expected to be decisive. that IL seems
useless TO forecast a result dependent
upon the Maryland primary. The sup
porters Of Mr.. Taft expected the vo,e
OF Pennsylvania and Illinois to end

porters Of Mr.. Roosevelt expected the
vots OF Massachusetts, to destroy
President Tft's candidacy. These
states have all voted and the issue
between them remains practically the
same as Il did a month ago. Presi.
den Taft is decidedly in the lead.
Every ordinary sign points to his
nomination Nevertheless his major
ity is not so overwhelming that Il may
not be seriously shaken or broken.
On the other hand, no possible chance
for Mr.. R~oosevelt's nomination ap-
pears. Yet so many surprising things
have occurred in this campaign that
political prophets have come to look
for h unexpected rather than the
ordinary. A warm battle has been
waged in Maryland. The staid old
Baltimore American. a power in the
south. has vigorously supported Pres!-
dent Taft. The Baltimore News.
owned by Frank Munsey, has been
quite as vigorous in the support Of
Mr.. Roosevelt. A complete victory for
Mr.. Taft in Maryland will probably
insure his nomination. A decisive de-
feat would seriously imperil II.

THREE MEN
AIIegedtO Have Demanded $4,000
In Gold of President-EIeCt
Wilson.

Three ''lawless mountaineers" accused
of sending threatening letter to Presi-
dent elect Woodrow Wilson were safely
locked up IN the Essex county Jail at
Newark, N. ]. All traces Of terror have
faded from Bowling Green Mountain,
Pond Mountain and the other New Jer-
sey hills which slope down to the shores
of Lake Hopatcong.
The three men, who are Warren and
Jacob Dunn and Seeley Davenport, were
found in cluster of shacks in the New
Jersey hills.
The letter which it is alleged they sent
demanded that Governor Wilson send
$1,000 in gold, by mail, to the rural free
delivey address given, before assuming
the Presidency or he. would be shot.
The strongest part Of the evidence rests
upon similarity in spelling in letter
written by Jacob in the presence of the
inspectors and the one received by Gov
ernor Wilson.

RESOLUTIONS
Adopted by the West Virginia Fish and
Game Protective Association In Their
Recent Session at Fairmont.

RESOLVED: |. We favor more
effective law relating to prevention and
extinguishment OF forest fires, and the
appropriation of a sum especially for this
purpose. The present law, though crude,
has through the efforts Of the Game
Warden's Department saved millions Of
dollars Of property annually.
2. We commend the efficient services
of the present Game Warden's Depart-
ment, and would like to see him receive
greater pecuniary aid from the State in
his highly important work.
g. We favor greater degree Of care in
the use Of streams as sewers and call at
tention to the fact that outside OF any
question OF sport or beauty, that the very
health and lives of the people Of the
state are endangered by the pollution Of
the streams.
A. We favor the passage of a law and
an appropriation to furnish farmers with
eggs Of quail and other desirable insec-
tivorous birds for the propagation OF the
several useful species.
5. We favor resident hunters license
Of at least one dollar per annum, and call
attention to the right to have the money
80 collected to be expended upon the
preservation OF the forests and streams,
and the propagation and protection of
game and fish.
6. We call attention to the fact that
the license taxes collected from hunters
in the year 1909 and 1870 has never been
appropriated to the purposes for which
such funds are usually expended.
Z. We favor limit to the number Of
fish that may be caught in a single day
by a hook fisherman, not to exceed rs
trout and % bass.
s. We favor law protecting the fish
Of the sucker variety, and all other fishes
from the gig or spear. 1t disturbs the
fish at night and gives the opportunity to
STAY other kinds. Besides, the sucker is
the most harmless, as well as one of the
most useful fishes Of the waters Of this
state
8. We favor establishment of forest
preserves.
10. We commend the good work of
the National Fish Hatchery in West vlr-
ginia, and the work Of the United States
Fish Commission in this state.
II. We acknowledge ourselves under
many obligations to the good people of
Fairmont for the royal entertainment af-
forded the present meeting of this Asso-
citation.

HEALTH RUINED
BY CONSCIENCE
Ismay Has Never Recovered From Effects
Of Titanic Disaster.

