DAVIS ACCEPTS

WASHINGTON, July %. : The
nomination of John w. Davis to
be Solicitor General, which was
sent to the senate late Saturday
afternoon, was confirmed by the
senate today. at the first execu-
tive session at which the nominal
ton could be considered. In the
absence Of Senator Culbertson,
Senator Chiffon presided today
over the session of the senate
judiciary committee, W h i c h
unanimously an d Immediately
recommended that the nomina-
ton be confirmed, and it went
through without opposition, this
afternoon.
Mr.. Davis is expected to send
in his resignation as a member OF
Congress within day or two,
and to take the oath of office as
Solicitor General as soon as he
does so.
At an informal conference of
Progressives in Congress, held
in the House of Representatives
this morning, it was announced
by Representative Victor Muir
dock, that a Progressive candi-
date for Congress, to succeed
John w. Davis, would be entered
in the race in the First West Vir-
ginia district, as soon as Mr..
Davis resigned to accept the
position of Solicitor General. 1t
was agreed that no person who
styles himself a Progressive
Republican,, would be accepta-
BILE to the Progressive party, but
that a "straight-cut" Progressive
who has no utilization with the
Republican, or any other party,
will be named. 1t was stated
that no union Of Progressive and
Republican parties, such as was
affected last fall, would be tole-
rated in the First district at the
special election. unless the Re-
publican party agrees to endorse
the Progressive candidate, and
run him on the Progressive
ticket. He must be a straight
Progressive, with no other affilia-
tons, or he will not be named on
the Progressive ticket. according
to Mr.. Murdoch.

DOLL SAVES BABE
Rubber Toy Serves as Buoy---Keeps
Child From Drowning.

HUNTINGTON, July %. "A
rubber doll it carried saved the
infant child of Mrs. John Mathe-
ny from drowning here yesterday
afternoon. The mother with the
child in her arms, fell from a
boat and the baby went under
meath ferryboat. In short
time the child was seen to emerge
from the water at the other end
of the boat and was rescued. 1t
still clutched tightly to the rubber
doll, which acted as a buoy and
kept the child on the surface.
The mother was rescued.

SOCIAL CLUBS
ARE ILLEGAL

Judge Graham, at Huntington,
has just handed down an order to
the effect that Social clubs cam
not sell or dispense booze on Sun
day. They are, in his opinion,
just as illegal as to operate a
saloon on Sunday. This will
mean t he effectual closing Of
every social club in this state.

B. & N. TO BUILD
TO BELINCTON
Ghief Engineer S. D. Brady Says Road
viii Pass Through 6raiton.

Chief Engineer Sam d. Brady,
of the Buckhannon & Northern
Railroad, was in the city today
and was asked by a Sentinel re-
preventative in regard to the pos
sible further extention of the b.
& N. toward this city, and then
onward to Belington. He was
emphatically of the opinion that
the only route that would be sat
isfactory would pass through this
city. He said, however, that the
immediate extension of the road
was not certain, but that the way
past Fairmont was the only thing
now under way.
The possibility of the line being
swung through by way of Clarks-
burg was discussed but he said
this was hardly probable. The
Clarksburg route would not get
the road into the coal district
that is being aimed at and would
only strike the Pittsburg coal to
limited degree. The cost of this
line would not be nearly so cheap
as the one through Grafton and
and would have a sleeper grade.
He said that the work that had
already been done as to grading
the line through to Belington had
gone SO far along that the COM
pletion of the grading of this line
would be small compared to grad
ing an entirely new line through
Bridgeport.
When this line is extended
Grat.on is practically assured OF
having ,he road pass through its
boundari IS. The other route dis
cussed w ,uld be unsuitable from
a humble Of view points.
Mr.. BRADY stated that the
bridge at Catawba was the pres
ent proposition that was receiv-
ing most attention by the B. q
N. interests. The permission to
build the bridge has been secured
but the plans and specifications
have not yet been approved.
The government wants the b. q
N. to put in a $50 foot span in
their bridge, while the railroad
thinks that 300 feet would be am
pie. The present span OF the
bridges crossing the river are
only $50 feet. The government
wants the span 70 feet longer.
This addition to the length OF the
span would greatly add to the
cost of the project. An agree
ment will probably be reached
soon.
1t was stated that the trouble
that was encountered in extend
ing the main line into Fairmont
was the prohibitive prices asked
for the right of way. This
caused the line to be DETECTED
and it is likely that Fairmont will
only have a spur run into the city.

years Of age everything older ones

curing it. Give babies milk or at
most some well cooked cerialy Above
all keep flies from the food and nip
pies. Give the babies plenty of fresh
air; when it is so terribly hot give
them cool bath and take off some of
its clothes during the hottest part of
the day. A flannel band and napkin
are sufficient on some days. Other
cloths may be put on when it is cool

after it is boiled. When it is very hot

The Leader,
What shall the leader be in that
great day
When we who sleep and dream that
we are slaves A.
Shall wake and know that liberty is
ours?
Mark we'll that word-not yours. NOT
mine, but ours.
For through the mingling of the sep
arate streams
Of individual protest and desire
In one united sea of purpose lies
The course to freedom.
When progression takes q
The undisputed right of way and
sinks !
The old traditions and conventions
where
They may not rise, what shall the
leader be? ulxs
NO mighty warrior skilled in crafts
Of war,
Sowing earth's fertile burrows with
dead men,
And staining crimson Gods cerulean
To prove his prowess to a shudderine
world.
Nor yet monarch with a sillv
crown,
Perched on an empty head-an in
bred heir,
10 senseless titles and anemic blood.
No ruler purchased by the periured
votes
Of striving demagogues whose god
is gold.
Not one of these shall lead TO liberty.
The weakness of the world cries out
for strength,
The sorrow of the world cries out
for hope,
Its suffering cries for kindness.
He who leads
Must then be strong and hopeful at
the dawn,
That rises unafraid and full of Joy,
Above the blackness of the darkest
night.
He must be kind to every living
thing,
Kind at the Krishna, Buddha end the
Christ,
And full of love for all created life.
Oh, not in war shall his great PROV
ess lie,
Nor shall he find his pleasure in the
chase.
Too great for slaughter, friend of
man and beast,
Touching the borders of the unseen
realms,
And bringing down to earth their
mystic fires, ::
10 light our trouble pathways wise
and kind,
And human to the core, so shall he
be,
The coming leader of the coming
time.

Tech is playing Western today. De
Manual Trainers and the Red and
White youngsters are getting together
for their annual game, which is expect
ed to decide the championship OF the
schools for the year despite the fact
that each eleven has another game to
go.
Tech is looking to its weight in the
line, a hard line smasher in Gibson and
a perfected defense with two good ends
in Felt and Roberts to deliver for the
Red and Gray.
Western will depend on speed with a
well balanced team built around ''Untz'
Brewer, the younSster who practically
defeated Eastern in the battle a week
ago. Both teams are predicting victory,
Tech on account OF its superior weight
and strength and Western on account
of Brewers ability to kick and shoot
the long pass to pair of capable ends
in Roger and Mackall.
The game is expected to be the hard
est fought Of the series. Both eleVens
realize the position they are in TO-DAY
and knowing that a win means an ex-
cellent chnace az the title are putting
forth their pest efforts.
Those who have predicted win favor
Tech slightly on account of its greater
physical power, but If Western can get
Its passes to work with even fair sue
cess. the Red and White is likely to be
returned a winner. Tech, however. Is
calculating with Supplee and Boryer to
stop the Western shifts and hang up
a win for the Manual Training School.
