"HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN" The Pioneer The THERE SHALL ESTABLISHED 1882 LAME DUCKS REACH WASHINGTON ON THEIR LAST TRIP SEVENTEEN SENATORS AND 70 ODD REPRESENTATIVES MAKE FINAL TRIP. MANY PROMINENT MEN HAVE BEEN RETIRED TO PRIVATE LIFE. SOME DOUBT EXISTS AS TO ATT TITUDE OF THE NEW MEM- BERS. (By United Press.) WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. - Seventeen members of the senate and 70-odd "lame-duck" members of the house today began their final legislative duties. When the spotlight fades March 4 on the Sixty-fourth congress, they will gather up their tegas and start for home and private citizenship. These "hame ducks" are those the populace turned thumbs down upon in the last election. Their service ranges anywhere from a little less than a year, in the case of Senator Tom Taggart, of Indiana, to 22 years in the cases of Senator Clarence D. Clark, of Wyoming, and Representative Sperkman, of Florida. Clarri ranking third in point of service in the senate and Sparkman fourth, in continuous service in the house. Perhaps the most conspicuous feature in the lineup of the prospectus has been is Senator John W. Kern one-time candidate for vice president and senate Democratic floor leader and chairman of the powerful committee on privileges. He went to make way for Harry S. New senator elect from Indiana, with James E. Jim—Watson, former whip of a recently Republican house, who brought on untimely end the senatorial service of "Tom" Taggart. W F. Kirby, of Arkansas, will succeed the late Senator Clarke, who died during the summer. Senator Chilton, of West Virginia, well-known here for his interest in blooded horses as well as for his legislative activities, will make way for Representative Howard Sutherland, Republican who fought his way from the house to the senate in two sessions. Senator Johnson, of Maine, carried to the senate on the Democratic side of 1919, will be succeeded next congress by Frederick Hale, son of the late senator from Maine. The defeat of Senator Blair Lee of Maryland, sealed two political fates for the present. He was defeated in the primaries by Representative David J. Lewis—"Father" Lewis of the parcel post. Lewis in turn was defeated by a Republican—Dr. Joseph L. France. Another of the old timers listed among the missing at the next session will be Senator du Pont, of Delaware. Du Pont is succeeded by J. O. Wolcott, Democrat. Four men among the new ones are of particular interest. Philander C Knox, former secretary of state and former senator, will replace Senator Oliver, Republican, also in the timelight last session when he was accused of having big war bribe holdings. He was not a candidate for reelection. Peter Goolet Gerry, of the upper strata of Newport, and a Democrat, will succeed Senator Lippitt, of Rhode Island, Republican. Political interest will center on Frank B. Kellogg—trust busting Kellogg of some years back—former governor and senator-elect from Minnesota, to succeed Senator Clapp, also Republican; and Senator-elect Hiram Johnson, of California—succeeding Senator Works. Likewise Republican, not a candidate for re-election. Of Kellogg and Johnson there is talk that they won't line up with the bord-shelled Republicans unless the lining up is done on their side of the street. The other senators now in their last session, with their successors to share MARTINSBURG. Martine, of New Jersey, Democrat, succeeded by J. S. Frelinghuyssen, Republican; O'Gorman, of New York Democrat, not a candidate, succeeded by Calder, Republican Catron, of New Mexico, Republican, not a candidate succeeded by Andreus A. Jones, Democrat, present assistant secretary of the interior, and Sutherland, of Utah Republican, defeated by William if King, Democrat. The house, by grace of the cauging favor of the country, lost its two nos, picturesque members and gain of another who bids fair to surpass in popular interest and on record. "Cyclone" Davis, toe of ruin and preparedness and friend of prohibition and channel shirts, will visit room for another Democrat from Texas—Daniel E. Garrett. Davis, with flowing whiskers and conversation, gained a measure of fame when in the Congressional Record he stated, "he was not a "coalar" Democrat and when in the house proper he later confessed he had fallen a victim to the gay and festive heckie. He says "booze and boodie" defeated him. "Alalia Bill" Murray, of Oklahoma, who jumped lightly into the gallery of immorals when at the Baltimore convention, asked how the Oklahoma negotiation stood, he replied: "We stand as a unit: separately." will be succeeded by T. D. Meixcown, Democrat. But the house's taste for the picturesque will be appeased with Miss Joanne frankin, of Montana, Republican, who succeeds Lame Duck Tom Moor, Democrat. Rep. Duncanan, of Illinois, Democrat, indicted in the Labor's Peace Council probe in New York during the hyphen activities last year, willade into the west