Mr.. u. U. Lewis has returned from

the Interested the Federal Coal Com
pany and when asked about the re7or-
ganization 81 the company gave out
the following statement today:
yes, we are making the Federal a
purely West Virginia association, di-
yiding up the stock among eligible 10:
cal coal interests. The property is
well known to be among the in
the Fairmont region for gas, fuel and
coke clean, nlne-foot seam, cheaply
produced and only needs tonnage to
make good dividends.
with equitable railroad service the
Federal can be the survival Of the
Gttest. We don't claim to have all the
merits Of the best connellsyille coal
for coke, butowe compare iayorably
with the product Of the Klondyke
where most Of the connellsyllle coke
rs shipped from. It will be the aim OF
our association TO forge ahead CON
servatiyely and hope ultimately to get
the tonnage up in keeping with the
large acreage. The company is no
longer in the hands of one man con.
troll and the affairs Of the company
will be administered entirely by local
interests and we hope to merit the
best wishes Of our home people.

on Obscene
Postal Cards
OHIO MEN ARRESTED AS THE BE-
GINNING OF a CRUSADE
AGAINST. THE "coMIcp
CARDS.

y HhA3GA124 la Va sept. II. = UuCl6
Sam hns started a crusade against
the fellows who persist in sending IL
lustrated postal cards of an obscene
nature through the mails, and two men
employed in Athens county are the
first TO come under the ban Of the
law. They were arrested Thursday by
Deputy United States Marshal Mccall
lister, brought to Marietta and arraign-
ed before United States Commissioner
Leeper. The men arrested are Roy
Jones, Of Licking county, an attend
ant at the Athens State hospital, and
Thomas Huffman, of Hooking county,
who has been employed at Nelsonville.
Some weeks ago, it is charged, the
men mailed Comic postal cards
through the Athens Office. Postmaster
Finsterwald saw the cards, concluded
they were of an obscene nature, and
reported the matter to the department.
The information was turned over to
the Cincinnati Office and Inspector Old
field was detailed on the case In a
short time he had worked up sufficient
evidence to warrant the arrest of the
two men and the affldavits were ac-
cordingly filed.
Thursday morning, Deputy Marshal
McAllicter went to Athens county and
arrested Jones and Huffman, He
brought them to Marietta, on the after
noon train, and they were Immediately
taken before Commissioner Leeper,
where they were charged with vlolat-
Ing the U. S. Postal laws. They waived
examination and were held to. court,
in the sum of $500 each. Jones gave
bail with Superintendent ]. F. Hanson
and Assistant Superintendent C. E. At.
kinson of the Athens State hospital, as
sureties. Huffman. appeared to be
frlendless and was remanded TO the
Washington county jail to await the
sitting of the federal grand jury, at
Columbus, the second Tuesday in De
cember. Jones, in company with DR.
Hanson and DIR. Atkinson, returned tc
Athens Thursday evening.
Deputy Marshal McCallister, in CON
versation with newspaper CORE,
spondent shortly after the men were
araigned, stated that this is but the
beginning Of war on the suggestive
postal cards. Many of these cards are
absolutely obscene and the govern.
ment proposes to stop the sending OF
such stun through the mails. To that
end, evidence is being gathered, ana
several other arrests will likely follow
within the next few weeks. He states
that the government is taking the
names of all dealers who traffic in such
cards, and they will be compelled Ito
quit handling them under penalty Of
the law.
Jones and Huffman, the victims OF
the law. stated while here that the
cards mailed by them were nothing
more than are being sold over thous-
ands Of novelty counters. According
to this information the so.called comic
postal card crank will do well to quit
the habit.
