FIGHT ON FOR TWO u. S.
SENATORS In w. VA.
Four Candidates in Bitter Con-
test for TOgas.

CHARLESTON, ". Va, Jan. "a
selection of the two new West Vir-
ginia Federal senators, according to
territorial lines within the State, one
being selected from the Northern and
the other from the southern half of
the commonwealth, was the probable
outcome OF the contest as shown by
today's early developments.
On this basis the open fight will be
between Clarence E. Watson, of Fair
mont, and w. E. Chiffon, OF Charles
ton, on one side, and John 7. McGraw,
of Grafton. and John H. Holt, of Hun
tington, or the other. Outside of these
men the most advantageous position
Is occupied by John Cornwell, of the
Eastern Pan Handle" who may win
a place as a compromise candidate In
either of the combinations. Lawrence
Tierney, from one of the extreme
southern counties, has apparently lost
strength yer Sunday.

NON VULT, The
PLEA ENTERED
Continued from First PaEs.)

and Judge Ten Eyck consented to re-
ceiye 1t.
Prosecutor Mott, with the indictment
charging Mrs. Martin with the murder
OF Ocey Snead in his hand, then
stepped in front of Mrs, Martin and in
a low, kindly voice, said:
Mrs. Martin, l understand you wish
to retract your plea of not guilty to
murder, as charged in this indictment,
and plead non vult to manslaughter?"
Mrs. Martin started to rise from her
seat, sank back, and, in a voice full of
emotion, said: you men may under
stand what this all means / don't. I
had nothing to do with the death Of
my daughter, the loveliest girl that
ever lived. Such creatures as o men
of New Jersey are have never been
known since God first made man."
But do I understand that you sc
plead?" gently urged Mott.
II don't do it because I want to-"
said Mrs. Martin. 81 don't know what
It means. 1 would rather go to the
electric chair ten thousand times than
suffer this hypocrisy my longer"
do I understand, Mrs. Martin"
asked Judge Ten Eyck, that you con-
bGAAi " yOoh Aa"VtAo Ia NAAo RACo
for you and that you agree to it?"
Slowly and without moving her lips,
Mrs. Martin nodded her head up and
down twice. Judge Ten Eyck then or
dered the plea of non vult to a
slaughter entered on the records and
left the bench for a moment. ;
When Judge Ten Eyck again resumed
the bench Prosecutor Mott asked him
when the case would be disposed of.
"At the present time I cannot say
said Judge Ten Eyck. "I will now re-
mand the prisoner to jail for sentence,
but cannot AK the date when It will be
imposed. Counsel on both sides will be
notified in ample time"
AS the stir in the room notified Mrs.
Martin that the proceedings were over
she rose to her feet and asked her coun-
her side during the entire hearing, "Can
l go home now?"
Yes" said Sommer as he motioned
to Constable McManus.
But 1 don't want to go with hin, Z"
complained Mrs. Martin. who, for some
unknown reason, has developed an
antipathy to good-natured McManus.
She was lea from the courtroom and
taken to the sheriff's Office, where she
Joined her sister, Mrs. Snead. For half
an hour she sat there protesting that
she vas innocent, and was then taken
to the jail, where she will remain until
she is sentenced, probably a week
from today.
1t is not believed that Mrs. Martin
will be sent to State prison, but will
be confined in some institution where
careful medical treatment can be given
her. 1t is expected that the indictment
against Mrs. Snead will be nolle
prosecuted at the same time Mrs. Mar
tin Is sentenced.

ley line to be held in the Board Of
Works roomos on Thursday morning.

could not be present at the hearing,
but would send the superintendent OF
the operating department. He agreed,
however. to appear on Friday.
The commissioners are anxious to
have MI. McCarter appear In person.
The hearing is a direct result
OF the protests of a delegation of prop
erty-owners that appeared before the
board last week, headed by A. r. Jen-
kinson. The men complained that the
Kinney line was the worst in the city
and runs fewer ears now than il did
in 1902, despite the fact that the popu-
lation has increased in that territory.
Commissioner O'Connell called the

The lads, after their incarceration,
admitted to the police, SO they say, that
the attempt at robbing the large office
building was not their first venture.
I'VE were bound to be good men and

think that this was q bad affair, but 1T
was luck against us. We will be more
successful in the future" said Kllarn.
Killarn and Ferase, according to their
own story, went into the building, in

RLDs THE SYSTEM
OF SCROFULA

Scrofula is disease usually mani
tested in childhood, though some who
are victims Of the trouble reach man
hood or womanhood before there is
any manifestation OF the trouble; but
no matter at what age it shows, the
disease germs are in the blood, and
until they are removed there cannot
be healthy condition of the body.
The ordinary symptoms of Scrofula
are swollen glands about the neck,
scalp diseases, skin affections, poor
physical development, etc. SIS. S.
has cured thousands of cases of Scrof-
ula. 1t is the greatest of all blood
purifiers, and by going down into the
circulation and removing the germs
and poisons, and enriching the blood
by the creation of nutritive corpuscles,
S. S. S. makes permanent cure.
S. S. S. is purely vegetable remedy,
made entirely OF health-giving roots,
herbs, and barks, and is perfectly safe
for persons of any age, or those in
delicate conditions of health. No one
need fear to give S. S. S. to child,
following directions, and the health it
will bring to frail, delicate children
will be a blessing to their parents. If
you or your child have Scrofula, write
for orr book on the blood and ask for
any medical advice. No charge fof
either. S. S. S. is sold at drug stores.

ADMIRAL AND VICE-ADMIRAL.

Representative Roberts Introduces
Measure OF Interest to Naval Circles.
Washington, D. c.. December "A
bill OF great interest to naval circles
In Washington was introduced In the
House to-day by Representative Rob-
erts. Of Massachusetts. It is Intended
to eliminate the embarrassment which
high ranking naval officers OF the
United States havo felt In tho past
when at gatherings with ranking naval
officers OF other nations. and proposes
to recreate the grades of admiral and
vice-admiral in the navy.
The bill provides that the rank OF
vice-admiral shall be flied from the
list of rear-admirals who have served
as commanders OF fleets, squadrons or
divisions. The rank Of admiral is to
be filled from the list Of vice-admirals.
There have been no admirals or vice.
admirals on the active list since imme-
diately after tho Civil War.
By the provisions of the bill, tho