in favor of Niels Dahl, (correction), Republican, Clyde Lavenner, Democrat, of the same state, who exchanged insults with the Navy League all last spring, is succeeded by William J. Graham, Republican. Charles H. Randall, of Los Angeles, will continue to represent the Prohibitionist party in congress, despite a tendency "repeatedly to call him a democrat and in some cases an independent." The political history of the next session depends on how the members having the balance of power—a Prohibitionist, a Socialist, a couple of independents and several members who may vote any way at all—shape up their party references. When the call is sounded for election of a speaker, the country will find whether the house really is Democratic or Republican. HAS SNIPED THE LIFE (By United Press.) LONDON, Nov. 15.—(By Mail.)—Trooper W. E. Sing, of Queensland, an Anzac veteran, who has bagged 201 snipers, never loses any sleep holding nocturnal arguments with his victims' ghosts. Sing sleeps a healthy slumber and his only complaint is that he doesn't get quite enough time. "It never made any difference difference in my personal feelings," said Sing today. "I felt that the Turks were out to get me, just as eager to accomplish the job as I was to put them off watch. "Nine Turks in one day was my best bag, I believe. I did have some regret that night when I erawled into my dugout for a few winks; regret that they were not Germans instead of Turks. For after all, we have found the Turk a pretty good sport and a game fighter. "The sniper feels when he tumbles an enemy out of a tree, or picks him off from behind a rock, that he is saving the lives of his own companions. He knows that if allowed to live that sniper may kill or injure an unlimited number of pals. Why, then, shouldn't a sniper sleep well after a successful day's work? Sing isn't through sniping yet. He learned to shoot while hunting kangaroos. ALL EYES TURNED ON FITZGERALD'S EMBARGO THREAT HIS THREAT HAS STIRRED UP A POLITICAL HORNET'S NEST AMONG CONGRESSMEN. DYING SESSION OF THE 64TH WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—Representative Fitzgerald and his threatened food embargo legislation was the center of interest when the 64th congress convened for its dying session at noon today. Fitzgerald's declaration late in November that he would introduce a resolution for a food embargo to keep products in the United States and reduce the cost of living stirred up a political hornet's nest. Aside from the possibility of the embargo itself, Fitzgerald's action, if he takes it, may portend a fight between supporters of President Wilson, who is against an embargo, and the Tammany delegation, whose leader is Fitzgerald. Both members and gallery in the house watched with interest for any indication of the attitude of the Tamany delegation toward the Democratic machine. Any move by the Tamanyfiles would be the more significant because they hold the balance of power in the house. Representatives from west and middle west farm districts were absolutely alert for any factional split on the threatened embargo resolution. They are opposed to it and have threatened that if it is introduced they will combat it with a retaliatory measure calling for an embargo on manufactured articles such as constitute the bulk of the exportations to Europe from the eastern manufacturing states. Facked galleries greeted the gavels of Speaker Clark and Vice President Marshall as chattering members of both houses, in most cases meeting for the first time since the eventful day in early September when they rushed through the Adamson eight-hour law, turned to hear the familiar admonition to "be in order." Little business was expected today, interest centered principally on the floor of the house and senate chambers and in the galleries a mass of color, its membership made up of members of the White House family, diplomats, families and friends of congress, and the populace crowding the public galleries. Senator Gallinger, and Senator Kern, Republican and Democratic floor leaders respectively, were named senate members of the joint committee to notify President Wilson that congress was ready to hear him. The house named as its members Majority Leader Kitchin. Minority Leader Mann and Representative Fitzgerald, chairman of the appropriations committee. No time is set for the President's message to congress. In the last few years this has been on the day following the convening which would be tomorrow, probably at 1. Whenever it is, the house and senate will arrange for a joint session in the big house chamber. While little business is in sight for today on the floor of either houses, there will be plenty of routine business principally the submission of the annual appropriation estimates of heads of the government departments. These budgets, totaling millions, will be the principal business during the short session. Some resolutions were to be introduced. AGNEW