PARKER TO SPEAK
At WEST VIRGINIA
Board of Trade Meeting at Moorefield,
West Virginia, Next
Month.

Washington, Aug I0.-G4ward w
Parker, coal stat stician for the
United States Geological Survey, has
accepted an invitation to address the
annual meeting of the West Virginia
Board of Trade at Mooreield on sep
: TENDER II and ID.
Mr.. Parker should make an inter
esting tank to West yirginians as
he is thoroughly conyersant with
their natural wealth, tne extent and
value of the states mineral resources
and the conditions obtaining in their
development. Mr. Parker has repeat
edly emphasized the fact that West
Virginia gets but part of the value
out of its coal and coke by reason
of having comparatively few factories
to create home market for It's
mineral products. Several million
dollars a year are said to be lost by
the coal and coke producers of West
Virginia by reason of the fact that
they ship their coal out of the state
instead of building up home markets
for their products which would in
crease the value of their output.
The vast industrial communities.
which West Virginia might build w
were 1t to retain its coal, coke and
gas for use in the state instead OF
sending them away to enrich other
communities, as well as the increased
prices producers would obtain under
those conditions, are almost hobbies
with Mr. Parker and it is believed
he will open the eyes of the people
of the state to their own waster OF
their natural resources and their
failure to make the most of what Eas
been so bountifully bestowed upon
them.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL OFFICIALS
AND UNION LEADERS TO
MEET IN CHICAGO.

Chicago, Ill.,, Aug. 2s.--Whether
thousands of shopmen employed by
the Illinois Central railroad will
strike or remain at work will, it Is
said, be forecasted by the outcome of
a conference scheduled to be held to-
day between the railroad officials and
a committee. representing the federat-
ed shop employees.
President McCleary and commit
tee representing the employed organi-
cations arrived in the city and pre-
pared to hold series of conferences
with Vice President Park and General
Manager Foley Of the Illinois Central.
The labor leaders, 1t Is said, will
insist that the railroad recognize the
recently organized federated body OF
shopmen, which includes every craft
in the mechanical department.
The railroad officials have been deal
ing with the individual union and do
not desire to change this method OF
conference.
4 At the recent vote OF the shopmen
on the question It is said that 80 per
cent of the workmen went on record
as being in favor of demanding that
the railroads recognize the federated
body. The result Of this vote will be
presented to the railroad officials at
the conference to be held.

FROM YOUTH WHO SLEW HIS
PARENTS AND BROTHER.

army Of newspaper correspondents
and photographers called at the Ind

William Lee, self-confessed slayer OF

Lee slept soundly all night. He has
not made any confession since that

Evansville when he said he believed
his parents intended killing him and

been guarding him say he appears to
enjoy the notoriety attached to him,
Evansville Ind, Aug. 2S.--William

his mother and younger brother Clar-
ence and then set fire to the house

evening and would not give him
money with which to set up house
keeping.
When the confession was made pub
