the terrible wounds on the chtld's

been torn off, evidently in struggles.
The three other children testified
to having been beaten by the moth

beating them. To the Coroner the

To Contestants.

SO many questions are being asked
as to the manner of the final closing
Of the contest that the West Virgin.
ion desires to thoroughly explain the
matter at this time. The issue Of the
West virginian of July 9 will contain
the standing of the candidates at eight
o'clock Saturday evening, July47. No
further statement of the standing OF
any candidate will be given until the
Judges announce their decision. That
everything may be open and above
board at the close, the West Vlrgtnlan
would request that the contestants on
Monday, July 9, place their subscrip-
ton books, votes and certificates, also
money for all unpaid subscriptions IN
sealed packages and present these
packages to representatives Of the

Diamond Rings as TROPHIES.

/ In order to increase its list as
well as to offer reward for faithful
effort on the part of the lodge and
society workers-the West yirginian
lis impelled to offer two handsome
diamond rings to be voted to the la
dy and gentleman who, in the opipr
ion Of the people Of the city and coun-
ty, are most entitled to the honor
and tokens Of esteem, and who re-
ceive the largest number OF votes.
In addition to these fine diamond
will be given to the lady and gen
tleman receiving the second largest
vote.
These handsome diamonds are on
display at the following well known
jewelers.: Ladies first trophy, w. A.
Fisher: Ladies' second diamond, o. A.
and H. II. Hedges: Gents First tro-
ply, Rheildaffer & Brownfield: Cents
second diamond, g. L. Beard. Ali are
beautiful gems and the general pub
lie is invited to see them. They are
beauties.
z It is the desire OF the west virgin
ian that every subscriber and in fact
every one in Marion county should
have a voice in awarding the troph-
les and the only regret is that a sim.
liar offer cannot be made for every
one deserving Of such testimonial.
The rules governing the balloting
have been made as. clear as possible
to permit of absolute Justice and i'm,
partially to ali. The simple clipping
of the ballot published herewith and
filing in the names of those counted
deserving OF the honor will serve to
place them in nomination when the
ballot is received at this Office, and
surely there are may who sit in
lodge meetings with you who deserve
this slight token at your hands. The
thirg to do is to clip the ballots to.
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1906-07-04

This should enable the judges to
count the vote very quickly and a de-
ciston may be rendered by 1880 or
1f:OO o'clock.
There is something essentially
American in the idea of popular vot-
ing contest and that is probably one
reason why the West virginian dia.

created more discussion and attract.

CANNIBALISM REPORTED.
Frightful Stories Of Starvation in
Arctic Circle.

Horrible accounts are reaching st. Peters
burg OF cannibalism and starvation among
tribes tnhabiting the frozen arctic plain of
the Chukchis peninsula, at the extremity
of Asia. Nest of the reindeer died of starva-
ton, during the winter of 1915, leaving
the Inhabitants without means of communi-
cation or food.
During the last winter whole tribes have
died and members OF the 0molons and
Olo1ya tribes, when facing starvation, as
sembled In council and decided that moth
ing remained but death. They agreed that
each head OF family should kill his wife
and children and then commit suicide. The
trtbesmen gathered on a plateau covered
with snow and Ice and In Jhe darkness of
the arctic winter the spartan decision was
executed, not a single member of the two
tribes surviving.
More revolving still is the story of what
occurred in family of the YulkLair tribe.
A mother and nine of her children having
died of hunger the father, a surviving
daughter and a nephew lived upoa The re-
mains and when they were consumed the
father murdered the nephew.
A Russian named Dolganof, who went to
the region to buy furs, reported the situa-
ton to the authorities at YaGutsk. Siberia
He entered a snow hut Of a Ixahir family
while the latter were eating the head of a
murdered relative.

RELIEF TO ENGLAND,
Unfeigned Pleasure Over Outcome of
Moroccan Farley

LONDON. March 31.-Although anticipat-
ed for fortnight the successful outcome
of the Algeciras conference on Moroccan
reforms brought great relief to England, az
during the past year the Moroccan question
was the only one causing serious misgiyings
for the peace Of Europe.
The agreement is considered to be a victory
for France. who retains the preponderance
of influence in financial affairs of the empire
and loses little of what she demanded with
respect to the policing of the country, for
with majority of the powers supporting
her policy the diplomats at Tangier are not
likely to interfere much with the Franco
Spanish officers.
While Great Britain opposed the confer
ence until France had agreed to it. it Is
now realized that the meeting OF the dele
gates served useful objects In cementfng the
Anglo-French entente and dlsslpating the
belief held in many continental capitals that
Great Britain would only support her friend
Wnen IL was to her own interests On the
other hand. 1t assured Great Britain that
she is not involved with a dangerous. ag-
gressive power.
AS for the future, the foreign office Is not
so optimistic, the officials looking upon the
agreement as merely temporary relief 1t
stops aggressive action, but does not pre-
vent the interested nations continuing TO
strengthen their positions until either feels
strong enough TO take without pariey what
II failed to secure through diplomacy. 1t
Is not believed that Germany will give an
her effort to obtain footing in the Mediter-
ranean.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NORFOLK, Va, March 31-The $4,000
damage suit brought by the Washington
heirs of Louis Zanier. killed here by falling
through an elevator shaft in the new Law
building, will be tried in the court of law
and chancery April 6. The suit Is against
E. Patterson, the contractor for the now
building, under whom Zanier was work
Ing at the time he received his fatal In
juries.
Zanier. who was brother of John Zanfer
of Washington, the real plaintiH In the
suit was ascending to the top or eighth
floor OF the building on freight elevator.
carrying In addition some LOCO pounds OF
bagged cement. when the bottom of the
elevator gave way and Zsnter fell through
10 the ground. with the cement on top OF
him. He was horribly crushed and died
shortly after being carried to St Vincent s
Hospital
The defense will be that Zanier had been
warned OF the danger OF the elevator, which
bore signs OF keep off. and which was
known as u freight carrier only 1t will be
charged that the deceased WAS guilty OF
contributory negligence, and that the de-
PENDANT is therefore not responsible
The case will be appealed to the supreme
court of Virginia. no matter how II IS de-
cided here
