CoUNTY,s MONEY TIED UP.

Speculation is rife just now in Prince
William county rs TO just how the
county finances will be affected by the
recent suspension of the Virginia Sale
Deposit and Trust Corporation in Alex
andria. When the county treasurer
qualified three years ago this company
became his surety on his official bond.
Since that time the treasurer has been
keeping 4 part OF the county funds on
deposit with the surety company, and
at the time Of the suspension had on
deposit with the company between
IS, 900 and $4,000. The auditor OF
public accounts has sent out a circular
letter, calling attention to the necessity
OF the execution OF a new bond by
those officials who were bonded by the
embarrassed surety company. No bond
has yet been executed by the county
treasurer Of Prince William county,
nor have any steps been taken thus far
to compel him to do SO, although it is
expected that such bond will be executed
shortly. In the meantime, the ques-
ton is being asked whether the county
will be embarrassed by having its funds
tied up till the affairs OF the trust COM
pany can lie wound up.

PROTEST TO PRESIDENT.

Miss Harriet G. Comegys, regent oil
the Mount Vernon Ladies Association,
accompanied by delegation OF this or
ganization and Representa- i've Carlin,
saw President Taft ut the White House
yesterday with reference to the pro
posed criminal reformatory at Belvoir,
Fairfax county.
The regent and vice-rcgent repeated
their plea for Mount Vernon, following
their appeal 10 the District OF Columbia
commissioners OF the day before. The
hope was expressed that presidential
intervention wilf cause the District
commissioners to alter their plans, SC
far rs location is concerned. The
presidents attitude was noncommittal
for the reason that he stated that be
had not rs yet been able to give full
consideration to the subject. He prom
iseu to take the matter up wth the
commissioners without delay, and hay
ing heard both sides of the question,
earnestly endeayor to arrive at 4 salts
factory conclusion.
Howe Totten, OF Washington, yes
terday instituted proceedings against
the District OF Columbia for $4,000
damages, alleging that he has been
compelled TO abandon his home, which
is located adjoining the District work
house at Occoquan, on account OF this
institution being conducted in a lax and
inefficient manner. 1t is further
alleged by Mr. Totem that prisoners
escape from the workhouse every
week, making the neighborhood un-
safe.
In speaking Of the matter, Mr.. Tot,
ten said that land is inexpensive near
the little village OF Lorton, which is the
railroad station OF the workhouse, and
that it lies in q beautiful country. He
said that a number of Washington peo-
pie have in the past years purchased
tracts OF land, built houses and settled
there with the intention of remaining,
and have spent large sums OF money
for that purpose in improving the
place.
Mr.. Totten claims that all the
settlers have departed, shut up their
houses and have placed their properties
on the market for sale, and that it i:
the most difficult matter to find pur.
chasers.

WHISKY PIPE LINE.

In the case OF the United States
against the Phil G. Kelly Company,
incorporated, charged on 1l9 counts
in four indictments with violation OF
the United States revenue laws, Judge
Waddill in Richmond yesterday gave
his ruling on the testimony to the
effect that a pipe line, ostensibly for
tho purpose OF carrying water from
the Darbytown distillery to John
Thompson 5 rectifying plant, has sup
piled the Phil G. Kelly Company With
whisky on which no tax had been
paid.
The testimony was given yesterday
afternoon by Benjamin F. Adkins,
special agent for the revenue depart
ment. Judge Waddill ruled out the
testimony in SO far as it has to do with
tho present case against the Kelly con-
Germ, but held that there is no excuse
for moving liquor from rectifying es-
adjustment, and should it be true that
Mr.. Kelly has failed to keep proper
records OF spirits on which he knew no
tax had been paid, he should be pros
ecuted.
To connect the Kelly firm with q
pipe OF this sort, he said, would cal!
for direct knowledge OF their guilt. He
also said that probably in this case there
should be an indictment for conspiracy.
