehood SO glaring that they
ought to have known better than to
attempt to work that racket and thus
cheat men out of their votes.
1t does not cost a single cent to
register or to vote. and any one who
makes any other claim in this respect
knows he is telling barefaced false
hoods.
All the mill, factory. tin plate
hands and the store clerks are as
sured by the Telegram that 1t does
not cost anything 10 register, not one
cent, and every one that has been
told that it does, should go to the
Office of Houston G. Young next to
the police station and register at
once.
Every man entitled to vote should
go Immediately and register, so that
the Harmer crowd will have no op-
portunity election day TO rob you of
your vote or to prevent you from
voting.
Register at once.

SHOT TWO MEN
AND ESCAPED
Local Officers Asked to Look Out
for Emmett Dickerson by
Fairmont Police.

The Clarksburg police and county
officers were notified by telephone
from Fairmont police headquarters
Tuesday to be on the lookout for
Emmett Dickerson, who shot two
men in fight at the New England
mines.
Dickerson is described as being 5
feet 6 inches in height, weighing 100
pounds, light yellow in color, small
stubby mustache, wearing black
hat and black clothes. Officers in
all the cities and towns in this sec
tion have been notified to look out
for the man.
The men who were shot are Theo.
Huffman. who works in the New
England mines. and who is lying at
Cooks hospital dangerously near
1eath. and Charles Mccormick, who
is being cared for at the same place,
with bullet hole in both of his legs.
The shooting took place shortly
after 10 O'Clock Monday night and
was evidently unexpected by the vic
Tins. A party of five miners, of
whom the injured men were a part,
left Fairmont on the 10 o'clock car.
When alighting from the car to go to
their homes one of them brushed
against the negro. who was also
getting OF. Some remark was made
about him. but no further attention
was paid to the incident.
The negro evidently angered by
what had been said. followed the
party. and suddenly. opened FIRE on
them, firing five shots.

BL UE'S DEATH
WAS ACCIDENTAL
Indications Point to the Fact That
Suicide Theory Was Not
Correct One.

GRAFTON, March 26-A number
of circumstances have come to light
that would indicate that Major F.
Bruce Blue. late postmaster at Graf
ton, did not shoot himself with sui
cidal intent, but that his awful
death brought about by the discharge
of shotgun in his own hands was
purely accidental.
1t is known that neighbors told
him a few days before his end came
that marauders were frequenting the
lot on which his residence stands and
that he replied that he would "fli
them with bullets" should they
come around again. Next-door
neighbors say that one the morning
Major Blue shot himself they heard
these marauders about the lot.
1t is thought that Major Blue also
heard them, got up and probably
went with his gun and scared them
away; that he returned to his bed
room on the first floor and by some
mishap, probably by striking the butt
Of his gun-which was a hamerless
and easily discharged-upon the
floor, it was dicharged into his head
from under his chin, resulting in his
death.
Door Was Open.
A number of facts lead to this CON
clusion. The front door of the Blue
residence was found open when it
was learned that Major Blue had
shot himself, indicating that either
the marauders had entered or Major
Blue had gone out on to the porch
after them and returning to his bed
room had for some reason omitted
to close 1t. Beside his shotgun in
his room lay his loaded revolver.
which. had he Intentionally brought
about his death. he would doubtless
have used rather than a large, un-
wieldly shotgun. to discharge which
with finger and at the same time
hold the barrel under his chin would
be, to say the least, considerable
undertaking. And who. with the
sanity and superior intelligence of
Major Blue would kill himself with
suicidal intent merely because he
knew he was about to lose the Office
Of postmaster. and particularly If
the moving cause were the financial
loss It would entail, for Major Blue
was very well supplied with this
worlds goods, having been the owner
y several valuable properties in
Grafton?
And there are some other minor
considerations that indicate forcibly
hat the shooting which sent the soul
of Major F. B. Blue to the great be-
vond was purely OF
An Accidental Nature
md not Intentional. as was at first
reported. After he had shot him
elf and before his death he strug-
Eled to say something doubtlessly
row the shooting was brought about
but the organs of speech had been
orn away and he could not be un-
ierstood When his life went out
here went with it the truth Of just
row his untimely end was brought
lbout, and although it now seems to
have been an awful accident instead
Of an intentional suicide, there

During the year 1906 the activity in
railroad building was phenomenal. No
other year shows a record even approx
imating that OF the year which has Just
closed. Nor Was the activity confined
TO the building of railroads alone. 1t
extended TO equipment OF every charac-
ter. cars OF every class. motive power
and the like. Yet we are now confront
ed with an equipment and motive
power shortage that seriously menae es
the prosperity OF many sections of the
country.
During 1906 SEQ miles OF railway
were constructed. That is enough to
stretch from the Atlantic TO the Pacific
and two-thirds OF the way back again.
The $500 miles do not include sidings,
electric lines. spurs or second. third and
fourth tracks. They mean exactly
what they indicate. $500 miles OF new
railway. Forty-two states and terri
tories appear in the railway constitute

Reports from the car building compa-
MES show that they have been working
practically every minute without being
able to keep up with their orders. Up
wards of 24S.O0O cars OF all kinds were
built during the year and the demand
far exceeded the supply, although the
railroad companies built many cars in
their own shops. As compared with
1905, the increase was in excess OF 45
per cent The locomotive output did
not show as heavy n gain. probably for
the reason that for several years the

PLEASANT TIME WAS HAD.

There was a little informal dance in
Breathitt county, Kentucky. last Sat-
urday evening and, according TO the
society reporter. "A pleasant time was
had by all those present" The affair
broke up about midnight, for in Breath
ftt county they are mighty particular
about Sabbath observance. They
wouldn't for anything in the world
dance on the first day Of the week. We
know that the boys must have had a
splendid time, because there was an
abundance OF shooting after the white
whisky began getting in it's work
Mr.. Thomas Outlet was slain. Mr..
Walter Cole will lose an arm because
it was shattered by a bullet, and Mr..
William Little was shot in the back.
We find it difficult to believe that Mr..
Little was attempting to escape when
citizen of Breathitt would run from any
sort OF fight. 1t must be taken for
granted that Little was shot accidental
ly by some outsider. No other conclu-
sion is at all possible.
The Louisville Courier-Journal sug-
gests that the boys would hardly enjoy
q dance IL they didn't have shooting
scrape at some period Of it's progress.
Our contemporary also suggests a way
to avoid casualties and still not inter-
fere seriously with the hilarity OF the
joyous occasion. 1t says:
There is surely honor among noun
taineers. If every one would agree to
carry blank cartridges to the ball, or
to load his shooting irons with fat meat
or salt no one would. we are assured.
violate the agreement. The shooting
could take place as usual without the
usual number OF fatalities. amputa-
tons. permanent disabilities. undertake
ers' bills. doctors bills. alibi witness
fees. expenditures for hung juries, court
costs, lawyers fees and ensuing ferds
between surviving members of families
represented in social life"
Certainly the notion is not a bad one.
Some OF those mountaineers ought to
be permitted to grow up into more or
less useful citizens. They can have a
lot Of fun plugging away at each other
with fat meat and blank cartridges
and. besides, if they would adopt that
course, we honestly believe the women
would get more fun out Of the dances.
They would at least be fairly certain OF
going home with the man who took
them to the dance.
