ASK WILSON TO
CHECK GAMBLERS.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.--Unless the
price of wheat drops, one Of the big
gest bakery concerns in the country
will raise the price of bread within a
week.
State Commissioner of Foods and
Markcts John J. Dillon has been con-
Quoting preliminary examination on
which to base possible inquiry by
the Attorney General
"The public may well keep in mind
the experience it had in the months of
August, September and October of
1914 in the panic attending the rise
in the price Of sugar" said Joseph
Hartigan, Commissioner of Weights
and Measures.
During those three months there
was frenzied demand for sugar
which forced the price far beyond
normal. Housewives laid in consid-
cradle quantities for the future.
Figures furnished by experts show
that while there is a great demand for
wheat and -four for export, neverthe-
less the supply left on hand to be car
ried over until the summer crop Of
1915 will be sufficient for the needs in
home consumption of wheat and
-four"
Commissioner Dillon sent the fol-
lowing telegram to President Wilson
last night:
"The bakers of this state complain
that they have been selling bread at a
loss for some time and unless relief
is possible within few days mater
ial increase in the price Of bread is in
evitable. Investigation by this depart
ment indicates that the principal
causes are outside jurisdiction of this
state. Speculation in future deliver
les by men who never intend to own
wheat has always worked loss to
the producer at an expense to the
consumer and seems clearly response
bic for the present situation.
The European demand does not
furnish sufficient excuse for the pres
ent condition. The people for the
state of New York would heartily APP
preciate recommendation to Con-
gress for enactment of Federal law
that would prohibit gambling in
. wheat and other food products"

STRIKE MAY BE PROLONGED.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb. g.
The strike of the miners at the Dry
Branch and Ronda coal mines of the
Coaiburg Galleries Co, which has
been in progress for more than a
week, may extend over period of
several months.
Both sides to the controversy are
obdurate, and do not seem willing to
make concessions in favor Of each
other. The question of screened and
unscreened coal being paid for is the
cause.
A conference was held here Satur-
day night between the commissioners
and officers of the United Mine Work.
ers and the Kanawha Coal Operators
Association, but it was unsuccessful
in SO far as an adjustment Of griev-
ances was concerned.

VALLEY RIVER HOME

Senator Carter Wants Its Waters

CHARLESTON, Feb 8.--To make
the Tygart's Valley river the home of
the black bass and the other members
Of the fnny tribe that once abounded
in that stream beautiful; to make the
pollution of the same such a serious
offense that the owners Of industries
a1ong its banks will go to painstaking
extremes to prevent such occurrences,
are the objects of bill introduced in
the senate today by Senator Carter.
Sentiment expressed at the time the
measure was introduced indicated
that it would have popular support
except from among those who will be
affected by the measure.
"The Tygart's Valley river is one
Of the natural bass streams Of West
Virginia, and it is such that can be
protected for years to COME" said
Senator Carter today. There are
not many industries along its banks

INVESTIGATING BLAST,
KILLING 81 COAL MINERS.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb. s.
Mine inspectors today announced that
after thorough search Of the Carlisle
Mine Of the New River Coal Co, 40
miles east of here, where an explo-
sion of gas occurred Saturday, the
total list of dead will remain at 81.
All of the bodies have been recovered
and identified,
The dead: Montague Thomas, Jack
Saunders, Jack Custer, Bayless Scar
brough, Andrew Garten, Fred Ersk-
inc, Albert Kopinski, Victor Comiski,
Frank Smith, Leo Vitochi, John Mai
kers, James Ora, William Gray,
Charles Herbert, Fred Panelli, Vinzey
johnson, Fred Solvay, Joe SADDLES,
Mike Sonneberg and Sam Solvay.
The first six named are Americans.
The miners bodies were found piled
in head in the section in which they
were working when the blast came,
showing that they had realized the
futility of making an effort to escape.
Only two Of the bodies were burned,
and it was evident that most Of the
men had been esphyxiated by The gas
fumes.
Remus Chandler, a negro miner,
escaped from the section in which the
explosion occurred His skull was
fractured and he was removed to a
miners hospital where he died Sum
day.
The cause of the explosion has not
yet been determined, although the
Chief Mine Inspector and his assist
ants heve been at the scene of the
catastrophe since Saturday.
The pocket Of gas and exposed
lamp theory seems to be well found
ed The mine bosses, however, went
through the mine shortly before the
men went to work Saturday and fail
ed to detect gas.
AS yet, the blame for the explosion
has not been placed on any one and
it is not believed it will be- 1t is said
that the New River Coal Co. has al
ways taken precaution to safeguard
employees. e

requested that the use of electric
lamps be adopted, and action soon
would have been taken in accordance
with this request.

