Two Legal Questions.

Upon two legal questions involved
In the case largely depends whether
or not A. Leo We'll, prominent Pitts
burg attorney and vice crusader, will
be brought to trial in the Kanawha
intermediate court on indictments re-
turned last February charging We'll
with attempted bribery of two mem
oers of the Public Service Commits
sion. Prosecuting Attorney Thomas
c. Townsend and former Representa-
tive S. B. Avis, represented the state
before The supreme court of appeals
and argued that the writ of prohibit
ton was not the proper remedy to
test the indictments. They insisted
that We'll was indicted for bribery UNI
der the laws of the state for attempt
ing to influence the opinion of two
public officers in the performance of
their official duties. Former Secre-
tary OF State Philander C. Knox paid
tribute to Attorney We'll in the open
ing of his argument to sustain the writ
OF prohibition. Knox declared that
We'll had committed no offense against
any law in his attempt to have set
aside an unlawful order which was de-
priving his client of property without
due process of law. He quoted an
opinion by Richard Olney when the
latter was secretary of state, in which
the latter advised government officials

pensation to witnesses to tell the

BILLION DOLLAR CREDIT
FOR EUROPEAN NATIONS
None of 1t Will Be Used for Mum.
tions All of Which Will Be
Paid for i'm Cash.

New York.-Men representing al
most three-quarters OF the worlds
wealth were in New York for a con.
ference that is expected to restore
the foreign exchange situation to a
stable basis.
Out of this meeting. which was
largely social will come to estab.
lishment of credits OF minimum of
$1,000, 100000, either by loan or in
some other form.
Conferences to consider the best
way of meeting the present foreign
exchange situation are not designed
to aid the allied nations in the pur-
chase of munitions of war: Those
have been provided for, and will con-
tinue to be paid for in cash.
The object is to establish credits
so that the normal exporters of the
United States, the wheat, oats and
corn men, cotton growers and all
other staple producers may export
their products not only to the coun-
tries at war, but to all other coun.
tries in the world able to receive sup.

Particular Sunset

Andy Rohan, the detective-lieuten.
ant, wit and good fellow, in his life
time originated many stories of his
quaint fellow-countrymen. He told
this one about his good friend, Car
ney:
"A visitor to the city was struck by
the beautiful sunset reflected on lake
Michigan. and as long as he bought
drinks. Carney listened to his rawlings
about the glories of nature. The
stranger went on in words of color
and elegant eloquence. but forgot to
buy another. Ah-you should have
seen that sunset he said, half clos

said Carney. You can't tell me any
thing about that sunset. The sun sets
only about mile from where live"

COVERING Cream Cans

A great part OF the value of keeping
cream cool on the farm and at the
station or creamery is lost IL the
cream is exposed to the direct rays of
the sun while being hauled from the
farm TO the poirt of sale. Far too
few people stop to realize the impor-
lance of covering their cream cans
when bringing them in to town. Elk
pensive jacketed cans are not a neces-
sity TO keep the cream cool. In sum-
mer weather just an ordinary piece
OF wet burlap thrown over the cans
Will keep the temperature of the cream
as much as 20 degrees below what t
would rise to If left uncovered while
being transported over the average
hauling distance.

Typhoid Grows Worse.

Typhoid Grows Worse.
Charleston is in the clutches of the
worst epidemic of typhoid fever it has
experienced in many years, according
to statement given out by Health Of
ficer A. l.. Aultz. Sixteen cases of the
disease were reported in August and
it is estimated that twice that number
are being treated and have not been
reported. There usually is an increase
in the number of typhoid cases at this
season of the year, but never in the
history of the health department has
the number mounted so high. Last
August only six cases were reported
There were five cases reported in
July, 1915. The cause of the alarming
spread of the disease is battling the
local health authorities. DR.. w. B.
Wilson, the city chemist, has sent to
Washington for a special culture me-
dia to test the city drinking water and
the milk sold in Charleston. The water
supply always has been regarded as
pure and it is not thought it could be
responsible for the epidemic. Milk
frequently is the cause of the spread
ing of infection and a rigid test of the
products of all dairies will be made
