AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES
THE MEN IN THE HEAT OF Ar.
GUMENT TELL OTHERS THEY
ARE SPEAKING IN UNTRUTHS.
PARRY'S EXPLANATION.
Have Not Been Opened Is That
Figures Shown Thereon Would Be
Distorted by Opposition.

At the conclusion of the council
meeting last evening after +. Z. With
erby, general manager of the corpor-
alton controlling the Richmond Light,
Heat & Power company, had attempt
ed to offer arguments why the city
plant should be sold to its competitor
and his statements had been heard
restlessly, and with frequent Interrupt
tions by an extremely hostile audi
ence, b. B. Johnson Of the board of
public works exploded bomb by
heatedly charging that Richard S.
Storrs Of New York, president Of the
Richmond Light, Heat Il Power CO..
had, in conducting the campaign to
secure control of the local municipal
plant, attempted to bribe Matt Won
,Pein. councilman at-large, by Offering
him stock in the Light, Heat & Power
company, place on its directory
sboard and other inducements.
This statement caused the most pro-
found astonishment and excitement,
especially when Mr.. Won Pein substan-
itiated the statement made by Mr.
Johnson and produced letter written
ITO him by Mr.. Storrs January 8, 1907,
IN which tempting inducements We're
made to him.
An explanation for this action was
demanded Of Mr.. Witherby. He stated
that stock had been offe red to Mr.. Won
Pein and that it had been desired to
make him one of the local represen nta-
tives Of the company. These offers,
he said, had been made by Frank
Lane, local manager OF the company
when he first came to Richmond. He
said that at the time Mr.. Lane had
submitted his proposition to Mr.. Won
Pein he did not know that Mr.. Won
Pein was a city official. Mr.. Wither-
by. with a laugh, called upon Mr..
Lane TO make an explanation Of the
affair.
Lane Explains.
Mr.. Lane in an atmos phere which
fairly cracked with hostility, made
his statement. He said that when he
came here the company informed him
that 1t would be wise plan to secure
pany. Mr.. Won Pein was recommend
ed TO him and he asked Mr. Storrs to
write to him. Mr. Lane said that he
called upon MIR. Won Pein and sub
mitted the proposition to him He said
that Mr.. Won Pein declined to consid-
er 1t and the matter was then dropped.
Mr.. Lane Indignantly denied that he
knew Mr.. Won Pein was member OF
the city council and on the franchise
committee. At the conclusion of this
statement a number of questions were
asked Mr.. Lane and he was forced to
retire under a heavy fire.
Don't Want councimen.
Mr.. Witherby laughingly jumped in
to the breach at this iuncture and
secuted the charges that his company
had attempted TO brihe Mr.. Won Pein.
He said that Mr.. Won Pein was the
last person his company would ever
sndeavor TO bribe. He said that when
1t was learned that Mr.. Won Pein was
a councilman no further propositions

FAIRBANKS MAY Be
SECOND ON TICKET
Thought That the Indiana Man
Will Be Honored Again
This Year.
ROOSEVELT Is DISPLEASEl.
DOES NOT LIKE THE SELECTION
OF BURROWS AS TEMPORARY
CHAIRMAN AS HE WANTED SEN.
AToR BEVERlDGE OF INDIANA.

