MILL CAPACITY HALTS

Some Producers Could Get Or

rush. In consequence. all OF the large

being pushed as close to full capacity
as II IL possible to run them. still 1t
is impossible to meet the pressing re-
quircmepts Of consumers.
OF course, some of the departments
are running much more actively than are
others. The plants being pushed espe-
cislly for deliveries are the bar and wire
mills. Actual sales. however, are not
running so heavily ms the September
average. This Is because few Of the
mills have any capacity left for this
years shipment.
Some OF the steel companies report
that they could sell double their present
capacity for delivery over the last
quarter Of the year II they were in posi-
ton to take the business. Heavy trans
| actions have been made for 1916, but
an enormous tonnage is still held in
allegiance.
The demand for high speed steel is
most pressing for both domestic ship
ment and for export. but the sup

All that has been written in levity

not had the effect of preventing it
from being today not only one of the

but one of the most prosperous.
With it's jails turned into graneries,
its asylums almost deserted and pros
perity Astounding everywhere with
the material welfare provided for, the
state has turned its attention to the
aid of the less fortunate.

HATFIELD ASKS

Conference on Issues Now in Bills
Is Suggested by Governor.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan.29.-
The appointment of a committee of
three members from each house to
confer with him on questions now
pending in the Legislature, pertaining
to the Virginia debt and other sub
jects, was urged by Governor Hat
field in a special message read this
morning.
Both branches voted to comply
with the message and it is probable
the committees will be named today.
In his message the executive init
mated that it is his desire to guard
against unnecessary publicity in the
consideration of the debt questions
Senate Bill No. 70, embodying
drastic amendments to the Yost pro-
hibition law, was passed by the house

trunk. In it was about five gallons
of whiskey packed about with bread.
The persons to whom the trunk be-
longed having proceeded on the early
morning train to Newton, Mr.. Tenney
allowed the trunk to follow on the
noon train. He then telephoned the
prosecuting attorney of Upshur coun-
ty to have warrants issued and to
send an officer to Newton on the same
train, in order to arrest the owners
when they appeared to claim the
trunk and whiskey. Clarksburg Ex-
ponent.
The trunk referred to in the above
article, arrived at Buckhannon Mon
day morning. A warrant was sworn
out before Squire James Daily, and
Sheriff Zickefoose followed the bag
gage to it's destination for the pur-
pose of arresting the owners, but no
one appeared to take up the trunk
and not until Tuesday morning did
the alleged owner appear, and to the
sheriff's establishment the party hap
pened to be an Austrian woman, who
was promptly arrested. When the
trunk was opened it was found to
contain four gallons and three quarts
of liquor packed about with bread, as
given in the Exponent article. The
Austrian woman. giving her name as
Mrs. Taregis Spaegie with her ex-
press was brought to this city by the
sheriff where a preliminary hearing
was had and the prisoner held to a.
wait the action of the grand jury at
the March term of the Circuit Court
for violation of the Yost law. In the
preliminary examination it was
brought out that the woman had gone
to Uniontown on last Friday and filled
the trunk with apples which she said
she gave to friend in the Pennsyl-
vania city, but it is thought that the
fruit was packed in the trunk to keep
down suspicion of railroad officials
who handled the trunk both going and
coming. The woman was employed
in an Austrian camp as cook, and she
is the mother of five children, all of
whom were left behind when the ar
rest was made.-Upshur Republican.

THE CAMBRIDGE PLAYERS.
Delightfully."- Entertain Good
Audience.

The Cambridge Players appearing
under the auspices of the Belington
Lyceum League, Wednesday evening,
rendered decidingly pleasing pro-
gram. Mr.. Golfer, Miss Miller and
Miss Fountain featured in "The
Twelve Pound Look" by J. M. Barrie
Mr. Golfer, Miss Miller and Mr. Colby
presented the different characters in
Hamlet" by Shakespeare. "My
Milliner's Bill' was presented by
Miss Miller and Mr.. Golfer.
Between each play delightful mus
ical selections were rendered by che
players, and the manner in which the
music, comedy, and dramatic numbers
were delivered proved to the audience
showed that The Cambridge Players
are distinct artists in their line.
The High School Auditorium was
filled to full seating capacity with the
result that there was not disap-
pointed person present, as far as can
be determined.
The next number on the Seasons
course is Denton G. Crowl, reproduc-
ing Sam Jones' Lectures, which will
be held Feb. 18th in the High School

A CORRECTION.

In last weeks issue of the Progress
sive there appeared an article to the
effect that the U. B. Church would
have a pie social. Our attention was
called to the matter and we found
that the notice had come to the office
from Weaver with the letter from
our regular correspondent, but in
making up the paper the article got
eparated from the Weaver letter on
account of having head on it. We
are very sorry indeed that the mis-
take occurred and if an apology will
suffice to our friends of the church
here, we freely offer it.

LACK OF CAPITAL FORCE w.
VA. COAL CO.'S TO THE WALL

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 29.-Cred-
itors' petitions asking receivers were
filed late yesterday in the United
States district court against two
coal companies with joint capital
ization of $650,0OO, and against the
president of both as an individual.
The companies are the East Grafton
Coal and Coke company, capitalized
at S150,000, and the Triona Coal and
Coke company, capitalized at $780,
900. The other petition is against
Charles w. Scrimshaw, president of
both companies.
The Coal companies are both West
Virginia corporations, but have offices
in Cleveland The companies own
about 700 acres of coal land near
Grafton, w. Va. Lack of capital to
fully develop the property is declared
to have caused financial trouble.
