The house concurred in the SEN
ate's acceptance Of the confer
ence report on the two cent rail
road rate BILL which insures a
two-cent rate law for West Vir-
ginia. The two-cent rate bill has
been a bill Of great contention and
excitement during this legislative
session. The law as agreed up
on is practically the senate bill,
or its substitute for the Hole bill,
which made a flat rate Of two
cents mile on all rail roads.
The substitute exempts lines iof
less than fifty miles, whose own
ership is not vested in trunk
lines. Of the two bills, the SEN
ate bill was finally acknowledged
by the press, public and a major
ity Of the legislators, to be the
best bill for West Virginia rail-
road conditions. 1t was urged
by Delegate Hole and staunch
supporters Of his bill, that the
senate measure ny exempting
short independent lines was I'M
constitutional and would be so
declared by the supreme court of
appeals Of the state. Opinions
on that question however, varied
widely but in the end there was
a very general acceptance
that the senate substitute would
stand in the higher court. And
so it was accepted by the house
and will be the law.

The anti-cigarette bill, which
passed the house was killed in
the senate Friday night. And
hereby hangs a tale. A short
one cut, not stubby but sharp in
fact Senator Johnson intro
duced in the senate a duplicate
bill to the house bill, which was
introduced by Parsons Of Mar
shall. The senate bill slept in
Mr.. Johnson's committee with
out it's patron calling it up; and
when the house bill reached the
senate, Johnson voted again st
it. Stranger than this, other
members Of the Senate, who ex-
pressed themselves as opposed to
the cigarette and in favor of the
bill, voted to kill it.
Mr. Parsons, Of the house,
states that the trusts agent and
lobbyist, who lives here and edits
a paper, is not personally attract
i've that a more attractive way
must have been used to kill the
bill.
But the fights just on, de.
clares Mr.. Parsons, and | intenC
to send their records into every
home in the state. IF they thinl
the fight is over now, they are
badly fooled. Neither the tobac

Mr.. Davis was one of the oldest set
tiers of Ordway, having come here
about fourteen years ago. Was knswn

respected; was kind, loving father
and husband.
Two years ago he became a member

On Dec. 22nd he received the last

FIGHT MATLOCK
HIS ATTORNEY FILES A
DEMURRER AND MOTION
Demurrer Alleges Insufficient Cause
Stated-Motion Asks That the
Plaintiff Be Required to State Def
initely When Swaggart Transferred
the Check to Matlock-Request for
Further Definiteness.

That j. Sheuerman intends fighting
the suit that has been brought against
him by w. F. Matlock is indicated by
papers filed in the circuit court this
morning. In behalf of the defendant
in the now famous s4OO suit D. w.
Bailey, attorney for Sheuerman, en-
tered the arena today.
The first step taken for the defense
was to file a demurrer to the COM
plant on the ground that II is not suf-
ficient to furnish a cause of action.
Together with the demurrer the de-
PENDANTS lawyer also filed a motion.
the nature of which may be seen
from the following extract:
Comes now the defendant and
moves that the court require the
plaintiff herein to make his complaint
filed herein more definite and certain
in this. to-wit: that plaintiff be re-
quired to state definitely and certain
in paragraph (2) of said complaint,
on what date the said plaintiff paid
to the said L. Swaggart a valuable
consideration for the check mentioned
therein.
That the said plaintiff be required
TO state definitely and certain what
date the said L. Swaggart sold, trans
ferred and delivered said check to the
plaintiff"
Aside from the above the motions
ask that numerous other things in
the complaint be made more definite
and explicit,

SPOKANE FEARS SMALLPOX.
City Orders All Incoming Passengers
to Secure Health Certificates.

Spokane, Jan. 5.-An order was is
sued by Superintendent Beamer of
the Northern Pacific yesterday to the
effect that without certificate of
vaccination or a clean bill of health
from a recognized medical authority,
no passenger will be permitted by
the Northern Pacific railroad to get
off at Spokane. other roads have
been asked by the health board to
take similar precautions.
The order cites that on account of
the reported prevalence of smallpox
in British Columbia, Montana and
Idaho centers and in lumber camps,
Spokane is quarantined against those
places, and directs that all passengers
from infected districts be notified
that they will not be permitted to
leave the trains at Spokane without
showing proper medical credentials.
The order is issued to all conductors
of the company.

pITTsBURG-LAKE ERIE CANAL.
To Admit Largest Lake Craft to Ohio
River Waters.

Pittsburg, Jan. SIT is now esti-
mated that as much as 100000, 900
will be required for the construction
of the Pittsburg and Erie canal. The
plan includes the deepening of the
Ohio river to the mouth OF the Beav-
er, the deepening of the Beaver river
to the Mahoning river and finally a
canal across the divide in jefferson
county Ohio, and a series of dams
and locks down to the level of Lake
Erie.
1t Is planned to make the canal
deep enough TO admit to the harbor
here, at the junction of the Monon-
gahela and Allegheny rivers, and the
Ohio, any craft that sails the Great
Lakes, for the purpose of discharging
here shipments of iron ore and other
commodities from the lake country.
The ships will receive coal, iron and
steel here, for delivery at lake ports.
or even for foreign shipments by way
of the Welland canal.
on.etime, 1t Is expected, navigation
will proceed from the canal, down the
Ohio river to the Mississippi and the
Gulf of Mexico. Offers for a large
amount of the stock and bond issues
have been made but as the promoters
thought control was sought for prom
inent railroad corporations, they re-
fused as it is for the public interest
that the canal should be free from
railroad domination against which it

rendered his resignation as assistant
United States attorney general and
will devote his time exclusively to
cleaning up the corruption of the

ton as special assistant to the attor-
ney general of the United States in the
Binger Hermann land fraud cases in
order that he may remain in this city
and finish his task of prosecuting the
municipal grafters.
Within the past few days Mayor
Schmitz ana Abe Ruef have an
nounced to the associated grafters that
Heney would leave the city February
| for the ostensible purpose of act
ing as special prosecutor in the Binger
Hermann case, which comes up for
hearing in the criminal department of
the supreme court of the District of
Columbia February 4.
Word was also passed that with the
departure of Heney the graft investi-
CATION and prosecution would collapse.
When Heney heard what the grafters
were saying he flushed with anger.
He said:
Il intend staying in San Francisco
until | see every one of the grafters
wearing stripes. have sent my resig-
nation as special prosecutor in the
Binger Hermann case to Attorney
General Bonaparte.
Il have given up all government
business in order to devote my whole
