During all the pleasures and vari-
Gus forms of amusement provided by
the cities to attract the people
within their domain during the past
few weeks, the number If accidents
and disasters, with their terrible re-
suits has been appalling. Every pa
e contains accounts of terrible
wrecks on railway or street car and
traction collisions. The falling of a
grand stand in Kansas City cast a
gloom over the festival week by the
number of lives lost. The street
car collision in Omaha had its dis
asterous effect. One goes on a
pleasure trip and their family be
hold a corpse returned to them.
These things seem due in most cases
to companies over working an insult
flcient supply of help. How often
when investigation is started it is
found a conductor, an engineer or
moterman has been worked beyond
all reasonable hours, and yet he is

About the weakest argument that
can be advanced against county OPP
ton is hat there would be boot
Logging and the county would have
to bear the expense of prosecuting
the boot leggers. 1t is unlawful to
murder and steal horses so the coun-
ty must bear the expense of prescott
ing them. The law is 10 provide
against an evil and the courts for
the prosecution of offenders. Yet,
ninety per cent of the murders, bur-
s%laries, horse stealing and other
crimes are directly tracable to Ii
quor, There may be boot logging. the
next thing is to get officers With
the courage and determination To
punish the offenders. That this
county has been called upon to prose
cute the illegal selling of liquor and
that the cases are kept hanging in
the court makes two things evident.
That the whole county must stand
for the principal and that men must
be chosen who will punish and punish
quickly, the offender.

WORKINGMEN
NPHLADElPER DECIDE TO co OUT ON
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. s7.-
Action fraught with possible momen-
tous consequences to Philadelphia was
taken by the Central labor union to-
night when that BODY, representing
one hundred and forty unions with a
claimed membership of ls5, 900 voted
to begin sympathetic strike next
Saturday IN aid of the striking street
railway employees.
This action came at the end of a
secret session of about seven hundred
delegates in Labor Lyceum hall.
There was apparently no question
that the delegates would vote to
strike, the split being on the issue of
whether it would be started immed-
lately. The more conservative ele-
ment prevailed, however, and the
walkout was put off until next Satur-
day. Meanwhile there is hope that
the street railway strike will be ar
bitrated despite the declarations of
the transit company controlling all
the lines in the city, that there is
nothing to arbitrate.'
Nobody doubts that tonight's S
action of the Central Labor Union
makes the situation very grave.
There is no doubt, however, of the
strength of the feeling that unionism
is at stake and the consequent feel
ing that fight to preserve the union
is Necessary.
Thisis the sentiment without doubt
that prevailed at today's meeting.
Seventy-fve arrests were made.
Crowds of men and boys who usually
fill hestreets on Sunday in many Sec
tions of the city were responsible for
the most of the attacks. The orders
of the director of public safety that
wagons and buses must not be used
to convey passengers also resulted
in many disturbances.

SALOONS
WILL OPEN SOON-WONT WAIT FOR
ACTION OF COUNTY COURT.

Charleston, W. Va, Feb. a5.-A
rumor prevalent on the street today
is to the effect that regardless of what
ever action the Kanawha county court
will take on the saloon license next
Monday at the regular meeting of the
court, several of saloons will open
Immediately and await any action that
be brought against them by the officers
of the law.
The determination of the saloon
lists to open the first empOriums is
said to be based upon the decision of
the West Virginia supreme court of
appeals in the Harden case, where
the court decided that under the
peculiar charter in effect at Point
Pleasant, the council of Point Pleas
ant had the sole right to grant
saloon licenses in that municipality.
Whether the same conditions would
apply in Charleston would have to be
determined in a court of law. The
charter of the city of Charleston
adopted at the session of the legisla-
ture of 1909, specifically gives the
county court of Kanawha county the
authority to grant state licenses.

WILLIAM BOGARD
DIES At HOME OF HIS FATHER ON
KANARHA STREET.

