BRADLEY CALLS HAND OF
INDIANA GOVERNOR.
Maintains That Government In West
Virginia Has Not Broken Down.

Virginia Has Not Broken Down.
H The following letter to the COVER
nor of Indiana has been forwarded to
that official by Henry N. Bradley, a
fellow citizen of Charles Town, now
connected with the State Board of
Control, in which he calls the atten-
ton of Governor McRay that con-
stituted authority in West Virginia is
badly misrepresented and that he
should honor the requisition of Gov
lernor Morgan for one David Robb,
indicted by grand jury in Mingo
county for participating in the reign
of lawlessness that took place in the
coal fields in the lower end of the
State. We compliment Mr.. Bradley
for the stand he takes, because it
means in the final analysis that gov
errors particularly ought to help
maintain the standard of law en-
forcement instead of helping law
violators to hide behind false con-
stitutional standards.
| On account of the high value of
Mr.. Bradley's letter to Governor Nc
Ray, we publish the letter in full
herewith:
Hon. Warren T. McRay,
Executive Mansion,
indianapolis, Ind.
Dear Governor McRay:-
/ noticed by today's Charleston
Gazette that you have refused to
honor requisition of the Governor
of West Virginia for the return of
one David Robb, who was indicted by
grand jury in Mingo County for
murder, and give as your reason
that, in your opinion, the accused
would not receive fair trial.
| The writer would not for a
moment question your judgment as a
citizen of the Commonwealth of
sovereign state of the Union, but, as
Governor, and refusing to honor a
requisition of governor of another
state for man who stands indicted for
the gravest offense known to our
statutes, you say, in effect, that all
courts our country cannot be trusted.
| am not lawyer, but have the
! greatest respect and regard for legal
constituted authority, as provided by
| the Constitution of the United
States, and should there be any doubt
that the court of Mingo County
would not render just verdict, the
right of appeal is open to every man,
even to the Supreme Court of the
Unitd States.
Much has been said and written, in
many cases, unjustly and derogatory
to the fair name of West Virginia
and every constituted authority.
This condition has been brought
about largely by system conceived
and fostered by an element who have
no regard or respect for law and
order, but rather prefer mob rule.
In my humble opinion, the good citi-
zens of the state will not submit any
longer to the Bolshevistic spirit of
those who took up arms, and started
to march into a county for the pur-
pose of intimidating and compelling
people to join their ranks, but will
rally to the standard of "equal rights
to all and special privileges to none"
The State Government of West
Virginia has not broken down, as
charged by some, but will go forward
under the guiding hand of Governor
Morgan, in whom the large majority
have confidence and respect.
Very truly yours,
H. N. BRADLEY.

Great crowds gathered outside the

many falling ON their knees and recit-

met with cordial reception from those
assembled.
The members of the conference were
reticent regarding what took place at

were reached on the financial question
and the disadvantages of partition.
Sentiment is Hopeful.
Popular sentiment is very hopeful of

would appreciate. He added that fears
that Mr.. de Valera would be hamper

Wanted All Present,
The view is entertained here that
Sir James Craig's absence from the
may be even advantageous
to the present negotiations, since any
concessions necessary from Ulster
might easier be made by the Ulster
premier in London than in Dublin.
This view. however, is not shared by
the members of the conference, who
would have preferred that all of Ire

British Worrying
Because Premiers
Have Nothing to Do

London. July 4.--(By The Associat-

the Anglo-Japanese treaty apparently
pigeon holed pending the attempt to
bring about discussions with the other
Pacific ocean powers with the view of
reaching some agreement respecting
that part of the world. is wondering
what the premiers attending the i'm
perial conference will find to talk
about until July %. when they are to
finish their work in London.
Some OF the newspapers suggest
they should take up the Irish question,
but most of the dominion representa-
tives prefer to leave this responsibility
to the imperial government.
It is argued that the general foreign
policy, which is the next subject on the
agenda, must await 4 settlement Of
the Pacific question.
