Interesting Program of
Speaking is Observed.

A highly successful bi-weekly meet
ing of the Central West Virginia AS
ISOLATION of Credit Men was held at
the Waldo hotel Thursday night. fea-
tured with an elaborate dinner. The
affair was held at night instead of
at noon as heretofore to enable out
OF town members to attend.
William T. Wallis, of the city, pres
ident of the association presided as
toastmaster in his usual dignified
yet witty manner and made all feel
right at home" and no more de-
lightful hours were ever spent by a
body of men. .
The speakers of the evening were
Judge Ira E. Robinson, of Grafton;
and Will E. Morris, Of the city. Judge
Robinson has many friends among
the business and travelling men of
this section and he was royalty re-
ceived, while Mr., Morris is equally
popular and his presence as well as
his speech was much appreciated.
Judge Robinson discussed Service in
Citizenship" and dwelt especially on
the part business men take In MAX
ing up the good citizenship of the
county and the daily service they, do
in the. development of the state as
q great common brotherhood. Mr..
Morris dealt ably with "The Rela-
lions Of Married Women and. Bus
iness," explaining in painstaking
manner legal phases OF the subject.
naturally a rather dull subject but
with his usual wit and humor, he
pleasingly entertained as well as
wisely instructed.
A special feature OF the occasion
was the reading Of a poem by Igna-
thus Brennan, of Huntington, the
states poet laureate, one OF his own
THE Credit Men," and the recitation
OF other poems. He also made wit,
ty extemporaneous remarks and fit
tngly brought the banquet to close
in lighter vein.
Still another speaker was George
w. Dudderar, secretary of the local
board of trade, who dwelt upon the
marvellous n development of Clarke
burg and the important part the bus
mess men have had in 1t as well as
the debt owed by the community to
them and partly paid, or rather the
mutual interest between them and
the community.

The evidence collected by Secretary

said other evidence was SO complete
that they were not entirely necessary
to the preparation OF the case Of the

The president and the cabinet

The administration considers tho

The president and the cabinet are

WASHINGTON, April 14.-General
Funston today reported to the war
department that he had received no
word from General Pershing on the
fight Wednesday at Parral, but that he
is continuing to press for information.
Secretary Baker said today there
had been as yet no change in General
Funston's orders but declined TO dis
cuss questions Of policy raised by the
CarranZa note. The border command
er's hands were entirely free, he said,
TO make any necessary disposition Of
the 10000 men under his command.
Despatch Of troops to strengthen the
supporting line or the shifting Of bor-
der forces to places best adapted to
eventualities are matters Of which
General Funston himself is the only
Judge in the war departments view.
officials here were still unable to
determine today just what troops
were involved in the Parral ARRAY.
The opinion prevailed, however, that
It was detachment OF the
Thirteenth cavalry. although some
officers believed it nigh have been a
detachment of the Tenth. An official
version OF the incident is anXiously
aawited and may have great weight
in determining the course to be pur-
sued.
kilograms transmitted to secre-
tary Lansing yesterday by the Car
rama embassy here are believed to
be reliable but even these do not
agree on details OF what occurred.
Mexican advices from the border
offer still other versions of the af-
fair. Since General Carranza sharp
ly criticised the American command
er in transmitting a report of what
happened officials here feel it Is nee
essary to have the American officers
own report before any conclusion
can be reashed.
When Secretary Baker left the cab
met meeting he said there was "ab-
solutely no change m the Mexican
situation and that the status of the
American troops was the same.