MAY MANAGE THE FREDERICK CLUB AGNEW MAY MANAGE THE FREDERICK CLUB Speedy Little Second Sacker May Succeed Jack Morrison as Feederick Pilot. "A meeting of the directors of the Frederick baseball club is scheduled to be held Wednesday, at which time the manager for the coming season will most likely be selected. The choice lies between Jack Morrison, who has thrice piloted the Marylanders, and "Rabbit" Agnew, who has cavorted around the keystone corner for the club'during the past two seasons. Many of the directors favor the retraining of Morrison and think he should be given another opportunity to show his ability as a "boss." Morrison, however, is not held in reserve by Frederick, and as he has already received an offer from a club in another league, may not be seen at the helm of the Frederick club next year. Agnew, no doubt, would make a brainy leader, as he has had a world of experience in the bush all his life. He is no spring chicken and would therefore suit the directors as they want an old head. Everyone will concede that the "bubbitt" will make a good leader. During the old months Agnew is employed at the City hotel in Frederick. COUNTY SCHOOLS ARE CLASSIFIED Martinsburg and Hedgesville High Schools in First Class and Bunker Hill in Third. Fifty-three of the 55 counties of the state will share in the distribution of $88,000 set apart by the legislature for state aid to classified high schools. State Superintendent M. P. Shawkey has completed the classification of the high schools, the first class receiving $665 each; second class, $475 each, and high schools of the third class, $275 each. The following shows the divisions of the high schools in their classification in the eastern parishville. Berkeley county Martinsburg, first class; Hedgesville, first class; Bunker Hill, third class. Jefferson county - Charles Town first class; Harpers Ferry, first class; Leetown, third class. Morgan county - Berkeley (Springs) first class; Paw Paw, first class; Great Cacapon, third class. PITCHER COLLEY NOW IN VIRGINIA Martinsburg Slabbist Connected With the Geological Survey and is at Wiconico. The sporting editor of the World has received a communication from Frank ("Scoop") Colley, the lds who hurled many a contest during the past season of the Blue Ridge league for "Country" Morris' Mountainleers. Colley is now located at Wiconico Church, Va., and is connected with the geological survey, which is making a map of that section for defense purposes. He states that he is getting along fine and likes the outdoor work. He says that he walks eight hours each day and works hard; that he has gained ten pounds in weight and hopes to be in prime condition when the baseball season rolls around. "Have you started up the Stove League gossip in Martinsburg?" asks Colley. "If you have let me know what's doing in the baseball line, and also tell me something about the boys. Drop in Browning's and remember me to them. Tell them I remember them all." NO. 39. COUNTY SALARY LAW EXPLAINED COUNTY SALARY LAW EXPLAINED New Statute Applying to the Various Officials Goes Into Effect January 1. With the county salary law going into effect January 1, 1917, under which the newly elected sheriffs in all the counties will be paid a stipulated sum each year for their services instead of being permitted to claim their compensation from fees collected in the office, as in the past; the preliminaries to making the change from old to new officials have raised a good many questions as to the construction of the law. Letters by the score have been sent to the state tax commissioner in the last few weeks from county court courts and sheriffs-elect, regarding sheriff's compensation, appointment of jailors, execution of sheriff's bonds, payment of premiums on sheriff's bonds, what fees the sheriff and his deputies are entitled to, end a number of others. As a general reply to these letters, Commissioner Blue has sent out a letter to all the county courts and sheriff-elect, answering a number of the questions raised. It is pointed out in the beginning that after December 31, the sheriff's office will be strictly on a salary basis. Neither the sheriff, his deputies, assistants or other employees of his office will be entitled to any fees for any services he or they are required to perform. All fees that such sheriff, deputies, assistants or other employees may collect, as provided by law, must be paid into the county treasury. The compensation to be paid the sheriff in each county is fixed by the statute, having been fixed according to the size of the county and the amount of work to be done in the office. The new sheriff of Berkeley county will receive an annual salary of $3,000. EIGHT-HOUR LAW CASE IS TAKEN UP WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. Steps to secure an early decision upon the constitutionality of the Adamson eight hour law in the test case of the Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf