ouIres that all prisoners in the peni-
Tertiary sentenced to serve i've years
or less shall be required to work on

In the House the chief act was that
of the committee on finance. which

Not Disturbed
OVER CHARGE. OF SENATOR Gull
BERsoN CONCERNING IN
JUNCTION GRANTED.

PARKERSBURG, w. Va. Jan. 22.--
When Federal Judge Aston G. Dayton
was informed last night that charges
OF incompetency had been preferred
against him in the United State Sen
ate by Senator Culberson. he said:
81 don't know anything about the
charges and don't care anything about
them. II am Incompetent to hold
the position occupy certainly would
have found it out myself before this. |
have no objection to any one on earth
making criticism Of my acts while on
the bench. My record stands for 1t
self.
81 have been in public life ten years
and know that public officers arc
compelled to bear many criticisms. l
don't know what Brother Culberson
has against me, and don't know a
thing about the kind and charter of
the charges that have been preferred.
have no concern one way or the 9th
err regarding the charges. 1t keeps me
too busy looking after the duties of
my position to pay any attention to
those who are dissatisfied with my
conduct in office. allow such critl-
cisms to go in one ear and out the
other"
Judge Dayton did not Seem in the
least worried or nettled over the
charge made against him by Senator
Culberson. At the conclusion of the
interview Judge Dayton gaily hailed
one of his friends and went away
laughing and chatting merrily as
though there had been nothing dis
quieting in the news he had received.

Hutson Case
WILL PROBABLY BE CONTINUED
TO THE MAY TERM OF
COURT.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. %
The indications are that the trial of
former Assistant Adjutant General
Colonel Hutson on the charge of mis-
appropriating State funds. which was
to have been called in the intermedi-
ate Court to-day will go over until
the May term. Owing to the case
now being tried It will be impossible
to reach the Hutson charge to-day. In
addition, Congressman Gaines, who
is now attending to his duties in
Washington and who is counsel for
Colonel Hutson, has sent notice that
it would be impossible for him to
leave his duties in the national capital
at this time and asked for continuance.
AS the case was continued before
because Of the illness Of the child OF
Attorney c. w. Dillon, who repre-
sents the State, It is thought to be
no more than right that the same
courtesy should be extended to the
defense. Although Judge Black pre-
scented no formal order in the mat
ter and cannot do so until the case
comes up before him, 1t is thought, I'M
der the circumstances he will extend
the time of the trial until the May
term,

he does not wait long to do it. either.
The practical man who is up to mod
ern methods spends more work and
more money in pushing his business
when times are slack than when
business is booming. 1t is COM
nonsense method of getting what he
wants. The colder the weather
grows, the more coal we have to pile
into the furnace.
This is the simple, plain, practical
way successful business houses meet
"slow" trade. Successful communi-
ties follow the same plan. When
the need of new Industrial plants is
felt, they get out and hustle for
them. and the fewer there are to be
had. the harder they hustle. and the
more they spend.

He said personalities should not be
allowed to figure in politics. He said
1t was wrong for Democrats to refuse
to support men just because they did
not want them. He said in 1904 he

uniform, and the fruit buds are be-

The trees arc in splendid condi-

are not married by later frosts the
