Mind of Second District Publi<
Being Diverted from Fraud
Issue.
MARTIN’ IX I/LMEUGin
Young's Friends Realize I ul
Value of Drawing Senator
Into Situation.
To all appearances, that i* a shrewc
political (tame which the Norfolk rln(
is playing these days In the Second
district Democratic congessional tight
Diverting the attention of the pub
lic from the ugly and extensive fraud!
perpetrated during the August pri
mary and uncovered by the Investi
gators named by the State centra
committee, the ring has evidently suc
ceeded in centering attention upor
United States Senator Tom Marti!
and are making the most of the sit
uation. By these tactics it Is en
deavoring to discredit the citlxens
movemeht which has been "first, Iasi
and all the time to beat Young ami
Maynard in the second primary.'
Deaden* of the citizens In Norfolk art
admittedly no friends ol Senator Mar
tin, but they arc supporting Stau
Senator Holland, of Suffolk, who li
declared by Young and his ring sup
porters to be Senator Martin's candi
date. That is where some of th«
voters arc being puzzled..
ffiierc Cue fame From.
The ring got its cue from the fail
that Colonel C. Kenton Day, of Smith
field, chairman of the Second distrlei
Democratic committee, and father-ln
law of Senator Martin, turned th<
trick that gave Holland an opening
in the campaign. He it »as wh<
mad*- it possible, !•/ his vote at th*
recent meeting of the committee, roi
minority candidates In the primary tc
get representation in the conventior
which will follow the primary. Anc
no one will question that the ring hai
made the most of Its opportunity
whether or not Senator Martin Is It
•ympathy with Holland's candidacy.
In referring to this phase of th<
situation. Senator Holland is quotec
as saying that he favored Kltzhugt
Dee in 1893, when Martin oppoaei
Dee and tlrst became United State!
Senator. When Martin was opposec
in 1806 by former Governor Monta
gue, Holland says he supported Mon
Jority fur him In the Suffolk district
Senator Holland t» expected to makt
himself even more clear on the sub
ject when he addresses the citizens
meeting at the Academy in N'urfoli
Wednesday night.
Know tabs- of
King leaders realize full wo I tin
value of making Senator Marlin ui
issue in the pending < risis. The;
know that hundreds, if rot thousands
of voters in that se< tlon Itelieve a
the bottom of their hearts that thi
senior senator from Virginia is re
sponsible in a large measure for po
litieai conditions in the district The;
know that many of the Second dls
trlct voters, especially those lined ui
against Norfolk county fusion, havi
always laid at the door of Senatoi
Martin the responsibility for the a>
tion of the State committee in sidinj
with the fustonlsts1 against tn<
atralghtouts when appeal was madi
to that body in previous contests
They know that Senator Martin go

county.
Trrhy in the Brains.
Knowing these facts and many
more, the Norfolk ring, which has al
ways been more or less closely af
filiated with county fuslonitm. is
playing the game for all It is
worth. Few political leaders In this
part of the country are shrewder than
■Jimmie" Trehy. head of the Norfolk
ring, and to him is doubtless due the
credit of conceiving and <■: ecu ting the
Martin diversion trick. Leaders of
the citizens' movement arc but tyros
compared with Trehy aiul other ring
leaders, who have been in the game
for years and knnvt how to meet a
crisis when it comes.
If Senator Holland is defeated for
the congressional nomination, it will
be due to this clever ruse designed
by the Norfolk ring to divert atten
; tlon from the real Issue at stake—the
frauds covered by the Investigating
committee.

RALEIGH. N. C, Oct. 12.—l.eeCald- j
well, a young white mail, of Warren
county, who lived lor six years In Man
chester. Va., and conducted a furni
ture business, proving a good char
acter there, but who has served two
years of a six-years’ sentence In the
State penitentiary for manslaughter,
has been pardoned hy Governor Kit
chin, conditioned on. good bohat lor. The
man Caldwell killed had a few days
before the killing beaten Caldwells
mother, without apparent stood reason,
and when Caldwell met him .he told
his mother’s assailant that he proposed
to beat him or get beaten
The deceased then struck hint with
a hoe and the fatal encounter was on.
Caldwell got the hoe from his-assail
ant ang struck him with it and then
the deceased used his knife, inflict
ing three severe cuts. The prisoner
then ran backwards until he stumbled
and fell. It was then that he drew
his revolver and shot the deceased.
The governor states that the prisoner
has maintained a fine record In the
penitentiary and that in Manchester
he was regarded as honest, industrious,
temperate and polite. The pardon is
recommended by the Judge and solici
tor.
There was also a psnlon to-day for
Robert Shoffner. serving twenty-five
years, from Guilford county, for crimi
nal intimacy with a girl under four
teen years old. He has served ten years
of the sentence, both being negroes.
The crime of criminal assault was
charged, but a submission to the lesser
charge was accepted by the prosecu
tion. Many people, the governor says,
believed the man Innocent, and the
trial judge and solicitor now take the
view that the ten years' service is at
least sufficient punishment. The par
don is conditioned on good benavior.

should be just to the assured as well,
not requiring them to pay more than la

that they should be on a unit basis.

POLICE HUE SKEPTICAL
CONCERNING ROBBERY
Capt. McMahon Thinks Theatri
cal Thief and Press Agent"
Arc One.
According to the declrataion of cer
tain persons connected with the Acad
emy of Music, an attempt was made to
rob that theater Monday night.
The thieves, if thieves there were,
were most considerate, being careful
not to break anything and not even
stealing so much as a single ticket.
The police are of the opinion that
the alleged cracksmen were rank ama
teurs, and very foolish ones at that. It
being generally knowns that Ihe funds
of the theater are locked ut> in a burg
iur-proof vault when the house closes
each night.
Captain of Detectives McMahon says
lie thinks lie detects the fine hand of
the press agent In the alleged robbery.
“It seems to me that some one tries to
rob ofie of the theater* about every J
three month*,” said ha. "Somehow
they never tret anythin* and never
leave any.trail. I am skeptical.”

lay Smooth Paving of
Broad St.
It 1« generally regarded improb
able that the resolution arranging for
an appropriation of $50,000 to be used i
in the smooth paving of Broad street .
will be acted upon for some time. The j
measure was presented to the Com- ;
mon Council Monday night by Morgan !
R. Mills, and Is part of the "bigger and ,
better Broad street" plan. Prompt ac- J
tlon on it will be prevented by lack of 1
funda.
Money has not yet been approprl
ated for the laying of the proposed
deep sewer along the north side of
Adams street. T'ntil this work has j
been done City Engineer Bolling de
clares It would be folly to attempt to
smooth pave the thoroughfare, ns it :
would be necessary to dig It up again. j
Several members of the Council
think Mr. Mills' resolution tnsy be put
into effect next spring.
