the attitude Of the government toward
the Huerta regime.
Smiths allegations brought Demo
cratic senators from their chairs in
indignant protest.
This Is grave charge you make,
cried Senator James, of Kentucky.

licitation of his political friends MIR. Os-
enton let it be known that he would &C.
cept this position if rendered to him. In
response to that announcement large
number of the democrats OF the state rail-
lied to his support, and his appointment
seemed to be foregoue conclusion. He
had the united support of Senator Chill
ton and Col. McGraw. the opposing
forces of democracy in the state. Hewas
also supported enthusiastically 10y all of
the Democratic members of congress in
the state, the state chairman and all of
the congressional committee chairmen
In addition TO this support his candidacy
had the enthusiastic l. 6orst ment of Mr..
William jennings Bryan, with whom he
holds close political and pei sonal rela.
tonship. Indeed. his Candidacy for the
place was SO strongly supported thai
there appeared no doubt that he won d
b. unanimously selected. Unfortunate
ly, however, at the present time, Mr.
Osenton's law partner, Mr.. Koran. is
severely afflicted with rheumatism, and
is practically taken out of the practice OF
the firm Au increased clientage has
made 1t necessary for Mr.. Osenton to
give his time to the affairs of his Law

To Furnish Power Only.

The Virginia Corporation Commits
sion has granted the Winchester and
Washington City Railway Company
permission to change its name to the
Northern Virginia Power Company. and
the change was made this week. All
the present officers, however. will con-
tinue. and all the capitalists of Vir-
ginia, West Virginia. Maryland and the
District of Columbia who have been
stockholders in the past will keep their
holdings.
The change in name was made prin-
cipally, according to President Lewis F
Cooper, of Winchester, on account of
the fact that the company does not in
tend to engage in the electric railway
business but to confine its efforts to
supplying electricity for municipal.
manufacturing and commercial pur-
poses generally in Virginia. Maryland
and West Virginia
1t has been operating very extensively
in these three States, furnishing power
for number of large stone and lime
plants and numerous manufacturing
concerns.
The County Courts of Berkeley and
Morgan counties, West Va, have with
in the past few days granted the COM
pany franchises to build pole lines from
its great water and steam power plants
along the Shenandoah river, at Millville
jefferson county w. Va, to Berkeley
Springs and vicinity, the power to be
supplied to the large sand mines in Nor
gan county and also for municipal and
general purposes in Berkeley Springs.

pany.
