FARMER KILLED OVER LINE FENCE Feud Between Families Results in Three Deaths and One Hurt. Three men are dead and one is in a hospital as the result of a gun fight at Allingdale, near Weston, W. Va., Sunday. John Mammon, Josepa Fletcher and Ernest Bailey, farmers, of Nicholas county, were killed. Matson Hammon is injured.

When the men met yesterday the quarrel was renewed. John Mammon and Fletcher were killed instantly. Patrick Dodrin, a brother-in-law of Fletcher, was anvested after the shooting and is in jail charged with being a participant. THE PENSY SYSTEM NOTIFIES ROADS THE PENSY SYSTEM NOTIFIES ROADS They Must Comply With Federal Re requirements or There Will be no Exchange The Pennsylvania railroad has notifi ed other railroads that it will no longer accept from lines with which it connects, any passenger cars which do not meet the requirements of the federal safety appliance acts. To meet the federal requirements for passenger cars, the Pennsylvania railroad has, since the details of the laws were made known in 1911, been adding to its cars the appliances demanded. All cars have now been equipped at a cost of $144,217. To equip its locomotives and passenger and freight cars with the safety appliances required under the federal laws will, when complete—the company has until July 1st, 1916, to equip its freight cars—cost the Pennsylvania railroad system $5,185,000 SMITH NOMINATED FOR CONGRESS Local Man Candidate On Socialistic Ticket-Opened Campaign Sunday At Harpers Ferry. Dr. E. L. Smith, the well-known West King street dentist, has been notified by E. H. Kitzner, of Clarksburg, state secretary of the Socialist party of West Virginia, that he has been by referendum primary elected to represent his party in the congressional race in the Second district at the general election this fall.

He opened his campaign yesterday at Harpers Ferry with an address in the opera house, and at the same time a local with a membership of 25 were formed. He predicts a big increase in the socialistic vote at the coming November election. He says, while he expects to conduct a vigorous campaign, he will not let it interfere with his lucrative dental practice, which he has been gradually building up for the past fifteen years.

CONGRESSMAN MOSS RENOMINATED TODAY CONGRESSMAN MOSS RENOMINATED TODAY Fourth District Congressman Says He Wants to Succeed Himself. PARKERSBURG, W. Va., July 23. —Representative Hunter H. Moss was renominated without opposition at a convention held here today by the Republicans of the Fourth district of West Virginia. Representative Moss is now serving his first term. FLY SWATTING IS URGED BY BUREAU Warm Weather Has Increased Flies; Swatting Only Remedy to Eliminate Them. "Swat the fly." That is the terse instructions of the health bureau to the public. Swatting the fly is declared the only means of coping with the "pest." Persistent swatting is bound to increase sanitary conditions and preserve health. The fly, it is pointed out by the health bureau, is the most persistent scaterer of germs and disease with which the modern city must contend. "in the early part of the summer, said an officer of the health bureau, "the cool weather kept down the number of flies and when the swatters started their campaign the city was probably freer of flies than at any time for years. However, the swatters apparently laid down on the job and when the warm weather came, flies started hatching out at an alarming rate. An energetic campaign to swat the flies in order to reduce the danger of spread of contagion by flies to a minimum is needed." THE COUNTY COURT INSPECTING SITES THE COUNTY COURT INSPECTING SITES For Bridges in Mill Creek District This Afternoon—Adjourn Until Saturday. This afternoon the county court is inspecting sites for bridges in Mill Creek district. The first is for a concrete bridge across Mill Creek, and the second is for a foot bridge near the residence of Judge George A. Whitmore. The court was accompanied by the county engineer.

