UNDECIDED As TO
FURTHER APPEAL

As stated exclusively in THE EVEN
ING JOURNAL yesterday Chief Justice
Pennewill and Judge Woolley in the SUI
perior Court yesterday afternoon hand
ed down an opinion refusing TO quash
the return OF the sherii's jury liking
the awards for properties, or TO vacate
the writ in the matter of the joint
building side. Exceptions were noted
by Robert "A. Richards and John r.
Neary, representing Dr. S. G. Ebert

The Joint Building Commission Is

take the block bounded by King
French Tenth and Eleventh streets for

court proceedings.
Mr.. Richards today said he could not
say whether any further proceedings
would be taken until after he consulted
with his client
Chief Justice Pennewill in summing
up the points raised in the case and DIS
cussing the legal phases Of them, con
cludes.
in disposing of the motion TO
quash the writ, as well as the mo-
ton TO vacate the return. the deci-
sion of the court is based upon the
statute which authorized the proceed
ings under consideration. We have
not regarded II as necessary or
profitable 10 consider the history Of
fhe writ of ad qued damnum, or its
peculiar functions at different times
and in different jurisdictions. The
statute before US was the authority
for its issuance in this case, and
and very clearly prescribes the
duties TO be performed hereunder
Two important and undisputed
facts have had considerable weight
with the court in the determination
OF the land owner, and they are:
Il. That in no event is the court
permitted 10 question. OF in any way
interfere with the amount Of dam
ages awarded. The finding of the
jury is made final by the statute.
Such being the case we have felt that
the court should not destroy the YER
dict by quashing the writ. or vacat-
Ing the return. except for reasons
that we're clear and strong. At least.
the reasons must not be Of an ex-
tremely technical character, as we
think they are in the present case.
"2. That It is not known or alleged
that the land owner was prejudiced
or injured in his property rights in
the slightest degree by the commits
sion or omission of any of the acts or
things complained of. II is not con-
tended that the proceedings we're in
fact irregular or unlawful, but sim
ply that the writ and return do not
affirmatively and conclusively show
a strict compIiance with the law.
In all other cases in which al
quod damnum proceedings were ia.
ken 10 this term. but no motions made
TO quash the writs. or vacate the re.

road coal cars. The western operat-
ors had to compete with this coal
and not infrequently at a loss. The
natural advantages enjoyed by the
West Virginia operators could not
properly be objected to. But it was
thought that the West Virginia oper-
ators should pay as much per ton for
mining their coal as was required of
the western operators. The conse-
Quence of this was that the head off,
Gals of the miners national organiza-
ton have been trying TO organize the
miners of Paint and Cabin creek dis
tricts. The operators of these dis
tricts made a strenuous effort to pre-
vent the organization Of their miners.
Organizers were threatened; driven
out OF the district and, in some cases,
We understand were made away with
and in many cases injured. The war
began between the national organizers
and the coal operators. The local op-
orators did not propose TO surrender
even a portion of their vast profits
to the local miners and the result has
been that the contests became general
The brutal and bloody methods which
have been testified to before the SEN
ate committee were adopted by the
operators, the motive being the reten-
ton OF an unjust profit on their prod
ucts
The advantages enjoyed by the
West Virginia operators benefited the
consumers of their coal very little,
for the prices for their coal were fixed,
not at what they could afford to sell
it for, but just enough lower than
other coal to get the business. The
Operators OF the Paint and Cabin
creek districts grabbed for them
selves all the profits that the traffic
would bear Had they paid their min.
ers the union scale, they would still
have had enough advantage in the
less cost for operating TO enable them
to compete on fair terms with the
western operators.
There is small wonder that the
country is indignant at the terrible
tale OF cruelty which is being un-
folded before the senate committee.
Punishment sure and certain should
follow the brutality and lawlessness
Of the West Virginia mine operesars.

ROUGH RIDING TERMS.

