(Chas. Brooks Smith, in Pittsburg
- Dispatch.)
Parkersburg, w. Va, May 15-'Tne
return of pilgrims from the Senatorial
shrine at Washington, singing paens
Of praise for Senators Elkins and
Scott, with emphasis and length on
the song Of the latter's industry and
achievements in behalf of their con-
stituents, may have caused misgivings
In other Bosoms, but not q misgive
in the bosom of the Honorable Albert
NJ. Schenck Of Wheeling. He sings
haunting song back. He isn't scared
and fooled, not to say frazz1ed, by
the boosters DEMONSTRATING inter
views to the reporters about how hard
Elkins and Scott are working; how
continually, vigilantly, laboriouslN
they are on the job looking after the
sacred sacrament Of high protection
as applied to the raw resources of
West Virginia. He knows that to
believe all that is being said about the
Senators along these lines would COM
pei the belief that they are overworked
to the point of absolute exhaustion,
hence could not be on the job at all,
and ought to be taking the rest cure
at mountain resort
And the Honorable Albert knows an.
other thing, which is that the boost is
worn-out card that has been played
in campaigns since the time of Noah,
and that 1t always and invariably
comes into play the season preceding
that time when there is an office to be
filled. This time it is right hefty

House of Lords held by the Honorable
Nathan Bay Scott.

No, the multhmilIionaire pork pack.
er isn't up in the air and alarmed
over these compliments, and he has
answered them with an open challenge
that he is willing to wager a trifle like
$4,000 that he will beat Scott-the
tang Of gambling being divorced from
the proposition by provision that
the pot shall go to some institution
OF charity whose work is Statewide
In its influence. Do you get 1t? He's
willing for the wager that he will
beat Scott-not that he will succeed
Scott. There is q slight difference
there, to be sure.
The fact is, and it is a fact, that,
however much others may question
Mr.. Schenk's candidacy, that gentle
man Is very much in earnest about it,
and his earnestness is beginning to
permeate places where doubt heretofore
existed. While new in the political
game, the Scheme party is keen buzz
ness man and pretty keen observ-
er, too, and he has learned lot about
politics and it's methods which he now
purposes to turn to MS own use. He
has q rather picturesque, If not, I'm

such as his banquet to the legislators

The sessions of the police trial
board in the case of Robert A. Pei
ham against Officer Jack Watts at
tracted large audiences to the police
court at each Of the three hearings
In the throng were men of the great
est prominence in legal, medical, Jour-
nalistic and business circles in Wash
ington, and the proceedings were
watched with the deepest interest. AT
ter a hard-fought battle between Law
yer w. H. H. Hart, chief counsel for
MIR. Pelham, and Lawyer Cusack, who
made feeble attempt to justify the
actions of his client, the board found
Watts guilty Of conduct unbecoming
an officer and prejuGicial to the good
name Of the Metropolitan Police force
OF the District of Columbia" and as
sessed fine Of $40 against him. Watts
was severely reprimanded for his ig-
norance and brutality in connection
with the matters In vo1ved in the case,
and has been assigned to an outlying
district where he will not be liable to
arrest orderly and respectable colored
men for the purpose or humiliating
them before the public, The inside
history Of the case is familiar to the
country. 1t will be remembered that
on the evening Of April II Mr.. Pei
ham was one Of crowd which wit
messed the cowardly assault made by
Officer Watts upon a colored woman
whom he was endeavoring to place
under arrest. AS an act of humanity,
he interested himself sufficiently In
the womans behalf to take the names
OF few Of the bystanders who had
also witnessed the incident. While
complying with the officers request to
move on Mr.. PeIham's activity was
noticed by the offending policeman,
and he without the color of justiflca-
ton, insisted upon taking Mr.. Pei
ham to the precinct station. The
latter went without any show Of re-
sistance, preferring to carry his pro-
test to a higher and more intelligent
tribunal At the station, in the pres
ence OF score Of more of personal
friends who had come on to render
any assistance that might be needed
charge Of "disorderly assemblagS'
was entered against Mr.. Pelbam's
name and he was released upon de-
posting S. collateral. Had Mr.. Pei
ham needed 5000, the amount would
have been Immediately Forthcoming,
for green backs were flourished from
every pocket in the indignant group.
In the police court, Mr.. Pelham scored
clean-cut victory. Not only was he
triumphantly acquitted of the officers
charge, but he surprised Judge Kim
ball and all the persons present by
bringing forward as his counsel no
less distinguished an individual than
