of stone of the extortioner with sue
cess, the present necessities of our citi-
zens would do so. 1t is needless to at
tempt to disguise from the enemy or
our own people, that our wants are
great; but still we can conscientiously
assert our belief that there is plenty
within our lines, by an exercise OF
prudence, to last until long after succor
reaches US. We are satisfied that there
are numerous persons within our city
who have breadstuffs secreted, and are
doing it out at the most exorbitant
figures tothose who had not the fore
sight or means at their, command to
provide for the exigency now upon us.
A rumor has reached us that parties in
our city have been and are now selling
flour at five dollars per pound-molasses
at ten dollars gallon and corn at ten
dollars bushel. We have not as yet
proved the fact upon the parties accus-
ed, but this allusion to the subject may
induce some of our citizens to ascertain
whether such prices have been paid,
and to whom; and if so; let a brand not
only be placed upon their brow, but let
it be scared into their very brain that
humanity may scorn and shun them as
they would the portals of hell ITSELF,

OYSTER BAY, Aug. is.-Theodore
Roosevelt got back irao the thick of

iieutenants came here to confer with
him, and his home on Sycamore Hill

welt denied himself to all who did not
have appointments and all informa-
ton regarding what was going on in
side the house was withheld.
The automobile men in New York
and the towns ajaeent to Oyster Bay
reaped harvest. In order 10 keep
their identity secret, many of the Roos-
eveit callers either made the trip from
New York by automobile. or dropped
off the train before reaching the bay
and came on 10 Sycamore Hin by We
hicle
In this way they were able to dodge
waiting correspondents and keep from
being questioned as TO the nature OF
their business with Col. Roosevelt
The positions of both Loeb and
Griscom in the split between Taft
and Roosevelt are precarious. Loeb
holds his official job by grace OF the
administration. and Griscom was made
chairman of the New York county
committee by the administration
forces. Little doubt Is felt here. how
ever. that both Will line up with
Roosevelt.

the newly acquired Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway OF Indiana and that
while in Cincinnati they had been
approached on the matter Of bring
Ing the general Offices to that city for
the reason that 1t Is more central.
Nothing official has been given out
and nothing is known at the general
Offices here. The impression prevails
that the same old effort Is being made
and that 1t will be treated In the same
way as all others have been for years
What Mr. Wall Says.
The statement made by Garrett B.
Wall, assistant to President Stevens,
IN Cincinnati Wednesday gives no In
dication that the officials are serious
" considering the proposition. Mr..
Wall said.
An agitation OF the proposition to
move the general Offices of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railway from Rich
mend TO Cincinnati has been started
here. While the proposition has as
yet assumed no definite form 30 far
as having been made by any repre-
sentative organizations OF Cincinnati
people. IL has, nevertheless, been pro-
posed to the management OF the
road"
This can In no way be taken as a
confirmation OF the rumors, as the
official says that no proposition has
a. yet been made.
Reasons for Staying.
While 1t 10 claimed that the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railway Company
should move its ofIices to Cincinnati
on account Of It's being a central point.
there are other reasons just as good
why they should be kept here.
One OF the principal reasons for the
belief that the officials will not make
any move Ia that the railway company
has its shops here and to move these
would be tremendous undertaking,
II Is likely that they would not con-
slider moving the general Offices with
out also removing the shops
The company has recently purchas-
cd an immense tract Of land near Fort
Lee, a few miles below Richmond
and 1t is said that they are contem-
plating the esta blishment of mammofh
shops there. In few of this IL does
not look as IL any change is contem-
plated.
Another cause for believing that the
rumor has no foundation is that the
general Offices Will be kept near the
principal terminus Of the road. which
In At Newport News. To remove the
Offices too far from the terminus
would not be good business, and the
officials realize this.
Win Raise Protest.
II Is certain that even IL the rail-
way officials do contemplate a move to
Cincinnati the action will not be taken
until good night has been put I'm to
have them retain the general offices
here.
The Richmond Chamber of Conn
merce will put up strong fight, and
whatever material inducements are Of
fered by Cincinnati can and viii be
