circumstances of postmastership connec-
indicate that the West Virginia repLbli-

Candidates for local Offices and state
Offices would like to get the solid repub-
lican vote by getting the Roosevelt
party's Endorsement. With this, of
course, they want their names on the
new party ballot The combined repub-

Names the State Chairman.

Ex-Gov. Dawson slipped quietly into
Parkersburg the day the committee met.
and the committee allowed DIR. Hatfield.
the gubernatorial candidate. to go out
side the committee to name the state
chairman. This was done by resolution.
and DR. Hatfield selected James S.
L;ikin. president of the state board of
control. one of Dawsons former and
probably present intimate political as
sociates.
AT any rate. IL is believed in we'll in
formed circles that I-akins selection
followed the Dawson visit, and that
there is some understanding by which
the state committee will take certain
tolerant view of the Roosevelt bolt and
.ook with approval on Endorsement OF
the state and county tickets by the
convention next Tuesday. OF course,
this Is all guesswork. but the situation
suggests IL.
Ii looks like there was some sort of
a deal put through, because the state
committee. which is a pro-Taft body.
did not live mp 10 the previous vociferous
utterances of Taft leaders that they
would force each elector to show his
hand and every candidate to declare
ne would not accept Endorsement on the
third party column. The lamb-like lay
DOWN meant something.

Hesitate About Boiling.

No matter what the anti-Taft republl-
can leaders figure on doing elsewhere
the brethren in West Virginia hesitate
about boiling their party entirely. They
are willing to join in a movement to beat
Taft and welcome the prospect of voting
for Roosevelt as their agency rather
than having to vote for Wilson. but they
DO not want to cut loose from the repub-
lican party. because they figure West Nr-
ginia is normally Il republican state and
they expect 10 fill some OF the leading
offices with republican connections
Gov. Glasscock's statement was drawn
with the utmost caution. and il made the
technical point that Taft was not recog-
nized by him as the legal republican
nominee, and that there was nobody In
authority to read him out of the party
for refusing TO give Taft his support
That Glasscock Is not ready to affiliate
with new party was indicated clearly
in those passages in his statement where
in he predicted the calamity that would
follow TO the republican organization
should the democrats capture the state.
He specified the dangers TO follow a re-
districting of the state by the democrats,
an implied disfranchisement OF negro
voters and q general nussng up OF the
present tax system.
Gov Glasscock simply said as a Tepub-
lican that he could not support Taft. but
that he and all republicans should vote
the republican ticket otherwise. Hence.
the outlook for the organization of a
third party in this state next Tuesday
II not bright. but this does not mean it

Norwalk, O., Oct. 24.-Six me1
we're arrested to-day at West Clarks-

Probers to Meet.

Spartanburg, Oct. 26.-State Sen
ator Howard B. Carlisle, chairman OF
the legislative committee named to
probe into the affairs of the old State
dispensary, to-day announced that
he had called a meeting of the COM
mittee to be held in Columbia on
Thursday, October 81. AS yet, how
ever, no witnesses have been sum-
moned and it is impossible to state
at this time what testimony, if any,
will be heard.
This is a continuation of the in
vestigation that brought forth such
startling revelations prior to the elec-
ton in this State on August 27. Tes-
timony, it is recalled, was introduced
by detectives from the Burns agency.
Whether or not the detectives have
again been at work in this State IN
efforts to secure evidence cannot be
stated at this time, although it is not
thought that they have. The commit
tee has employed no detectives.
This may be the last meeting of
the committee, Mr.. Carlisle to-day
stated before the meeting Of the gen
eral assembly, at which time all OF
the evidence will be presented.

POLICE DISCOVER NO MOTIVE.
Drunk When He Killed Wife, Says
Bridgeport Man.

Bridgeport, Conn, Oct.23.-After
day of investigation, the police say
they were unable definitely to fix the
motive for which Rose Sunnis, of
Bridgeport, lately of Chicago, was
shot to death last night, by Joe Bun
ace, near Putney cemetery.
Bunace, who is known as "Chica-
go Joe," it is said, has confessed to
killing the woman, his common-law
wife, giving as an explanation that
he was drunk and did not know
what he was doing. The police, how
ever, still cling to the theory that
the woman, who a character in the
Bridgeport underworld, was killed
because she had revealed the inner
workings of the white slave traffic in
Chicago.
Bunace, together with Joseph Mat
tio, and Frank Pizzi Enni, who were
arrested last night after the shoot
ing, are being held pending hear
ing Saturday. No trace has been
found of the other men in the party,
who disappeared after the killing.

