No Extra Session
K 0fThe Legislature

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb. 22.-
Following the lengthy session Of the
legislature Saturday, during which
practically all important measures OF
q general nature were passed, the
opinion generally expressed here is
that there will be neither an extended
nor an extraordinary session.
The only necessity for either would
be failure TO agree upon revenue
measures, and as the legislature has
the next five days In which to consid.
or these and appropriation bills. It is
believed that the session will end
Friday.
The revenue measures have not yet
been reported out. The House finance
committee did not make its report.
II Is said that another meeting viii be
held before It makes its report, when
1t will reconsider its action Of Friday
night in voting to report unfavorably
the two measures suggested in the
special message Of Governor Hatfield.
1t Is said that the committee will rec.
ommend the proposed excise tax on
incomes Of corporations and direct
tax levy of 10 cents.

LONDON, Feb. CA letter receiy.
ed by an English family from a daush.
ter serving as a Red Cross nurse in
Flanders. gives a thrilling glimpse of
a girls life on the Nieuport.D ixmude
line.
I'VE had lively day OF Smelling on
Monday" she writes. "At about 10: 30,
whiz-bang! Just outside our house,
and all our glass came SCATTERING
down. Whiz-bang! another, and an.
other, and yet another. Just then the
Belgian doctor came in and told us
we had better go into the cellar. We
went down into the cold, damp cellar
and stood about on bits OF wood and
coal, and listened to the continued
whiz. bang and crash of big shells.
The noise was pretty near deafening.
and they must have pumped in about
100. Out of all that lot luckily we
only got two wounded men-a priest,
wounded by flying bit in the face,
and soldier. 1t was extremely lucky
that on the day the trenches opposite
our house were not occupied or there
would have been many killed and
wounded"
Continuing her letter on the follow.
ing day, the writer says: 1.-THE big
cannonade is still going on. There
must be tremendous battle, am
hoping they are gaining ground, and
that we shall soon move on down the
road. should Just love to move for.

been truly awful lately, nothing but
rain. I live in knee.high rubber boots
and my oil-skins. ! am sure will

I'VE are thinking of going to Fumes

We have been hard at It for nearly a

OF going In. You have no idea what
a pleasure trundle into Furnes is,
when you have not done a thing but
remain in two smelly, dingy posts, day
In and day out. will tell you what
the pleasure consisted OF: Getting

Its best days, and trundling over brok-
en-, holey roads that nearly Jolt ones
inside out; probably at least once, and
perhaps more, sticking in the deep
mud. and all having to get out and
push and shove to get the car out, and
eventually arriving at Fornes and hav-
ing a mad rush round the shops aud
grabbing all stores We can find. but
1t all seems 30 new and. interesting
after desolate town.

seems to u.s."

Epistle Of Resignation
House Is Told.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 22.-"In view
OF the existence OF an uneasy temper
among the Inhabitants OF Santo Do.
m!ngo: In view OF the fact that our
relations to that island are those Of a
fduciary guardian; In view OF the fact
that United States partisan politics
had always been excluded from the
enlightened utterances upon disinter-
ested friendship for Latin America, II
would seem that the United States had
a right and duty to ask the writer OF
the Wick letter Of resignation as Sec
rotary of State"
In this manner Representative Rog-
ers. Of Massachusetts,. on the floor OF
the House called for William Jen.
nings Bryan's retirement, following a
heated denunciation Of him as the au.
thor OF the deserving Democrats
note, and the sponsor of James Mark
Sullivan. Minister to the black repub.
lie. - =
So heated was the attack that Rep.
resentative Hammill, OF New Jersey
arose and requested the Massachu.
sets member to be fair, and suspend
his judgment until all OF the case was
heard.
After reviewing the. testimony at
the Sullivan hearing that the United
States Minister was wont to receive
ambassadors while clad only in his
undershirt and trousers, and that
when he went abroad he was the re.
cipient of bricks, and not bullets, :.
Mr.. Rogers assailed Secretary Bryan
as having been responsible for SUM-.
vans appointment.
Why does Mr.. Bryan continue as
Secretary of State" he cried, when Il
must be difficult for him to adtus: his
occasional visits to the SIZE Depart.
ment so as not to Interfere with his
speaking dates?' Mr.. Rogers added
that during forty.six days prior to De.
cember 1, the Secretary has been at
his office only eight days. 7
1T is apparent" he remarked a lit
tie later, sshat a sense of fitness can.
not be infested into the Secretary OF

Sunday Delivers
Famous oB oozen Talk

4 PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 22.-Billy
Sunday turned his guns on local op.
ton last night and in his sermon "rhe
Trail of the Serpent declared there
was no halfway measure which would
amount to anything in the hght against
rum. "The saloon must go-thats all
there is to It." he shouted. '1'm with
Governor Brumbaugh as far as he
goes, but he doesn't go far enough"
Answering his call to the trail $40
men marched down the aisles and
pledged themselves to fight for "a
clean Philadelphia and a clean heart .
Yesterday afternoon 257 persons hit
the trail, a total of 1,103 for the day.
Sunday was more dramatic than ever
in his preaching. listen to me!
And you. God in heaven. listen to mel"
he yelled. There is not man who
votes for the saloon but deserves to
have his boy die drunkard and his
daughter live in the embraces of a
drunkard all her days"
His words scorched. He rushed
across the platform, snatched up a
plain kitchen chair and banged It
down on the platform, breaking 1t to
pieces.
"I'm not in politics, but I tell you
politicians of the Grand Old Party,
you politicians Of old Democracy-the
whisky gang has got you politicians
by the throat. And, mark you, we are
going to keep you powerless at home
you two.for.a-cent. measley, misery,
tinhorn political skunks. tell you
the anti,saloon element holds the bal.
ance OF power in America today"
They were applauding madly when he
was half through those words.
"Tamerlaine commanded that 100,.
900 skulls be brought to him. He
built pyramid, and enthroned upon
1t, sat frowning on the world. This
is America, and every year the liquor
business piles up 100000 skulls. Oh.
] hate this liquor business, and l pray
God daily to strengthen that hate"
