Mexican Law Forbids Sending of Troops
OFF Home Soil.

Washington, Feb. l4.-The Mexican
government has withdrawn its request
to send Mexican federal soldiers through
American territory from Eagle pass to
III Paso, Tex.
1t appears that some law has been
brought to light which prohibits the
sending of troops out of Mexico without
permission of Congress. Apparently this
statute was unknown during the Madero
revolution or was ignored.

Communicated.

Dear Register-A communication OF
rather an unusual character appeared
recently in your columns, viz, a strong
disavowal on the part OF DR.. J. y. Knott
OF any guilt in connection with the mat
ter with which certain representatives OF
the Southern Methodist church charged
him. His utterances are unmiStakabie IN
their denial of the things charged. He
defends himself fearlessly.
Since this article appeared, a "brief
of the case, signed by DR.. J. A. Kern, his
counsel and one of the strongest men in
the M. E. Church, South, has been read
by some close friends of DR.. Knott, and
all who have seen that "brief' (Which
fully sets forth the entire affair, are OF
one mind as to the injustice OF the verdict
and the sentence which our fellow-towns-
man has been forced to endure.
II is now understood that the only judge
on the Appeals Committee, who it, as a
Judge in civil matters, supposedly con-
versant with the law both in spirit and in
letter, has written a strong dissenting
opinion" against the majority opinion OF
the other members of that committee.
The verdict of the Trial Committee was
euuiyocal. He was charged with spe-
cific thing, but the verdict lodges the
issue and recognizes that the case was
not Technically" sustained. Doubt how
ers over the Trial Committees verdict,
and doubt fingers about the Appeals
Committees findings. Yet so far as we
are able TO learn the man accused was in
no case given the benefit of the doubt
The "brief' makes clear that the serious
charge in the whole affair he absolutely
diSproved.
In the light of the above we submit
That as this man has been known to us
all from his boyhood as absolutely above
even the suggestion of anything unworthy
"a man of exceptional purity and integ-
rity-and as those who had the matter OF
Judging him in his supposed shortcom-
ings were hardly in position to know him
as we do who have been reared with
him; and in consideration OF the strong
and influential Methodist constituency in
this neighborhood that feel this humilla-
ton most keenly-we appeal to the men
who have influence in the Baltimore con-
ference, to set right an obvious wrong
done both minister and man whose
name and reputation has been to this
community something in which they have
taken peculiar pride.
This is not written in any sense to re-
buke the church authorities, but to insist
that now as the honor OF the church has
been fully vindicated, and as so much
doubt exists as to the SubStantialneSS OF
the charges made, that Christian feeling
should rule in church authority and the
man should be restored TO his former po-
sition, at least so far as removing any
stain upon his honor is concerned.
Very truly yours,

Judge Bennett Resigns.

William r. Bennett, of Fayetteville,
Judge of the Fayette Circuit Court, against
whom charges were recently filed and on
account of whom Governor GlaSScock
was asked to call special session of the
Legislature to impeach the jurist, Monday
handed to Governor Glasscock his res
ignation, and it was at once accepted.
In his letter OF resignation Bennett
said:
81 do not do so in consequence OF any
feeling, even the slightest, that | have
been guilty of misconduct in office. My
only reason for taking this course is that
the office of Judge is of such high char
atter that do not believe it is fair to the
State, your administration or the people
of my circuit to embarasS you or them,
even momentarily, by continuation in
office OF myself while under suspicion.
"a Judge above suspician from any
source, even the most uutrustworthy,
should fill the office until can demon
strate the falsity of these charges, which
will certainly do without loss of time. "

NOTES FROM NEARBY.

Il is understood that the people oil
Berkeley Springs are very well satisfied
with the offer OF a Washington firm to
take charge of the celebrated springs oil
that place and erect $4,000 hotel.
However, in exchange for rights and
privileges at the springs the capitalists
are TO make extensive Improvements and
the town and Stale will also retain cer-
tain privileges. Berkeley Springs be-
lieves itself to be on the threshold OF q
wonderful era OF progress.
The barn at the west end OF Gerrards-
town, on the farm OF Mr.. George M. Bow
ers. u. S. Fish Commissioner, was struck
by lightning during the heavy shower
and the barn granary, the seasons crop
of wheat and hay. together with a horse
two mules and some farm implements
were consumed. The loss is estlmaed al
at g, 500, at least. The building was!ln-
sured, but none carried on the contents.
MIR. Arthur Akin lives on the place, the
farm containing about $50 acres.
Wilbur A. Dixon, of Martinsburg, who
il is alleged was struck over the head
with a rifle by "Chick" Edmunds Friday
afternoon of last week, and who had
been in an unconscious condition at the
Kings Daughters, hospital in that city,
ever since. died at that institution Thurs
day afternoon. Dixon never regained
consciousness, dying without recognlz-
ing any of his relatives or friends. Ed
munds is under arrest and the officials
will not give any particulars OF the affair.
Abram Bishop, the alleged wealthy
farmer and orchardist of Hancock, Nd,
who received 40 answers to an adVer-
tisement fot wife and who this week
SAYS he had finally decided to marry Mrs.
Elizabeth Kalousdian Of, Watertown,
Massachusetts, is declared to be hum
bug by Mrs. Kalousdian's brother, M.
Harrison Chambers, a Baltimore lawyer.
Mrs. Kalousdian was only iesting when
she wrote to Bishop that she would mar
ry him. Chambers says further that in
stead of being wealthy, Bishop is the
caretaker and janitor for the Woodmont
Rod and Gun Club at Hancock, and has
no property. Photographs OF both Bishop
and his expected bride have been pub
lished in all sections OF the country.
As Mr.. John Timmons and party were
returning in an automobile from fishing
trip to Falling Waters Tuesday evening
the machine collided with young man
on horseback going in the opposite di-
rection near the new tollgate north OF
town. The horse was owned by Mr..
James Porterfield, northwest OF Martins
burg, and was being ridden by young
man. AS the auto approached, the horse
SHE'D, and instead OF getting out OF the
way of the machine he did the very OPP
posite. The result was that the machine
struck the horse on the hind leg and
broke it, the impact at the same time
breaking the fender of the auto and bend
ing the front axle. The horse was after
wards shot to put him out OF misery.

