MANY FLA WIS SEEN
IN Ell ECTION BILL
Now Pending in the Legislature
Some Features of Which
Are Severely Criticized.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. o.
Members Of Congress are much in
terested in the operation of the legis-
lativc mile at Charleston, their, high
est interest doubtless being in the pri-
mary; corrupt practices aud redis-
tricting bills. They have not a great
deal Of expectation that there will be
any redistricting done. As to the
other bills their comment is both crit
icai and various.
AT this distance they see many flaws
in both bills. The section of the pro:
posed corrupt practice act which at
tracts their attention and to. no small
degree stimulates their amusement is
that which, limits the expenses ot
candidates in the primary and at the
neral election. For example, the
provision that q candidate for con-
gresham or governor may. spend
$3.50 to county in the primary and
a like sum at the general election,
causes them to pause and ponder
That would mean that the state law
would allow .eacn district congress
man to spend $500 II he felt like il,
and had il 20 spend, and did not fear
getting entangled with the federal
laws which limit his campaign ex-
penses to $4,000 AS the law is read
here, should there be no redistricting
done at this session, and Howard
Sutherland would desire to continue
as congressman-at-large. the proposed
state law says to him that II is per-
fectly all right for him to spend
$3s.500 in an effort to get tae nomina-
tion and win the election. But Com
gresham Sutherland would know that
II was neither morally nor legally all
right, getting the latter knowledge
from the angle of the federal statute.
While this generosity is shown con-
gresslonal and gubernatorial candi-
dates, indefensible discrimination is
aimed at the great-to=he pitied candi-
dates for the United States Senate.
The state proposes TO permit them to
spend only si6.5o0 all told. Tae mems
bers Of the state delegation have had
a great-deal of fun joshing one an
other about this section OF the bill.

'O|SE CHECKS

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.--Among

armies against one another, the Disc

PIONEER STEEL MAN
AND CAPITALIST DEAD
Ream Succumbs in New York
City Following Operation
for Intestinal Trouble.

.
NEW YORK, Feb. Norman 3.
Ream, financier and director in many
banks and railroads, died here today
in a hospital.
Mr.. Rearn is understood TO have died
after an operation for intertinal
trouble from which he had suffered
tor some years. He was in his sew.
enty-tirst year.
Mr.. Ream was rated as one OF the
most prominent capitalists in the
United States and was particularly
we'll known in the West. where he be-
gan his career He was one OF the
directors and organizers OF the United
States Steel Corporation, director
OF the Baltimore and Ohio, the Erie,
the Pere Marquette, the Seaboard Air
Line. and other railroads and was a
member OF most of their executive
committees.
Mr.. Ream's career was typical OF
the the boy who begins life in humble
station and rises to wealth and dis
tlnction. He was born in Somerset
county, Pa, and as young man d.
vided his time between farm work
and teaching school. He served
through the Civil war and afterwards
became clerk in store in Harnets-
vile, Pa. In 1871 he went to Chicago
and became a livestock and grain
merchant
He was one OF the pioneers in the
organization of the steel industry
and was active in bringing together
the various western steel plants.
which formed the Federal Steel Com
pany. When this was absorbed by
tie United States Steel Corporation
Mr.. Ream became director of the
corporation. Meantime, he had ac-
quired large real estate interests in
Chicago and has since maintained an
active interest in financial affairs in
that city.
He was at the time of his death \
director of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society. the National Biscuit
Company, and the Metropolitan Trust
Company, of New York. OF late
years no had devoted much Of his at
tention to building up the Carolina.
Clinchtield and Ohio railroads IN
which he was a large stockholder.

WHILE RUSSIAN FORCES
ARE on OFFENSIVE AGAIN
On the Warsaw Front Accord
ing to Reports from Both
Berlin and Petrograd.
sAUsTR0- GERMAN REvERSEs
In the carpathians Claimed but
Russians Admit Retirement
at One Point.
sr As.oeAI,. ,,,.r

LONDON, Feb. 9-The furious
German attacks on the Warsaw front
are again at standstiIi according TO
reports received from both Berlin
and Petrograd; on the othe. hand
the Russian capital reports that on
each wing Of the eastern battle line
the Russian offensive has been re-
sumed.
An official Russian communication
claims that the Russians have made
progress on the Hungarian side Of
the western Carpathian ranges as
well as gained successes in the direc-
tion of Mezolaborcz. which resulted
in driving back the enemy with con-
siderable losses in guns and prison
ers
The Austro-G German army is said
to have met reyerses on the Galician
side Of the Uzsok and Beskid passes.
Balancing these Russian successes
are the Russian admission Of their
retirement before strong forces in
Bukowina and the Australian claim
OF having entered the town OF KIM
.polung in the crownland. In East
Prussia the fighting apparently is
assuming more desperate charac-
ter.
This may account for the lull on
the Warsaw front as the East Prus-
sian forces may have been reinforced
by some of Field Marshal Won Hnden-
burg's veterans.
The fighting on the western, front
has been taking its usual monotonous
course, with sporadic Infantry as
saults on the trenches to an accom-
paniment Of artillery firing.
The full text of the German block
ade proclamation published in Lon-
don today served as theme for
much comment in which the Lusi-
tania flag incident figured largely
Most Of the papers defended the use
OF the American flag in this emer-
gency. but some of them expressed
misgivings as TO the effect of this
course of action.

ITALY SELF.RELIANT in
ADVERSELY,

Italy's problem Of dealing with the
homeless and the suffering after the ter
rible earthquake visitation of Jan. ID,
last, appears to have been solved largely
BY itself, inasmuch as there was no gen
eral appeal to the world for assistance.
The case shoWs that Italy is fully ca
pable OF looking after her own people
in time Of catastrophe like this, and
the proof is especially convincing in view
Of the fact Italy already was carrying
no slight load in the mobilization and
equipping of troops and ships for event
ualities in the great war. The extent OF
the added burden imposed by the earth
quake is indicated by the fact that 3Ti
communes were damaged by the shaking
of the earth and approximately 10000
persons were killed outright, while the
number injured and distressed is not es-
timated In times past it has been cus
tomary to call on the world for eontri-
buttons in rebuilding the ruined build
ings and in feeding clothing and giving
medical attendance to the distressed;
but the demands Of the great war pre-
cluded the possibility Of such a call last
January, in consequence Of which Italy
went about solving her own problem, a
problem which she apparently has con-
summated in a reasonably satisfactory
manner Leastwise, we hear of no ire
mendous outcry for relief beyond that
afforded by the Italian government and
the people Of Italy, supplemented by
individual contributions from those in
other countries who were directly con.
cerned. Thus Italy has been proven self.
reliant.
