SIX HELD TO PAY FINE OF $500 EACH

Fourteen of the twenty officers
and committeeman of the Southeast
ern Underwriters Association, who
were found guilty last November OF
maliciously conspiring to increase
fire insurance rates for Newport
News, and were fined $500 each,
were discharged by Judge Barham
in the Corporation Court Monday.
The court set aside the verdict
as to all OF the defendants, except
the six members of the Virginia
committee of the Underewritrs' AS
ISOLATION, who actually were present
when the increase Of 10 per cent in
local rates was promulgated.
Counsel for the Defendants now
contend that the court is obliged
to dismiss the case against the
remaining six, and this point will be
argued later. In the event the mo-
ton is oyerruled, the six will take
heir cases to the Court of Appeals.

A NEW RAILROAD

The Newport News Times-Herald
hears a rumor from Richmond,
which. if it turns out to be true, is
of the greatest interest and import
ance to that city and to Fredericks-
burg. The report concerns the
building of a railroad line from
Washington to Hampton Roads by,
way of Fredericksburg and Rich
mond and in this connection our con-
temporary says editorially:
1.-The news from Richmond that {
party of foreign capitalists will build 1
line Of railroad from Hampton Roacs
Il, Washington by way Of YORKTOWN
and Fredericksburg is important, II
true. We have no knowledge on he
subject. but the scheme is most attrac-
tive and sooner or later such road VII
be built. Ii would not only connec;
two important points by the shortest
possible lire of road, but II would pen
citrate a rich section of Virginia, nov
without adequate transportation taciii-
tiks
(Ihe project has been under discussion
Mr. some time past and at least one
prominent railroad man has SAID that IL
was entirely practicable. he has even
gone so iar as 20 say that he woulc
lend his aid in carrying II through, Il
the urcisctols could get the necessary
financial backing.
The G,ulds are contemplating tie
buildlng of a line OF electric rai," ny
between Richmond and NaShngIVn
and have already built a suDS'a"uai
road from Richmond to Ashland.

This is mere conjecture. out that II,

ton Roads with Washington Is wofklns

The Gould interests are rapicN
working on their power house IN

ton of the enormous power Of the
Rappaharnock river. and il is evident
that this power viii shortly be put
to some profitable use. \ line from
Washington to the great deep-wattr
outlet at Newport News, with a
feeder from the west and subsidl-
airy electric line down through the
Northern Neck would, We believe,
prove a profitable venture.
The Sulloway pension grail, adding
S45, 100000 to the already sweled
pension appropriation, has been
favorably reported by the Senate
committee and has already passed
the House. 1t is generally reported
that the committee would not have
made favorable report except for
the fact that it is generally under
stood that President Taft will veto
the bill if it passes the Senate. We
hope that neither Virginia Senator
will vote for the bill on this theory
since in the first place it is dangerous
to take such a chance and in the
second place cowardly to place the
burden of responsibility on the
shoulders of the president The only
thing a conscientious public repre-
sentative can do is to vote against
this robbery.

 GETTING BUSY

Commissioner Conway. in his ca pacity of Mining Recorder, has had some business of late. The other day John J. Pugh of this place filed location papers on ten claims on Nugget and Cottonwood creeks. the waters of which finally enter the Chilcat.
 Mir. Pugh found his best prospects on Cottonwood according to Judge Conway. The first pan showed col ors; the next coarse gold, and the third a good sized nugget, hence MT. Pugh is somewhat elated.
 There has been some activity around the Skagway hills also. John E. Clark and Arthur Wilson have each recently recorded quartz lOca- tions on the East Fork of the Skag- way river. The property is described as being near Whistler's Gulch and is said to be very likely looking rock,

 Speaking of the progress in that section he said that Rosene had five pack horses on the road packing in supplies to the Guardsmen where a crew Is now working in the mine This crew will be augmented in a few days by the addition or several men.

4 PROFITABLE
 INVESTMENT

The most appropriate and at the same time the most attractive sou venir one may take from Alaska, is that which was instrumental in focus sing the attention of the entire world on our great country.
 Ever since the magic year of 1897 gold has poured from the creeks and beaches of Alaska and been convert ed into money reckoned into millions. Hence the sight of gold either mint ed or mounted at once directs ones mind to the land of the midnight sun.
 What more appropriate then, than piece of nugget jewellery, either as a frame for the beautiful mastodOn ivory, stained by the countless years it has endured, or nuggets joined in chain work by a skilled artisan. A brooch or solitary nugget of curious natural shape is a souvenir which tells the story of the mad rush to the Rondike.
 The fact that a purchase Of nugget jewellery is in reality an investment in an article that cannot depreciate seems to be dawning upon the vis- itors to the Northland and the sales are rapidly increasing in this line of goods.
 H. D. Kirmse has made a study of the art of nugget jewellery mounting, and has the finest display of the yellow metal" ever gathered to- gether in one salesroom.