railroad, dominated interest in the supreme court's session today, following a two weeks' process. A motion was presented by Sotietor General Davis, with formal concurrence of counsel for the railroads, asking the court to assign an early date for hearing of the governments appeal from the decision of Federal Judge Hook, of Kansas City, Mo., holding the law null and void. The railroad brotherhoods, according to present plans, were not represented in the formal proceedings today, but may have counsel participate in the arguments. TWO QUALIFICATIONS BEFORE COUNTY COURT James Fulk Qualifies as School Commissioner and Lee Lewis as Constable. At the session of the county court, today, James H. Fulk, re-elected as school commissioner in Arden district, qualified in that capacity and gave necessary bond. Lee Lewis, elected constable at the recent election, appeared before the court and gave bond of $3,500. Mr. Lewis succeeds James Lemen, whose term has already expired, and the newly-elected constable entered u. at his duties at once. Entered in Post Office at Martins burg, W.

Taft was the former, Wilson the latter. We are not hearing, since German subs are lurking near our shores, so much about Mr. Lansing's warning to the war parties over the sea. The next three months of Congress promises to be the hottest short session ever held. Don't let those long haired southern orators out talk, bluff and beat you short haired northern and western men who are for fair play. Fight it out on the line of right if it takes all summer. Why is it our republican newspapers in advocating the rights of the colored men of the South to vote are foolish enough to dub the effort "Force Bill?" Woy not call it a Bill of constitutional rights? "Force Bill" is the name given it by the insulted South, when Senator Lodge introduced it years ago. Stop it and call it A Bill of Constitutional Rights. One thing is certain, when Rev. F. F. Martyn lectured at Storer College last Tuesday night, his audience "stood up and took notice," and when out and at home, they said one to another, didn't our hearts burn within? He is a power. He has traveled the world over, and is second no pulpiteer in this entire State as an orator. The man who has stood for most every thing to slip into the White House, and whose ambition is higher than ever before, to get there is feeling the pulse of the nation for the final trial in 1920. M.r Bryan, you'll never get there as long as Champ Clark lives. The nation would be safe in Speaker Clarks hands. The Pioneer Press does not agree with Rev. William A. Byrd to denounce Mr. Villard. It would be a calamity for all men to think and act alike. Mr. Wilson is a better man than his Southern democracy, and it may be that he has made concessions to Mr. Villard, and this being his last term he may do better. He had plighted and pledged with Mr. Villard before, and their understanding may change his future conduct. Let us be patient for a while from the fact, Mr. Villard may be armed with a heavier sledgehammer to defend himself than Bishop Walters was. The time was when "New Orleans molasses was our favorite syrup. Asking for some recently, we were informed it is a thing of the past, and it is. The "pure food laws," looked into its bad effects and wiped it out of existence. Why not follow it up on all lines? The very flour that we use is decidedly worse. To whitin it, destroys its nutriment, and makes it poisonous. So poisonous is it, that scientists declare taat, chickens, white mice and pigeons cannot live longer than three weeks if fed on what is called the best flour and the best is so called because it is so white. Better go back to the old stone-burr method of making the best of flour, and back to a score of other things "'the old fogies did," and lived so happily. When the Republican party lost its religion and had gotten so righteous it was repulsive to decry the bloody shirt because it offended the red-handed gang that did it, down and out it went, up and in went the South. Tariff and everything else are bubbles in comparison to human rights, which promise to be foremost in the campaign of 1920, and it means we shall fully enjoy enfranchisement. America has too many good men and women to allow over a million and a half voters to be counted on the basis of Southern representation—sending scores to congress—by denying them the right to vote. This curse to be wiped out, must from now henceforth, be agitated and kept in a fermentation until right prevails, and that is what is going to be done. The Pioneer Press urges every ambitions and self-respecting Negro in the South, where his rights are abridged, to leave there for fairer fields wide-open for thrifty, honest and respectable colored people. Never, before, have such openings occurred as now await the class above named. To frustrate this your golden opportunity, the laboring unions, heretofore, your cause in the North and