MES Sending Telegram.

MoRGANTowN, July 1.-"I did no,
send such q telegram was the EN-.
phatic declaration Of Dr.. Thomas e,
Hodges today when asked as to the
truth Of report appearing IN West
Virginia papers to the effect that he
wired an expression Of his willing
ness to accept the Demomratic nomi-
nation for congressman-at-iarge on
the noon of the day that the conyen-
ton met In Parkersburg. The report
was nrst published in the Parkersburs
State Journal and since. then the
story, In various forms, has been go
ing the rounds OF the state papers.
When seen by newspaper reporter
at the university, President Hodges
absolutely refused to discuss the mo-
liucal situation although he most de-
cisively denied that he sent any tele-
gram of acceptance or had indicated
his willingness to accept the nomina-
ton. Further than that DR.. Hodges
would not discuss the matter, saying
that he was pressed with many uni-
versity AFFAIRS now and that he had
not reached any decision as to his
course of action.
however, It Is known that q stream
of letters and kilograms have been
pouring In on him, and that he Is in
correspondence with prominent mem.
bers of the Democratic party. Dr
Hodges has said that It Is his intention
to find out just how he happened tc
be- nominated before he makes any an.
nouncement as to his decision. I'm.
mediately after the convention Sen.
ator Zilliken OF Wellsburg came out
in an interview in which he declared
that the convention was bossed By
the Chilton-Watson, combine and thai
Dr.. Hodges was forced on the conven.
tion as machine candidate. Other
party leaders haye hastened to deny
Zflliken's charge, and many such mes.
sages have been sent to the nomine,
In an endeavor to correct the impres.
sion created by Senator Zilliken's In
tervfew.

SALOONS ALL GONE
OUT OF EXISTENCE
Transition of the State from the
"Wet" to the "Dry" COL
umn is Orderly.

WHEELING, July 1.-West Virginia
entered the column Of prohibition
states last midnight and today its
residents are trying to adjust them
selves to the new conditions imposed
by the Yost act, one OF the most dras-
tic prohibitory measures ever enacted
In the United States. "For rent"
signs in the windows of nearly 900
buildings throughout the state where
yesterday intoxicating liquors were
sold In abundance, give mute evidence
OF the change wrought by the new
law. Not liquor sign can be seen
in the cities. All the marks incident
to- licensed liquor dealers have dis
appeared as If by magic.
Voted out of business by a majority
of nearly 100000, the saloonists took
the inevitable good naturedly. Many
sold their businesses and left the
state. Others have turned to other
lines Of trade. OF the 1900 retail
and wholesale liquor establishments
In the state on June many had closed
their doors before the week began.
Only few kept open until the last
minute.
The transition was orderly. There
was no celebration although many
curious ones thronged the streets Of
the city. Five deaths due wholly or
in part to intoxicants were reported
yesterday from the southern part Of
the state.
Nearly one million dollars in reve-
nues are taken from the state. coun-
tiee, cities and towns. To meet this
deficit each district has evolved other
forms Of taxation,

DENSE VOLUMES OF FOG

WILLIAMSON, July MINERS
3rked with feverish energy today
agging u shaft into the working OF
mine No. Of the Sycamore Coal
/. Company in the hope Of releasing five
men who were cut OF when fire broke
out last midnight. It was realized
soon after the dawn that the hope
was forlorn but the men under the
direction Of a mine inspector con-
tinued to dig. Others forced their
way into the gas-illed galleries and
endeavored to choke the flames with
sand but they made little progress.
Dense volumes OF fog poured from
the openings and IT was feared the
ire was spreading rapidly.
The fire broke out in the fan
house and that structure was de-
stroyed. Alarmed by the failure OF
the air twenty-five men made their
way to, the surface but five were
caught in the entry. The nearest
rescue crew of the United States Bu-
reah Of Mines was located at Roam
oke. Va. and was expected to reach
here during the day.
The entombed miners, George
/. Seibold, James Collins, Benjamin
James, Henry Lyons and Marion
Lyons. were believed by Deputy Mine
Inspector Lambert to be in part OF
the mine not yet touched by the fire
He said they had probably been cut
of by the flames and had taken
refuge in room about 1000 feet
from the mouth. II they could live
during the day there was some hope
OF saving them, experienced miners
declared. Lines Of hose were run
into the mine entry and water was
kept playing on the flames while
seyenty-five miners were detailed for
work in the excavation. One hun
dred men were usually employed in
the mine at night but many of them
did not report last night.

