RELIEF IS ASSURED
IN FUEL SITUATION
Local Gas Company Officials
Say They Are Doing Every
thing to Supply Gas.

4 .
AT 10 o'clock Thursday morning
gus shortage conditions here began TO
be relieved with the temperature rlg-
Ing. There was considerable suffer-
ing durlng'thc night and early morn
ing among domestic consumers, al
though factory consumption had been
reduced to the very minimum.
AT that hour the BOARD of directors
of thelT light and heat company was
in session, and members of the board
assured the Telegram that the COM
pnny had rbenn taking every step pos
Bihle TO better the situation with the
result that the Hope Natural Gas
Company which supplies the local
company With much of the gas fur
nished Clarksburg had promised to
relieve the situation at once.
The Immediate cause of the short
age was attributed to the action OF
the Hope Natural Gas Company In re-
ldhcing the local supply from be-
tween 26.000,000 to $4,000, 900
feet d day to the the rate
ofNonly 6,001;000 feet d day. the ac-
tlon being on account Of changed
weather conditions in other sections
OF the country supplied under con-
tract by the Hope company. Even In
those sections the factories had been
either shut down or curtalled In their
supply.
In this connection officers and il-
rectors Of the local company de-
clared that The company Is buying
large quantities ofigas daily from the
Hope company at eight cents a thou
sand cubic feet and selling 1t to con
surners. for only four cents and the
books were shown to a Telegram rep
resentative verifying the statement.
During the month OF January alone
the company purchased more than
205, 600. 600 feet OF the Hope at eight
cents thousand and charged cor@i
sumers but four for 1t.
The fuel supply OF Clnrksburg is
becoming serious one and the situ-
alton likely to become more acute de-.
rnands effective action OF some kind.
but Just what that action should DO
the Telegram isinot prepared TO say.

into Mexico, according 10 most relia-

The military censorship which has
been tightening its grip on the bor-

CalIy nothing but rumors To escape
but II was fairly well established that
the advance corps OF the American

But the interest of the border in
the American advance was practically
Dyershadowed by the question as to
how the presence OF the soldiers of
the United States Oh Mexican terri
Tory would he taken by the Carranza
military officials and soldiers.
General Gales, the military gov

mated at from 10000 to 10000 men
garrisoned the frontier town and the
immediate interior of the section into

tered For days reports and rumors
that Calles's troops were dlsaffected
and bitterly resented the pursuit of

G0oded this region. Tho definite an
nouncement that the Stars and
Stripes had been carried over the in
ternatlonal line increased the rumors
and reports to deluge out OF which
Il was almost impossible to pick what
ever grounds Of truth might exist.
There seemed no question that n
considerable portion OF tho Mexican
soldiers and civilians in the north of
tho republic were bitterly hostile to
the action Of the United States. The
higher civil and military authorities
of tho Carranza government showed
every desire to prevent friction, but
1t remains doubtful whether they can
control the masses OF the population
In the very northern district. who are
becoming very restless, due to the
sedulous propaganda against Ameri-

CHILD LABOR INSPECTORS
SUBMIT ANNUAL REPORT
Recommend Change in District Law
Relating to Labor Of Youths
Under Sixteen.

Charles c. Estes and ]. E. Peterson,
child labor inspectors. have submitted
their annual reports to Maj. Raymond
W. Pullman. superintendent of police.
They show the number Of children un-
der sixteen years of age employed as
follows: In stores, 236; stores. 140;
market stands. IA; hucksters. 80; Of
Ffces. 104: factories. 13; theaters. 81;
hotels, 4: lunch rooms, 6. and mes
senger companies, 8.
Both inspectors recommended a
change in section Is of the law, so as
to fix the hour for children selling
newspapers and merchandise to be off
the streets at $3.50 pm. instead of 10
pm.
Inspector Estes, in his report, stated
This change is recommended for the
reason that in my opinion, as well as
in the opinion Of persons connected
with work among the Juveniles Of this
city. it is considered inadvisable to
permit boys under sixteen years of age
to be on the streets alone during the
late hours Of the evening with the ex-
cuse that they are engaged In legiti-
mate trade of selling newspapers. etc.
while in reality they are using this ex-
cuse to cover attempts to solicit money
by means of begging.
1T Is recommended that proper
legislation be enacted or the police
regulations amended SO as to provide
that no child under the age of sixteen
years be permitted in any room or
operated any billiard table. bagatelle
table. SWITCHBOARD. jenny lind table.
pool table or any table upon which
legitimate games are played.
