HARD TO GIT
Is Information which Iced to
Dropping of Police.
Neither Council nor Chief Of Police
Want to Talk about it-Officers are
said to have Neglected their Duties
No Appointments 70 Fill Vacancies.


The city councilmen and the Chief
of Police are very reticent as to the
reasons which led TO the action IN
suspending the two policemen who
we're dropped by council on Monday
evening. Many questions have been
propounded to those who know what
caused the action but these have
been parted to some extent.
Chief Price said that the council
had some inkling oil the fact that the
policemen had been neglecting their
duty and they called on him for s
report about it. de gave them
what they wanted to know and the
council at once suspended the men
indefinitely
In the case of Frank Canoe among
other charges made it is stated that
be has frequently gone home hours
before he was supposed to be relleY'
ed from duty. On the night OF the
fire az Ream's Drug store he was not
to be found although he was under
orders from the chief as to where he
should be.
The statements about j. z. Flem-
ing are not so direct but it is said
that he has been neglecting his
duty. The attention of the officer
has been called to this but he did
not mend his ways and the council
took action.
No statement has been gained
from the officers themselves and eff.
forts to locate them have not been
successful.
Mr. Fleming has been member
Of the force for several years Canoe
was appointed last year and has not
yet served out his first term for
the city. No steps have yet been
taken to fill the vacancies. The
Chiefsays from hat he can learn the
suspension is to be permanent.

A WHOOP FOR AkNETT.
''Biack Bird" Picks Winner in Sheriff
allty Race.

To the Editor of the NEW DoMINIoN:
Sheriff Greenberry Barrickman is at
the office in the court house today in
connection with the special term of
court over which Hon. Alfred Cald-
we'll is presiding. His presence there
suggests the question of who will be
his successor. In reference to the
numerous candidates for the place, 1
want to say that while SO many are
being spoken Of, by so many different
people, there is one l shall name who
is in the minds of the people and who
when announced, will take the plum.
This is none other than Sylvester
Arnett, the man who assessed the
West Side eight years ago. If he is
q candidate, other otflce-seekers will
need to look for their laurels. This
seems to be the voice of the people so
far as l am able to learn. Come out,
Arnett, and try your nerve and
strength In the race for the sheriffalty.
You made good assessor and we be-
lieve you will make good sheriff.
Now, do not mean to say that
there are no good men in the race,
for there are lots Of them, thank for
tune; but there is only one to be elect
ed this time and IL l am judge of
weather signs in the political sky,
Arnett will have to be defeated by
the man who wants the plum.
Yours 10 Good Faith,
BLACK BIRD.

this is held by wage earners. who are
thus paying for their houses with a
small weekly outlay. In many cases
this is not greater than would be
paid fer rent.
The Society's earnings for the past
six months were large. A dividend
for the period OF A per cent. has been
declared on all installment stock.
The institution is conservatively
managed, and 50 far, has not met

many directions. In the develop
ment of West Virginia IL has been ar
ranged to construct 1890 miles OF
railroad in this State during 1904.
Most of it is already contracted for,

AUGUSTA COUNTY WILL NOT DOWN
Fight to be Revived at the Next Ses-
sion of the Legislature.

Those interested in the formation
Of the proposed county Of Augusta,
the bill for the creation of which met
with such a disastrous fate at Char
lesion last winter, say that the mat
ter has by no means been allowed to
to go by default and that at the next
session of the legislature every effort
will be brought to bear to achieve the
desired result. In conversation
with one of those interested, the
gentleman said:
"We propose TO see this thing
through. Our people want it, and Of
right we should have it. We we're
tricked at Charleston at the last ses-
sion af the legislature, but we will
not be again. There will be a new
deal, with new men In the legislative
body and we will win In the long
run. II not, it will not be because
of any lack of effort on the part Of
the friends OF the new county"

Meeting Failed.
From Saturdays Daily.
1he glass workers at the w. r.
Jones Window Glass Factory went
back to work at twelve o'clock last
night after being off since Tuesday.
The question of wages was settled.
and il the agreement entered into by
the men ami the employers is observ-
ed:the factory will run uninterrupt-
eddy until the close OF the present
fire. This is good news To everybody
and the public generally are glad
the men have accepted the PROPOSE
ton of the employers.
The factory is now being run on
cooperative basis. The glass
WORKERS have agreed that the com
pany shall retain twenty five per
cent of the regular scale wages un-
til the end Of the fire. II the glass
manufactured at the end of that
time is sold at profit, the workmen
will be paid this in full. If there is
loss, the employees and the com
pany will share it equally.
The conditions of the window
glass trade at present would not
warrant the running of the factory
on any other basis. Even at this,
there will probably be very little
profit in the trade. Both the CON-
pany and the employees, however
believe it better 10 run the factory
than to allow 1t to stand idle,
A meeting Of the manufacturers OF
the county was recently held in
Pittsburg. The object of the meet
ing was to combine in the new Man
ufacturers Glass. Company a charter
for which was recently secured. A
large number OF manufacturers were
present but the meeting resulted in
| failure.
As result glass will be sold in
open market and the wages paid will
be the lowest for years. The trade
is thoroughly demoralized and every
thing seems TO be going to rack
One Of the principal reasons why the
company was not formed was be
cause of the disposition OF the fact
cries which wanted TO share in the
benefits of the proposed combine but
did not want to be governed by it.
1t now seems to be case of every
man for himself. Fifty eight of tn,
factories have already made agree
ments with their men to pay then
market money and then TO shar,
profits with them at the close of tn,
fire. Mr.. johnson who was chair
man of the organizing committe,
says that there will be no profits tC
divide.
Taking it all around the situation
is worse than it has been known fol
years and all efforts to better it
seem to have met with failure
The workman every where seem dis
posed to stand by the manufacturer
and do the best they can understht
circumstances until things work oui
to better shape.
