teution of council that there are two
Mapel avenues in town they referred
the matter TO the councilmen from
the First and Second wards. One
Of the streets is in South Park and
the other is the old Kingwood pike.
One or the other will have to b,
renamed.
Squire Hayes has agreed to Civ,
ten feet to the city along his prop
erty on Chestnut street, five feet
being given from each side. Thi:

street. The council ordered thai
curb be set on the street along tht
'Squire's property and the street
paved l6 feet wide On July first
when the transfer of the ten fee

AFTER PRICES SCALP,
Labor Unions will Present Pc
titlon to Council.
This will Request his Removal From
the Police FOrce-Attorneys Retain
ed to Push the Matter-Demand
Crews ont of Scrap at Spring Park
Labsr Day.

The labor unions of .Morgantown
are ready to make determined effort
TO get the official scalp of Chief of
Police r. B. Price. They have en-
gagged Cox and Baker as attorneys to
push the case for them.
A petition is being circulated and it
was Intended to have placed this be-
fore city council on Monday night but
the details could not all be arranged
10 time and the petition went over
until the next meeting OF council.
The agitation grows out Of the fight
at Spring Park on Labor day in which
Price struck Robert Bloom and serl-
ously injured him. The unions have
taken it up on account Of the fact
that they had the celebration under
their auspices and resent the fact that
a disturbance took place.
Mr., Baker stated this morning that
the petitioners would appear in person
before council at their next meeting
and would press the demand for the
removal of Price from his Office. He
says that they have manifested much
warmth IN connection with the mat
ter.
Bloom is reported to be seriously i'll.
He grows worse and requires constan
visits from his physician. He is spit
ting blood and suffers great deal OF
pain. The doctors appear to be anx-
ious about his condition.

IRRIGATION.
Most Interesting Experiments
Are to be Made

BY Director Stewart Of the Experiment
Station-Farmers to be shown that
They Can Always Have Crops If they
Take Proper Steps.
At the recent meeting of the Board
of Regents of the West Virginia
University, j. H. Stewart, director
of the Agricultural Experiment Sta
zion. was authorized to procure some
lands in the Ohio Valley for the
purpose of experimenting in irriga-
ton in the interest of truck garden
ing in particular, and also for the
interest of farming in general, says
the Parkersburg News.
1t is the purpose of the board to
have Mr.. Stewart and his assistants
make long and careful experiments.
These experiments, which are to be
commenced shortly, will be of inter
est to Parkersburgers for several
reasons. In the first place the ac-
tion OF the board is largely due to
the efforts of Regent J. B. Finley;
who believes that these experiments
will be of untold benefit. Again it is
likely that some farm near Parkers
burg will be selected to make the
tests.
The idea is to get in the gas belt
so as to use gas for the purpose of
pumping water from the Ohio river
to some established reservoir, and
with the water TO scientifically irri-
gate land in dry seasons and make
careful experiments with the hope
that later farmers will be JUSTIFIED
individually or seyeraliy to install
irrigsting plants
The board realizes that in many
farming districts in the state ali
kinds OF farm products are shipped
into the state. In the Big kanawha
valley, for instance, fonr-fifths of the
farm products consumed come from
out of the state. They want to
show the farmers that they can in
sure themselves good and paying
crops each year
There are large quantities of light,
sandy soil along the Ohio that is es-
peeially adapted for irrigation. Mr..
Finley urged practieularly that ex-
periments be made between Parkers
bnrg and Marietta.
1t is needless to say that under
the direction OF Mr.. Stewart the ex-
periments will be carefully and sci
entifically made and watched, and
that much valuable benefit TO farm
ers and truck gardeners will be the
result.

TWENTY DEPUTIES
Were Asked to be Sworn in by
County Court.
The Court and the County Officials
Decided That They We're Not Needed.
No Prospects of Any Trouble That
Local Officers Cannot Deal With
Effectively.

The county court has adjourned
after busy session. They meet
again in three weeks to attand to
some special business.
1t was requested that the court
swear in twenty deputies to assist
the sheriff in preserving order in the
strike district of the city but this
was decided to be unnecessary.
Sheriff Barrickman came in from
the country and secured the names
of men to take the places but after a
canvass of the situation it was
thought that there was no need OF
this expense.
No warrants have been sworn out
through the sheriffs office and when
ever there is is any occasion to make
any arrests Mr.. Barrickman and his
present force feel like they are in
every way competent to carry out the
instructions of the prosecuting at
tornev.
IL is reported that the Seneca
people will bring in special train
load of workmen and when they do
this trouble is feared. However,
they are not discussing their plans,
aud it NAV be that there is nothing
in the report.
The town officers express them
felves as being fully able TO cope
with aEt situation which may arise
down the Avenue and elsewhere,
and do not fear that they will have
any trouble in preserving order.
One thing which is making for trou
BILE is the attitude of strikers towards
the detectives who are serving as
special officers. The men despise
these visitors and are not at all back
ward about expressing the senti-
ment that they will not submit to
arrest by any OF them at any stage
of the game.

SHROUDED In MYSTERY
Is an Affair which Is Agitating
Wheeling.
Nude body of a Weman Found in the
River Identified by her sister as a
Member of one Of the Oldest Families
In the First City-Suicide or Murder.

Nude D0dy OF woman round in the
River Identified by her sister as a
Member of one Of the Oldest Families
In the First City-Suicide or Murder
A letter from John Wallace of
Wheeling written last night says:
The body of a young woman, which
was nude except for shoes and
stockings, and was found near the
south point of Wheeling Island at
1880 O clock this morning by Jack
Leightner and John DAILY, who lived
in houseboat at West Wheeling.
They towed their find TO the city
side of the river 1t was viewed by
hundreds on the river shore before
removed to Hills undertaking rooms,
where hundreds of others called dur.
ing the day.
During the afternoon the young
woman was identified as Miss Ella
Zane OF South Front street, Island,
member of one of the oldest fami
lies in Wheeling, Colonel Ebenezcr
Zane having been the founder of
Wheeling. Miss Zane, who was
about % years OF age, has lived the
life of a recluse for three years,
having never been seen away from
home during that period. She was
a petite brunette of striking beauty,
and until she began her secluded
life was prominent in Society.
Death by drowning was announced
as the cause of death after post-mor-
tenn was held. Coroner Fitzpatrick
held to murder theory in his person
al view, but an inquest has not been
held. On the forehead and face were
few slight skin abrasures, which
might have come from contact with
objects IN the water, but the back OF
one hand was bruised as though sus-
tanned in warding off blew. The
corpse looked singularly life-like, which
created the impression that it had not
been long in the water. 1t is said
Miss Zane had been missing since
Sunday.
Suicide is the generally accepted
theory but the lack Of clothing is a
circumstance that has not been ex-
planned. The deceased was identified
by her sister, school teacher
