Delaware county of Mrs. Erb and her
sister, Mrs Beisel, tor the shooting of
Capt. j. Clayton Erb, husband of the

the case one of more than local interest,

verdict was about ri bit.

THE vacancy on the supreme court
bench in this state soon to be created by
the expiration Of Justice Mitchell's term
is sttI acting considerable attention in the
northwestern section of the Common

aud their friends are energetically push
ing their claims. They are, Judges
Criswell of Yenango, Bouton OF Mexican,

them is strongly backed. We of the
northwest would be delighted to see one
or the other succeed, but its going to be
out of the question for sll of them to get

BY vote of2l2 to 35 Congress on FRI
day administered what we read in the
headlines of the daily press is entended
as "stinging rebuke" to the President.
The "rebuke' consisted in the refusal of
the House to receive that portion of the
Presidents message referring to the work
of the secret service men, and which inti-
mated that the honorable Congressman
didn't want to be watched" The dig
nifty of Congress was offended, as it were,
and that's too bad. Nobody believes that
all the Representatives are bad, neither
does any body balieve they are all good
and don't need watching. If a Congress-
man is straight and loyal 10 his constit-
uents watching neither hurts nor annoys
him, hence it wouldn't seem necessary to
offer this socalled "rebuke" to the Presi-
dent. Mr.. Roosevelt still has the conf
dence of the American people far above
the power of Congress to destroy, and il
is quite likely that many of those who
voted to rebuka him because he has a
habit of calling things by their right name
will find difficulty in bringing their con.
stituents into accord with the Congress.

WHEN Mathues, the former State

nervous breakdown was result of his
con viction and sentence as one of the
State Capitol grafters. And now comes
word that Sanderson, the Capitol trim

ing sentence, is critically i'll, and is likely
to follow his colleague to the grave. 1t is
strange how illness has pursued nearly
every man held responsible for this pub
lie wrong. Another of them, James NJ.
Shumaker, is very sick man, and may
not recover. James G. Jetfries, the
warrant clerk, who knew more about the
payments for the trimminLs than anyone
else, died suddenly, more from worry, it
is believed, than from disease. Payne,
contractor for the building, and indicted
on one charge, died after a lingering i'll.

AMERICAN COMMISSION IN
LIBERIA PREPARES REPORT
Alleged England Has Occupied 300
Square Miles of Territory Owned
by Black Repuhlic-Brltaln
Promises Restitution

NEW YORK, July S.-The American
commission which has investigated the
affairs of the black republic, Liberia,
has prepared a report that Great
Britain has encroached on and oc-
cupied 300 square miles of Liberian ter
ritory, according to a cablegram from
Free Town. Sierra Leone.
Assurances were given the commls-
sion by British authorities, however,
that the English occupation of the dis
puted territory would cease on the
proper diplomatic representation by
this country
Investigation conducted by the com
mission at Monrovia, the capital of
Liberia, and at Free Town, the dis
patch says, showed that the English
forces occupying and administering
Sierra Leone had overstepped the bor-
der which was surveyed in 1903
and had encroached on Liberian
ground for a distance of twenty-five
miles from the established border line.
The Liberians submitted to the COM
mission proof that the British forces
had. by various means, induced the
Liberian border officers to retire in
land, and had then placed the original
Iiberian territory under the Sierra
Leone government.
British officials appeared before the
commission and did not dispute these
assertions, but gave assurances the
English were ready to retire as soon
as the Washington government passed
on the matter and brought the case
to the attention of the colonial office
in London.
