Unexpected Delays Force
PostpOnement Of Open

Manager O'Neal, OF The Fairmont

hotel would not be ready for the big
opening that had been planned for the
Fourth OF July. In discussing the open
Ing he stated that poor shipments and
inability to obtain materials were
among the big drawbacks that would
prevent The opening Of the hotel next
week. Some of the material has been
on the road since the middle of May
and has rot yet arrived A week ago
the opening Of the hotel on the Fourth
looked very probable, but since that
time other delays have interviewed that
have led Manager o'Neal to abandon
all Fourth Of July plans.
Other Than the lack Of material, un
expected delays have turned up in
decorating the building, Painting and
paper hanging remain tob be done which
must be finished before further clean

dental Jobs remain to be finished
which will take longer than was at
first expected. Wormen along vart'

which has also led TO delay. AS soon

SENATE FOOD BILL
SPARES VINE ONLY
Presidents Power to Com
mandeer is Confined to
Service Supplies.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. June %
With drastic prohibition amendments
10 prohibit the manufacture OF beer as
well as distilled liquors, and giving the
president discretion 10 permit the man
ufacture o, wine only, the admlntstra'
ton food I'LL was agreed on yesterday
by the Senate Agriculture committee
and favorably reported as a substitute
for the bill now under consideration.
The committee also amended the
House bill to give the President power
only to commander supplies for the
army and navy. The House bill per
mitted him to commander necessities
for other purposes. Another amend
ment would make it unlawful for any
person acting either as voluntary or &
paid agent in the employment Of the
government in any capacity to pur'
chase and sell to the government any
supplies.
Senators explained that the effect
of the substitute prohibition plan
would be to absolutely prohibit fur
Their manufacture OF distilled spirits,
malt and fermented liquors, but give
the President power, If he deemed 1t
advisable to allow manufacture OF
wines alone.
Senator Wadsworth, of New York
proposed the wine exemption.
The committee also approved extern
sion of Federal control to steel and
iron products, petroleum and its prod
ucts, form implements and machin.
cry, fertilizers and binding twine ma
terials, as recommended by its sub
committee.
Adoption of the licensing section
to make II applicable only to agencies
and products in interstate or foreign
commerce. was adopted by the commit
tee as proposed by the subcommittee
This was regarded as one Of the mos!
important amendments Of the bill. and
urged by its opponents Admtnistra
ton officials disclaim knowing how
President Wilson looks upon the pro-
hibition amendment to the food bill,
but it is generally believed he will
not oppose its adoption by Congress
Although the President has not tndi'
Gated his attitude, 1t was believed to-
day he would agree with Herbert e.
Hoover, the food administrator, who
has announced he looks upon prohfbl
ton only from the practical point OF
whether it is more important to use
loodstuffs exclusively tor food.
If the President takes any stand on
The subject, some officials believe it
will be on whether the food bill should
be hindere0 in passage ana involved
in long debate by the attachments Of
such ame ldments.
The country's bakers put their in
dustries voluntarily under the food ad
ministra.i"n yesterday and assured
Herbert c. Hoover that they would
carry out all directions issued by the
administration as to the conduct Of
their business.
A representative of the baking indus
try will be chosen to serve as a volun
tary aide to Mr.. Hoover, and 200 loca.
committees will be named to carry
out his instructions A fund Of $500,
900 will oa raised for use in acquaint
Ing the baking trade with the food ad
ninistratton's instructions.
One of the first moves Of the baker:
to be made at Mr.. Hoover's suggestion
will be toward Standardization OIL
loeves. The number OF styles anc
sizes will be reduced considerably IL

