CONNER, lAL ASSOCIATION
NOW LIKELY TO DISBAND
San Joaquin Valley Organization Is
Not Meeting With the Necessary
Encouragement.

FRESNO, May 4.-From reports
made at the Chamber Of Commerce
it is almost certain that the San Joa-
quin Valley Commercial Association
will be disbanded and that Fresno
County will have no exhibit at Port
land Fresno is not giving the asso-
citation financial encouragement San
Joaquin, Merced and MADEIRA are
ready, Tulare and Kern will not come
In and Kings and Stanislaus are wav-
ering The outlook is therefore not
bright for united action and financial
support. AS regards the exhibit, only
three counties can furnish exhibit ma
terial to fill the space set aside for the
valley by the State commission. These
are Fresno, San JOAQUIN and Tulare.
San Joaquin has declared that it will
not allow its material to be used for
a valley exhibit unless the other valley
counties go in. None of the other
counties have available material. Nor
will Fresno install raisin seeder ex-
hfbit, legal complications from the
use of seeder patents being feared.

HORRIBLE DEED OF a DRUNKEN

CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-With deS-

Miller, a restaurant waiter, 20 years
old, at 300 O'Clock this morning shot

For months Miller, it is said, had
been dissipating and not assisting in
the support of his family. The wife
was employed as a waitress, and pro-
vided for the household.
The police say the couple frequent

woman to advance to Miller major

breast and followed it with a slash
across his thoat, falling beside his
wife while his own blood welled out
upon the floor.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. H.
With the galleries of the chambers
packed to overlooking with visitors
and nearly all members at thei:.
desks, the twenty-seventh regular
session of the West Virginia Legis-
lature convened to-day for the usual
forty-fiye days session. AS the next
two months will witness the most I'M
portant law-maling epoch the State
has ever seen, there is much signifi-
canoe attached to the present bodies.
and the personnel of the members.
The chief object the administra-
ton hopes to attain is complete sane
ton of its work in the past in regard
TO the new tax laws passed at spe.
cial session of the Legislature held
last summer.
The contest for the Speakership OF
the House, which was secondary
matter when compared to that in the
Senate, was settled late Tuesday
evening, when an ultimatum. issued
by Goyernor-elect Dawson, was hand
ed out to the members of his party.
1t was then that all opposition to the
administration candidate, Paul Gross
cup, of Charleston, disappeared, and
it was agreed that he should be
Speaker. with Harry Shaw, of Fair
mont, as chief clerk. The latter held
the same position at the last regu-
lar session.
The. members of the Senate. how
ever, were not SO lenient to the crack
Of the administration whip, and the
ultimatum from the Governor-elect
was defantly met, even by some of
those who had made up their minds
to go with the administration in re-
gard to the choosing of president
AT last nights caucus, however. the
administration succeeded in landing
its man for the presidency.
Gus A. Northcott, of Cabell coun-
ty, won, but not without stiff op-
position from the "antis" who backed
Marshall, of Hancock county, game1y
to the last.
Tax legislation is not the only item
of law-making that promises to alb
sorb much of the time of the pres.
ent session. There is powerful de-
mand being made by labor unions for
fellow-servants' bill. To emphasize
their demands for the measure the
railroad organizations have sent large
delegations here, who promise to be
important members of the Third
House until some action is taken on
their demands. Important amend
ments to the charter of the City OF
Fairmont, new charters for Wheel
ing, Parkersburg and other cities,
and dispensary law, are among the
measures that will be brought up.
At the stroke of the hour Chief
Clerk John Harris, of the Senate, rap
ped the session to order, and called
to the chair DIR. w. H. Cook, of
Window, one of the Oldest members.
After reading to the members the
constitution regarding the session, DIR.
Cook called for nominations for
president, and the Republicans plac-

f. II is our intention early in the cons

line from IT'S terminus in Fairmonf
TO the BeIlview addition and your
round.house and shops. 50 that the
employees of your company located at
these points will be within as close

three blocks of the heart OF the city.
We now have at Beliview water. gus.

spring OF our street car line 10 BELL
view persons residing IN thls addi-
ton employed at the railroad round
houses and shops will be able 10
reach any part Of Fairmont from
those points In ten minutes.
That Fairmont is the logical place
for the men who are employed in
this new proposed freight run 10 lay
over need hardly be stated, as II is
not only the largest originating point
of freight ON your road, but incIu-
ded in the coal originating at Fair

1t is also. of course. the terminus

We understand that a large major
