elimination of Republican chances In
that district.
It Is not probable that the Repubii
,-an.t will be further contested in the
Ninth, it being generally conceded that j
i Mr. Ftmirt was the only tnnti in the
; State who could have rut down the
| Republican majority to such an appal!
I tng extent, ant! as the ex-corporation
| commissioner has. accord in it to his
' friends, larger prospects in view, he
will hardly make another attempt to;
I defeat Congressman Biemp.
Previous to the last gubernatorial
contest Mr. Stuart announced his can
i tiidacv for the chief executive's chair .
j rind made every arrarerment for a '
I v Igorous campaign, hut was called j
I mv. iy on account of the illness of his ;

No Further Effort.
Now one of the biggest factors in ;
Virginia politics, he is regarded as tut ;
avowed candidate for the next elec- j
tion, and for that reason is not ox- ,
; ecied to make any further effort to '
"redeem the Ninth."
According to the present plan, the
Fifth will be placed on the safe side
l of the line by giving up Carroll and
Grayson counties from the Sixth. Car
roll and Grayson, now the “sore spots”
in the- Fifth district, usually give a ,
Republican majority of something like !
i Sdd and 600. respectively, while the •
"good" counties of Halifax and Char
lotte may b- counted on to pile up
such heavy Democratic majorities that,
1 the scattering Republican vote in the
rest of the Fifth will be overwhelmed.
Then, to recompense the Sixth dls
• trict for the loss of two of its coun
ties. the Ninth will be called upon to
give up Giles and Ihiiaski in return for
Carroll and Grayson received from the
, Fifth, Giles and Pulaski can be count
I ed on to give a fair Democratic vote,
their respective majorities in Tues
day's election being about 225 and 275.
The bills will, of course, be fought
to the latter end by the Republicans
In the Fifth district, as they will not
; see their chances of success taken
i from them without a struggle. The
Ninth district will be, >>n its own ae
i count, probably indifferent, being now
sure of Republican success, but will
be Inclined, it is believed, ot throw
< Its weight against the red 1st rioting In
I order to do what it can ror the Re
publican party in the Fifth.
Will
That the combined weight of the
Fifth and Ninth districts will have
little effect upon the ultimate passage
of the bill is admitted because the
Democratic members of the legisla
ture, realising that the Fifth has
nothing to lose and everything t« gain
from the Democratic standpoint, and
realizing that the Ninth district may
be listed as a Republican district
whether Carroll and Grayson are
added or not, will vote solidly to as
sure Democratic success in the Fifth
and eliminate the bitter righting
which has characterized Fifth district
campaigns.
"The Democrats are splendidly or
ganized In the Fifth district, but they
won only by the skin of their teeth,"
declared one of the most prominent
politicians in the house of delegates
when outlining the plan to a repre
sentative .of The Richmond Virginian.
"We are constantly in danger of
losing the district, and consequently
the fighting It bitter. Whereas the
Ninth is normally Republican, and al
though I would be the laat person
in the Stale to give It up if I believed
even a chance of success remained,
1 am frank to say that inasmuch as
Mr. Stuart could not redeem It no one
can, and until the Republicans tight,
amortg themselves and cut each
other’s throats 1 do not think that
the Democrats will have a chance.
Consequently in order to put the
Fifth beyond peradventure of danger
the lines must be changed. This was
discussed at the last session of the
legislature hut postponed beeaue of
the census this year. At the next ses
sion everything will be ripe, and a*
the plans have already been agreed
upon by several of the leaders the
redietrlctlng will be put through with
out fall. ’ _ .
Cut Oil.
•The entire west corner of. the State :
will then be Republican. The Repub
.
md Halifax added the Fifth will be
uilid. Nothing can hurt it, espoclxllyj
is In getting these counties It will
;lvc up Grayson and Carroll, rt*fcu!ar j
itcpubllcan Strongholds. With the
Democratic counties of Giles and Pu- I
luskl added to what i£ will have re- !
roaming the Sixth district need have
no fear of piling up good Democratic
majorities, and the Ninth, until mime
Internal rupture breaks out, will be
left to Itself.
"By making everything in the Fifth
district safe the Democrat!*, at the
yreper time, will b- in better po»l
tion to make another fight in the
Ninth. I do not believe that anything
can be done in that part of the State
for some years to come, but should
a good, strong insurgent come out
against Mr. Slemp and rut hie vote in
he If a Democrat could win.
"Once In charge of the district the
Democrats would soon change the
faces now scon at the pie' table, en,1
might then by some means make the
ill drift Democratic. This tight cuulu
not he made, how ver. if the Repub
licans and JDem >■ arts were lighting at
the same time in the Fifth, for to win
the Ninth the Democrats must put
forth their every effort, and this can
not be done If the fighting is divided.

