TWO CENTS
SALE CONFIRMED
Special Term OF Circuit Court
Held To Day.

Montgomery Planning Mill Sale to Hon.
Geo. C.. Stargiss Is Confirmed Anoth-
er Sale Passed on Plans OF The
Electric Light Co. VIII Begin
To Move shortly to South Morgan
town.
Judge Hagans presided at a special
term Of circuit court this morning and
passed on two eases The orders in
them were as follows:
w. s. Montgomery s co.. i, Trustee
vs. w. S. Montgomery & CO., ct al.
Decree confirming sale OF Tygart
Manufacturing Co. 5 Mil to Geo. g.
Sturgiss. Price paid 5000.
Lee Gidley VS. Martha III. Wolf ct al.
Decree confirming the sale made on
December 18th To Lee Gidley OF tract
of three acres In Greenmont for 1915.
Mr.. Sturgiss was seen and asked
about the confirmation of the sale OF
the planning mill and he stated that
he would take possession at once.
The plans as announced In this paper
on Monday will be carried out.
The Electric light plant will be
moved across the creek at as early d
date as practicable and the plant
placed Ia the new position. 1t will
be enlarged and the capacity inereas-
ed very greatly on account OF the de-
mands having become much larger
than the supply.
The other improvements will be at
tended TO later. The plans for the
planning mill have not yet been matul-
ed but IL Is probable that 1t will be
continued and that the power for both
plants will be obtained from the same
engines.
The power supplied by the electric
light plant will be more largely in-
creased II the contract for lighting the
streets OF the town can be secured and
a movement toward this end has been
inaugurated. Later dynamoes for
the production Of power for street
railway will be put In when the time
Is ripe for this movement.
The ground that has been secured
by the company will be ample for all
the purposes that they have In view
and they will at once begin TO take
advantage of that fact.

To Pave or Not to Pave is the Question.

To the Editor of the New Dominion:
The people who favor finishing the
the street paving are not TO be drawn
into a controversy with fellow whose
or Y idea of public discussion is to
buster and blackguard and talk fight.
Ii he wants to discuss this public
question.after the style OF a bar-room
alteration he can have the field all
TO himself. That kind Of manners
don't settle things In this town.
This Is not a personal controversy
So far as we have seen not line has
been written against any member OF
the resent town council. There is no
desire to detTact from the credit they
deserve for good deal OF sshard work
and poor pay for the benefit Of the
town. The position OF councilman is
not one TO be desired, and we under
stand that all but two OF the old
council want to retire. Whether they
do or not they are entitled to the
thanks OF the town for their services
and no citizen thinks OF making any
personal fight against them.
The only question at issue ID.
whether we want two OF the principal
streets Of the town to go unpaved.
The old council have decided and de-
clared that they will not have them.
IL we want to have them we will have
to elect council who will do it.
That Is the square issue and the yo-
tiers will act on it as a business mat
ter and not as a personal alteration.

Clues Hare Been Investigated But
Nothing Came of it-Aid of the Law
May Be InYOked-Young Man Who
Knows Where the Girls are Will be
Made TO Talk.
W. j. Bradford who is here look
ing for his daughter and his neice
who have been strangely missing
ever since last Thursday was seen
by a representative of this paper
On Wednesday morning. He stated
that he had been investigating a
number of remarks that had been
brought to him but that no definite
information of their whereabouts had
come to his knowledge.
The girls left Ganonsburg on their
way home coming by way of Wheel
ing and Fairmont. Miss Bradford
had been there visiting since last
July and was on her way home ac-
eompanied by her cousin Miss Dean.
They got as far as Morgantown and
were last seen on the West Side.
About seven o'clock on Friday
morning Mr.. Boyles saw them going
up the hill on the West Side After
this no trace has been found of them
on any of the roads going out OF
town. Inquiry in town revealed
that fact that they had been to no
hotel or boarding house.
The search has been kept up for a
day or so but nothing has been
learned. The assistance of the po-
lice has been called upon and they
are aiding. in the search. Mr. Brad
ford desires any one who may have
any information about the girls to
telephone the New DOMINION.
The girls are about sixteen years
of age. Their names are Laura
Bradford and Irene Dean. One of
them is dark, has dark hair and
eyes and is short and thick The
other is somewhat taller has very
light hair and very dark eyes.
They have always conducted
themselves properly as far as Mr..
Bradford knows and may now be in
need of help to get home. Those
who have detained them will il
found be prosecuted to the fullest
extent of the law. Reports having
come to the ears of the father that
a young man in town knows where
the girls are and that he had seen
them often may determine the is
suance of a warrant for the arrest OF
the young man who has the intor-
nation and refuses to tell it to the
proper parties.
The case will be placed in the
hands of the prosecuting attorney
if it is not soon cleared up and the
aid of the law invoked to find out
where the missing ones are

