DEATH OF COL. JOHN T. MeGRAw

Col. John T. McGraw, one of West
Nirsinia'S most highly regarded and
best known public men. died suddenly
last Thursday night on Baltimore s
ONO train No. ;, between Philadel.
phla and Baltimore. He had been In
New York on business and became i'll
IN that city. His physician told him
ne would be able 10 make the trim
nome, and he started for Grafton. He
had an attack of heart failure before
me train reached Baltimore, and
d'ed IN short time. With him at the
time OF his death were his nephew.
John Wardcr, his brothcr-in.law, Mr..
DeBerrlz, and Judge Ira f. Robinson.
ne body was taken from the train at
aShlnGton, where IL was prepared
ior burial, and later il was sent TO
Grafton, where the funeral took place
last Sunday. Many distinguished per-
sons from this and other States attend
ed the service, and President and Mrs.
wilson sent magnificent floral
emblem. MesSrs. W. ]. Knott and
). c. Young, of this county, attended
the service.
In the death of Colonel McGraw
West Virginia loses one Of its most
picturesque figures and his death
causes regret on the part of thousands
OF friends. Brilliant and eloquent.
warm-hcarted and generous to an un-
unusual degree, he was man remark
able for his personal charm and abili-
". For many years he was the leading
Democrat in West Virginia Although
no man in the State rendered greater
service to his party, nor accomplished
more for his friends, he seemed doom
cd 10 defeat when he himself aspired
TO Office. He was defeated for Con
Grc'S several times, and once came so
near being elected United States Sena-
tor that he lost by only one vote. AL
though he himself was true to his
friends, they were not always true to
HIN. His political advcrSiticS, how
ever, did not sour him-he stood by
his party to the last and was always al
its service. He was for many years
member of the National Democratic
Committee.
Colonel McGraw, who was Is years
old, was born and reared in Grafton
He received his degree in law from
Yale University, and from his youth
was a gifted and eloquent speaker
He Stumped this State time and again

" always uISW Il C1OWu 10 near MIN
He had been in Shephcrdstow frequent
ly and had many warm friends in this
county. His last visit to Shepherds.
town was several years ago, when he
delivered an address TO the Alumni AS.
sociation of Shepherd College, and was
the guest for a day or two Of VIM. J
Knott, near town.
Colonel McGraw did much for the
development of West Virginia. He
was the owner Of much coal and timber
land, and he constructed a railroad 4
Webster Springs and built big hotc
at that resort. He owned a very valu
able farm in Jefferson county, the
famous "Cassilis" place near Charles
Town. OF late years he had been ir
complicated litigation over his numer.
Gus properties, resulting from the
failure of bank in Grafton in which
he was interested. II is likely now
that these properties will all come
upon the market
Colonel McGraw, who was never
married, is survived by his aged mo.
ther, who is now very i'll, and three
sisters.

Omaha Preacher, Victim ol
Highjackers. Discusses the
Business From Pulpit.

"Ail the highjacking being dore
in Omaha is engineered by one man
who lives in the fashionable district
in a fine residence, according to in
formation given me over the tele-
phone yesterday by man who has
made considerable money in this
way" declared Rev. Charles w.
Savidge in sermon at the Peoples
church last night on Omaha High
,jackers."
Rev. Mr.. Savidge told of the visit
Of highjackers to his home, 222S
Maple street, last Monday night,
and of conversation by telephone
with an alleged highjacker, who
called him up after IL Friday night.
Yesterday morning another man
called me up at my Office said Rev.
Mr.. Savidge. "He said that ins. lad
of their being only six highjackers
in Omaha, as my first informant
said, there are eight gangs totaling
about 100 men. engaged in this
work.
Has Fine Home.
"The master mind who directs the
business and Mes in a fine home, is
man Of brains and ability and is
considered by the community to be
a man OF good morals.
"He said booze is being sold with
comparative safety and at unbc-
lievable prices to rich men in Omaha,
particularly those who live at clubs.
Most of the highjackers are men be-
tween 20 and 80 years of age who
are out for the money.
Women are cooperating with the
gangs, my informant said. They drive
the fine cars which haul the robbers.
Some OF these women carry guns
and can shoot with accuracy and
deadly effect. They sleep by day and
do this deviltry by night"
"Out to VIM"
Rev. Mr.. Savidge said his tele.
phone informant told him that this
type Of robber is called a high
jacker" because the high jack" card
wins and the highjacker goes out
to win.
He declared that, according to his
information, the police have not
arrested any Of the real gangs of
highjaekers, but only boys and
nondescripts."
II think that, as the robbers have
gone through my basement, they
ought not to weaken now but visit
the homes of bishops, priests and
ministers of both Catholic and
Protestant churches. Then they
ought to make a truthful report. It
would be interesting. In the cellars
OF some ministers they will find
something"

Legion Posts Urged
To Join in Campaign.
Against lllterac,

New York, March 7.-Co-opera-
ton of American Legion posts
throughout the country, with every
effort to stamp out illiteracy, was
advocated by the legion's national
Americanism commission in a re-
port to the national executive COM
mittee, made public today.
Arthur Woods, former police COM
missioner of New York, commission
chairman, stated it had decided to
confne itself to definition of gen
eral principles" and to leave the ap-
plication of these principles to indi-
vidual posts.
"All posts should make plain to
the community that they are not as
suming any monopoly of patriotism,
but that they wish to work vigor-
ously and effectively for all that is
best in America, and that they are
eager to join forces with all others
who have the same aiIn," said the re-
port.
"The American Legion should en-
courage, support and help the
schools in teaching to the children
tn. origin and development of Amer
ican institutions and the opportu-
mites Of American life. The legion
should assist schools by offering to
provide qualified speakers from time
to time TO every school in the nation
to preach Ameficanism, especially
on our great patriotic days."