Woman Acquitted.

Gaffney, Oct. 24.-In the court OF
general sessions in this city yesterday
Mrs. Frances Sarratt, a white wo-
man of this county, was tried, charg-
ed with the murder of a negro in
fant and the jury returned a verdict
of not guilty. The occurrence took
place about a year ago. 1t is alleged
that Mrs. Sarratt was lying in wait
for a negro woman to come by, and
when she made her appearance Mrs.
Sarratt fired shot from a gun at
her. The negro woman had an in
fant in her arms, and instead Of be-
ing killed herself the entire load
took effect in the body of the infant.
killing it almost instantly. The de-
fense in the trial yesterday was a
plea of temporary insanity. The pre-
siding judge, Frank B. Gary, paid
Col. T. B. Butler, a member of the
local bar, a high compliment when
he said that the attorneys effort in
his argument for the defense was one
of the most mastery that he ever
heard in the court room.
In the case of Mac Byars, a white
man, who was indicted as an alleged
accessory, the judge directed a ver-
dict of not guilty.

Chicago May License Vice.

Chicago, Oct 24.-William H.
Pacton, corporation counsel of Chi
cago, to-day made public an opinion
prepared for the vice committee OF
the city council, in which he out
lined plans by which the segregated
vice district may be restored under
official sanction, giving immunity so
far as the city is concerned, to vio-
latots of State laws within those dis
tricts.
In brief, the plan is that the city
pass ordinances providing penalties
in addition to the State laws for con-
Quoting disorderly places in all sec
tions of the city except the spots Sc
lected for segregation. The tacit un-
derstanding is that in these districts
the city has given the exemption vice
will be permitted to flourish to GER
tain extent.
The opinion explains that the city
is powerless to pass ordinances sane
tioning segregated districts in con-
flict with the State laws, but suggests
that the State legislature may amend
the statutes to give the city discre-
ton to do so, and even provide that
local referendum be taken on the
question.

Woman on Rmapage.

Fremont, Neb., Oct. 23.-Mrs.
William B. Marshall, well known
Fremont woman, who is owner of
half a dozen or more houses, follow
ing a quarrel with her neighbor, Mrs.
Frank Peterson, turned a garden
hose on Mrs. Peterson and then,
thrusting the nozzle through the win
dow, saturated four rooms of the
house with water, causing damage
estimated at 500.
Mrs. Marshall herself owns the
place.
A crowd soon gathered, but under
Mrs. Marshalls threats stood back.
Finally Policeman McDermott ar
rived on the scene and took Mrs.
Marshall to the county jail. Her hus-
band, a we'll known business man,
was notified at Norfolk, where he
had gone on a business trip. He
hurried back to Fremont, announced
that he would settle the damsg ge
and that the family would look af-
ter Mrs. Marshall.
Mrs. Marshall for years has been
a member of the First Congregation
al church. The family occupies a
large house in an exclusive part
of the |city. Mrs. Marshall recently
has been given to violent outbursts.
Several weeks az she attacked an
other well known Fremont woman in
the street and a lively fight ensued.
Out of consideration for the stand
ing of the families every effort was
made to suppress the facts of the
affair.

Car Strike at Columbia Settled.

Columbia, Oct. 25.-The strike OF
the motormen and conductors of the
Columbia Street Railway was ended
here this afternoon, when represen-
tatives of the striking carmen and
the officials of the street railway
signed an agreement satisfactory to
both sides and the strike was declar-
ed off. The street cars will resume
their regular schedules in the morn
ing.
1t was largely the work of W. G.
Howard, of Cleveland, Ohio, repre-
sentative of the Peerless Automobile
Company, of that city, that the initial
steps were taken which brought the
warning factions together and ended
the strike. Mr.. Howard used his
good offices, brought the two sides
together and with the result that an
amicable arrangement was entered
into and the troubles ended. No
statement has been made as to the
terms of the agreement, except in the
statement of Mr.. H. J. Hardy, who
had charge of the strike, that the
agreement runs to January 1, 1918,
precluding possibility of another
strike before that time.
1t is reported unofacially that the
arbitration clause was knocked out
and that the agreement was made
with the local Union, $50.
