Ing rise to the report that a shot
was fired from ambush upon Presi-
dent Roosevelt last Saturday.
According TO the story in circula-
ton here the shot was fired from n
clump OF bushes near the roadside
while the President and friend were
returning from horseback ride last
Saturday.
The report OF the shot came from
close at hand. 1t is said, and after the
first shock OF surprise which caused

ward, Mr.. Roosevelt turned abruptly
Nnbout and prepared to dismount and
rush on foot into the thickct. He
was dissuaded by friend, however,
and together they gallopcd away to
Sagmorc Hill.
No Information at all regarding the
incident came from the Presidents
home or executive offices here. but It
appears from the story as later told
that Camille Weidenfcld. of New
York, n banker, was driving with
Mrs. WeIdenfeld in the vicinity and
was a witness to the occurrence.
None has yet been found, however,
who saw the man who is said to have
fired the shot.
The general opinion seems to he
that II the shot was fired it was by
some hunter who was totally unawere
OF tho presence of the President in
the vicinity.

HUGHES SENTIMENT
Is Being Ascertained at the
Primary Election in
New York.

NEW YORK, Sept. S-More inter-
csting than any other feature of the
Republican primaries in Greater New
York today was the so-called Hughes
test. In all the election districts OF
the ten assembly districts in Man
haitian and two in Brooklyn the en-
rolled voters party were asked
whether or not they favored the
denomination OF Hughes. Outside
this there was little more than local
Interest In any OF the districts. Ex-
cept for the struggle in Kings coun-
ty. which may he mean the down
fall OF Senator McGarren and tri-
umph in that boropgh of Leader
Murphy of Tammany Hall, there was
also little general interest forshad-
owed for the Democratic primaries.

Charleston, ". Va.

August %. 1908.
I hereby carefully examined the
new registration law. chapter 19,
Acts Of the Legislature, 1908, Extra
ordinary Session, and find no pro-
vision therein requiring the voter to
appear person before the Registrar
in order to have his name listed as
a voter. I am. therefore. OF the
opinion that any application made
to the Registrar that will satisfy
such Registrar that the voter is a
legally qualified voter OF his precinct,
ought to be sufficient; but in the
event there is objection to the regis
tering Of any voter and there Is any
doubt in the minds OF the Regis
trars as to the qualification of the
voter, 1 am of the opinion it would
be wise to thoroughly examine the

Does Charles W. swisher,
Again Proving His Homes
ty and Loyalty.
WILL STAND BY HIS PARTY
And Garry Out Wishes of tile
Majority by Remaining
the Nominee.


Secretary of the Republican State
Committee Virgil L. Highland, who
is in charge of headquarters here
during the absence OF State Chair
man S. v. Matthews. and Hon. C. w.
swisher in the east, issued the follow
Ing statement to the state press to-
day: 49,
Mr.. Swlsher has not withdrawn,
nor will he. He has met the propo-
sitions made by the ticket splitters
that were of sufficient importance to
demand answer from loyal, regu-
lar party man. who holds Republican
triumph at the polls above the selfish
considerations of personal ambition.
They charged, first, that Mr..
Swisher's objections to the presiden-
tial electors being placed on their
ticket placed West virginia's electoral
vote in jeouardy and that he took
this stand because he held his own
interests above those of his party.
His answer to this was telegram to
the subcommittee of the national
committee In New York that he had
no objections to Taft electors, con-
gressmen, legislative or other candl-
dates going on any other ticket.
Second Charge Refuted.
Their second charge was that he
would not withdraw II man OF the
caliber of Judge Nathan Goff would
take the nomination and unite the
party. They proposed that swisher
withdraw and Scherr would eliminate
himself, and Judge Goff should be
handed the party standard. They
announce as a fact, prior to the
meeting of the subcommittee in New
York and before that meeting, that
they had every definite assurance
that Judge Goff would accept. Here
again they challenged Mr.. Swishel s
party patriotism. His answer was
that he would cheerfully sacrifice all
that he had achieved, brush aside a
nomination honestly, honorably and
regularly won. hand over the stand
ard placed in his hands by majority
of the regularly constituted dele.
gates, and step aside for Judge Con.
He accepted their proposition fair ard
square. He had no knowledge that
Judge Goff would not accept. They
had stated IN New York that he
would.
StayS In the Hare.
''Mr. Swisher remains in the race.
the regular nominee of a regular par
ty convention. He has met his op-
ponents on their own terms aud
proved his broadmindedness. un-
selfishness and high party patriotism.
The subcommittee tomorrow, / be-
lieve. will recognize him as the regu-
lar nominee and the national commit
tee will give the Republican state
ticket every assurance. The one
thing he has striyen for in this con-
tention from the first was for regn-
larity; that no plan to wreck the
superb party organization in West
Virginia. built up after years of hard
end patient struggle, should be given
offictal approval by the high tribunals
Of the party. In short, that no
premium be placed on disloyalty. nor
invitation given to prosecute boiling
and party wrecking in the present
campaign or those to come in future
years"

MURASKY VIEWS
FIRING OF BLASTS
Superior Judge Attends ExplO-
siOns in Quarry at the lnvi-
tation of Gray Brothers
Police Court Holds That the
Shots Are Not a Mis-
demeanOr

The police court having decided that
blasting at the Castro and Thirtieth
street quarries of Gray Brothers is not
a misdemeanor crime, a permit having
been issued by the board of public
works, Judge Murasky yesterday visit
ed the quarry and remained while
three shots were exploded. He was
present at the invitation of Gray
Brothers, who have been temporarily
enjoined from blasting there. and
who wished to demonstrate 10 the
judge that the blasting does no dam
age. Accompanying the judge were
his clerk, Horace Jackson, Assistant
Harry Gray and Attorney Fisher Ames,
representing Gray Brothers.
The three blasts, which had been
of Gray Brothers, proved quite harm
less-not at all like those exploded
some weeks ago. which. according to
testimony in the case, shattered win
dows, cracked walls and showered
yard. The shots let off yesterday did
not throw the broken rock more than a
foot or two above the level of the earth
and there was no appreciable vibration.
Steinhart spoke skeptically of the
demonstration" He asserted that the
blasts were not nearly as heavy as
those exploded on ordinary occasions
when a judge was not present and in
timated that in his opinion the eXhi-
bition was a piece of deception to mis-
lead the Judge.

RETURNING CHINESE
Merchants and Laborers May
Now Land Without Under

Only Those Diseases Subject to

The oriental steamship lines and To-
cal Chinese are very much pleased over
the ruling of the immigration depart
ment which will permit returning Chi
nese merchants and laborers to land
in the United States without under
going a physical examination. Hereto
fore all Chinese who returned to the
United States after a visit to China
have been subjected to the regular
physical examination, and those suf-
fering from any ailment Of a serious
nature were not allowed to land.
Many cablegrams were sent to
friends and relatives in China last
night, and now that the restrictions
have been modified hundreds of Chi
nese who were refused landing in the
United States will return here. 1t is
expected that many complaints will
be made to the immigration depart
ment by Chinese exclusionists and
others.
Chinese suffering from diseases SUBJ
