Accuses Glass of Falsehood and
Cowardice in His Rich?
mond Speech.
DENIES IT HAS SOLD OUT
South Boston News Announces
It Was Object of Glass's
Attack.
Denouncing as absolutely false the
statement rhado by Carter Glass in
his Richmond speech to the effect that
it had beeu subsidized, the South Bos?
ton News, in its issue of tills week,
says that it is the publication to which
Mr. Glass referred in Ibis connection,
but wlilch he refused to name. The
Lynchburg candidate was us..cd by
members of his audience to call tin
name of the newspaper against which
he was bringing his charges, but did
not do so.
Characterizing the fiction of the un?
named paper as "shameful prostitu?
tion." in bitter language Mr. Glass told
how, although for many years an op?
ponent of the "machine." it had re?
cently published many articles In op?
position to his candidacy, paid for, but
not so marked Further, he charged It
had refused to print the announce?
ment of his candidacy at full adver?
tising rates, and. to cap the climax,
had republlshed as an advertisement a
mendacious attack made upon him. and
than, when he asked for an oppor?
tunity to reply at advertising rates,
the answer came back that the pub?
lishers confessed that the'r columns
had be?m sold to th?? other side, and
they could accept nothing save from
the side of the "temporary appointee."
Did \ot Write letter.
It will be noted that Mr. Glass did
not. charge that he had a letter from
the publishers of the paper making
this admission.
An ordinary reading would leave this
Impression, and It hrm been generally
so accepted, but ll will be noted that
it could he construed that the letter
came from another part-.- telling Of the
"shameful prostitution." From the
statement of the South Boston News, it
appears that the offer of Mr. Glass's
reply was presented to it by B S. Har?
bour In the shape of li clipping from a
Baltimore paper. The New? sr>*s that
Mr. Glass has no letter from the pub?
lisher in regard to printing his card.
After sarcastically referring t.-> Mr.
Glass's supposed mc at not being
able to buy what ho wanted, the News
fays:
t_"f?en Aiinnln? Undue.
"In justice to all the rest of the
newspapers In the State, and after this
apportion? made hv Mr. Glass, who de?
clared he had the proof in hand, his
refusal fto name the paper) was un?
just to the fraternity and cowardly on
the part of Mr. Glass. An Insinuation
without an explanation Is the worst,
form of mendacity
"Why did not Mr. Glass, wo a^ain
repent, after lie hn 1 made quotations
from the paper? Why didn't he. like
a man. stand up before that audience
and proclaim that the paper r'-f'-rr^-d
to was the South Boston News, for
thnt wan the paper from which he had!
quoted? There Is not a man of moral
courage In Virginia to-day that would
make a crave charge against his fe.l-v.
low-ritizen In a public mass-meeting
and then refuse to give his name. And
that's Jos? what Congressman Glass
did. Virginians will overlook mis?
takes, pardon ?rrors. but will not con?
done wanton Injustice and cowardice.
"AhKOtutely Ffilnr.''
"With regard to th* Insinuation that,
the editor has bf^n ImiiGlit, or the
edJtn-ir.; columns subsidized, or that
he has ceased to fight ring and po?
litical combines against the rights of
thft people is absolutely false.
"The editor of this paper has nc
pecuniary Interests In the same, fur?
ther than to draw his very modest
salary. B. C. ReaV.ley Is the owner,
proprietor nnd business manager. As
such he reserves to himself the right
to reject any advertisement he may
df?em proper.
"Since th?> establishment of the paper
In !fif>0. it has neyer accepted a slnirle
Honor or bar-room advertisement. The
advertislrie columns of the paper are
for sab- No one has a rieht to force
their owner to sell them to whom
he does not wish, thuicli he be a ran- I
didnte for the United States Senate. '
"Whence conir-th this great reformer,!
anyway? With what faction has Mr I
Glass been affiliating? Tf \v| mistake
not. in the great Montague and Martin !
senatorial contest in 1005 Mr. Glass* i
was n supporter of Mr. Martin, the
reputed head of the machine ?the ring. |
And. further, it is reported, and we j
have not yet heard It denied, that Mr I
Glass only a few months apro proposed
to Hon. Hal. Flood that if he would
make the race for the Senate that he
(Glass) would support him most
heartily. Mr. Flood is one of the 'hie
four' of the so-called Martin machine.
"Why such a sudden chancre in your
factional affiliations? There are rea?
sons, no doubt.
Chilled tils '/.eat.
"Perhaps Governor Mann, whom you
po loyally supported three years asro.
and In whose behalf you were willing
to break the heart of a wife nnd
mother, and blot out the sunshine from
the life of sons and daughters, when
there waa no nood for it, by arraying
before the public a long settled family
feud, chilled your zeal when ho ap?
pointed ex-Governor Swnnson to fill
tho vacancy caused by tho death of
Major Daniel.
"That was an awful slam. Ingrati?
tude and lack of appreciation aro bad
things, and surely Governor Mann was?
guilty of these. And then thoro" woj
another chance, a first-class chance
for Governor Mann to do the hand?
some thing, but, alas! Mr. Swanoon
again got the plum.
"No, Mr. Glass, tho peoplo of Vir?
ginia will hardly think that you ara
more righteous than they. Tho ma
ohino that you aro fighting so hard
against has given you for many years
a comfortable berth, largo enough for
your capacity. If not for your arroi
ganco and ambition.
