ADMINISTRATION
WILL CONTINUE
FIGHT FOR BILL
Decided to Stand Behind Gore
Substitute Now Pending in
the Senate.
(BY ASSOCIATED PRESs.)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE ad-
ministration forces have been re-
formed to continue the fight over the
ship bill. At an early conference to-
day between the President, Senators
Fletcher and Simons and Representa-
tive Kithin, it was decided to stand
behind Senator Cores substitute for
the bill now pending in the senate.
The senate adjourned at 6 o'clock last
night until noon today, after pro-
tracted session extending over so
hours.
The Gore substitute contains pro-
visions for safeguarding neutrality in
the purchase of foreign ships and
other proposals, which it is said will
command support among the progress
sive republicans and probably some
of the insurgent democrats.
Under the new plan the present BILL
which drew out historic filibuster
will be buried in the committee and
the Gore substitute proposed for i'm.
mediate consideration.

AWAIT NEWS
FROM ITALY

Virginia Italians are becoming more
anxious daily concerning the fate of
their former townsmen and relatives
in the Avezzano district, which suf-
fered most from the recent earth
quake in which many families were
buried alive in the debris of their
fallen homes and business houses.
Their countrymen, from this city who
left shortly after the earthquake to
ascertain the fate Of their relatives
and friends have not yet been heard
from and little news has been receiv-
ed from Italy.
MANY Of US are becoming resigned
to the worst" Caesar Mondavi said
this morning. although it takes sew
eral days to get word from Italy many
local Italians are of the opinion that if
their friends and relatives were safe
they would have received word before
this time.

the gatherings in the town were held.
The first church services were held
there. The first show was held there.
It was an old-fashioned negro min
strel. The stage was improvised Of
rough boards and the. curtain was
bits Of calico strung on wire. When
the curtain went up two men pulled
it" from opposite sides of the stage.
The show wasn't so bad. They sang
the old fashioned southern melodies,
Bye, Bye, Ma Honey The Church
Across the Way Take Me to Your
Fields Again, Dear old Tennessee and
things like that. They danced the
buck and wing, the watermelon clog
and Jig steps we don't see any more
nowadays. They made the impromptu
stage rattle with their moonlight on
the levy stunts. Those were the good
old days. Virginia was in the center
Of great pine forest. Virginia and
Silver lakes teemed with fish. Deer

it defeats Grand Rapids it will have
an unbroken record Of victories for

H0MESTEADERS
ARRESTED FOR
KILLING MAN
Dismissed on Motion of Assist
ant County Edward Boyle for
Lack of Evidence-OWned
Only Remington Rifle in the
County About Payne.
Slain Man Shot With a Bullet
from Remington Rifle and
Empty Shell Was Found at
Spot Where Headlight Hunter
Is Supposed to have Stood.

William To1vinen and Victor Nei-
menen, homesteaders. arrested yes
terday at their homes near Payne by
Deputy Sheriffs Peter Wiring and An
drew NOLAN, suspected Of being the
headlight hunters responsible for the
accidental shooting Of James Foto-
polls, Greek section laborer at the
Great Northern section house at
Tudor, shortly after 8 o'clock Thurs
day night, We're dismissed without
formal arraignment by Assistant
County Attorney Boyle in the Virginia
municipal court this morning, after
Mr.. Boyle had convinced himself that
the evidence against them was not
sufficient to warrant their being held
to the grand jury on any charge.
The arrest of Torvinen and Neime-
nen yesterday was the elimination OF
a careful investigation made by the
deputy sheriffs. 1t apparently es-
tablished beyound doubt that Foto-
polls was killed by headlight hunters.
The bullet which cost him his life
entered and shattered the sash and
glass in window near which Foto
polls and several others were playing
cards, at an angle that indicated it
had been fired from the woods be-
low the section house and across the
tracks. Before the section house
stood string of ore cars. On the
other side of these was found small
tree which the bullet had pierced and
short distance from this was found
the spot where the headlight hunter
had stood. An empty Remington rifle
cartridge was found at this spot. When
the bullet had pierced the sash Of
the window it had stripped itself Of a
small brass jacket. This jacket with
the empty cartridge completed the
Identification Of the gun.
Torvinen and Neimenen are said to
own the only Remington rifle in the
vicinity of Payne. Both of them
denied they had been in the woods on
,, the night that Fotopolis was killed.
There was no evidence other than the
finding of the exploded Remington
rifle she'll and the fact that they owned
Remington rifle to connect them
with the shooting.

good as any on the Range in those
days. The first job was deed. There
wasn't sufficient material in the house
to set it all up at once. The deed had

SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS
Great Care Should Be Taken in selec-
ton Of the Most Substantial
Roofing Material.

II you were without preparation or
plan, rudely placed in a wilderness,
your first thought would be Of food
supply and your next of shelter for
these are the two most vital necessi-
ties OF mankind. It is therefore
natural that the best thought, and
study are put upon these two essen
tials.
More forward steps have been
taken in the building industry in the
past fifteen years. as regards comfort,
service and architectural beauty than
in the fifty years previous.
Only in recent years has the hand
ling of cement in building work been
understood properly, and progress is
still constantly being made with IT,.
Modern hotels and Office buildings
are being equipped with sheet metal
mouldings and steel veenered doors.
Nearly every important change in
building construction is away from
the fire hazard Of wood.
One of the most significant develop
ments OF recent years is the crushed
slate surfaced asphalt shingle which
is, on new construction and old, rapid
ly supplanting the wooden article.
There are many reasons for this. The
slate surfaced shingles add beauty to
any building-in fact, there is really
no comparison from an architectural
standpoint. Crushed slate Of pleasing
tints of red or green, is employed as a
surfacing. The shingles are uniform
ly eight inches wide and are exposed
four inches to the weather. No paint
ing is necessary as the red or green
crushed slate is natural and therefore
cannot fade.
The purchaser, however, should
guard himself against buying slate
surfaced shingle that is not guaran-
teed by a reliable and responsible
manufacturer. There are so many
kinds of roofing and shingles on the
market today each claiming to be the
best that II becomes necessary for the
buyer to get some satisfactory assur-
ance that the roofing or shingles are
represented honestly.
