TERROR OF NOTE IS FIRM
What Action Will Be Taken
In Case Of Further Trou-
BILE Is Not Stated.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The new
American note to Germany Is on It's
way to Berlin. 1t went from Washing
ton over the telegraph wires during
the night and today was being fash'
ed over cables 10 London and thence
to Copenhagen. where it goes over,
land again to the German foreign OIL
ice.
It should reach its destination TO-
night or early tomorrow. The note
probably will be made public by mu'
lual agreement with the Berlin foreign
office tomorrow or Saturday and then
will follow a period OF waiting until
J reply is received.
Concerning the future conduct o!
German submarines, the note does no'
necessarily cali for an answer as II
announces the intention OF the Uni
ted States to regard any further Vio
iation OF international law resulting IN
loss OF the American lives, as un
friendly.
The American note is in the nature
Of a final statement on principles IN
rolyed in which the United States
takes the unalterable position that the
accepted rules OF international law
must govern the rights Of neutrals n
respective Of retalitory measures OF
beligerents against one another.
What action would be taken by the
limited States in event OF further Tio
lation Of American rights is not Gus
closed In the new note nor was II OF
ficially commented on otherwise 10
day, but a general understanding pre-
yails that another disaster such as
befell the Lusitania would mean the
assembling OF congress. President
wilson has given careful considera
lion to eventualities TO which the new
American note may commit the Uni
ted States, and he believes it places
s6uarely on Germany the responsiolil
~ for any act that may cause a rup'
ture. go,

RECORD OUTPUT
At FEDERAL MINE
Company Installs Big Filter
and Makes Many Other
Improvements.

The Federal Coal and Coke Com
pany is making extensive improve.
ments at its mine at Grant Town and
there is an air of activity around the
mine that is good to behold. One OF
the big improvements under way at
the present time is the installation OF
$4,000 gallon per hour filter, which
softens and purities the water. This
will be great benefit and the work on
the proposition is being rushed
through in order-that the good benefits
of this improvement may be had as
soon as possible.
The high grade gas coal which is
taken from this mine is used exteu'
sively in bi-porduct ovens Of the New
England States and has given satisfaC.
ton wherever 1t has been given a
chance to show It's worth. A produc.
tion record was broken at the mine in
June, when over 10000 tons OF coal
was produced. This exceedingly high
output mark could have been bettereG
had 1t not ben for the fact that there
was q shortage Of men, which limited
the production to some extent.
The mine at Grant Town needs more
emn, and there is an excellent oppor.
tunity offered theer for men out OF
work to get busy. Grant Town is an
exceptionally good place 10 work. High
wages are paid to those employed by
the company. while. the houses are
modern and up-to-date in every re
spect. The living conditions in Grant
Town for the average wage Garner are
most auspicious.
The main Office of the Federal Coal
and Coke Company is at Boston. and
the Grant Town mine is one Of their
many enterprises. ]. ". Davidson is
general superintendent and Robert
Grant. OF Boston, is the president Of
the company.

TROOPS ARE REQUESTED
Heavy Rain Storm Stops
Battle, Driving the Mob
To Cover.

NEW YORK, July 22.-Two men
were shot today in a riot which broke
out in front OF the plant OF the Tide
Water Oil Company in Bayonne. y. j..
where several thousand oil workers
had been on strike against the Stan
dard Oil Company.
The two wounded men are Toney
Vednank and John Saginiski. They
were said TO have been shot by com.
pany guards during an attack made
by large crowd on the 1Idewater
plant. The fighting was still in pro-
greSs shortly after o'clock.
Hundreds Of strikers gathered early
on the streets of Bayonne and then
moved toward the plant Of the Stan
dard Oil Company here. A small fire
broke out in the watchman'S house in.
side the oil company's yards. 1t was
quickly extinguished. The crowd al
so surrounded the works of the Tide
Water Company. which closed its
plant yesterday in order to avoid trou-
BILE. Disorder developed and in the
fight the guards drew their revolvers
and fred into the crowd. Two men
fell and their companions hurried
them away to the drug store.
Shortly before noon after several
hours of comparative peace crowd
OF 500 assembled near the barrel
works OF the Tide Water Oil Company
and attacked the guard.
Sticks. stones and revolvers we're
used and the guards replied with
Winchesters. During the fighting fire
broke out in the corner OF the barrel
yard where slaves and other lumber
are stored
Sheriff Kinkeal. who had previously
addressed a large crowd Of strikers
in the streets. warning them to keep
peace. rushed to the scene OF the new
attack and ordered the rioters to de-
sist and withdraw. He was greeted
with howls OF derision and the attack
continued.
Two men were killed and three
wounded by Tide Water guards. A
heavy rain storm came up at the time
and helped to drive the rioters under
cover.

Juggled Figures Published
In Many Newspapers
Misleading.
(RY |. M. oAvIs.)