There will not be any sessions held until Saturday. OLD FIRE HORSES LEAVE DEPARTMENT "Grandpa" and "Monkey" Will Make no More Runs—New Truck Arrives Monday "Grandpa" and "Monkey," the old fire horses have made their last run, and have assisted for the last time in saving property, for today they were taken from the department and placed in Owen's livery stable so the building could be arranged for the reception of the new truck, which Ryneal Hose Company No. 1 hopes to have by next Monday. The horses arrived here January 17, 1906, after having seen service at the World's Fair held in St. Louis. During their stay in the city they have made hundreds of trips and helped in saving much valuable property. But they have grown old, and must give way to the auto truck. It is reported that Hon. George Ryneal, Jr., will take the horses to his farm, and let them spend the remainder of their days in peace. Until the new truck arrives No. 3 truck will be at the fire station.

LONDON, July 23.—A suffragette caused great excitement today just before reconvening of the Home Rule conference at Buckingham, when she slipped through the leaders at the entrance and threw herself before the conferees yelling, "votes for women." While an attempt was being made to arrest her she scratched several policemen. The woman declared the "civil war is now at a close unless the radicals adequately meet the claims of Ulster." Today's conference lasted two hours. After adjournment. Asquith reported to the King the proceedings and the conferences will be continued. It was feared that they would be broken, but the crisis was averted. NEW PANTS FACTORY BEGINS ON MONDAY Machinery Shipped Today and Fifty People Will be Employed First of the Week. Next Monday morning the old Shenandoah Pants Factory will open for business with at least fifty people at work, and within thirty days the company hopes to have 200 employees working full time. After spending some time at the plant Wednesday receiving applications and inspecting the building the representatives were so well pleased over the prospects that they wired their machinists who arrived in the evening, and last night the building was thoroughly inspected and plans formulated for installing the machinery. Today the machinery was shipped by express, and upon its arrival no delays will be experienced in placing it so all things can be ready for the opening on Monday. Tomorrow and Saturday the machinists will be busy installing the machinery, and the manager arranging his work. Those whose applications have been acted upon favorably will be notified to report for duty Monday morning. The management is highly elated over the prospects and believes that a great manufacturing institution can be built up. COMMISSIONER TO MAKE STATE DRY COMMISSIONER TO MAKE STATE DRY Blue Cays Dealers Who Ship Liquor Into the State Will be Prosecuted. Fred O. Blue, commissioner of prohibition, has ordered all prosecuting attorneys in West Virginia to bring action against liquor dealers who ship intoxicants into the state in defiance of the law which prohibits solicitation of liquor orders through circulars or by personal representatives. Large shipments of liquor have been received in West Virginia since the prohibitory amendment became operative, carrying companies having been organized in some border towns, it is alleged, to deliver the orders secured by dealers residing outside the state. ROYAL COMMISSION WILL TOUR CANADA Object Is to Make Inquiry Into Trade and Other Condi- MONTREAL, July 23.—The Dominions Royal Commission, of which Sir Edgar Vincent is chairman, is due to arrive today at Rimouski. The commissioners will proceed immediately to Newfoundland, returning to Sydney on August 6. They will subsequently make a tour of all the principal cities of Canada, ending at Victoria on October 5. They will then return to England to complete their report. The visit to Canada will complete the active work of the Dominion's Royal Commission, which has been intrusted to the imperial government with the important task of making first-hand inquiry into trade and other conditions in all parts of the British empire with a view to the future enactment of laws and the conclusion of trade and other agreements that will be to the material benefit of the various dominions. The work of the commission was commenced more than a year ago with a visit to Australia and New Zealand. Having returned to England and completed their report on these two countries, the commissioners, on February 7 last, sailed for South Africa. A month ago they returned from Cape Town to England and have now come to Canada to take up the last and most important part of their work. The investigations of the commission cover an exceedingly wide range of questions relating to empire development and organization. The distribution of immigration and plans for improved communications between the different parts of the empire are two of the most important matters receiving attention. In official circles the work of the commission is generally regarded as the most practical step that has yet been taken to link the component parts of the empire together in a manner thoroughly consistent with British policy. THE GENERAL MAY START NEWSPAPER It is Rumored that General Elliott May Soon Get Back in the Game. Rumors come from Charleston that General C. D. Elliott may re-enter the newspaper field following his retirement from the office of adjutant general this week. A report in the Charleston Mail is to the effect that Mr. Elliott stated that he had not decided on what line of business he would take up on leaving the state's service, but it also stated that the General may take up ewspaper work in either Charleston or Parkersburg. It was also stated that should this move be taken the paper to be published under his promotion would be Progressive in principle. The Mail also declared that while General Elliott admitted that he had considered certain newspaper properties no definite step had been taken by him towards taking one over. General Elliott has been "around the horn" in the newspaper game and would no doubt make one prosper under his leadership. “he Dioneer i3ress Devoted to the Moral, Religious and Financlal Development of Humanity.

