"HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN" The Pioneer SPECIAL COACHES CARRY FEDERAL PRISONERS TO COURT IN SESSION HERE PRESENTMENTS WILL REACH A HUNDRED UNITED STATES MARSHAL SMITH BROUGHT IN PRISONERS LAST NIGHT — TWO EXTRA COACHES ATTACHED TO NIGHT TRAIN CONTAINED PARTY OF MORE THAN SIXTY PRISONERS AND FORTY GUARDS ARRIVED FOR COURT. Sixty-two prisoners, the largest number ever brought into Martinsburg in one group, arrived on train No. 16 over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad last night in two special cars attached to the rear of that train. The prisoners were in charge of United States Marshal C. E. Smith and his deputies, and were from all sections of the Northern District of West Virginia. There were a total of one hundred and five in the party brought to this city city by Marshal Smith. One special coach left Fairmont over the Baltimore and Ohio lines attached to train No. 50 Monday morning. Deputy United States Marshal J. D. Moore was in charge of the guard and the thirty-one prisoners and the band of guards which made up the Fairmont party. At Grafton the coach was detached from train No. 50 and made up as a part of No. 16. From Parkersburg Deputy Marshal Cook came over with a special coach containing prisoners and guards from that section. Both extra coaches were attached to train No. 16 for the run from Grafton to Martinsburg. When the train reached Cumberland, Md., still another special coach was added. In Cumberland a special private car containing officials of the Erie railroad bound east was made up with the train. Because one of the coaches containing prisoners was an old relic of pioneer days on the B. & O. of wooden construction it was not possible to place the heavy steel private coach of the Erie officials in the rear of the train. This resulted in the private coach being sandwiched in between the dining car and the prisoners coaches. Late last night when Marshal Smith took his prisoners into the diner for supper it was necessary to take the men through the private coach of the Erie officials. Deputy Marshal Moore, of Fairmont, had with him thirty-three prisoners from Fairmont had the banner crowd so far as numbers go. His list included Velma Worthington, James Brown, Estella Brown, Wade Ordway, Clarence Bartholow, W. M. Goff, Thomas Webster, Alex Gowzvdich, Henry Brown, Thomas Lanham, William Murry, Bessie Swisher, James Meyers, Antonio Cash, Joe Kempsom, Arthur M. Rhodes, Minnie Wells, Matrona Patterson, Ross Scruggs, William Jordon, B. S. Swiger, Howard Pope, Nolan Muncelk, William Childs, John Merlavich Walter Ranlich, Joe Ranlich, Thomas Grant, Ben Casto, and James Parsons. Deputy Marshal C. B. Cook, of Parkersburg, brought over thirteen prisoners. Those in his charge included, J. P. Fought, Icelo Benetros, alias Bill Bannas; Nick Steed, alias Nick Stratt; Henry Williams, Thomas Wilson, Fred Wilson, James Williams, alais Kentucky Jim; Thomas Geer, H. W. Campbell, Mike Steen, Shields Jones and Steve Bollock. Deputy Marshal John M. Short, of Wheeling, had with him John McBride, Mike Tucuch, John Mittman, Antonio Solarom, Charles Princoitta, Buff Phillips, Reid de Crow and William Smith. From Clarksburg came Deputy Marshal Throckmorton who had in his charge Cy Mont, Andrew James, J. H. Campbell, Ed. Dobbs, Jack Louder, John Burroughs, Harrison B. Cunningham, Bill Butch and Eunice Phillips. In all there were In all there were seven women prisoners in the party. Four of these were white women and three colored. The great majority of the The great majority of the prisoners are charged with violations of the Reed amendment, making it a federal offense to bring any amount of liquor of an intoxicating nature to a dry state. A few of the prisoners face charges of a more serious nature, however. Among those who have more serious crimes charged against them is Reid de Crow, of Wheeling, who is said to have operated a scheme to defraud by use of the United States mails. Because of the press of other work the grand jury was not organized until 1:30 this afternoon. Immediately after its organization this body got down to work and many witnesses were examined during the afternoon. It will require several days for the grand jury to complete its labors. Many of the prisoners brought in last night have expressed their intention of confessing and it is not anticipated a very large number of those indicted will ask for trial at this term of court. Brakeman Jumps 60 Feet. John G. Murray, a Western Maryland brakeman, who resides at Williamsport, was seriously injured yesterday when he jumped 60 feet from a bridge over the Potomac river.

