WHAT is A COUNTY sEAT7
Summit Gets Its Answer From Atty.
Gen. Brcedon This Morning.

Atty. Cen Breeder returned today
an opinion holding that all county Off
GERS in counties having more than 5000
population must maintain their offices
at the county seat. The opinion IS in
reply to a query from County Atty.
Evans at Coalyile. and the attorney
general says. II am in receipt OF tins
following proposition upon which you
seek my official opinion, towit, 'Whetn-
er the county officers OF Summit coun-
" are required TO have their offices at
the county seat, the county having
more than 5000 population also, may
the county recover the rents heretofore
paid for offices maintained In town
other than the county seat, and II so,
upon whom does the duty deVolve to
compel compliance with the statute
ana to recover rents"
In reply to this inquiry, | beg to
direct your attention to Sec. 5iS, Rev.
st. OF 1898. which, insofar as pertinent
TO the present inquiry reads as follows:
The clerks, recorders ana treasurers OF
all counties, and except in counties
having a population OF less than 5000
all other county officers must have their
offices at the county seat The require
ments of this section are so plain that
there ought not TO be any misunder-
standing by any county official of his
duties In this respect Practically all Of
the counties In the state have provided
county buildings at the county seats,
at the county expense, for the accom-
mediation of the various county officers;
and when they are elected and qualified.
the statute directs that all county Off
GERS of counties having more than 5000
population shall maintain their offices
at the place provided for them by the
county, at the county seat; and such
Offices being maintained elsewhere is
without authority IN lazy: and any rents
or expenses paldy out of the county
funds for the maintenance OF such Of
fees is void; and by Sec. SOC, Rev. St,
the county attorney Is authorized and
directed 70 institute suit against the
county commissioners and their bonds
men TO recover any amount thus illeg-
ally paid out.
1T must be understood that the main
office must be kept and maintained at
the county seat for the accommodation
and convenience of all the people of the
county having business with such Of
fees. There would be no legal objec.
ton. II the county commissioners
deemed It advisable to authorize
county officer to have deputy at
some locality other than the county
seat, 10 be maintained without expense
TO the taxpayers OF the county.

Attorney General"

Although under arrett, Newton did

This morning he appeared before
Justice of the Peace Dana r. Smith

pleaded not guilty and the request that
the bond be reduced to $500 was
promptly granted by the court, and
within an hour afteg this action was
taken, the bond was furnished and
Newton was released from clStody.
That he will make vigorous fight

A THIRD SALOON
UNDER THE BAN
The Bingham Buffet Which Only
Gave S25 to the Fund" is
Now in DiSrepute.
OTHERS DON'T CARE TO TALK.
But II Is n Positive Fact That Men
Who Wouldn't Contribute Had
Their Saloons Closed.

Saloon keepers who have been vio-
latlng the Sunday liquor law, and who
have been refused license for their
offense, may yet have an opportunity
to renew their business. but 1t will all
depend upon the action of American
party bosses and what they viii con-

ICY" The right policy" pertains
to the matter of certain saloon keepers
who dug up" for campaign purposes
before the recent election, and those
who refused to be bled by the Amer
lean reform praty. That many did
come through" with generous con-
tribu,ions and have received protection
therefor, there is no doubt and that
certain ones who refused absolutely to
be separated from their money were
marked, and did not receive protection,
is equally certain.
REFUSED TO DIG UP.
The proprietors OF the White House
bar, recently refused licence, did not
make a contribution. In fact they
positively refused to do so. II is said
In seml-political circles that one 7.
Homer, patriot" and another Amer
lean" party worker, called on Wei
man and Metcalf and demanded money
for the campaign, but were met with
a fiat refusal. Since they were refused
q new license they, and many others,
believe their n-compliance with the
come through" rule is responsible
for their present trouble The White

the matter today, as their attorney adj

of conditions prevail. His place OF
business, 1856 west Second South, was
placed under the ban when Chlet OF
Police Sheets did not approve BIun
application for a new license. Brun
was arrested and convicted on the
charge of Sunday liquor selling, but

that he was quite sure that Brun MADE

Il was hardly likely that the saloon
man knew for what purpose he was
giving his money
ANOTHER CLOSURE COMING.
Inquiries concerning these two
cases brought to light another one;
not a case of a saloon already closed
but one which will most likely be
refused license when application for
the same Is made within short time.
The place in question IS the Bing-
ham Buffet, conducted by one O'Niel.
His license will expire in few days
and II has been stated semi officially

PARDON US. MIR. MAYOR"
But the saloon men may be able to
overcome the difficulties now in their
Path, and may be able TO resume bust
ness. This depends entirely upon the
action of Mayor Thompson with ref
erence to a suggestion which will be
made to him, namely that he pardon
the violators OF the Sunday law "for
this one offense," but that the pardon
shall serve as warning that II they
do not observe the order in the future,
they Will be refused q license.
In support of this proposed sugges-
ton, 1t is claimed by attorneys for the
saloon men that the order to close up
came with a great shock and sudden
ness TO the liquor dealers and there
fore they should be given another
chance.

BIG TRADE OPPORTUNITIES
OPENING FOR BALTIMORE

3; The transfer Of the present Atlantic
battle-ship fleet to the Pacific will
lave consequences so deeply affecting
the soft coal trade that some experts
+ anticipate revolution in coal ship
ments from Atlantic ports. Millions
of tons of coal will have to be shipped
, TO Pacific ports for the use Of battle.
ships, and necessarily this coal must
60 in ships from Eastern ports, as
railroad rates on such bulky freight
for trans-continental haul would be
practically prohlbitive. 1t Is stated
that the difference in favor Of the
ocean route is from $6 to So ton.
Baltimore is already we'll establish
ed as an important port for shipments
OF steam coal, and the springing mp of
this new demand presents great trade
opportunities. No other section OF
the country is 80 advantageously sit
uated in relation to the principal soft
coal fields of the interior as the Ches.
apeake bay region. There the West
ern Maryland and West Virginia coal,
which hold the highest rank in steam
value, find their natural commercial
outlets. The opinion that the gather
ing of battle-ships in the Pacific rep.
resents permanent policy is preba-
bly, we'll founded. The accompanying
demand for shipments of steam coal
to the Pacific will be continuous, and
the trade thus opened will be steady.
With the completion Of the canal de-
mand will be greatly augmented, as
extensive additional markets will be
opened, to all of which Baltimore
stands in singularly favorable posi-
ton. All this means much for the
business prosperity and industrial
progress of that city.