Theodoro Roosevelt being Provident and knowing all about the starting of the Panama Canal, the Hay-Pauncefote treaty and the relation of this county to Colombia, offered to go before the Senate Committee on the Colombin treaty, for the sole purpose of explain- ing what seems to be a tie-up to under- stand. Knowing all about it as T.

POLITICS SIZZLE IN BUCKEYE STAT With the Primary Two Weeks O: Much Uncertainty Is In Evidence. COLUMBUS, O... July 25.—Politics in the Buckeye state has now reached the boiling point. Though the state primary election is only two weeks off, much uncertainty still hangs over the nominations for United States senators on both the Republican and Democratic sides. On the Republican side it is apparent that the state organization is supporting former Lieutenant Governor Warren G. Harding for senators former State Senator David Tod of Youngstown, for governor, Albert H. Morrill, of Cincinnati for lieutenant governor, and Charles A. Reid, now Republican floor leader in the House, for secretary of state. There is a general feeling that Harding will win the senatorial nomination, but Congressman Frank B. Willis, who is opposing Tod for the governorship, is proving so strong among the rural Republicans that he may break the orgiaziztion's "slate" and win that nomination. Former Senator Foraker's friends, however, are as confident as they are loyal to him and are claiming his nomination as certain. Former Congressman Ralph D. Cole, of Findlay, the third candidate for the Republican nomination for senator, is still bitterly, opposing both Foraker and Harding. The rival candidates of Foraker and Harding have brought about a situation that even the most astute politicians find it difficult to "dope" out. Harding has always been a close political and personal friend of former Senator Foraker, and stood by the senator when it was proposed to retire him in order to send Mr. Burton to the senate six years ago. A strong division of opinion exists as to the results of this close relationship on the senatorial contest. Because Harding stands well with Foraker supporters throughout the state, many persons take the view that his candidacy is bound to cut in heavily on the Foraker strength. $Q_{n}$ the other hand, there are many persons who seem to give credence to the charge of former Congressman Cole that Harding is merely acting as a stalking horse for Foraker. The situation in regards to the Democratic senatorial contest has been simplified by the appointment of John H. Clarke to be Federal judge to succeed William L. Day resigned. Clarke, a prominent attorney, was considered the strongest entry in the Democratic race for the senatorship. His withdrawal has left the contest between Timothy S. Iogan, now attorney general of the state, and former Congressman John L. Lentz, of Columbus. There is a bird candidate—John L. Zimmerman, a wealthy manufacturer, of Springfield—but he is not looked upon as likely to be nominated. As between Iogan and Lentz the chances would seem to be in favor of Hogan, unless he anti-Catholic sentiment, which is reported to be growing again in the state, should prove to be more point than it seems to be now. Six months ago it appeared en- in that Governor Cox would be re- nominated to head the Democratic ticket. The friends of the gov- nor declare that his renomination will a certainty, though they genc- rally admit that the oposition is more formidable than they had antic- pated. Congressman John J. Whitacre, who is leading the Democratic opposition to the renomination of Governor Cox, filed petitions bearing only a few more names than required by law to secure the admission of his name to the primary election ballot, but his friends claim that he really had over one hundred thousand signatures to his petitions and omitted filing the surplus petitions in order not to reveal to the governor the source of his weakness. Of course if anything like this is true it means trouble for Governor Cox in his efforts for re-election. The vote in the primary election will give a reliable "line" on this situation. If Congressman Whitacre receives as many as one hundred thousand votes for the nomination, it will be considered a strong indication of the pos CRIME INCREASE VERY PUZZLING California Sociologists and Crimiologists Can't Figure It Out. SAN FRANCISCO, July 24.