DEBT HEARING POSTPONED.
Continued to Hay 4th on Petition Of
West Yirsinia-WaS Opposed
By Virginia.

Richmond, Va, February 15.-When
the hearing of the famous debt case of
Virginia against West Virginia came up
for argument before Special Master
Charles E. Littlefield, of Maine, West
Virginia put in another motion for a
continuance, trick she has so often
resorted to that the thing now grows
monotonous. Nevertheless, the Special
Master scceeded to the request of the
West Virginia attorneys and postponed
the case until Tuesday, May 4.
A distinguished array of counsel ap-
peared in connection with the case.
For the Commonwealth of Virginia
there appeared Attorney General Will
liam A. Anderson; Major Holmes Con-
rad, of Winchester; Randolph Harri-
son, of Lynchburg; and John B. Moon,
of Charlottesville. The defendant State
was represented by Attorney General
w. G. Comfy, of Charleston; John G..
Carlisle and John C. Spooner, of New
York, and by other attorneys of promi-
nence.

What wireless Can Do.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press.
Since Jack Binns, the wireless teleg-
rapher of the steamship Republic, made
such record for himself in personal
daring, the new method of sending
messages has many advocates among
local shipping people, who seem to have
great confidence in it's utility. One of
the firmest believers in it is Walter
Pierce, who has been identified with
shipping in this port for 80 years and
who has made study of matters that
might possibly add to the social comfort
of the seagoing people. During a dull
hour yesterday morning in the mari
time exchange, while a number of old
sailors were discussing the feat of Jack
Binns, Mr.. Pierce told about the story
illustrating the rapidity with which a
message could be transmitted from one
vessel to another.
Recently, said he, the steamship Ma
vornia, which carries wireless system,
was in this port, and while the captain
was on the wharf he was approached
by woman, who asked him: Can
you tell me when my son is coming
homer" The captain looked at the
woman few seconds and said: ''Where
is your boy?" The answer he received
was, HE is on a vessel at or near Cape
Charles" The captain called up the
wireless operator and requested him to
forward the woman's query. The YES
sci, true enough, was located, and in
less than 10 minutes the message came
back, and with it Tell mother l will be
home in a week"

the idol of the Confederate veterans.
If the Journal will investigate. it will
find that one VIM. F. Rhea also played
an active and conspicuous part in that
same political drama. He was among
those who gathered at the Capitol and
helped to pull the wires to elect Martin.
1t was reported that the night the
Democratic caucus defeated Lee and
nominated Martin, that Rhea, while
passing through the lobby of the old
Exchange Hotel, exhuberantly cried
out 1--WE have downed the Old Confed-
crates at last" or words to that effect.
General William Payne, a near relative
of Fitzhugh Lee, was standing in the
lobby, and, smarting under the defeat
of his kinsman and comrade in arms,
resented the remark of Rhea. 1t was
said that General Payne was so severe
in his denunciations that he went to
his room expecting to receive note
from Rhea demanding a ret1action.
Upon the contrary he received an hum
BILE apology from Rhea.

1t Is understood that the new refrig-
Grating service on the Peuinsular and
Oriental Steam Navigation Company's
vessels between China and England will
open up big trade in pork between the
two countries.
ustria-Hungary has the advantage
Of more abundant forests than most
countries, its forest area being 31S per
cent, as against 25 per cent. in Ger
many, Fl per cent in Norway, 16 per
cent. in France and IA per cent. in
Italy.
The aid given the-shipbuilding indus
try by the Dominion government enact
ing regulations imposing duty of 25
per cent. on repairs made on Canadian
vessels in foreign countries is largely
responsible for the vast improvements
under way at the shipy1rds.
The Dominican Lumber Company is
putting on the local market turpentine,
which is said TO compare favorably with
the imported article. The company is

grade turpentine sells for 81 per gallon.
News has been received in Rangoon
of the striking of oil at a depth of
1850 feet in the Yenangyaung oil field,
which is now giving the enormous flow
of 10000 gallons daily. The deepest
borings hitherto put down in this prov
ince have been to about 200 feet,
where the principal oil-bearing strata
have been tapped.
Turkey is to contract for a new navy
to consist of ironclads, IL torpedo de-
stroyers, II torpedo boats, submarine
boats, mine ships, 2 training ships, "a

Creusot and st the Ansaldo shipyards.
A Chilean company named Ell Melon,
with capital of 100000 ($4s6, 65O) ,
has established an extensive plant at
Calera, few miles from VALPARAISO.
where there are large deposits of ma
terial from which first-class cement can
be produced very cheaply. The capac-
ity of the plant is 200, 900 barrels per
annum, which will about supply the
normal demands of Chile.

