The Penn's Grove record., 1921-08-26

%g SEMZ9 old Dominion
Colony. While its history is nat
orally yOled up with that Of the
Mother State, there are many
points in which the two sections
of Virginia were divergent and
it was for this reason that West
Virginia finally became a sepa-
rate state.
The first white man who prob
ably penetrated the wilderness
of this Western region was John
Laderer, a German surgeon, who
went on a tour of exploration in
1869. In the same year, La Sale
sailed up the Ohio and landed
at several points in the present
state. There was little colonial
ton until 1882, when Scotch and
Irish Adventures begGn to fill
Western Virginia. They We're
encouraged but little, and, in
fact, the King in 1888 declared
that this part of the colony was
Indian country and could not
rightfully be settled. Colonial
ton continued, however, and bit
ter warfare was Waged against
the Indians and the French who
had come down from the North.
In IVA the battle of PIT. Pleasant
was fought, which was II of
the bloOdiest of Indian conflicts.
The backwOodsmen who set
tied in the Western part of Vir-
ginia were entirely different
types of men from the wealthy
slave owners along the coast.
JealOusies between the two sec
tons arose and the Western
countries felt great dissatisfac-
ton at the way Virginia was
governing them. The most
marked point of disagreement
was over the slavery question,
and it was because of this that,
when Virginia seeded from the
Union in 1861, West Virginia
took matters in its own hands.
Delegates met at Wheeling, drew
up a separate constitution, and
declared their independence.
Their application for admission
into the Union was accepted by
Lincoln, and in 1868 West Vir-
ginia became the thirty-fifth
state.
1t is often called the "Pan-
handle State" on account of its
shape. Its area is PATIO square
miles, and it has eight presiden-
tial electors.

Expose Bogus Kinship
Chicago Man Posing
as Presidents Cousin

Chicago, Apr. 3.-The dream of
Everett A. Harding of relationship to
Americas chief executive was shat
tered today. While the self styled
cousin of President Harding and his
confidential secretary" spent the day
In the Woodstock, his, Jail, in default
OF $4,000 bail and charged with i'm
personating a government official, Sec
ret service agents were gathering up
the loose ends of the young mans
schemes to capitalize his alleged re-
lationship to the President.
The agents learned that months
before the Republican National Con-
vention last year. young Harding in
jected himself into the presidential
primary campaign in behalf of
Cousin Warren" representing HIM
self on several occasions as Senator
Hardine's campaign manager. The
headquarters had no knowledge of
the young mans activities. Previous
ly he had been active in support of
both General Wood and Governor
Lowden.
Everett's victims, the secret service
men said, included hundreds of prom
inent Republicans and business men
who invested money in what Everett
called Harding enterprises in which
Cousin Warren was personally inter-
terested." Promises of political pre-
ferment were the bait used by young
Harding.
Harding, according to the police,
found Chicagos leading citizens gull
lible. He took % of them to the in
auguration in a private car. it was
said, and then paid the Pennsylvania
railroad with a check for $1,1S.44
which was returned, according to the
railroad officials. marked mo funds"
While on this trip, Harding became
acquainted with delegation from the
Hamilton Club, the chief Republican
social organization of the city. He
posed before them as a cousin of the
President and was promised a life
membership in the club, the police
said. In return Harding was said to
have promised his friends political
appointments, telling them that he
was to be assistant secretary to the
President.
Harding, police claim, after becom-
ing acquainted with prominent bust
ness men, through posing as the
Presidents cousin, confidently prom
ised to ''let them in" on several bus
mess ventures which he said would be
backed by the chief executive.
One of these was Harding hotel"
another was a chain of Harding can
dy stores, and third was Harding
monthly MAGAZINE" This magazine
according to Harding's story, as re-
lated by the police, was to contain an
article in each issue by the President.
Pearl Harding, Everett's 13-year-
old sister. acquired considerable fame
through the posing of her brother.
She became known as the white
House baby" and it was said that she
was to go to Washington and live
with the President. Her picture was
widely sought by manufacturers to
be used in advertising, by newspaper
photographers and by the movies.
