BOISE RESTAURANT MEN AR
RESTED BY INSPECTOR

II Most of the restaurant men Of
4 Boise have been ION the carpet" in
the office of James H. Wallis, the
state pure food inspector. Ten Of
them are charged with selling milk
below the legal standard. Ten of
others we're notified they must stop
selling coffee mixed with chicory,
ground wheat, peas, rye and other
vegetable matter.
Warrants for the arrest of 10 res
taurant men of tho city were issued
recently by Justice w. G. Bower. The
state inspector claims the legal
standard of 3.2 per cent butter fat
was not met in the milk sold by
single one of these men. Tests con-
Quoted by the state chemist, Claude
Mason, showed all of them were far
short Of what the law requires them
to have
Under the law, the inspector says
the milk was adulterated if it did not
contain the full amount of 3.2 per
cent OF butter fat. So many tests
conducted by the state chemist
showed the milk far short of even
the standard set for skinned milk.
None of the charges brought by the
inspector indicate in these instances.
the milk was dirty or not fit for food |
in any way. 1t simply did not comply
with the law as to the amount OF but-
ter fat, he claims.
Many Coffee Tests
Some revelations In the coffee tests
were made when the state chemist
went through the samples sent to his
price by the inspector. Out of the |
20 samples taken, only 10 restaurants
and cafeterias were found to he
selling pure coffee. Most of the
goods contained chicory in varying
while some went SO far as
o offer coffee containing all pro-
PORTIONS Of ground wheat peas, rye ]

The restaurant men saw thew t

Local Lawyers Before LEGISLATURE.

1t developed Monday night at q pro-
tracted and lively hearing before the
House Committee on Agriculture and
Mining that the bill to establish a Bu-
reau of Mines had been amended in an
important particular in the Senate with
out the knowledge of Labor Commission
er James b. Doherty, the father of the
proposed legislation. This amendment
was fought by representatives of min
ing companies, and defended by the at
torney who proposed it.
William II. Werth, of Tazewell, ar
Rued that the bill rs originally offered,
like the West Virginia law, would be
construed in this State upon decisions
made in West Virginia. Over there, he
said, it had been held that q mining
negligence of a mine foreman or of a
mine boss. This he contended. would
be an injustice to miners and would
prevent their recovery for negligent
acts of the agents of the principals.
The comments upon this speech, made
by former Attorney. General Rufus A.
Ayers and J. F. Bullitt, of Big Stone
Gap, and Major r. r. Henry. of Taze-
well, were quite caustic. Mr.. Bullitt
said Mr.. Werth is regarded as the lead
ing representative of people who bring
damage suits in his section. The Wen
denburg amendment, he pointed out,
would carry the law far beyond its pres
ent purview.
Mr.. Bullitt had an amendment of his
own, putting the liability on the same
basis as at present, in his judgement.
Major Henry thought the amendment
the work of some PRO Bono Publico''
perhaps damage suit lawyer.
"a MI Il
bill with no suggestion from any per
son, had published it IN his annual re-
port of year ago, and had sent it to
various parties with requests for sug-
gestions. The mining companies had
made very few few suggestions.
Mr.. Werth told Mr.. Doherty ne did
not believe he had been guilty of any.
thing improper, but that he had beer
imposed upon.

Rocky Dell School Closes.

Miss Ella Cfabtree closed the most
successful school taught at Rocky Dell
for some years last week.
Miss Ella deserves much credit, which
she has undoubtedly received. She has
frequently been spoken of as one of the
most patient and energetic teachers of
this day, and has taught the boys and
girls morally as well as mentally, of
which her patrons are especially CRATE
ful. Her every day moral conduct not
only influenced her pupils, but influenced
this entire community.
There were q number of prizes award
ed to the pupils for best grade in differ
ent classes and best attendance. Those
receiving prizes were: Ottie Bourne,
Bowen, Willie, Felix and Frank Kepass
and Walter Bourne.
Lewis Carbaugh, who finished the
free school course, deserves honorable
mention for his success and faithful
work. We hope what he has accom-
plished will inspire others to higher
work and successful life.
We congratulate both teacher and pu-
pills on the success attained, and hope
Miss Ella will return next year and ac-
complish so much again.

