DOG BITES BOY.
Robert Hitler Painfully Injured
When Bitten by Large
Dog.

A large savage dog attacked and
inflicted painful injuries on Robert
Hitler, eleven year old son of Lewis
Hitler, OF jackson street, Saturday
morning while he was returning
from a grocery store where he had
been sent by his mother to purchase
produce.
In telling OF the attack the boy
SAYS he was just turning into Jack
son street from Park avenue when
he noticed the dog. AS he was pass
ing the dog it jumped on him and be-
fore he could get away 1t had bitten
him on the left leg about the knee and
badly torn his flesh. The boy ran
to his home and told his mother who
notified the police department and
an officer ives sent out to kill the
dog, but after searching for it for
several hours the officer gave up the
chase and the dog is still at large.
During this season Of the year
when dogs are suffering so from the
heat. owners Of dogs should see that
they are muzzled and the police. and
county officers should shoot all dogs
they find running the street unmuz-
zled. It certainly is too bad that
small children have to pay the pen
atty by being bitten by worthless
dogs which wander about the streets
without any home or owner.

MO DISORDER THUS FAR
Officers of the Two Companies
Say Fewer Than 500 Men
Have Struck.

NEW YORK, Aug, although
strikes we're in effect today on near
ly every surface car line in Manhat-
tan, Queens and the Bronx with be"
tween 1000 and $500 motcrmen and
conductors reported idle, professional
strike breakers and loyal employee
were in the places OF tho strikers and
officials of the New York Railway
Company and the New York and
Queens County Railways said that al
most normal schedules were being
maintained at 10 a. M.
Police Commissioner Wood assign
cd a policeman to every car Of These
lines and except for few minor
demonstrations there was no dlsor-
der. Officers OF the two companies
asserted that fewer than 500 men
had struck.
The cars were late in getting away
from tho barns. which led to the be-
lief early In the day that a serious
tie-up had been effected.
Reports received by Police Inspec-
tor Max schmldtburger during the
early forenoon showed that sos Of
the 1921 cars operated normally by
the New York Railways Company
were in service, that tho Third Ave-
nue. line in the Bronx was operating
952 out Of 1,403 cars and in Man
haitian but sos. In Queens, the re-
port said, elghty-three cars out OF
ST. were in operation.
About nifty cases Of intimidation
and other dlsorderly Gcts were during
the forenoon reported to police head
quarters including demonstration
at car barn, which called police re-
serves there. The threatening att1-
tude Of the strikers and their sympa-
thIzers frightened n number Of loyal
crews from returning their cars to
the barns. There were few arrests.
AS the day wore on, however, 1t
appeared that the strike was gaining
Roadway. Inspector Schmldtberger
reported that In many cases cars that
had started from the barn In the
morning we're withdrawn before the
noon hour and that by that time
those on the New York Railway Com
pany's lines had been reduced to 467.
The strike moreover threatened to
spread to lines In Staten Island,
where the police reported that ninety
three per cent of the employees Of the
Richmond Light and Power Company
had Joined the union and presented
demands to the company's officials.
There was some disorder in the
nelghborhood Of car barns in various
parts Of the city including the SmaSh-
Ing of car windows and an attempt TO
nile obstacles on the tracks.

former member OF the House of Dele
fates and brilliant mCmbes of the

the Republicans Of the comfy as their
candidate for Judge of the criminal
court Of the county. The nomination
OF Mr. Sutton was made by acclama-
tlon followed by an enthusiastic and
prolonged demonstration on the part
of the nominating convention.
The convention was called to order
in the circuit court room at 1880
O'Clock in the afternoon by Roy e,
Parrish, county chairman. who named
as the temporary officers, c. b. John
son, chairman. and L. Wayman Og-
den, secretary. Mr. Johnson upon
taking charge OF the convention ad-
dressed the delegates assembled. His
talk while short rang true to Rcpub-
lican principles and his chief theme
was victory with united party not
only in this county but in the United
States,
Following Mr.. Johnson's speech
the temporary organization was made
permanent and the business of the
convention was taken UP. The secre-
tary called the roll of districts and
A. D. Fitzhugh, of Bridgeport, in be-
half Of Simpson district placed the

convention:
I am deeply touched by the honor,
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1916-08-05

which, by your united action, you
have Just conferred up me. A man
who does not respond with spirit OF
genuine appreciation to an indorse-
ment by his friends and neighbors,
such as you have here accorded me,
would indeed not merit the support
of his fellow men. So from the full
ness OF grateful heart l thank you
for the vote Of confidence which is
implied by your action today in Sc
lecting me as your candidate for
Judge Of the criminal court Of Har-
rlson county.
1T has been said, and truthfully
so, that man is known by the COM
pany he keeps. The delegates here
assembled are representative cttl-
zens from the four corners of this
county-lawyers, doctors, merchants
and farmers-and it is my proud
privilege to say that large per cent
Of your number, indeed all whom
! personally know, are my warm per-
sonal friends, therefore, to body
OF men familiar with my faults as
we'll as with my virtues, l make no
apology for standing before you to-
day as your nominee for criminal
judge.
"Once before, in 1912, l asked a
political favor at the hands of the
great party of which we are all proud
to belong. My appeal at that time
was not in vain, and together with
Roy F.. Parrish you gave me a com
mission to represent you in the leg
islative halls Of this commonwealth.
In public statement Issued just pri-
or to the election In 1912, l said on
behaly OF Mr.. Parrish and myself:
of It is your pleasure to entrust
US with the serious duty Of repre-
senting you, we will return to you at
the close Of our tenure, the commits
sion so entrusted untarnished and
undefiled
ITO what extend we succeeded IN
carrying out that promise, / shall not
presume to say. But l may say, with
perfect propriety, that the promotion
OF my colleague in 1914 to a seat IN
the Senate cannot be construed 9TH
erwise than as an unqualified In
dorsement OF his past performances;
and as regards myself and the pledge
made in 1912, l am constrained to
look upon your selection here today
as an act Of approval, be the same
merited or otherwise.

While no circular announcing new

The production this season Is the low

until factories resume glass Is going
to be exceedingly scarce. our STOCKS
are somewhat broken, but we can
still ill many specifications and glass
bought at present prices is bound TO
show the purchaser substantial
profit before the end OF 1916
within the last few days prices
have gone up from ten to fifteen per
cent and certain premium sizes and
qualities are being quoted at much
higher price. Wages and materials
will positively be higher during the
blast Of 1867. which certainly Will
make corresponding Increase in the
selling price. Jobbers should get the