Further demonstrations with Mr..
Hiram P. Maxim's new "silencer" for
all kinds of rifles-the inventor saws
that it may be applied effectively to
ordnance of the largest calibre-seem to
prove that it is most deadly addition to
the weapons which mans destructive
ingenuity has contrived.
The soldier of the future-the soldier
of the present, for that matter-will
have to have almost no nerves at all, it
appears. Whether or not the conditions
of modern life will breed that kind of
soldier, he must endure to be shot at
and killed by an enemy whom he not
only cannot see, but one whom he car
not hear. Mr.. Maxim says thai his in
vention will make warfare absolutely
noiseless," and for all practical pur-
poses it bids fair to do so. Except for
the faint vapor of exploding smokeless
powder and except for the song of bull
let and shell in the air or the thud or
crash of the impact, the forces of de-
struction may be let loose on modern
battlefields without sight or sound. To
the extent, then, that the Maxim Isl
lencer" adds new terrors to warfare, its
inventor may be hailed as a benefactor
of the race, according to the notion that
every achievement Of this sort is an OBJ
stacle in the way of war at all.
But not only does Mr.. Maxim's inven-
ton promise to make war more deadly
by increasing the destructive efficiency
of armies-there is in it hint of a men
ace to peace. The suggestion that it
may make murder safer is an obvious
one, and one which is not altogether
posed of by the inventors statements
on the subject. So far as the known
facts go, it would seem possible that
the use of the Maxim silencer might
have to be most rigidly regulated by
government

TWO OF THEM.

The Richmond Journal is showing no
mercy to Judge Mann. In its issue Of
the 10th inst. it has lengthy criticism
of his record and his recent attempted
explanation of that record. Not only
does the Journal deal scathingly with
the Judges political record but also
with his record as Confederate soldier.
Among other things the Journal refers
to the fact that when General Fitz Lee
was a candidate for United States Sen
ator that Judge Mann was one of the
most active supporters of Senator Mar
tin and contributed largely to the defeat

A sanity chap or one whose life was
darby stepped in sin
His friends forget the bitter words they
spoke but yesterday,
And now they find multitude of pretty
things to say.
l fancy when 1 go to rest someone will
bring to light
Some kindly word or goodly act long
buried out of sight;
But, if it's all the same TO you, lust
give to me instead
The bouquets while I'm living and the
knocking when I'm dead.
Don't save your kisses to imprint upon
my marble brow,
While countless maledictions are hurled
upon me now;
Say just one kindly word to me while 1
mourn here alone,
And don't save all your eulogy to carve

hat do care if when I'm dead the
Bloomirgdale Gazette
Gives me write-up with cut in mourn
ing borders set?
II will not fiatter me bit, no matter
what is said,
So kindly throw your bouquets now and
knock me when I'm dead.
1t may be fine, when one is dead, to
have the folks talk so,
To'have the flowers come in loads from
relatives, you know;
II may be nice to have these things for
those you leave behind,
Edt just as far as I'm concerned,
really do not mind.
L m quite alive and well today, and
while l linger here,
Lend me helping hand at times-give
me word Of cheer,
Just change the game little bit; Just
kindly swap the decks,
For l will be no judge of flowers wher
I've csshed in my checks.

Conscience Fund.
Washington Herald.

There is in the Treasury Department
an account designated as the Con
science Fund" which was opened by
the Register of the Treasury in 1911.
and is made up of moneys received by
the United States government from IN
known persons. Remittances come
every few days, and sometimes two or
three are received in one week. The
letters transmitting this money are
rarely signed, unless, as is sometimes
the case, they are sent by priests or
clergymen at the request of penitents.
1t is impossible, of course, when CON-
munications are anonymous, to receipt
for this conscience" money, but ac-
acknowledgement of it is invariably made
through the local press. The largest
amount received at any one time was
$1,000 in treasury bills. which were
made into p package and then cut in
two, the money thus divided being sent
in different mails. The smallest amount
was 2 cents, in the form of postage
stamp.

One Of BrYan's Notions.
Indianapolis Star.

