PARkERsBURo DEC. Y
To Draft Measure Revisine syster,
Of Fees Allowed const,biss and
Justices Of the Peace.

A movement to revise the State
statute regarding the fees OF jus
tees OF the peace and constables Is
on foot. and a meeting of Justices OF
the peace OF the State will be held In
Parkersburg. December -. for the
purpose OF drafting a proposed meas.
ure which win be presented to the
legislature for enactment Justice
OF the Peace Lee r. Dobbs yesterday
received a letter from a prominent
justice OF Fairmont. expla ing the
movement. and urging him 10 attend
the meeting. which will be held in the
Chancellor hotel
Attention Is called to the fact that
the fees now fixed by law were made
by the legislature 80 years ago. and
the system Is badly in need OF re
vision. II is pointed out. for instance
that a constable receives 90 cents
for serving a warrant. and may have
10 travel many miles in performing
this duty. while the sheriff. for the
same duty. receives 75 cents. The
sheriff receives s1.0O for making an
arrest. while the constable receives
but GO cents for this work.
Squire Dobbs. and probably other
justices Of this section. will attend
the meeting.

DETROIT, Aug. 17.-Some little an xfetv is felt at the Detroit office ot the Maxwell Motor company concern ing the whereabouts of several of it's representatives,.
 Arnold Foerster, Maxwell represen- tative in Austria and captain of d cav airy troop in the Austrian army, has undoubtedly joined his troop as no communication has been received rom him in several days. MT. Foerster is thoroughly trained in army tactics, and has won several medals of honor in the service of his country.
 Another foreigner. whose patriotism has called him to his country's aid, is a Russian, Count Krysanowsky, one of the ablest men in the MaXwelfs for ergn field. Count Krysanowsky was last heard from in Paris on his way to Brussels He also holds a captaincy in the army of his fatherland, and without doubt has returned to Russia.
 Among the thousands of Americans, maroened on foreign soil, is Chas F. Redden, American sales manager of the Maxwell Motor company. MT. Red den has been abroad for several weeks past in the interest of his company. His itinerary has included most of the erge cities and has taken him into all the countries now involved in the war. When last heard from Mir. Redden was On his way to Berlin, and expected to go from there to London. It is the opinion at the Maxwell office, in De- troit. that MT. Redden has been forced to 0ncel all business engagements, and ix quietly waiting for the first oppor- tunity b return to this country.

HAYDEN

Albert Edans met with q serious accident here Friday afternoon while engaged in clustering the exterior of the tower of the new church. As he was removing one of the timbers from the top of the scaffold he lost his balance and fell to the ground, about twenty feet below, striking his head and dislocating his right wrist. His scalp was badly lacerated and the general shock quite serious. He was hurried to the hospital a few blocks distant and given the best at tention aNd it is thought that his re- covery will be speedy, except that his wrist will be out of service for some time to come.

NOVELTY RACE
 | IN LABOR OAY 1 MOTOR MEETING
Backward Race by Gerig and Davis Feature of the Freak Stunts-FOur Good Speed Events on Sunday Race Program

Much of the work or arranging the program for the Labor Day motorcycle race meet was concluded at last night s meeting of the club, when the novelty suggestions were made and discussed. Freak events of all sorts-limited Of course by common sense and the dlc- tates of conscience and the F. A. M. were placed on the list.
 A regular speed program of four events was announced, at the behest of the local dealers, who are prepar- ing to strip fast machines against the track trials.
 Among those who will enter the reg ular program are BoidO, Lane, Sellner. Crandall, Davis, Rudderow, Gerig, OConnell and possibly Imler. Pos sibly" Imler said he wouldn't enter any event for less than hundred miles and the committee declined to place an event of that length on the program.
 The events for speed will be the mile time trials. the five, ten and twenty-five mile races A relay or an Australian Pursuit may be added if there is time.
 Among the clever novelty stunts suggested last night were races for machines of 1909 or older. the 100 yard dash, the tandem race, the exhibition of fancy and trick riding. and the match race by Gerig and Davis for q side bet of five collar buttons. Gerig issued the challenge to any rider who would mount his machine facing the rear and scoot around the track. Davis took him up and secured a mount. Gerig was warned that h. must sign his entry backward, thus

 meet will go toward the expenses O

COPPER CLAIM CASE IS
 | SOMEWHAT COMPLICATED
After Patent Is Contested, Third Party Files Adverse Against
 Inspiration Prospects

Doubling the twists of law. and greatly adding to the complexity of things, P. C. Little. a Globe attor- ney, yesterday filed an adverse to the claim of Hector Haight and oth- CTS against mining patents of the h. spiration Extension Copper com pany. The case now stands on the list of the U. s. land office for hear iEg at a date not yet determined.
 The Inspiration Extension Copper company filed the original plats and surveys on such claims as the Cop per Crown, Tony Jr., Blue Prince. Sunday Discoverery. Lucky Dalmatia, Lucky Bill No. ?, Laurel, Cedar Tree and Copper Link.
 Haight, for his co-owners, l.. Pal lia and J. F.. Miner, contested the application for patent. And now comes Little and his clients. and further complicates things by filing the adverse. The issues of the case will be scrutinized with much inter- est by mining people.