Serious Auto Accident

What was a serious accident and what
might have been fatal one occurred about
four O'Clock Saturday afternoon between
Half Way and Hagerstown. AS result,
Mr.. Charles c. Fry has broken callar
bone, his Tar badly torn and numerous
bruises about the head and body; Mr..
Otis Miller was in the hospital in HagerS-
town until coming home Saturday after
noon suffering with many bruises but
John Miller although uniniured was bad
ly shaken up andTemained with his broth
er Saturday night; and Mr.. Wesley Kitch-
en- who returned to MartinSburg with Mr..
Frye is badly bruised about the legs and
shoulders and spent Saturday night with
relatives.
1t seems that Mr.. Frye, who manages
the Clohan orchard near Tomahawk, took
Kitchen and the two Miller boys, all Of
whom work under Mr.. Frye, for trip to
Hagerstown in his Ford automobile. The
going was made without mishap but on
the return trip, when about half a mile
out of Hagerstown, they passed Craw-
ford automobile driven by colored
chauffer and carrying two men in the rear
seat. They had no more rhan passed
the big Car when il took out after them
and overlook them in about mile where
il attempted to pass Mr.. Frye but instead
OF going around clear around him, the big
car struck the rear OF MIR. Frye's car tear
ing off one of the wheels and turning his
car over into the ditch where it stopped
after sliding on its side for nearly hum
dred feet. The big Car continued on its
way without stopping to see what had
happened to the occupants of the wreck
ed car, all of whom escaped death only
by miracle. The injured party was TAX
en- to town and after receiving medical
attention, Mr.. Frye and Mr.. Kitchen re-
turned home. MIR. Frye drove over to
his home Sunday night.
Although Mr.. Frye will not divulge the
names of those driving the other auto, he
states that he knows the parties as well as
the owner of the car and that he will pro-
coed against them with suit for DANA
geS.

corporations of the county was appor-
toned among the various districts. The
main line OF the B. & o. Railroad was as
sessed at S764, 1897, a decrease from
that of last year of more than 500, 900.
No important changes were made in the
valuation Of other public service corpor-
atoms as compared with last years as
seSsment.
Another important action of the term
was the levying of taxes for the current
year. For roads the levy in Charles
Town, Middleway ane Shepherdstown
Districts was fixed at sixteen and two
thirds cents, while in Harper's Ferry and
Kabletown Districts, # was fixed at
twelve and half cents on each hundred
dollars of valuation. The county levy

TuE redoubtable Col. Roosevelt h

THE redoubtable Col. Roosevelt has
come to the conclusion, he says, that
President Taft is not in the running and
that IT is not worth while to discuss him
in the campaign. Hewill, therefore, con-
centrate his attacks upon Governor Wood
row Wilson and endeavor to annihilate
him. We think that the Colonel is right
about the President being trifling oppo-
nent, but when he attempts to rush Gov
ernor Wilson it will be no San Juan affair.
The keen rapier of wit and common sense
welded by the Governor will make the
big stick of the Rough Rider a clumsy
and Intellectual weapon.

This is absolutely true, for he was NOM

WE voice the sentiment of a great many

We voice the sentiment OF Ia great many
personal friends OF Congressman John
Lamb, of Virginia, in this town and coun-
ty, in expressing the sincereSt regret that
he has been defeated for denomination.
We had hoped that this genial, lovable
Confederate veteran and Virginia gentle
man would be returned to Congress,
where he has served so faithfully as long
as he lived or until he voluntarily relin-
pushed the office he has honored. But
the spirit Of the progresSiveS in Virginia
has become so strong that the first sacri-
flee to its cause is the greatest that could
have been made, and Captain Lamb, the
conservative. loved though he was and
is, is offered up on the altar OF the new
political spirit that is sweeping through
the Old Dominion. That he will be sue
ceeded by so able man as former Gov
ernor Montague is some compensation,
though we confess that in this case we
would rather have seen the sacrifice OF
principle than the sacrifice OF so gallant a
gentleman as Captain Lamb.
We believe if Jefferson county had
been in Captain Lambs district the result
would have been different.
