NO STATE LOSES MEMBER
Massachusetts Gains TWO Under New
Apportionment Bill


Washington, April 1.-Massachu-
sets will be entitled to two additional
members in the house of representa-
tives if congress passes the reappor-
tionment bill favorably reported to the
house by the committee on census,
making the total strength of the dele
cation sixteen.
The bill places the membership of
the next house at 433, an increase of
forty-two over the present member
ship. Under this plan no state loses
a member, which would have been
the case had number lower than 433
been named.
The bill reported yesterday is prac-
tically identical with the CrumpackeE
measure, which passed the house last
session, but which failed to come to
vote in the senate.

win the Pennsy Buy the N. & VIZ

VIII the Pennsy Buy the N. & W.?
An interesting rumor in financial and
railway circles is that the great Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company is likely in a
short time to buy complete control of the
Norfolk & Western Railway. The Penn
sy already owns sufficient interest in
the N. & w. to have large influence in the
policy and management of the latter COM
pany, and according to current reports it
is likely to purchase full control of this
road. 1t is said that the Pennsy is ar
ranging for bond issue of 500, 900, 900
to complete this deal. Once in full con-
troll of the Norfolk & Western, the Penn
sylyania would use il as part of a direct
line from New York TO the South and
would put on several additional trains to
accommodate this traffic and the business
coming from the West at Harrisburg. A
great deal of new freight traffic would be
diverted this way also. The statements
made that the extensive Improvements
now being made on the Cumberland VAL
ley Railroad is part of this plan.
This section would not suffer any
should the Pennsylvania absorb the Nor
folk & Western. While the N. &. w. is
very excelIently managed system and
is up-to-date in its methods, it cannot be
expected to maintain the standard OF the
Pennsylvania road, the greatest railroad
system in the world, perhaps. Pennsyl-
vania management would mean continu-
Gus improvement and consequent benefits
to the people of all this section.
The Pennsylvania might even squeeze
the B. & o. into joining in the erection Of
a decent station building at Shenandoah
Junction.

A Big Freight Wreck.

There was disastrous freight wreck
at O'Clock last Friday afternoon on the
B. & o. Railroad near Engle's, this coun-
ty. Fast freight train No. ga had been
held in the block and had just begun to
move when local freight whizzed around
the curve and smashed into the rear end.
The caboose and nine cars of the forward
train were wrecked, and the local engine
was badly damaged. When the collision
was seen TO be inevitable the crew on
the engine jumped and escaped with
slight bruises. Conductor Harry Lakel
who was also on the engine, did not geI
off so well, having had one OF his ankles
badly fractured and sustaining a number
of cuts and bruises. One OF the de-
molished cars was loaded with California
grapes, another was filled with toys con-
signed to Gimbel Brothers. Philadelphia
while a couple of others had miscella-
neous merchandise in them. The people
who gathered at the scene of the wreck
had plenty of fine grapes and almos,
everybody got a Christmas toy OF some
sort.

Another Automobiles.


Governor" VIM. L. Reinhan haSlearn
ed to run an automobile | Yes, sir He
can make 'em do anything that anybody
else can. He has been practicing for
some time past on little Flanders car of
the Shepherdstown Garage, and with his
farsighted specs on he can now run it
straight and true. Of course, it is just as
we'll for folks TO get to one side of the
road when they see him coming, and to
feel real safe we should advise them to
turn up lane, for anybody is liable to
wobble a little when he is new to the
wheel. The "Governor" had an excit-
ing experience over in Maryland the
other day. He went across the river to
a place where the road was wide and
where he would be away from the annoy
ing comments of his colleagues who loaf
around Steve Dandridge's office, and be-
gan 10 practice some fancy movements.
He learned how TO cut the bumpers
scientifically, and then tried to climb a
telephone pole. He got the clutch and
the accelerator into unfavorable iuxtapo-
sition, however, and mistook the car
buretor for the magnetic, and in the con-
fusion thus created he failed to reach the
top, though he felt that he beat the rec
ord for climbing in this section. The
Governor is now going about on crutches,
but he wishes it distinctly understood that
this is not from an automobile accident
he simply dropped heavy piece OF tim
Der on his foot. Several influential DEM
ocrats had promised to 60 driving with
Mr.. Reinhart, but owing to the urgent
requests of their friends they have agreed
TO postpone it until after the next cleo
