DOCTOR HATFIELD.
A VERY SICK MAN
GVvernor-EIect of West Virginia is
Critically III at Home With
Pneumonia

ECKMAN w, Va, Nov. 14,-Dr. H.
ID Hatfield, Governor-elect of West
Virginia, is a very sscR man at his
home here He has pneumonia. and
today the attending physicians ad-
mitted that his condition is such as
to excite alarm and that he is stead
lily growing worse.
The doctor finished his campaign
in apparently good health, but the
heavy strain and excitement during
the two months he was on the stump
proved too much for hls strength, and
the day following the election he
complained of illness. At first he
did not pay much attention to his
condition, as he was busy receiving
election returns and the congratula-
tons of his friends, but on Saturday
he became so much worse that it
was necessary for him to retire from
active duties and seek a physician.
A careful diagnosis of his case
showed symptoms of pneumonia, and
he was placed under the treatment
Of the best physician obtainable
Early this week the disease develop
ed in its worse form, and since that
time he has been confined to his bed,
and only his most intimate friends
are permitted to visit him.

His Yielding and He is LOOKING
Ahead to the Next campaiqn
Ahead to the Next Campaign

WASHINGTON, Nov 14.-Not.
outstanding the repeated statements
thai Mr.. Bryan will not consider a
place in President Wilson's cabinet
the information comes direct from
a source very close to Mr.. Bryan
himself that the Nebraskan Will ac-
cept and that it is practically settled
that William Jennings Bryan will be
The next secretary of state.
1t Is said that two reasons have
had great influence on Mr. Bryan to
accept cabinet place, the first one
being that Mrs. Bryan has long pro
tested against her husbands con
tinually travelling all over the coun-
try and his lack of home life. She
protested against his being a candi-
date before the Baltimore convention,
for, if he had been nominated, he
paign and the family would have had
to remain at Lincoln without the
head of the house
Mrs. Bryans condition is such that
she has demanded that her husband
spend more time with her, and if he
became secretary Of state he would
have to settle down in Washington
and could devote much of his time
to her and his family.
Bryan thinks the coming Demo
cratic administration is going to be
a success and as Governor Wilson
is pledged to but one term, that as
the premier of the administration, he
would naturally come in for much of
the credit done and would be in line
for 1916 He now thinks that he
would stand a much better show, as
a member of the administration and
inside, than outside the ranks and
fighting alone
During his visit to Washington, Mr.
Bryan has made a quiet investiga-
ton regarding home in Washington
after March 4 and is making prepar-
atiOns to return early in the next
year and settle here permanently.
Another man, who is looked upon
for appointment either in the cabinet
or to foreign mission is Judge West
colt, of New Jersey. 1t was he who
withdrew from the senatorial fight
in New Jersey in favor of Congress-
man Hughes, of New Jersey, and this
prevented a split in the Wilson ranks
in New Jersey. He is a warm per
sonal friend of the Governor and IS
booked for something good.
Josephus Daniels is another man
whom Washington is playing as GER
tain for a cabinet position

Com panions Have Eluded The Au-
thorities, and Nothing Has Been
Heard of Them-sheriff offers Good
Reward For Capture.
All efforts to apprehend or learn
anything of the whereabouts of the
murderer of Raffaele di Constanza
have failed, although the authorities
have made every possible effort along
that line. Sheriff Kettering has mott
fed all the cities in the East, and the
detective bureaus, but has not learned
anything Of a beneficial nature.
Several opinions have been advanc-
ed as to where the murderer and his
friends have gone, and, while they APP
pear plausible they do not add any
evidence that would lead to their cap
ture Some people believe that they
reached the Baltimore and Ohio at
Kearneysyille and boarded a train for
Washington, and from there went on
to New York Others think they reach
ed Bunker Hill that morning in time
for a Cumberland Valley train and
travelled east that way, but neither
are known to be true.
Wednesday afternoon Sheriff Ketter-
ing and Prosecuting Attorney A. B.
NoH were able to secure from Frank
di Constinzo. cousin of the murdered
man. an accurate description of the
murderer. and the former Immediately
had posters printed and distributed
them throughout various sections of
the country In addition to that,
Sheriff Kettering has offered a reward
of 500 for Information that will lead
to the arrest, In offering this reward
the sheriff said:
THE undersigned will pay $4,000
reward for information leading to the
arrest of Angelo di Costanza. who
murdered Raffaele di Costanza at the
South Quarries of the Standard Lime
and Stone Company, located in Berke-
ley county, W. Va, on November II,
1912
"Costanza is dark complicated
weighs 100 pounds and is about FIVE
feet nine inches tall. He has light
beard around his chin with smooth
cheeks and upper lip. He is about q
years old, has dark hair and was
dressed in blue serge suit. at the
time OF the murder
The foregoing reward will be paid
promptly.

The report embodies a striking
summary concerning the extensive
program of additions and betterments
authorized by the directors during the
last three years. 1t is stated that
most of the important Improvement
work has been completed, and refer
ence is made to the operations Of the
year as indicating something of the
benefits to be expected from it, With
reference to this ii is observed that
the company was enabled during the
past year to carry 7S6,S79,352 addi-
tfonal tons one mile, or an increase
of 6.72 per cent, wlun no additional
transportation cost" m fact there
was "a decrease of $67,265 as compar-
ed with the next preceding year. This
is due largely to increasing the aver
age traiuload from something more
than 440 tons to over 554 tons, or
nearly &c per cent. When all the
work under way is completed it is be-
lieyed that a considerably larger vol
ulue oil business may be handled and
with more marked economy.
Continuing along this line, the re
port says The immediate response
TO these increased facilities however

on the company's lines suggest the
necessity in the near future of furth-
