each of the twenty-three schools in the
three townships contributing to the
maintenance of the Library may have
selected group of twenty books, thess

These books were selected, not with
view to the children's needs alone, but
in an effort to have each group include

By Jury, Which Says United
Fruit Company is Not
Entitled to Damages.


PHILADELPHIA, Jan. PA jury
In the United States court here today
returned q verdict for the defendant in
the suit Of the Bluefelds Steamship
Company against the United Fruit
Company. The suit was entered I'M
der the Sherman antitrust law and
was known as the banana trust suit.
Millions Of dollars were involved in the
litigation. The jury had the case I'M
der deliberation since Thursday after
noon. t-...,
Originally the action was for the
recovery of $15,OOO,OOO the steamship
company alleging that its business
had been damaged to the extent Of
S5,O00,0O0 and the law permitting
triple damages, but the amount was
greatly reduced by ruling of the
judge that the statute of limitations
permitted the collection Of damages
only from 1905 to 1911.
1t was alleged that the defendant
violated the Sherman law in acquiring
stock control Of the Bluefelds COM
pan yand then throttling the concern
as competitor.
Judge Thompson instructed the jury
that if the two companies mutually
formed monopoly for the purpose Of
controlling and restraining trade, the
steamship company, as willing party,
was not, under the Sherman act. en-
titled to redress for damages inflicted
by other members Of the combine. The
judge then explained that IL the fruit
company had wilfully planned and ac-
complished the ruin Of the Bluefelds
corporation, the latter was entitled to
a verdict.

GREAT MASS NEE TING
FOR. CLARKSBURC MEN
VIII Be Held by the Rev. DR..
Morrison in First Methodist
Church This Afternoon.

At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon In
the First Methodist Episcopal church
the Rev. DIR. H. C. Morrison will
hold a mems meeting, or rather a
meeting for men only. This affair
has been very widely advertised and
1t is expected that at least 1900 men
will be In attendance.
DR.. Morrison is a revelation to
Clarksburg. He is not preaching to
the people who are out of the church
as and whose robes are red with the
stains of sin. He is ;hammering
straight from the shoulder at the
bulwarks OF deception and hypocrisy
behind which some protested church
members are hiding-and he is land
ing every shot. The way some Of
the hearers have been squlrming un-
der his scathing yet kindly indict-
ments is indeed noteworthy, how
ever II is very probable that as time
passes and the cleanup now on
among the lukewarm members be-
comes fully effective the uneasiness
will abate.
Here are some of the things which
DR.. Morrison said in his sermon Of
Friday evening:
There isn't,one of you who has
been saved BY a cyclone or a vol
cano.--it takes the blood Of Christ"
May the good Lord save US from
those who talk too much and clatter
in your ear like threshtng ma
chine"
"If you haven't sense enough to
get happy when you get religion why
don't blame ME. I've told you what
l think about it,
~ was was bad one and thank
the Lord for the Methodists, Baptists
and Presbyterians who settled he
down"
"The average church the size of
this one has plenty of salt but the
trouble is it is all barreled up"
1T is wonderful how few of US
lie awake nights crying for lost
souls"
"In the responsibility churches
they will screw up their mouths until
you can hide them with nickel
while the revival is on, but at its
close you can't hide them with dish
pan."
There will be preaching in the
morning at the usual hour and regu-
lar song and preaching services in
the evening. This meeting promises
to rival if not to reach greater pro-
portions than anything in the history
of the city. The music is great
feature and the big chorus under the
able direction of Prof. Hyatt, of
Moundsyille, is causing no little IA
vorable comment fro mthe public. 1t
is perhaps well to come early If you
wish to secure a seat as the pastor.
the Rev. DR.. King, assures all that
all the seats will be taken early in
the evening.