MEXICANS IN RAID ON BORDER TOWN COWBOYS RESCUE AMERICAN GIRL FROM CAPTORS AFTER BATTLE. "The Magnificent Meddier," the Greater Vitagraph Blue Ribbon feature, which will be presented at the Apollo tonight, is the story of a progressive young newspaperman who meddles in the affairs of an unprogressive border town to its ultimate gain. Monty Emerson buys The Sentinel in Horizon, with money left to him by an aunt, sending the purchase money by wire. With Bob Gill, a cartoonist, who had been his pal on an Eastern paper, he goes to Horizon, a relic of the wild and woolly days. Monty starts in at once to uplift the town, and his first bit of "meddling" is to brand Ike Cherry, Horizon's "bad man," as an undesirable citizen. He shows his resentment by bombarding The Sentinel's Chinese newsboy. Monty comes back next day with a cartoon showing Ike chasing an alleegorical figure, "Education and Enlightenment." out of town. Ike goes to The Sentinel office, levee's two guns at Monty and greets him two minutes to start out of town. Bob distracts the bad man's attention and Monty attacks him. After a stiff fight like lands outside the building. Monty's "meddling" pleases the small progressive element of the town and through it he learns that Lewiston a neighbor ing intimintim Lewiston, a neighboring city, has been trying to annex the corrupt but contented Horizon. After a conference with the mayor of Lewiston, Monty begins to shriek for consolidation. This brings him afoul of Big Joe Roth, political boss, and Pete Marillo, the Mexican gambling dictator and dance hall proprietor. Monty, meantime, meets Jess Roth, daughter of the boss, and they fall in love. However, when she learns that Monty is the author of the attacks on her father, she repulses him. Monty, unlaunted, keeps up his attacks and caps them by taking a flashlight picture showing Marillo paying Roth his share of the profits from vice in the town. Roth organizes a game and starts after Monty, while Marillo organizes a band of Mexicans to rob Roth's house. The young editor evades his pursuers by climbing a tree and they pass by. Shortly afterward, Marillo and his outlaws come along the road at a swift pace, with Jess Roth a midnapped captive, on the way across the Mexican border. Monty drops onto the horse bearing Jess and gallops away, the Mexicans in pursuit. They reach the Sentinel office. Soon Roth's men appear and open fire on the place, Marillo, who has increased his force, arrives shortly afterward. A battle follows and the Mexicans are routed. Roth then breaks into the newspaper office and his men set fire to the place. CONVICTED OF VIOLATING SELECTIVE DRAFT LAW Robert Hughes, alias James Monroe, who was arrested by Deputy Marshal W. A.

He began his sentence at once. Press. BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED Sept. 22, 1917. VOL. JUDGE J. M. WOODS CRITICISES THE BAD TAXPAYERS "IT IS NOT RIGHT TO EXPECT THE YOUNG MEN TO BE PATRIOTIC AND FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRC IF PROPERTY OWNERS DO NOT PAY HONEST TAXES" JUDGE TELLS GRAND JURY AT OPENING OF COURT In his charge to the grand jury this morning at the opening of the Circuit Court for the regular September term, Judge J. M. Woods in urging the enforcement of the law, laid especial stress of the statute regarding the payment of taxes, and of giving the assessor a correct estimate of property. In connection of the times, he told the jury that it could not be expected of the young men of this nation to defend our country if the elder ones and the property owners do not pay their honest taxes for the support of the government, for which they would have the younger generation fight. The judge also called attention to the laws prohibiting crooked elections, the unlawful selling of drugs, the selling of cigarettes to minors, and the grafting of money by employers from those under their jurisdiction. Should Be Unblased. Judge Woods told the jurors in his opening statement that in hearing evidence and in finding indictments no private feelings should govern them, and that their duties should be performed without partiality. He said that wherever there exists a reasonable doubt as to the person before them being guilty an indictment should be returned, but that doubt must be gained through evidence and not by hearsay or gossip. He told the jury that twelve of their number must agree before an indictment can be returned. About Crooked Elections In connection with crooked elections, the judge said he was