(News-Democrat Leased Wire Service }
Parkersburg, w. Va, July 25.-Judge
Jackson and District Attorney Biz
zard gave instructions today to Mar
shal Elliott not to execute the order
for the arrest of w. B. Wilson, the
secretary of the United Mine workers.
now in Indianapolis, on charges of
disobeying the injunction.
The reason for the decision not to
arrest Wilson and bring him here is
due to the desire not to arouse more
bitterness. The, charge against him
will be held up and if he should come
to Fairmont district to take active
part in the strike, his arrest on the old
warrant will be made.
The strike injunction cases against
Burke, Mckay and eight others were
continued indefinitely today, pending
good behavior. Judge Jackson said
the moment any of the defendants
disobeyed the injunction, he would be
rearrested and tried and clemency
might not be expected

Trolley Line Fro m Akron
to Cleveland
HAS BEEN PROJECTED
Fast Time Will be Made Allow
ing Canton People to Reach
Cleveland In Less Than
Two Hours.

Backed by ample capital, it is claim
ed plan is we'll under way for the
building of an electric railway be-
tween Cleveland and Akron which will
carry passengers from one city to the
other in less than an hour. The
route selected is not announced, but IL
is known that it is over private prop
erty entirely, save where it crosses
public roads, and is several miles
shorter than any road heretofore built
or contemplated between the two
cities. The grades and curves, also
are reduced absolutely to the mini
mum.
Close connections will be made with
the Canton-Akron cars in Akron and
the trip between Canton and Cleve-
land will be made in less than two
hours.
The road, it is claimed, will be dou-
BILE tracked and will have first class
equipment throughout. 1t is expected
to cut the time from Akron to Cleve-
land to three-quarters of an hour-a
point never reached by the steam
roads.
The right Of way has been substan-
TALLY secured.
The projectors of the road claim
that fundamental principle has been
overlooked in the construction of cleo
trio roads heretofore, and that is ig-
noring the time element that with a
double track, private right of way and
superior roadbed and equipment there
is no reason why electric cars should
not cover 60 miles an hour and with
far less discomfort to the passengers
than on the best managed steam roads
of today.

QUEER DEVICE
Detects Presence OF
Steel War Vessels 60
Miles Away.

Washington, July 25.-Consterna-
ton and curiosity have been created
among naval officers interested in the
coming mock military operations on
Lond Island Sound by the report that
has escaped from the war department
that the army has, all ready for use,
an instrument by which the approach
of a steel-armored battleship, cruiser
or gunboat can be detected at a dis
tance of 90 miles. This wonderful de-
vice. which army officers who appear
to be in on the secret say will give
ample warning of an attack to the
forces in the fortifications on the
sound, is known as "the magnetic bal
ance."
1t is of extremely delicate mech
anism, and, tits claimed, so sensitive
to the presence In the body of water
in which II is immersed that the size
of the vessel which causes itsindicator
to fiuctuate can be estimated with a
fair amount of accuracy.

STRANGE FIRE
Has Been Burning in Swan p
for 3 Months--Expiana-
tion Sought.

Beaumont, Texas, July 25.-Inform-
alton has been received here of a
strange phenomenon in the southwest
ern corner of Louisiana, a desolate
marshy country, almost uninhabited
and uninhabitable. The information
states that the ground in that section
took fire about three months ago and
has been burning ever since.
A hole half mile wide, two miles
long and six feet deep has already
been burned out, and the fire con-
tinues slowly and surely. The banks
are clean cut when left by the fire,
but soon tumble in by the action OF
rain.
No explanation is offered by the
informant; rather he seeks some eX-
planation of this strange occurrence
The soil in this vicinity for the mos;
part is nothing but sea marsh, and
it is surmised that gas is escaping
through this in sufficient quantities
to make it combustible.

THE BORN LEADER.

When he was born they stood in awe
And looked at him and then agreed
That he was not a common child:
This boy" they said, "is born to lead.
At school he lead his classes, and
He passed through college where hs
lead;
The ones who loved him gladly saw
His splendid future stretch ahead.
They said that he was born TO lead
when first they fondly sized him up.
And they were right-today he holds
The string that holds hts darling's
pun.

We see the CLEAN of gladness
That in the future lies;
We rush ahead and claim 1t,
And 10 its beauty dies!
Those peaks alone are grand
That in the distance stand

We know the depths of pleasure
That We have left behind;
One day we held them lightly,
To all their beauties blind
In the future and the past
All the joys of men are massed-
Tho present is unkind.

A SHORT MESSAGE
viii Be Prepared for the lesis-
lature After Nash's Return
From Ca amp--CoIum-
bus Notes.
CFrom STAFF Correspondent

Columbus, July 25.--Governor
Nash's message calling the general
assembly together will be brief. He
will not begin its preparation until he
returns from the encampment of the
Second brigade of the National guard,
which will be about the middle of
August. The message will probably
not contain over 1000 words.
s. M. Bennett, special counsel in the
office of the attorney general, returned
from Cincinnati, Thursday, where he
conferred with Senator Longworth and
Wade Ellis, of that city, who are en-
gagged in drafting a code bill which
will be turned over to Governor Nash,
who will take it to camp, where he
will go over its provisions carefully.
Mr.. Bennett brought a section of the
bill with him for submission to the
governor. He would not discuss its
contents.
Clinton Rogers, secretary Of the Ma
tional Municipal league, spent two
hours in consultation with Governor
Nash Thursday during which the pro-
posed municipal code was discussed.
He spoke against the board system
and approved the home rule plan. The
league represents $50 organizations
which aim to improve municipal gov
ernment.
Ralph d. Cole, of Findlay, one of
the Republican leaders. says he will
object TO classifying municipalities un-
der $1,000 population as villages. He
thinks the dividing line should be
placed at 5000 or thereabouts. Rep
resentative Gear, of Wyandot, will in
troduce general county salary bill
to take the place of the special coun-
ty salary acts which the supreme
court has knocked out. State Libra-
rian G. B. Galbreath doubts very much
il the general assembly will be able
to successfully cope with the subject
of code legislation in one session. He
inclines to the belief that there will
many things be done along this line
by succeeding legislatures.
The period of grace allowed cor
porations to file reports and pay taxes

Secretary of State Laylin, expires to.
day. A penalty of $500 may be en-
| forced for failure to observe the law
with an addition of 800 for each day
the delinquency exists. A number of
corporations have not yet complied
and suspicion prevails that some are
/ trying to evade the law. A rigid ex-
animation is being made of the rec
ords to determine what concerns are
delinquent.
Judge w. B. Crew, of Morgan coun-
ty, is now member of the supreme
court of Ohio. He qualified before a
notary and secured his commission
from the secretary of state Thursday.

nominee for supreme Judge, was ap-