Is CIarksburg by Z O'clock Last
Night and Would-be Cele-
orators Are FoiIed.

Clarksburg proper went "dry" be-
fore Z O'clock last night and the
crowd, some Of whom were out with
the intent Of celebrating the passing
OF the saloons, was foiled in their pur-
pose.
Only one saloon in the city proper
was open after noon yesterday and 1t
was packed to the doors throughout
most of the afternoon. It's stock was
exhausted shortly before o'clock and
the doors were closed. The crowd
then focked to Glen Elk only to find
everything as dry as a bone. One
saloon was found open in the East
End and this was the mecca for the
celebrating crowd. However, its stock
was also soon exhausted and they
were forced to close.
The passing of the saloon was
marked by lack OF disorders as had
been expected. Only nine arrests
were made by the police and there was
little or no disorder among the large
crowds that thl onged the streets up
to late hour.

from Sherman about year ago on a
charge of bootlegging. The man re-
ceived sentence of one year, but the
womans term was for two years. On
December II he was turned out hav-
ing served his entire time, less two
months OF for good behavior, and he
left for his home Immediately, On

COTTON SEED MEAL
As HUMAN FOOD
Or. c. S. Traps. State Chemist at the
A. & N. College, Strongly
Urges lts Use.

CO,tonseed meal as human food
is being urged by DR.. G. s. Traps,
State chemist and chemist to the eX.
pertinent station at the A. & NJ. Col.
lege. Cottonseed meal is urged as a
substitute, not for -four, but for meat,
providing the same elements neces.
sary for the proper support and de-
yelopment Of the human system as
does meat.
"Cottonseed meal -four is now being
used extensively in Texas, and in view
Of the high price Of meat and the gen
eral financial conditions of the people
of this State, this -four should come
into much wider use" says DR.
Traps. 1T Is palatable and il eaten
In the proper ration makes an excel
lent substitute for meat"
In continuing his discussion on the
use Of the cottonseed meal -four, DR..
Traps says:
in these times of high prices OF
food and decreasing income, It is we'll
to call the attention of people to the
possibility of cottonseed meal as a
human food. Cottonseed -four is now
being used In certain sections in the
State of Texas, and It has been used
In these sections for a number Of
years. In fact, one of the cottonseed
oil mills has invested considerable
money in expensive machinery for the
purpose OF producing cottonseed
flour of high quality. II is clear from
this that the possibilities of cotton
seed -four as a human food are such as
to encourage hardheaded business
men to the investment of money for
the purpose of its production, and the
demand for this kind of -four appears
to be such as to justify its production.
The subject is discussed fully In bull
letins 12S and 1853 of the Texas expert.
ment station, copies of which will be
sent free on application to the direc'
tor at College Station.
"Cottonseed cal must not be re,
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1914-12-22

garded as a substitute for -four. but
must BE- considered as a meat substi-
tute. And just as excessive consump-
ton Of meat may lead 10 injurious
consequences. SO excessive Consump.
ton Of cottonseed meal may lead to
similar results There is no reason,
however. to anticipate uniayorable re-
suits II the cottonseed meal is eaten
in reasonable quantities; and in view
Of the high price Of meat 1t Is espe.
cially desirable to find some substitute
for meat.
"Cottonseed meal may be easily
made up into palatable and wholesome
articles OF food by mixing II with
-four or corn meal or some other ce.
real It can be made into bread bis.
cults, hoecakes, corn cakes, mullins,
ginger snaps, other cakes and other
palatable forms Of food
In view, therefore, as stated In the
beginning Of this article Of the high
price OF meat and other human foods
and the low income OF some Of our
people, 1t would appear desirable that
their attention be directed to this
cheap substitute for meat"
