PUTS BAN ON DRUNKEN Ex-
cuRsloNlsTs.

CHARLESTON, Feb. 15- One OF
the most important laws that has been
enacted in the present Legislature and
one that will meet with the full ap.
proval ot the travelling public is Del.
agate S'idelberg's bill prohibiting the
drinking of Intoxicating liquors by any
person, employe, or passenger. aboard
any train, with the exception of the
liquors or intoxicating drinks that are
sold in the cars licensed to sell the
same.
The bill does not prohibit the drink.
ing of Intoxicating beverages aitogeth.
er on train as has been represent.
ed, but confines the sale Of 1t to the
diner, buffet or car with buffet at.
tschment which are licensed to sell
the same. In infiicts no hardship up.
on ANYBODY except that class Of peo.
pie who are wont to go on an excur.
sion, fill up with red liquor, and then
disturb the other passengers of both
sexes. 1t win also AFFECT ths individ.
ual who carries with him several
quarts of his ,favorite brand and after
disposing of the same inflicts insults
on the especial passengers aboard.
The bill as passed both houses Of
the legislature will also have the same
effect on the employees OF the failroad
as it does on the bolsterous passen-
gers thus better portscting the lives
OF the travelling public. The original
bill called-forsa a mxaimum ane OF 5000

top ofSthe court but this was later
amendsd by making the maximum

Mr.. George A. Laughlin sent the fol
lowing telegram to his paper, the
Wheeling Intelligencer, last night:
CHARLESTON, Feb. 15.-As they
say in the legislature, explanations Of
a personal character may possibly be
in order. The writer yesterday pull

him in u personal way for the posi-
ton he had taken on the Hole two.
cent railway rate bill, recently pass.
ed by the House. These attacks were
published In an anomyous way as cor,
respondence to the Charleston News
and were written by Mr.. Booton,
a reporter for that paper.
Today the Charleston reporter re.
sented the nose pulling, and while the
undersigned was writing at the repor.
teRs table in the Senate chamber, di.
rectly after adjournment Of the Sen.
ate at7noon. he was unexpectedly at.
tackled by Mr.. Booton. The writer,
of course, defended himself against
the assault, apologizing later to the
president of the Senate, in a letter
which read as follows:

Senate Of West Virginia.

orable body for the part i took in the
affair, and l desire to extend it.

greatly disappointed over the action Of
the Honse Of Delegates in killing the
Cooper general primary bill. The 1904
platform contained this specific ex-
preston in favor of general primary
law for the State Of West Virginia:
sTenti,-We are heartily In favor Of
the passage Of laws establishing a
proper system Of primary elections to
be held by each political party, for
the rosnination Of all candidates for

soon after the opening OF the session
and carries with It the Endorsement of
the department OF free schools. j. Rus
sen Trotter. formerly superintendent
of sch.,ois, Is working hard for its
passage. The House adopted one
amendment which IL the Senate con-
ours therein, will make education
much easier to obtain in. this State
for the poorer class. The amendment
ss to the effect that the districts shall
be required to furnish free school
books TO all pupils. The bill was still
being discussed when the noon recess
was taken. Senator Bailey in the Sem
ate this morning introduced an amend-
ment TO The State license tax bill, taa-
iLe oil. Senator Gsrtlin introduced
an amendment to tax the coal of the
State. Both amendments caused. more
than ordinary expression and the gem
e-al feeling of the members Of the
body seemed to be opposed to taking
either sil or gas. 1t is probable that
both isncisdments will be defeated. In