LONDON, Dec. 16.--J Bruce Ismay,
his health seriously impaired by the
Titanic disaster and its aftermath has vir-
tually withdrawn from his position as
managing director Of the White Star line
Mr.. Ismay has not been in Liverpool in
several weeks. He is living in secusion
on his Yorkshire property.
The withdrawal of Ismay from the
management Of the White Star Steam
ship Company has long been regarded
here as merely question Of an oppor-
tune moment.
Harold a. SanderHon now is in control
OF the company, though it is not likely
that he will ultimately succeed Ismay as
managing director.
The fact that Mr.. Ismay was exonerat-
ed by the British court Of inquiry on the
popular charge that he innuenced the
navigation Of the Titanic or the speed she
attained was small comfort to the steam
ship head. That came three months after
he had been criticised all over the world
for turning up among the rescued while
SO many hundreds Of men, women and
children, who in the final moments could
command no influence because OF posi-
ton, were drowned or frozen to death in
the water.
Mr.. Ismay was iust so years Of age yes
terday, but his friends say that since
April IA, the day Of the disaster, he has
become physically an old man. Time
has done nothing to soften the wounds

No Date Set for the Trial of Guenkel.

With the conclusion OF the trial OF Mrs
Frieda Hartman FROST, convicted on
Saturday Of first degree murder for adj
ministering arsenic to her husband, Will
lam frost, who died on August 7, the trial
OF Edmund Guenkel, the woman's al
legged accomp lice in the poisoning, is be-
ing discussed. Guenkel is at liberty un-
der $4,000 bail for trial on the charge Of
murder.
1t has been the opinion Of the District
Attorneys Office from the time of the ar
rest of Mrs. frost and Guenkel that there
was less evidence against the man. Dis
trict Attorney Rotan, however, admitted
that the conviction Of Mrs. frost would
weigh againat Guenkel.
Mr.. Rotan said Yesterday that while it
would be satisfactory to the Common
wealth to try Guenkel Immediately a
dozen reasons might arise for the contin-
nance Of the trial. Eek.

DISTRESSING DEATH
OF CHARLES HARTLEY
Well Known Merchant Of Tygarts Valley
Killed By His Own Wagon.
THE VEHICLE RAN OVER HIS CHEST.
Unfortunate Man Was Instantly Killed
Near Kingmont Yesterday.

FAIRMONT, w. Va, Dec. II, 1872
Charles Hartley, aged AZ, son of Mr..
and Mrs. I. A. Hartley, of Sarietta, a
village about nine miles up the Tygart's
Valley river met with a fatal accident
about 5:l5 yesterday evening. Hartley,
who was managing the grocery store Of
his father at Sarietta, came to this city
yesterday with two.horse wagon for
supplies. He loaded his wagon heavily
and started for home. He was seen to
pass point little beyond Hits mines
at Kingmont about o'clock yesterday
evening. At $50 his lifeless body was
discovered at point six miles out of
this city. He had fallen under his wag-
on and the left front wheel had passed
over his chest. It is supposed the weight
OF the load and the shock Of the ac-
cident caused his death. The mark Of
the wheel was almost directly over his
heart. The horses had stopped when the
lines, which were still in his clasp, had
frightened and the body was found resting
between the front and rear wheels of the
wagon.
The discovery of the dead body was
made by Charles and Gideon Little who
were walking to their homes from their
work in the mines. The two brothers,
upon making discovery, hurried to a
nelghboriug house and sent a telephone
message to County Coroner Frank A..
Lloyd Of this city. Mr.. Lloyd secured an
automobile and soon reached the scene
of the accident.
The body was then placed in the ma
chine and taken to the home OF Mr..
Hartley's parents. Later it was prepared
for burial No funeral arrangements
were made last night.
For number of years, Mr.. Hartley
who was married and has four children,
resided on jackson street in this city.
He conducted grocery store there and
was well known over the city. Last
fall he returned to the home of his par
ents at Sarietta and had taken charge of
the management of the Hartley store
there. The dead man was one of nine
children and his was the first death in
the family. Both his aged parents as
well as his three brothers and five sisters
survive Mr.. Hartley is also survived
by his wife and five children,
The tragic death, the first in the large
family, came as terrible shock to both
Mr.. and Mrs. Hartley and they were pros
trated with grief when they learned that
their son had met with accidental death.
The lines which were wrapped about
one of Mr.. Hartley's legs, and clutched
in his hand were pulled between the
horses and the gears Of the wagon, show
ing that he fell at the heels OF the horses
and was then run over. The team stood
quietly when the lines frightened and
made no effect to run away.-Fairmont
