Congressman Nicely Today
Made Recommendation
By Telegram.
HOT CONTEST is ENDED
LIGHT FOR GRAFTON OFFICE TO
BE SETTLED BY CONGRESS-
MAN BROWN.

Joseph w. Wellman was named as
postmaster for Moundsville by Con.
gressman NJ. NJ. Neely in telegram
sent to the state department at Wash
ington. d. c., today.
This ends one of the most hotly con.
tested fights for a lucrative govern
ment position ever conducted in this
part OF the state. There were Ia ac-
tive candidates and seven receptive"
candidates for the job, according to
Mr.. Neely's statement today, and the
appointment of Mr.. Wellmnn was not
decided upon until this afternoon just
before the telegram was sent to Wash
ington
Mr.. Wellman is resident OF
Moundsville, and owns big store In
Woodlawn, which is conducted under
the direction of a manager. Rev. ]. B.
Workman. pastor of the Diamond
Street Methodist Episcopal Church,
of Fairmont, is brother-in-lew of Mr.
Wellman. Mrs. Workman being a sis
ter OF the appointee.
Mr.. Wellmar and several other of
the candidates for the position were
in Fairmont yesterday and up until
the very last moment the name of the
successful appointee was in doubt.
On account of the large number OF
able men who applied. to Mr.. Neely
for the position, the selection was one
OF extreme difficulty and several plans
were suggested to enable the people
of Moundsville to make the selection
themselves.
One plan was to hold a primary
election and permit the voters of the
city to choose the man they wanted,
Mr.. Nicely to appoint the person re.
ceiving the greatest number OF votes.
Another plan was for the candidates
to decide among themselves by cast.
ing lots vino should get the job. These
schemes, however, were all discarded.
and the candidate was appointed in
the usual way today by Mr. Neely.
Mr.. Wellman will take active charge
of the Moundsville postoffice on April
81. when the term of the present in
cumbent expires.
During the week while Mr.. Neely
was wrestling with the Moundsville
situation a number of aspirants for
the postoffice at Grafton called. urg-
ing him to use his influence to secure
their appointment. Mr.. Neely explain
ed that the appointment to the Graf
ton Office belongs to Congressman W.
G. Brown, on account of the recent
transfer of Taylor county to Mr.
Browns district
Several OF the Grafton aspirants
are well known here. Senator Hood
Phillips is one. Hon. Tom Kenny,
who represented his county in the
legislature one term. and who has
been mayor OF the town a number of
times. is another. and Editor Barlow
of the Leader. the Democratic weekly
there. is q third.

CHy AssocIatel Press, ,


NEW YORK, March 15.-German

quoted for the statement. that the
cruiser Karlsruhe, lies at the bottom
of the sea in the West Indies, by
Jessie Boyd. second officer of the
American steamer Carib, that was

Bremerhaven and through an old time
friend now an officer in the German
navy. obtained positive confirmation
of the rumor that the Karlsruhe was
no longer afloat. She went down with
the German flag from every mast at
her stern and bow, and as she sank
the ships band played Martial music.
Mr.. Boyd quotes his friends, saying.
"a German bomb sent her to the bot
tom after she had struck a reef AS
the last flag dipped beneath the water,
German rifles fired a full salute in
her honor, a salute that Is fire in the
burial at sea OF naval officers, who
have fought and fallen in the fight.
Some of her crew is now at Bremen
haven, the officer is said to have told
Boyd. The others are still alive some
where. Mr.. Boyd said be did not want
TO appear too inquisitive SO did not
ask any questions but he inferred that
the. men who had not made Bremen
haven were still in the West Indies
or had been landed In South America.

DAYLIGHT ROBBERY IN N. Y.
Three Bandits Get Away With Over
$4,000 in JeweIry Store.
Clerks Bound.

New York.-Fully $4,000 worth of
diamonds were stolen from the pawn
shop of Adolph Stern, on the upper
East Side, by three men, who drove
mp In an automobile. held up the three
clerks with revolvers, bound and
gagged them, threw the jewels into
suit cases and escaped in the waiting
car.
The first of the three men entered
the store ahead of his companions and
began talking to one Of the clerks. The
other two bandits entered and snapped
the spring lcok on the door behind
them. Then, as II by signal, all three
drew revolvers, covered the clerks,
marched them to the rear Of the store,
bound and gagged and tied them to-
gether. In addition to the jewels, the
highwaymen took $40 in cash, but
overlooked other cash in the safe.
About a quarter of an hour elapsed
before one of the clerks freed himself,
released the others and gave the
alarm.
The proprietor Of the place, after a
rough inventory, estimated his loss a.
$4,000.
The estimate made of the loss COW
cred the amounts for which the jewels
were pawned, the proprietor said, and
did not cover full value Of the gems.
That, he thought, was much higher.