The terms on which It is reported
tina, Theodore Roosevelt will consent
10 a merger Of the progressive and re-
publican parties amour to the dissolu-
ton of the latter and the absorption of
its elements into the former. He is
credited with insisting on the retire
ment Of all the present managers of
the republican party and the accept
ance by that party of the entire pro-
gressive platform of last year. OF
course. that amounts 10 the replace
ment of the republican by the progress
sive party. The name republican"
might be saved. but nothing more. Mr..
Roosevelt is not said to stipulate for
his nomination In 1916. but that would
be a foregone conclusion under the
terms OF his merger. Robert Marion

100000. A new S1O,OO0,OOO merger of
mail order banking houses has been
formed. Wall street financiers, in
GLIDING the Morgan banking I'm, has
had charge of both these financial op-
erations. Still another mail order
house, with 63 acres of floor space,
made a net profit of s17,000,000 last
year.
1t is evident that the greedy eyes of
the great mail order financiers are
turned upon the entire retail business
Of the United States outside of the
great cities. 1t is also plain that a
gigantic trust is rapidly forming. The
small retail merchant is facing ruin.
That the grip of the octopus is al
ready being left is shown by the pop
ulation statistics. Nearly 1000 small

of 1910.

THE NINE oUrRAGEs.

The revelations Of the civil war
which has been carried on in the West
Virginia mine regions have shocked
the country which, while knowing that
harsh measures were being used, new
ertheless had but small idea of the ex-
tent of the outrages practiced by the
mine operators in that region with the
hope Of driving men to subsection. 1t
is a sordid story of the extent 10 which
men, driven mad by the greed for
money, will go in order 10 add TO their
wealth and gain the upper hand in
their war with labor. The story Of
greed has eliminated in story of bru-
tality and criminality.
According TO a writer on the Spring
field Register, who has knowledge of
the conditions in the coal mines Of
West Virginia as we'll as of the middle
west, II has been for years the prac-
tice Of mine operators of the Paint and
Cabin Greek sections OF West Virginia
TO pay the miners less per ton than
the operators of Ohio, Indiana and I'LL
nois had 10 pay their miners working
under the union scale of wages. The
additional advantages enjoyed By the
operators OF the war section is, it cost
them less to operate their mines in
the matter of fixed charges. The mines
Of that section have no shaft expenses,
and consequently can handle their
product at less cost. The openings OF
the mines are simply tunnels in the
hillsides. The coal does not have 10
be hauled and ho!sted, but is run out
on cars and dumped into waiting rail-

Oh, young Lochinvar came out of the
west
Through all the wide country his biplane
was best;
He swooped and he scared over meadow
and town,
And he dropped now and then little mes
sdses oo"H'
With a heart that was fearless, sans Jolt
and sans jar,
Over haystaoks and steeples rode young
Lochinvar.
Unhindered by brake and untroubled by
He few as al eagle might proudly have
flown;
But ere he alighted at Netherby gate
The bride had consented, unwilling to
wait.
A rich boy from Pittsburgh had come in
To marry the maiden who loved Lochin-
var.
So boldly he entered the Netherby hall.
For young Lochinvar was well furnished
with gall;
Then spoke the brides father, stout
millionaire:
Go back to Chicago and and some girl
there;
This Pittsbursaer's richer by far than
you are,
oO Dtdl It'll OtleT WOIOSJ git. AOcAln-
yar."
The bride threw kiss at the brave aero
naut
And in two seconds more in his arms
she was caught;
They danced round the room and they
kicked oyer chairs
And the young lady's mother came puff
fng downstairs.
The girl sweetly whispered: How hand
some you are"
And was Rugged there in public by young
Lochinyar.
One squeeze Of her hand and one word In
her ear
When they reached the hall door and the
passage was clear,
So out to his airship they lovingly sped:
They scrambled upon it, the wings were
outspread;
With a wrench Of a lever, a jerk at a
bar,
''sit tight and don't worry" quoth young
Lochinvar.
There was whrring OF wheel, over peb-
bles they ran,
Then rose in the air, the fair maid and
young man,
But the biplanc ran into a tall maple tree
And the lovers were spilled-it was
frightful to see!
The lady got of without even a scar,
But they sicked the bulldog onto young
Lochinvar.

