The latest phase of the Councilmanic
financial nightmare was brought out
last night by the Ordinance Committee.
A council Of the leaders had come to
the conclusion that the previous bond
ordinance would not go" with the peo-
pie. and, also, that the proposition to
double the tax rate, being still worse,
wouldn't DO either. But as money has
10 be raised somehow to meet the de-
felt due TO the looseness and eXtraya-
gance of this reform" Council, it was
finally resolved TO adopt the original
suggestion of the Register as to how
Council might ger tie people to sane
lion a bond issue. namely. by including
i'm the ordinance a provision for a loan
to purcase the plant of the Wheeling
Electrical Company, with the view to
the city going into the business Of
manufacturing and selling electric
light to consumers as she does gas.
So. the committee resolved TO report an
ordinance at to-nights session Of Coun-
ell calling for a loan Of $4,000, $4,000
Of which is to pull Council out Of the
financial hole it is in. and provide for
the running expenses of the govern
ment. bond interest. etc. and the re-
maiuder to purchase the electrical
companys plant
II is hoped thus by lacking the prom
Use Of this much-needed improvement
onto the ordinance that The people may
be induced 10 endorse a bond issue.
which it is now acknowledged they
would never do for the simple purpose
of covering up Councils incompetence,
waste and extravaganza.
When the proposition was mentioned
once before to buy the Wheeling Flee
trical Company's plant and give the
city once more complete control of the
natural monopoly of lighting. someone
got up and superciuiously tabled the
motion and that was the end OF it until
now when it is brought forward as the
only thing that can save this Council
from utter ruin and from resigning
in a body as the only alternative to
declaring the city bankrupt Tt is
hoped that the urgent need for funds
viii prevail upon Countu to swallow
iJ and that the known edgerness of the
people for the Improvement viii pre-
vail upon the voters TO endorse the
whole loan.

\ Pair of NIohamedans Try to Destroy

Bethlehem. Pa, June 24.-Charles
Jessup and Hedman Castiufi, Moham-
medans. attempted TO murder the en-
tire family OF Mrs. Mary Michael early
this morning. The Michael family Is
composed of Mrs. Michael her son Joe,
and his little boy. About O'Clock the
would-be murderers crept into the one
story house occupied by the Michaels'
and emptied the contents of two reyolv-
ers at them while they slept. They
then reloaded their weapons and were
preparing to again open fire on their
victims when they were arrested.
Mrs Michael was taken TO hospi-
tai and may recover. The other two
ESCAPED with slight flesh wounds. The
Michaels are Syrians, and the attempt
to murder them was caused by their
interference with another Syrian named
Mark Anthony, who was living with
the Mohammedans.

The missionary work in behalf of
American corn done by Mr. Charles j.
Murphy. has done much to overcome
the prejudice that has existed against
this great cereal abroad. where il mas
been regarded as only fit for cattle to
eat. AS a special representative of the
Department Of Agriculture Mr.. Muir
ply has travelled extensively through
Europe in The principal cities Of which
he has lectured on the advantages Of
corn as staple article Of food, and
has practically demonstrated at his eX-
hibitions it's palatableness by cooking
the meal in various forms and submit
ting the product Of his handiwork to
his audiences. The success which has
attended his mission indicates that
there is an important foreign market
for our corn capable Of absorbing far
more Of this cereal than has hitherto
been exported.
Mr. Murphy utilized the opportunity
Of "a short rye crop in Germany to dem
onsuate the value OF Indian corn for
mixing with the native rye in making
bread. and a Royal Commission which
was appointed to consider the matter
reported. after six months of investi-
cation and experiment, that our corn
was the cereal best adapted for use
with the German rye. one OF the
strongest arguments cited by the Ger
man experts who urged its adoption
was that the use of American corn in
time of short crops at home would
make Germany independent Of Russia
in the matter of breadstuGs. AS a re-
suit of the introduction of Indian corn
into Germany three mills have been
erected at Hamburg to grind American
maize into flour. A large amount of
corn is ground in Dresden and in Hans
over and other German cities, many
bakeries for corn bread have been es-
tabhshed Mr. Murphy declares that
all Germany is now familiar with the
bealthfulness and desirability Of Amer
lean corn foods In Denmark, where
this breadstun was practically un-
known. It's Introduction has met with
such favor that several American mill
ing firms have since established a
large trade in Copenhagen. In Belgi-
UNI and Holland Indian corn has been
very favorably received.

The miners at Wheeling creek mines
are working steady but are greatly dis
satisfied with the 51-cent rate. A man
can dig from two to two and one-half
tons of coal a day. This would pay
him $12 to 1925 a day. Out of this he
pays for his miners supplies and as
sessments, besides paying the weight
boss. Then what has he left to buy his
clothing and eating with? No wonder
they are dissatisfied.

this must be so. since currency expert

mentors might be, would inevitably
mean decentralization to all mercantile

WHIST CONGRESS-.

There has just adjourned at Mime
apolis the fifth congress of American
whist players. It was one Of the largest
and most enthusiastic meetings of the
kind since their Inauguration in 1891.
II shows marked progress made In the
knowledge Of this most enucing game
and also that men may play cards for
simple amusement. FOR the Congress has
from the start. strongly discountenanced
even the smallest Of wagers on the
game.
AS the Chicago Times-Herald says, it
is only within a comparatively few
years that much interest has been taken
in whist in this country. Ten years
ago Professor Proctor declared there
were but few whist players in America.
In his view the whist Of the home circle
and of the ordinary clubs was not whist
a, ALL Ii was "bumbIe-puppy." a sort
Of laundering. bindfolded game, in
which the cards are played as at whist
and the score is the same, but which
no more resembles whist than a monkey
resembles a man. "Bumble-puppy"
means taking tricks with aces and
kings. a thing that almost any one can
do. and in which there is but little IN
terest The great feat in whist is to
make the low cards take tricks. and by
a series of manoeuvres establish q long
suit and thus paralyze the high cards
Of your adversaries. Scientific whist
means strategy and deeply laid ambush
es. which reduce 20 a minimum the eff
fects Of chance and Tuck and in the long
run win the most games. II means Gull
tivation Of the perceptive faculties,
patience, memory and watchfulness,
qualities that are as essential 10 the
good whist player as TO the general of
an army or the successful business man.
NEUTRALITY AND CUBA.
OF course. We sympathize with Cuba.
The tax plundered people who are try
ing 70 throw of the Spanish yoke are
worthy of our sympathy in the under
taking But the United States is one
OF a family of nations, and as such is
bound by the obligations of interna-
tional law; and one Of the most i'm
perious Of these obligations is neu-
trauty. No government has been more
strenuous in asserting the sanctity OF
this obligation. nor more pressing in
defending it. than has the government
of the United States; and none has
more needed its protecting shield.
During the wars of the French reyolu-
ton. and during the Consulate and the
Empire that followed. the neutral
rights Of the United States were con-
stautly infringed The Department Of
State during that momentous period is
