For the Western Maryland
Railroad as Well as
His Down.

BALTIMORE, Oct. lS.-Ex-Senator
Henry C. Davis, of Elklns, W. Va,
and president of the Coal aud Coke
railroad, Is one of the country's well
known railway magnates who look for
big things for the Western Maryland
Railway Company as the result 81
its traffic agreement, which it has en-
tered into with the New York Central
Railroad.
The former senator from West Viz
gin!a has been spending several days
in Baltimore and when seen he con
scented to discuss Western Maryland
affairs. He was particularly enthus-
iastic in his praise OF President Alex
ander Robinson, and the work which
he is doing in carrying out the pro.
gressiye policies of the road and pre-
dicted that a large traffic would be
diverted to this port by reason OF
the step which the Western Maryland
had taken in linking up with one OF
the big railroad systems of the
country.
THE alliance of the Western Mary
land with the New York Central, !"
said Ex-senator Davis, is going to
mean much to the Western Maryland
and the city of Baltimore. Under the
agreement as entered into the New
York Central gains new seaport
outlet, and the Western Maryland en-
ters P!ttsburg and will have the OPP
portunity to tap, through the New
York Central connections, the great
Northwestern territory of the United
States. A large tonnage originates
in this territory and the Western
Maryland is going TO share in the bus
Iiness which is destined for the Allan
tic seaboard. look for a big in
crease in the business.
THE Western Maryland is in good
shape and President Robertson has
been successful in carrying out the
progressive policies of the road
Tho road gained the confidence OF
the people and 1 do not hesitate to
predict big things for It.

Tax Commissioner Charges
County Clerk Here with
Failure to Keep
RECORDS OF COUNTY
And Its Books So AS TO Show
the Firscal Affairs of
the Same.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, oct. 49,
Returnable October 81 the supreme
court of appeals of West Virginia
today awarded an alternative writ
of mandamus directing w. Guy
Tetrick. clerk of the county court
of Harrison county, to show cause
why he refuses to keep the system
of records prescribed by the state
accounting department. The writ
was awarded upon the petition of
Tax Commissioner Fred o. Blue, ex-
oficio chief inspector and super
yisior of public offices.
The petition sets up that the tax
commissioner has. In accordance
with the law, prescribed uniform
system of records for sheriffs and
county clerks and that the same has
been approved by the board of pub
lie works; that printed instructions
as to the use of such records have
bssn furnished the clerks and sher-
iffs who were directed to keep such
records; that on the twenty-seyenth
day of May. 1910, the defendant was
ordered by letter to keep said rec
ords beginning July /, 1910; and
that notwithstanding the law, Tho
defendant has not complied with the
formulated prescribed system of
accounting and has not and is not
now keeping and following the
same as required, but SO to do has
failed and neglected"
The petition points out the i'm
portance of keeping the system of
records and charges that TetrIck
was slow to procure the necessary
books and did so only after repeated
requests by the tax commissioner.
that lie has not fully and faithfully
kept the records and is not now do
ing so, that only few entries are
being made to records which are
therefore incomplete and do not
show true and full accounts and de-
tailed statements of all public
funds charged, collected. received,
expended and accounted for during
any of the period since July /. 1910,
and that by reason OF his failure
and default said books do not show
the condition OF the fiscal affairs of
the county OF Harrison"
Tetrlck is ordered by writ either
to keep the records or appear before
the court october 81 and show
cause why he has failed to do SO.
"A similar writ was awarded and
directed against Sheriff Smith, of
Kanawha county.
