LICENSE
IS NOT A. LICENSE
Council Ascertains This Fact When
Called Together to Revoke
the Same.

An oversight on the part of Mayor
Grille caused him to call a special
session OF the city council for Tues
day night, and, upon the convening
of that body after reading the call,
which stated that the purpose of the
session was to take action revoking
the saloon license of l.. Riley in the
Fuel City hotel building, the chief
executive of the city announced that
he had ascertained from the clerk
after issuing the call that no saloon
license had been granted to Mr..
Riley, and, therefore. there was no
license as to him to revoke.
Mayor Grille also stated to the
council that the license at that place
had been taken out by Frank Rush
and so far as the city records showed
was still in his name.
The mayor also stated that upon
discovering his mistake, he immed-
lately instituted proceedings against
Mr.. Rush to appear at a special ses-
sion of council Tuesday night, Sept.
2. at 1880 o'6ock, to show cause
why his license should not be revok-
ed.
1t being the opinion of the mayor
that there was no license to revoke
at the session, the council adjourn
ed.
The members attending the ses-
sion were Councilmen Connel, Lyden,
Anderson, Robbins Ernst, Johnson,
Wood and Lynch.

WOMAN'S DEAF
LIKELY ACCIDENTAL
starIeey Woman Had Pistol in Bosom
and Some Way 1t Was
Discharged.

4
Investigation of the death OF Miss
Belle Starkey, who shot herself
through the heart with pistol at
her home at Mt. Glare Tuesday fore
noon. has revealed indications that
the shooting, while self-inficted,
may have been accidental.
Acting Coroner NJ. S. Riley found
that Miss Starkey had been in the
habit of carrying articles in the
bosom of her dress and when he
viewed the body he found a number
of articles lying by the body on the
couch and in the dress bosom. There
was package of cigarette tobacco,
four packages of cigarette papers, a
dollar bill and some coins and a new
gauze undershirt, neatly folded. It
was learned that Miss Starkey had
heen in the habit of carrying these
and other small articles in the bosom
of her dress. This prompted the be-
lief that she may have carried the
pistol which caused her death, in
her bosom also and that in removing
some of the articles the revolver was
accidentally discharged.
The pistol was small, short bar
relied weapon and one that could
have been easily carried in the
bosom of the dress. The bullet that
caused the young woman's death
penetrated the sdoIlar bill and it and
the clothing near the wound was
burned by the powder discharged in
such manner as to show that the
pistol had been fred close to the
body.
Acting Coroner Riley decided that
the woman came to her death by a
pistol wound self inflicted with indi-
cations that 1t may have been acci-
dentally discharged and that no in
quest would be necessary. He turn
ed the body over to the charge of
the undertakers.
The investigation also brought
out the fact that Miss starkey had
quarreled with a neighbor woman
last Sunday. but the two had not
been together since and the neighbor
woman was not in the neighborhood
when Miss starkey's death occurred.
AS an alibi was satisfactorily shown
that phase of the case was not taken
up any further.
The funeral of the dead woman
viii take place at her late home
Thursday morning at 10 o'clock and
the burial will be in the Hansford
cemetery at Mt Clare.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. Is

day said that he had been authorized
to announce that President Rcose-
welt and President Diaz, of Mexico,
are now in entire accord concerning
the future of Central America and
the settlement of disputes among
fire republics.

Mexico have formulated joint note
TO the Central America republics In

with the view of agreeing upon a
treaty insuring permanent peace.
Whether the note has been dis
patched to the Republics or not is
not. known. but the impression is
that all of the republics have ex-
pressed their readiness to enter such
a conference.

TRANSFORMED
Into Scene of Beauty is the Inter.
iOr OF the Grand Opera
House.

The several years Manager Reuben
Robinson has hahd the Grand opera
house he has improved it each year
in its appearance and has put forth
efforts to have the best going in the
theatrical line. 1t has ever been the
aim to give Clarksburg the best and
to please all theatregoers.
Pronouncedly advanced steps have
been taken this year for the coming
season. the whole interior Of the op-
era house having been handsomely
improved, indeed, transformed into
thing of beauty, by being repainted
and redecorated and the lobby has
undergone similar transformation.
The scenery the coming season will
all be new and modern. The i'm
provements were made by the Meyer
Decorating Company, of Steuben-
vile, o., one of the best firms of the
kind in the country.
The color scheme of the interior
is rich cream with a red back
ground and touched up in gold, with
GHC ~ FNn4ASCOlluS III lu1lIdL1Ou OIL mar
BILE, and has beautiful effect. The
columns are also marble imitation
and at prominent points in the house
are artistic and historic picture deco
rations, one of the latter alone cost
ing $4,000. The boxes have ele-
CANT new and beautiful draperies.
The lobby has a green background
artistically brought ont. with fancy
decorations and the wainscoting is
in white marble Beautiful is the
scene that the eye beholds as one
enters the lobby doors and charm
ing is 1t as one enters the auditor
ium. Similar beauty and symmetry
are seen in the appearance from the
balcony.
The transformation done at great
expense is one that will certainly
please every one of the numerous
patrons of the house the coming sea
son and Manager Robinson deserves
hearty congratulations for the ele-
gance of these improvements.

OFFICERS TO
BE IIVDIC TED
Effort Is To BE Made To Indict Of
ficers and Directors of Eureka
Loan 4 Building Assn.
MANY WITNESSES SUMMONED
To Appear Before the Grand Jury
Next Week To Tell What They
Know About Association. \

An effort is on foot to indict the
officers and directors OF the defunct
Eureka Loan & Building Association.
It is stated that at least twenty-five
persons have been summoned to ap-
pear before the grand jury here nexr
week to tell what they know of the.
businss of the association. The list
Of officials includes the president sec
+retary and the treasurer of the as
sociation. 1t is stated that still
other witnesses may also be sum-
moned.
The association was declared de-
funct several weeks after the secre-
tary, ]. R. Adams, mysteriously dis
appeared thre years ago. The recent
order of the circuit court discloses
the fact that bond and stockholders
will be heavy losers, and the claim
is made that the money was diverted
from its legitimate channel.
Judge Lynch will be asked by
some of the poor people who lost
their savings to give the grand jury
special instructions as to the asso-
citation.
Should indictments be found
profound sensation will be caused as
some of the men connected with the
association stand high in church, So
cial and business circles.

any fight between operators and en-

that Mr.. Littlepage is unfamiliar
with the situation in this region, or
else the Telegram itself has been un-
able to obtain true insight into 1T.
Apparently there is no such state of

such dissatisfied condition, his prem

are in error and untrue.
There is great State develop
ment and this is certainly based on
cooperative relations between oper-
ators and employees. to a degree at
least, that causes marvellous indus
trial activity, in fact. it appears TO
be those relations that are really de-
veloping the State.
And. If there are differences be-
tween laborers and operators, these
certainly can be adjusted among
themselves, without Littlepage
availing himself of them to promote
self interest. Indeed. there should
he arbitration. if such differences
exist. but it ought to be done, with
out being in the political interest OF
any one.
So far as Littlepage is concerned
the Telegram may also state with.
out fear of successful contradiction
that. in times papst he has received
large money consideration for being
enlisted IN what he is now attempt,
ing to turn to his own advantage
He receives several thousand dollars
year for that, and it being an Ill.

easy to see how some can feast or
