TWENTY YEARS
MAKE CHANGES
Ernest Allen Moore, Rip Van
! Winllle Like, Returns to See
Great Things.


Ernest Moore Allen, former
Clarksburg boy, arrived in the city
today after an absence of many
years. He is a member of the AL
Wilson company, playing at the
Grand tonight. Like all other resi-
dents who have been absent from
their native city for any length of
time. Ern is very much surprised
and impressed with the remarkable
growth of his home city. Like the
politician Ern just at present is in
the hands of his friends"
Mr.. Allen is nephew of Major A.
c. Moore, of this city, and spent his
hoyhood days here, and went away
to school and visited the city from
time to time after that but has not
been here for twenty years. On his
last visit to Clarksburg in 1887 he
gave a complimentary swimming ex.
hibition, in the West Fork river near
the old fair grounds, which was
largely attended, the entire populace
turning out On that visit he was
here from Saturday until Monday.
Arriving here with the Al II. Will
son company, which appears at the
Grand opera house tonight, he saw
nothing that he recognized except
the old swimming hole just South
of the new railroad station, which
is an old landmark never to be for
gotten by the generation of ciarks-
burg of his own age and day here.
He beheld with amazement the
Waldo hotel erected by the city's
first citizen, and felt that he was in
a real cosmopolitan city instead of
the country town he used to know.
In talking of the city he express
ed the hope that Judge Goff would
soon build an up-to-date opera house
for the people that love him so well,
pointing out the urgent necessary for
it in this great period of develop
ment.
During the day Mr.. Allen met
many of his old acquaintances, who
all gave him the glad hand and re-
ioiced to see him again.
Tonight at the Grand Mr.. Allen
will play leading part-simon
Frenzel. the bold bad william.

A fight to the death is to be de-
clared by the council at Adamston
against the street car company and
the company in turn ], proposes. TO
show that august body thing or
two. Both sides are said to be up
TO something innocent" but Just
what is hard to figure out.
After much talk on the subject
the town council has decided to have
an ordinance drafted requiring fend-
ers to be attached to street cars.
This is because the sages there
claim is track is too near the pave
ments. The tenders are designed
to scoop up the pedestrians hit by
the cars as the walkers are on the
sidewalks.
The street car company proposes
in that event that all who are ac-
customed to boarding interurban
cars at the junction will have to
walk to another point to board the
cars. In other words that stop will
be dispensed with, though no one

that wants to get on the car there
is a citizen of Adamston. The car
company also proposes to charge Eve
cents for going into and through
Adamston, that is the fare line will
be east and west of Adamston. It
is to. cost five cents to ride in or out
of Adamston.
Just how much more it is going

company and the general public no

1t is to be fight to finish, how
ever, and every one win watch the

AMMONIA GAS
Escapes From Ice Making Machinery
ut Brewery and Engineer Ray
is Slightly Overcome.

C. E. Ray, night engineer at the
Clarksburg Brewing Company's
plant in the East End, was slightly
overcome by ammonia gas at 1920
o'clock Thursday night when a small
break on one of the ice making
machines occurred He was soon
resusticated and suffered no i'll eff
fects from his experience. The
break was soon repaired and the
plant put into smooth running order
after a small amount of damage had
been done.
A stufting box on. the ice making
machine accidentally screwed OF re-
sulting in a small explosion and an
escape of ammonia gas. P. j. Ly-
den and Engineer w. w. Price ar
rived at the engine room shortly af-
ter the accident and they assisted
Mr.. Ray in getting the break fixed
and the machinery running all right.
A report was circulated around
the city that serious explosion had
occurred at the brewery and-that one
man was badly hurt and consider
able damage done, but the report
was exaggerated as the foregoing ac-
count shows.

FIELDS ARGUES
HIS OWN CASE
Washington City Attorney, Now in
Prison, Addresses Court Ably
in Own Behalf.

On his own petition for a writ Of
hapeas corpus against Charles E.
Haddox, warden of the State peni-
tentiary, Thomas NJ. Fields, attor-
neY. lof Washington, d. c., seeks his
liberty from the penitentiary, where
he Is serving five-years sentence
imposed upon him by the supreme
court of the District of Columbia,
and he argued his own case before
Judge A. G. Dayton in federal court
here Friday in an able and exhaus-
tive manner, reading many citations
and referring to cases and precedents
to establish his contention, besides
presenting in a logical manner the
law covering the case. Associated
with him in the case is Attorney
Charles McCamic, his attorney. Mr..
Fields was listened to, by members
of the bar and others with profound
attention as he evinced the posses
sion Of extensive legal knowledge
and is fluent speaker. Noticeable
was the lack of sentiment in his ad-
dress, it being confined to the cold
facts and the law.
The petitioner. argued that the
sentence was, void because it was
beyond the power of the court under
the statute which is alien to it. Al
so, he claimed the sentence was void,
because 1t was not due process of
law as the statue does not apply.
Still, another reason given for his
liberty is sentence subjects the petit
toner to involuntary servitude for
no crime. He argued also that the
sentence is void because it is based
exclusively on forced judicial ret
respective and enlarged application,
whereby the forfeiture clause gives
unconstitutional effect and is there
fore null and void. Another reason
assigned is that the forfeiture clause
is omitted and 1t adds labor.
Fields and Andrew ]. Lipscomb
were chancery receivers for the
Washington Beneficial Endowment
Association and were bonded at $20.-
900. They were indicted November
%, 1908, for the alleged misappro-
priation of funds of the association
several years prior to that date and
long before the statue under which
Fields was convicted was enacted by
Congress-an act retroactive in its
nature by the construction placed on
it by the trial court They were
, charged with misappropriating $15,-
974.17 of the funds of the associa-
tion. And July %, 1905, sentence
for five years in the penitentiary was
imposed on Fields and he was taken
TO the State prison at Moundsville
and confined therein and is now con-
fined.
The object of the writ of habeas
corpus sought is to require the
warden to appear and show cause
why Fields is confined, or to compel
him to give him his liberty, If he
has not a true and lawful reason for
the retention of Fields, to give him
his liberty by setting him free.
Attorney Fields began speaking at
1915 o'clock and continued until
the noon recess. When court re-
convened in the afternoon at 2
O'Clock he resumed his argument.
He closed at $40 o'clock and was
followed by E. NJ. Showalter for the
government. ~@ziEs

AMUSEM ENTS.
L. A. Sylvia, Hypnotist.

Owing to the fact that the amateur
night performances of the last few
weeks have been a little strenuous,
the amateurs were dispensed with at
the Opera house last evening and in
stead Lee A. Sylvia was introduced as
a hypnotist. The house was packed to
the doors when he began his part of
the entertainment, but before the first
part was finished the crowd had be-
come somewhat smaller.
Sylvia went on a still hunt for sew
eral articles in the audience, some of
which he found and some more of
which he didn't find When he sue
ceeded he bowed very gracefully to the
applause, but when he didn't, it was
because people in the audience kept
whispering. Here it is and over
during this part of the performance.
luck, finding the articles quickly, with
others, he didn't find the articles at all
The most laughable part of the whole
proceeding was Sylvia's efforts to
hypnotic q hen. The hen was laid
upon a table and enough mystic passes
made about her head to put any self
respecting hen to sleep, but biddy
would not down.
The last half of the entertainment
was more interesting, as two young
men were put through series of conf
cal antics for the amusement OF the
SPECTATORS.
