upshur county will give its normal
Republican plurality this year" is the
prediction Of G. X. McCally. OF Buck
harmon, who stopped on here on his
way home from the east to confer
with Congressman s II. Avis. Mr.
McCally Is a member OF the Congress
sional committee in the Third district.
"Upshur will 20 ] 500 to 700 for
the Republican ticket" continued Mr..
McCally. There will not be TO ex-
coed 30 votes cast for the third party
ticket There IL no sentiment for the
third party business in Upshur county.
There Is harmony among the Repub-
leans. no sore spots TO do damage.
and there are not few leading Demo
Gratis who are dissatisfied with the ad-
ministration who say they will vote
with us. These men will especially be
glad to cast their votes for Congress
man Avis
Captain Avis will no doubt lead the
ticket In Upshur His record as a
Congressman has added 10 his strength
and popularity with the people OF not
only my county. but other counties OF
the district. His course certainly has
given the greatest satisfaction. and
there Is no kick on him anywhere
from Republicans. but unanimous an
prevail Of him. ] do not think there
Is chance Of Captain Avis not being
reelected. That sentiment seems to
be general throughout the district.

ASSAIL WHITMAN
AS SECOND TRIAL
Of BECKER OPENS

NEW YORK. May 6.-The second
trial of ex-Police Lieutenant Charles
Becker for the murder OF Herman
Rosenthal opened today with an at
tack by the defense upon District At
torney Whitman. Bourke Cochran,
counsel for Becker. moved before
Justice Seabury that District Attorney
Whitman be adjudged in contempt Of
court
This motion was based upon the
contention that the district attorney
had made public statements prejudi-
cial to the interests Of the defendant.
Mr.. Cochran also made a motion for
a change of venue on the ground that
Becker could not get sair trial in
New York county.
Justice Seabury said that he would
listen to formal motions from the de-
fense this afternoon. Then he direct
ed that the trial go on and Clerk Will
liam Penny at once began calling the
roll Of 300 taleSmen who jammed the
court room.
Becker conferred with his lawyers
as the talesmen were examined. The
chief line of Interrogation was To find
out whether OF not any of the Venire-
men knew any one connected with
either side OF the case and whether or
not they had formed an opinion. The
first juror chosen was r. Meredith
BroSden, a bond salesman, who was
sworn in as foreman of the jury.
Brogden is - years old and a bache-
lOr.
Shortly after 1 o'clock Justic sea-
hfl ri "a tn fr hot n
motions which Mr.. Cochran had made
earlier i'm the day and both were over
ruled. one was To adjudge the dis
trict attorney in contempt and the
other was for a change of venue. Mr.
" hitman opposed both motions.

SMUGGLING GUNS

(Staff Correspondent

VERA CRUZ, May 6.-Two Mexi-
cans were arrested today by the L..
5. military authorities in plot 10
smuggle arms and ammunition into
this city.
Two cOffins. presumed to contain
two cOrpses. were seized by the mill
tary police for examination and found
TO contain Mauser rifles and a big
supply OF ammunition. They had first
aroused suspicion on account of their
weight.
A report came to w. w. Canada,
the L. $. consul. that l.. 5. troops sta
toned at an outpost had captured a
Mexican water carrier with quanti-
ty of rifle cartridges in his possession.
A water bag of pigskin carried upon
the back of mule, was found TO be
filled with munitions.
Brig. Gen. Frederick Funston, the
military governor, has ordered the
strictest precautions TO prevent gun
running operations, SO that sniping
operations cannot be resumed in the
city.
This was army and navy day and
about 100000 in gold was paid out
to the soldiers, sailors and marines.
This influx almost put the city on a
gold basis. More business was done
here than for many a day, as every
soldier and sailor had his pocket full
of money and all spent reclzfessly.
Word was received from the capital
that 800 American refugees will
leave tomorrow for Puerto Mexico
10 take passage on the steamship Es-
peranza. which is ,en route 10 that
port. Many of these refugees fed in
TO Mexico City from other points in
the interior, believing they would find
greater security there.
Three Mexicans who are charged
with completely in the theft of S6O.-
600 worth of silks from the custom
house on April p, were placed on
trial TODAY

govern6rship OF the federal reserve
board. on account of the press Of pri-
vate business.
Mr. Olney's letter read:
My dear Mr.. President:
Il feel honored quite beyond
+ words by your letter of the thirtieth
ultimo-by the important office Of
fered and by the friendly express
SiOnS of confidence which accom-
panied the offer.
But the act of congress, which
very properly requires each member
Of the federal reserve board to give
his entire time to his work. is an
insuperable obstacle TO my accept
ance OF the office. In the course Of
a long life 1 have in various in
stances assumed the duties and un-
dertaken trusts which from their
personal nature cannot properly be
deVOlved upon others. If the con-
clusion | have come to is a diSap-
pOintment to YOU ! greatly regret
it. But you can hardly be sorrier
than / am that l am able TO do so
little in aid of an administration
whose first year Of achievements
makes il one Of the most notable
the country has ever known.
Trusting you will not suffer your
health and strength to be impaired
by the unusual difficulties now at
tending the duties Of your great Of
Sincerely yours.
RICHARD OLNEY."
This is the second offer from Presi
dent Wilson that MT Olney has de-
clned within the past year. the first
being the ambasSadOrShip TO the court
Of St James. which AIr Olney found
it impossible TO accept on account of
his advanced age.
1t was stated at the white house
that the president has reached no def
mite conclusion with regard 20 Olneys
successor on the federal reserve board.
1t is expected, however, that the
president will select a New England
man for the vacancy.
