POLITICAL NOTES.

The Third district republican con-
vention met in Richmond yesterday
afternoon. w X. Vawtor, of Henry
county, was nominated by the republi-
cans to oppose Capt John Lamb for
Congress in the coming campaign.
Much interest is being shown over
the meeting Of the state democratic
executive committee in Richmond this
evening. The meeting is called osten-
sibly for the purpose Of aiding the can
didates in the doubtful" districts, but
it is obvious that the Maynard Young
controversy from the Second district
will be the main issue of the session.
A massmecting OF Suffolk democrats
held on a street corner last night in
dorsed the position OF Col. j. f. West,
o. Suffolk, and Dr. f. 5. Hope, Of
Portsmouth, minority members of the
district committee which awarded Will
liam A. Young the certificate of con
gressiOnal nomination. A set Of reso-
buttons, OF which similar commenda-
ton was a part, failed of passage at
Saturdays massmeeting.
After Il stormy meeting, in which
several speeches were made by the two
republican factions from Rockbridge
county in regard to the contested dele
gates. the Tenth district congressional
convention adjourned at Buena Vista,
Yesterday afternoon, without making
a nomination for Congress and no
nomination will be made. President
Taft's policy was Endorsed and also that
OF The last Congress. The work Of
Bias Slemp as state chairman and
Of Mr.. Parsons, as congressman from
the Fifth district, WAS also indorsed.
1t is now practically conceded that
John Paul, the young Harrisonburg
attorney, son OF the late United States
Judge John Paul, OF the Western dis
trct, will be nominated by the republi
cans OF the Seventh congressional dis
trict at Charlottesville tomorrow to OPP
pose the democratic nominee, Congress
man James Hay.
A joint meeting OF democrats from
Boykins, Newsoms, Branchville and
CORTLAND met yesterday at CORTLAND
and adopted resolutions denouncing
the action OF the democratic district
committee, calling upon the demo-
cratic state central committee for an in
vestigation and asking the committee,
in case fraud be shown, to order either
new primary or another convention.

Enrland,s Labor EroubIes.

London, Sept. 1S.-Prospects Of an
early settlement Of the boiler makers
lockout and the Lancashire cotton
strike were wrecked today by the re-
fusal OF the cotton workers to treat
with the operators, and the promise OF
financial support for the boiler makers
from unions throughout England.
These developments have not only en-
ragged the cotton manufacturers and the
Shipbuilding Employers Federation,
but they have convin ed employers
declarations generally that the slightest
weakness on their part will precipitate
a general strike.
A big mass meeting Of unionists will
be held next Sunday, and employers
fear that this will bring a crisis.

Believes Scandal VIII be Unearthed.

New York, Sept. 13.-Facing the
ytimatum of the district attorney to
produce their books or go to jail, F"
members of the brokerage firm OF j. S.
Bache & Company today agreed to aid
the legislative committee that is in
yestigating the New York legislature
graft. When the committee resumes
its sessions tomorrow, the books will
be turned over. One Of the biggest
scandals in the history OF the state may
be uncovered.
Certain lobbyists are believed to
have carried on the hooks Of Bache &
Company speculative accounts for
leading members OF the legislature
For these accounts stock in companies
whose shares were factors in the
market we're carried. When the legis-
lature won he pocketed the proceeds
and when he lost the Legislative
agents" footed the bills.

NARROW ESCAPE.

There were several narrow escapes
yesterday from a which Quilted the
first four floors OF the fve-story manu-
featuring plant in Newark, n. j. The
fire is said to have been caused by
spontaneous combustion. Twenty
men OH the fourth and fifth floors
found their escape shut off by the
dense smoke that poured up through
the building. One Of them who
jumped into life net, was injured by
rebound to the sidewalk and the
others refused to risk the Jump. Close
to the building, however, was ma
chine used by an artesian we'll digger.
Nine of the men managed to reach a
rope of the machine and down this
they slid to the ground, one after an
other, practically unhurt. The others
we're rescued by means Of extension
ladders. The loss is estimated at about
800. 900.

still After ChanIer's Fortune.

Paris, Sept. 13.-Mme. Lima Cava-
lieri has not cinched her hold on the
fortune of Robert w. Chanlcr, the New
York millionaire. She admitted as
much to a representative OF the United
Press. who called on her today at her
apartments in the Rue Messine. All
these statements OF the absurdly large
amounts of money | have received
from my husband are mere fiction,
said the beautiful diva. 1T is true that
marriage settlement was arranged
and signed before the American con-
sui. but such procedure is the very
commonest over here and is never
looked upon in the light in which it is
vie, ed by America. Robert realized
this and made no objection to the
compact. 1t is true that some OF the
details of the agreement have never
been settled and my attorneys are at
tending to those.
Cavalier tacitly admitted that there
had been some slight hitch between
herself and her husband over these
matters, but insisted that it was a
triviality, and had not in way marred
their married bliss. Nine. Cavalier
showed the reporter another loving
cable from her husband today.
Friends OF Chanler here, while they
will not be quoted intimate that in the
hitch over the marriage settlement lies
the secret OF the husbands return to
America. They point out that since
his marriage Chanler has learned that
his wife is quite as good a business
woman as a singer, and realizes that
he made a mistake by putting himself
and his fortune entirely i'll her hands.
Asked if shel intended returning tc
New York at once to contest any action
which might be taken by the members
of her husbands family against her,
Cayalieri said:
81 have a contract TO sing in Boston
in January and have planned to leave
Paris some time in November. 1t is
possible however. that should it become
necessary, will leave at any early
date.

