TRY TO INFLUENCE
JUDGES OF STATE
Jones Makes Further Charges
Against Alleged Party
Bosses.
[Special to The Tlinos-Dispatch.] '
Newport News, Va . September 3.?
Speaking before a crowd that comfort?
ably tilled the Academy of Music, Con-'
grtssraan William A. Jones, candidate
for the United States Senate against
Senu'.or Thomas S. Martin, to-night;
held the attention of his audience tori
more than three hours. While his :iti-|
dress was practically nothing more tnan
a repetition of the speech made In
Itlchmond on Monday night, he was!
time and again interrupted by ap-|
plause. No additional letters or oilier,
documentary evidence was Introduced'
to show Senator Martin's connection
with the railroads, but three letters
were Introduced In the effort to prov?j
tl.o contention of the speuker that the
"machine" not only essays to select the I
Judges of the fatale, but undortakes to j
control their actions In the discharge;
of their Judicial duties.
Relative to the control of tha
.: Idgea by the machine. Mr. Junes asJd |
Ir. part: "Within the puat few dayd i
abundant evidence has been preduced
to prove not only that the political
machine In Virginia essays to it-'^ct
our judges, but that it ha? not the
brasen auduclty even *e undertake to
control their action In the discharge
or their Judiclul functions. A flagrant
and most glaring instance of this lu-s
recently been brought to the attention
of the public. A few year* ago a
Mrs. 1. F. Williams devised a con?
siderable sum ot money u. be devot id
to the establishment and endowment
uf Bweetbrler College, an Institution
devoted to the higher education ot
women. There was a contest over her
will, and one of the subordinate coun?
sel employed by the executor was Ex
Judge C. J. Campbell, of Amtierst
county For his alleged services in
connection with this Williams legacy.
Ex-Judge Campbell presented to the j
executor a bill for a fee of $9,u0u. This I
claim was referred to a commissioner I
of tiie court, who was directed to re?
port upon the same. In support of
his claim. Kx-Judge Campbell present
ed the three certificates which I now I
read." He then read three letters In
dorclng the claim which were signed
by Hal Flood, Claude Swansun. and
Thomas Martin.
Continuing, he said: "It will be ob?
served that these certificates are
signed by the political boss of ,ourj
State and two of his chief lieutenants,
not one of whom resides In the Jud'.-'
clal lrcult in which the Williams case!
was ponding. Fach one of them was
holding a political office when he thus!
undertook to influence the action of
the I'lreult Court of Amherst county,
and to iiillucr.ee that action in the in?
terest of one of the most active and
dependable of the supporters of the
machine. I submit that this documen?
tary evidence Is proof positive that the
Martin machine undertakes to influ?
ence and control even the actions o
the courts of our State
"To the everlasting credit of the com?
missioner who reported upon this fee.
1 take pleasure in say'ng that, not?
withstanding the influence brought to
bear upon him by the political trium?
virate of Virginia, he trimmed down
this charge from $9,oen to J1.00J. If
there was ever a more unrighteous or
more shameless attempt on the p?rt of
political bosses to influence the acCm
of a court in ft matter requiring the
highest form of Judicial discretion, sutK
an instance has never come und ir n y
observation. Not one of these big
politicians had any personal knowledge
as to the alleged services of ex-Judge
Campbell, and not one of them tven
professed 10 ha%tc"

The Beattie trial and others mat?

umount of work for the staff, that no
one could hftve taken my place. In
my opinion. Messrs. Glass and Jones
have demonstrated tho unfltness or
the incumbents for further claim
upon the suffrages of the Virginia
people. In the beginning. I iavored
Senator Martin's re-election, but le-j
cent development make It absolutely
Impossible tor me to accord him any]

disturbed by 1%< ?vjence under lire,
that he give in his Richmond speech!
some answer to the facts suggested i
by the several letteits, that the rail-'
roads were active In Rischmond at
that time, and thnt he was evidently'
the centre of whatever activity was
going on. 1 asked hint to frankly j
state what this activity was and hisj
connection therewith. His reply was
thoroughly evasive nnd positively in?
sulting to the intelligence, of voters.
Since then further lottery over h.o
signature have made Inevitable the i
conclusion that the Indictment ot Mr.
Jones 1> true. So far as -Mr. Glass is
concerned, 1 have never considered j
anything else than his support
His character, his conspicuous abil- '
Hies, his consistent defense of purity
In politics and his unwavering oppo-,

long convinced me thnt cltlzen.i of Vir?

