CONCEAL SMELLING
Of ARM FACTORY
Details Of the Last Zeppelin
Raid Not Made Public
By the British.

NEW YORK, July "a description
of the b~ombardment OF the northeast
coast of England by Zeppelins on the
night OF June Is, details OF which have
not been permitted by the British cen
sors to become public, was brought TO
New York by passengers aboard the
steamship Lapland, arriving from
Liverpool.
According to accounts Of the air
raid given by the Lapland's passen-
gers, the Z%eppelins, which raided the
northeast coast Of England were more
successful from a military standpoint
than any of the previous aerial war
craft which have flown over England,
as they did considerable damage 10
Palmer's foundry, a large machine
shop in Newcastle now used for a mu-
nitions factory.
The official reports, according to the
Lapland's passengers. cited that a ma
jority Of the deaths caused by the eX-
plosive bombs dropped by the raiders
took place in the munitions factory,
which also suffered grave material
damage.
The raid began at Grimsby, where
the highly important and valuable
docks at birmingham narrowly escaped
bombs. From Grimsley a course was
steered for Hull, but when Hull was
reached little attention apparently was
paid by the city. which had suffered
heavily from the previous visit OF Ger
man aircraft. The pilot, who evidently
knew the country well, led the Zeppe-
lin squadron then to Newcastle.
Running with double shifts day and
night. the munitions factory at New
castle was we'll lighted and offered a
fair target to the aircraft. One OF the
big Zeppelins seemed to hover, almost
stationary, over the munitions works
and rained down upon the factory a
quantity of explosive and incendiary
bombs.
How great the damage was, 1t was
said. has been withheld from the pub
lie. Only officials have been allowed
near the bombarded factory since.then.

large open interest in thus future and
that the shorts Will have trouble in

Iount Those who have become fright

there would be enough new wheat

OLD OFFICIALS TO
PRESIDE At RACES
Robert Strader and Fred
Upton VIII Be Here Again
During the Fair.

Announcement has just been made
by Secretary Scott OF the Fairmont
fair that Robert Strader and Fred Up
on will be the officials at the races
TO held here fair week.
Mr.. Strader was in the stand as pre-
siding Judge the first race meeting

is always repoicing among local fair

Mr.. Upton who has officiated here
many seasons He is one OF the best
starters in the country. From Fair
mont he usually goes TO the state fair
at Richmond, one Of the biggest tart
Ing propositions in the country.
Secretary Scott thinks the racing
here will be first class provided, OF
course, the weather is fit. Indications
are that large fields will enter the
stake events and this condition means
that the class racing will be OF the
best. Early reports from training
centers state that more than the usual
numbers of horses are being prepared
for the present "a and II IS be
!ieyed that Fairmont will get more
than her share OF these speeders.
Professor E. NJ. Sheets. head OF the
department OF animal h~usbandry at
the state university. will Judge the
Jerseys this summer. Assisting him
will be his head dairyman and others
from his department at Morgantown.
Even with this help it is said by Mr..
Sheets in a letter here that he does
not contemplate finishing the class IN
a single day.

PITTSBURGH, July 3.-Yesterday
morning there was a decided increase
IN the trading voluem on the Pitts
burgh stock exchange, but as the &C
tivity was mainly in a cheap mining
issue the value OF the business trans
acted was not large. Up TO midday the
demand for other shares than the low
priced one was trifing and no wide
changes in values we're made. After
midday the market was even duller
Ehan in the morning and very little
business was transacted.
Early dealings in the New York mar
ket were as heretofore restricted TO
a few Of the war order shares, several
railway issues, copper and a few spe-
cialties. In several instances opening
prices were above the previous close
but the gains were not held long. A
decline followed which the first hour
was recovered, and in some cases
early high prices were overtopped.
Outside selling pressure In market
has been very small recently and the
bear element has been trying to cover
but without much success.
