COMPANY ORGANIZED TO
COMPILE CITY DIRECTORIES
C. l.. Weymouth, Former Editor of
The Progressive Will Enter
Directory Field.

At Elkins last Saturday a COM
pany was organized for the purpose
of compiling city and county direc-
tories in this state as well as those
adjoining. G. l.. Weymouth who for
some time was editor and publisher
of The Progressive is. the general
manager and the company is to be
known as The Weymouth Directory
Company, with headquarters at Ell
kins.
1t will be the aim OF this new COM
pany to publish directories in those
cities not touched by the large
directory companies and in all pro-
pability the venture will prove sue
cessful as there are a number OF
cities in this state that require and
will support a proposition of this
kind.
Mr.. Weymouth is at Buckhannon
this week looking over the city with
view of compiling directory for
that place. He has just completed
printing and forwarding from this Of
flee to the bindery in Philadelphia q
directory in most every detail and
will be ready for delivery in about
week.

WAR CHIEFS TELL BRITAIN
THAT DRINK CRIPPLES
HER NAVY.

LONDON, May 2.-Here are some
of the unqualified statements made
by officers of the navy in white
Paper" on drink, issued tonight by
the Admiralty:
That drink is causing the men in
the shipyards, charged with making
the repairs necessary to keep the
fleet at sea, to do much less work
than they ever did in peace times, so
that in one case 1876 filters did only
as much work in week as twenty
eight men should have done.
That in one case work on the inner
bottom of ship was SO badly done,
presumably because the men who did
it were drunk, that it had to be con-
demned.
That in two cases the crews of
transports deserted in body.
That drunken firemen frequently
cannot keep up steam, endangering
the lives of thousands of soldiers.
That at any time the whole ship
building industry of the Clyde may
come to standstill.
That all this is due to the fact that
men can earn enough in three days
to keep them drunk the rest of the
week.

ovERCoMEs ALL HANDICAPs.

Prof. E. F. Show of Webster City,
who has been reelected county sup
erintendent of schools in Hamilton
county, is one of the most remark
able school men in Iowa. He has
no hands and yet is probably the best
penman in this part of the state.
Professor Snow lost his hands in
railway accident when he was but
% months old. He graduated from
the Webster City high school, and
has taught school all his life and
has already served two terms in the
county superintendent office. Be-
sides being really expert penman,
Professor Snow shaves himself eats
without assistance, dresses himself,
laces his shoes.Aafd even drives an
automobile. He has bsen unusually
successful as a school teacher and
has made fine record as county
superintendent.

HEADING PLANT
TO OPEN SOON
Large Contracts Usder Considera-
tion That Will Occupy Sew
eral Years Time.

ELKINS, May Contracts which
are under consideration, and have so
far advanced as to be practically
closed, it is stated, will assure the
reopening of the heading mill of the
keystone Manufacturing Company,
in South Elkins. This plant closed
down late last fall and has been
shipping out its finished products
since that time. Fifty men will be
employed at good wages and about
10000 feet of hardwoods used every
day. The contracts now nearing
contamination would keep the plant
running for period of several
years. The opening of this plant
would give a ready market for a
large amount of lumber as 100000
to 100000 feet would probably be
purchased and placed on the yards
at once.

A SHOWER.

A very pleasant surprise in the
form Of miscellaneous shower was
given Miss Louise Daniels at the
home of Mrs. NJ E. Dennis, on Ser
pell Avenue, Friday night, April 30,
1915. This gave Miss Daniels an OPP
portunity to announce her engage
ment to Mr.. William Layman of Fair
mont, w. Va.,-which, to the disap-
pointment of the guests, she did not
do. Nevertheless, it is generally I'M
derstood the happy event will take
place in the near future.
A number of interesting games
were played, one of which was a
sing contest-Romance Of a Shir-
wait-which was won by Miss. Dam
iels, and the prize proved to be a
basketful of presents useful to the
housewife. Amid much merriment
the bride-to-be, assisted by Mrs. A.
R. Parrish, opened her packages, af-
ter which the hostess served dainty
refreshments.
For the past five months Miss
Daniels has held the position of
stenographer for J. A. Viquesney,
State Game Warden, of this city.

DISCOVERING CORN MEAL.

