HAD KEYS TO ALLEN CELL.
Found on "Trusty" in the Hillsville
County Jail.

Roanoke, Va, Sept. 25.-But for the
alertness of the guards at the Hills
Vile jail Sunday it is possible that
Sidna Allen nd Wesley Edwards would
have made their escape. When Sidna
Allen was placed in cell, the guards
took every precaution and searched
the other prisoners. When Carroll
county man, serving a term for max
ing moonshine liquor, was searchea'
three wooden keys were found on NM
The detectives tried them on the doors
in the Jail, and found that one oepneo
the door to the cell which Sdna Allen
occupied: another fitted the inside
door to the cell tier, and the third the
outside door of the Jail. The keys
were perfect, and show that the man
who made them is something OF a
skilled mechanic. They are OF oaS
and worked as perfectly as the orig
nal iron keys from which evidently
they were patterned. The prisoner
who made the keys was an old frleno
of Sidna Allen, and it is believed nc
did the work with a view to aiding IN
Aliens escape. He was a "trusty'
and had access to the Jail keys and
had an opportunity to study them ;.
Tho trials of the Aliens so far In
this country have cost $1o,9O7. All
this is paid by the state except aoou'

DEFENDS THE OYSTER.
Gov Mann Wants Governor of Mary
land to Help Him.

Richmond, Va, Sept. 25.-That the
report on pollution of oyster beds In
the, Potomac, published a few days
ago by the Pure Food Bureau in
Washington, is destined to ruin the
oyster industry in Virginia, is the opin
ion of Chairman w. Mcdonald Lee,
of the State Commission on Fisher
les.
The report was the subject of dis
cussion at a meeting of the Commits
sion on Fisheries Monday night, and
Yesterday Governor Mann FASTENED
to the defense of the Virginia oyster.
He wired the Governor of Maryland,
requesting that executive to name a
special commission to meet similar
commission from Virginia in Washing
ton next Monday in order that the joint
commissions might wait on the prop
err authorities to protest against the
condemnation of the oyster beds in
the Maryland and Virginia waters by
federal authorities without sufficient
reason for the condemnation.
The report referred to says that oys-
tiers in the Potomac river are polluted
to distance of, perhaps, 100 miles
below Washington, or to Blackstone's
Island, in Westmoreland county. The
pollution is supposed to come from
the Washington sewerage. The re-
port places the responsibility for ty-
phoid in Washington on the Potomac
oysters.
Commissioner Lee ridicules the re-
port and declares that the people OF
tidewater eat raw oysters the year
round as staple article of diet, yet
the statistics show there is less ty-
phoid in that section, per capita, than
in any other part of the state.
Governor Mann is determined that
the report unfavorable to the Virginia
and Maryland oyster shall be probed
to the bottom.
Governor Goldsborough wired Gov
ernor Mann yesterday, evening that
he concurled in the suggestion, and
had asked the Maryland fishing force
commander and members of the She'll
fish Commission to meet the Virginia
representatives in Washington on
Monday noon at the Willard Hotel.

 neither promote the development of the coal industry nor protect the public from being charged pxhorbitant prices for fuel. The message does not suggest any plan for the development or the coal lands, but asks congress to iav0il the mistakes made in the older portions nf the United States which have resulted in the coal lands passing into the hands of monopolirS which have been oppressive.
 The urgent mead of larger ap- preparations for the purpose of building new wagon roads and trails is enlarged upon. IL is shown that inc moneys for this purpose from revenues in Alaska are totally inadequate tn provide cheaper transportation ln the camps in ih" interior.
 The enactment of laws which Twill permit of thc homrStrading z of public lands by actual settlers at a minimum cost iS also rrc- iommrndcd.
 Appropriations for Lighthouses along the coast are urgently re- Guircd in order that safety may bc afforded the shipping industry and protection of the lives of pas scnErrS Safrguardrd.
 Regarding inc fisheries the message states that fhr present system of permitting the compan- ics engaged in the fishing indus try to offset inc tax by maintain- ing private hatchcries has not proven satisfactory and a change lis urged. Legislation which will permit of the full development of the industry and to provide against waste is recommended. HatchericS under government ownership are recommended.
 President Taft states that in a former message he favored a commission form of government for Alaska, the commission to be appointed by the chief executive. He has not as yet become cOnvin- ced of the advisability of extend ing full territorial powers to Alaska and is in favor of a com mission form as recommended. fle fears the population is too sparse and the natures of the in- dustries too unstable to make an entirely elective form of govern ment desirable at the present time.
