COULD END GREAT WAR
Improvement Continues in Con-

Great Britain and France In
United States and Doctors
Say He Is In No Danger

tAsSOciatsd Press by Federal wireloss)
|TLENCOVE, Long Island,
~ July 5.-Frank Holt, the de
mented instructor of German
who shot J. Pierpont Morgan last
Saturday, has made a fantastic
confession to the police, in which
he explains the original purpose
of his invasion IF the Morgan
household.
ID He did not intend, he says, to
kill Morgan, but only shot at
random when he saw himself III
danger of being overpowered by
the butler. The true purpose of
his visit was TO capture Morgan
wife and children.
Were To Be Hostages
He planned to take them TO his
home, where they were to have
been held as hostages, to enforce
on Morgan llolt's determination
that the expectation OF munition,
to the Allies should cease.
Better than any other man, h"
believed, MoEgan could put a
stop to the shipment of powder
and shot, because Morgan was
the fiscal agent of both tho
French and British governments
in their purchases. If Morgan
did not yield he intended to kill
Mrs Morgan and the children.
| Assassin Is Detected
Holt is detected and nervous
more depressed, apparently, by
the failure of his plan, than from
realization OF the nature OF his
act or the serious situation in
which he finds himself No cA.
pert tests of his sanity have been
! made, but the officers who have
watch over him all believe that
Ne is unbalanced mentally.
Waited To Stop War
81 did not want to hurt Mr..
/ Morgan" he declared last night
Il only wanted to stop the war,
and 1 still hope that my act may
/ have accomplished some good,
] even if nay plans went wrong"
| MIR. Morgan'S improvement
continues and his doctors have no
fear for his recovery. His tenn
4 pefature is good, he sleeps we'll
Eand is resting easily.
Simple Flesh Wounds
No bones were broken and
neither of the two bullets penc-
trated the abdomen The wounds
| were simple flesh wounds, Al the
danger of infection is NOW slight.
1OtherWise, serious symptom
probably would have manifested
themselves before this.

Activity In Timber Industry.

A resumption of normal activity in
the lumber manufacturing centers of
West Virginia is heralded in the an
nouncement of the T. C. McVey Lum-
Der & Tie company, Charleston con-
Germ that it has just closed a contract
with the Hewitt Lumber Co, of Hunt
ington for the sale of twelve feet of
timber. The Huntington company
operates mills at Huntington and in
eastern Kentucky towns. The timber
to be used in filling this order will be
taken from the mountains of Fayette
county in the vicinity of Elkridge. 1t
will require three years to remove the
twelve million feet of timber from the
mountains. The local company has
expended several thousand of dollars
in the purchase of logging equipment,
and this already has been installed. A
force of forty men are at work on the
new contract. They will remove
about twenty thousand feet of timber
a day.

Fire Hazards Increased.

Fire hazards are increased in Char
lesion, as elsewhere, by the careless
use of oiled mops used in many house
holds on vanished and other floors
These mops often cause spontaneous
combustion, and Fire Chief W. w
Graham issued a warning to guard
against the careless storing of these
mops. The fire department was
called out by an alarm from box 81,
to the Gates paint store at Virginia
and Summers streets. The blaze was
of considerable dimensions but was
quenched before much loss was sus-
tanned. This fire originated from
spontaneous combustion of the plain
est type. Sawdust, oil and clean
waste had been thrown into barrel
after the store had been swept out
Saturday night. The blaze did not
become evident until a few minutes
before the alarm was turned in.

BOOST DAIRY INDUSTRY
Meeting of Railroad OFFICIALS and Farm
ers Held at kearneysville.

Kearneysville, W. Va.-Plans for de-
velopment of the dairy industry upon
an extensive scale in West Virginia,
within easy access of the markets OF
the large eastern cities, have been set
in motion by the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad along lines calculated to
place the state among the leading
producers of milk, cream, butter and
cheese and increase the prosperity, Of
the rural sections.
A meeting was held recently at
Kearneysville, near Martinsburg,
which was attended by authorities
from the Agricultural College of the
State University at Morgantown,
farmers, railroad officials and repre-
sentatives of large eastern diaries to
consider the dairying question from
the viewpoint of greater profits from
this branch of farm pursuits and build
ing up large herds.
Members of large dairy firms of
eastern cities attended the conference
and there is likelihood that shipping
points will soon be selected in the
eastern section of the state from
which dairy products will be shipped
to New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia
and Washington.

Considerable interest.

