vERTREEs FOR HOOPER.

In MS dDle anu 6AHduStiFS iSPiJ
to the brief of John J. Vertrees
claimant for the place of Democratic
Committeeman from Tennessee, Hon
Robert E. Lee Mountcastle, makes
the following startling assertion.
I'VE further assert that Maj. w. o.
vertrees, brother of the claimant
practically dictated the nomination
OF Governor B. w. Hooper as candi-
date for Governor by the Republican
convention, because on the night be-
fore the Republican convention met
and when it appeared that the two
leading candidates for nomination
were Robert s. Sharp and B. W..
Hooper. Major Vertrees informed
some of his associates and also New
ell Sanders, chairman of the Repub-
lican Executive Committee, that he
could not and would not support
Sharp if he were nominated, but
would support Hooper and that II
Sharp were nominated he would
simply have to resign from the dem
ocratic State Executive Committee of
which he was chairman, because, for
reasons stated by him, largely per-
sonal, he would not support Sharp.
The result of this statement by w. 0.
Vertrees, brother Of claimant, that
he would not support Sharp, but
would support Hooper, caused the
Of Sharp from the race
and the nomination Of Hooper on the
day.
AT this meeting, Room 81 Max
we'll House, were present Hon. Char
les T. Gates, Jr., Attorney General
If the state, lifelong Democrat; B.
4. Enloe, former congressman from
Tennessee and member Of the rail-
Dad commission, life long demo
rat; Hon. T. B. Johnson, member Of
he legislature, life long democrat;
Ion. Luke Lea now United States
senator, lifelong Democrat. Col.
\. M. Shook and Hon. w. o. vertrees
10Th Of the latter gentlemen being
lassed as independents, and after
much discussion between the gentle
men above stated it was agreed by all
hose present, including w. o. Yer
rees, that they would support Hoop
II for Governor, should he be NOM
nated."
The truth Of the above statement
viii hardly be denied. No one would
eriously question the veracity OF the
Gentlemen named as witnesses.
Comment is hardly necessary. 1t
hows in language plain and unmis-
akable the duplicity and double deal
ng of William o. Vertrees. 1t also
roves how utterly ridiculous are his
laims to being the one and only ST.
non pure Democratic leader in the
tate. His opposition to Sharp's
omination are not hard to under
tand. Sharp had served as internal
evenue collector and had punished
be liquor clients of vertrees who vi
lated the laws of the country.
Here we have vertrees revealed as
8 he really is. His professions Of
eviction to Democracy come only
rom the lips. H is real allegiance is

or interests III Tennessee.

PRETTY WIDOW GETS GEMS.

SAN FRANCISCO, February Is
Mrs. Elizabeth L. BOydstun, the pretty
widow who arrived from the Orient
a month ago only to have her jewelry
seized by Customs Inspector Joseph
Head, can breathe easily,
United States District Attorney Dew
lin, who had been asked by Chief
Clerk Harry Farmer to pass on the
matter, wrote that he had decided that
the aims of justice for all concerned
could be attained by restoring Mrs.
Boydstuns jewelry. Now Mrs. Boyd
stun will simply have to pay duty on
the rings and whatnot and the case
will be closed
Mrs. Boydstun arrived from the
Orient on the 18th of last month. Al
Honolulu, en- route to this city, she
called at the office of Wells-Fargo &
Co, and had her jewelry expressed to
her in this city, The customs officials

to return to this city for several
months it is possible that an arrange
ment may be made by which either
Gen. Hall may be appointed adjutant
general and continued on status of
leave Of absence, with an acting adiu-
tsnt general in actual charge of the
business of the office, or he might
voluntarily retire at once and permit
the regular appointment of another
officer of the adjutant generals de-
partment.
Five Colonies in Line.
In that event the regular appoint
ment undoubtedly would go to either
Col. H. o. S. Heistand, Col. George
Andrews, Col. William A. Simpson,
Col. Henry P. Mccain, now acting adj
jutant general, or Col. James T. Kerr,
who rank in the order named. Col
Heistant, who has been stationed in
the Philippines, is now under orders
to proceed to this city and relieve
Col Mccain, who is ordered to duty
in the Philippines. These orders were
issued before the suspension of Gen.
Ainsworth was ordered.
Col. Mccain will continue to act as
adjutant general certainly until reg
ular appointment is made, and posi-
bly, until the arrival in Washington of
Col. Heistand, about the list of April.
The official status Of the next ad-
iutant general will be unl ike that OF
Gen. Ainsworth, in that his commits
sion would be limited to f0r years as
adjutant general, when he. must serve
in some military department outside
Of Washington for at least two years,
unless in the meantime he retires.
That state of affairs, however, may
be changed altogether by the pending
army appropriation bill, which pro-
vides for merging the adjutant gen.
erals and the inspector generals de-
partments in the general staff CORPS.

TRUCKER SUFFERING AN

SACRAMENTO, February 81
Smallpox has made its appearance in

to the State Board of Health. Three
cases are reported from the mountain
city by the city Health officer there.
The appearance Monday in Sacra-

Gossip Regarding Successor.

The retirement of General Aims
worth has caused considerable gossip
in army circles concerning his prob
able successor as the adjutant general.
The present law provides upon the
retirement of Mai. Gen. Ainsworth, the
officer detailed as the adjutant gen,
eral shall be of the rank of brigadier
general, and that there shall be only
one officer of that rank in the de-
partment of the adjutant general.
That provision would seem to fore
stall the appointment, as adjutant gen.
eral of Brig. Gen. William p. Hall,
the senior officer of the corps, who
is at present on leave of absence, en-
gagged in evangelical work in the south
seas. He is due to retire on account
of age June II next, so that his in
cumbency of the Office, in case of ap'
pointment, would be exceedingly brief
He is a medal of honor man, and will
be advanced on retirement to the
grade of major general.
Because he is not in robust health
and also because he is not expected

Qualities His Statement.

Mr.. Hopkins qualified slightly when
he replied: 81 hope you did not mis-
understand me. l did not say that
the pastor must do all of that work,
but it may be unseen as you have
intimated. l have been wondering
which work of Jesus was the more
permanent and lasting, the teaching
Of the multitudes or the training of
the twelve.
1--WE must have appreciation of the
Bible study work, and in so far as it
is possible we must have close con
nection between the Sunday school
and the church services"
To this Mr. Gray replied:
mo comparison concerning the
work of Jesus personal ministry is at
all apropos to the modern situation,
We are not dealing with conditions a5
they were, but as they are"
Mr.. Hopkins had the last word, how
ever, saying:
81 want to protest against talking
about the Sunday school and the
church-it is all the church-teach-
ing, preaching and prayer service"
Agree on One Proposition.
But the ministers were of one &C
cord in their opposition to the add
ton of more burdens, declaring more
extraneous things constantly are
creeping into the duties the pastors
are expected to perform, so that they
are compelled to literally spread
themselves out thin" to accomplish
the detailed work expected of them
Since scores of recommendation
have been prepared for presentation
to the eliminating conference of the
campaign this afternoon, it is expect
ed the break of the pastors from tht
, role which the specialists would as
sign to them will occur at that time