West, foreseeing its destruction, also inyite your admission. Spurn them. Time, the regulator of all things, has worn them thread-bare, and it is within your power to make them patchless. It may cost you a grievous loss in property and fondness for your sunny acclimated territory, but the growth and freedom of manhood, the education of your children, and the sacred right to vote will soon make you so happy, that the greatest regrets you will have, will be that you did not leave long, long ago. Dr. P. O'Connell, who lectured here last Tuesday night on "The search for a man," awakened, aroused and enthused his hearers as they never have been before. He is an able scholar, strictly anhonest, virtuous and hightoned christian gentleman. He and a few more are the attic-salt of Negro manhood—the hope and bright signs of the future destiny of God's darker sunmade children. Millions of those sunburnt sons of His have done wonders thousands and millions of years ago. They lived built the mysterious pyramids. History tells of Simon's broad and strong shoulders tugging under the the cross and helping the Son of God bear it up Golgotha.. Moses was given the divine laws and led the children of Israel out of the wilderness and was their guiding star for forty years. Solomon astounded all ages in the erection of that wonderful temple. Toussaint L'Overture, Hannibal, Menelek an! Maceo, as warriors have no superiors. Blyden, Scarborough, Crummell, Garnett, and scores of others in scholarship rank with the world's greatest men. Douglass, Elliot, Langston and Price, the world knows as foremost orators, Alexander Hamiiton America's greatest financier, S. Coleridge Taylor and Harry Burjeigh famous in music, Ehjah McCoy the world's leader in patents. Dumas, our author and Dunbar the poet, and so on we could go, but in his class none are nobler and greater in God's sight, than Dr. Pezavia O'Connell. ESCAPED CONVICT ARRESTED HERE CAUSES TROUBLE AUTHORITIES CAN'T AGREE WHO WILL HAVE CUSTODY OF CLAUDE KELICAN. IS WANTED AT SHEPHERDSTOWN FOR THEFT OF CLOTHING AND MONEY. IS ALSO WANTED FOR ESCAPING FROM THE VIRGINIA STATE PENITENTIARY. This afternoon Chief Shipley and Mr. McQuilkan received a wire from the Virginia penitentiary officials, stating that Kelican is not wanted there as his term has expired. Upon receipt of this information they got in communication with the Frederick county officials and were told that the prisoner would be held there for them. It is understood that Kelican will be taken to Shepherdstown as quickly as arrangements can be perfected. Who shall have the custody of Claude Kelican, an escaped convict from the Virginia penitentiary at Richmond, the Virginia or Shepherdstown authorities? This is the question that is now confronting local authorities, and how it will be settled may require the opinion of the highest court. Monday afternoon Chief of Police Robert Shipley, of Shetland town, arrested Kelican on the Winchester pike, and brought him to the city. Officer Charles Riddle read the warrant, which charged the prisoner with stealing a suit of clothes and a small quantity of money from W. T. McQuilkan, to him and he was placed in the city jail. Mr. McQuilkan was at once notified of the arrest and he came to the city. He talked with Kelican, who confessed, Mr. McQuilkan says, to the charge, and told him where to find the money, and delivered to him the clothing. Arrangements were made with the city officials to leave the prisoner here over night for safe keeping, and take him today to Shepherdstown for a hearing. News of the arrest having been circulated, Sheriff Luther Pannett, of Winchester, arrived here this morning and demanded the prisoner, saying he legally belonged to Virginia, and should be returned to the state prison, where he was serving a ten-year sentence. The prisoner, having been placed in Justice Thompson hands, was turned over to Sheriff Pannett, who took him to Winchester on the 11 o'clock train, and expected later to take him to Richmond. Shortly after Sheriff Pannett had left with Kelican, Chief Shipley and Mr. McQuilkan arrived after the prisoner. Upon being informed that he had been taken to Winchester, they asked upon whose authority. They wired Sheriff Pannett to return him here as they had first claim, and also the prison authorities at Richmond statinig that Kelican must answer to the charge preferred against him by Mr. McQuilkan, and after that had been disposed of he would be released. Mr. McQuilkan stated this afternoon that Kelican began working for him shortly after the Morgan's Grove Fair, and continued until Saturday evening, when he stated he was going away but would return Monday. Shortly after Kelican's departure Mr. McQuilkan said he had occasion to use his purse, but he found it had been tampered with. He also discovered a suit of clothes missing. A warrant was issued at once for the escaped man, and Chief Shipley started in search of the wanted man, finding him yesterday. Mr. Shipley stated today that he would claim the reward offered by Virginia for Kelican's arrest. EMBARGO IS RAISED EMBARGO IS RAISED Department of Agriculture Takes First Step to Reduce High Cost of Living. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5—The first step of the department of agriculture toward the policy which is expected to reduce prices on food staples was taken today when the embargo on Canadian potatoes was ordered lifted. The shipments of potatoes, it was explained, must be certified by shippers to be sound, as is commercially practicable, and contain no more than 10 per cent. tubers showing traces of disease. Heretofore the Canadian potatoe were admitted only at designated ports of entry. Under the amended rule the importers must apply to the federal horticultural board for permits. GERMAN CONSUL REPORTED STOLEN State Department Learns That H Has Been Abducted by Villistas. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5—The abduction of German Consul Colima, o Metamoras, by bandits, sailed to Villistas, was reported to the state department today by the agent in the border. Another message received that the German vice consul Colima, 50, and one American host had landed the date of Colima, the Mintman German consul in connection with the abduction of German consul Colima, a thing possible to guess by. that the American railroad men Chihuahua city are safe. It is be deved that the story of the death the German was consul and an Amer FARLY MAILING URGED BY THE POSTMASTER Postmaster Thomson Asks the Co-operation of the Public During Heavy Season. On account of the unfortunately heavy mails incident to the Christmas season, it is necessary for patrons of the postal service to mail parcels and cards at least three or four days earlier than under normal conditions if delivery is to be effected in time for Christmas. It should be noted that Christmas occurs on Monday this year, and there will be no delivery of mail on Sunday. December 23rd, every effort will be made to deliver all parcels no later than Saturday. December 23rd. To accomplish that result the cooperation of the public is needed, and your safety is solicited. Patrons are urged to do their Christmas shopping early. The more harps will improve the process of calling and mark the parcels "Do not open until Christmas." J. Frank Thompson. Postmaster. Onshore Meyers Listened to Train Road Promoter and Is Financially Ruined. The Lemasters National Bank, a demasters, Franklin county, Pa., was impelled to close its doors yester afternoon because Cushier Meyer had cashed a worthless draft for 50,000 presented by Clyde E. Coon a railroad promoter. Early last spring Coon went to Lemasters and began promoting a trolley road connecting McConnellsburg with For London. He interested Meyers and secured from the bank, of while Meyers was cashier, $50,000 on a New York draft, which he recommender to be worth its face value. Later he secured the draft and then fled. Meyers told the directors of his difficulty, and friends went to his rescue, raising $25,000. Meyers is very wealthy, owning two fine farm near Lemasters and the Star theatre his home town. In addition to being ruined financially, he faces criminal prosecution.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—Lured by the spirit of adventure more than 2,000 Americans have died in battle, among in actions of the British empire. Somewhere in the United States thousands of anxious mothers and others are awaiting the return of those who iwll never return, and somewhere in France there are Americans fighting in the khaki for Britain who will never return to their land. Americans has become the problem of American youths slipping away into Canada to join over-seas regiments that the American state department has been forced recently to create a new division to care for the hundreds of communicants which can rin. asking officials of this government to obtain the release of American youths from foreign regiments. In many cases, these boys have joined in Canada by the simple exedient of falsifying their ages. HEAVY FINE FOR DRUNKEN DRIVER Mayor Imposes $25 on M. B. DeHaven for Driving Car While Intoxicated Saturday Night. M. B. DeHaven was given a hearing before Mayor Leiter last night, charged with running his automobile while in a state of intoxication. Saturday night, it is alleged. DeHaven was unable to properly run his car, and the officers were compelled to close him in jail. The mayor fined him $25 and notified him if he were arrested again for the same offense the fine would be $50. Saturday night the officers arrested three negroes for disorderly conduct. One appeared for trial and was fined $7.60, and the others preferred to forfeit their bonds rather than stand a trial. Officials of Polish Immigration Society Want to Purchase Land in This Section. Theodore F. Imbach, the well-known orchardist, has returned