Washington, May ia moveme Mt
of large proportions, having for it's OBJ
ject the nomination of Mr.. Fairbanks
for second place on the national ticket,
is on foot. It must not be inferred
that the presidential candidacy of In
diana's favorite son is off, He has
the Hveliest presidential boom of all
the allies, and the opening of Fair
banks headquarters at Chicago, with
Joseph B. Healing in charge, has add
ed confirmation to an already general
impression that there is more sub
stance to the Fairbanks presidential
boom than to that of any other man
mentioned, aside from Roosevelt and
Taft.
At this time 1t appears to be a safe
prediction that the Chicago conven-
tion next month will nominate Fair
banks either for president or vice-pres-
ident. If by any chance the conven-
tiOn should stampede to Roosevelt, the
cry of The old ticket" will be over
powering. and Mr.. Fairbanks will be
nominated for second place without a
shadow of opposition.
With all the delegates chosen there
is growing impression. however, that
the horses eyes are set" in favor Of
Secretary Taft for the presidential
nomination. If it should turn out
that Taft has the nomination for pres
ident clinChed, Indiana is likely to be
called upon to yield her most prOmi-
nent republican to complete the ticket.
Therefore, the politicians in the big
national puddle are beginning to take
it for granted that Indiana will in any
tional ticket.
Roosevelt Is DispIeased.
President Roosevelt is decidedly
displeased over the selections for the
temporary convention officers-Sena-
tor Burrows for temporary chairman
and John r. Malloy of Ohio for tempo
rary secretary. On all sides these ap-
pOintments are construed as a slap at
the president. There was talk today
that the president may decide TO test
his strength in the national cOnve. ton
by having a motion made to reject
these temporary officers and elect Sen
ator Beveridge temporary chairman in
stead, but this report lacked official
confirmation.
Neither Secretary Taft nor his cam
paign managers have any criticism to
offer Of the selection Of Burrows. 1t
is known to be in no wise prejudicial
to Secretary Taft's candidacy At the
cho
away from President Roosevelt and
has already resulted in a sharp revival
of the Roosevelt third-term talk.

Large Crowd in Chamber.

The report that Mr. Witherby would
address council last evening served to
attract the largest crowd that has as
sembled in the council chamber for
months. From the attitude of those
present it appears that the proposition
to sell the municipal plant now being
agitated by the Light, Heat & Power
company, does not meet with the ap-
proval of the citizens, the city council
or the members of the city administra-
ton.

MI Nf1EAtND >. > IORRS.
President of the Light, Heat & Power
company.
At the conclusion of the reading Of
this letter, B. B. Johnson took the
floor and stated that he thought if
Mr.. Storrs was a resident of this state
it would be the duty of the prosecut-
ing attorney to bring an Indictment
against him, charging him with brib-
cry. This remark was greeted with
loud cheers.

An Open Proposition.


Councilman Englebert then asked
Mr.. Witherby if he thought he could
operate his plant after its franchise
had expired. Mr.. Witherby stated
that as this franchise did not expire
for eleven years and eight months, he
was not giving that matter any consid-
Grafton. Mr.. Witherby stated that at
the time the municipal plant was es-
tablished he thought the city was justi-
fled in taking this action as the old
Light, Heat X Power company had
been treating the consumers in a
shameful manner. He said that the
Light Heat & Power company was
now being conducted on an honest. up-
right basis and that its proposition to
purchase the municipal plant was open
and above board. He stated that in
short time Indiana would have a

THE FIRST PONY EXPRESS.
How 1t Was Welcomed by the People
Of Sacramento.

Cornelius Cole, ex-senator from
California, tells in his Memoirs" how
the first pony express" reached Sac
ramento, CAL, long before the first
transcontinental railroad was sur
yeyed. Those who were there to wit
ness it will never forget the arrival of
the first of these express messengers
at Sacramento. 1t was an occasion of
great rejoicing and everybody, big and
little, old and young, turned out to see
the fun. All business for the time
was suspended; even the courts ad-
journed for the event. A large num-
Der of the citizens of all classes, grave
and gay, mounted on fast horses, rode
out some miles on the line to meet
the incoming wonder.
"The waiting was not long. The
little rider upon his blooded charger,
under whip and spur, came down upon
them like meteor, but made not the
slightest halt to greet his many Wis
itors. Then began a race of all that
waiting throng, over the stretch back
to the city. the like Of which has never

IF SNOW NEVER FELL.
The Effect Upon the Worlds Crops
Would Be Disastrous.

If all the condensed moisture Of the
atmosphere were to fall as rain and
none of it was snow, hundreds of
thousands of square miles of the
earth's surface now yielding bountiful
crops would be little better than a
desert. The tremendous economic
gain for the world at large which re-
suits from the difference between
snow and rain is seldom realized by
the inhabitants Of fertile and we'll
watered lowlands.
1t is in the extensive regions where
irrigation is prime necessity in ag-
riculture that the special uses Of snow
come. chiefly into view. All through
the winter the snow is falling upon the
mountains and packing itself firmly in
the ravines. Thus in natures great
icehouse a supply of moisture is stored
up for the following summer.
All through the warm months the
hardened snow banks are melting
gradually. In trickling streams they
steadily feed the rivers which as they
dow through the valleys are utilized
