Broom company is to take the labor Of
39S convicts daily, but since the day of the
escape Of Morley. Dowd and Gray II has
been using from 1sS to LIS. Its first eN-
cuse was that the disturbed conditions at
the prison made operation on the broom
plant at anything near its capacity an
imsossibility. Later. when prison affairs
resumed the normal Mr.. Lee complained
that he was overstocked with finished
goods and could not use the men.
The board, however, has been charging
him up with the number Of convicts he
was under obligation TO employ. The
charging was all right, but Mr.. Lees
company has not paid and the board is
determined that he shall pay up, use the
number Of men he agrees to take or
quit the job.
The state not only wants the money
the convicts can earn TO help pay the
expenses of the prison. but the enforced
idleness of the men is considered bad.

ADOPT STRONG ANrLlIouoR RES
OluTiON AT MEETING.
Hello Yesterday Afternooo-wm urae
Passaae OF Bill To Prohibit Sale
OF intosiesnts In Drug Store.

Following more than an hours de
batting the Retail Druggists OF Wheel.
ing in a special meeting at the board
Of trade yesterday afternoon decided
70 line up the West virginia State
Pharmaceutical Association and ask
the legislature at the coming session
to pass laws prohibiting the sale OF
liquors in drug stores.
The meeting was called primarily
with the view OF taking some action
OF this matter before the Legislature
convenes but vas so well attended.
nearly every Wheeling pharmacy be.
ing represented. that the druggists
voted TO form a permanent organiza-
ton and another meeting will be held
soon when steps necessary to make
the organization a permanent one will
be taken. The druggists Of the city
at one time were permanently organ.
lied so the steps now being taken are
more for reorganization. At yester-
days meeting II. -. Baer presided and
W. w. Irwin acted as secretary.
The resolutions passed on the LIQUOR
question read as follows:
Resolved. that We, the druggists OF
Wheeling. hereby unequivocally en-
dorse the action OF the West Virginia
Pharmaceutical association in their
stand relative TO the sale OF liquor in
drug stores.
Resolved. that We hereby request
our representatives to the State Leg
islature TO help nae a Law prohibit
ing h a OF liquor in drug stores.
II is likely the Wheeling druggists
will work with those in other cities
OF the state to have the proposed Law
against the sale OF liquor sead so that
II will be unlawful for any drug store
TO keep for sale whiskey or alchoholic
liquors used as drinks and requiring
h use OF pure alcohol when needed
for preservative purposes or in filling
prescriptions.

Thought That Million Dollars Would Aid In Electing New ter
 sey Governor.

Chicago, July 17.-One million dol lars for a campaign fund.
 This was proposed to the members of the Democratic national committee by Roger Sullivan of Illinois, after all its other business was completed. No definite action was taken before the committee adjourned to depart for h. dianapolis, where the members have planned to visit Gov. Marshall. vice presidential nominee
 Like all other organizations of this kind" Sullivan said, this committee begins without funds. It Is broke. The first thing to do, and the most impor tant is to raise campaign fund. At the start you will need $200,000 or S250,0O0 for the printing and distribu- tion of literature, In all, about $1,000,0 ,000 will be required.
 The question of fund will be set tied by the executive committee, which the new chairman, William F. McCombs. will appoint this week.

ST. T.LOUlSiAN IN FOREIGN CELL
Writes His Sister, Living in St. Louis, That Judge and American Ordered
 Crueites Heaped on Him.

St. Louis, July 17-Courtlandt B. Van Sickler, formerly of St Louis, nephew of Mrs. George II. Augustine, wife of the vice-president of the Carle- ton Dry Goods company, has written from his prison cell in Truxillo, Hon. duras, to his sister Miss Florence Van Sickler of 59l6 Von Versen ave- nue, appealing for aid and begging that something be done 10 insure him a fair trial on the charge Of murder.
 Van Sickler has been in his tropical dungeon since June 1, when he shot and killed F. P Shaw, manager of banana plantation He says he fired in self-defense, after Shaw had threat ened him with a revolver and had ap- piled vile names to him and to his young wife.
 Although he gave himself up, Van Sickler writes, he was put in chains. and one of the chains, with a 35-pound weight attached has remained on his left ankle. He has had no cot to sleep on, he says, and he has been told that the hardships inflicted on him were at the request of the acting American consular agent. He also says the judge before whom he is to be tried has ordered him harshly treated, and has said that Van Sickler, by killing Shaw. caused him (the 1udge) to lose a good income. Certain Honduran of ficials are said to have held their DO sitions through Shaw's influence.
