Norfolk. Va. September 1l.-Accord-
ing to authentic information received
by local paper, DIR. John w Bow
dom, of BloNom. Accomac County, will
be candidate for appointment as
Commissioner OF Fisheries OF Virginia
the position held by w. Mcdonald Lee,
CT IrVington since 1906.
DR.. Bowdoin will not announce his
elections. Two candidates are already
out for this otfice-Mr. Lee, the incum-
bent, and w. l.. Lawson. of Hampton.
DR.. Bowdoin has had long experience
i'll fisheries administration, having
served many years as chairman OF the
Board OF Fisheries) prior to the reor-
ganization of the department. when the
chairman OF the board performed the
duties now attaching to the office OF
Commissioners of Fisheries. He was the
first chairman OF the first board estab-
lishcd following the States adoption
or q definite policy for the conscrva-
ton OF its fishery resources more than
I, quarter OF . century ago. Later DR..
Frank Fletcher OF Accomac, succeeded
HIM. but at the end of DR. Flctchcr's
term DR.. Bowdoin was reappointcd, and
continued in Office until 1905. In that
year Mr.. Lee went into the office as
the appointee of Governor Swanson.
The department WAS rcorgani2cd dur
ing Mr.. Lees first term, with the cstab-
lishment of the office of commissioner,
and an Increase Of the salary OF $4,000
year.
1t is runoreG among friends of Henry
stuart, Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor, that the next chief executive will
not reappoint Mr.. Lee. In statement
few weeks ago Mr.. Stuart made ii
Ilain that this report had not ema-
mated from any promise he had made
concerning the office. as he had made
none, and IL is regarded as having orig
mated probably from the fact that
just before Mr.. Stuart's withdrawal
from the gubernatorial race in 1903 he
told some of his friends that if elected
Governor he would not reappoint Com
missioner Lee.

conclusions. professed disappointment
when Union Pacific directors failed to
take any action on the proposed cash
distribution ut yesterdays meeting
Not that there was the slightest cx-
cuse for believing that the matter
would be decided at this time In fact.
weil-infiuenced bankers had been care
full to assure customers that action
was not expected on this important
subject until n later date. 1t has been
well known that Union Pacific money
has been freely invested in short-term
obligations maturing within the next
sixty and ninety days. This OF itself
would be an Indication that the mat
ter was at least some months away
The statement of Chairman Loyett
that funds received from the sale of
Southern Pacific would not be tied up
in Investments for any great length
of time," covers the ground thorough
Is.
Activity Due to Shorts.
o-day's market confirms the i'm
preston that the burst of activity on
Wednesday was largely due to short
covering. Commission houses con-
fcsscd disappointment that the public
inquiry for stocks had not noticeably
increased. and London, which expected

Southern Pacific. which advanced
from 81 ga to 90 SIS. when the rest of
the market was rcactionary.
Chemical stocks advanced sharply on

points on sales of more than 5000
shares.

No change was recorded In the
money market here, but n slight and
easier tone was noted in international
paper.
Until some disposal is made Of the
surplus cash in the treasury of the
Union Pacific the subject will be
viewed optimistically alike by stock

Vicious Newspaper Attack.

London. Nov 22-Under the head ing "A Money Grubber's War" the Outlook today publishes a bitter ar. ticle on the Mexican situation.
 Across the Atlantic" the Outlook says, there is in busy preparation, if certain forces can accomplish 1t, a crime against civilization, against humanity At any moment we may hear of it's first overt stages, with inevitably the ensuing slaughter of tens of thousands of young Americans and half armed peasants, the deyas- tation of humble towns and rude countryside the sufferings of the helpless and the innocent and the out pouring of millions of money.
 And all for what or for whom Wars have been waged for military ambition. but who is the Napoleon oi the United States? They have been due to colonial expansion, but half the states are sparsely peopled and They have fought for liberty-and what wars have We seen lately she tering under this claim.
 But there is no pretense of this or of any of the historic reasons here. A war between the United States and Mexico, if it arises, will be the first war waged solely for private greed the first money grubber's war. "
 After saving that the United States have been filching territory from their neighbors for 60 years and have reduced weak states to obsequies de pendents through she Monroe doe urine, which means anything it is required to mean" the outlook pre-. diets that American dollars will ere ate revolutions in Trinidad and Ja, maica as it alleged they did in Pan anna, and predicts the annexation of the northern Mexican states.
 If the guides of American opin- ion, among whom we refrain from mentioning Dr. Wilson" the article says in conclusion, get their way, in a few weeks, perhaps days, Jim Smith of Virginia will be cutting the threat of Leon Raemires of Morelos in the sacred name of the oil trusts and the bank of Wall Street hyenas.