mail order business. This tax would.
it is commended, tend to stop the ex-
pansion of the mail business, and to
reduce its present formidable size.
The money thus collected would be
spent for road building or other local
Improvements in the districts which
contributed to the mail order houses.
The small retail merchant is the
pop of distributed prosperity, and
the growth of the mail order trust
serves no common good. Here is {
principle which works out: IF you
spend your money where you get II,
you will be able to get it where you
spend it"
Through a systematic advertising
campaign, the mail order capitalists
have sought to poison the public mind
against the small merchant The
people have been told that there are
too many merchants, and that their
retail methods are wasteful and costly,
But l would point out the other side
of the question.
The Chicago vice investigation
showed that $4,000 women employees
Of mail order houses are existing on
starvation wages, many of them being
driven by poverty to lives of shame
The mail order houses are great dis
tributors of prison-made goods. They
are the exploi.ers of misfortune, buy.
ing much of their goods at bankrupt
sales.
But who takes an interest in local
affairs and has a hand in the upbuild
ing of communities? Whose goods are
assessed for the taxes to pay for local
improvement? Who, when the crops
have failed or the strike is on, anC
there is no cash to send away, ex
tends the credit which enables the
community TO live? The local .mer
chant and not the Wall street owned
mail order house.
We want cheapness, a lower cost OF
living; that is what we are all work
ing for. But we do not want it al
the expense of the women wage slaves
of Chicago and of the million small
merchants of this country.

THE FILMS TRIUMPHANT.

William A. Brady, the well known
play producer, declares motion pic
lures are closing theatres and have
already made the theatre business IN
profitable. He says motion pictures
lot only appeal TO the so-called class
es but are particularly pleasing to the
misses. He attributes the popularity
of the movies" to the high cost Of
living. The average person cannot
afford to go TO the theatre, but all can
afford to go to picture houses. The
New York Sun has this to say Of this
new amusement:
The Importance of moving pictures
in the world of amusements is shown
by the active participation of five well
known theatre magnates in their pro-
duction and distribution to the pub
lie. These men of the theatre are not,
Of course, interested in the cheaper
forms of this new amusement. The
banal photo play which may be view
ed for few cents is not a feature of
their business. The opinion of the
wise men who have turned their at
tention to this enterprise is that fu-
ture profits in this field will go to
the more pretentious and expensive
of the moving pictures.
Already a Broadway theatre an
nounces the Tooth performance of a
film play and souvenirs" are to be
distributed quite as if there had been
real actors and a spoken drama 1t
may not be true that the theatrical
companies will in the future be sent
over the country in a way like a box
of sardines carefully packed and not
distributed comfortably through par
lor cars. The triumph OF the films
will never be so complete, nor the
power of the actors personality so
slight. There is indeed a suggestion
from informed quarters that the tech
nique of the camera actors may after
while be altogether different from
that OF speaking players once there
has been sufficient experience of the
new dramatic field to develop such a
new method.
But. in the meantime, there has
been the inevitable advance which ev-
cry new form Of public amusement al
ways creates. The crude and sense
lcss productions Of the earlier days of
the moving pictures arc tolerated now
in only the most unpretentious houses.
There has been : steIdy demand for
better products and ills has been
met The expenditure of so much
capital has made it possible for the
best Of the actors and the most elab-
crate scenic effects to be put at the
service OF the film impressarios.
Whether or not The theatre mana
gers are wise to take an active part
in the production of what must be in
a sense competition for their theatres
will be decided in the future. Posi-
bly, they have followed the instinct
for imitation which is so large a part
OF their inspiration in every business.
