GERMAN BABBLES
HIMSELF INTO JAIL
Anton Huber Brought From

Unpatriotic Remarks.

Anton Hubors anarchistic and in

war, abusing the nations ruler in
most violent and vulgar terms and
generally sympathizing with Germany
--altho he did couple the kaiser's
name with those of allied rulers whom
he said "all ought to be shot and the
war would stop.
He declares he did not make the
statements attributed TO him, but -FOUR

his reputed declarations considerably,

on the mercy of the court but Judge

would show any, saying he would
withhold his decision until this morn

If the West Virginia national guard
should be ordered to mobilize it is
probable that Martinsburg may be Sc
leeted as the point for the First Reg.
iment to congregate. although Cover.
nor John J. Cornwell has not yet
made his decision.
Among other cities mentioned as
the place for mobilization is Fair

burg stands a much better chance for
various reasons, which would be Of
great benefit to those in charge in get
ting the men to any point at the
earliest possible moment.
Martinsburg has far better train
sergice thar Fairmont, or ia fact any
other city which might be considered
a bidder for the encampment. The
main line of the Baltimore and Ohio,
one OF the biggest systems of the
country, runs through here. and if
the regiment were here and orders
would come to report at any given
point, it would be much easier to get
the men away from Martinsburg than
it would from FairmOnt. Trains run
through here continually, both night
and day
The location of this city is much
better than that of Fairmont, for
while thel after city may be a little
more centrally located, the location
in general would favor Martinsburg.
Being but few miles from the ma
TONS capital and in the far eastern
section Of the state the militia,
which if moved, would be taken east

Troops could be taken from this city
to any place in the east in short

West Virginia militia to mobilize,