"Tho statement that you had a letter
from the publisher of this paper in
regard to publishing your caTO is posi?
tively untrue.
"A clipping from a Baltimore paper
was the only thing that reached tb4s
office, and that was presentod by JC 6.
Barbour."
SMALL" FTHEFOR
TANK PEDDLING
The decision handed, flown yesterday
morning by Maglstrato Cheatham, If
the Oak Grove court, Chesterflol?
county, found tho Standard OH Com?
pany, the National Oil Company ana
tho Richmond Oil Company, and the
drivers of these three corporations
guilty of violating the peddling law,
and Imposed a line of *-260 upon each
of the companies and ?100 upon one
driver of each. An appeal was imme?
diately noted by the attorneys for the
defense.
By this decision the magistrate goes
on record as declaring the salo of oil
from tank wagons Illegal and a viola?
tion of the Stato revenue laws, and It
i.s generally agreed that the case will
be carried to the highest courts and
its validity tested in order to settle
once for all the legality or illegality
of the universal method of sale used
by all oil companies.
In a conference between the oppos
i ing attorneys a \v.;ek ago, when the
hearing of the eharg"a was being con?
ducted, it was agreed that one case
against each company and ono case
against each driver was to be tried,
and whatever decision was reached by
tin- magistrate in regard to these teat
cases should apply without contro?
versy to the remaining batch of war?
rants out against the three companies.
When asked yesterday, after the an?
nouncement of the maglsttate's deci?
sion, how many warrants would be
pressed against the companies. County
Officer Jerrell, who worked up the
cases, stated that none would be
served until the six cases.pending have
been threshed oat. It is understood
that there is no limit to the Warrants
that can ho executed on the companies
if the case should be Irrevocably de?
cided againct them in the Supreme
Court, and with a minimum tine of $1"0
and a maximum in each count of $000.
.Terrell's share of tho fines will be a
small fortune.
Counsel for both sides stated yes?
terday that an effort would be made
(.0 have tho cases brought up at the
special term of the Circuit Court of
Chesterfield county, to be called by
Judge Watson the latter part of this
month. Counsel for the Standard Was
Bppa Hunton, Jr.. and C. I... Pace; for
the National. T. A. Williams, of Nor?
folk; for the Richmond, A. W. Patter?
son, while Commonwealth's Attorney
Gregory and Conway Sands prosecuted
the charges.
SHAFTS FROM SPORTLAND
By GUS MALBERT?
Without offering excuses for making
tho statement, the game yesterday was j
by f a r the most loosely played of any
witnessed on th* local diamond this
season. Why this is true, or what
cause? contributed to the performance
Is beyond my ken. Certain It is thai
"Truck" Egan and Pfahler were way
off. and contributed largely to the suc?
cess of the squad which Is being engi?
neered by Topsy Hartseil: Po far as
I am concerned. I am perfectly willing
to go on record as saying that Pfahler
will not do. This assertion is mad*;
at this time because I believe that now
Is the time to make improvements.
Pfahler may he a good ball player, but
he has failed to deliver up to the pres?
ent time. From what I have been able
to gather, he has a bad knee, and he
favors It at every opportunity. In?
stead of facing a ball hit to him. he
dodges to one side. When he does
manage to got in front of one he goes
to his knees That kind of playing
Is not going to h^lp the local team. It
In ay be that T am wrong. No fellow
on earth Is more willing to admit an
error than I am. but neither Pfahler
hbr Glauser at this writing looks Ilk?
being able to keep up with tho rest
of thio crowd which Sullivan has got
together.
Jack Barker Is now a member of the
Richmond team. He was left hero by
Hartsell upon the recommendation of
Connie Mack. Barker Is touted as a
good pitcher. Contrary to reports
which (have been printed hereabouts,
ho Is a normal sided boy and not a
portpaw, as has been written. Yes?
terday he was given a preliminary try
out by Sullivan, and it is more than
probable that he will be sent in against
his teammates to-day. He Is young
and good .looking, which may com?
mend him to a portion of Richmond's
population, at least.
Baker is credited with two errors
in the box score, but something should
be said about those errors- Both of
the balls hit to him were hard drives,
and could have been credited hits if
the scorers had desired to be a little
more lenient. I was one of the men
who felt that he should he given errors
because I felt that had the diamond
been in proper conditional third bases
player of Baker's ability could have
handled the hits. In justice to the
little fellow, it should be said that he
Is up against it good and hard at that
corner. He is compelled to get the
ball before 'it leaves the grass, be?
cause If he does not there is no tellinc
what It will do. The ground begins
to slope down into a sort of ravine
after the grass is left, and instead
of bounding the ball has a tendency to
skid. No ball player on earth is quali?
fied to judge, a ground ball under such
conditions. Raker is a great, little ball
player, and he should be helped, pot
hindered, by a bad diamond The ex?
hibition games do not amour - to much,
but they furnish a means of finding
out where the faults lie. Sam Crane
took occasion to hand a deserved
tribute to Baker's ability in yesterday's
New York Journal. He spoke of him
as one of the best Infieldcrs in the
minors, and 1 agree with him fully.
Egan was responsible for several of
