CHARLESTON. W. Va. March 10.
That adjournment Of the e1trAordt-
nary session OF the legislature. which
was called primarily tor the purpose
Of enacting revenue measures. viii be
taken not later than Saturday OF this
week, seemed evident. though wheth.
er or not IL would be possible to pass
suSh ollS was not so certain. at a late
nouT tonight Many persons is close
touch with the situation were optf.
mistic. however. and expressed the be-
lei that tomorrow will see a PROPOSE
tlon Tor solving the taxation problem
taking definite form.
The situation, which was tense
throughout the day. was in a some
Mhat chaotic condition tonight. That
the crisis will be reached by to-mor-
row was the general opinion BY to-
morrow. II is generally believed. IL
VIII be known whether or not IL will
De worth while TO continue the extra
ordinary session In an effort to pass

IN the Governors proclamation.
Will Get Together.
The opinion was widely expressed
tonight, however that the House and
Senate will get together tomorrow on
the proposition which already mas
been outlined in The inteilieencer.
that Is, by the House agreeing TO a
direct tax levy Of 10 cents and pass
ing the White bills increasing char
ter fees OF corporations. the Senate
VIII pass the Pierce bills taxing pipe
line companies for the transportation
OF natural gas and also a coal inspec-
tlon tax for maintenance OF the State
department OF mining. This PROPOSE
Ton would permit the restoration to
the general appropriation bill OF prac-
ucally all the vetoed items.
II seems certain that the Senate
VIII not pass the Pierce bill unless
the house agrees to a Eve cent direct
tax, while Il il generally believed that
the production tax bill affecting coal,
OIL and gas. does not have a chance
OF passing the Senate.
While the House today killed the
direct tax bill, IL can be reconsidered.
Even then, whether or not II will pass
the lower body. Is question of
doubt in many minds. as sentiment
against II has been overwhelming.
A motion made tomorrow 10 ad-
journ sine die would not come as a
surprise TO many persons. The Dem
ocratic senators today declared thav
VIII support suoh n motion. IL mas
been suggested that a resolution be-
introduced. recessing until either dur

Air Wing Of British Navy Makes
Another Attempt to Destroy
Submarine Base

LONDON, Feb. 16.-u1:5O p. m.}-
The air wing Of the British navy to-
day made another massed attack on
the German positions along the Eel
gian coast in an effort to destroy or
damage the submarine base at Zee
brugge. the guns at Ostend and
Middelkerke and the aerodrome at
Ghfstelles.
According to the official report
good results were attained. Forty ma
chimes were utilized.
While the British airmen we.e drop

tions and the supply rains, barges
ind trawlers used in mine laying and
mine sweeping or rations, eight
French airmen alto eaed the Ghistelles

-siimen from making an attempt to cut
of the British machines.
The official report makes no men

DISCUSS TfgE
S WILKELMINA
American Ambassador and British
Foreign Secretary in
Conference

LONDON. Feb. i6.-(8 p. m.)-Wni-
tar H. Pages. the British ambassador,
conferred today with Sir Edward
Grey, the British foreign secretary,
concerning the German note offerint,
to cease attacks on British ships II
Great Britain will permit foodstufFs
for the civilian population to enter
Germany.
s. Mr.. Page and Sir Edward also dis
cussed the steamer Wilhelmina load
ed with food for Germany. which Id
being held at Falmouth for prize
court and the status of which has not
yet been determined.
The British government has evi-
denced in many ways that II is unter-
rified BY threats OF attacks in shipping
and that 1t has no thought of making
any concessions to Germany, but on
the contrary. is preparing to tighten
the restrictions upon freight move
ments toward that country. State
ments in parliament also have indicat-
ed that 1t Is the determination OF
Great Britain to make reprisals II
Germany enforces her threat to de-
stroy merchant ships together with
.AS.S crews. II. 81
Should the efforts of the commits
sion for the relief of Belgium to buy
the cargo OF the Wilhelmina fail, the
evidence OF the owners that the food
is destined, to the civil population Of
Germany alone. probably would be
submitted to the prize court. 1t is
considered unlikely, however, that any
evidence could be produced which
would induce Great Britain to permit
the food to go to Germany without
tho action of any prize court.

the Investigations made. the assis
tance rendered. positions secured, ap-
plicatiOns for oTk. etc, we desire to
give In brief three or four typical
cases:
!. A colored family, consisting Of n
mother and small children, the oldest
Of which was nine years of age, and
whose husband was murdered year
ago, was called to our attention. Up
on investigation we found that the
sole dependence OF the family was the
labor of the mother and that she her
self was addicted to strong drink. We
went TO this home on Saturday uni
found that the FIVE children had not
had anything to eat except mOlasses
since the previous Wednesday. The
five children were sitting on the floor
eating molasses from tin plates. The
children had already turned an achen
color, thus indicating the extreme
lack Of sufficient nourishment. All
the children were bareooted and thin
ly clad.
2. A man with our small children,
the oldest Of which was six years and
the youngest one few months, ap-
piled to us for aid. The mother Of
the small children died last Decem-
Der and the man had been wandering
about from place to place since that
time. Some kind-hcarted people at
the Gluck Mill offered them food and
shelter temporarily, as a result of a
special appeal from us to the COM
r:unity through the local press q lib
eral response OF clothes, ETC.. was
given. We succeeded in placing the
man In Il good position and the chill
dren in q comfortable home
!. An old negro man 81 and his
wife So. After careful Investigation
we found that they had not had either
coal or wood for two weeks. This was
during one OF the recent cold and
rainy periods. They had actually hnrn-
ed ut least one bedstead and several
chairs in the attempt to keep warm.
The husband was practically blind
and their only means Of support for
several years has been the labor of
the wife. doning such odd Jobs as she
was able to find.
4. a negro woman with seven
children, whose husband abandoned
her several months ago, -was found In
most destitute circumstances. The
Oldest child was only ten years of age
and the youngest was only two weeks
old and the mother had been. since the
child was four days old, picking cot
ton and trying to get enough food to
keep the children from starving. All
hopes Of fire had been abandoned,
although the weather was very cold
and the rain was falling in torrents
We found that this woman had a
splendid reputation. that she was a
hard worker, but she was waging. q
losing battle against cold aud hunger.
We have investigated all told 1874
different cases and have rendered ns-
sfstance In la cases. AZ different in
dividuais have applied to us for work.
We have been able to locate IA posi-
tions only. We have given clothes to
81 different families. Ks
We w.. nto especially commend the
work OF ar. T. e. Smith ns special Of
ficidi to Investigate cases reported to
us.
OR work is by no means complet-
ed as we have a number of worthy
cases on our hands now.
Very respectfully submitted,
