PARTISAN PAPERS
ARE Up IN ARMS
Shooting of Dreyfus Drives Edi-
tors to Fury
DISCUSSION OF THE CASE
Many Writers Want the Matter Drop
ped, While Others Stir Up Strife.
Dreyfus Is Recovering
From Wound.
DISCUSSION OF THE CASE

Paris, June 5.-Whether yesterdays at
tempt upon the life of Maj. Alfred Drey-
Gus was only the individual act of a
man, believing himself to have been an
outraged patriot, or had behind it an in
cipient nationalist plot, the republican
press is unanimous in deploring the in
cident and believes it n5ured rather than
aided the cause. Even those papers which
doubted the wisdom of burying Emile
lola in the Pantheon think that the shoot
ing of Major Dreyfus consolidated the
republican sentiment an they evidently
desire to see the incident die out as
quickly as possible Any attempt to re-
open the old Dreyfus issue at the trial
OF Gregori. the man who shot the major
yesterday, they point out would be plain
" extraneous.
On the other hand the fury of the ma
tionalist papers is unbounded. L'Action
Franchise fires a broadside, which re-
calls the most exciting days of Dreyfes
and Boulanger. At the head of its col
lImns this newspaper prints statement
by Charles Maurras, which it is likely
the authorities will investigate. In this
day night "a resolute patriot visited
N. Daudet and Lieutenant Boisfieury and
himself offered to kill Dreyfus, but his
proposal was rejected A leading edito-
rial in this paper appeals to the country
to turn to the Duke of Orleans for re-
dress and concludes with these words,
do you desire that Zolas body be eject
ed from the pantheon. You desire to
march Dreyfus to the execution block,
If so invoke your king"
The paper also republishes a number
of London reviews of the Dreyfus case,
insisting that he is a traitor. The de-
cision of the court cessation to cut off
the time for an appeal the paper says,
is Illegal, and it concludes its article as
follows:
What we ask for Dreyfus is not six
balls from a revolver, but the Y bullets
of the execution squad"
Other newspapers declare that Gregori,
who was much grieved at the recent
death of his mother has lately manifest
ed signs of mental arrangement.
Gregor's sister said today that her
brother lately has displayed symptoms
of melancholia.
The authorities are pursuing their in
vestgaton with the view of determining
whether or not there is a plot behind
the attempted assassination yesterday,
and today the police made a thorough
search of Gregoris rooms for possible
discriminating documents. Nothing of i'm
portance was found The bullet in Major
Dreyfus' arm has not been definitely To-
Gated The doctors bulletin issued to-
day says the condition of the patient is
satisfactory.

tive correspondence in this connection 8

the hunting party-number of guides and
retainers, animals ETC., has not been de-
termined on. The President, however,

Letter Settles Contest.
The purpose of introducing this letter
was to show that the Scott-Davidson fac
ton had publicly recognized that the
Thompson faction was the regular or
ganzation. Mr.. Aldrich acknowledged The
authenticity of the letter and it is be-
lieved to have had much to do with
fact that roll call was not required 10

son delegates. Mr.. Fairly made a pow
erful argument for his side, and said he
intended to do all he could to induce or
ganized labor to vote for the nominee of
the convention. He announced that he
was for Taft, and is one of the delegates
at large instructed to vote for him. Mr..
Alexander spoke for the negroes on the
delegation, and asserted that it was the
Thompson faction which overturned the
lily white movement in the state.
All except members of the national
committee were excluded from the room
at Ais p. m, and a few minutes later ii
was known that the Talt delegates had
been seated.

W|NDSTORM SWEEPSCITY
Plays Havoc With Sign Boards
and Trees.
KEEPS MANY PEOPLE HOME
Carries Of Roof of Stewart Vehicle
company's New BuiIding-other
Damage.

One Of the most violent wind storms
that has visited Martinsourg in recent
years came sweeping i, from the
| northwest Monday night.
The storm set in about six O'Clock
in the evening, following a rain storm
in the afternoon, and continued with
unabated fury all night. Signs creak
ed, shutters banged, windows ratified
that 1t seemed as If all the furies OF
/ the elements had been turned loose
at once
Strange to relate. however, the
storm was not nearly so destructive
to property as might have been sup
posed, although in some sections,
notably about Hagerstown, 1t played
smash with things.
The telephone and telegraph peo-
pie here were very little affected and
their systems were not put out of SER
vice for a minute. Practically the
same may be said Of the electric
light plant
The worst damage reported in this
city was sustained by the Stewart
Vehicle Co. The whole west roof OF
their new brick building was blown
off, entailing a heavy loss. The build
ing was nearly ready for occupancy
and this misfortune will cause a de-
hay of several weeks.
The wind played havoc with bill
boards and signs around town, espec-
tally over about Five Points" where
they were scattered heller SHELTER.
Many panes of glass were broken by
the force of the storm Tive large
panes on the west side OF the Reform
ed church parsonage were broken dur
ing the night and three large ones in
the residence of M. A. Snodgrass on
South Raleigh street.
A tree was blown over in front of
the home of Charles Flynn, on North
Church street.
The wind fell this morning. to a
great extent and the day was bright
and beautiful.

What might have been very dis.

Of the room. Suddenly the tree igni
ted from the tapers thereon and in a
moment the whole tree was on fire
The blaze quickly communicating to
thes nearby window curtains and

house for the moment seemed immi.

What added to the gravity Of the
situation was the fact that Mrs Hen
shaw and her little son were alone In
the house at the time. She gave the
alarm to which some neighbors and
others responded. Mr.. Henshaw, him
self. was down street at the time
Fortunately at the critical moment
Prosecuting Attorney A. B. Noll, a
near nelghbor, happened to pass along
Seeing the fire he ran to his home
and got a chemical fire extinguisher
which he handed to Fireman Thomas
Talhelm in Mr. Henshaw's house
He proved to be a good fireman for
the occasion and he soon had the
fiamese subdued without doing much
damage.
Besides the curtains and window
blinds the flames burned some holes
in the carpet and ruined a lot of wall
paper. The estimated loss is s25.
