FAKE STORY
ABOUT WATER
NO INTENTION OF DRAINING pool
10 AND NO COMPLAINT
r AGAINST 3. AND o.

The morning paper created O little
scare when it announced that the Uni.
ted States government would drain
pool NO. Is to make some minor re-
pairs on the lock at Hoult. The power
house at cayenne and other local in,
dustries were to suffer even legal pro.
ceedings were to be instituted to pre-;
vent the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
COMPANY from hauling water to other
points to maintain the operation Of
transportation OF its passenger and
freight traffic. =
The fact of the matter was that
there never was any intention Of
draining pool No. is and surely no
one ever thought of instituting pro-
ceellngs against the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company Restraining
the Company !froW<glsing and hauling
away water to use as long as the river
was full.
Fatrmont has an ABUNDANCE of wa.
ter. More than enough to supply
clarksburg and Grafton should those
cities need it. and this city. There
would then be enough and some to
spare VITA the Balytimore and Ohio
Railroad Company consuming five
times the quantity it new uses. There
would then be enough in pool No. IS
to supply all for five months.
Major Newcomer OF Pittsburg, was
here yesterday and inspected the locks
between here and Morgantown. He
stated that he found them in first
class condition.
The river is now one and cne-half
inches higher than it was two weeks
ago.
There is no need of scare ami
there should be none. The pool will
not be drained. The indications are
for rain and soon the supply will be
replenished and other places as well as
Fairmont will have good water sup.

SAYS BRYAN DID SAY IT
Hearst Repeats Assertion That He Was
Offered a Trade.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 12-William R.
Hearst, when shown Mr.. Bryan's de-
NAL of Mr.. Hearts statement that
Bryan four months ago proposed to
support Mr.. Hearst four years hence,
in return for Mr.. Hearst's support in
this campaign, made the following
statement:
II do not see why Mr.. Bryan is al
ways proposing policies that he has to
recant, saying things that he has to
retract and doing things that he has
to deny.
when Mr.. Bryan came to New York
some four months ago I did not call
on him as 1 had nothing to see him
about. He did call on me as apparent
ly he had something to see me about.
II kept his visit secret, but Mr..
Chanler in suit against me stated in
his affidavit that he had seen Mr..
Bryan at my house and so the visit
was inadvertently made public. That
visit was without result as 1 purposely
ceived an invitation from a friend of
mine to dinner. When 1 went to the
dinner I found Mr. Bryan. After the
dinner Mr.. Bryan stepped aside with
me in the hall and said exactly what
/ said he did.
at wish he had not said 1t. 1 was
surprised and Inundated by the pro-
position 1t showed that Mr.. Bryan had
no appreciation or conception of the
work l had done for him or of the rea-
son I had worked so hard and made
so many sacrifices in the cause. 1t
showed that he considered me merely
a trader working for some personal ad-
vantage of promotion in politics. 1 left
the house Inundated as I say, but more
than ever opposed to Mr.. Bryan. more
than ever convinced that 1 was right
in opposing him."

BENNETTASUICIDE.
He Was for 20 Years Manager of
the Arlington Hotel.

New York, Sept 12.-Frank Ben
nett, So years of age, said to be the
manager of a hotel in Washington, D.
c., committed suicide by shooting in
the Hotel Gotham at Fifth avenue
and Fifty-fifth street today.
Member of Gridiron Club.
Washington, Sept. 12.-Frank w.
Bennett was one Of the best known
hotel managers in the country. For
20 years he was manager of the
Arlington hotel in this city, where he
was intimately associated with Theo-
dore E. Rosie, the late proprietor of
that hotel.
Mr.. Bennett left here for New
York in the spring of 1903, to take
charge of the Hotel Gotham. He left
that hotel some time ago and since
then had no hotel connection so far
as was known here. Probably no
hotel man in the United States had a
wider acquaintance particularly
among statesmen and newspaper men
than Bennett. He was a member of
the Gridiron club.
