West Virginia has long been noted
as the finest cattle raising State IN the
Union. Her beef is used on tia tables
of royalty and the famous cattle Of
the Greenbrier diatsict are known the

their lumber, greater area of graz

care for ten times this number OF

MATRIMONIAL SEA
 ENTERED BLINOLY
NOW HENRY WALKER WANTS 4 DIVORCE, CHARGING HIS WIFE
 NEGLECTED HIM.
Married April 1, Year Ago He Claims to Have Suffered Much Neglect
 in the Interval.

The matrimonial sea was entered on blindly, according to suit for oi- vorce filed in chancey court yes terday by Henry Walker, who claims in substance that pre.nuptial prom ises have all gone wrong. and asks di- yorce from Mamie Walker, his wife, who incidentally. has left him.
 Under the text of the bill. it is set up that Henry Walker was blind, but that before he was married he was promised by his brde.to-be that she would come and live with him and take care of him and help admins ter to his infirmities
 Walker claims that it was but a short time after the marriage thet she showed different disposition tc him, that she would not feed him or help him about the house. but would leave early and stay away late. and that during the late winter season he suffered much from cold and neglect because of her absence
 Walker being blind. could not take care of himself, and therefore claims to have suffered from hunger and cold and other neglects and now asks full and complete restorement through the divorce court to the title of an unmar ried person.

BOTH FACTIONS
 OF REPUBLICANS
LEAVE THIS MORNING TO CARRY THEIR FIGHT TO THE STATE
 CONVENTION TODAY.
Unless There Are Two State conven tions Held at Little Rock, the Reg
 uIars Only Will Be Seated.

The local republican factional fight, as between the regular organization representatives, and the insurgents us der the banner of Theodore Roosevelt. will leave this morning for Little Rock, where they carry their fight to the state convention.
 Under instructions from the Roose- welt campaign headquarters, the re- publicans here as in several other counties, sent delegates to the conven- ton at Little Rock from trump county conventions.
 This means there will be an effort made at Little Rock today to hold an independent state republican con- vention, which will carry the Roose- welt insurgent fight to the national convention to be held at Chicago.
 The delegates to the state conven- tion who leave today to represent the regulars from this county are Captain c. N. Rix, Dr DeCosta Wa k CT, Fred E. Johnson. Ed Burroughs, Ed Prichard, J, T. T. Warren and Jack Page
 The delegates from the insurgent convention are Gus Strauss. Charles c. Sparks, $. E. Cassell and Ed II. Johnson.
 One of the most important actions of the state convention is the select ing of four delegates at large to the national convention, the district dele gations being left to the districts The four delegates at large will rep resent the big men of the party, and it is stated that c. N. Rix of this city is slated by the state organization as one of them.

PREsSMEN's STRIKE,
Newspapers Give Out a Hopeful View
 of Situation.

Chicago. May 6,-Comparatively lit- tie trouble resulted today from the dispute between the newspaper puo- fishers and the pressmen, stereotyp- CTS and newsboys and tonight the pc lice said they believed normal coudi- tions soon would be restored About 20 arrests were made today
 Publishers tonight said the vacant places in the ranks of their workmen were being filled rapidly and that the most serious problem they now faced was the distribution of papers More papers were circulated down town today, however. than on any day since the pressmen quit work
 Unlicensed newspaper vendors were put out of business as fast as they were discovered. Hundreds of papers were confiscated.
 Morning newspapers tomorrow will carry a statement addressed to the public and representing a review of the trouble. The statement explains that the dispute arose over the in- sistence of the union that more men be em mployed on presses in the Exam iner office than were worked ol presses Of the same or similar kind in other Chicago offices.

New Phase in the Efforts OF
Chicago Papers to Get
Out Editions.

CHICAGO, May 1.-The strike of news
paper pressmen. sterotypers, newsboys
and wagon drivers took a new turn
today when President James ]. Freel,
OF the Sterotypers International Union,
came to Chicago and ordered the men
In his union to return to work. The
walk-out of the stereotypers, Freel as
serted. was illegal. They had, ne said,
violated their contract and he ordered
them by telegraph and long distance
telephone from Newark, N. j., to re-
turn to work. When they refused,
Freel, with other international officers
hurried to Chicago. Today he planned
to meet the officers of the striking
local here and order them back to work
the most serious phase of the strike
To-Day is the newsboys walkout The
distribution of papers is still greatly

GREEK CONVICTED
ON SONS CHARGE
Of NON.SUPPORT
Victory Sets Precedent and
Is Regarded as
Significant.

Indicted on q charge OF non-support
Of his wife and child. Nicholas Davis,
a Greek, who was brought back from
fore Justice Barnard In Criminal Court
No. 2, on the second count, that of not
supporting his child.
Assistant United States Attorney s.
McComas Hawken dismissed the first
count relative to Mrs. Davis, after
hearing testimony to the effect that the
defendant had offered to provide a
good home for her In Florida and she
had refused to leave Washington. How
ever the prosecutor insisted that Davis
should be made to support his child, a
four-year-old boy, and the jury. took the
same view. .n
There are more than 200 indictments
against husbands now pending in the
District Supreme Court and the con-
yiction OF Davis establishes prece'
dent, AS yet no convictions having beer
obtained. Last week a jury disagreed
tifcation for the husband deserting his
wife having been shown. The question
Of justification Is the one on which the
cases turn before jury.
For several months the authorities
have been anxious to solve the prob
and children. The Juvenile Court ha:
sent a number of men to the work
house, but after one conviction, the
husbands have usually fed the juris
diction OF the court, so the victory o
Prosecutor Hawken is all the more sig
nificant.
II is expected that Davis will be re
| auired to furnish bond to support hi
| child The only redress Mrs. Davi
/, now has is the divorce courts.

The fight over the amendments occu.
pied the Senate three hours. The voting

The opponents of the bill tried to assai

pensation for the accident or death oi

The debate yesterday afternoon wa!

of the BILL" replied Ashurst, referring

COMMITTEE FAILS
TO GET INFORMATION
Private Messages From Carpathia
Not Located BY Senator
Smith.

A startling development of the IT,
tanic probe by the Senate subcommit-
tee Is that thus far Senator Smith has
had little success In locating private
messages which were sent from the
Carpathia on the Monday Of the dis
aster and before the vessel reached the
docks.
The Importance Of this is seen. when
Il Is recalled that the defense Of the
Marconi people, including Wireless
Operator Gotham, of the Carpathia, as
to why news had been suppressed, was
that the wireless apparatus of the Car
pathia was busy sending out private
messages.
This defense led Senator Smith to &c
on a hunt for these private messages
He has been unsuccessful In locating
them
Unless It can be distinctly shown thai
there was a large volume OF private
messages. II Is apparently put up &c
Operator Cottam and the Marconi peo
pie harder than ever to show why the
delay in sending news occurred.
