city, on charge of selling beer with
out a. license The arrest was made
by Deputy Marshal Brown on infor-
nation contained in letter to an Of
fetal of the federal court in this state
Tyrolli was brought before Commits
sioner Thomas on Monday, and four
witnesses were subpoened. These wit
nesses failed to establish the guilt OF
the accused man, but divulged such
information as caused Commissioner
Thomas to hold the accused man,
pending the evidence of other wit
nesses.
The testimony Of other witnesses,
which was later secured, showed con-
clusiyely that Tyrolli had been guilty
of selling beer without license, and
Mr.. Thomas thereupon held him for
the action Of the federal grand jury
at Parkersburg, fixing bail in the sum
of $780,
TyrolIi was unable to furnish the
required bail, and was taken to the
Wood county jail. His case will come
up before Judge Dayton at the next
term of court there.
The capture of Tyrolli was clever
piece of work on the part of Commits
sioner Thomas and Deputy Marshal
Brown, who have been working on the
case for the past two weeks.

departure was rather hasty one is
borne out by the fact that close friends

anything about the matter, further

IMPORTANT MATTERS TO COME UP
Executive Will Propose Amendments

Local Option Law.

Local Option Law.
Gov. William M. o. Dawson late
Tuesday afternoon made public his de-
cision to call an extra session of the
state legislature, to meet January 81
Preliminary to this the executive call
ed special election for January IL
in the Thirteenth senatorial district,
comprising the counties of Barbour,
Pendleton, Randolph and Upshur, to
fill the vacancy in the state senate
created by the death Of Senator w. ID.
Hallbott, who died during the last SEES
sion of the legislature last winter.
The proclamation for the special SEES
sion has not yet been issued, but pro-
misses to be Forthcoming in few days.
Under the constitution an extra SEES
sion called by the governor can leg
islate only on those subjects specified
i'll the call, and although the governor
has not designated what the call shall
contain, in his statement he says that
many subjects in the form of remedial
legislation will be included for the
consideration of the lawmakers. The
following subjects are portion of
these:
Regulating and limiting the levies by
county courts.
Municipal corporations and boards
of education
Abolition of the fee system for the
county officers and payment of sala-
ries.
Submitting such amendments to the
constitution as the legislature sees
fit.
Amending election law, especially
the enactment Of corrupt practices
act
A better registration law, and bet
ter form of ballot
A general law concerning elections.
Dondnd ;pdah+od,o.e
To amend laws concerning salaries
of assessors.
To amend or appeal the social club
license law
To pass local option law.
Revision of the school laws.
To consider the Virginia debt
To pass uniform accounting law
In his statement Governor Dawson
does not mention for consideration the
enactment of direct primary law,
which was defeated at the last session
of the legislature after long and
bitter struggle, the measure being de-
feated by the southern counties, which
were opposed to the Cooper bill, be-
cause of the large colored vote in
these counties. Neither does the exec
utive mention the bill creating
railroad commission, which died in the
committee at the last session. How
ever it is expected that either one, or
both, Of these matters will be inclu-
ded in the proclamation, as it is
known that Governor Dawson is
stanch advocate of direct primary
bill
The including of the local option
bill in his call will mean bitter
fight in the legislature as this is the
first move of the kind in the state,
the temperance laws being very lax.
The governor favors vote every two
years on the question of whisky Ii
cense in every corporated city. town
or village, and outside of them in the
smallest political divisions practical