That we have census takers and cen
sus tinkers is shown by the misleading
reports that have been given general
circulation as TO the population ol
FairmOnt in 1915.
OF course these reports are not made
by actual count, as the census is taken
each ten years, but are merly estl
mates based upon certain percentages
of increase. They cannot be reliable
or accurate, but in many instances the
actual growth of cities is very closely
kept up with. The injustice that has
been done Fairmont was perhaps on
account OF an oversight In making these
guesses.
No account was tken of the extra
territory taken into the city in 1913
by the Greater Fairmont Charter
which added approximately 5000 peO
pie TO the city. The census thinkers
made their estimate from the 1910 fg
ures, which only took into considera
ton the old city limits. and even on
that basis they have cheated the city
out otabout 1000 in population.
In 1900 Fairmont had a population
OF 5,655. and in 1910 it had risen TO
9,711, showing an increase for the ten
year period OF 1866, or a gain OF u
per cent. Figuring the same percent
age Of gain for the five years since the
census was taken. and not taking into
consideration the added territory, the
increase would have been 3.447 instead
OF the :, ,139 the census tinkers used In
their estimate for 1915.
In August, 1913, an accurate census
was taken, including the enlarged

skating for it.
Perhaps skating is a mild descrip-

held the first of its afternoons OF
skating to aid the French soldiers.
Even a Charlotte could have been proud
Of some Of the feats performed by the
men and the short-skirted and high
eolored girls who filed the rink The
gathering was not restricted TO debu-
tantes. Some fathers and mothers
came TO skate, more to look on.
Some 400 members Of the SecOurs
Rationale and their guests yesterday
filed the rink and the Longing and
tearooms which have supplanted the
Riltmore Cascades. Next TO the ltal-
ian Gardens, which look chilly under a
covering Of snow, there is now a little
house surrounded by fir trees, where
the orchestra, beneath japanese Ian
terms, plays for the Waiting skaters.
At the other end o. :he rink, which is
an oval about 30 by 70 feet, is an in
closed room with an ouen fireplace,
where tea is served and from which
the less venturcsome watch the skat-
ers outside.
For a newly revived art skating has
made its way with great speed. Only
one or two spills added excitement TO
the afternoon. II there were unsteady
skaters there they kept 20 the side

After the vote was taken the contest
apparently was forgotten and all sides
went to work on campaign plans. Each
of the four cities had its check ready
and before the ballot was taken Char
man Hilles held paper worth S4OO,OOO,
All was returned except the Sloo'ooo

The committee officially took no cog

lobby Of the hotel was well filled with
Republicans who have been mentioned
AS Presidential possibilities and their
supporters.
About 600 Of the 9S5 delegates to the
convention are TO be chosen at pr
maries. and by the time most Of these
elections are held the leaders expect
to have a good line on what the differ
emit states think Of candidates.
The Republican fight, gossip goes to-
day. will be waged on few plain prln-
ciples-defence Of American commerce
and industry and defence Of American
lives. One of the points OF attack VIII
be that the Democratic party IN Con-

change their attitude.

SUFFRAGE LOBBY
CRY IS RAISED
Byrnes Wants Investigation of
How WOmen'S $4,000
Fund Is Spent.

Washington, Dec. 14-Tired Of so
many women parading through the cor
rdors of the Capitol that "they looked
like the streets in the shopping dis
trict during the millinery opening sea-
son." Representative James F. Byrnes,
of South Carolina, proposed to-day an
investigation Of the suffrage lobby"
as ne termed II. Abiding to the re-
port that the suffragists had raised a
fund of $4,000 in behalf of the Susan
B. Anthony amendment, the South
Carolinisn demanded that the House in
vestigate how this money is being
spent.
zone Of the arguments in favor of
equal suffrage" said the statement is
sr2d by Mr.. Byrnes, "has been that 1t
would tend to purify politics, and
among other things stop the use of
money for the purpose of influencing
legislative bodies and the electorate.
ain view of this contention of the
advocates of equal suffrage it is but
fair to them TO have the House investi-
gate and ascertain whether it is true
that more than $4,000 has been raised
and many more thousands are to be
raised, to influence the action Of Con-
gress upon the suffrage movement"
Mr.. Byrnes said it was not TO be pre-
sumed that the $4,000 was to be spent
for literature, and that if any of the
money went TO employ agents to lobby
Congress ought TO know 1t. He con-
tinued:
"The time of members is being taken
up by women who visit their Offices and
lobby for this amendment, and Con-
gress is entitled 10 know whether they
are paid agents or volunteers in the
service. When the Mulhall investiga-
ton was ordered there was much less
evidence Of lobbying and buttonholing
of Congressman in the interest of tariff
legislation than there is to-day in the
interest Of the suffrage amendment.
at is true that a blacklist of Con-
gressmen was prepared by the Manu-
facturers' Association for the supposed
purpose of intimidating Congressman,
but it is reported that this is also being
done by the Congressional Union, and
an investigation will disclose whether
the money being raised is 70 be used for
such a purpose. Even if this money
be used legitimately, it is unfair for
the country to receive the impression
that the advocates of the suffrage, hav-
ing confidence in the merits of their
proposed legislation, yet find it neces-
sary to raise $4,000 TO 100000 TO in
duce this Congress to consider IT."
