Without exception the people to-

Day. Early this morning the tear&
appeared on the streets, in all parts

to find the amount of garbage and
rubbish which had collected and plac--
ed on the sidewalks ready to be dis
posed of. The ten teams, provided
by the Board OF Affairs, are being
kept very busy, and it is doubtful if
all refuse matter is hauled away to-
day.
The Board Of Affairs showed its
interest in the movement by begin
ming work at IL O'Clock last night
Before dawn the streets had been
thoroughly washed, and the greater
part OF the sewers and cutters flush
ed. The work viii be continued until
every part of the city has received
attention.
The work is in charge of City Edgi-
neer Henry Hess, and he is pushing
it very rapidly. AS fast as the refuse
matter is placed on the various city
dumps il is saturated with oil and the
match applied, and II is hoped, ito
have it all burned before Sunday.
The Berkeley Civic League, which
started the movement for a cleaner
city, is lending valuable assistance
to the city officials and will continue
so until the work has been completed.

For Congressman.

WASHINGTON, D. G., April To-
If John w. Davis fails TO get the ap-
pointment as judge Of the United
States Circuit Court for the Fourth
circuit 1t will not be because of any
lack of support Of his West Virginia
friends, for no person In the state has
ever had stronger or more enthusiasts.
tic endorsements than he has for the
place. He is one Democrat on whom
Democrats have had no hesitancy In
uniting. Senator Chiffon long since
gave him endorsement and went in
person TO see the Attorney General in
Mr.. Davis behalf. Yesterday Col
John It. McGraw went to the White
House and urged the President that
he appoint Mr.. Davis to the judgeship.
What ever differences there may be
as TO candidates for appointment to
other offices, there Is no difference OF
opinion among the West Virginia
Democrats as to the QUALIFICATIONS
and fitness of MIR. Davis for the judge
ship and they have united to get him
the place II il is possible.
Col McGraw paid a visit yesterday
TO the Secretary of the Treasury. Mr..
McAdoo, and urged the appointment
Of George w. Johnson. Of Parkersburg
to be collector of internal revenue.
With Senator Chiffon endorsing Sam
Hays for the place and Col. McGraw
endorsing MIR. Johnson. the President
and the Secretary OF the Treasury
may have to hesitate a while before
choosing between the candidates.
Thinks Government Owes States.
Senator Chiffon believes that II the
matter can be adjudicated in court
the United States government will be
found to owe the thirteen original
States and those States created out
Of them many millions of dollars for
land granted to the federal govern
ment by Virginia and afterward sold
by the government. The terms OF
the grant were that the proceeds of
the sale Of any Of the land granted
should be distributed among the
States, but 1t has been the policy OF
the government TO use the proceeds
for general purposes. Senator Chill
ton is OF the opinion that If the mat
ter could be brought into court 1t
would be found that the general gov
eminent owes West Virginia enough
from this source TO pay the States
part of the Virginia debt and he win
endeavor to pass the bill through
Congress al this session.
