Last spring an indictment was re-
turned against the two brothers by the
grand jury charging them with con-
spiracy TO conceal assets amounting
to about 81 200.
The case had been brewing for about
three years and was one OF the longest
criminal s tried here for ONE

nearly q hundred witnesses and vol
luminous exhibits. The case was pro.
secuted by United States District At

Charleston, w. Va, Jan. S.-The
coal operators of West Virginia are
going down into their pockets to
finance campaign for hte educa-
ton and social advancement of
miners and mine laborers.
Dean Jones, of the School of
Mines at the State University, an
nounced that he had prepared these
plans for mine extension work, and
ne called attention to the fact
that already a great deal of work
had been done by the operators "a
,ong this line.
John Laing, former Chief of the
state Department of Mines ex-
planning this work, took occasion to
remark on the advancement in meth
DDS for the preservation of human
life, increase in sanitation and the
5etterment OF social conditions,
"Clergymen of all creeds, wheth-
err for white or colored people, "
said Mr.. Laing, ARE being engaged
as the clergymen take up their
work they are allowed a free hand,
and their influence is beginning to
show itself, particularly with the
children of the various mining COM
munities. This practice of employ
ing clergymen is becoming general
in the state.
In addition to this the number
of Young Mems Christian Associa-
lions is increasing. Wherever there
are Y. M. C. A, buildings, and all
OF them have been erected at the
expense of the company, they are
community centers. All of them have
swimming pools and baths, free
reading rooms, lecture rooms, sym
nasia, pool and billiard tables, and
bowling alleys.
"A fee of from one to five dollars
year is charged and wherever IN
Association is found in mining
communities nearly all the male
portion of the population will be
found on the membership roll SO
pleased are the operators, who have
helped organize these Y. M. G. AS.
at the good accomplished, that they
lost no opportunity to show other
operators what can .sbe done along
this line. 1t may be said that with
in the next five years Y. NJ. G. A,
buildings will be found in all min
ing camps in the state.

where's Mother.

When father came from work at
night,
Before he wash his hands and
face,
Or hang his hat upon the peg,
His glance would wander round
the place,
And If dear mothers sunny head
Was not within his visions ken,
He'd search for her from room TO
room,
Upstairs and down and all, and
then
He'd stop and ask,
where's mother?"
But If he found her in her chair
He'd potter off about the lot,
And pick mess of early greens,
Or fix chicken for the pot;
He'd mend fence or set hen,
Or do some other homely chore,
With only now and then a glance
Toward the half open kitchen
door
That seemed to ask
where's mother?"
When mother left us Borrowing
He followed her within day;
And while we laid white flowers
around
His smooth-brushed hair as white
as they,
We could but think that when the
light
And beauty of that wondrous place
Burst on his newly-quickened gaze,
He must have raised an eager fac
And simply asked;
Where's mother?"
