SHERIFF N DOUBT !
OVER An ARREST
Has a Grip Full Of Evidence
But Is Not sureo His
i Prisoners,
n -

-Four men, all foreigners, who had
come IN on the Pittsburgh train and
were waiting for an intenrban, were
arrested last night by Sheriff Glover
and lodged in the county jail to await
trial for having in their possession TOO
much liquor. The four men had with
them when arrested six suit cases and
one travelling bag. The suit cases con-
tanned no moro than one quart each
but the travelling bag contained about
eight quarts and these circumstances
may result in all Of the men gaining
their freedom without trial.
It seems that there were two other
men in the party who had left the
crowd for few minutes Just before the
sheriff appeared on the scene and IN
that way escaped arrest, These men
returned while the sheriff was locking
the others up and finding their compaD-
ions and their baggage gore OWNED
what had happened and cleared out for
parts unknown.
Sheriff Glover was informed by
some Of the men whom he had arrest
ed cha: tina party was incomplete and
he returned to the car station to round
up the others, but he was unable to To-
cate them and now the men are claim
ing that the travelling bag which con
tanned the excess baggage was tie
properly OF one Of the men who eg-
ceped. Since the suit cases contain
cd only one quart each the men did
not violate the law by bringing them
into the state and this morning two Of
the men were released by Prosecuting
Attorney Haggerty because OF lack OF
evidence, The other two are being
held at present bus unless more evil
dence 10 secured th9y will be released
also. 1T

An INQUIRY IS STARTED
An INQUIRY IS STARTED
West Virginia Coal Men
Have Made Complaint
1t Washington.

rsnechl Dispatch to West y!rg'nisn)
WASHINGTON, D, c., Aug. q
Are some of the coal roads fixing their
own tentative p" price for coal and
showerIng favors on the operators who
comply in the shape Of more gener'
Gus car supply? That is the question
which has been raised here by the
charge that that is what is being DONE
If such turns out to be the case as a
result Of an inquiry which has started
It VIII be found that some OF the rail-
roads have confused the situation and
disturbed the so.caled "gentlemea's
agreement" The price at which one
or two Of these roads, and maybe more
of them, have fixed as their own Is
$500 atom. That is less than the S2'5S
tentative price" set by Secretary Dan
iels :or the Navy; 30 cents less than
that agreed on by the Peabody'Lane
committee for the government; and
so less tnau the same committee
agreed cruld be charged the general
public
AS an inducement to meet their fig
ure the railroads involved see to 1t that
the compliant operator gets enough
cars at his mines to keep them busy
every working day, thus giving him an
advantage over his neIghboring opera
tors in several ways, and one OF them
is labor Miners will work IN the mines
where they can secure the steadiest
employment. Should the operator re.
fuse to accept the railroads bride, for
such It really is, 1t is an easy process
Of reasoning to arrive at the conclu'
sion that the railroads could, If they
wanted, make his troubles and ve1a'
tons more numerous than they other
wise would be in these times.
That this practice has been resorted
to in West Virginia Is the complaint
brought to Is in this city by men
connected he business. "Thls
practice Of furnishing arbitrary cars
to coal companies, regardless Of the
nfne's capacity, when the coal is to be
used by railroads, should be con-
demued," said one Of the complainant
producers today. 1t is directly respon'
sible for high prices to the Commercial!
trade. A full supply Of cars to one
mine, when a nelghboring mine is run
ming only three or four days a week
on the car allotment to It, affords the
favored mine an opportunity to take
eway the labor Of the less favored
mine This causes high costs at the
lnine with the full car supply, and the
low price paid by the railroad to the
producer who takes the full supply Of
cars, under the bride conditions I'M
posed, forces that producer to demand
higher prices for his remaining ton,

difficulty of avoiding the commonplace,
because a large proportion of the buy
ers of black hats are women of con-
servative taste. But there is no direc-
ton in which successful effort in de-
signing meets with so much profitable
appreciation.
Not all little black hats are con-
servative in shape and trimming.
Shapes that are daring; or even bit
rakish, are permitted in black, and
admired. So that there is a little
black hat for everyone, and everyone
wants one and should have one, if for
no other reason than appearing occa-
sionally in all-black. There is nothing
somber about black in millinery this
season, because of the brilliance of
braids and trimmings, nearly all little
black hats are of lisere-a braid with
a highly polished surface-lacquered
ribbons, jet beads and Oth2r shiny or
naments add luster to the shSpe.
