Brewers To Sue W. Va. For Loss OF
Profit.

Charleston, W. Va. February g.
The brewery interests of the state
have employed counsel to file suit
against the state of West Virginia for
damages aggregating hundreds of
thousands of dollars for the loss of
tn cir profits for the year since prohibi-
ton put them out of business. The
brewery interests have abandoned
their project to introduce bill in the
Legislature to have the state reimburse
them to the extent of $500, 900 for the
loss of profits.
The suits will be based on the allega-
ton that the Yost prohibition law put
the breweries out of business when the
state authorized them in their charter,
to continue business. The breweries,
it is said, continue to take back their
kegs and cases of bottles, carrying on
that portion of their business that is
not in violation of the Yost law, in
order TO make their case as strong as
possible.

YOUNG MINER DIES
FROM INJURIES
Albert MCCrobie of KitzmiIler Sue
cumbed in Cumberland Yesterday.

Albert McRobie, aged % years, died
at the Allegany Hospital, Cumberland,
at O'Clock Yesterday morning from
the result of injuries sustained last
Friday while at work in mine at
Blaine, W. Va. The young man was
taken to Cumberland Tuesday after
noon. The body was removed to the
Butler morgue, where it was prepared
for burial, and yesterday afternoon was
taken to Blaine over the Western Mary
land at 400 o'clock. The funeral will
take place Friday afternoon.
Mr.. McRobie was in the act of min
ing the coal when a rock, weighing
several tons, fell from the roof, strik-
ing him terrific blow and knocking
him to the ground. He was under the
rock forty minutes before he was ex-
tricated by fellow workmen. During
the time he was pinned under the
heavy boulder he never lost conscious
ness. After taking him from the mine
he was removed to his home and for
two days he suffered intense pain. 1t
was decided upon the advice of the
attending physician to take him to a
hospital. Upon examination at the
Cumberland hospital it was found that
he was injured internally.
He is survived by his sister, Miss
Bertha and a brother, Daniel, of
Blaine. His father and mother are
both dead. He was member of the
Knights of Pythias, Lodge No. n,
and Aerie No. IS, Fraternal Order of
Eagles, all of Blaine, w. Va. His
uncle, Arch McRobie, of Blaine, &C
companied the deceased to Cumberland

squirt and secured good lead in time to
win the most brilliant victory of the
season before an unusually large crowd
of spectators.
The ball was not in play two minutes
when it was plainly seen that the teams
were an equal match. The first half
ended II to u in favor of the visitors.
The Grafton boys came back IN the
second half and scored the first two
field goals. 1t was then that the
Collegians put up that desperate
struggle which won the game by a
good margin.
The pass work of the Y. M. c. A.
boys was the best seen on our floor for
some time and was only overcome by
the most strenuous efforts of the strong
Oakland defense.

for the visitors, each succeeded in max

good investment with the protection,
and the money paid for premiums is

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-08-22

A YOUNG man twenty-five years old,
~ with wife and two children, wants
to know if life insurance is good
investment for him, and, if so, what form
of policy is best. He earns $40 week,
and family living expenses are $50. To
answer this question in such a way that
criticism and be unassailable at every
point, it would be necessary to know
lot more about this man: whether he has
any money saved up; whether he or his
wife have relatives or friends ready to
lend him money; whether he is able to
invest his savings intelligently; whether
he soon expects to inherit property, ard
so on.
But, taking the facts as they appear,
there should not be the least hesitancy in
saying that life insurance is the best pos
sible investment that the world affords
this man. 1t is the safest, surest, and
most certain to attain the desired ends.
A man of twenty-five who is able to
make $40 week is fairly skilled in his
business or profession. 1t would be pity
for him not to transmute his skill into
money for the benefit of the three helpless
persons presumably dependent upon him.
There is no criticism to make of other in
yestments, such as a weekly deposit of
So in the savings bank, or of the purchase
of good bonds and stocks on the partial
payment plan, except the one objection:
namely, that such investments would
benefit his family practically not at all if
the young man should die in few months
or even few years.
If a man can have only one investment,
and especially if he has others dependent
upon his earnings, life insurance is always
the best. 1t comes first; it is most ele-
mentary and essential. The two COM
monest objections to life insurance are:
~ have to die to win; (2) can invest
