Him Because He Was "UncIean.''
 Chicago, July 11.-William Lori n3er, former United States senator, to- day started out to restore his fortune with the aid of an organization of 4,O0O depositors of the defunct La Salle Street Trust and Savings bank who lost money in the failure of that institution of which he was president At a mass meeting last night the de- pOsitOrs pledged themselves to assist Lorimer in his plans to reimbu them.
 The former senator in an address before the meeting told how public men he had made" had "turned him down. and how former friends among bankers had turned their heads when he askd aid. "Lorimer, you're un~ clean in the public mind," was what one bank president an old friend had told him.
 "He told the truth" MT. Lorimer declared. "The world thinks I am un- clean. The world is afraid to asso- ciate with Lorimer." He said he wanted to show that this impression of him was unjust, and that he had an ambition to return to the United States senate.

the same PERIOD 1894, under the Democratic
law, while for the same period, 1885, despite the
enormous demand of the belligerents for Western
hemisphere wheat our imports rose to very nearly
5000, 600 bushels. Most of this has come from Can

The report Of the Department Of Commerce of

In respect to the Public Service

AN EVEN RACE NOW.

I would not be surprising if ten years from now
/ some expert investigator making an industrial
and commercial survey of the northern part of
West Virginia should write down October 81, 1916
and add the note, this day marked the turning
point in the of Clarksburg. Up to that time
advantageous rates for gas enabled that city to at
tract important industrial establishments that de-
pended upon cheap fuel. But on this day the Public
Service Commission authorized an increase in gas
rates which put the city nearly upon an equal
ity with the other cities in the same section of the
state, and those that had other advantages drew
away from Clarksburg'
The new Clarksburg rate for industrial purposes
is almost exactly the Fairmont rate For the first
100000 cubic feet the rate in both towns is Is cents
For the next 100000 feet the Fairmont rate is
slightly better than the Clarksburg rate, being 1914
cents as opposed to Clarksburg's Is cents For the
next 100000 feet the advantage is the other way
for the Clarksburg rate is 0 cents while ours is 10
cents. The rate for the next 100000 is the same
in both towns, cents.
But while the two cities are now on an equality
in the matter of gas fuel, Fairmont has number
Of advantages that place this town way ahead of
Clarksburg. We have, for instance, direct connec-
lions with three Of the great railroad systems while
Carksburg boasts but one. We have river com.
munication which some day we will learn how to
use, and we have about the best and most abundant
water supply in the state; much more attractive
city and 101 other advantages which before long
ought to, and WILL enable Fairmont to take the lead
in the race for commercial primacy in northern

EVIDENCE OF SUCCESS.

r. HE brief announcement yesterday that the
$4,000 Of seven per cent preferred stock of
the Greater Fairmont Investment company
which was offered to the public had all been sub
scrbed for, and that the board of directors out of
consideration for people who were not able to take
advantage of the original opportunity had decided
to offer $4,000 for sale was the best evidence
so far produced that the Greater Fairmont move
ment is going to get the kind of support locally
which it will need for complete success.
There was not the slightest suggestion of -four
ish of trumpets about the announcement that the
stock that originally offered had been sold, and
that there was inquiry for more of it. 1t is begin
ming to be apparent that this effort means business
and that those behind it are not very much inter.
ested in trying to make it spectacular With the
money realized from the sale of this additional
allotment of preferred stock fund will be created
for obtaining factories for Fairmont. This means
that the general movement of making the town
more important from industrial standpoint will
have more steam behind it at the start than was
originally contemplated.
