RIVER RECEDES
CREST e FEET
Navigation Below Dam IT Suspended
Until wtckets are Inspected

The crest Of the rise in the Ohio was
reached early yesterday morning when
the stage was Just under twenty-nnc
feet. The river is now falling rapidly.
and registered twcnty-seven feet at 6
O'Clock last night.
The river is considered unsafe for
navigation below dam II because OF
tho condition of dams II. IS and Il.
These dams were caught by the fresh
cts from the small streams along that
part Of the river, and the wickcts could
not be lowered. The L. S. engineers in
this district have issued n statement
warning ali rivcrmcn OF the state OF
affairs nj these points and no boats Will
pass while the river is falling. 1t Is
expected that the dams Will be undam-
aged by the rise but no information
can bc received until the water rcccd"s
sufficiently to lower the wickets. In
the meantime no shipping VIII pass
these points.
The statement given out by the en-
ginecrs office is as follows: -. w.
Wheeling w. Va,
November 20, 1917.
TO ALL CONCERNED:
The wiCkctS at Dams No. II. IL ana

tho present quick rise and. except when
the depth Of water over the wicKcts
allows bO8tS to 20 over the dams,

be operated. The wickets Will be low
cred as soon as possible after the river
rrcCdcS. but in the m"anwhtl" All naNl-
gators arc warned not to attempt to
operate boats past the dams in qucs-
ton without having knowledge thar
such operation is safe.

warning issued after the attempted
march in September that any repe-
tition of the demonstration would be
regarded as instruction against the
government and treated as such, and
the counsel of the more conservative
of the miners, might be effective in
causing the men to adopt other meas
ures.
The seriousness of the situation was
revealed today through a message
from Governor CornweiI to John l..
Lewis, president of teh United Mine
Workers of America, in which he
charged that second armed invasion
of the Guyan fields was contemplated.
He charged also that arms and am
munition had been distributed among
the miners and that there had been
talk of taking over control of the
government. The message was in
answer to dispatch from Mr.. Lewis
in which he said he would not press
for federal investigation of the Guyan
fields at this time. The governor in
his message said he had no objection
to congressional investigation and
would welcome it.

you sick and cannot salivate.
Children and grown folks can take

Germany will leave France alone,

Sheriff Holt of this county looks at

of returning to Newport with a peni-
Tertiary amount of moonshine liquor
that is, more than three gallons. A
recently retired farmer and the son
of another big farmer, a nephew of
the first mentioned were brought to
Newport and lodged in Jail. The
father of the sun is also said to be
implicated in the violations in con-
nection with his brother and son who
were arrested. A peculiar part of
this tragedy of the moonshine hills
was the further fact that in the group
of smugglers was found an officer, a
constable of one of the big districts
of this county. who was contentedly
seated in the car with big jug be-
tween his feet. He is likewise under
indictment.

English Cabinet
Unlikely to Quit
House of Commons May Re-
consider Adverse Vote.

LONDON, Oct. 2S.-Polit;cal ex-
pefts and the editorial utterances in
the newspapers few mornings ago
generally \express, the view that no
one expects the government to re-
sign as a result of the adverse vote
in the house of commons last Thurs
day. The incident, however, is re-
garded as giving the administration
severe shock, repetition of which
it could hardly survive.
The vote is generally described as
an assertion of the independence of
the house of commons and a deter
mination to reassert the supremacy
which the commons surrendered to
the cabinet during the war. More
than 100 supporters of the coalition,
among whom Sir Edward Carson was
conspicuous, voted against the gov
ernment. These represer' ed the in
tense anti-alien feeling prevailing
among the conservative coalition.
1t is believed in some quarters that
the government on Monday will ask
the house to reconsider the vote and
in view of certain circumstances the
house may comply. These circum-
stances concern the convention en-
tered into between Great ritain and
France in 1918, in which it was
agreed that French pilots might bring
French ships into certain English
ports and that English pilots should
be granted reciprocal privilege in
French ports 1t is contended that
unless the houses revises the recent
vote the government will incur the
reproach of treating the compact as
"a scrap of paper"
To this anti-alien reply is that the
convention was concluded secretly
and that information about it was
only dragged from a reluctant gov
eminent during the debate.
The ministerial council, under the
presidency of Premier Lloyd George,
discussed the political situation this
