AGREES ON A JUDGE
NATHAN GoFF FOR GOVERNOR OF
 WEST VIRGINIA
Republican Factions Withdraw seherr And Swfsher Withdraw in Favor
 of Man Who VIII Heal

New York. Sept, 5--Nathan Golf of the United States Circuit Court of Parkersburg, W. Va, will be the Re-
 publican candidate for governor of
 that state, if an agreement between these two factions for the approval of the National Republican Committee which was asked to determine which faction was regular, today ended in the announcement of withdrawal of both men, Sw.sher and Scherr upon condition that Judge Golf be nominat- ed Judge Golf is said to be willing to accept.
 Both $. c. scherr. who Is the candi- date for Governor of the Lincoln Re- publican party and c. A. swisher. can- didate for the same office on the regu- lar Republican ticket declared today their willingness to retire from the race in favor of Judge Golf. It was explained that the judge had never been involved in any political controversy and that he stood high In the estimation of all Republicans in West Virginia regardless of fac tionai affiliations
 Since his appointment to the bench, Judge Golf has given little attention to political matters. 1t was said, and Tor that reason had not been drawn Into the present situation. It was de- cared that the nomination of Judge Golf. provided he would accept the honor, would immediately clear up the situation and bring harmony in the Republican party throughout the state of West Virginia.
 Republican national leaders had been greatly disturbed over the possibility of continued strife in the party ranks resulting in a Democratic victory in West Virginia But It. was asserted that the harmonizing of the two fac- tions would undoubtedly once more place the state in the safe column.
 The fight had recently reached such an acute stage that an appeal was made by the adherents of Mir. Swish CT and Mir. Scherr to the Republican National Committee to attempt an anicable settlement of the dispute. The national committee thereupon ap- pointed q subcommittee of three men- bers to hear testimony Tn the case. This committee held several meetings during the present week and had an- nounced decision in the matter for next Wednesday.
 At Republican national headquarters today the statement was given out that both sides in the controversy had ex- pressed their willingness to sacrifice interests in behalf of the Re- publican presidential ticket. This was then taken as an indication that the Swisher and Scherr forces were endeavoring to effect d settlement among themselves, and the announce ment of their withdrawal in favor of Judge Golf quickly, followed.

A COOL BURGLAR.
Took Charge of House And Baffled
 Police.


 Paris. Sept, 5--A curious adventure happened on a recent evening to a lady living In the Avenue Victor Hugo. She had dined with friends, and on returning home heard a noise in her flat. and went downstairs to ask for help. The concierge and several neighbors accompanied her to her flat, and found burglar undressed and in her bed. When they entered the room the man looked up from the pillow much surprised. and expostuiated mild ly; T know I was wrong. but don't you think you are unkind to bring in rel?'
 The owner of the flat was staseer- ed at first by the mans assura nee. but quickly recovered herself. and told the concierge to lay hands on him The man laughed. E
 Surely you know me perfectly wtelly he said to the concierge, and the con. cierge was so nonplussed that he could not answer. Just then one of the par ty ripped over a burglars outfit which had been pushed against the wall They thereupon rolled the bur glar In blanket, and tying him m they carried him to the nearest police station, where he was found to be a dangerous convict named Paul Breton.

THE JORDAN KILLING.
Police Believe Woman Was struck
 With FIntfron,

Boston. Sept. 5--The belief express ed by the medical examiners after their autopsy on the dismembered body of Mrs Honorah Jordan yesterday that she was struck upon the head with some blunt instrument before being cut up by her husband, Chester s. Jor- dan, has been apparently corroborated with the finding in a closet of their home In Somerville of flat iron which was covered with blood and to which clung a quantity of hair.
 The finding of the blood-covered fiat-iron tends to discredit a portion of the confession of Jordan. who stated that the only blows which he dealt his wife after her taunt were by his fist. and following which he remem- bered nothing.
 This discrepancy has led the police to believe that other portions of his story may be equally wrong

 The insurance companies insist upon raising the rate asked by the ware housing companies, and as the lattsr's policies aggregate more than 100. o00.- 900 yen annually. this increase of rates becomes very serious question. |.