Legislative LacOaleS of Local Interest

The principal event of local interest
in the legislature this week was the
passing by the House of the local road
law, introduced by Senator Royal, it
having previously passed the Senate,
and it now only requires the Governor q
signature to become q law.
Next In Importance is the change in
the congressional districts, when on
Monday it was quickly settled by both
without material opposition to the com
mittee amendments to the Bowman bill,
and it was sent to the Governor. Hail.
fax and Charlotte counties are taken
from the Sixth and placed in the Fifth
district, and no other district in the
state is affected.
All opposition was withdrawn, and it
was agreed by the democratic members
that the contemplated change would
make the Fifth safely democratic, and
as no counties were to be added to the
Sixth district from the Ninth, it was
felt that democratic supremacy in the
Sixth would not be imperiled by the
change. The House members from
Halifax, who have all along sought to
prevent the change, were forced to
withdraw their objections, and voted IN
favor of the bill.
OAey ohO SOuAIy JNCdouTcrS WOn dLl-
other victory Monday in the House when
the bill was defeated requiring them to
make reports Of the financial conditions
in their offices. The measure had al
ready passed the Senate. Its advocates
in the House offered to amend it, and
did so, to meet objections that it would
be unneceg .ry a expensive to pub
lish the reports in he newspapers, but
this did no good, and the bill was de-
feated. Captain W. w. Baker told of
recent events in Chesterfield county,
where he said az honest treasurer got
into trouble because of lack of business
methods in bookkeeping. He said the
bill would improve the slipshod way of
trsnsacting the public business, and was
really to the interest of the treasurers,
but they did not seem to see 1t that way.
His pleadings for the bills passage was
in vain.

BEST DAILY AVERAGE IN
RAILROADS HISTORY.
Nearly Fifty thousand Cars Handled by
Norfolk and Western During Short
Month Of February.

February, 1912, will go down in the
history of the Norfolk and Western as
the biggest month in the annals of the
road. During the twenty-nine days q
daily average of ], ,666 cars were handled
by the Pocahontas division ct Blueficld
and Williamson. This does not include
the cars delivered to the Carolina.
Chnchfield and Ohio, nor the Louisville
and Nashville, or other roads in South
west Virginia.
By actual count 48, 3l4 cars were han.
died by this division during the month,
IN spite OF car shortages, and the record
stands as a monument to the RAILROAD
methods in use on the western division
OF the road. Some of the western con-
Meeting roads have had embar1oes
against Norfolk and Western coal since
the MIDDLE of January, while at times
all roads have embsrgoes, and at one
time there was an eastern embargo at
tidewater due to the frozen condition of
the ocean on which boats could not DIV
because of the blizzards.
The biggest record for one month bv
the Pocehontas division is 81, ,l59 cars.
but this record was established during q
thirty-one day month, so the February
record from daily average standpoint
is better one.
Every week new coal cars are dellv-
ed to the road now, and it is expected
that new engine equipment will CON-
mence to come from the Roanoke shops
by the 18th instant. The new engine
equipment has been under construction
at the Roanoke shops for some time,
and is Norfolk and Western product.
as are many of the steel coal cars in use
on the road, showing the versatility of
the management, which expects to do
the biggest business in the history of
the road during the next few months.
Weather reports from the west yes-
terday were not encouraging, blizzard
conditions continuing. Thousands of
cars are tied up around Toledo and De-
troit and the outlook for the next few
days is not exceptionally bright, al
though cars are being returned from
the east as fast as they can he delivered.

said Mr.. Slemp last night. 'Strangest
OF all, he continued, is the failure of

FREIGHT ENGINE WILD At NORTON.
Breaks Loose Suddenly and DaShsS Into a
Passenger TTain---hObOdy Hurt.

Considerable excitement was caused
in Norton last Monday afternoon when
a big freight engine broke loose, seem
ingly on its own accord, ran at rapid
rate for ten hundred yards or more,
crashing into passenger engine No 6,
which was being switched to pull out q
train to Bluefeld. No one knows how
the engine got started but it is believed
that some boy opened the throttle, and,
finding that he was in trouble, jumped
off and let the engine go.
The tender of the passenger engine
was almost completely demolished.
Both the tender and engine were thrown
from the track. The Virginia and Ken
lucky train was just leaving for Wise,
Va, with fifteen or twenty passengers
and had it not been for the passenger
engine between it and the big jack more
serious consequences might have re-
suited.
The engineer of the passenger engine
jumped off when he saw he was being
pursued with no one at the throttle.
No one was injured
No. 6, which il due here at 6:39 D. m. =,
was delayed about four hours by the
accident.
