HAS GEORGE GOT

England Would Disrupt
Friendly Relations
With u. S.

London, July 20.-During the reign
of King George III. the American col
onies achieved their independence af.
ter administering thorough whipping
to John Bull.
When George w. became regent.
America again took to arms and
proved the supremacy OF the new ma
ton on land and sea.
A century later, while Americans
are planning a centennial celebration
or the anniversary OF the peace pact
between the two great Anglo-Saxon
nations, another King George has en-.
tered upon a program which threatens
to strain the friendly relations now
existing between America and the
motherland.
King George has shown on several
occasions that he dislikes Americans.
and Queen Mary is openly and almost
rabidly antagonistic TO the United
States and all that savors OF Amerl.
canism.
When Theodore Roosevelt. as spe.
ciai envoy to King Edwards funeral
was given place in the procession
subordinate to the petty Ahkoond of
swat and the Duke Of Dingbat. the
feeling of King George was plainly I'm
evidence.

JONES DROPPED
FROM POLICE

A. Nj. Jones received notice this
morning that he will be dropped from
the police force after August 1. AZ the
same time III. j.. Deweese was also
notified that his services on the city
constamulary would not be needed af-
~, 'oua'' ~ &
The many friends of MIR. Jones, and
several members of the force are more
or less indignant over the action.
While 1t has been urged that Mr.. Jones
is no longer young man, he himself
says that he has several years of eff
hcient police duty before him, and no
complaint has ever been filed against
him as far as the discharge of his
duty has been concerned. Jones has
been connected with the police depart.
ment of Bluefield for the last sixteen
years. Within this time he acted as
chief for one year, night chief for one
year and desk sergeant for one year.
His friends state that at no time dur
ing this long service has any com
plaint been lodged against him, and
they think that it is an injustice to
drop him from the force when he
needs the salary and is still able TO
give the city good service.

The Rock Island railroad is now re
ceiving from some of the big locomo-
tive factories in the east, large
numebr of new passenger engines
will be added, and the parts are now
being connected up at the shops at
Silvis. A dozen of these engines will
be used on the central district.
The locomotives are of the Pacific
type, or the same as lose OF the 500
class. They will be numbered in the
900 class. They are powerful new en-
gines, and built for heavy passenger
traffic.
Placing six of these new engines in
service on the Illinois and Iowa divi,
sion will enable the officials to use
some of the other heavy engines now
in service on some of the trains
which are at present being run with
lighter engines, but which need
heavier machines to enable them to
make better time.
The other new locomotives will be
placed in use on various parts of the
system as soon as they are complete
Ily connected up at Silvis.