a square deal than at his hands. 1
wrote him immediately upon announce?

his position and would support his!
nomination. I thave ao reason to
change my views On the other hand,
the confOEslon of his opponent that I
he had engaged In stock manipulation
while a mender of the c mgresslonal
committee, charged with legislation j
affecting tho very corporation in whose,
stocks Mr Swnnaon was speculating,
and the further fact that he appar

LIQUOR QUESTION
PRINCIPAL ISSUE
Colwn-.hu?. O.. September 5.?Weather
conditions !n Ohio to-day were miser?
able for the municipal primaries, and
what promised to be a thrilling battle
of ballots In most of the cities oi' the
State, dwindled to almost nothing.
The vote was perhaps the lightest e\er
cast In the Stnte.
The llo.uor question was the principal
Issue In the Inrger cities. The "drys"
won out in some of the cities which
had been under control of a "wet"
mayor, and the "wets" were victorious
in soveral of the "dry" cities.
In Columbus, Mayor George Marshall,
a conservative, won over two other He
publican candidates, who were liberals.
The Democrats nominated Gcorgo J.
Karb, a liberal.
In Cleveland, N'ewton Baiter, a pro?
tege of the late Tom L Johnson, was
nominated by the Democrats, and
Prank G. Hogen was named to head
the Republican ticket.
In Cincinnati, Hery Hunt, Demo?
crat, and Louis Schwab, the present
Republican Mayor, were named. The
liquor question was not Involved In
Cincinnati or Cleveland.
In Toledo, Alvln Jones, "dry" caa
dldate, was nominated by the Repub?
licans He will oppose Brand Whit
lock, Independent nominee, Liberal.
The liquor tight was more severe in
some lesser cities. Springfield, "dry"
town, will have J, J. Miller. Democrat,
"wet" candidate, opposing W. A. Mar?
tin. Republican, and a "dry " In New?
ark, the sceno of the lyncnlng of a
white man year ago, Herbert Alher
ton, Mayor at the time of the crime,
and who w is Impeached by the Gov?
ernor, attempted to get vindication at
the polls, and was defeated by a big
majority by F. M. Schwartz, in the
Democratic primary.
Mayor A. R. Turnbull, a Liberal, was
nominated by the Democrats I.. Canton
by a narrow margin- Mayor Sawyer,
of Akron. Liberal, w?a>? defeated for

AMUSEMENTS
-Ke? "The House Next Dimr."
After having seen the performance at tre
BIJeu of "The House Next Door" one is
compelled to wonder why the Schiller
Amusement Company has seen fit to present
this play and thl? company In a populnr
prlced theatre. With a vivid and happy
recollection Of J. E. D'dson and his superb
companv In ihls masterpiece of play-writ*
lng. this reviewer sat through tho three
acts of tho play Inst night entranced again.
It Is difficult to speak or write In mod?
erate t.sj.ns of the performance of the com?
pany now prescnllik,- the play. Henry
Hicks. a< Jack Ranee In The Girl of the
?oldest Werft" compelled .tha respectful
admiration or those who had teen Krank
Keensn In the parti as the Irascible old
Saxon, Sir John Ootswold. he commanded
the hearty npp-.ibiilon and ungrudging ap?
plause of those vbtj remembered the artls
1 try of Mr. Dodaon himself. Hla perform
! nnce was one In a thousand?a thine of
I Genuine delight tn one who has been a
more or. less close obaervev of plays and
players tor a number of years. W. A.
