SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA
COKE GOES TO CALI
FORNIA.
lBy w D. Robert.

1t may not be generally
known that coke made in South
west Virginia is used in Texas
and as far west as California.
yet ii is true. a representative
of the Southern Pacific railroad
was in the Offices ofthe Stonega
Coke x Coal Company here
last week to look after the rout-
ing of twelve cars of coke from
this field to Los Angeles, Calf.
And thus Virginia, because of
high grade of her coking coal,
is able to send one of her pro-
ducts, against a $500 freight
rate clean past the coal mines
of Colorado and Oklahoma, n
fifteen hundred mile longer
haul and take the market. But
at the same time, while there
is pressing demand for more
men in the mining industry in
Virginia, there are, according
TO press reports and private adj
vices, 60 900 men in Los Ange-
les and San Francisco and Col,
orado without work. Women
and children are suffering and
She objects of charity out there
from lack OF employment for
men. Most of them were tax en-
out Of the South and East by
the railroads which represented
TO them that work was plenti-
.ful and fortune sure. They
have not found it so, and now
wish TO be "hack home.r
\ serious condition in Vir-
.ginin today is that of getting
good, industrious men 20 do the
work for which they are need
ed, and it appears that n seri-
Gus question for those who
leave Virginia for the west is to
get work at all More men are
needed right now mt Stonega,
Osaka, Roda, lmboden and
Keokee in this field, and good
miners can make more money
at there places than anywhere
IN the West, even when there
ID any work for them out there.
Just now there is none.
Virginia, particularly, among
the Southeastern states will be
benefited by the Panama Ca
nal, but it will be in proportion
to her efforts to take the bust
meas thus created; and this will
consist largely OF coaling the
interoceanic shipping. b u /
to do this there must be more

Wilson's Teacher Predicted Some Day
 He'd Be President

Joliet, H., November 7.-John Baker of Manhattan was the happiest man in Will county over the election of Woodrow Will son. The election fulfilled a prediction made by his sister, Mrs. Mary Russell, more than 40 years ago. She taught Will son Iii Tiieston school, Wilmington, N. C., when the President-elect was 10 years of age. At that time she predicted that the boy some day would be President. She did not live to see her prophecy fulfilled. She died three years ago at Leesville, N. C., at the age of S4 As a token of his esteem MT. Wilson presented his teach CT with a little fretwood picture frame. This is now in the Baker home. Mrs Russell watched MT. Wilson grow to fame. With each advance she mounted tho picture in the frame higher, She gave the frame to her brother, remarking:
 You'll want to keep this, for when he gets to be President you will be very proud of my teaching"
 Baker said Wilson's father, the Rev. Joseph Wilson. visited him at N.anhat- tan at the time his son published his first book and said
 Well I don't see where Woodrow gets his smartness from.''

TOSS WASFORCED 10 INCREASE MILITIA Former Secretary of Gov ernor Testifies in the ,
 EttOr Trial

Salem Mass, November 7.-That Gov e,nor Foss found it necessary during the Lawrence textile strike to increase the militia forces on guard there to preserve the peace was testified today by Dudley NJ.

 Mir. Holman on cross-examination de- clared he heard Colonel Sweater who was in command of the militia, order the sol diers to clear the streets of strikers on tue morning of January 29, when the street car riots occurred.
 T heard the colonel give the order, and saw the soldiers carry it out" said MT. Holman. Testimony relating to the planting of dynamite in Lawrence was ad- mitted in limited form by Judge Quinn, attorneys for the defense being permitted to ask witnesses if the strikers believed tue dynamite was planted at the instiga- ton of mill owners to prejudice the cause of the strikers.
 Mrs. Josephine MKa, who until recently was Josephine Liss, one of the girl strikers who took the Lawrence children to Washington to appear before the House rules committee, testified that Ettor con til.ually told the strikers to be peaceful and not to provoke trouble She was one who said the mill workers believed the mill owners planted dynamite in Law renee.
 When the dynamite was found" she said, MT Ettor told the people not to believe the strikers had anything to do with it. He said that 1t was job of the capitalists

 IDENTIFIES MAN ON OPERATING TABLE
Montana Switchman Attempts, While Under Doctors Care, to Get
 at Assailant

Chicago, November 7.-The restraining influence of surgeons and bullet wounds had little effect on William Lynch, Helena, Mon. switehman, at hospital here last night after he saw the man who shot him. Lynch was on the operating table and appeared to be in dying con dition. Physicians were probing four bull let wounds when two policemen walked into the room with prisoner. They asked if Lynch was conscious so that he might try to identify their prisoner as the man who shot him. Just then Lynch opened his eyes and saw familiar face.
 Let me get my hands on that man" he cried. Hes the fellc-y who shot me. I just want him for minute and then I'll test his courage before hand
 Maledictions were hurled from the lips of the patient as he jumped up. The phy- sicians captured him. They say Lynch will probably get well.

THIRD TERM FIGHT WILL BE RENEWED Blair's Ideas on Subject Diff
 fer From Clayton FAVORS TWO TERMS
Would Make Man Ineligible After Two Terms of Four Years Each. Clayton Favors One Term
 of Six Years
By c. E. STEWART


 Washington, November 7.-(Special)- Now that the election is over the fight against the third term is to be taken ur with renewed vigor by the National Anti Third Term league, of which former Sen ator Henry w. Blair of New Hampshire | is president Senator Blair, who Is in Washington, believes that a resolution calling for a constitutional amendment | limiting the tenure of office for President to two terms of four years each will stand | better chance of being ratified by the legislatures of the states than resolu- ton similar to the Works Clayton resolu- tion calling for single term of six years.
 "The idea of two terms of four years each is in accordance with the traditions 1 of the office" said Senator Blair. Hi would simply write into the federal con stitution what the well considered Judg- ment of the people of the United States has always stood for. namely, two terms of four years each. It was Washngton's idea.
 At the last session of Congress the House leaders killed the resolution limit ing the presidential term to six years and making a President ineligible because Speaker Clark and Representative Under wood were in an embarrassing situation having been candidates before the 'alti- more convention, and they did not want to appear to be wteaking revenge on their successful rival by passing imme- diatey on the heels of their defeat a res oluton foreclosing Wilson from aspiring to a second term. The two term idea would meet this situation. It would also dispose of Colonel Roosevelt, for, whether his service in the White House be con strued to have been one or two terms, the resolution would be worded to fix the limit of the tenure at eight years and that would make the colonel ineligible for another four years.
 If the resolution can be passed early in the session by the House the legisla- lures in many states coudl ratify 1t at once" said the senator
 Many members Of Congress, however, are strong in the support of Representa- tive Clayton's idea of a single term of six years for President. They believe that six years is time enough for any admin istration to pass such laws and carry out the policies for which it stands, and they believe that the entire time of the ad- ministration should be devoted to that purpose and not to the building up of powerful political machine to be used in the following national election to keep tho administration in power.
 IL is highly probable that some resolu- ton regarding the office of President will be considered and passed and submitted to the people in the form of an amend ment to the Constitution during the next session of Congress. It will, however, in all probability be so worded and formed as to have no effect upon the eligibility of the President-eect, but will be made effective beginning with the term of office of the next President to tbe elected in ls16
 At least this is the opinion of many of the legislators in the last Congress.