Considerable local interest has been
stirred over the possibility that West
virginia gas mains may be extended
through Maryland to supply Balti-
more and Washington and other
eastern cities with gas. 1t is reported
that W. Y. Cartwright, vice president
OF the Columbia Gas & Electric COM
pany and the United Fuel company,
and P. G. Gossler, chairman of the
board of directors of the Columbia.
both OF Cincinnati, held a conference
the latter part of last week with gas
men in Baltimore, at which the pro-
position was discussed.
1t is known that the United Fuei
Gas company and the Columbia Gas &
Electric company, which have been
merged, have control of large gas pro-
duction in the state, and it is believed
the concern would like to extend its
market to the east.

WITHDRAWS WEST
VA. APPLICATION
g. G. o. RAILROAD WILL NOT ASK
FOR INCREASE IN PAssEN-
GER RATES IN STATE.
HEARING WAS POSTPONED
The New Tariff Proposing an Increase
Was Filed With interstate Com
merce Commission Last April.
Special Charleston Correspondents,

Especial Charleston Correspondence)
harleston.-Former Attorney Gen
eral William G. Conley, on behalf of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
withdrew the application pending be-
fore the state public utilities commits
sion which asked consent of the com
mission for the railroad company to
increase its rate for interstate pas
senger transportation from the statu-
tory rate of 2 cents to ~ cents per
mile.
The action Of the company was
taken following the postponement of
the hearing on the application for sew
eral months. The new tariff, propos.
ing an increase of interstate passen-
ger traffic, was filed with the commits
sion last April, and it was sought to
put the new rate in effect on May l
by bringing suit for an injunction in
the state courts. The courts held
that the commission was empowered
with authority to suspend the in
creased rate, and in the meantime the
railroad company has been collating
statistics to show that the lower rate
is confiscatory. The withdrawal of
the tariff was a surprise, although the
railroad company can renew the petit
ton for an increased rate at any time.

Remarkable Increase.

West Virginia has shown a remark
able one year increase in the produc-
ton of corn, wheat, oats and potatoes
while the apple crop fell down nearly
one-half, according to a summary of
preliminary estimates of crop produc-
ton and prices, sent out by the de-
partment of agriculture, transmitted
to the Office of the weather bureau
here The corn crop in West Virginia
is estimated this year at 27,700,000
bushels over a final estimate last
year of 22,692,000. The price is also
seven cents cheaper, being quoted at
rs cents per bushel while last year, 81
cents was paid to producers. The
increase of over 100000 bushels is
due undoubtedly to the fine weather
enjoyed by farmers during the spring
and early summer as the crops were
more choice this year than ever be-
fore. Wheat remains at the same quo
tation of $1.0S while the estimated
crop this season is 100000 bushels
over $4,000 last year. The fact
that a price of S1.0S is again quoted
to producers this year, is due in all
probability to the advance in flour
that caused such a financial furry
last spring.

WHY :ANURIC"
IS AN INSURANCE AGAINST SUDDEN DEATH
Sufferers from Backachs, Rheumatism and kidney Trouble

Before an Insurance Company will
take risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and re-
port whether you are a good risk.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells, or the twinges
and pains Of lumbago, rheumatism and
govt. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times night. This is the time you
should consult some physician Of wide
experimental as DR.. Pierce, OF the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute.
Buffalo, ~ Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package of his new discovery
"Anuric." Write him your symptoms
and send a sample OF urine for test.

Experience has taught DR.. Pierce that
"Anuric" is the most powerful agent
in dissolving uric acid, as hot water
melts sugar, besides being absolutely
harmless and is endowed with other
properties, for 1t preserves the kid

oughly cleansing them. Checks the de-
generation of the blood-vessels, as wen
as regulating blood pressure. 'Anuric''

FOUR CHILDREN PERISH
Bodies Found in Burned Home-Mur-
der Is Suspected BY Authorities.

Grafton, W. Va.-The bodies of four
children of c. E. Hunt, miner, were
recovered from the ruins of their
home, which was destroyed by fire
while their parents and two other
children were absent at Hiorra, a
small town near which they lived, 20
miles from here. When the house had
burned down the charred bodies were
raked from the red-hot embers with
long coke rakes from the coke ovens
near by. Three of the trunks were
headless and ones skull was crushed
in as though from heavy blow. Ply
sicians who examined the bodies are
of the opinion that the children were
murdered and the house fired to hide
the crime. The case will be investi-
gated thoroughly The bodies were
buried at Fairmont.
