capped with $4,000 in money and nego-
table revenue stamps valued at $577,-

The arrest and the recovery of two

Validity sim undeeIaso.

The West Virginia prohibition law
is hanging in the balance. and will so
remain until the handing down of a
decision in the cases OF the James
Clark Distilling Company, Maryland
concern. against the American Express
Company, the Western Maryland Rail
way Company. and the State OF West
Virginia, appealed from the United
States circuit court to the supreme
court last year. Meanwhile Fred o.
Blue, state commissioner OF prohibi-
ton, has prepared an exhaustive brief
upholding the right OF this state under
the Yost and Webb-Kenyon state and
federal laws to prohibit the shipping
or bringing into the state of intoxicat4
ing liquors for unlawful purposes
The question is whether the operation
of the law passed by the West Virginia,
legislatures interferes with Interstate
commerce since the passage of the fed
eral law meant to rob intoXicants of
their interstate character The state
contends that the Yost law does not
interfere with the legal right OF any
shipper, and on this contention the
case viii be argued late in the present
month. Meanwhile department officers
are guarding the points of ingress on
the line between the wet" and "dry''
territory, and the bringing in OF intoxi4
cants has been reduced to a small
fraction Of what it was before the OPP
Grafton OF the court order against the
carrying of labeled packages of liquors

ROCK FALL BLOCKS RESCUE
Explosion Of Gas Pocket Supposed
to Have Caused the Disaster.
Some May Be Buried Beneath
the Fall Of Rock

Ernest, Pa.-Sixteen men are dead,
four others are in the hospital and
the fate OF eight other coal miners
entombed is uncertain, as result Of
a gas explosion in Mine No. 2 OF the
Jefferson and Clearfield Coal and Iron
Company. One hundred volunteers,
including miners from various sec
lions OF the county, formed rescue
teams and entered the mine In relays.
Crowd Gathers.
The explosion occurred about one
mile from the main entrance of the
mine. The report could be heard a
half mile and men, women and chill
dren consregated about the mouth OF
The Inflated mine. waiting for some
news Of the imprisoned men.
Tons OF Earth Fall.
The force Of the explosion demol-
lshed brattices in the mine. causing
tons OF coal and earth to fall. Whether
any of the missing miners were bur
led beneath the debris is not known
The cause of the explosion has noe
been determined. Officials suspect
that pocket of gas was ignited in
some unknown manner, and are inves-

fire Losses Are Great.

Fire losses in the state OF West
Virginia for the month of December
which totaled larger than for any
other month in the last half OF the
year, amounted to S94,124 on property
valued at $240,724, according TO the
report of State Fire Marshal Horan.
This covered 81 fires, the largest loss
being S17 ,250 on the destruction OF
hotel building at Clarksburg, owned
by Judge Charles W. Lynch. OF the
supreme court. The largest number
OF fires in any county was in Cabel,
five Of them being in Huntington and
one each in Milton and McComas. Ka-
nawha had five fires, four OF them be
ing in Charleston and one at Union
Most OF the losses were small Insur-
ance, though not carried on all the
risks. amounted to more than the loss
or s161,425. Fires may be broadly
classed under two heads" Mr. Horan
points out in his report, those caused
by carelessness and those caused by
intent. Carelessness in many cases de
stroys property. not only OF the person
who Is responsible for the loss, but
OF innocent property owners as wen
1t can be readily seen, therefore, that
this is distinctly unfair and unjust
Recently there has been considerable
discussion OF proposed legislation to
make the individual property ownsT
responsible for loss suffered by adjoin
ing property holders in the event the
Ere started on his premises and was
caused by fragrant carelessness."
