JUDGE BLAIR WANTS
HIS ACTS PASSED UPON

Portsmouth, o., Jan. M.-So eager IL
Judge Blair to have his constitutional
right of DISTINGUISHING Adams county
vote-sellers tested that he will adjourn
court tomorrow evening and devote the
remainder of the week to arranging for
a suit to be heard in the supreme court.
This action will be independent of that
relating to feos for the county clerk.
Since the word has gone out that a
test case is to be made the grand jury
has been greatly hampered in its probe.
Many have held back because of a
feeling that the supreme court may in
validate the indictments returned.
Judge Blair announced that secret
methods of gaining information for the
grand jury will be followed in Scioto
county If the probe started there does
not show anything on tho surface.

OPEN MEETING OF
THE CITY COUNCIL

a great many citizens were present
at meeting of the city council last
night to discuss the water works propo-
sition, that feature of it relative to the
kind of pipe to construct the line that
is to convey the water from Unicoi to
the city. A contractor is here who will
construct the line and accept bonds in
payment, but the board must decide
whether they will use all iron pipe or
wooden ones for that portion of the
line where the pressure is light There
is quite difference in cost, if wood
pipes are used, and ii will enable the
city to construct the line within the
bond issue to use them. For this rea-
son many citizens are inclined to doso.
On the other hand there are those who
prefer iron if another bond issue has to
be voted to meet the expense. There
was considerable discussion and vote
of those present was finally taken as to
the position of those present on the
question. Half or more of the crowd
voted for iron pipe and no one voted
for wood, but what those favored who
did not vote is not known. The board
adjourned TO meet today at o'clock to
settle the question.
The question of the street car fran
chise did not come up last night.

GRAND RAPID
PAPER TALKS
QUESTION OF SUCCESSION
Representative Washington Gard
ner Will be in Fight for Man
ager of the Soldiers Home

Relative to the fight for the
management of the National Sol
diers' Home at Johnson City,
which now seems to have narrow
ed down to two men, John Bell
Rrownlow, of Knoxville, and Rep
resentative Gardner, of Michigan,
the Grand Rapids Herald prints
the following from its Washing
ton correspondent under date of
January Il, relative to the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Gardner and his pros-
poets for winning:
Ever since the death of Rep
resentative Walter P. Brownlow,
of Tennessee, who was local man
ager of the National Soldiers
Home at Johnson City, there has
been a spirited contest waged
over the selection of the success
or. The last candidate mention
ed in this connection is Repre- sem
tative Washington Gardner, of
MICHIGAN, who failed of re-elcc-
ton to the next congress. Mr..
Gardeners candidacy has caused
no end of protest from the Ten
uessee delegation in the house.
"It appears that the position
will be filled by act of congress
and the military committee of the
house will probably make the Sc
lection. Mr.. Gardeners candidacy
has the support of Chairman Hull
of this committee and it is said
that he has other influential
backing in addition. The Ten
nessee delegation says there is no
necessity for going to Michigan
to select a union soldier to fill
this place.
Representative Austin, one of
the republican member from Ten
nessee, has informed Chairman
Hull that if Mr.. Gardner received
the appointment it will be over
his dead body. Tennessee fur
nished SO, 900 soldiers to the union
said Mr.. Austin, in dis
cussing the matter today, land
there is absolutely no reason in
the world why one outside the
state should be chosen as manag-
er of our National Soldiers Home. |
have nothing whatever person
lilly against Mr.. Gardner, l con-
slider him one of my very best
friends, but / am not in favor of
yoing into Michigan for a candi-
late for a position which has al
ways been considered as belong
ng to our own state. My own
;audidate for this position is Col.
Tohn Bell Brownlow, a cousin of
he late representative. He was
gallant union soldier and de-
erves the appointment"
1t is not known just why Rep
esentative Gardner desires such
.ssignment, for it is stated that
here is no salary attached to the
'ffice. Mr.. Gardner himself re-
uses to discuss the subject, but
t is known that he is an avowed
andidate for the position.

ALLEGED
AGREEMENT
WHICH ELECTED LUKE LEA
Gov. Patterson's Friendship For
McMiIlin Held Him Where He
Gould Not Aid Others

Nashville, Jan. 24.-It is said
that the alleged deal between Lea
and Mayor Crump, of Memphis,
thereby effecting the election of
the former, was that Mr.. Crump
should name the election officers
of Shelby county. He goes before
the people of Memphis in Novem-
Der for reelection.
In his alleged deal five of the
Shelby delegation stood by him,
Treezevant, Stanton, Horn, Que
nichet and Miller. Although the
latter voted for Raines, it is said
he was really with Crump.
In taking this action at least a
portion of the Memphis delega-
ton think they are in a position
to get most any legislation they
may ask for. They claim the
balance of power.
The democrats are not pleased
with the action of their Memphis
friends. Threats are being made
that certain pet measures of theirs
will never see the light in the
senate. Senators Mckay, Bacon
and Page do not approve of the
action of the members of the
house in voting for Lea. Senator
Bacon said of the move: Il think
it is hi"
The democrats are attributing
their defeat to different causes.
Some say the fusionists simply
outgeneraled them. Some attrib-
ute it to the aspirations of Gen.
Wright. Some to McMillin's re-
fusal to retire; others to Gov. Pat
terson; but it is known that Gov
Patterson was always loyalty for
McMillin and repeatedly refused
to allow his own name to be con-
sidered. AS ex-Gov. McMillin
persisted in being a candidate it
was impossible for Gov. Patterson
to aid any one else aspiring to
the honor.
Senator-elect Lea was asked
for a statement. He said he
would gladly give one, but that
he preferred to defer it until
a later date. He was worn out.
w. o. Vertrees, chairman of
the democratic executive commit
tee, when asked for statement
on the result of the day, he said /:
ut is not desirable to discuss
causes in the face of the fact that
the republicans, by aid of their
allies, general and special, have
gained the victory. Whether
that victory is a fruitful one re-
mains to be seen. One thing,
however, is comforting : We
low know absolutely that Sem
ator Taylor and our democratic
representatives in congress are
hose to whom we must look for
leadership and faithful organiza-
ion for the contest in 1912"

finally yelled to the earnest solicita-
tons of the host to have seat and
went in the house. Mr.. Cooper
excused himself moment and went
into another room. AS he did not
return at once the officers got busy
and PECAN to look around the
p 'em'ses. Mrs. Cooper asked them
to await the return of her hu sband,
but Mr., Bowers said he did not an
ticipa5e an immediate return of the
gentleman and took walk around
the house. If Cooper did not get
away in flying machine the ground
must have swallowed him up, GER
tain it is thathe has not since been
seen. The officers found the still,
however, safely hid away under the
house with underground pipe line
conveying water from a mountain
spring directly to it and also pipes
carrying the refuse away to a dump
ing ground on the bank of
Tumblin creek.
The smoke was conveyed tol
the chimney and went up through

of the backlog and passed out un-
noticed to one in the building