CUBAN WAR CLAIMS
WILL BE PRESSED AGAINST THE
UNITED STATES BY EURO
PEAN POWERS
MILLIONS IN AGGREGATE

State Department UnoficiaIIy Adj
vised That Germany, England
and France VIII Have Bills to
Present When the Time Comes
Payment Rests In the Discretion
of the United States.
WASHINGTON, May 14-The state de-
partment has been Informally advised
that claims aggregating a considerable
amount have been made by British,
French and German residents in Cuba
during the recent instruction, and that
these ultimately will be pressed against
the United States government. The
claims themselves have not yet been pre-
scented, but are being collected by the
several foreign offices as the claimants
send them in. In some cases schedules
have been made and the aggregate stated
to the authorities here The French
claims aggregate between 100000 and
100000 francs. The German claims are
understood to be slightly under those Of
the French, while the British claims are
said to be considerably more than either
the French or German.
These foreign claims are quite distinct
from those of citizens of the United
States, originally against Spain for dam
ages sustained in Cuba during the insur-
rection. The peace treaty specifically
provided for these American claimants,
releasing Spain and stating that the
United States would make such settle
ment as was proper. Under this clause
claims aggregating several millions have
been filed. No provision, however, was
made in the treaty for foreign claimants
and there appears to be much doubt as to
who is liable since the sovereignty over
Cuba has passed out of the hands Of
Spain. The United States having under
taken to look after the American claim
ants, the foreigners are DESTROYS of being
treated in the same manner.
1t was stated at one of the foreign es-
Establishments that there was no DISPOSE
ton to push the claims unduIy, but to
bring them to the attention of the United

SHE IS A BEAUTY.
Brief Glimpse at the New Americas
Cup Defender

SUp DcIehueFs
BRISTOL, r. l., May 13-The doors of
the big shed at the Herreshoff works
where the Columbia Is being built were
swung wide open for a few minutes today
to allow CARLOAD of plating to be car
rted In, and one or two of the outsiders
in the yard had a good view of the new
cup defender. While the inspection was
necessarily short, 1t could be seen that
the bow Of the new boat Is almost
straight from the water line to the stem
and appears to be patterned after the
famous 3O-footers that raced in Nara
gansett bay last year. The new boat has
great overhang, both fore and aft, and
appears to have considerably more beam
and be f1atter on the floor than the De-
fender. From the bilge to the upper
strake the boat appears to come out more
than the Defender, and her wetted SUR
face will probably be more than the old
boat, enabling her to carry a considerably
increased sail area. Her top sides were
apparently of bronze, and were FURNISHED
so that they shone brightly. The TOD
sides are completely plated and the joints
are apparently quite smooth Unlike the
old boat there are no strengthening
straps along the side.
The new boat appeared to stand consd-
erably higher than the Defender. and
will probably draw foot more water.
The work of laying the deck has not yet
begun, and there Is still considerable
riveting to be done
John 3. Herreshoff said today that the
date for the launching had been decided
upon, but would not be made public until
