CUSTOMS PLAN TO AID KNOX

Norfolk, Va, April lG.--Collector
of the Port Floyd Hughes in order to
expedite the transfer of Secretary
Knox and his party from the cvruiser
Washington, upon which they are ey-
pected to arrive tomorrow morning
to the yacht upon which they will pro-
coed to Washington, has arranged to
obviate the delay which transfer in
this port would cause by providing
that this shall be made in Chesapeake
Bay.
A boarding customs officer will
leave Norfolk on tug sailing ion
Cape Henry ut one o'clock tomorrow
morning, meet the Washington
at the Cape, inspect the baggage OF
the Knox party, and "pass" it, so that
the transfer may be affected in the
open waters, if this shall not prove in
practicable because Of weather dis
turbanceS.
Were the Washington to come into
inner waters for the transfer, there
would be delay of some three OF
four hours consumed by the cruiser
steaming in from the Capes and the
yacht steaming out to the bay on her
voyage for Washington via the Chcsa
peake and the Potomac.

WANT CHANGE OF VENUE
Prosecution Will Ask That Scene of
Allen Trial Be Moved-Must
Produce Proof.

Richmond, Va, April l6.-It is now
generally accepted that when the Cir
cult Court of Carroll county meets at
Hillsville next Tuesday, the attorneys
for the prosecution in the Allen cases
will ask for a change of venue in all
the cases-presumably to Wytheville.
Whether or not it will be granted is
another matter.
From informed sources in Richmond
it is learned that there has probably
been a confusion Of ideas as between
a change of venue and change Of
venire. The former is change in
the scene Of trial; the latter the en-
panneling Of jury from another coun
ty or city. The trials could be heard
in Carroll by jury drawn from Roam
oke. Therefore the argument regard
ing the. difficulty Of securing jury
in Carroll not symnathiZers with the
Aliens or the murdered court officials,
has nothing to do with the change OF
venue.
Must Have Proof.
A case which is taken as a criterion
in Virginia was decided to the effect
that when the commonwealth asks for
a change of venire, it is necessary for
il to produce proof to the effect that
an impartial jury cannot cannot be
secured at the scene of the crime. 1t
is argued that the same rule OF law
would apply in an application for a
change of venue-that mere motion
on the part of the commonwealth, with
out sworn evidence, would be insult
fient.
Judge Staples will take the motion
for change of venue under immedl-
ate consideration and decide it.
A peculiar fact is that for perhaps
the first time in Virginia, it is unneces
sary for a jury to be taken from the
court room to view the scene of the
crime. Every detail of the tragedy
can be pointed out in Hillsville to the
jurors who need not leave their seats.

Hon. j. M. Woods For Judge.

The Democratic judicial convention for
the eighteenth district, comprising the
counties OF Jefferson, Berkeley and Nor
gan. met in Martlnsburg on Tuesday,
when Hon. ]. M. Woods, OF that city,
was nominated for Judge OF the circuit
courts by reclamation. James M. Mason,
IT,, OF Charles Town, was chairman OF
the convention, and in an eloquent speech
announced the purpose OF the conVen-
tion. A. c. Nadenbousch, OF Berkeley
county, placed Mr.. Woods in nomination,
and the nomination was seconded by
Forrest w. Brown, of Jefferson county,
and A. c. McIntire, Of Morgan county,
all OF them making appropriate speeches.
There being no opposition to Mr.. Woods,
he was thereupon nominated by acclama-
ton. Being escorted TO the platform, he
made brief address appreciative OF the
honor bestowed upon him. The con-
ventlon passed resolutions euloglzlng
Judge E. Boyd Faulkner, who for twenty
years has so ably presided as judge OF
this circuit, and expressing the high es-
TEEN in which he is held by the people.
Iohn Mitchell Woods, who will be
elected Judge with little or no opposl-
ton, is a son OF Rev. DR.. F. M. Woods,
pastor of the Presbyterian Church OF
Martinsburg, and is 43 years of age. He
is graduate of Washington and Lee I'm
iversity, and has practiced law in this
section for the past twenty years. He is
an able lawyer and man CT the highest
standing, and his selection for this high
office is approved by the members OF the
bar of the three counties and by the peo-
pie generally. He will be a just and up
right Judge who will preserve the ermlne
unsullied.
The convention named the following
judicial executive committee:
Berkeley County-John T. Morrison,
Wade c. Kilmer, Alexander Parks.
Jefferson County,. T. Moler, W. T.
Dittmeyer, c. N. Campbell.
Morgan County,. A. Phillips, Earl
Nixon, A. c. Unger.

1t is the sincere hope of the people OF
MartinSburg, both those who are claSSeo
as wet and those who are ClaSSed as dry,
that no licenses will be granted to men
who have shown by their conduct under
the dry regime that they could not be
trusted to obey the law. Only men who
the council have every reason TO believe
will run decent, clean places where the
disagreeable features OF the saloons will
not be tolerated, men who will not sell
LIQUOR to those who are intoxicated and
Will not harbor the habitual DRINKS; men
who will not permit the loaflng OF lot
of curSing, drunken men IN front OF their
places in short, men who will conduct
their bars as place OF business and not
as Joint such as some OF the saloons OF
the former regime were should be granted
license.-MartinSbng Journal.
THIS Utopian dream OF the Journal will
never be realized-it cannot be. Saloons
cannot, because of the stuff they sell, be
run as clean, decent places without dis
agreeable features. No saloon-keeper
can make living at the business unless
he sells in violation of the law-that is, to
the DRINKS and those who are intoxicated.
Once in a while someone does make an
effort, doubtless, to run respectable,
orderly place, but they all wind up the
same way and become nuisance and a
curse to the community. From the very
nature of the thing, it must be an inevita-
BILE, unmitigated evil.
The only good saloon is no saloon at

The primary election in New Jersey on
Tuesday gave President Taft his custo-
mary defeat, his enemy, Theodore Roose-
welt, winning the delegates by large
majority. The humiliation of the Presi-
dent.Who has fought so vainly to win pop
ular approval, seems now complete and
his rejection by the Chicago convention
inevitable. Ii is pathetic TO see the Presi-
dent lose State after State, and the more
earnestly he has appealed to the voters,
the less votes he gets. We do not see
how he can possibly be nominated now,
for even his closest friends must realize
that he has no standing with the people.
If his own party repudiates him. what
would the result be when the Democrats
also have chance to express them
selves
Truly the Presidents last political days
are full of trouble, all the more bitter be-
cause of the betrayal by his old friend
Roosevelt.
