Murder Of One is Attempted
by Three Others at Mt.
Clare.

MT. CaiARE, April 14-aluch ex-
citement prevailed in the vicinity of
the Doemstic mine at 7:3O o'clock
Thursday evening as the result OF
the attempted murder of James
Mott, an Italian, by three Of his
countrymen, Louie Romono, Tony
Romono, his son, and Rocco Ro-
mono, nephew.
AT first it was belieyed to be the
outcome Of a Black Hand plot, but
1t later developed to the result of
an old grudge. The victims most
serious wound was from a revolver
shot which lodged in the base OF the
neck, penetrating downward, and he
also received the contents of shot
gun which sprinkled his face and
the upper portion of his body. His
wounds are not considered serious,
but he was taken to the Kessler hos
p!tal at clarksburg Thursday where
he will! be given proper attention.
At late hour Sheriff Francis and
Deputies Byrd and Mcmillan arrested
Tony and Rocco Romono in the
West End suburbs of Clarksburg as
they were fleeing from the scene of
the shooting and placed them in the
county Jail. Louie Romono is still at
large. 1t is believed he proceeded
to Dola, where he has half interest
in a store.
Rocco Romcno will be tried also
on the charge of carrying weapons
unlawfully, razor being found on
him at the time of his arrest.
Jealousy of Motifs behavior to-
ward Louie Romano's wife is said to
have been the cause OF the shooting.

TAKE TOWN
IMMIGRATION TO
SOUTHERN STA TES.
Is to Be Carefully Selected by
Leroy Hodges of the
Tariff Board.

WASHINGTON, ID. G., April IL
Leroy Hodges, at present with the
tarlH board, viii in few months
become commissioner OF immigra-
ton OF the Southern Commercial
Congress. In the interval he will
cooperate with Senator Fletcher
and Managing Director Dave in or
ganizing to successfully carry out
the delicate task thus assigned to
him by the executive committee.
Mr.. Hodges is in complete sympathy
with the Southern Commercial Con
gress in Its repeated declarations
that the lands OF the South would
better remain empty than bring on
a second racial problem. In a
written communication to the execu-
tive committee Mr.. Hodges says:
There is a pressing demand now
in the South for skilled industrial
laborers as we'll for unslsilled work
men who can be relied on and who
will not further comphcate our me-
gro problem.
q would advocate, however, that
the energy of the Southern Com.
mercial Congress he directed to-
wards turning agriculturalists to-
ward the South. The large tracts OF
land which are now lying Idle
throughout the South should be
placed in condition to produce not
only subsistence for the army o.
workers who will be attracted to the
region in quest of employment as
our industrial development con
t!nues. hut also to furnish the raw
cotton, tobacco, sugar cane, and
the other commodities which our
own mills and factories will require
outside OF the export demands.
While this may be made the main
work of the congress for the present.
] do not mean to say that the de-
mand for industrial laborers and
skilled artisans should've overlook
ed, for believe that as far as it is
practical an effort should he ex-
erted to supply this need. But as
these latter classes are seldom per-
manent settlers in any one locality,
the Southern Commercial Congress
can best serve the South by guiding
within her boundaries those who
will become real factors in the COM
munitics in which they take up
their residence"
MIR. Hodges is native of North
Carolina, although reared in VIZ
ginia where he received his early
education in Gatewood's Naval Pre-
paratory school at Norfolk. His ed
ucat,on in economics and law was
received in Washington and Lee
University, and at the University of
Chicago. He has spent about two
years in railroad and general en-
g'neering, having served under the
Seaboard Air Line and the Augusta
and Florida railroads, and several
construction companies,
From July "a, 1908, until No
vemDer 1910, with the exception OF
about four months spent in the law
school in Washington and Lee Uni
verslty, he was special agent and
the geographer OF the United States
immigration commission. Resign
ing his position with the immigra-
ton commission, he was appointed
commercial geographer of the tariff
board. November 81, 1910, which
position he now holds.

The Mexican government according

will be held accountable for the loss
of life and injury to Americans at
Douglas, Ariz., during the nghting
between the federals and insurrectos
at Aqua Prleta yesterday. No mat
ter whether the fire of federals or
thai of the insurrectos inflicted the
injury, it will be the federal govern
ment, to which the United states
will look for reparation.
As renewal of the fighting at
Agua Pricta is looked for, it is ex-
pected that formal notice will be
served upon both the federals and
insarrectos that American lives and
American property on this side of
the border must not be endangered.