—California sociologists and crimiologists are puzzled today over the increase in the state's prison population. Figures just made public by the state prison board show 3,937 convicts, including those on parole, or 450 more that at the corresponding time a year ago. This is the largest increase in the state's history. Some are inclined to attribute the increase to the working of the parole law but a majority of the prison board members disagree with this view. They point out that of 59 men paroled in April only nine violated parole and only two of these by committing crimes. This is not considered a bad percentage. Of a total of 649 men on parole, 643 are employed at wages aggregating $23,365.75 monthly. SOCIETY MEN AND WOMEN ARRESTED SOCIETY MEN AND WOMEN ARRESTED Members of Slumming Parties Arrested for Disorderly Conduct in Red Light District CHICAGO, Ill., July 14.—Twenty fashionably gowned women and escorts, members of three slumming parties, were arrested in a raid of Jordan's cafe in an old red light district, bundled into a patrol wagon, despite their hysterical protests, and booked at the police station as "inmates of disorderly resorts." When the police entered the resort they were attacked by a woman. When all of the inmates were placed under arrest there was the wildest confusion. A girl, who was playing the piano, jumped from a secondary window and many society women tried to effect escape by the fire escapes, while the men fought the police. All furnished cash bail, and are not expected to appear for trial. sible defeat of Governor Cox, for while it is likely that a considerable number of these Democrats who object to the nomination of the governor, will vote for him if he is nominated, it is regarded as not at all likely that enough of them can be brought into the party line to carry the election. Whitacre's leading supporters are claiming that he will win the nomination, but outside of the close circle of Whitacre's supporters, no such claim is made.

CANAL TO OPEN AUG.15 FOR COMMERCIAL USE Will be Available to Ships Drawing Not Over 30 Feet of Water—To be Deepened Later. WASHINGTON, July 24.—Secretary Garrison has announced that the Panama canal will be opened for commerce to vessels, not drawing more than thirty feet of water on and after August 15. "On that date," he said, "Col. Goebals will inaugurate the commercial use of the canal by sending a government boat through. There will be no ceremonies, but American newspapers are welcome to have representatives present. The others on the boat will be determined between now and the time mentioned. "The official opening of the canal will be in March, 1915. Announcement will be made when more than thirty feet of water has been secured." When the government boat, the Cristobal, steams on August 15 from its slip to the Atlantic entrance of the canal, it will mark the conclusion by American enterprise of the greatest engineering task ever undertaken. Some things remain to be done to perfect the water way. The channel through the Culebra Cut must be deepened and wideened so that it will not be necessary for the great liners and battleships to pass through the tricky "slides" at Cucharucha and Bold Hill in single file. Much excavation must be done in both approaches. Though, with thirty feet of water in the canal, some of the dreaded noughts might pick their way through after August 15, Secretary Daniels said last night he would not be likely to order any such movement except in an emergency.