The war in Europe is likely to
teach the Europeans the value of
corn meal as human food. The de-
saand for it has already boosted the
price of corn in the American mark
cts, and it is likely to boost it still
higher. This is unfortunate for the
domestic consumers of corn bread
and boiled mush, but there will be
compensations After the war, is
over the Europeans have eaten corn
will continue to eat it, and the fields
of waving corn on the American
farms will be transformed into gold
mines. The yellow kernels will CLINT
with the real luster of wealth. But
even though corn meal is dearer than
it was few weeks ago, it is still
cheaper than wheat flour. Necessity
may teach some Americans that they
can reduce the cost of living. even
now, by using more corn meal And
that will be another form in which
the compensation will manifest it
self.

BALTIC & OHIO is RE-
FUSED INJUNCTION.

CHARLESTON, May 3.-Justice
S. D. Littlepage in circuit court to-
day refused to grant an injunction
to the B. & o. railroad company
which was sought to prevent the
West Virginia Public Service Com
mission and other public Offices from
compelling the road to continue the
two cent passenger fares. The court
held the only recourse for the COM
pany was through the commission.
Justice Littlepage declared he would
enter contempt proceedings against
the road if it did not suspend the new
fare rate of two and one half cents
mile which went into effect last
Saturday.
The railroad sought an injunct-
ion against the attorney general Of
West Virginia and the prosecuting
attorneys of 33 counties as well as
the Public Service commission.

FLOYD TETER BEGINS
TO REBUILD BUILDING,

The Teter Building which has been
in a wrecked condition for nearly
five years is now being rebuilt. Floyd
Teter the owner, started to erect a
tremendous scaffold on the west side
or the building last week and today
this scaffold is nearly completed. 1t
is thought that it is to be used to
hold the material in the air after the
walls have been taken down to such
an extent that the building can be
tied and then the bricks replaced
Mr.. Teter has not made known his
intentions but from the wor,s going
on around the building it appears
that he is going to do something that
will put the building back in first
class shape The undertaking is a
big one but as Mr.. Teter is one of
those men who does things, and does
them right, there is little doubt but
what the building will be put back
aiilOst as good as new even at a
tremendous cost.
1t is evident that Mr.. Teter sees
something in sight for Belingtor in
the near future.

SHOT WAS FATAL
MURDERER ESCAPED.
A Former Citizen of Belington The
Victim.

Last Friday morning, April 80,
1915, General Ord Thompson, Chief
of-Police of Gassaway was fatally
shot by S. F. Rose, check forger
and desperate of the very worst
type. Chief Thompson was hurried
to a Charleston hospital but died
Friday evening while on the operat-
ing table. He was born March 20,
1871, age A years l month 10days.
The murderer escaped and up until
today is still at large. Rewards have
been offered and posse after posse
are on the trail. Nearly all the citi-
zens of Gassaway on Friday morning
were in search for the murderer. The
officials of Braxton County and other
Counties are busy in the search.
Mr.. Thompson, for a number of
years has been railroading, and a
short time ago received furlough to
accept the position as Chief-of-P Police.
Funeral services and burial took
place in Elkins Sunday afternoon,
where he formerly lived for number
of years. He was member of the
U. B. Church and Knight of Phythi-
as, which order performed the burial
rites at the grave.
Special trains from Gassaway and
Belington ran which carried his re-
latives and many friends to see for
the last time the mortal remains of
their father, husband, brother and
friend.
He leaves a wife, three sons and
one daughter, of Gassaway, three
brothers, S. D. of Moatsville, F. l..
and D. A. of Belington and two sis
tiers, Mrs. M. d. Gamer of Belington
and Mrs. Solomon Skidman of Graf
ton besides a number of friends in
Belington and elsewhere to mourn
the untimely death of one whose stay

RUSSIANS in FULL RETREAT
CONSOLIDATION OF BELING-
TON NEWSPAPER PLANTS.

