a LETTER TO Mr.. TAFT.

Elsewhere in to.day's West Virgin
ian is published an open letter from
Mr.. J. L. Lewis, OF this city, to Hon.
William H. Taft, in which some very
strong points of general interest are
brought out. Mr.. Lewis calls attention
to the fine impression made upon the
people by Mr.. Tafts great speech in
Boston. There is no doubt that Taft
stock advanced many points when
those manly words were read by the
American people. Further. Mr.. Lewis
advances the very sensible opinion
that business conditions will be more
or less disturbed until the people set
tie upon good, strong man us can
didate for President. We know the
country is afraid of Mr.. Bryan and
yet unless there is assurance that the
Republicans shall unite on good man

Ing statement, which is worthy OF
by people Of all classes at this time:
with a stringency in the money
market and depression in all lines OF
business the railroads are confronted
With the serious problem of holding
down operating expenses to much

with gross receipts. True it is that
The darkest cloud OF the financial dis.
turbance seems to have passed AMI
the brave optimist already sees signs
of silver lining shining through the
iaIl ofpanic, but who can make fore
east that is fully reassuring? Tight
cning Of the money market brought
contraction of business, factories re-
iduced output, merchants cut down
orders; this calls for reduction OF
working forces and shortening of
hours Of labor.
RAILROADS have suffered in common
With all branches of business. The
extreme decline in Industrial lines has
given ltaid blow to the valume Of
traffic moving. Public sentiment to-
ward corporations in general and rail
Sfonds Sin particular has moderated,
but this is only one among other I'M
Iortant questions to be dealt with.

SOCIETY

Between 200 and 300 guests were en-
tertained last evening at the reception
given by Miss Clara l. Colburne and
the faculty of Rowland Hall, In honor
of the six girls of the senior class who
graduate from that institution this
year. The two large buildings, the
home and the school, connected as they
are with the clOister-like passd geway,
were both thrown open, and after the
guests were received in the library they
wandered through the entire lower
floors. The rooms were all adorned
with quantities of flowers. red peonies
and blue fleur de lis forming the main
decorations. In the hall, hidden behind
a screen of palms an orchestra was
stationed, and after rendering a pro
gram all the early evening, they fur
nished dance music later for the young
people who wished to dance. Assisting
Miss Colburne in receiving were all
the members of the faculty, and the six
girls. Miss Ruth Shumate, Miss Merce
Lewis, Miss Lucy Lewis. Miss Theta
Baker. Miss Lucille Clark and Miss
Marjorie Jacobs. The members of the
junior class served refreshments.
Mrs. Alexander c. Ewing was the
hostess yesterday afternoon at a de-
lfghIuHy planned tea at her home on
East Brigham street About sixty of
her friends were invited, and from
till in the afternoon the rooms were
comfortably filled with the guests. The
house was fragrant with the spring
flowers, the entrance hail holding great
bowls of deep red peonies. while
branches of hawthorne decorated the
reception room. In the dining room
white and green only were used. and
here an immense crystal basket of
white stalks and quantities of white
snowballs decorated the table, while
candles with green shades threw light
over it, With the hostess receiving the
guests was Mrs. John Zane of Chicago,

DUMPS FOR Mr.. LlLLEY.

The house Of representa- took
Mr.. Lilley of Connecticut over the
bumps hard Wednesday. The COM
mittee that has been investigating Nh
IAlley's charges relative TO submarine
torpedo boat legislation reported unan-
imously and scathingly against him.
and the house adopted the report by
a decisive vote. The gentleman from
Connecticut is accused Of acting in
bad faith in making his charges. and
that is about the least OF the accusa-
tions against him. He is charged with
acting in contempt of the house, with
putting out charges that he knew We're
false. and with acting from improper
motives.
The Democratic leader, John SHARP
Williams. characterized Mr.. Luley's
actions as treason and Mr.. Lilley as a
traitor. Mr.. Williams had no hesita-
ton in saying that such man was
guilty OF corrupt practices and should
not be allowed to retain his seat in the
house. He believed the committee had
acted very leniently in not recon-
mending the expulsion of Mr.. Lilley,
the reason. for this being that Lilley is
a very sick man. An expulsion rec
onrnendation would. indeed. have