William Bosard. son of John. and
Martha Bosard, died last Thursday,
at the home of his father, on Kama
wha street, Extension, of TubercuIO-
sis. He wa, 90 years old at the
time of his death. About two years
ago, he was married to Miss Laura
Jones of South Milwaukee, at which
place they made their home. To
this union was born one child now
about . months old. He leaves be-
side the bereaved wife and baby a
sorrowins father aud one brother.
The deceased was sober. indus
triOus, upright yoans man. drtiful
son, loving brother, kind aaee-
t;onate husband and father, and will
be sorely missed among a large circle
of relatives and friends. His brother
living in Milwaukee did not arrive
here in time for the funeral, owing to
a wreck, at Zanesvillc, Ohio. in
which he was badly injured. he ar
rived here Monday. While in the
hospital at Zanesville, in an effort to
send telegram to his father, here at
Point Pleasant, and one to his wife
at Milwaukee, he gave party two
dollars to pay for them. He received
back thirty-cents, and the informa-
ton that the kilograms had been
sent; when in fact they had not been
sent. AMr. Harry Mabez, a passen-
ger on the train with him going to
Baltimore, upon his arrival at Wheel
ing, as a matter of courtesy, sent a
telegram to the father at this place
stating that Thomas Bogard had been
injured in a train wreck but not
seriously and was in hospital. This
telegram, however, did not state
where or at what hospital he was
taken. The father was unable to
ascertain where his son Thomas was,
although he made every effort, from
the time of Williams death until
Monday morning, when he arrived
here on the le:4oB. & o. train, one
day after the burial.
Mr.. Thomas Bosard belongs to the
police force of the city of Milwaukee,
Wis, and was known to leave that
city with something like $3.50 with
which to deftay expenses. Recently
he had made an important arrest of
party that had been wanted for
long time, and it WAS suspected that
he had been dealt With by some of
the pals of the person arrested.
The funeral was held Sunday after
noon, at ao'clock under the auspices
of the K. of p. Lodge at the Baptist
Church, and was largely attended.
Interment followed at Lone Oak
Cemetery. The bereayed ones have
the sympathy of all in this their
hour of sorrow.

TWIN CITIES
POINT TPLEASANT-GALLIPOLIS TEAM IN
Wv. LEAGUE.

high here since the meeting held las,
Wednesday night at which stock
company was organized to promote
that popular sport, the coming
season.
W. l. Campbell, representing John
Spinney, large sporting goods man
of Cincinnati and Manager Jack
Benny of the Charleston team were
here last Wednesday and called a
meeting of the fans for that night at
the office of H. H. Henry. The
meeting was largely attended by
former ball players and citizens.
Several shares of stock were sold
and the stockholders elected the
following officers, to serve temporar-
lily:
Clyde Ingles, President, c. W.
Alexander, First vice-president,
W. W. Baxter, Second vice-Presi-
dent, John Hutchinson, Sec'y and
Treasurer, H. H. Henry, Business
Manager.
The team will be called 'The
Twin Cities B. B. Club, and
the stock will be offered for sale in
both the places named.
Five other towns are represented
in the league, which is called The
Virginia Valley League viz:
Charleston, Huntington, Montgom-
cry, Parkersburg, and Cattletsburg-
Ashland. A salary limit of 5000. per
month has been decided on, thereby
restricting the larger towns from
getting the cream of the players,
which they could easily do were they
permitted to pay more.
1t has not been definitely decided
yet, just where the grounds will be
located. Mgr. Henry in looking over
the situation here does not seem to
find just what he wants in that re-
spect. The sites looked at by Kim
being too small in his opinion to ae-
commodate grand stand, bleachers
and leave enough room for playing
purposes. There is some talk of
making the park on the other side of
the river where there is plenty of
level ground. 1t is thought that BY
placing it on the Ohio side it would
be stimules to encourage the sale
of stock over there.
The following named from here
were in attendance at the meeting of
The Virginia Valley League, in
Huntington, Monday night: W. W.
Baxter, Chas. Alexander, Alex Kelso,
John Hutchinson, John Smith and
H. H. Henry. They report a very
enthusiastic meeting, presided over
by Pres. John Spinney. 1t was de-
cided to start the season on May 5th
and play a 100 game schedule. Iron.
ton was dropped and Parkersburg
again reinstated. The managem mt
will let the contract for the building
of the park and grand stand just as
soon as it is defnately decided where
the grounds will be. The citizens
here will be asked to subscribe liber-
ally for the stock, and will no doubt
do so as the prospects for good ball
were never better than now. There
is bill before the Ohio Legislature,
permitting Sunday Ball, and will
probably be passed within the next
two weeks. If this bill is passed the
park will in all probability be placed
over at Kanauga.
