BoRAH SAYS WEST VIRGINIA
OFFICIALS VIOLATED LAW

Washington, Jan. 5.-That the
military authorities in West Virginia,
acting under the direction of the
governor during the Cabin Creek and
Paint Creek coal mine strike, super
ceded, all constitutional courts and
imposed sentences not authorized by
any standing law, is the declaration
made in a subcommittee report
made public by Senator Borah, a
member of the committee that con-
Quoted an investigation in West Vir-
ginia.
The report is not formally endors-
ed by the full senate committee, but
was given out as statement Of fact
prepared by Senator Borah. The
complete report has not yet been
prepared.
Senator Borah's statement briefly
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-01-05

reviewed the establishing of martial
law in the Cabin Creek and Paint
Creek districts for nearly a year, and
then declared that in the trial of in
dividuals arrested upon orders issued
by military authorities, and in as
sessing the punishments the court
before which they were tried deemed
itself bound alone by the orders of
the commander-in-chie the COVER
nor of the state, and in no respect
bound to observe the constitution of
the United States or the constitution
or the statutes of the state of West
Virginia relaive to the trial and pun
ishment of parties charged with
crime.
That a number of these parties
were sent to Jail and many to the
state penitentiary under sentence
from this court-martial as approved
by the governor.
That no threats of violence or use
of force was made or had against the
judges or the courts at any time dur
ing the existence of the disturbance
or the reign of martial law, but that
the officers of the county, after dec
laration of martial law, proceeded
upon the assumption that the feeling
and prejudice were so strong as to
prevent the operation of the civil
authorities, together with the further
belief that the declaration of martial
law had the effect of SuSpending and
multiplying all constitutional and
statutory rights of the accused.
SHIP SINKS IN STORM
New York, Jan. 5.-A steamer, be-
ieved to be an oil ship, which was
sinking yesterday afternoon in the
fierce storm which swept the Jersey
coast, is thought to have gone down
with a crew of at least 35 men.
Several vessels tried to reach the
ship during the night, but 1ifeboats
were dashed to pieces and the crews

but that city and rural delivery have
been added, thus doubling the guam
tity of service, while the quality of
service has nearly doubled. Further
than that, out of 16 principal nations
of the earth, the United States ranks
second in the number of units of mail
handled by each employee
The parcel post is here to stay.
1t will be expanded as fast as the
need is demonstrated. On Aug. Is we
reduced the rates and raised the
weight limit flor the first and second
zones) from II to 20 pounds.
"Now, effective Jan. 1, the weight
limit in the first and second zones
has been increased from 20 to so
pounds and in the remaining zones
from II to 20 pounds, and substantial
reduction in rates has been made for
all zones except the first and second,
already revised.
"The function of the postofice de-
partment is to serve the public-not
to make profits. 1t ought to be the
policy of the department not to be-
come revenue producer, but to alb
serb its surplus by reducing the cost
of service to the public, Increasing

RAILWAYS AND DOGS.
Alike In One Respect In Sardinia, That
Both Are Perils.

Alike In One Respect In Sardinia, Ths,
Both Are Perils.
Sardinia is IN island of many perils.
One OF them. we gather from the ex-
perience of Mr.. Crawford Fitch. the
author of Mediterranean Moods" is
the railways. The engine" he SAYS.
'is continually making frantic dashes
for the scenery. On the line TO To-toli
I made four journeys and had three
accidents. On one occasion. after a
car had been wrecked. the various en-
ployees gathered round the wreckage
and spent the remainder of n sultry
afternoon in bitterly disputing tho
proper apportionment OF blame for the
accident. As It was impossible to pro-
coed that evening / spent the night ar
the railway station and enjoyed a COM
fort that l found nowhere else in the
island"
Another peril is the dogs. who do
not hesitate TO attack stranger, even
when he IS walking peaceably upon
the highroad.- Tho breed is particu-
larry ferocious. and It is said that the
peasants have q way of stimulating
their ferocity by tying n bladder filed
with blood 10 the neck of n dummy
man and encouraging the animal 10