damage was practically confined to

will be open for operation in few

polluting the water. My idea is to
have the Valley in such condition
as it can be pointed out as not only
the most beautiful river in West Vir,

so pure that the black bass and pick

The bill, which bears the title of a

CARTS Valley, the Buckhannon and the
Middle Fork rivers, makes it unlaw-
full to dump any sort of poisonous
liquors into the stream and fixes stern
penalties for such offenses.

Boston, April 1O.-The Red Sox are
standing pat on their last years team
with the expectation that the superior
condition of Iris Speaker will count
at the start of the race for the pen
nant.
This sprfnE. according to reports
from the South, Iris Is in excellent
trim. He has been hitting the bail
with ali the Old-time steam. The Red
So1 onense will he built around him.
The Boston pitching STAFF is not
in the best of condition. Joe Wood
has never been right since he was
operated on for appendicitis just be
fore the season opened last year. At
times this spring he has showed
flashes of his former smoke. but 1t is
uncertain what he can do in the way
of making a trail to the pennant. The
bulk of the pitching must be done. in
early season at least. by Dutch Leon
ard. George Foster. and Ray Collins.
The Red Sox have another advan-
taGe over the beginning of last seasOn
in having q regular first baseman,
HobIitzeI, who came to the Hub last
season from Cincinnati.
With him will work an infield to
whom he has become accustomed
Janvrin at second base Scott at short
and Gardner at third. The outfield Will
be the same high-grade galaxy that
has commanded admiration through
out the league for four or five years
Duffy Lewis in left field. Speaker in
center and Harry Hooper in right.
Behind the bat Manager CarriGan
will be the mainstay. with the vet
Grams Cady and Thomas relieving him.
The Red Sox record the coming
season Is up to the pitchers. So far
they have not given promise of being
pennant winners.

BROWNS TROUBLESOME
Rickey's Crowd Sure to Win
Many Ball Games and Up

By WILLIAM PEET.

Washington's American League ball
club inaugurates the 1915 season here
next Wednesday, opposing the New
York Yanks in command of Bill Dono-
van, former Detroit pitcher and Inter-
national League manager.
Against National League aggrega-
tions the past two weeks the Griffmen
witnessed these games have been able
TO get some sort of line on the pres
ent condition of the local club.
What Washington will do in the fight
for the American League pennant is
hard TO predict until the other clubs
have been met in at least one series.
Those Griffithian pitchers appear to
he there with the goods this spring
And A club must have strong pitchers
if il is to make any kind of show
ing in long season race.
Everything depends upon the work
Of johnson. Shaw. Engel. Ayers. Boehl-
ing. Harper. Bentley and Hopper at the
start. for the remainder of the club
does not appear to he in as good shape
as Griff usually has his boys at this
time of the year.
Unable to Announce Lineup.
The batting order OF the Nationals
for the opening game Wednesday is
told the writer that he could not an
nounce his lineup and would not know
until just before the game opened what
men would start.
Gandil. Morgan and Shanks are all
suffering from minor ailments. and there
is chance that Gandil and Shanks will
not be in shape to play for a week or
more
Gandirs throwing arm has stubbornIy
refused to yield to treatment and he
would be of little use If called upon 10
make quick fast peg over to third or
to the plate. 1t also bothers him while
at the bat
In case GandiI does not start on We'd
nesday Alva Williams will he called upon
TO play first base.
Morgan Out Of Game.
MORGAN was unable to get into the
lineup yesterday against the Boston
Braves. because he strained a muscle in
his groin. 1t is old injury and re-
quires complete rest. the only possible
remedy. Griffith believes Morgan will be
able 10 play Wednesday.
ShankS' legs are stIll giving him trou-
bic and il lie cannot open the season in
left field Pick will probably be on the
job. for Rondeau is also suffering from
a charley horse" and not yet in shape
TO do himself justice.
With these cripplos on his hands Mana
ger Griffith is not in a pleasant frame

flying start and with his pitching staff

other regulars would he fit subjects for
a hospital few days before the opening
Of the season.

in the various newspapers, the writer be-
