Virginia Senatorial
Campaign Figures
Are Made Public

Secretary of the Senate Bennett has
held that the campaign publicity law re-
quires him to make public The state
ments of campaign expenditures filed in
his office by Senator'S
He has therefore made public the
statements filed by Senators Martin and
Swanson of Virginia, the first to be
filed under the new law. The figures,
dating to August %, show that each has
spent about $3.50, of which 5000 is an
enrolment assessment, which, 1t is
maintained, can hardly be counted as
part Of the actual primary expense
fund.
Under the law, a candidate for the
Senate is allowed to spend up to $4,000
The action of Secretary Bennett will
doubtless end the talk of a joker in the
campaign publicity law whereby the
statements of individual candidates can
be kept secret IL the Secretary Of the
Senate sees fit to do so.

Munsey's Tells Of
Mann'S Railroad Career

Isaac F. Marcosson, in Munsey's, tells
a number of coed stories about Sir Dom
old Mann, who with Sir William Mack
enzie built and own the great Northern
railroad Of Canada. They were both
self-made men, and in a measure SOL
diers of fortune.
Speaking of Mann, Marcosson says,
He went to China, expecting to pick
up a valuable railroad concession, but
the exotic ease of the Orient was not
to his liking. He yearned for his clean.
green land Of Canada. Besides, as he
himself puts It, you can build a rail-
road quicker in America than you can
sign a contract for one over there
His Asiatic experience was pictur-
osque in at least one incident. The
story goes that unintentionally he Of
Tended a person of rank. and received
challenge to duel. He accepted the
challenge, and, being the challenged
person, had the choice of weapons.
Tell the gentleman he said, that
i select the broad-ax.
He knew the use of this instrument
better than any other. It is needless
to say that the duel did not come of"

POLITICS GIVE WAY
TO MURDER TRIAL
Vginans Paying Little Att ention To Pleas Of the Rival
80 Candidates. And Campaign Managers Are At
Loss To Get Them Interested In Primaries.

I young. man approached him, introduced
himself, made clear that he was AL
| right" and showed Jones the letters
1t appears that they were found ac-
cidentally In mass OF discarded papers
from an office: just how it happened rs
still rather nebulous; and still more
mysterious is the coincidence that they
should have been found by a person
who would realize their Importance.
Anyhow, Jones got them, and their au-
explanation Martin mas been able TO
make is an admission that he wrote the
letters, and that he Is proud OF doing
1t, because he was seeking money, from
any possible source, with which to sns-
tain white supremacy in Virginia. The
letters, however, specifically Indicate
that the money was wanted to prevent
the election Of a Legislature hostile to
the railroads; they talk about the
danger of anti-railroad supremacy, not
about negro supremacy.
Swanson's tobacco trust stock deal
ing panned out even better for the al
lied insurgents. Here again there Is
mystery as to how Jones got the goods;
but he got them. He charged that
Swanson owned tobacco trust stock, and
Swanson said 1t was false and slnn-
derous. He never had any Tobacco
trust stock in his possession: he bought
1t merely on margin for speculative
purpose: 200 shares at one time, $50 at
this Swanson at another time bought
nearly $4,000 of the stock: which. IL
true. would make a total of near $780,
600 held by him in the three transac-
tions.
Was a Criminal 0ffense.
Then Jones pointed out that buying
stocks on margins is a criminal offence
in Virginia and many other States. In
the District of Columbia the law pro-
vides a maximum Of s1,OoG fine or five
years in prison for II. He made the
charge especially biting by showing
that these speculations took place in
the period after the Spanish war, when
special revenue taxes. imposed on to-
hacco at the beginning of the war.
were likely 10 be repealed at any time;
when Swanson. as a member Of the
Ways and Means Committee. had spe-
cial opportunity to know in advance
about such legislation: and when such
legislation would he sure to boost the
stocks and make his margined stocks
turn him a fine profit.
Altogether, il makes a mighty sordid
showing for n member of the Ways and
Means Committee, representing a to-
bacco- growing constituency. and posing
at home as n perfectly irrepressiole foe
of the toba GO octopus. II has injured
Swanson So much that, whether he wins
this timo or not he will never recover
his former standing with the people Of
Virginia. There is even serious talk
that the legislature may bolt the pri-
mary If he is nominated. in order to
save the State from such a condition.

St. Agnes School For
Girls Opens Monday

The Sisters of the Epiphany of the
Episcopal Church will reopen their
school for girls Monday, October 2.
st. Agnes School is thoroughly mod
ern home school. 1t is situated most
pleasantly in a desirable section of
Washington, easily accessible from all
parts of the city. The house is well
built, comfortably heated. and equipped
with sanitary plumbing. Large grounds
give ample space for outdoor exercise.
The course of study begins with the
first year in the primary school and
carries the pupil through college pro-
paTatory.
In one important respect, st. Agnes
differs from many other modern schools
The terms are arranged SO that clergy
men who receive only moderate salaries
and laymen OF average incomes may
secure for daughters or wards the pe-
culiar educational advantages offered in
Washington.

Industrial Home Too
Slow For Restive Bow

Because Ralph Coates found the In
dustrial Home School ''too slow a
place to be penned up in" and escaped
after stealing $12.15 from an attend
ant, he will be given a long time to
get used to conditions there.
There was nothing doing, out
there" the fourteen-ye old boy told
Judge De Lacy at Juvenile Court yes
terday, $50 ! thought I would get out
long enough to have little fun any
way"
Ralph's fun consisted of street car
riding and moving picture shows, on
which he says he spent about $40.

not found until he was arrested for

Court UphoIds Sunday Laws

For sometime there has been
an effort made in some OF our
centers of population TO over
turn our Sunday laws and turn
all sorts of Sabbath deseration
loose upon society As result,
months ago the variety theaters
and vaudeyilIes bodily threw
their doors wide open SUNDAY
afternoons and evenings, and
local authorities winked at them.
They would arrest them, give
one Of them a nominal fine and
turn the rest free. and by this
practice established these amuSe-
ments on Sunday.
Finally a fine was put upon
some of them. more than they
cared 10 pay. and thev appealed
it 20 the Court Of Criminal APP
peaIs. Here is where they made
their mistake, for Judge Prend-
ergas and Judge Harper sustaid-
ed the sentence Of the trial court
and knocked Sunday thesters
into a cooked hat. After that
one of the moving picture shows
took his Sunday case to the same
court, and now it turns out that
these same two Judges affirmed
that sentence and made the Sun
dav law apply 10 Sunday moving
picture shows. SO the Sunday
moving picture shows are out Of
commission. OF course. Judge
