SION The resolution was passed in the
exact form in which it was prepared
by the administration.
Sec. 6. It's a well known fact that
the State Of Virginia has no interest
ii the subject matter of the pending
suit, as the so-ealled West Virginia
bonds are held together by spectators,
who purchased the same for trifie.
1t has been currently reported for q
good many years that certain citizens
of West Virginia are interested in
these bonds, either as owners or other
wise. and the representatives Of the
people should have had some voice in
the selection Of thi 5 commission to the
end that no one should have been APP
poiHted thereon, whose interests are
in any wise adverse to those Of the
I State of West Virginia.
| In view of the foregoing, we disclaim
and decline to be held responsible for
any advice or counsel given by said
commission to the said Attorneys Gen

respectfully request those members
who are named on said mission as
Democrats, and who have been select

sent, TO decline to serve thereon. Sign

matter. If com mission should havs
been deem proper and the attorneys
and BOARD of Public Works had so re-
ported to the Legislature, the Legisla-
ture would, so far as the Democrat
could contribute to that end, have per-
mitted the board to name such COM

named'a commission was presented
and We were asked to endorse their
course and selection without being
given any voice as to !eilher the per-

would place upon the Legislature the
entire responsibility Tor the course pur-

any participation in the selection of
the com mission or prescribing its du-
ties or powers.

The most important event in newspaper circles in recent weeks is the purchase by MT. Charles H. Gras- ty of a half interest in the St. Paul Dispatch. Mir. Grasty until recently has for some years been editor of the Baltimore News, which owes its prominence and influence in that part of the south, largely to his genius. MT. Grasty, one of the best known newspaper men in the country. began his Journalistic career in Kansas City about a score of years ago.

RACE HORSES IN THE cLANsMAN


 The equine actors in The Clansman' have become famous from one end of the country to the other. The animals are taken on tour in a special box car. They are not ordinary nags, by the way but retired race horses including sey- eral Old-time winners of handicaps and stake events, and they served their stage apprenticeship in the famous chariot race in Ben Hur." One of them is named "Erlangder" after the head of the Theatrical Trust.