required to make a statement. He first called attention to the laws which should govern elections, and said that the practice of vote buying should not be allowed to continue; that it was not right for one man to express the opinion of another at the election polls for the sake of money, and that if the offices of this country were to be auctioned off our government would not be free. Day of Reckoning Coming. Judge Woods emphasized the fact that a day of reckoning was sure to come in the future, when these laws pertaining to clean elections, would be rigidly enforced, and that the big financiers of the country who play crooked would be stripped of their character, and would stand before the entire world. Compared $ t_{0} $ Annanias. The jurist next took up the statute requiring property owners and tax payers to pay honestly and according to the amount of property which they own. He sharply criticised the man who tries to escape paying honest taxes and said that he should be compared with Annanias. He said it was the duty of every man to make an honest and conscientious report to the assessor. Must Support Government. The point that the government must have revenue for its support was next brought out by Judge EMINENT COURT OFFICIAL HERE CLERK D. P. HENDRICKSON WHO HAS SERVED GRANT COUNTY 37 YEARS. Among those called here today to appear as witnesses before the Federal grand jury is D. P. Hendrickson, of Petersburg, who perhaps has the state record for term of service and certainly a record that stands out in most creditably in the discharge of duties. In 1914 he was re-elected for six years and in rounding out this term he will have served forty years as the clerk of the circuit and county courts of Grant county. He is known by court officials of the state for his scrupulous care and intelligent handling of the county records, to which he has given miserly care. Incidentally Mr. Hendrickson is a banker and has other interests that puts him in the class of the most successful business men of his section. He is an ardent active Republican who has been responsible immeasurably for the big party majorities in that county. Woods, who said that without government we would not have a fair chance in this world; that the strong man would control the property, and that it was a requisite in order to have a good government that it be supported by, revenue, which should come from the people, each paying his portion, according to his assets. It was here that the judge laid emphasis on the statement that if the property owners did not prove loyal to the government by paying just taxes, it could hardly be expected of the young men to fight for the land which they claim is theirs. Law Regarding Drug Sales That drugs were very valuable when used in their proper places, was the next point take nup by the judge, but he added that when not used properly they were dangerous and the law against them should be enforced. The Tobacco Law. The cigarette and tobacco law were dealt with briefly by Judge Woods. He called attention to the facts that no minor was allowed to smoke cigarettes, while no youth under sixteen was allowed to smoke anything. He said that science has demonstrated that the use of tobacco by the youth is not beneficial to him. Should Pay Honest Wages Another point, which the judge said he was required to deal with, was the law about the paying of laborers, according to their honest wages, by their employers, and he sharply criticised the employer who grafted off any one under him.

WINCHESTER PIKE NOT SUITABLE TO THE BUSINESS MEN AND THEY NAME A COMMITTEE TO CONFER WITH TURNPIKE OFFICIALS NSTRUCTED TO GO AS FAR AS GETTING INJUNCTION FROM COLLECTING TOLL ASSOCIATION WILL URGE BOARD OF EDUCATION TO HAVE TELEGRAPHY TAUGHT. At a meeting of the Business Men's association last night among the many subjects discussed was the condition of Winchester pike and a committee of which James E. Fisher, chairman, was instructed to take the matter up with the officials of the Martinsburg and Winchester Turnpike Company, and request that he read be given attention. The committee was requested to do anything to have the pike repaired, evening as far as having an injunction against the company from collecting toll. Getting in behind of the move made by the Government to have telegraphy taught in the public schools of the country, and acting on the request made by the Government to the association to do what it could along this line in Martinsburg, a committee of Mayor P.

