Mayor Mahool received a letter yester-
day from James II. Don, superintendent
Of Poors Asylum, Halifax. and chairman
IF the charities committee OF that city.
He informed the mayor of Mrs. Gordon s

and wanted 10 return TO the United States
and go to New York. Mr.. Don asked for
a COPY of the certificates Of the birth of
the children demanded by the American
immigration commissioner. Mr.. MahOol
sent the letter Of request to health Com
missioner Bosley. The records of the de-
partment give only a certificate of the
birth Of Rose Jordon.

LIQUOR ISSUE A PROBLEM.
Georgia Authorities Find It al
Elephant on Their Hands.

AUGUSTA. Ga. January IA. = Attorney
General Hart has been asked for ruling
as to the disposition that shall be made of
liquors that may be seized in this county
under the prohibition law.
In a raid made several days ago on the
place of II. II. Oelrich, where a quantity
of liquor was seized. the goods had been
stored in the county courthouse. Oelrich
says the stock was not his, but the prop
erty of some one else.
The county authorities now want to
know what disposition to make of the
liquor. 1t cannot be sold under warrant
to satisfy thte costs of the court i'm the
trial of the case, because of the provision
of the prohibition law.
This is the first case of the kind. So fan
there have been seven arrests in Augusta
for violation of the law.

means an increased charge on the people.
Governors Explanation
Gov. Dawson takes twelve typewriter
pages. amounting to about 1000 words to
explain the call for the special session.
He starts with the truism that the people
have come to look on the assembling of a
legislature with fear and trembling and
ends by saying he has requested Pres
ident McDermott, Speaker. Seaman and
Evening star., 1908-01-14

Clerks Harris and Topping to limit the
number of attaches and to expedite bust
ness to the end that the session be brief
as possible. Ordinarily session costs
81. 800 day.
The governors own party leaders from
Senators Elkins and Scott down. for the
most part. advised against the special ses-
sion CALL. The rank and file doubted the
expediency of the session and wondered
whether its expense would be Justlfled
The party press almost without exception
was against it-or at best favored ses-
sion which embraced no more than two
or three of the topics considered the most
vital. But there was no more sentiment
for special session when Gov. White
boldly summoned one in 1904, one week
after the republicans had named their
state ticket. and that session proved OF
signal value in winning the election. In
this case Gov. Dawson may be going to
duplicate the achievement.
The old Virginia state debt Is due for
some caustic comment. Gov. Dawson in
troduces the subject apparently by bill
to provide for further legal expenses in
the conduct Of West Virginia defense
before the United States Supreme Court,
but the outlook is for a wider range OF
deliberation. Already opponents of the
administration declare that anything tend
ing to acknowledge liability on West
Virginia's part will weaken West Nir-
ginia's side of the case by giving an ap-
pearance of liability. They assert. with
show of authority. that Senator Spooner,
who has been retained to assist Attorney
General May and the other West Nir-
ginia lawyers was greatly disturbed
when he learned Gov. Dawson intended
legislative consideration. But probably
the true import of the governors speciIi-
cation was not then known fully. HIS
call purports to relate entirely to legal
expenses.
AS the debt claims are now held by a
private syndicate and on their face call
for about $4,000, 900. 1t is seen that there
Is big game at stake. Eminent lawyers
Of both parties in West Virginia Lave held
and still hold retainers from the men who
are pushing the claims now.
Mann Enjoys a Boom.
Isaac T. Mann, the coal operator of the
fifth congressional district, is enjoying a
boom for the place as delegate at large
to the republican national convention,
and the rumor has gone forth that he is
to be groomed as candidate for Senator
Scott's seat. The latter rumor revolves
around the three-cornered fight for the
republican gubernatorial nomination. 1t
is said the Swisher forces are inclined to
back Mann, In return for promised sup
port for Swisher in Manns district. and
also to force Scott to take up the Swfsher
banner. Scott has maintained neutral
attitude heretofore. and is enabled to do
this consistently because his own county
has in Hearne one of the three candidates
to succeed Dawson.

LOUVRE ART WORKS
IN DEADLY NEED OF PLAIN
SOAP AND WATER.
Special Cablegram TO The Star.

Special CablegTam TO The Star.
PARIS, January 14.-An absorbing con-
troversy. In which soap and water play
a conspicuous part, has been started by
Henry Duveen of London. who. during
short stay In Paris. has set the Louvre
authorities by the ears by saying they
were not keeping their great art treasures
clean. The keepers have been uneasy
for some days, and. smarting under his
rather strong. but true, criticisms. The
main points of the discussion are as to
whether the pictures in the Louvre are
sufficiently cleaned and whether they are
properly framed In raising these aues-
tions Mr.. Duveen has touched upon
matter which has no doubt often struck
visitors to the worlds greatest art treas
rry. Persons who went there to admire
beautiful painting of Murilo, Rem
brandt, Raphael and other great masters
have frequently been disappointed by the
appearance of soma of the most famous
paintings in the world. The colors seem
ed dull. indistinct, and in some cases.
entirely obliterated, and people asked
are these the great works of art which
have made the pames of their masters
immortal? Mr. Duveen suggests that if
any of the old or later masters like
Raphael or Watteau came back to Efe
and saw their pictures as they are pre-
sented at the Louvre they would be shock
ed and might not even recognize their own
work.
Duveen Will Go Bail.
The whole trouble is that the dust and
dirt Of ages has been allowed to accumu-
late on the canvas until the colors and
sometimes even the designs are scarcely
recpgn1able. All thus is naturally done
not out of neglect, but out of too great
respect for the works of these masters,
which are supposed to De too sacred to
be touched When the men employed
at the museum are detailed at rare inter
walls to dust the pictures IL is done with
such infinite precaution that the feathers
of the busters barely touch the surface
OF the canvas, and only a few superficial
particles are blown away. Mr.. Duveen's
criticism has had the result of awakening
the authorities and calling their attention
10 the fact that this is hardly just to the
great masters. Mr. Duveen suggested
that soap and water were used with
splendid result in the kaser's gallery
in Berlin and many other art galleries
all over the world. The curator of the

would be catering also to the latent Senti-
ment in the southern section of the state

McGraw's Alleged Detection.
Col. John T. McGraw. the democratic
national committeeman. threw himself
open recently to censure of the ardent
Bryan men by a letter which warmly
praised Gov. Johnson of Minnesota for
suggesting tariff reform as the party
paramount in the coming campaign. The
McGraw letter omitted reference to the
presidency, but 1t served to arouse the
Bryan men more for its possible interpre-
tation of West Virginia's attitude in other
states.
The Bryan men. who are after all, %

not want impression created that
