nelius Bliss, was called. He said that

contributions.
Dixon followed Cannon and said
that he had collected funds for the
Progressive campaign other than
those handed by Treasurer Hooker.
who testified yesterday that the ex-
penditures cf the Roosevelt campaign
was $4,000.
Dixon insisted that he was sure the
committee was only investigating the
Roosevelt fund.

with the committee when called, but
he testified that he had spent s96. 900
IN the Progressive primary campaign

ing directed against Roosevelt more

1R. HATFIELD DAVIS AND HIS OLD FRIENDS
AGAIN ARE VERY MUCH AT OUTS NOW
RIFLES HANDED IN
BY ITALIAN MINERS
Who Decide to Desert Mother
Jones and Obey the State
Authorities.

CHARLESTON. Oct. Report:
from Boomer this morning were &c
the effect that many of the Italian
miners were turning over their
rifles to a committee of citizens.
Leaders among the italians stated
that their countrymen had no desire
to engage in controversy with the
authorities. A meeting of citizens
OF that section was held last night,
and 1t was at that time they de-
cided not to follow the instructions
OF Mother" Jones not to surrender
their rifles.
As the closing Of the two mines
of the Sunday Creek Coal and Coke
Company and two mines OF the NJ. b.
Coal Company, all union mines but
outside Of the martial law district
was due to trivial matters, and as the
action was taken without the con.
sent or approval of the union Of
ficials, it is not believed it will last
long although 600 men are affected.
Testifying before the mining in.
vestigation commission, Thomas L.
Felts, head of the detective agency
which furnished the mine guards
declared that Ernest Gaujot, the
mine guard whom the miners have
feared most, was not in the employ
of his agency at the time of the
Paint creek troubles and that eau
jot, therefore, could not have been
in charge OF the guards.
Miners have declared that Gaujit,
whether in charge or not, was a,
least conducting the warfare against
the miners on Paint creek, and that
the mine guards respected his in
structions.
Guard Hale testified the other day
that Gaujot was in charge after
Phaupp was shot and that the twen-
ty-three miuers were locked in box
car by instructions from Gaujot, who
assisted in guarding the men while
SO imprisoned.
Felts contended that non-resi-
dent of the state could act as an Of
flcer in this state without violating
the law.
Six companies of militia were sent
home today.

This Afternoon to Big Crowd
as He Has All Along His
Great Tour.
ANSWERS THOMPSON
And Shows Hundreds of Vot-
ers How Democrats Would
Not Let Them Vote.

PIEDMONT, Oct AFTER a
great day OF campaigning in Tucker
county yesterday where four meet
iugs we're held, DR.. Hatfield and his
party came into Mineral county to-
day for two meetings. He spoke to
large crowd in Piedmont this ar
tcrnoon and the night meeting will
be held at Keyser.
Senator Sol White. the war
horse OF Mingo county, joined DR..
Hatfield today and will be active in
the campaign up until election eve.
pr. HattieIds party is following in
the trail OF Mr. Thompson, the DEM
ocratic candidate, and is answering
satisfactorily every question and is
sue put forth by the Huntington
lawyer.
At Davis last night DR.. Hatfield
spoke to one Of the largest political
assemblages in the history Of that
town. He brought out at Thomas
the provision of the primary law
introduced by Democrats at the last
legislative session which il passed
would have DISTINGUISHED hundreds
OF voters there. 1t provided that if
mans vote was challenged he
would have to prove by three free
holders living in the precinct in
which he applied to vote that he
was a legal voter. In the immediate
district of Thomas there are several
precincts in which there is not a
single freebooter. Dr.. Hatfield
pointed out that this law would
have dsfranchised hundreds OF
voters, and bringing this fact so
close home ne made deep impress
sion on the workers and they
checred Hatfield loudly.
This afternoon DR.. Hatfield in his
address here answered Thompson-s
attack on the tax law system. He
showed that. West Virginia under
this system enjoyed the lowest tax
rate Of any state in the union. He
declared emphatically that he stood
on the platform adopted at the
Huntington convention which was
thoroughly progressive and if elect
"a liz would stand for II
The crowds that have turned out
70 hear DR.. Hatfield everywhere he
has gone bespeak his popularity
and indicate that the people have
confidence in him.
~ Davis last night Hatfield spoke
70 crowd three or four times as
large as that which heard Thomp-
son on the previous night and that
has been the story all siong the
way. DR., Hatfield feels confident
thai his election is assured by an
enormous majority.

