AMERICAN RAILS
 CONTINUE ACTIVE

London, December 19.-(Correcpondenc of the Associated Press)-Bad weather recently has reduced considerably the at tendance in the street. and consequently business has suffered. American rails continue the most active securities.
 Since the treasury is reported to have intimated that it would not advocate early reopening of the exchange, members are agitating for use of the exchange build ing for shelter from the bitter weather.
 The reopening of Wall street and the Paris bourse is being watched enviously. and the result of some weeks trading on these exchanges is expected to guide the committee and the treasury as to some sort of partial resumption in dealing hers.

BARRON IS ACQUITTED Held Not Guilty of Charge of Causing
 Wife's Death

At preliminary hearing held before Judge Cunningham Hickman of the court of common pleas, E. M. Baron was ac- quilted of a charge of murder in connec- ton with the death of his wife. The evi- dence was that Mrs. Barron died at local infirmary of pneumonia, and that she had been a sufferer from hemor- images of the lungs for sometime.
 The state sought to prove that the fatal illness was produced by a blow alleged to have been given by her husband. Barron denied all the allegations of the state, and in a statement said that his prosecution was due to i'll feeling due to disagreement over some property. Judge Hickman held that the state had failed to make out case of probable cause and released the defendant. Judge N. B. Feagin and w. N. McNetn represented Barron.

THE SIMPLE TRUTH.

During the eighteen years II has ad.
ministered State affairs the Republi.
can party of West Virginia was en-.
abled by its capacity for government
TO reduce the State tax from IS cents
90 ONE cent.
The Democrats seem to be greatly
agitated over the fact that the State
tax levy was increased to six cents in
1913. and from six cents to ten cents
in 1914. and charge the Republican
state administration with extrava.
gance. The cost of maintaining law
and order in the Kanawha coal field
in 1928 was about half a million dol
lars. while the additional levy in 1913
produced 100000. By the adoption OF
the prohibition amendment the State
loses about three-quarters Of a million
a year. The four-cent additional levy
about makes this up. The people of
the state approved this additional
levy BY $4,000 majority when they
voted to stamp out the liquor trafic.
This IL incontrovertible. Democratic
defamation cannot change Il.
