objection. on the part of some OF the men

il is not democratic to undertake such d

of the state demands that each section
be allowed to vote on the question and
to determine for itself what is best in
the matter. The friends of Judge Mann
are understood as opposing the ate-wide
step. unless the voters of the entire state

Chairman Knapp of I. c. Commission
Scouts Remark of President of
New Haven Road.

The statement that the interstate com
merce commission has 20,nG0 gum shoe
detectives at work on American railroads
IN the attempt to rnear'h 'io'ationS of
the safely appliance act. which was made
by Vice President auckland of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad
Company before the House committee on
interstate and foreign commerce yester-
day. is not taken seriously at the COM
mission.
Chairman Knapp stated today that the
commission has no such employees in fact
and he was inclined TO believe that Mr.
auckland had taken seriously a ocular
remark made TO him by some one at the
commission.
Chief Clerk Connolly said there are just
tWenty-One inspectors the rolls of the
commission who look after safety appli-
ances on railroads. and that suits have
not been brought i'm every case of viola
ton of the safety appliance act, but only
where violations unmistakable and
continued after the attention of the road
has been called to them.
After Serious Violations
The violations for which the roads are
prosecuted. lie said, are not technical
but actual and serious. Fifty thousand
dollars has been collected during the past
fiscal year In the prosecution of such
cases. the fine being 800 to each count
and there is never any prosecution except
where the violation of the law can be
proven by two witnesses.
During the year the government sue
cessfuly prosecuted 139 cases. dismissed
sixteen and lost only four. In some cases
there are many counts, as, for instance,
in a recent prosecution of the Atlantic
Coast line there were fOrty-tive counts.
Luther NJ. Walter. the attorney of the
commission, who has had charge Of these
prosecutions. says that the limited num-
Der of prosecutions seems infinitesimal
when the fact is recalled that the rail-
roads operate about 100000 miles of rail-
way, with more than two million cars
IA. 600 of which are passenger cars. He
does not feel that this indicates the en-
ployment of large number of detectives
or undue activity in the prosecution of
the road.

HIS REELECTION PREDICTED

WHEELING, w. Va.
February G. 1909.
Probably the first announced candidacy
for the state senate i'm 1910 was made this
week in Wheeling when John c. Hoff-
mann admitted that he would contest for
the republican nomination. Mr.. Hoffman,
aspires to represent the first. or Panhan-
die, district the most important one COM
mercially in West Virginia.
The first rlfmor in this connection had il
that Hoffman, was ambitious to go to the
United States Senate. but he Immediately
denied this and explained that 1t was the
state body he aspired to. He wants to
succeed Senator Robert Hazlett, who will
not be a candidate. and the development
is more than ordinarily interesting be-
cause it is the home district of United
States Senator Scott and of Representa-
tive w. F. Hubbard The latter is thought
by many to cherish the idea Of promotion
to a senatorial toga.
Julian G. Hearne. now representing Ohio
county in the house of delegates for a
second term, wants to be state senator
which means battle between Hoffman,
and Hearne. and there may be larger
field, although there is nothing at this
time to indicate more aSpirants. Hearne
is a brother of William II. Hearne, who
was candidate for the SubernatOrial
nomination last summer.
Hoffman, has been quite factor in the
political movements of late years. He is
chairman of the senatorial committee of
his district. which embraces Hancock.
Brooke and Ohio counties. and he was
delegate to the republican national con
vention at Chicago last year, incidentally
doing effective work in preventing

had been a supporter of Teter when he
ran for the gubernatorial nomination
against Gov. Dawson, but was for Scott

Oysters Very Plentiful.

Commissioner Mcdonald Lee of the Vir-
GINA fisheries commission in an interview
published here declares that there never
were so many oysters to be had in Nir-
g1nla as at this time. He says that early in
the season the large and wealthy planters
with view to depressing the business
and getting control of the interests in the
state. gave currency to the report that
oysters We're scarce. This. he says, was
done to effect the trade and to compel
dealers in the north and west to go else
where, leaving no market for the Vir-
Sinia product. In this way the Virginia
dredgers and planters have sustained
loss of many millions of dollars by rea-
son of theTfact that they have been UNI
able to dispose of their catch. Then he
adds that the Virginia oystermen have
the idea of catching few as to keep
the prices up, and for that reason in the
past they have charged average of 30
cents bushel. whereas Maryland and
other states have been selling for less
Commissioner Lee says that conditions
have changed and that in order To regain
the lost trade the Virginia dredsers will
have to meet the prices OF other states
Mr.. Lee adds that there arc more and
better oysters in Virginia waters at this
time than at any time i'm half century
He expresses the belief that conditions
will be vastly different another season