SEVERE MEASURES FOR WHEAT REST Inconspicuous Insect that Causes Large Annual Loss of Grain. The little insect that causes an annual loss in this country of thousands of bushels of wheat and known as the "oat aphis" can scarcely be controlled when once it has ggotten however, serious outbreaks can be prevented. This insect often escapes notice but it is probably the most widely distributed of the important of the plant lice which attack wheat and oats, and its deprudations are only excelled by the so-called "green bug." How the oat aphis may be combated by a destruction of its breeding places, by cultural methods and by spraying is outlined in bulletin (No. 112) shortly to be issued by the United States Department of agriculture. As the oat aphis does not ordinarily appear suddenly in great swarms as does the "green bug" it has never been considered a pest of great importance. It is easily overlooked by the casual observer, especially in the fall when it occurs at the base of the plants and on the roots. However, it is usually always present on the wheat and observations lead investigators to consider that these parasites weaken the plants and decrease the yield to an important etent, even though they may not be conspicuous, and the decrease in yield not enough to be recognizable as in the case of the "green bug." Pictures of the pest and detailed description of its appearance are found in the new bulletin. The adult wingless Insect is about the size of a pin head and is yellowish green to olive green in color. The winged insect has a black head, the abdomen being green and the antennae black. The eggs are laid in crevices of the bars or between the leaf bud and twig of the apple and when first deposited are pale greenish in color. They soon change, however, to a shining black and retain this color until they hatch in the spring. History of the Insect. The oat aphis occurs on grains and grasses throughout the summer. The eggs are laid but once a year, in the fall. In the spring the eggs hatch, and throughout the summer there are 16 or more generations produced, all females. The last generation in the fall contains both males and females. As the weather becomes cooler some of the females seek th lower parts or roots of wheat and other plants of the grass family and here pass the winter, or the winged insects coming from the grain may seek such trees as the apple, the egg-laying females of this generation in turn depositing eggs on the twigs and branches. Mild winters and cool springs seem most conductive to the increase of this pest. The oat aphis multiplies rapidly when the temperature varies between 40 and 50 degrees. Destroy Breeding Place. The little wheat pest thrives best in rank-growing grain as in spots where manure piles or straw stacks have stood. These places are usually the center of infestation and the lice may be found there even dhring the winter. Therefore the volunteer growth of wheat that occurs in the vicinity of straw stacks or manure piles should be plowed under or otherwise destroyed late in the fall in order to destroy the plant-lice breeding thereon. In some cases it may be desirable to destroy this vegetation even earlier; that is, before the winter wheat is planted or at least before it makes any growth above ground. The pasturing of cattle in wheat and oat fields in Oklahoma and Texas during the late fall or early winter has proved a desirable method of destroying the breeding places of the pest. Cultural Methods. As in the case of many other grain pests, crop rotation is of much importance in the control of this aphis. Wheat fields should be located as far from the previous year's grain fields as possible, and especially should they be planted some dis- tance from standing straw stacks. It is also advisable to plant grain as far as possible from apple and other trees, which harbor the insect during the fall, winter and spring months. Spraying. Direct applications are hardly practicable in grain fields, but where only small areas are badly infested spraying with blackleaf-40 at the rate of 1 part of this insecticide to 900 parts of water, plus 1 pound of soap to each 100 gallons of spray liquid, will doubtless prove efficacious providing the application is thorough. Another method which might be adopted in localities where the aphides freely migrate and deposit eggs on apple, is sprucing such trees early in spring before the eggs hatch, preferably just previous to their hatching and while the trees are yet in a dormant condition, with commercial lime-sulphur mixture at the rate of 1 part of the mixture to 8 parts of water. The above remedial and preventive measures for this destructive parasite are all the more important because there is little hope of controlling it after it has once gained much headway and because, being so inconspicuous, it is liable to become present in great numbers before it is noticed. WILL TRANSFER THE GOVERNMENT Next Monday From Carbajal to Carranza At Tampico—Like Americans Better. WASHINGTON. July 23.—Report's of various conferences are to the effect that the transfer of the government from Carbajal to Carranza will be open next Monday at Tampico.