ELECTRIC
Score Board Will Be In
Installed to Give World
Series Results.

The baseball fans in the city who
are Interested in the worlds series,
which will be played between the
New York Giants and the Boston Red
Socks next week, and who are not in
a positio nto so to the series are to
have treat and get to see the games
as they are played in New York and
Boston by means of an electric score
board which has been secured by a
number OF local people at a great OK
pense.
The beard, which will arrive here
Monday, is one Of the latest inventions
along that line aad Is the same as
watching the games played. Three
seconds after the play has been made
in New York or Boston it is flashed
on this board by means OF number
of small electric bulbs. 1t goes into
detail, telling every ball, strike, hit,
put out and run made by every player
on each team
This wonderful board will be placed
in, the Victoria theater next Tuesday
afternoon and as the game starts at
2 O'Clock in New York the theater
doors will be thrown open at 1880 in
order to allow every one to get in at
the starting Of the game. The people
who had the results there last year
lost money on the proposition, but
as this one is so much better and the
interest in the series this year is
greater a large crowd should turn out
every day and see the games much
cheaper than they could see them If
they were in New York. The price
Of admission will be twenty-five cents

$3I,OOO FOR STAMFORD BOY Big Judgment Allowed Against New Haven
 Railroad LAD LOST LEGS WHILE
 CROSSING TRACKS
Accident Happened Near Hollister Heights-High
 Court Sustains Award

On the ground that A is a railroads duty to guard every grade crossing, even if it's only a patch across the tracks and there is no regular cross ing at the place, Joseph Kmetz, Stratford boy, was awarded $S1, 1000 damages in New York not long ago as the result of an accident in which the boy lost both legs at Hollister Heights.
 There is no regular crossing at that spot, but the residents habitua1ly use a path In crossing the raj road track and the court decided that the rail road was bound to guard It.
 The railroad appealed the case, but the appellate court of New York has just handed down a decision sustain ing the lower court and confirming damages of $21, 900.
 In reviewing the question the court says: we think the law Of Connec- ticut, of New York. and of Federal courts is to the effect that where by long acquiescence the public has been permitted to cross railroad tracks at given point, the duty Is imposed upon the company to give reasonable warning of the approach of its trains"

Especial from United Press.)

London, Feb. 5-''Its all biuff."
 This was John Redmond's comment today on the threats of the Ulsterites to break up winston ChurchtlIs home rule meeting at Belfast. The Nation aist leader, who is convalescing from injuries Sustafned in a runaway acci- dent a month ago, expects to accom- pany the first lord of the admiralty to the camp of the enemy, and is look ing forward to the experience with much glee.
 You should bear in mind" he said, ''that these threats do not come from the general body of Protestants in Protestants even in Ulster. They come merely from the Orangemen, a very small but a very noisy minority. Such threats have been made many times but nothing ever came of them. Moreover, the British public has be- come very tired of them"
 Belfast, Feb. 5-AIarmed by the elaborate preparations made by the demonstration scheduled to be held here on Thursday, the Catholic clergy today took steps which will probably dwiEdle the attendance and may pre- vent bloodshed.
 Priests in this section personally visited their parishionerS and advised them not to attend the meeting, fear ing there will be bloodshed

Minors Will Be
 Tried Privately
 In Judges Room

In hearing several cases against under-aged boys in the city court this morning, Judge Frank L. Wilder es- tablished the precedent of adjourning the trial to the judges room and hearing it there in private, admitting only those who had business
 This procedure has comes to be the custom in most of the city courts of the country and is due to the fact that it is generally much easier to get at the truth and reach a proper settlement of cases where the youthful offenders are tried in private The crowded court room frightens the boys and they will not tell their stories, as they do in d more secluded place.
 the custom sometimes to clear the courtroom when minor cases were be- ing heard, but this involves a lot of trouble, especially if other cases are to follow and the simpler plan of talk ing the boys into the judges room will probably be followed in future.
