Colored Man of Vanccboro Omitted
To Take Out Government
License
CLAIMED HE WASN'T GUILTY
But Uncle Sam't Men .Had Clear
Case Against Him, So Proba .....
blc Cause Was Found. .
Samuel Willis, colored, of Vaureboro,
who was arrested last Wednesday
mornini; by Deputy United States Mar
shal Samuel Lilly on a warrant chanting
him with selling spirituous liquors with;
out a government license, was given' a
preliminary hearing yeeterday at noon
before l;nited States Commissioner
Charles B Hill.
Willis entered a plea of npt guilty of
the charges against him and made every
ort t dear hinisrli of the ( harge, but
from the testimony of three reliable
witnesses who swore that at dillerent
time- in the past few months they had
purchased "monkey nun" and brandv
from hi. n, probable cause was found and
the defendant bound over to the next
lenu of federal court tinder a bond of
two hunched dollars. He failed to
secure bail in this amount and was
placed in the county jail
The revenue men have had Willis un
der siirveilance for several months and
were only awaiting an opportune mo.
ment to place him in custody
This occurred last Wednesday and he
vas promptly nabbed. In order to see
that there was no hitch in the proceed
ings and the defendant released, U. S.

Richmond Jan 23 Oyster planting

Commission of Fisheries, evoressed in its
annual report to Governor Mann. A
decline in the industry is made evident
by the steady and r-xtens ve reduction

from planters which in itself presents
a problem with which the General As

'Squire Barrington Lays Down This
Rule on Hearing Knotty Case
Fron Dover.
W. G. ROUSE WINS BIG VICTORY
Man Set His Trousers On Fire,
Wouldn't Pay, So Chief Went
To Court
5ethcoe Avery, a young white man
whose home is at Dover, was gjvep a
bearing yesterday afternoon before
Justice cf the Peace W. R. Barrington
on a warrant charging him with destroy
ing a pair of trousers owned fy Chief of
Police Vf. G. Rouse of that place. The
young man was found guilty of the
charge and the sentence of the coutt was
that he pay for the trousers and also piy
the costs of the case.
Last Christmas dav Avery and sev
eral of his companions were celebrat
ing the occasion wi;h fireworks. 'I In-
Chief of Police hove in sight during their
carousal and ordered : nein ui teas'
tiring. , '1 he command went unheeded
and in de'ia.nce young Avery cut loose
ah the guardian of.the law with a cannon
cracker. His aim was true and just as
the missile struck the leg of the chief
there was an explosion. Upon inves
tigating 'the damage, the olhcer found
that a large hole had been burned in
his trousers.
The accident would doubtless have
passed unheeded hut the fact that the
Chief had that morning donned his
Sunday-go-to-meeting suit and was
arrayed in all his glory. He calleri upon
Avery and requested that he make resti
tution for the damage done to his appar
el. Instead of oflering to pay the dam
ages, Avery gave the officer a line of
back-talk. This was the last straw
and the Chief immediately swore out a
warrant against the ofiendcr and had
him summoned before 'Squire Barring
ton. After the trial Avery put up the
necessary wherewithal to cover all
dainag and the case was closed.
fesses that in phnting there is to be
found "discouragement" yeir by year
while in l he matter of public workers the
proepects are very gratifying."
Thit s.tuation presents aserious prop
osition to the State. A larrger part of
the revenues from the fish and oyster
industry comes "from renting oyster
planting grounds as a matter of fact,
more than half. Of the S71.103.S1 col
lected during the past year for the
State,$43,t22 camcfrc m renting ground
for the cultivation of oysters. Re
duction in p ant ng means cutting down
th s revenue and if the time comes, as
nredicted by the commission, when the

the'I.egislature will be obliged to tike
some action.

ture upon that issue.
Re-Election In Doubt.
Senator Warren is now hurrying to
Cheyenne in the hope of saving his scat
in the Senate. He wa telegraphed by
by his friends to make all possible haste
in leaving Washington, and he lost no
time. He turned his bark upon his
opponents in Washington to face a
new set of faces at home
If Senatoe Warren should be defeated
in Wyoming, all talk of an investigation
of his alleged violations will, of course,
be dropped. Should he triumph at
home, however, hi; enemies openly de
clare that they will ask the Senate to in
vestigate his record, whether that body
yields to the demand or not.
In making the charges against Sena
tor Warren's company, the House com
mittee vindicates the agents of the De
partment of the Interior and trie Lite
Secretary Allen Hitchcock. President
Rooseyelt forced Secretary Hitchcock
out of his cabinet becaese the Interior
Department charged Roosevelt's friend,
Senator warren, with participation in
wholesale land frauds.
In its report upon the Warren case the
House committee found that the com
pany of which the Senator is the hend
had taken up and fenced in for cattfe-
raising thousands of acres of land
which belongs to the Government
This violation, it is charged, related
to the inclosure ol property in the Gov
ernment's half of land reserved for fu
ture ditribution.
In parcelling out public lands the
Government divides it into "cross
sections," in much the same way that a
checkerboard is designeJ. The black
spaces on this property checkerboard
arc reserved whereas the white spaces
are turned over to prrVate interests.
The Warren company, v hith owns a vast
acreage of the white cross-sections
has. it is charged, fenced in also an enor
mous area of the Government's sec
tions.
These charges had been pending
against Senator Warren and his asso
ciates, for years. Secretary Hitchcock
who was appointed to the Cabinet
by President McKinley, first sifted them
and carried the results to President ' '
Roosevelt, Shortly after McKinley 'a
death. Senator Warren vehemently. ,
denied that his cattle occupied Gov-y '
ernmeoti, lary'Stj and lr. Rooseveljt,
sustained1 him "by forcing Mr. Hitch V? .
cocV out of the Cabinet. V,,'
Since then the case hns rested in the .
Interior Deoartment files. Wvominz
people have come to Washington froin
time to time to demand paction. against;
the Senator, but they have not been cor I ; "
dially received, Not until Democo- -
tif House -was elected wa there any .
serious aeffor made to get t the facts, '
