FUNNY STORY
Is That An 0ver-ZeaIous Press
Agent Gets Up About the
State Senators.
tspccIal Corrcspondcncc.l J

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb. 20.-
Auditor scherr's press agent claims
to have taken a pole of the senate
which would show that nearly every
Republican member Of that body Is
for scherr for the Republican nom
ination for governor. The article
which tells of the poll and
which was written by his official press
agent goes on to say that this body
is for scherr now and always and In
Inmates that the senators live and die
by the auditors wishes.
In his excitement the press agent
goes on to charge that Secretary Of
State swsher has been influencing the
scherr senators and it was through
swisher that the prohibition amend.
ment was defeated.
The article is causing much amusc-
mcnt here. The politicians are ask,
ing how 1t comes that swisher car
dictate to the scherr men. They
seek to know why If the senate is a
scherr body that scherr is not to be
held responsible for the prohibition
amendment failing to pass.
The facts Of the case are that III,
senators pay little attention to an!
candidate for governor or for an!
other position when It comes to yo
ting. The fact is that the sentlmen
Of the upper house was against sub
mitting this matter to the people an,
1t is believed that two or possibI!
three more votes could have beel
mustered to defeat the resolution Ii
the event Of their being necessary,
1t is not believed that such article
are calculated to aid Auditor scherr'
candidacy, nor is it believed that tn
attacks on swlsher's private charac
ter will be well received throughou
the state.

Delegations Of Citizens Come
From Both Places to At
lend Board Meeting.
DIFFERENCES OF OPINION
Exist With the Board Over the
Question Of Removal at
Its Secret Sessions.

At sessions Of the board Of trus-
tees Of Broaddus Institute Thursday
forenoon and afternoon, propositions
were presented for the re-
moyal Of the school to anoth-
er point, by delegations udvo-
eating and setting forth advantages
and Inducements of their respective
communities. Bridgeport and Phil
ippi were the active contestants. The
former offered forty acre site, with
the prospect Of its being ninety acres
in the no distant future, all free, and
$4,000 in cash; which has all been
subscribed, while Phlllppl offered
$4,000 In cash and all the ground
desired, there being all sorts OF va
cant spaces in that not over-grown
Interior town.
The board was called to order ut
the morning session by President s.
y. Reed and the follo@lng other
members responded to the roll call:
Rev L. w. Holden, II. d. Bough-
ner, L. w. Garrett, of CIarksburg;
Rev. L. B, Moore. of Parkersburs;
George NJ. Whitescaryer, Of Grafton;
r. e. Talbot, of PhIlippl; and Mrs.
Belle Payne. of Falrmont The alb.
sentees are Rev. NJ. L. Wood, Of
Huntington; Ross Ward Of Pennsyl-
vanla; and e. j. Thomas, of Man
nington.
The morning session was executive
and none but the members OF the
board and those closely identified
with the Institution were permitted to
be present. Just what took place is
not matter of publicity, but there is
a strong belief that some serious DIFF
ferences Of opinion were expressed,
as It is lntlmated the board stood d.
yded on the question of taking the
school away from Clarksburg. Some
desire to keep 1t here, while others
were disposed TO advocate its re-
moval.
Heading the Bridgeport delegation
was Samuel s. FarIs, Postmaster A.
D. Fltzhugho r. B. Davlsson and
others, while, Col. C. F. Teter and
Melville Peck were at the head of
the Phillppi delegation.
At the afternoon session PROPOSE
tlons for removal were heard by the
board and ut press time were being
considered.
The Clarksburg sanitarlum Com
pany has an option on a part of the
school property here but has net
yet purchased the same, as was err
roncously announced few days agO.
The removal question depends
largely upon the sale of the property
. here, and there may be no definite
decision at this meeting of the board
of trustees.
A day or so ago 1t was semi-of-
ficially stated that Bishop P. ]. Dom
ahue, Of Wheeling, was negotiating
for the property AS yet the Bishop
has made no public announcement
to that effect or otherwise. though
his secretary at Wheeling says he
has not learned of such intention on
the part of the Bishop.
