Special Correspondence OF The Star.
WHEELING. W. Va, February II. 1910.
Senator Scott came to Wheeling for the
week in the interest of his campaign to
succeed himself and while here he is
sued statement formally announcing his
candidacy. One Of the reasons for his
return home was TO attend the funeral
of his friend. henry +. Behrens, a re-
tired merchant, who, as a member Of the
Legislature. helped elect Scott the first
time.
In announcing his candidacy the senator
made no reference to the manner or
method of determining the contest with
Representative Hubbard, detail that
did not excite surprise.
In personal interviews. however, Sena-
tor Scott was emphatic in saying he was
willing to go before the voters at a pri-
mary. a statewide primary preferred. He
recalled his position Of years in favor of
this plan, but, he said, for lack of any

knowledged sentiment was otherwise.
The issue will be decided this year in
West Virginia, 1t is declared, exactly as
the several county organizations prefer.
And after the legislature is nominated
and elected no candidate for the honor

he has been chosen United States SEN

day the lawmakers meet In joint ses-
sion for that purpose. Up to that
moment he will have his anxieties.
Greeting the People.
While here Senator Scott journeyed to
Brooke county, and he met large and
representative delegations from Wetzel,
Tyler. Marshall, Ohio and Hancock at
his headquarters here, which are In
charge of State Senator Robert Hazlett
His supporters admit there was a lively
ripple following Hubbard's announce
ment, but they express unbounded cont
dence in the gradual settling down Of
things in their ia or. There is no doubt
Of the great work done in perfecting a
Scott organization recently, and the Hub
bard people do not deny the surprising
strength Scott has displayed since he
learned he had a fight on.
This change in the situation is taken
to explain Hubbard's refusal to say he
will not be a candidate again for his
present seat in the House Of Representa-
tives, although the best judges say he
will finally announce that he will not
again be candidate for that position.
The Wheeling district has three candi-
dates for the state senate-Julian G.
Hearne and John G. Hoffman,, Scott
men. and City Solicitor r. NJ Addleman.

not been able to eliminate either Hearne
or Hoffman,. Some feelers have gone out
in Hearnes behalf as a candidate for
Congress instead, without conclusive re-
suit.

Creditors Attach Apples.

Attachments aggregating over $4,000
were sued out here few days ago by
a number of leading apple growers
against Samuel Haines, prominent New
York dealer. who bought extensively in
the local market last fall, paying high
prices for the fruit, and who found it
impossible to dispose of his holdings at
profit. Most of the apples were in
cold storage here and they were at
tached. A meeting Of the creditors was
held this week, and it was announced
today that satisfactory settlement had
been effected. No suspicion was cast
upon Mr.. Haines motives.

Hold-Overs for Scott.

Scott claims he has now for his friends
and supporters all, or nearly all, OF the
republican hold-over members of the state
senate. Thus he has a good start, while
Hubbard has nothing to go on but what
he can capture in the legislators chosen
this year In other words, Hubbard has
nothing to lose and all to gain in sub
hitting his case to a state primary
whose decision would be final, while
SCOTS victory at a primary would merely
supplement his present list of supporters
in the state
There is no tribunal to initiate and con-
duct a state primary except the state
committee. No appeal to it for pri-
mary has been made by Hubbard In
fact, there is nothing to indicate that
he wants departure from the estab-
lished methods except in paragraph in
his announcement wherein he declares
he Is in favor of submitting his claims
to the people. that he does not believe
the small counties should be smothered
by the big counties in convention. and
that nobody owns the senatorial office.
oracles Are Stirred Up.
The Hubbard paragraph, followed by
the Endorsement of certain implication
that Scott would not want a similar meth
cd, has stirred the Scott oracles to re-
sentiment. SO that. following the senator's
return to West Virginia, they have asked
for further light from Hubbard and for
any old kind of Queensberry rules de-
sired. They have pointed out that prima-
ries have always been held in deciding
party contests where the battle-ground in
the senatorial fight is to be-the northern
Panhandle counties-and that to imply
that the Scott forces do not want a
straight-out fight is to ring changes on a
false note.
Incidentally, the Scott press is pointing
out that the declaration for a primary
from ex-Gov Dawson Is amusing and
Inconsistent, in view of his success in

The Greatest Batting Record in a Game
of Baseball.

1
The baseball expert, Hugh S. Fuller
ton, writes a very interesting article on
Batting" for the July American Maya
zine. He describes as follows the great
est hitting feat recorded, executed by
Ed. Delehanty, and which it was his
good fortune to witness:
:" 'Adonis' Terry was pitching "a great
pitcher with wonderfully fast curve
ball-and three of the home runs ~were
made off the curve. The first time at
bat Delehanty hit the ball high over the
right field fence, perhaps seventy feet
from the foul line, which would be 245
feet from the plate, and the fence was
thirty-ive feet high. The second time
he hit over the same fence, but further
toward center field. The third time he
drove single over short stop, line hit
and perhaps the hardest hit of all.
Dahlen, leaping, touched the ball with
both hands. They were torn apart and
the ball caromed almost to the left field
ers before it struck the ground. The
next home run was straight to center
field between the clubhouses, nearly 400
feet away. The last time he came to
bat the crowd was cheering him on.
LANCE retired between the clubhouses,
which were set at angles. Delehanty hit
curve ball. 1t alighted on the roof Of
one clubhouse, bounded to the roof of the
other and rolled half way back to the
second baseman. And yet Chicago won
the game eight to six.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
FoR s1onAen TaousLE and Cow

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: As
you are doubtless aware, the laws Of
Maine rovide for appointment by the
Governor of agents to enforce the stat
utes against cruelty to animals, whose
jurisdiction extends over the whole State.
This is wise provision, for it enables
the work to be done by men who are not
affected by local circumstances.
One such agent, DIR. J. H. Rollin, ap-
pointed at the request of the Farming
ton Humane Society, devotes his whole
time to this work, and can be called upon
by any person, to go anywhere. His sal
airy is paid by contributions from citizens
and summer residents of Maine. Among
the contributors was the late Hon. S. T..
Pullen, president of the Portland HUI
name Society. On the committee hav-
ing charge of the fund are John Ken
drick Bangs, Mrs. -Deland and Bishop
Doane.
DR.. Rollin has had a long and varied
experience with horses, and is well
known to the trotting horse men of the
State. His instructions are never to
prosecute, unless prosecution is neces-
sary, and in most cases warning is suf-
ficient. Special efforts are made to as
sist poor men in the care of their horses
and cattle by medical treatment. by
gifts of blankets, and in other ways.
Destitute families, with which the agent
is brought in contact, are assisted with
food and clothing; and the committee
hope to benefit man as we'll as beast
through their agent.
Persons in any part of the State who
are aware of any cruelty to animals that
should be investigated are advised to
call, first, upon the local agent, if there
one: and if there is no such agent, or
if the local agent cannot act, or is un-
The Republican journal., 1910-07-07


willing to act, then to apply to DR.. Rol-
lin, whose address is Woodsfords, Maine.
(No notice will be taken of anonymous
letters.
DR.. Rollin acts not in opposition to,
but in connection with the local agents,
and will be glad to assist any local agent
by accompanying him on any visit of in
spection or prosecution, or in any other
possible way.
Inquiries will gladly be answered by
the Secretary, and contributions will be
received by the Treasurer, H. M. Burr,
York Harbor, Maine. All gifts will be
welcome.
Yours very truly,
HENRY C. MERW1N, Sec'y,