Arrangements have been made
whereby the Thompson Printing
Company takes over two more Be-
lington newspapers. The Belington
Observer and Independent, these to-
gether with The Central Republican
which has been owned by them for
some time merge into "The Beling-
ton Progressive" thus making the
combined newspapers under one
name, one ownership and one man
agement.
The Progressive resumes its for
mer policies, and expects to become
bigger and better. 1t is expected
that The Progressive will become
one of the leading newspapers in
Central West Virginia The time is
near at hand when it will also be
among the daily papers. The loca-
ton of Belington is central and as
soon as the B. & N. is built in and
connected up, and the mines all
around begin to resume in full blast,
there is little doubt but what Be-
lington will have daily paper. The
support from it's local patrons will
largely determine the time for this
new venture.
BY the merging of all the Beling-
ton newspapers the Thompson Print
ing Company is installing the choice
machinery of the different plants
and by adding new machinery, type,
etc. the equipment becomes ideal for
job and newspaper work. There
will be some bargains to offer on the
machinery, type etc. that is not
needed, for the company expects to
sell to out-of-town purchasers all
this class of material.

Seems Certain That Italy and
China will Be Drawn
Into War.

LONDON, May 5.-The Russians
are in full retreat from Hungary,
with the Austro- Germans in close
pursuit, according to an official an
nouncement made in Vienna late to-
day. Berlin reports further gains in
Flanders. The British are said to be
in retreat and suffering heavily. Sir
John French in his message to the
British war office, admits that the
Germans gained foothold on Hill
No. 46, southeast of Ypres, under
cover Of the use of poisonous gases.
Contradictory reports continue to
come from the Dardanelles. The
Turkish official reports reaffirms that
the allies are making no progress
in their occupation of the Gallipoli
peninsula.
Italian developments and the Chi
nese-Japanese situation are being
closely watched. It seems certain
that both Italy and China will be
brought into the war. Dispatches
from Pekin claim general moboli-
cation is imminent. Count Jolucho-
wski is due in Rome today on spe-
cial mission for the Austrian govern
ment and is expected to deliver a
clear statement of Austria's inten-
tions.
While official Petrograd is trying
to treat matters in Galicia with more
or less uncertainty, private dispat-
ches state that battle of enormous
proportions is being fought.
Reports that the Russians army
operating in the Carpathians is in
adequately supplied comes from Ber-
lin.

MRS. BAILEY WAS
KILLED IN DAYLIGHT.
New Evidence is brought Out by
Prosecution in Carman
Trial.

Mineola, May 5y-District Attor-
ney Smith lost no time today in plac-
ing on thestand the states new wit
nesses in the second trial Of Mrs.
Florence Carman, on the charge Of
Staying Mrs. Louis Bailey at DIR.
Carman's office in Freeport June 30,
asst
Mrs. May I. Black, the first Of
these witnesses, testified that, while
sitting on her porch, just east OF the
Carman home, she heard the sound
of an explosion and falling glass.
She walked soon afterwards with
her daughter, Ruth, out on her lawn
and stood opposite the window OF
DR.. Carman's Office. She saw man
-one she could not identify she was
certain-outside the house at the
window.
She did not see any one run from
the grounds. The man went leisure
ly the front of the house and out Of
her view.
1t was shortly before eight o'clock
and daylight when this happened,
Mrs. Black said:
The admission Of this evidence
was fought by Mrs. Carman's law
yers, who contended that the shoot
ing occurred after nightfall, and that
the assilant escaped in the dark.
Walter Cozzens, clerk of the Free
port police station testified that it
was nine O'Clock when DR.. Carman
called him on the phone and noti-
fed him of the shooting.
/ District Attorney Smith expected
to present his entire case today
The defense awaited the produc-
ton of the new witness by whom
the prosecution hoped to prove that
Mrs. Bailey was killed in day light
instead of after dark, as had been
contended in the first trial.
This was the only new feature
promised by the state.
Evening sessions of the court may
be ordered so as to end the case by
Saturday. The district attorney did
rot av~ect to conclude the evidence
for the prosecution today
1t was late yesterday afternoon
when the jury was completed, but
District Attorney Lewis J. Smith,
made his opening address to the
jurors.
During Mr.. Smiths brief address,
Mrs. Carman sat unmoved except to
give start as if surprised, when he
said:
Sand we will show that Mrs. Bail
ey was killed in daylight"
| All of the jurors are married ex-
cept one. who is a widower. All are
more than 35 years old.
/ From their examination, it was
| indicated that the defense will be
that a tramp fired the shot and in.
tended it for DR.. Carman, but thai
the bullet hit Mrs. Bailey as she was
leaving the physicians office.
