NEWS OF THE OLD DOMINION.
TREASURER A FUGITIVE.
Isle of Wight County, Virginia, i
Short Some s12, 000-- Bonding
Company Pursue.

Suffolk, Va, Feb. 14.-Anticipating
his indictment as a defaulter, Benja-
min L. Roberts, until recently treas
urer of Isle of Wight county, Virginia,
hed from the community and is yet a
fugitive supposed to be in distant
parts.
The grand jury Of the Circuit Court
indicted Roberts on three counts Of
embezzlement, and the County Super
visors yesterday offered rewards for
his capture.
The amount Of Roberts alleged
shortage is $4,000, due to the county.
He already had settled with the State.
Detectives Of the company which was
on Roberts bond are pursuing him
relentlessly, and his ultimate capture
is almost assured.
Attorney James U. Burgess, repre-
;enting the bonding company, said to-
lay he had just sent $500 to Isle Of
Wight as partial settlement of the
.ounty's claim. The exact amount Of
the shortage will not be known for
some time, but the attorney said he
expected it to be $4,000. Roberts,
who was treasurer for II years, was
renominatcd at last summers prima-
les, but failed to have his name on
he official ballot at the November
elections The bonding company had
got busy.
Roberts father was treasurer for
many years before him. He is single
and it is said that fast living is the
:ause of his present troubles

ACTION IS POSTPONED.
Mt. Vernon Investigation Will Not
be Taken up Until Some Day
Next Week.

Richmond, Va, Feb. IA The reso-
luton calling for an investigation OF
the Mount Vernon Association, char
acterized before the public lands COM
mittee as a "close corporation ex-
plotting patriots tomb as financial
proposition" leaped into prominence
before the legislature today when it
was given hearing before the house
committee on general laws. Attorney
Hill Carter had been engaged to repre-
sent the association, and throughout
the hearing he fired ironical questions
at Delegate Sutphin, who introduced
the probe resolution, the trend OF
which showed that the association
would take the viewpoint that its char
ter allowed it to charge admission
fees and that the State had no author
ty to interfere.
Stuphin renewed in brief the char
ges made by Attorney Whippler, OF
Alexandria, last week, and concluded
by declaring "an invitation is being
sought not with the intention or de-
sire of injuring or discrediting any
one connected with the association, but
solely to bring it about so that the
people may gaze upon the tomb of the
father of their country without having
to pay for the privilege.
Action on the resolution was post
poned by the Committee until next
week in order that former Attorney
General Anderson may appear in be-
half of the association. When the
resolution is reported it will take its
place we'll to the front of the House
calendar. Consequently question
whether the Mount Vernon Associa-
ton will or will not be investigated
will probably be finally settled within
the next ten days.

It is very surprising to find in the

OF an old phrase. Everything was
lovely and the goose was hanging
high" This Is the way the unln-
formed commonality have come to
write it, but in the Tar Heel coun-

dering is "the goose honks high" as
the wild goose does when the wealth
er is fine, or, in other words, when

elected this year. Nevada is expect
cd to do its onc-sixth in this partlc-
ular There is no doubt Of the state
going Democratic. There Is no doubt
OF Wilson's receiving a huge mayor
ity but there is doubt OF the election

the fact that the entire batteries OF
the Republicans are turned upon this
one Office 1t is hoped by the stand
patterS to concentrate their strength
upon the defeat OF United States SEN

that any progressive legislation pro-

Nevada'S democracy this year is
united Parry pride is strong and the
fight for great Democratic progress

victory this year. The victory must
be made complete by the election OF
Key Pittman and Clay Tallman to oc-

Wilson's progressive policies.
Nevada Democrats who are being
importuned for reasons O1 friend ~h,p
or otherwise to desert the candidates

stop a moment and realize what. 1t
would mean to elect a President and
then fail to give him support i'll the

Cowine has not been notified OF the
capture. If it came to Capt. Don
nelley he has not notified the Warden
and Mr.. Cowing is now without direct
official information relative IL the
holding oi Wilson for e>tradition.
As he is in British possession. it Will
take an international extradition to
bring him back to Nevada to finish
his sentence. As far as Warden Cow
ing is concerned he has no official
knowlcdge Of the capture of the es-

The same was true oi Skinner, who
was captured by San Francisco po-

by direct and personal tclegraphic
news. When this was CONFIRMED he
left personally for the California
town and brought his man .home.
While there is no direct friction
between the State Polio" and the
prison authorities, yet the Warden
naturally feels that he is one of the
real interested parties. and for the
good of his position it would seem
that he should be the first man in
formed OF such important state al
fairs