Everybody's Business.
Wheeling is not a large city and one

bors knowing and talking, ns is possi
ble in a, metropolis. Wheeling began
to d>* considerable talking shortly af
ter John Scher.k left. John Schenks
$10,000 automobile is one of the sights
and was as prominent an asset of the
city as the old r.-t’di-Ts' monument in
front of the court house.
When Wbeelln; '* leading automobile
was seen joy riding about the streets
of the city dur'ng Schenk's absence
gossip took a h nd. There was talk
about a young in;n who was seen in
the machine. Mrs. Schenk also rode
In it.
Intrigue Scented.
The accusation that the state has
brought against Mrs. Schenk Is based
mi the prosecutii r.'s charge that there
alysls. The poison was found,
was an intrigue between Mrs. Schenk
and the young man; that the plot to
poison Schenk .was to be the final step
In a social evasion, that tlie chauf
feur of the Schenk autotnoblle had
been asked to drive the machine Into
a ditch when Schenk rode In it; that
a promise of SI,000 was made to a
nurse if she would give Schenk a pois
oned pill; that she was promised an
other $1,000 if she would find the key
to the strong box that contained
Schenk's papers; and that poi.on was
found in the Hthia water, that had
been prescribed for him.
The prosecution claims to be able to
make a complete story. one fact con
necting with the other, in the romance
and tragedy of the Schenks.
Schenk became til shortly after he
returned from his trip around the
world. He received treatment at his
home, but failed to recover. Hr. Hupp
who attended him threatened to give
up the case unless he was given full
charge. The physician's suspicions
had been aroused. He ordered the
millionaire sent to the hospital. At
once Schenk began to get well.
. Against the protests of Dr. Hupp.
Schenk was taken back home and Im
mediately had a relapse. Dr. Hupp
consulted with Schenk's brothers and
told them his suspicions. The lithia
water that h* had been given was sent
t<> Johns Hopkins University for an
alysis The poison was found. 1
Again Schenk was taken to the hos
pital.
Wanted Him at Home.
Again Schenk was taken to the hos
pital. Mr.-. Schenk fought to have
him brought back home. It was at
this point that the police intervened.
At midnight two dues ago they
called at the home and told her that
she was under arrest.
"What for?” she asked.
"You arc charged with poisoning
your hiuphaud.” replied the officers.
"It's a lie.” she cried. ”1 love
him!”
"I will go with you. but lirst 1 want
to take my children where they will
be safe.”
They were awakened and brought
to the home of a neighbor. The moth
er kissed them; returning home, put
on her most valuable jewelry and her
furs, valued at $10,000. and started
off lor jail.
When the brothers of Schenk be
came suspicious they hired private
detectives to shadow the wife. They
dismissed the chauffeur and in his
place put a chauffeur who was also
ft detective. This man, according to
the prosecution, will have sensationil
testimony to give. Another detective,
a woman, who was put into the house
ao a nurse, will testify.
"There Is almolutely" no truth in the
charges against Mrs. Schenk," save
Attorney O’Brien, on whose advice
she has refused to say anything.

W. M. BOYENTON ACCISED OF
RECEIVING DEPOSITS AFTER
BANK HAD FAILED.
NEWPORT NEWS, VA., Nov. 12.—
Considerable excitement was caused
In Hampton at a late hour last even
ing whon>it became Known that war
rants had been received for the arrest
of WTiilam H. Boyenton from officials
of Fauquier county. Mr. Boyenton Is
the senior member of the banking
firm of Boyenton & Company, which
firm conducted a bank In Hampton
being at Cpperville. in Fauquier coun
ty. Tile firm jailed a few weeks ago
and the warrant charges Mr. Boyen
ton with receiving deposits when he
knew the bank was Insolvent. The
warrent Is sworn out by Common
wealth's Attorney, J. A. C. Keith, of
Fauquier, at the instance of C. W.
Wiitsnire. who affirms that he made a
deposit In the U'pperville bank of
$250.U» on or about October 1ft.
Mr. Boyenton surrendered himself
at ti:20 o'clock last evening as soon
as he heard that the warrant was out
for hint and was Immediately ad
mitted to bail to appear in Fauquier
on November 2!!th, the bond being
fixed at $2,500.
Mr. Keith, the Commonwealth's At
torney of Fauquier county, came to
Hampton on Tuesday but did not
disclose the nature of his errand to
anyone except Commonwealth’s At
torney Edgar Montague. After con
sulting with John Weymouth and W.
C. L. Taliaferro, receivers named by
the United States Court, Mr. Keith de
termined that circumstances Justified
his proceeding with the warrant. It
is understood that the feeling against
Mr. Boyenton in Fauquier Is quite bit
ter, It being alleged that he lived ex
pensively.
Mr. Boyenton was postmaster of
Hampton for several years, te a Ma
son. Eik and member of other secret
orders and was generally popular. It
is not generally believed thae there
has been actual criminality in his
operations—the examination of the
books of his banks by the receivers
disclosing such lack of system and
care as to demonstrate that he did
not really know "where he was at.”
His third bank was located at Mld
dleburg. Louisa county. There has
as yet been no schedule of assets and
liabilities made up.
