.SLEEPERS BY SUNDAY
Figure on Running Pitts
burgh Train Through
to Charleston.

Plans are being worked out by the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company
to run train to Charleston at night
and the probability is that the train,
which arrives here from Pittsburgh at
9:20 o'clock will most likely be con-
tinued straight through instead Of re-
naming in Fairmont. Local people
have made this suggestion. which the
railroad officials had previously in
mind. After the operating end OF the
road makes several decisions more
definite plans will be arrived at.
According to information received
In Baltimore effort will be made to
place additional Pullman car space
on train a out of Fairmont next week.
The plan is to give Fairmcnt twice as
much space in the sleeper as 1t for
merly had. The company figures on
putting on a is section car at Clarks-
burg which will care for the needs OF
Clarksburg and Grafton. The delay
in this service has been due to the in.
ability to secure the Pullman coaches.

The Warrington Interest
Brought ] Walter Barnes
Into Conference.

J. Walter Barnes. state fuef ADMIN
istrator, WAS in Pittsburgh yestcr1taa
attending meeting OF the United
States fuel administration at which
natural gas problems we're discussed.
Muncie City. Fairmount. Hartford
City and riverside, cities Of Indiana,
were represented.
Manufacturers from Muncie City,
Ind, appeared before Director Gregory
in an effort to have natural gas sup.
piled to them. The concensus Of opin-
ION was that the gas should not be
given to the manufacturers for prob
ably 30 days longer, the domestic
consumer given the preference until
that tine. It was the opinion Of those
assembled that the natural gas has
been more plentiful this year than at
any time during the past four or five
years.
Mr.. Barnes became interested in
the matter because of inquiry to Sc
cure natural gas for Mannington
manufacturers. The cities interested
received gas from the Reserve Gas
Company, Of West Virginia; which
furnishes parershurg, st. Mary's,
Sistersville and Warrington and Ger.
tain cities in Ohio; the Central un-
ion Gas Compay Of Onhio and the
Central Indiana Gas Company of In

THREE ARRESTED ON
36-NOUR ACT CHARGE
Mayor Put One Prisoner at
Work Fixing the Cren-
atol,y Road.

Three negroes arrested on vagrancy
charges, all Of whom were picked up
by Officers Holt and Hawkins in the
victnily OF the Billy May joint on
Water street last night were UP in
police court this morning to answer
to the charge preferred against them.
John Hennesy, who claimed he was
from Cincinnati, stated that he was
not working and could not procure
work. When asked by the mayor If he
were married he proudly produced his
marriage license together with bunch
of love missives which he said were
from his wife who was visiting her
parents in Montgomery. Ala, all of
which were we'll wrapped in wrapping
paper.
John Fulton, who maintains q sort
of boarding house on Water street,
stated that he, too, was anxious to se-
cure work but could not find any to do.
He is husky negro weighing 100
pounds. He made loud protestations
to the mayor that he would reform
from this on and would not be found
in bad company or loafing again. The
mayor turned the man over to Sani-
tary Officer Carl Kern with orders to
put the negro to work on the road
leading to the crematory at the same
time telling the negro that If he did
not turn up for work they would land
him back in jail.
Son Hamilton when arraigned be-
fore the mayor said he had not work
ed for the past four months as he was
not able. The mayor asked him what
he did for a livelihood and he stated
that he played pool. When the mayor
nailed him with the statement that
pool playing was not lucrative busi-
ness the negro stated that he played
a freeze out game of pool and his part
OF the pay was fifty-fifty with the
house. Mayor Bowen held him as well
as the Alabama coon for further evi.
dence and remanded them back to the
city jail.

OTTAWA, Canada, Feb. is. - Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, former Premier OF
Canada, died here of paralysis yester-
day afternoon.
Sir Wilsred Lanrier was the first
French Canadian premier OF Canada,
and one OF the most able statesmen
and orators the dominion has pro.
dnced. He held the post from 1895 to
1911, longer than any other premier.
In that time he developed Canadian
initiative to point which gave her
greater independence of the British
government than ever before though
strengthening sympathetic and COM
mercial ties with the British. Cana
dian industry and railroad building
prospered under his government, but
his retirement came when measures
for trade reciprocity with the United
States were defeated.

ing, and wound up with decision BY
the House to call the report submitted
by Chairman Moore. "The Report" in
stead of THE Majority Report"
The fight started when Delegates
Richards, OF Ohio county, who submit
ted the so-called minority report yes.
terday, moved to correct the journal
by striking out the word majority" as
1t referred to the report signed by
eight members of the committee. He
declared that 1t was not majority re-
port, because one OF its signers, Dele
gate McCauley, did not concur in ali
the findings Of the other seven and
had added an explanatory note to thet
effect. That, he said. really made three
reports, two Of which were signed
each by seven members.
Chairman Moore. Of the Judiciary
committee, opposed the correction. de.
claring that although Mr. McCauley
had not coneuTred in all the findings,
he had agreed on the principal point
at issue that there was sufficient evi-
dence to proceed with impeachment.
Delegate Anderson supported Mr.
Richards, declaring that there we're
three reports.
1want to be pleasant about this
matter" said Chairman Moore. taking
the floor again. "But do not propose
that the members of this House shall
be bamboozled any further in these
proceedings on a false statement OF
facts. The report submitted is a
majority report. Our Supreme Court
judges sign opinions sometimes and
add notes that they do not concur in
all the findings, but do agree with the
principal point at issue. The nom
bers Of the minority gave no reasons
for submitting their report. ! do not
know whether 1t was because they did
not have the nerve but anyway they
didn't"
Speaker Wolfe called attention to
parliamentary rules. which said that
there was no such thing as a majority
report. "1t is the report" said the
speaker. The House then voted to
make the correction asked by Mr.
Richards.
