FOURTH GOVERNMENT
EXPERT TO LOSE LIFE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-Louis NJ
Jones, mining engineer OF the bureau
of Mines killed while engaged In res
cue work at the Barracksville mine. Is
the fourth government expert to lose
his life in an attempt to save entombed
miners.
Director Manning OF the bureau.
said Friday that Jones's death was
great loss as he was regarded as one
OF the most able men in directing res
cue work.
''Mr. Jones had been an important
factor in the development Of rescue
work" said Director Manning. 'sHe
dies a martyr TO the cause like three
other rescuers of the bureau have
died. Under the chief mining engineer
Of the bureau Mr.. Jones had charge OF
the experimental mine OF the bureau
at Bruceton, Pa, and in this capacity
developed many safeguards that are
not only saving lives In the coal mines
today but will be instrumental in saw
ing thousands of lives in the future
The fact that tine death rate among
the miners last year was the lowest in
the last sixteen years emphasizes the
work OF Mr.. Jones's efforts"

TALE
FOR Chiffon
NOW IN STORE
In Upshur County as RepubIi-
cans and Democrats Alike
Are Talking Sutherland.

BUCKHANNON. Oct 20.-Th Re-
publican maIoritIcs which Upshur
county viii roll up this year will DO
merely a matter of what per cent OF
the Republican overwhelming vote will
80 TO the polls. Hughes was a popular
selection for nominee for the presl-
dcncy in this county, and Republicans
calmly await election day to give him
n majority which II is confidently ex-
pected will run mp to 1900, not an
exOrbitant figure here, where the Re-
publlcnnB have normal majority
ranging UP TO 1900. Democrats cast
in 1914 only 755 votes for Hodges for
ngressman-at-large, and he was
given about as large vote as the
Democrats can muster.
What Is about to happen to William
y. Chiffon In this county will be a
sorry tale indeed. Not only are Demo-
Gratis talking Sutherland, and tho big
vote he VIII get here among their own
party voters. but the Democratic lead
ers have abandoned everything on the
ticket except Cornwell, for whom the
whole fight is made. At the same time
the Democratic headquarters here Is
giving much Of It's attention to woman
suffrage, and is conducting what is
known 10 be bitter fight against Civ
ing the women the ballot. In this city
there are many advocates OF woman
suffrage and the fact that the Demo-
cratic Headquarters has gone out OF
Its way 10 fight the women, something
that is not done in other counties, has
caused local rumpus among Demo-
Gratis themselves, as Judge McWhorter
and other leading Democrats In Up
shur have espoused the cause of suf-
frage for women. Judge McWhorter
has taken the stump for the women.
Howard Sutherland would sweep the
county with an enormous vote even
II the Democratic organization did try
to keep down his vote. Upshur county
Democrats fought out the Chiffon
Cornwell battle when organizing, and
the Chiffon forces were showed under.
The Chiffon organization In other parts
OF the state, after the licking they got
here, probably did not expect that a
very warm campaign would be con-
Quoted for the senator against Suther-
land, but they certainly must be get
ting wise by this time that the cam
paign for Chiffon has been practically
abandoned in Upshur. and all for the
purpose Of trying to get votes for
Cornwell. Nobody in Republican cir
Giles here believes Sutherland needs
any help from the Democratic organ
ization, and every Republican knows
that Democrats are merely playing for
nm opportunity to boost Cornwell
against Judge Robinson. and Republic
cans do not intend to be deceived in
the least

Natural Curiosity.

Joe had been working in Baltimore.
On the day before Christmas he re-
ceived his pay and planned to go home
to Washington. but first he started out
to buy presents for all his family. He
did this with more generosity than
foresight. and when evening came he
found himself at the railway station
loaded with bundles, but with no mon
ey for his fare to Washington.
Somehow he got through the gate
and approached the conductor. He
laid the case before him and ended
with a plea that he might ride to
Washington CT the platform of the bag
gage car. The conductor. his heart
warmed by the spirit of the season.
said, "All right; go ahead"
So Joe climbed on the platform OF
the car next to the engine. 1t was a
cold night, and it was on a road where
the engine takes up water from track
reservoir as it goes along.
When the train reached Washington
the conductor saw Joe approaching
covered with ice from head to foot,
bundles and all. He came up to the
conductor and said: II sure does thank
you. boss, for muh ride. You's very
kind to allow muh to ride up with you,
but there's JUS one question 1 wants to

Cleveland Pitcher Should Rank Among
Leaders.
In discussing the leading pitchers of
the land very few have entered the
name of Guy Morton amor the elect.
Yet if the Cleveland club maintains it's
morale Morton Will likely be ranked
with Walter johnson before the year
is out.
Morton calls Vernon. Ala. his home.
He is V g six feet. weighs ITS pounds
and was twenty-three years old June
/. He joined the Cleveland club late
in 1914. and despite the poor aspect Of
that organization then he won nine
games and lost but five. Last year,
working with the disintegrated Cleve-
land machine. Morton won sixteen
games and lost fifteen. permitting only
a triie above Two runs to the game.
When Cleveland began to absorb
class in the spring and develop power
Morton started in to institute q reign
Of terror. He has already rolled back
the Tigers. White Sox, Browns and
Red SOx with his invaluable stuff. To-
day there isn't a harder pitcher in the
country to beat. and he is only twenty
three. If this Cleveland slabman
doesn't prove to be another Johnson.

Another Cluster Of Future
Greats Has Popped Up.
BILL BRENNAN A GOOD One
The Husky New Yorker Has Been

Style, and Many Experts Predict He
Is In Line For Championship Honors.

The white heavyweight division is
indeed a hardy product. Despite Cham
pion Jess Wizards seeming invincibil-
ity, the dangerous presence Of Jack
Dillon and the consequent hopelessness
of their lot, new big men with titular
ambitions continue to spring up and
demand attention.
Until the title holder outgrows his
boxing ability, Dillon suffers the loss
of a couple of limbs and the colored
contingent is suppressed there is but
q slim chance of+any Of the new men
attaining widespread recognition. Still,
they all seem optimistic and hopeful of
lighting thefr way TO the tOpmost posi-
ton in the division eventually.
Within the last few weeks or months
three men have appeared in battle in
local rings and performed with such
uniform success that they are begin
ming to command quite a bit of pub
licity in the papers. not to mention the
building of enthusiastic followings.
The trio Of newcomers consists of
Knockout Bill Brennan. Jim Healy and
one Jack Dempsey. 1t cannot be fore
told just how far they viii go, but they
are on their way. At the present time
they just look promising.''
Brennan Has Good Record.
Brennan is one of Leo 2. Flynn's dogs
of war. To date he has compiled quite
a record. Out of thirty-eight fights he
has Won thirty-one with Enockouts,
which gives him a batting average of
SIG. Since the first Of the year he has
fought t~wenty-eight battles. twenty
four Of which he won with the ten
second punch.
During his two year career only six
men have carried him over the schedul.
ed distance, the notable exceptions be.
ing a chap named Nelson, Marty Cut.
Ter, Ned Carpenter. Larry Williams
Andre Anderson and Terry Keller. He
has lost but one battle, that being his
questionable defeat by Joe Cox in
Brooklyn. However, be beat Cox later.
