GAS BILL IS PASSED

CHARLESTON, Feb 1.-THE
West Virginia legislature today
passed the buck" to the gas inter-
ests of the state when the senate
passed the Steptoe gas measure by
vote Of 10 to 10, concurring in the
action of the house of delegates and
making the measure within the power
Of the legislative body.
The bill, which has for its purpose
the conservation Of natural gas, is
now ready for the signature of Gov
ernor Cornwell Just what the fate
Of the measure with the chief ex-
cutive is not known since he has not
been sounded out on the matter.
Since both houses passed by the bill
by good majorities it is believed that
the measure will ultimately become
law, making it compulsory for the
gas producers of the state to fur
nish West Virginia consumers in
preference to others outside the
state.

EXPRESS PACKAGES PLAINLY
MARKED.

A better service campaign will be
undertaken by the $4,000 men and
women employed in the express bust
ness, for the purpose of raising the
standards of packing, wrapping and
marking express shipments. Ship
pers are requested to carefully pack
their shipments and mark them plain
ly in two or more places in order
that the consignees name and des-
tination can be plainly seen and read
by all employees handling it is also
suggested that shippers place their
name and address on slip of paper
and enclose it on the inside of the
package as a further means Of i
Identifying what is known as the
mo mark" shipments.
The hearty cooperation Of all ship
pers and express employees is need
ed to bring about satisfactory re-
suits and curb the evil which caused
25,500 shipments per month last year
to go to the mo mark" bureaus
maintained by the company simply
because these shipments had no
marks by which they could be iden-
titled by, consequently the consignee
was disappointed, and the shipper
put to considerable expense and wor-
ry in getting pay for his goods. 1t
is not the intention of the express
company to place the responsibility
wholly on the shipper is it is an evil
dent fact that the average express
man can make wonderful improve
ments in his way OF handling ex-
press shipments and prevent many
shipments from being damaged in
transit. The golden text of the a.
bove article is "The hearty cooper
alton of all concerned spells grand
success at every turn

CONGRESS PAYS
TRIBUTE TO I. r.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.--In sol
cnnn service withiL the House chamb-
CIR to day the nations leaders and
representatives of foreign Govern
ments paid tribute to the memory
Of Theodore Roosevelt. Members Of
Congress, Supreme Court Justices,
members Of the Cabinet, Army and
Navy officers, and diplomats of many
nations heard Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge Of Massachusetts, praise
Roosevelt as statesman and man.
In the section Of the gallery re-
served for the members Of the family
were Mrs, Nicholas Longworth,
daughter Of the former President:
Mrs. Douglas Robinson, sister,
Brigadier General MeCawley, u. S.
M. 9. former aide to President Roose-
welt, and Mrs. McCawley.
The spublic galleries were crowded
with men and women, and the throng
that could not gain admission testi-
fled to the personal feelings for the
man whose death shocked the world.
1t was this to which Senator Lodge
referred when he said in the stiffness
of the House chamber.
"A tower is, fallen, star is setl
Alasl Alas! for Celin.
THE words of lamentation from
the old Moorish ballad, which in
boyhoood we used to recite, must. |
think, have risen to many lips when
the world was told Theodore Roose-
welt was dead But whatever the
phrase, the thought was instant and
everywhere Z
1T would seem that here was
man, private citizen, conspicuous
by no office, with no glitter of pow
er about him, no ability to reward
or punish, gone from earthly life,
who must have been unusual even
among the leaders of men. and who
thus demand our serious considera-
ton"
Mr.. Lodge outlined the life of the
man who came to play such a big
part in the nations life. With deli
cate health and near-sightedness in
childhood, he became by sheer hard
work an athlete and rife shot. He
spoke Of how Roosevelt persisted in
the unusual; how he made himself a
national figure in one year.
Senator Lodge was the only speak
er. Prayers by the Senate and
House chaplains and anthems and
patriotic hymns by the Marine Band
added to the stirring spiritual nature
of the services.

ranging from 10 to Is yrs. A total
term aggregating 100 years. They
were tried at time when public
sentiment was abnormal-its abnor-
rnality poisoned the public press with
out prejudice and unbiased. There
are times when the forces of pub
lie sentiment and the press may
change prosecution into persecution
and it would appear that that there
was certain amount of persecution

Dear Sir:
1t was a great shock to me to
hear of Harold's death. Shortly be-
fore noon on Monday he sent for nue.
and said he was not feeling well and
wanted me to get someone to finish
the day for him. After we had
made the arrangements, he again
sent for me and said he would finish
the day, as his throat was feeling
better and he was afraid someone
else would spoil his mule or would
get it hurt. Hearing Of his death
so soon after this was so hard to
believe and realize
Mr.. Cheneweth, we too will miss
Harold. To me, he was always will
ing, cheerful and respectful, a good
friend and to our company a valued
employee.
We extend to you and his mother
our heartfelt sympathy, and com
mend you to our Father on high, who
doeth all things well, whose ways,
tho mysterious are conceived in kind
ness and compassion May you be
by him in your sorrow.
Very sincerity,