Indianapolis Star.
In recent issue of the Commoner
Mr.. William Jennings Bryan advanced a
curious argument against proposed in
crease of judges salaries. He says the
amount a judge receives largely decides
where he will spend his vacations. If he
gets $1,000 a year he will seek some
quiet and inexpensive spot, where he
will be thrown into the company of
those who struggle for existence; if he
is paid $40, 900 he will select a new sum-
nler resort where he will come into as
sociation with those who spend consider
able money on themselves. On SIS, 900
he will enter still a new class, and as
his opinions must inevitably be affected
by those of the persons he most fire.
quently meets, his legal decisions will be
influenced accordingly.
Mr.. Bryan does not seem to under
stand that it is the business of Judge
to base his decisions on law and equity
as he can best interpret them and that
If he is the sort of person who can be in
fiuenced in these matters by outside en-
vironment he is not more sure to be
right when he associates with one class
than another-with those who "strug-
gle, p" for example, than with those who
have comfortable bank account. II
the idea of the editor of the CommoneS
were followed to its logical outcome the
ideal judge would be a man who would
shut himself off from all contact with
his fellow beings and live the life of G
hermit.

Dodllng.
Richmond News Leader.

When an honest man of clean con-
science is accused of crime or any
shameful act his first impulse is to de-
mand, seek and urge a hearing to be
given as soon, as fully and as publicly as
possible. The New York World and the
Indianapolis News are accused OF print
ing a gross, scandalous, malicious libel
against Theodore Roosevelt, C. Z. Taft,
William Nelson Cromwell and others.
The responsible men of these two news
papers have been indicted. If The News
Leader was accused of an ofTense of
that kind it would seek the first possible
opportunity to have the case fully heard
IN the nearest court We are told, how
ever, that the two newspapers will take
advantage of every technicality to avoid
trial and to dodge the issue. They have
not apologized or retracted, have not
given the sources of the supposed infor-
nation on which they based their
charges that certain eminent citizens of
this country had been guilty of conspi-
racy, theft and fraud. Apparently they
are lying to delay hearing to the last
moment the laws will permit.
This is not the policy or the course of
honest and straightforward people.
Postponement and technicaity are the
refuges of the criminal who knows him
self to be guilty aud who realizes that
the case against him is strong. They
are not the methods of honest people.
The decent newspaper men of the coun-
try should respect their own profession
and realize its responsibilities, should
unite in denunciation and reputation OF
the course of the New York and Indian
apolis newspapers in this matter. The
question involved is not one of the liber-
ty of the press; it is one of the decency
of the press.

human affairs at this time. They are. of
course. entirely sincere in their belief
that their methods are justified and that
their sufferngs are destined ultimately
to bring success. But from this point
of view the propaganda appears to be
pitched in hysterical key out of
harmony with the modern methods of
procedure in politics. The refusal of
women who have been arrested for the
violation of laws and ordinances to par
take of food is no less than fanatical.
Whether or not the government has been
justified i'm forcibly feeding such prisoners
Is beside the mark of the initial question
of these performances. Undeniably the
course of the government in this respect
has aroused some sympathy for the wom-
en- who have suffered. but il does not
necessarily follow that converts have been
made to the suffragist cause or that
the argument for the extension OF the
franchise to women has been strength
ened in the least degree
I'm England is that the government has
driven them to the lengths to which
they have gone. 1t may also be said that
these militant propagandists have driven
the government to its courses. The chief
result of the whole series of undignified,
unwomanly performances has been to be-
cloud the issue and to render a decision
on the question of equal rights more diff
cult than before.

their decision of four years ago not to

They were under no such necessity as to
drive them to the adoption of an amend

the voters of the state declined to be
hoodwinked by the claims of partisan
leaders that the Acknowledgement of a
large section Of the voters was necessary
for the welfare of the commonwealth
Fortunately the proposal was then reject.

The state stood firmly opposed to any

Philadelphia Unredeemed.

one or the most unfortunate results of
yesterdays municipal voting was the sue.
cess of the republican organization in
Philadelphia by a majority Of about AZ. 600.
The fight concentrated on the district at.
torneyship. with Gibboney, the leader of
the reform element and the nominee of
the independent organizations, in oppo-
sition to Rotan. the republican incumbent.
Gibboney's campaign was aggressive. He
stands for the reformation of Philadel-
phia. He has been instrumental in ex-
posing conditions as appalling as any
that have ever been brought to light In
New York. But the republican machine
Is strongly entrenched. 1t has a powerful
system of espionage, while its processes
Of vote getting are well-nigh infallible.
The overwhelming republican majority in
the state Of Pennsylvania Is one of its
largest assets Of political prestige In
consequence Of this condition Philadel-
phia suffers from municipal graft and
immoralities OF every description no less
shameful than those which have resulted
from Tammany's control of New York
city. Had Gibboney been elected distric,
attorney a housekeeping might have re-
suited. but with the republican organiza-
tion again triumphant il Is to be doubted
whether the city Of brotherly love- will
be soon rescued from its deplorable plight
