of education should be a board for

be required to keep the records of
the board Of education at the county

JACKSON
SALE ISIJP.
In Federal Court at Parkersbhrg
For Judge Dayton To
Make Decision.
LARGER PRICE is WANTED.
Colonel Thompson is the Purchaser
From Trustee At the Price
of 100000.

That the purchaser of the great
coal tract formerly owned by Colonel
7. Moore Jackson at Lumberport was
Col. ]. V. Thompson, of Uniontown.
Pa. and not Mr.. Charles G. conaway
of Fairmont. came to light Monday
along with other important facts re-
ssrding the sale when the case of
Col. Jackson against his trustees
came up in a regular term of the U.
S. Court, Judge A. C. Dayton, pre-
siding at Parkersburg.
Some time ago it became known
that the T. Moore Jackson tract OF
coal lying between Lumberport and
Dola station on the Short Line rail-
road had been sold and the rumor
was that the property had been
bought by Mr.. Charles E. Conaway.
Both Colonel Jackson and Mr.. Con
away refused to discuss the matter
and It was only on the inside that
the details of the deal were made
known.
Thompson the Buyer.
The hearing brought forth the fact
that 1t was Col. ]. v. Thompson. Of
Uniontown. who wa sthe real pur-
chaser and that the deal was con-
summated by Col. W. H. Conway,
the well known Fairmont attorney.
Mr.. c. E. Conaway figured in the
transaction to the extent that he was
the broker who conducted the sale.
Over four thousand acres were
turned over to Colonel Thompson by
Colonel Jackson's trustee and the
price paid for the property was
5000, 900.
Col Jackson, 1t is said, objected
to the action of his trustees in
selling the property claiming that
they did not receive enough money
for the coal. The case was carried
to the U. S. Court and recently
Judge A. C. Dayton arranged for a
special hearing. A large number Of
well known attorneys figured in the
hearing.
Wants Sale Stopped.
The suit brought by Colonel Jack
son is to stop the sale of the prop
'erty.
Colonel Jackson's trustees are ].
f. Sands, of Fairmont; John W.
Davis. OF clarksburg, and Senator
Ira f. Robinson. Of Grafton.
Colonel Thompson has engaged
Messrs. ". S. Meredith and Colonel
W. H. Conaway. Of Fairmont, and
Attorney John Basel, of Clarksburg
as his attorneys and these gentle
men accompanied Colonel Thompson
to Parkersburg Sunday evening.
The developments rank in import
ance among the financial deals of the
past year. 1t had long been known
that the property had been sold but
there was a great deal OF speculation
as to Its buyer and but few knew the
price that was derived from the
property.
Col. Thompson had nothing TO say
about the use he would put the prop
erty to in the future. He said he
would rather await the settlement Of
the case before announcing the plans
he had in mind for the tract.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. IA
The champion of two-cent fare bill
has been found in the lower house In
the person of Hon. C. p. Craig. of st.
Marys the delegate in the house from
Peasants county. He has prepared a
bill, which, II enacted. will require
the railroads of West Virginia to
charge passengers not more than two
cents mile for fare, when the dis
tance exceeds more than five miles.
In the later case a charge of ten
cents can be made for any distance
less than five miles. Mr.. Craig in
his bill makes no mention of branch
lines, which. 1t seems, has been the
bone of contention between those
who do not favor a two cent fare
under any circumstances and those
who favor 1t on the trunk lines.
The bill as drawn up by Mr..
Craig. requires the railroads to
charge not more than two cents per
mile for carrying passengers and
make railroad tickets transferable.
The bill says no person. company or
corporation, owning or operating a
railroad in this State, shall charge
more than two cents per mile for
carrying passengers unless the dis
tance is less than FIVE miles, and in
that instance a charge of ten cents
may be made. The provision reuui-
ing the railroads to make the tickets
transferable says all railroad tickets
shall be good until used and shall he
received by payment of fare. when
presented by any passenger on a
train stopping regularly at the sta,
tionnamed in the ticket.
Another provision in the bill that
provides for the punishment OF ths
offender, SAYS that any person. com,
-pany or corporation or any agent OF
corporation. operating railroad IN
this State. violating any of the pro
visions of the proposed act, shall fol
each ofense. be fined not les than
800 and not more than $500. The
second section OF the proposed bill
provides that all acts or parts Of
acts. not consistent with the one pro,
posed. are repealed.

GARY MAKES RECIPROCAL
AGREEMENT WITH MCCORMICK
Harvester Company Is to Receive AS
sistance of Steel Trust I'm Extending
Export Trade and VIII Buy Gary
Products.

New York, Jan. Sat a conference
between Cyrus H. Mccormick, presi-
dent of the International Harvester
pany, and Ebert H. Gary, chairman
of the board of directors of the United
States Steel corporation. in Judge
Gary's office today a community of in
terest was agreed on. It involves no
merger, exchange of securities, or any
new financing. It is simply a trade
agreement.
The harvester company will receive
great assistance in the extension of its
export trade. The steel corporation.
will receive a large new market for
its products.
The harvester company owns large
iron ore deposits in the Mesaba and
Vermflion ranges where also most of
the steel corporations ore lands are
| located. 1t has numerous mills in the
! Chicago district. But the increase in
| business has been such that the COM
pany would have been Obliged to pur-
chase a large part of it's steel and iron
/ from other manufacturers and to in
| crease largely the capacity of its steel
| and iron plants This would have
been a matter involving a large out
4 lay. Under the new plan the harvester
! company will purchase most of the
| iron and steel which it does not manu-
| facture itself from the United States
Steel corporation. Its ore beds will be
worked under an agreement with the
oliver Ore Mining company, the prin-
cipal ore mining subsidiary Of the steel
corporation.
1t is probable also that some way
will be found of operating the harvest
er company's ore steamers in commune
ton with the steel corporations fleet
The harvester company is to receive
the assistance of a large, we'll organized
foreign force of the United States Stee
corporation.

PLAN DEFEAT OF HANLY MAN
Indiana Representatives Resent Inter-
ference With Speakership and
Plan Deadlock.

Indianapolis Ind, Jan. S.-The hotels
tonight are crowded with members of
the Legislature, which will convene here
on Thursday, and much interest is be-
ing manifested in the situation in re-
spect to officers of the senate and
house. The democrats are in minor
ity in both bodies and there is little
strife for the honor of nominations,
but among the republicans much hard
work is being done and rivalries are in
tense
The fact that Governor Hanly some
weeks ago cleared the field of all speak
ershlp candidates except f. +. Branch
Of Martinsville would seem to have re-
duced the interest to a minimum, but
some of the republicans resent execu-
tive interference and Representatives
Meeker of Monticello and Bowlus of
this city say they will not support
Branch If he is nominated by the eau
Gus.
There are fifty three republicans and
forty-seven democrats and if Bowlus
and Meeker could get another repre-
sentative to join them against the gov
errors candidate they could cause a
deadlock
