Il member of the Democratic Nation
al Committee from this State. died
suddenly late Thursday, April %,
1920, of heart disease. on train
coming out from Baltimore while in
route from New York to his home at
Grafton. His age was 64 years. The

his many devoted friends through
out this and other States of the

Col. McGraw had long been ac-
tive and prominent as lawyer, bank
cr, newspaper proprietor, coal cp-
orator, railroad promoter. general
developer and politician.
He was born in Grafton in 1886,
educated at st. Vincent College,
Wheeling, and was elected prose
cutting attorney Of Taylor in 1880
when he first became active in poll
tics. Gov. Jackson appointed him
TO place on his personal staff and
he so received the title of Colonel.
tic was several times candidate
Tor the L. S. Senate and more than
once came near being chosen. He
was always personally popular and
true to his friends, he held them
true to him to The end. He was Il
most companionablc man-bright,
intelligent, polite and always most
agreeable.
1t has been said that had Col. Nc
Graw started his many big business
projects some years later he would
nave been one of the wcalthiesi
men iii the State. AS ii was he be-
came involved in debt and failed
to realize the success he hoped for.
He had perhaps as many dcvol-
ed personal friends as any man in
West Virginia for he was, indeed.
most likcablc man.
Col. McGraw was a great admir-
cr and warm personal friend of
President Wilson who once visited
him at his home. The President
sent message of coincidence to Col.
McGraw's aged mother, and also
sent magnificent floral wreath for
the casket.
A great crowd from far and near
attended the funeral at Grafton

To The Editor Of The
 Williams News. -

Williams News.
 Dear Sir:-
 One of the discord- ant notes relative to the game of baseball played by the Will Hams team and Battery A, of Flagstaff, last Sunday, as was to be expected, eminates from the Coconino Sun. With it's accustomed degree of accuracy where a matter of fact is involv- ed, the Sun states:
 ''Larry Williams and Harry Dooner came up on Friday pre- ceding the game for a confer ence with Manager Charley Heisser. They wanted to play all the ringers they could get hold of, and Larry got real peeved when Charley told him that we had challenged Will Hams, but that if we were to play Los Angeles, or the Coast League, we would send our challenge there direct and not to Williams. Finally, under threat of cancelling the game, Charley secured the signatures of the Williams management to an agreement that they would present Williams Lineup con- taining at least five players who had played this year with that team. .Dooner and Williams proved that they regarded the agreement about as much as the kaiser did his treaties. They honored their scrap of paper by bringing Rector. Lawler and Anderson from Winslow."
 In the first place no agree ment was ever signed by the Williams and Flagstaff clubs relative to the game in ques- tion. Such an agreement was offered by Messrs Dooner. and Williams to Manager Heisser and he refused to sign the same. A verbal agreement practically to the same effect was, howev- CT, made. MT. Williams, who opposed any such agreement. told Manager Heisser at the time that he (Heisser) did not understand the agreement that Williams had not present ed the same lineup in any three games during the season, but had played men on their team from every town from Seligman to Winslow. Manager Heisser insisted that he did understand the agreement, and when the game was about to commence he came to MT. Williams and wanted to know what five men were in the Williams lineup who had played with that team. He was shown the Williams score-book wherein appears the names of Rector, and Anderson, who had played with Williams this year, and which fact can be verified, not only by these players themselves, but by hum dreds of people who saw them play with Williams when that team defeated Kingman by a score of seven to six, July II. 1920. The other players who had played with Williams were Procter, Sellman, and Sullivant. the required number as agreed upon.
 It comes with very poor grace from the Sun to refer to any lineup that could be presented against the Battery team, when, after combing the states of Ar izOna and New Mexico for players, they have now perfect ed their admirable ball team, and object to others doing the same thing.
 During the conference be- tween Messrs Heisser, Dooner and Williams, the latter offered to play a strictly Williams team against strictly Flagstaff team, both teams to be com
