BOWERS At WHITE HOUSE
WITH SCOTT AND ELKINS
Much Speculation Among West vir-
ginians at Washington Until
Visit Is Explained.

Possibly the publication OF the fact
that Senator Murray Crane needs no
latch key or password when he wants
to call Oh the President, stirred up
other senator's and political leaders
who make occasional calls at the
White House Offices II has long been
noticed the Senator Crane walks in
with the easy air of enc who knows
the way and who is made welcome.
but Il was also noticed yesterday that
Nathan B. Scott, late senator from
West Virginia passed through the por
tails without any of the bother attach
ed TO sending in a card or being held
up by the doorkeeper. 1t might be
added that both Crane and Scott are
members of the republican national
committee and with the White House
beginning 30 play politics for next
year, there is ever welcome for a ma
tional committee mag7ate like Scott
or Crane.
Out I'M West Virginia the call of
Scott will attract attention. especially
when it is told that he WIS escort for
Senator Davis Elkins and Fish Com
missioner George NJ. Bowers. Just
why Il took two former senators ome a
member of the national committee, TO
secure Bowers an audience with the
president is not explained. Also there
was some mystery about such call at
this time. Bowers has ever been active
in West Virginia politics without ever
forgetting the best interests Of Bow
ers. and best of all has played fair
with factions of the party in the east
ern panhandle. There will be some
curiosity among the faithful up in the
State as to why the fish commissioner
had to be chaperoned to the White
House, but IL was evident that Sect
| ty," as the President always calls the
Wheeling statesman has the entree as
of old and the cafl of the younger FL
kins would give the impression that
| he, too, is to be consulted by the ad-
ADMINISTRATION regarding future political
\ propositions in the "Montani se1nper
| liberi" Commonwealth.
After all either West Virginia repub-
leans at Washington had wondered
long and hard over the senatorially es.
corted call of Commissioner Bowers at
the White Homse. TIL agony of sus-
pense was ended by the admission
from the seats of the mighty that
Bowers emily wanted to tell President
Taft about selling sealskins in Paris
with a splendid profit TO the Federal
Treasury Washington Post.

An Interesting Article On How Rus
sian Horses Are Fed.

Washington, d. c.. May 9.--John H.
Snodgrass. OF West Virginia, Con-
sui General at Moscow, Russia, has
an interesting article in the Daily Con-
saplar and Trade Reports of Saturday,
en- the Diet and Food of Horses in
Russia.
Mr.. Snodgress says the feeding of
eiarn. mixed foods or prepared diets Is
unknown in Russia except among the
racing fraternity who have adopt I'd
American ideas brought over by
American trainers. Oats, he says.
constitute three-fourths Of the food
upon which the Russian horse must
exist throughout the year. Little hay
is fed, mash grasses and straw being
fed TO many OF the horses along with
their oats. City horses never taste a
spear OF green grass but are occa-
sionally fed carrots. The constant
diet of oats causes cracked skins and
heels with running sores which usual
ly disappear with proper feeding.
Mr. Snodgrass has made a splendid
record in the consular service, going
from Pretoria, South Africa, TO Kobe,
Japan amid then a Consul General to
Moscow 1t would not be a surprise
to see him soon prmoted to some
good consulate in western Europe.

MRS FREEZE FIGURES
IN REAL ROMANCE
Interesting Story Connected With The
Marriage Of Martlnsburg Lady
to Texas Man.

The ShepherdStown Register in its
last issue had an interesting story in
connection with the marriage nearly
two weeks ago OF Mrs. Freeze, widow
of Capt Samuel Freeze, a well known
resident of this city prior to his death
over year ago, and residing in
Sherherdstown. The Register says:
"A real romance eliminated last
Wednesday when Mr.. Charles Fl. Hoff-
man, of Dallas Texas, and Mrs. USE
phine V. Freeze, of Shepherdstown.
were married. The wedding took place
iii waynesboro, Pa, at the home OF
Nj. S. A. Richard, where the brides
aunt, Mrs. H,bermia Cline, is staying,
the ceremony being performed by
Rev. Thomas s. Wilcox, OF the NJ. F.
Church.
More than thirty years ago Charlie
Hoffman, who then lived in Sherherds-
town, and Miss Josephine Hyder, of
HIrorefield w. Va, were lovers. She
visited here relatives here. and the
young couple became strongly attach
ed to each other. When Miss Hyder re-
turned to her home in Moorefield the
two were engaged, and long vista
n9 happiness seemed to stretch itself
before them. But although Mr.. Hoff-
man wrote to her, he never received a
reply and her letters to him were nev-
err answered. Each doubted the sin
certify of the other. and an estramge-
ment followed that resulted in Mr..
Hoffman leaving this section and go
ing about as far away as he could get
He finally settled in Texas, and for
the past twenty-five years or more has
| lived i'm Dallas. He married there and
raised family Miss Hyder also mar
ried, her husband being Cart. Samuel
Freeze who died a year or two ago. It
/ was not until a long time after Mr..
| Hoffman and Miss Hyder had separ-
ated that the cause of their trouble b.
came known. clerk in the Moore
field postofIice who was himself in

that he had intercepted the letters
between the two, hoping that by max
ing her believe her Shepherdstown
/ lover to be untrue he would get her.
/ But this scheme failed so far as his
/ interest was concerned. though it did

"Mr. Hoffman's wife died a few
years ego, and when he heard % Cap

Of coincidence to the widow. Her an
swer resulted in a correspondence,
and since she came to Shepherdstown
about year ago thu two have written
each other regularly. with no one to
steal the letters Mr.. Hoffman came
here three or four weeks ago, and IT
took only a short time to rekindlle tn

shone as brightly ais 1t did third CT
a century before and the VOWS OF long
ago were renewed Last week the