GUERRERO, Chihuahua, July 23. —Villa has revoked the appointments of Major Rodolpo Guerrero and Colonel Carlow Dominguez as brigade commanders of the constitutionalists army because of pressure brought by Carranba. The United States objected particularly to the appointment of Fierro, who is said to be responsible for the slaying of William S Benton, the British subject. Kindlier Feelings. MEXICO CITY. July 23. There are kindlier feelings toward the following the replacing of Washington's statue on the Public Square by order or President Carbapal. The Mexican press has demanded that reparation be made the Americans who suffered in the storming of the American Club and in other mob outbreaks. Carbajal is in complete control. The government officials charge that the reports about the city going to fall before Zapata were circulated by the clique's headquarters in Washington with a view to obtaining intervention. There is desultory firing at times on the outskirts of the city by mere bands who are making occasional attacks, but they have always been easily repulsed. DETECTIVE BURNS WASHINGTON.

STRINGENT ORDERS ABOUT THE DERAILS They Must Not be Used for Sidings. pany Says. According to orders issued on the Marchsburg division of the m. is the drummers are cautioned against the use of deran tracks' for drumming. Though this practice is by no means common, it has made great advances in the last few months and concerns to become a permanent feature is not nipped in the bud. This practice eliminates, as it were, the real purpose of putting in the drummers. In some cases it has been noted that when derails are installed on side tracks adjacent to the main tracks, they are covered with the cars and will never serve the purpose for which they were installed. Perhaps the most common misuse of the detail is on those which are long enough to hold a few cars. In these places, it has been seen that traunmen back cars into them, fill them to their capacity and then close the derail leaving the main track open. The derails were not installed to serve the purpose of a side track and must not be used for such except in emergency. This is the first occasion for such orders on the Martinsburg division and it is hoped that it will be the last notice necessary. Derails are now very frequent on this division since the spring, and it is necessary that the trainmen be instructed in the manner in which they are to be handled. WONDERFUL GROWTH OF THE IVY VINE Covers Whole End of Big Factory Building in Season—Beautiful Evergreen Coating on Walls On the north end of the plant of the Norwalk Motor Car Company a stalk of American Ivy, commonly known as "Virginia Creeper," planted a year ago, from a small vine this spring, has covered the whole end, hundreds of square feet of the big brick wall with a beautiful evergreen leaf coating. It is truly marvelous how this climbing shrub with its fibrous rootlets will find a clinging place on bare walls, and all the year presents a pretty picture of vegetable life, all summer long in deep tich green leaves, with yellow flowers and black and yellow berries, and in autumn the foliage turns red. Its vigorous growing qualities and beauty has so popularized this shrub that it is planted promiscuously throughout this country, in town and country places alike. Plant it, and in the words of the immortal poet, "Direct the clasping ivy where to climb." FIRST MEXICAN WAR CLAIM FILED By Congressman Brown in Behalf of Mrs. Harriet L. Gilmartin, of Davis, W. Va. The first West Virginia claim against the Mexican government for the death of an American citizen was filed by Congressman W. G. Brown today with the state departments. It is the claim of Mrs. Harriet L. Glimartin. of Davis, for the death of her husband, whose life was lost in the Cumbro tunnel disaster of February 4, last. No specific amount is claimed and the amount Mexico will have to pay will be determined later, when the terms of settlement are agreed to. It is asserted that the Cumbro tunnel was blown up by Mexicans while a passenger train was in it and that all the passengers and crews lost their lives. BUTTE LABOR WAR CHIEF TOPIC OF Western Federation Which Convered Today In Annual Conven- DENVER, July 29.—The recent disention in Butte in the ranks of the Western Federation of Miners which resulted in several serious riots, was the principle topic of discussion when the annual convention of the Federation was called to order here by President Charles H. Moyer. It had been expected that the Michigan copper strike would occupy most of the attention of the meetings out the critical Butte situation over shadowed it. President Moyer was summoned to Butte last month as soon as the trouble began and remained in Montana during all of the exciting days which followed. It is expected he will make a personal report to the convention regarding the situation and recommended a course of action. In past conventions the Butte delegation has been nearly the largest in