ON OF MAYOR LEITER FOLLIS MEETING WITH MINISTERS AND POLICE CITY — HEADS OF CHURCH MAKE APPEAL IN THE INTEREST OF HUMANITY. recent meeting of the Minis-association of this city, the conditions prevailing in Mar-a-was taken up for considera-tion information in the hands ministers present it was deemable that some definite action was taken at once to correctinate situation and to rem- as possible the conditions in our city. It was stated men and girls of imma- ture years were to be found on the streets at late hours of the night and that their conduct and conversation was unseemly, to say the least. No restrain of any kind or character seems to be placed on their actions by parents or guardians and their actions have caused much adverse comment on the part of the public. The ministers decided that it was within the power of the police to correct many of these evils and to put a stop to those unseemly acts. A committee was appointed to meet with the mayor and police so that some definite plans could be perfected to meet the conditions complained of and to punish the offenders if necessary. The committee consisting of Dr. W. F. Gruver, Dr. W. C. Taylor and Dr. R. L. Wright met the mayor and police and a definite plan was agreed upon. Several notorious resorts in town were considered and it was decided that they should be proceeded against at once and if these means failed that indictments be secured against their proprietors. In conformity with the plans proposed the following notice of the mayor will serve as a warning to those who are guilty of the acts complained of, and it will be well for them to heed this notice: SUGAR WILL BE REDUCED 1 CENT A POUND. WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. Reduction of sugar prices about 1 cent a pound apparently was assured yesterday evening when beet sugar producers agreed with the Food Administrator to sell to wholesalers at seaboard refining points for 7 1-4 cents a pound, maximum, instead of the prevailing prices of 8 4-10 cents. Retail prices ordinarily would be from a half to three-quarters of a cent higher. These prices will be effective in the western section of the country, where sugar beets are raised, about October 1, and in the eastern section about two weeks later. 80 PER CENT OF W.VA. APPLES SOLD AT BIG PRICES AND PRICES ARE CLIMBING HIGHER ON THE BALANCE OF THE CROP — DEMAND LIBERAL AND GROWERS AND FRUIT DEALERS ARE SATISFIED—Such Is REPORT OF W. H. SOM- ERS, WHO HAS BEEN COMPILING FRUIT CROP DATA FOR AGRICULTURAL DEPT. W. H. Somers, of Berkeley Springs, who has been engaged with the West Virginia Agricultural Department, James H. Stewart, Director, in compiling a fruit census, says that he has completed a record of at least fifty per cent of the apple orchards, covering all kinds, and considers it important that the work be carried to the end. At least 80 per cent of the entire apple crop of West Virginia has been sold, according to Mr. Somer's figures, and at liberal prices to the growers and the deals have been equally satisfactory to hte fruit buyers—its a time when all in the fruit deals are being satisfied. For the balance of the crop, some of the choicest fruit yet remains—the prices are going higher and higher in regular scale of advances.

NEW YORK, Sept, 18—Vice Pres ident Marshail, speaking here last night at a golden jubilee celebration of Scettish Rite Masons, urged a deep er sense of American obligation in the war. In the belief that the Unit- ed States could never become involv- ed in European polities, he said, until the war the question of dual citi- zenship was not raised. “No one ever doubted the loyalty to the flag of all these people wheth- er foreign-born or the sons of foreign- born,” said the Vice President. “Our isolation made it immaterial to us whether there was any difference be- tween loyalty and patriotism. “Suddenly a mad monareh, drunk with military power and crazed with the idea that he was divinely ordain- ed to rule the world, phinged Europe into a war so awful that all wars which had preceded it paled into in- significance, “Still we stood by our ancient ideas of isolation, but in two years and a half we discovered that there was a vast difference between loyalty and patriotism. The hearts of men flamed up very largely in response to the blood that flowed in their veins, “We all know,” he continued, “that the world cannot be made safe for murder and arson and pillage and an- arehy and everything for which the: synddicalist and the I. W. W's may stand: and we know also that such things as these cannot be made safe for the world. | “Democracy means the rule of the people under whatever form of gov- ernment they may choose to express it, but when once the rule of tha people has been expressed through BOE Ge Aae m a Be Bestia i Sarena i 24 mf Ke Ph ose bn ahd ees the Seerct ofa Good Figures (a oh thts SAESEE often Net i e brasdere, Huniis ef Bah ase Taye “4 Uta se pet ine ete mae, ae ii Retest 2 eee al OTe seate Une y savatul Beatie ity ae PEN J Fe ti Teun £5 SUE eas , RE a teen ere ae ¥ <a BRASSIERES Bay Sul are the daiatic: +, m0. serviceable garments Bey Se SE BY Reaginabon.” Onty the best gf inatermia wre a She. | weed ter uistanes, “Wala Heaible bon- me Eehy AGEL AOA permitting laundering without removal a SPEEDS EAA mnoy come in alt etytes, and your teat Dey A CAN] Fa Rate a Goce i be dane eet aern ta you Ur tes ge BP GY Fa Ry easily get them for you by writing tous.