.lARST OPPOSES THE
SCHOOL BOOK CHANGE
VIII Vote Against Pubic
Works Boards Approx
al of Bonds.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, June Is
Speaking as member of the State
Board of Public Works, John S. Darst,
state auditor, declared that he would
not vote to approve the bonds offered
by the successful school book publish.
ers who were awarded contracts re.
Gently by the State School Book Com
sion for supplying new school books in
West Virginia, unless he was forced to
do so by the courts and until all his
legal rights had been exhausted.
Mr.. Darst's statement is the first
public announcement of an official ma.
ture pointing out a possible way in
which the people OF the state may
avoid the results of the action Of the
School Book Commission, since the
statement of Gov. Cornwell, raising the
legality of the commission.
The auditor declares the belief that
conditions in the state and nation war
rant the Board Of Public Works to
take an arbitrary stand if it becomes
necessary to prevent any additional
burden of expense being placed on the
people at this time.

BRICE JOLIFFE IS
FATALLY INJURED
Auto in Which He Was Rid
ing Stalled on Railroad
Track.

(special Dispatch to West virginian)
MANNINGrON, w. Va, June 2S.-
Brice Jolliffe, who was returning home
from West Warrington, having Win
him his father, Fleming Jollife, and
his granddaughter Marie, was struck
by passenger train No. 40 west bound
at 2:O5 yesterday afternoon. The au'
tomobile was knocked over 50 feet
down the bank.
Fleming Jolliffe, the father, aged Sc,
was fatally hurt, dying few minutes
after the accident. The train stopped
Immediately on striking the machine.
The body Of the elder Jolliffe was car
ried back to the station. The younger
Jolliffe was brought back by auto, to-
gether with the girl Marie. Fortunate
" she was only scratched about the
chin and knes. Young Jolli1e, VINO
was driving the car, was cut up pretty
badly, but not seriously hurt.
Mr.. Jolliffe claims that his engine
shut down as he was attempting to
cross the track, and that the train
dashed into them as they sat powerless
to help themselves. They did not have
time to jump. The crossing has long
been classed as one Of the most dan
serous points in that section. The
curve is very sharp and but little view
of the track can be seen from the
crossing.
The efforts Of the engineer in slow.
ing down his engine probably saved
the lives of Mr.. Jolliffe and niece. He
applied the emergency brakes on see
ing the machine and somewhat slowed
down before striking it. The occu
pants were thrown out. The aged Mr.
Jolliffe was struck on the head.

The Consolidation Coal company is
rebuilding and remodeling Traction
park, which is owned by the Mononga'
Leila Valley Traction company. The
Traction company still has the owner.
ship OF the park but it has been under
the charge of the Consolidation Goa!
company for some time. The coal
company will spend at least $4,000 in
rebuilding the baseball grounds and
other parts Of the park.
Car loads Of lumber have arrived
and work IS no wheeling directed to the
rebuilding of a new fence around the
entire baseball field. A fence was
constructed around the field when the
park was built but in the last year has
been torn down by neighboring people
to be used as kindling wood. The wood,
en- foundation has been torn out from
the grand stand until it is just about
ready to collapse. The bleeckes are in
6 most deiapidated condition and are
rapidly being torn down.
Its the plan of the coal company
to rebuild the park in general, adding
many new features. When the park
has been completed a man will be en-
ployed to care for things, seeing that
the property is not destroyed as in the
past year.
With a crew Of thirty men now work
ing on the grounds, most of the work
will be completed by the Fourth OF
July, in preparation for the big cele,
braticn given there on that date by the

Va, Just across the Potomac from
Westernport, Sheriff Davis jumped on
the running board Of the machine,
when Weisengof put on more gas and
the car shot ahead, colliding with the
bridge connecting the two towns.
The machine was wrecked. Sheriff
Davis received broken leg and inter.
nal INJURIES. He was brought at once
to the Hoffman hospital at Keyser,
where he died soon after arrival.
Weisengoff and his four children,
who were in the car, were all cut by
flying glass and more or less injured.
Weisengoff returned to the Maryland
side, where he was placed under ar.
rest. He was taken to Jail at Cumber.

shipping liquor into the state in viola

bond in $500, but, it is alleged, failed