attendance. The Calumet copper strike will also be discussed at length. President Moyer and Auditor C. H. Tanner will report on the final outcome of the trouble, with especial reference to their experiences at Hancock when they were deported by a mob of armed men. One hundred and fifty delegates are here. The conevntion will last two weeks. The Butte situation, which is compelling the attention of the Federation delegates is outlined by John M. O'Neill, editor of the official paper of the Western Federation a follows: Dissatisfaction has long existed among the 8,900 members of the Butte local. Charges were made that Ntional officers were perpetuating themselves in office, and as a consequence were able to own rich ranches and summer homes in Colorado and Nevada. Special assessments for the Michigan strike were excessive National officers and adherents of the Federation say they are prepared to meet these complaints. They admit that local officials of the union at Butte were lacking in the performance of their duties but say that is because members of the Butte organization incorporated a clause in the local by-laws making it impossible for a union official to serve two terms. As to the exorbitant assessments it is pointed out that the total assessments for the twenty-one years of the union's existence has been only $74.50. This is a per capita assessment of $3.50 a year. Concerning the charge that national officers are running a steam roller for their re-election, it is declared President Charles Moyer recently arranged for the election of officers by a referendum. National officers of the Western Federation asset that membes of the I. W. W. ahe responsible for all the trouble at Butte. At the present convention a committee will be appointed to visit Butte and conduct an election of new officers for the local there. President Moyer predicts that the "second union" fomed at Butte under the leadership of Muckie McDonald will soon fall. Affiliation with the American Federation of Labor will be denied, they say, since only one organization of a craft is admitted. a silver spoon mash a quart of red Rich Raspberry Ice Cream—With raspberries and stir into them a pound of granulated sugar.

TWO ENGINEERS ARE REMEMBERED Vice-President Thompson of the B. & O. Rods. Rewards Men For Efficiency. Engineers Francis Hines and Jas. C. Carey, Fireman Thomas A. Gleasn and W. L. O'Brien, of the third division B. & O., were called to Keyser yesterday to appear before the company's officials for a "hearing" treaty to their surprise they were set by A. W. Thompson, third vice president of the B. & O., who pre-ceeded both Hines and Carey with oil cans with their names engraved on each and Gleason and O'Brien with copper torches. The presentation of these "honoraria" to the employees of the B. & C. faithful and efficient service recalled an incident upon which the men at the time it occurred paid in the heat to, but which was responsible for their rewards. While taking their engines over the 17-mile grade some time ago, a stranger spoke in a complimentary manner of the neat appearance of the engines. He conversed with the engineers and firemen for a short time about current railroad events, the care of engines, etc., and then left them without telling them who he was. The incident made little impression upon the men, except that the "stranger" showed a surprising knowledge of engines and railroad affairs in general. When the men answered the summons at Keysoy they were surprised to find the "stranger" who had complimented them on their efficiency no other than Vice President Thompson, who was making an unheralded inspection of the road and rewarding the efficient employees with these little tokens. The locomotives in charge of Engineer Carey and Fireman O'Brien is well known "all along the line." It bears the name of "Nellie," and her number is 1788. It is familiar to B. & O. men as the engine which always "has a shine on." SECRETARY BRYAN FAVORS SUFFRAGE Asks No Political Right He Is Unwilling That His Wife Shall Enjoy. WASHINGTON, July 14.—Secretary Bryan, in a formal statement is sued last night, came out for woman suffrage. He declared that he would ask no political right for himself that he was not willing to grant his wife and announced his intention of supporting the proposed state constitutional amendment extending the franchise to women to be voted upon in Nebraska next November. Woman, Mr. Bryan said, had proved herself equal to ever responsibility imposed upon her and would not fail society in this emergency. Above all arguments in favor of giving her the ballot he placed the right of the mother to a voice in mounding the environment of her children. "The mother," the secretary said, "can justly claim the right to employ every weapon which can be made effective for the protection of those whose interests she guards, and the ballot will put within her reach all of the instrumentalities of government, including the police power."
