fire eating along the entire vein, owing
to the engine house having been set
ablaze. The mine is equipped with
two openings, but the location of the
burning engine room is such as to have
cut off escape by both these routes.

Great Holiday Throng
At Glen Echo Park

Glen Echo Park today is enjoying in
creased popularity, as result OF the
big holiday outing yesterday. when the
resort was literally jammed with jost-
ling, good-natured thousands, taxing
the amusement place to its capacity.
Added facilities for the holiday
throngs proved Inadequate. Every
amusement device was kept humming
all day., until late at night, thousands
being lined up continually awaiting
their turns at the riding devices. Other
concessionaires report the best business
of the entire season.

Commenting upon these letters,
Mr.. Jones declared that 1t would be
impossible for him to add by any
thing he might say to their force and
killing effect
He directed attention, however, to
the fact that the letter bearing date
October %, 1895. was written after
Senator Martin had become sena-
tor of the United States, and after he
had severed, as he claimed to have
done, all of his railroad connections.
He pointed out that 1t was a most In
sistent appeal to representative OF
great railroad company for FUNDS
to be used in the election Of certain
candidates for the Legislature, but
that there was not even a pretense
that the funds we're sought for the
purpose of preserving the supremacy
of the white people of Virginia. The
writer of the letter boldly and un-
blushingly, said Mr.. Jones. urged
railroad contributions in order to
help elect members Of the Legisla-
ture upon whom experiences had
shown the railroads could always
rely. Senator Martin asked in this
letter If 1t had come to pass that
the railroads did not need a leader
or friends in the House. and declared
The Washington times., 1911-09-05

that his reason for writing so plainly
and so urgently was the deep inter
est which he felt in the matter. In
this connection Mr.. Jones directed
sharp attention to these words OF
Senator Martin:
Find the railroad for whom l
have lobbied. Find the legislator
whom 1 have solicited. FIND THE
MAN 1 HAVE SOLICITED FOR AND
YOU FIND A LIAR BEARING
FALSE WITNESS"
Before concluding his remarks,
Mr.. Jones declared that he would
address a few observations and pro-
pound a few questions to the Hon.
Thomas 8. Martin, to which the peo-
ple of Virginia would like for him
to make answer.

tense, that you were not closely and

"You cannot whine as to these, as
you did in the case Of the Barbour
Thompson letters L never saw
them I never handled them You
yourself wrote them, and the only
question is, What do they prove?
"(1) They prove that in 1893, the
year you were elected United States
senator over General Fitzhugh Lee,
when the nomination of members of
the next Legislature was before the
people, you were in correspondence
over such nominations with the rail-
road attorney, who admitted before
the investigating committee Of the
Legislature that he handled in
Southwest Virginia the contribution
of the Norfolk and Western Rail-
road Company.
"(2) That this was the man whom
you asked to SO manipulate the nomi-
nation that Mr.. Allen Watts should
be nominated for the Senate.
"(3) That you at that time cared
nothing for the high ability of Mr..
Watts or the interest of the State,

pect that the dissipation of last win
ter would make serious inroads on

Sam Devere's Company
Scores at the Lyceum

Nymphera, the advertised feature Of
Sam Devere's burlesque company,
while wonderful in its way, did not de-
tract from the popularity of the two
act farce, "a Legal Affair" in which
John w. Early, Ned Radcliffe. James
Emmett, and Ed Ward had chance to
show their power as funny men.
The farce deals with the efforts OF
a Dutchman to get the water rights on
a certain piece of land, so that he can
build a brewery, and gives Pearl Leigh,
the leading lady, a chance to swindle
everybody, while posing as q suffragette
lawyer.
The lines of the farce are clever,
and the comedy Is well presented. The
chorus is we'll costumed and lively, ana
the whole performance goes on In
snappy and pleasing manner.
Gertrude Lynch has the leading num-
ber in the olio. and her several songs
and imitation of Eva Tanquay were re-
cefved in an enthusiastic manner. ON

THE PEOPLE AGAINST THE BOSSES

Such SHAPE AS TO RESULT IN
THAT Way You may deny hand
ling the letters OF Mr.. Thompson,
but here you are found, not only
backed by Mr.. Thompson, who han
died other railroad funds, but max
ing suggestions to the man who
handled the funds of the Norfolk
and Western Railroad Company as
to how to get a certain gentleman
nominated. II he would give you his
support.
How close must you be brought
to railroads before you are willing to
admit that you have been for years
as their willing servitor? Did the
railroads have any reason to spend
their money for your benefit unless,
as you said of Mr.. Flood, they have
always been able to rely on you?
You are willing for Thompson to be
held responsible for his damning let
ter about not letting Hatcher have
$50000 unless, as he tells Mr.. HoI-
land, you must satisfy yourself very
thoroughly as to his position You
are willing to paint Mr.. Flood as one
whom the railroads have always
been able to rely on You are will
ing to beg to get the man who
handled the funds of the Norfolk
and Western Railroad Company to
try to manipulate a nomination.
HOW PURE WE'RE YOU IN ALL
THIS RAILROAD ACTIVITY? You
finally became the recipient Of the
United States senatorship through
these funds and this activity. You
must no longer dodge behind Thomp-
son. You now stand exposed both
as to your associates and followers.
And on every side you are surround
ed by men upon whom the railroads
HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO
RELY In your letter Of 1896 you
intimate that this Mr.. Glasgow Is a
member of the third estate You
know well what these words mean.
They mean lobbyists-men who hang
around the Legislature either to
press bills for corporations or to
defeat bills deemed by the corpora
tions to be injurious to their inter-
ests. Does not your letter show
close association between you and
such men-whom you graphically de-
scribe as the, gang'-your gang'
"a little more than one year later
you write again to Mr.. Glasgow. You
appeal for aid for Mr.. Flood. Did
you do it upon the ground Of white
supremacy or the interest Of the
people9 BY no means. You boldly
state because the railroads have al
ways been able to rely on Flood II