from New York city, where he was in consultation with officials of the Polish immigration Society regarding the purchase of some land in this section for establishing a Polish colony. The society officials told Mr. Imbach that they had received offers from many firms both north and south, but that they preferred to come to this section, where the climate was neither too hot nor too cold. The officials spoke very favorably of coming to West Virginia and may locate in the eastern hanhandle. The colony is to comprise about 200 families. STATE AID FOR ROADS FAVORED Next Session of State Legislature Will be Asked to Give Matter Much Consideration. At the coming regular session of the West Virginia legislature, legislation will be considered for the establishment of a state road fund from which aid will be given to the several counties of the state in the construction of permanent highways. State Road Engineer A. D. Williams favors the establishment of a state road fund and state aid for the building of good roads. The state road engineer believes that with the state aiding the counties in the building of improved roads, that it would not be long until a chain of permanent roads would connect every county seat in the state. He has estimated that it will require 4,200 miles of roads to complete this scheme, but in the last four years the counties of West Virginia have authorized the expenditure of $13,074,500 for the construction of approximately 2,800 miles of road. COST OF DYING NOW TAKES UPWARD LEAP Casket Manufactures Announce Raise in Price of Coffins and Rough Boxes. While prices of the necessities of life are soaring, casket manufacturers have announced that there is to be a substantial increase in the price of their products and thus will increase the cost of dying. Several undertakers in the large cities have received notice from manufacturers that owing to the high price of hardware, silk, cotton and cloth the price of caskets must go up. The balmers' supply houses have come out with a similar adject. The notice to undertakers follows: "The casket manufacturers have been laboring under financial difficulties for the past several months until the present muddily unfavorable prices of all lines of material have reached a point where it is not possible for us to carry the entire burden longer, and we find ourselves in a position where at this time it is necessary to ask an increased price on all kinds of caskets and rough boxes. "During the last few months cotton goods have advanced from 50 to 75 per cent; shelf hardware, including nails, has advanced from 70 to 100 per cent, and cloth of all kinds, 75 per cent. These are just a few of the items to show you how prices on raw materials are advancing." Well-Known Citizen Falls a Victim to a Complication of Diseases. Moses Frye, a well-known and highly respected farmer of Ganotown, died at his home there this morning at 1 o'clock, of a complication of diseases. He had been an invalid for several years, and for the past three weeks was confined to his bed. He was born and reared in the county and spent his entire life within its confines. The deceased is survived by his widow and the following children: George and William Frye, near Martinsburg: Charles Frye, of Ohio; Mrs. John Slonaker, near Pine Grove; Mrs. Lewis Bayer, of Shanghai Adam Frye, near Pine Grove, and Mrs. Bettie Anthony, near Ganotown, are a brother and sister of the deceased.

SAFETY DEMANDS FEDERAL CONTROL OF THE RAILROADS SAFETY DEMANDS FEDERAL CONTROL OF THE RAILROADS Only Way to Meet Emergencies of Nation, Says A. P. Thom. STATES' RIGHTS PRESERVED Principles Which Railways Hold Should Govern Regulatory System In Interests of Public and the Roads—Compulsory System of Federal Incorporation Favored. Washington, Dec. 4.—That the interests of national defense require that control of railway lines should rest with the federal government and not with the states was the claim advanced by Alfred P. Thom, counsel to the Railway Executives' Advisory Committee, in concluding his preliminary statement of the case for the railways before the Newlands Joint Committee on Interstate Commerce. "We must be efficient as a nation if we are to deal successfully with our national emergencies," said Mr. Thom, "and we must appreciate that efficient transportation is an essential condition of national efficiency. If we are to halt and weaken our transportation systems by state lines, by the permanent inposition of burdens by unwise regulation, we will make national efficiency impossible." States' Rights Would Not Suffer. Mr. Thom cited many instances in which shippers in one state were injuriously affected by selfish regulations imposed on the railroads by neighboring states. He pointed out that federal regulation would be no invasion of the rights of the states but would be the means of preserving the rights which they acquired when they entered the Union, one of which was the right to the free movement of their products across state boundaries. What the Railroads Advocate. The principles which the railroads believe should be incorporated in any just system of regulation were summarized by Mr. Thom as follows: 1. The officie power and duty of regulation, should be in the hands of the national government, except as to matters so essentially local and incidental that they cannot be used to interfere with the efficiency of the service or the just rights of the carriers. 