ALEXANDRIA,, VA.
TUESDAY EVENING, SEPT. 10

UNLESS Richard A. Ballinger steps
down and out OF his own accord or
President Taft, following discussion
OF the case at the coming Cabinet re-
union in Washington, takes action, the
worst is yet to come" for the admin
istration in its efforts to throw Off the
incubus of Balinger. The latter IS not
expected to resign voluntarily, nor IS
there any strong belief that the prcsi-
dent. in the absence Of unanimous
report from the investigating commit
tee against his secretary Of the interior,
will ask for his resignation. As long
as Ballinger is head Of the executive
department which has charge OF the
nations lands, mines and other natu-
raj resources Mr.. Taft will have trouble
TO face, for those who are opposed to
his retention and who believe that the
Glayis-Pinchot charges have been sus-
tanned mean to keep up the fight until
they force the appointment OF another
secretary Of the interior. -Four demo
cratic members and one republican IN
surgent member Of the Joint congress
sional investigating committee have
signed report declaring their BELIEF
that Secretary Ballmgcr should be re-
moved. Enough republican regulars
bolted the meeting to be able to pre-
sent party claim that no quorum was
present. The democrats aud the M
surgent member, considering that they
have performed their duty in attending
the meeting of the committee on the
date set by Chairman Nelson, have Ill
timated that they do not consider 1t
necessary to attend any further meet
ings. The republicans are in aquan-
dairy. A majority of the members, all
republicans, are anxious to vote IN
favor Of a report whitewashing Balm
ger, but they hesitate about taking
such action at this juncture, fearing 1t
will receive the Indignation Of the coun-
try. They would prefer to bring out
their report of exoneration after the
congressional elections are over Seeing
no other way to secure his removal GER
tain members of Congress are consider
ing plans for the impeachment OF Bal
linger if he is not out OF the way by
the time the committee reports are
submitted to Congress. 7Balllnger is
one Of the heaviest loads the present
executive is carrying.

should Join the Circus.

Orange, N. j., Sept. 13.-In an
effort to capture canary which had
flown from its cage on the rear porch
OF the third story of an apartment
house, girl employed by Jacob Hodes
fell to the ground Yesterday afternoon
In her fall the girl turned three somer-
saults and landed upon her feet. She
was jolted, but not hurt. She had
caught the bird, however. 1t was
perched on the rope Of the pulley line,
and in an effort to save herself, the
girl grasped the line. When she was
picked up it was found that she acct
dentaIly had caught the bird in the
sleeve OF her dress.

4 BLIND partizan republican pape


A BLIND partizan republican paper
published in Baltimore today says:
According to the returns Name has
been carried by the democrats. That
is. Maine has been locally lost. There
is nothing in the election Of the demo
cratic nominee TO use as sign OF the
way the November elections the coun-
try over will go. The old fetch OF
Vermont and Maine being weather
yanes means nothing at all, as it has
been so many times exploded.
Why such talk is reflection upon
the intelligence Of the papers, readers.
Every sensible man knows that the
election in Maine yesterday means a
complete rout Of the republicans OF
that state, that the effect will be wide
spread and show also whittier We are
drifting.

Roosevelt today when he reached the

Oyster Bay in his automobile he was

he reached the Outlook office he was

Lightning Melts big He'll.

Altoona, Pa, Sept. 13.-During one
Of the most terrific electrical storms in
years the Reformed Church at Milers-
town, near Martinsburg, was struck by
lightning Sunday and totally destroyed
by fire. The bolt hit the tower and so
intense was the heat that the big bell,
one Of the loudest and finest toned in
Morrison's Cove, was melted. A dozen
cows in various sections OF the valley
were killed Lightning also struck the
mansion OF the late Supreme Court
Justice John Dean, at Hollidaysburg,
and set fire to it, but the heavy rain ex-
the resultant blaze with little
loss

The Arrest of Meat ckers.

Chicago, Sept 13.-FederaI Judge
Kenesaw NJ. Lands today issued nit
timuses for the arrest Of ten OF the
leading packers OF the country. As a
result OF this action, the heads Of the
companies, which organized under the
name OF the National Packing Com
pany, and are alleged to have controlled
the price OF meat, were brought face
to face with possible Jail sentence.
Indictments were returned against them
late yesterday by the federal grand
jury.
1t is not expected that it will be nee
cessary to serve the warrants, as the
packers will appear in court with their
attorneys and bondsmen. Bail will
probably by fixed at $40, 900 each.
