Va, extended a pastoral call to Rev.
Charles r. Stribling, pastor of the

dissolve Mr.. Stribling's pastoral rela-
lions with the Wawnesboro church.
Last Monday a second call from Tabb
Street church was presented to Mr..
Stribling. which he took under consid-
Grafton. A letter from Mr.. Stribling
was read to the congregation yester-
day. He declines to accept the call.
Mr.. Stribling says that he believes the
action of the Lexington ~Presbytery
right, and that he could not conscien-
tiously leave the Waynesboro church.

county and well known here. He is a
brother of Mrs. NJ. A. Snodgrass and

STURG|SS MAKES
EMPHATIC DENIAL
Authorized to Say That the President
Is Taking No Part in Senatorial
Contest.

Washington, April 5.-The Balti-
more American. of April /, in a Wash
ington dispatch under heading THE
Fight in West Virginia" states that
the President had as luncheon guests
Representatives Hubbard ana Stur.
giss and former Governor Dawson Of
West Virginia, and then alleges. BE
cause Mr.. Hubbard is a very active
candidate for the United States Sena-
torship to succeed Senator Scott, and
because Messrs. Sturgiss and Dawson
are among his most active supporters
and because, finally, it is well known
that President Taft would be glad to
see Senator Scott reelected, it was
generally surmised that President
Taft would discuss the Senatorial sit
uation with his guests"
Representative Sturgiss states that
"the Senatorial situation was not
mentioned, not much less discussed,
on that occasion He further states
that on more than one occasion prior
to that time, the President declared
he was aking no part in the Senator
ial contest and had expressed no pref
erence. He repudiated the statement
by newspaper correspondents that he
desired the reelection of Senator
Scott over Mr.. Hubbard and author
lied Representative Sturgiss to so
state.
The Americans dispatch correctly
etn a, t1n Dr1cidont'e naeffiap ~ hon II
says: president Tai will in West
Virginia, as in every other state. rigid
ly adhere to his rule never to take
part in matters that concern the state
only"
The Americans dispach makes the
false statement, doubtless uninten-
tionally, that Representative Sturgiss
is bitterly opposed to the regular or
ganization man; has always recog-
nized the party organization in his rec
concentrations for post-ofice and 9TH
err federal appointments, and none Of
them have been made over the pro-
test of the regular party representa-
tives when they have united in rec
%ommending suitable candidates, but
has consulted the county and other
committees in recommending census
and post-ofice appointments, and in
no instance have recommendations or
appointments been made with a pur-
pose to influence the chance CT any
candidate for the United States Sena-
torship.
1t is not true that "the organiza-
ton in Berkeley county has expressed
a desire to have Mr.. Chas. NJ. Lamar
appointed postmaster at Martinsburg
nor have either of the Senators rec
commended his name, nor is 1t at all
likely that they are so bitter against
Mr.. Henshaw that they will oppose
his confirmation.
The concluding sentences of the
Americans dispatch is a most unfair
i%nsinuation. at is believed that the
President by declining to nominate
Mr.. Sturgiss' man, will thus indicate
his sympathy with the friends OF SEN
ator Scott" BY the same sort of rea-
soning, Mr.. Henshaw's appointment
would "indica'e his sympathy with
the friends of Hubbard" Either con-
clusion would do the President injus-
tice, for Henshaw's appointment has
no sort of connection with the cleo
.tion of a United States Senator.

RECEIVE INCREASE
The Railroad Company and Com
mittee Come to Terms.
ALL CLASSES TO BENEFIT