2. As one of the means of accomplishing this, a system of compulsory federal incorporation should be adopted, into which should be brought all railroad corporations engaged in interstate or foreign commerce. 3. The Interstate Commerce Commission under existing laws has too much to do and is charged with conflicting functions, including the investigation, prosecution and decision of cases. The latter duties should be placed in the hands of a new body which might be called the Federal Railroad Commission. Regional Commissions should be established in different parts of the country to assist the Interstate Commerce Commission by handling local cases. 4. The power of the Commission should be extended to enable it to prescribe minimum rates and not merely maximum rates as at present. This would increase their power to prevent unjust disriminations. Justice to Public and Roads. 5. It should be made the duty of the Interstate Commerce Commission, in the exercise of its powers to fix reasonable rates, to so adjust these rates that they shall be just at once to the public and to the carriers. To this end the Commission, in determining rates, should consider the necessity of maintaining efficient transportation and extensions of facilities, the relation of expenses to rates and the rights of shipers, stockholders and creditors of the roads. 6. The Interstate Commerce Commission should be invested with the power to fix the rates for carrying mails. 7. The federal government should have exclusive power to supervise the issue of stocks and bonds by railroad carriers engaged in interstate and foreign commerce. 8. The law should recognize the essential difference between things which restrain trade in the case of ordinary mercantile concerns and those which restrain trade in the case of common carriers. The question of competition is not the only fair criterion. 9. The law should expressly provide for the meeting and agreement of traffic or other officers of railroads in respect of rates or practices. This should, however, be safeguarded by requiring the agreements to be filed with the Interstate Commerce Commis- PRINCE the national joy smoke ALBERT PRINCE ALBERT CRIMP CUT LONG CURNING PIPE AND CIGARETTE TOBACCO Palm oil fibers is sold everywhere in large red bags, 5cm tidy ridges, 10cm hardsome poured and hard-pound tin humidors and that clever crystal-glass poured humidor with sponge-moisture top that keeps the tobacco in such splendid condition. sion and to be subject to be disapproved by it. "My legal proposition," Mr. Thomas said, "is that the Constitution as it now is gives full authority to Congress to regulate the instrumentalities of interstate commerce in all their parts. If the power of regulation is to control the public requirements, it must be extensive with the instrumentalities of commerce." Mr. Thomas explained that the roads are not asking either of the Committee or of Congress any increase in revenues, but that they are merely asking the perfection of a system which will be responsible to any need that may arise. GERMANS CAPTURE MILLIONS IN BOOTY In Roumanian Invasion Which Trapped its Richest Plantations and Towns. BERLIN, Dec. 5.—The operations on the Wallachian plain, in the mountain districts and on the Danube, says a report, were carried out by the Teutonic allies with such rapidity that it has been impossible to estimate the booty secured. A greater part of the crop of Indian corn fell into the hands of the invaders. In addition, encroachs stocks of corn are deposited in sheds, railroad stations, and mill and aboard tugboats. It appears that the Roumanians were unable to transport the crop of Wallachia to Braila and Galatz. The petroleum stocks captured were enormous. Many of the station yards are filled with tank cars. Great quantities of leather, meats and salt are captured. Only an insignificant part of the cattle could be carried off by the floumanians. In the mountain valleys and on the slopes, the report continues, great herds of cattle were encountered. Thousands and thousands of vehicles drawn by oven have been brought in, and also much war material. The cannon and ammunition carts captured have not been counted up to the present. The retreating Roumanians at many places threw their cannon into the gorges or hid them in the woods. It will require months to ascertain the entire amount of booty left behind. cigarette unless you get on talking-terms with Prince Albert tobacco!
