ITS CoNsTITUTI0NALITY DOUBTED.
Schoeneck Says Apportion-
ment Must Be Made at Regular Session.

Syracuse July THE POST standard to-mor-
row will publish an interview with Assemblyman
Edward Schoeneck, of the Assembly Apportionment
Committee, IN which he maintains that appoT-
tonment at a special session OF the Legislature
will be unconstitutional. He points out that the
decision of the Court of Appeals, which sustained
the apportonment of 1892 at a special session, Is
not a precedent in this case, because of the fact
that the constitutional convention of 1894 inserted
in Section of Article OF the constitution OF the
state the word regular" The decision Of the
Court of Appeals then before it. and 1t ap-
peared from the record of the debates of that con
vention, which before the Assembly Appor-
tioament Committee that the opinion Of the court
was discussed, and by reason of the suggestion of
Judge Peckham who wrote the opinion, that In
order TO hold the apportionment of 1892 1t would
be necessary read into the statute the word
regular" The word regular at that time
inserted in the constitution, and Mr.. Schoeneck
contends that consequently an apportiorsnent can
be made only regular session.

.ELKINS MAY LOSE HOME.
Odd Fellows Cannot Secure the
Ground They Want.
SITE GIVEN IS INSUFFICIENT.
Unable to Get Additional Ground
Committee viii Ask For a New
Location.

odd Fellows have been much inter.
ested In the home TO be established
by their State Grand Lodge for aged
and INDECENT members and orphans
Of deceased members, and for several
years there has been a strong desire
among the members to have the home
constructed. A location was chosen
at Elkns, and committee Of the
Grand Lodge was authorized at the
last session TO 90 on and place the
buildings under construction. Some
sixty thousand dollars are already
available in the grand lodge treasury
for the construction of the buildings,
and the annual assessment would pro-
vide much more. The committee had
been engaged almost since the session
Of the Grand Lodge in an effort to Sc
cure a proper site on the farm to be
donated by the citizens of Elkins and
the lodge of that place, but owing to
the failure of the adjacent property
owners and the committee to deal for
small piece of ground, the work OF
construction has been so far DELAYED
that the committee has about decided
to refer the matter back to the Grand
Lodge and recommend new location.
The committee wants a few additional
acres to make the site an ideal one.
and offered the neighboring land own
ers all they have asked for the prop
erty, they have dickered over the mat
ter for so lohg and put SO many oh
stacles in the way of the enterprise
that those having 1t in charge have
about lost all patience and are unani-
nous in the opinion that 1t will be
impossible to acquire sufficient land at
Elkins; and as the Grand Lodge has
not been committed to the location ex-
cept upon the granting of sufficient
land at Elkins as a site for the home.
the whole matter of relocating the
home will therefore likely be before
the next Grand Lodge and a fine OPP
portunity given some enterprising
community to secure an institution
which will cost something like hun.
dred thousand dollars to erect and
several thousand dollars annually to
maintain.

Charles Young. IA years old, son of

noon by Baltimore & Ohio train n.
and instantly killed. The boy was
walking on the track about 2 miles
west of Hancock about o'clck when
the express came laundering along.
Evidently he did not notice its ap-
proach for he made no effort to get
out of the way, and before the en-
ginueer could put on the air and stop
the train he had been struck. The
body was terribly mangled and he
must have been killed instantly The
train was stopped and the remains
picked up and later removed to the
home of his parents.

Killed His snakeship.

When Mrs. Hunter Small Went out
to the road the other morning to get
the mail from the mail box, she saw
a big black snake stretched across the
path. When she returned the reptile
was still in the path. Having that
mate aversion to serpents she went
into the woods and secured a club,
and returning to the path proceeded
to kill the snake. She took it to the
house and left it in the yard to show
the men folks when they came to din
ner When they returned they meas.
ured the snake and found it was 6
feet and inches long. After dinner
Mrs. Small went into the yard and
was surprised to find close beside the
dead snake the mate The mate evil
IDENTIFY feared the same fate and made
off for the barn. The aversion to
snakes was still present in the
woman's nature and she made after
the reptile. Picking up hoe that was
handy she made for the creeping thing
and with the first blow broke its back
Then the snake showed fight, but the
woman's nature and she made after
attack until she had dispatched the
second snake. This one measured
feet and 6 inches.