Cent to 10 Per cent-Next Deal
Will Be with the Firemen, Who
VIII Be Given a Hearing in the
Next Ten Days.
Baltimore, Md, April 5-A salts
factory settlement was reached yes
terday between the committee Of loco,
motive engineers and the operating
officers OF the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company. The adjustment
includes the wage question as well a.
questions of rules and time.
The conference adjourned with per
feet good feeling on both sides. The
officials were assured they need have
no fear of difficulty when the terms
of the settlement were promulgated
to the members Of the union which
the committee in conference here rep
resented.
The settlement, it was announced,
was on the basis generally Of apply
ing the percentage of increases grant
ed to the conductors as a result of
mediation a few weeks ago,
Under the new rates of pay gassen-
ger engineers are to receive increases
amounting to 2 1-2 per cent; through
freight and helper engineers 476 per
CEN increase; local engineers, 4.76
per cent increase; work train en-
%gineers, 10 per cent.
No nbanna uac moHn in thu nrOy-
isious of the existing agreements for
a t2-hour day in helper service. There
We're some reyisions in the general
rules to make them conform TO condi-
tons now existing.
With the line ~enginemen. both on
the main line and branches, the in
crease was practically based on a
1O0-mile day run. The helper and the
yard enginemen are on an hourly
basis.
These increases are said to mean
between $500, 900 to $500, 900 annual
ly to the company.
One after another the important
railroads of the country have come
forward with offers to increase wages
on a compromise basis, the conces-
sions being about one-half to two
thirds the increases demanded. No
where has there been observed any
manifestation of Ill feeling on either
side, and, it has been apparent that
neither cared to precipitate a crisis.
The railroads, especially those in the
East, have approached the confer
ences apparently only after ~consulta-
ton among the railway presidents.
At least the increases offered have
in nearly all instances been uniformly
about 6 per cent.
The Baltimore and Ohio men have
so far obtained concessions averaging
over 6 per cent. The next deal of the
Baltimore and Ohio officials will be
with the tiremen. No definite date
has been fixed for their hearing, but
It will be within the next 10 days.

Majority Of Senators Oppose Fix
ing Day for Vote.
ELKINS OFFERS
Backed BY Hale, He Urges Speedy Ac-
ton, But Cummins Declares That
Two Weeks Yet Must Be Given to
Dictate-AIdrich Canvasses Demo
Gratis and Finds They Are Not in
Mood For Haste.


Washington, d. c., April 5.-When
Senators Elkins and Hale yesterday
e~ndeavored to obtain an agreement in
the Senate for a time for the vote on
the railroad bill, Mr.. Cu-nmfns, in or
posing the suggestion, declared that.
with the most ~painstaking attention.
it would require two more weeks 10
consider the hundred amendments
now pending.
Mr.. Hale remarked that he did not
suppose there would be anybody TO
protest against next Saturday being
fixed as the proper time. Everybody
wants to get away early, said Mr..
Hale. Mr.. Elkins observed. smllingly,
that senators were agreed that If adj
journment were to be had by June 20,
more Roadway must be made than has
been apparent thus far.
Compromise is Offered.
Mr.. Cum-nins offered a compromise
He was willing that the Senate should
agree to consider the bill from ,
o'clock until 5 o'clock daily until the
Senate was ready to vote. He wanted
to facilitate final action, and thought
this would do it. Mr.. Bacon entered
a protest. Such an agreement was
without precedent, he said. Under it,
he contended, if, on any day, 4 sena-
tor should conclude his remarks. and
no one was prepared to go on the
Senate was bound TO proceed with the
voting. To that he would not agree.
During the morning, Mr.. Aldrich
moved among senators on the Demo-
cratic side, attempting to sound the
sentiment there. He found 1t against
any agreement at this time. Mr..
Money, the minority leader, expressed
his willingness to do all he could to
hurry things along, and use his in
fluence to induce Democrats to get
their speeches off their minds. There
was no disposition discovered that
looked to unreasonable delay. Mr..
Money, however, made it plain that
there would be nothing definite prom
ised from those who insist upon
amending the bill, until they were as
sured the administration had the
measure completed.
Mr.. EIkins' Amendments.
Several amendments were submit.
ted yesterday by Mr.. Elkins, as the
result Of a conference on Sunday by
the organization members OF the Sen
ate committee. They provide that
traffic agreements shall be subject to
the approval of the Interstate Com
merce Commission; strike out the
provision permitting the court of COM
merce to pass in advance on any pro-
posed merger agreements, and fur
Their amend the provision authorizing
a railroad to acquire a controlling in
terest in a competing line, under GER
tain conditions, only when the stock
is lawfully" owned. This last amend
ment is intended to prevent consolida-
lions where the stock has been OBJ
aimed in some manner not authorized
under existing law.
Some of these amendments meet
objections that have been raised by
Senator Cummins and others. who
have been fighting for a more drastic
measure than that reported by the
committee.
Senator Crawford, one of the ten
Senate insurgents, advocated several
amendments in a set speech.

Sixty thousand qualified voters OF

prohibition law from the statute
books. They found that statewide
prohibition added to. rather than
