RIVER IS AGAIN Scene OF GREAT BATH
RECEIVERS NAMED
FOR valve AND TANK
Friendly Proceeding Taken
to Tide Over Crisis Caus-
ed BY War.

A friendly petition was fled in Cir
cult Court yesterday afternoon by
the Greater Fairmonr Investment Co..
asking that receivers be appointed
for the American Valve & Tank Co.
The American Valve & Tank Com
pany was organized a little over a
year ago and erected plant In the
eastern section of the city. for the
manufacture OF special valves and
tanks. Owing too war conditions the
plant was delayed in construction and
war prices ran the cost up to more
than it was estimated.
The demand on the part OF the
government for the material used IL
the manufacturing of the product OF
the American Valve 6 Tank Co., such
as pig iron, copper. coke. ETC., made II
almost impossible to secure this ma
terial for the operation OF the plant,
but recently the company has secured
some government orders and It is felt
that it might now be possible to con-
tinue the plant in operation. In order
to protect all of the interests asso-
ciated with the company. the petition
for the appointment of receivers was
made and the Court named Clarence
D. Robinson, president OF the Greater
Fairmont Investment Company; Wal
ter II. Finley. assistant general man
ager of the Fairmont Mining Aiachin-
cry company. and Charles a. Duff,
chief engineer Of the American Valve
& Tank Company as receivers.
The receivers have given bond and
have taken charge of the property.
The American Valve and Tank Com
pany joined in the petition.

NEW FLU CAES
YESTERDAY g.
Situation in City Better;
Still Serious In
County.

Mrs Albert Lehman who is under
taking the work OF accommodating an
authentic report Of all influenza cases.
pneumonia cases and deaths in the
city at the present time of our cpl
demic, reports that there we're 81 new
cases in the city yesterday, two pnu-
mona caSs and no deaths as far as
she was able to learn. 1t seems to be
difficult matter to ascertain the
number Of deaths each day as report
cd by doctors and undertakers. Very
often the report comes in no deaths
and later, according to notice Of
deaths. by families there is found to
be several which have not come to
light through regular report. For this
reason those in charge Of the matter
of reporting conditions in the city
have been Handicapped somewhat.
The influenza situation in the i'm
mediate city is bette, according to re-
port Of several doctors and the Red
Cross. but the situation in the sur
rounding towns is still serious. New
England IS having an unusually criti-
cal time and most other mining towns
are suffering much from the '.fu" Re-
lief is being sent to suffering COM
munities as fast as is possible. The
mayor of Mo1ongah, Colonel Thos.
G. Price. stated Saturday that if Mo
nongah needed an emergency "1u"
hospital. one should be provided.
Wherever comfort and help can be
provided, such alienation is being Sc
cured. and it IS the general opinion Of
all who are working IN close relation
with the disease which is running It's
! slow course throughout the entire
country that with care and proper
quarantine. 1t will only be a matter
CT, a short time now until the "flu" is
under control.

GOOD LOADING
FOLLOWED
GOOD CAR SUPPLY
Flu Situation at the Mines
Continues Very
Bad.

Loading Of coal cars in the Fair
mont region was very fine yesterday
and an aggregate of 1856 were run
up despite the prevalence Of the ''du'.
The mines appear to have recovered
more rapidly and more completely
from the ravages Of the FLU" than the
railroads. This goes to show that the
production in the Fairmont region
would be top-1otcher If the empttes
could flow in greater numbers into
the region.
Last Weeks LoaEins-
According to q. B. Williams. local
representative OF the railroad ad-
n1inistration, there were 4,722 cars
loaded II the Fairmont district last
week. This is an average increase
per day over the previous week Oh
III cars. While the loading figures
do mot disclose anything unusual they
do indicate. however, that there Is
sight inclination toward an increase.

MUCH AGITATION AT CAPITAL
FOR ASSISTANCE FOR MINERS

Press dispatches from Washington
say many appeals for government re-
lief are reaching the Senate mines
committee from Western producers OF
chrome, manganese and tungsten. who
say that in response to the govern
ment's appeal they invested large
amounts of money to increase the pro-
duction, and now find themselves un-
able to dispose of their stocks.
Senator Henderson of Nevada, the
chairman of the mines committee,
says most of these appeals have come
from the smaller producers, who de-
clare that unless some relief is pro-
vided many failures will result
The American Mining Congress will
meen in Washington next Monday and
Tuesday. and il promises to discuss
the matter.
