NEWS OF ALEXANDRIA
AND OTHER POINTS
Wife of Missing Truck Driver Be-
lieves He Is Victim of
Foul Play.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Dec. 13.-Alex-
andria merchants and manufacturers
are hopeful that the fuel restrictions
will be lifted here today, though up
to noon no word to that effect had
come from the fuel administration.
Merchants last night complied with
the conservation regulations by cut
ting out electric lights in show win
dows and reducing consumption OF
electric current so per cent At the
Alexandria gas plant this morning II
was stated that one car load of gas
coal had been received and with this.
and by drawing on their reserve sup
ply, il was hoped that the crisis would
pass before it would be necessary to
reduce the gas supply.
Officials of the Old Dominion Glass
Company expressed but little hope of
avoiding suspension of operations to-
day, though they are making every
effort to secure sufficient coal to keep
the plant going. Coal consigned to
them has been diverted to other
points, they stated.
A shut down at the two plants OF
this company would throw $50 men
and BOYS out OF employment for sew
eral weeks and indirectly would ef-
feet about 1000 persons. At the Of
fee of the Alexandria County Light
ing Company ii was said that no Of
fetal notice that the ban had been
lifted had been received.
Mrs Springman, wife of the miss
ing driver of delivery truck,
whose abandoned machine was found
near Four-Mile Run. Alexandria coun-
ty. early last Tuesday morning, has
abandoned hope that her husband is
alive and expresses the belief tha:
he was waylaid, robbed and murdered.
and that his body will eventually be
found secreted in the woods adjacent
to this city.
Mrs. Springman stated yesterday
that her husband had 5000 on deposit
in a bank in this city, and the fact
that this deposit is intact and he left

LOCAL FINANCIAL
and BUSINESS
GOSSIP

As means of stabilizing interna-
tional commerce and finance, Eugene
Meyer, jr., managing director of the
War Finance Corporation, today sug-
gested the opening of domestic finan-
cial markets to some of the internal
loans of England, France, Belgium,
and Italy
"A number of our bankers" Mr..
Meyer said, "have been placing the in
ternal loans of England, France. Italy
and Belgium with their investment
clientele in this country. My personal
inquiries would lead me to believe
that much larger amounts of Amer
lean capital would seek these invest
ments If broad public markets were
established in this country for these
issues
1T should be done with the approv-
al of the governments concerned and
with the usual safeguards to which
American investors are accustomed.
By this. mean properly engraved and
authenticated American certificates
representing deposit of the foreign
certificates here or abroad"
Mr.. Meyer pointed out that thus far
most of the foreign financiDG>in this
country had been done with dollar OBJ
legations or dollar obligations con-
vertible into the foreign currency OBJ
legation at fixed price. Easier
mechanism through the public mar
kets would permit many who would
like to invest in foreign obligations

as compared with Matching late will
enable the poultry keeper to receive

TRICK THE THIRSTY
SOUTH DAKOTA SLEUTHS TAKE
CAR NUMBERS AT TROSKY.

Pipestone, Mimi, Feb. 26.-The
authorities of the towns across the
line in South Dakota have worked
out a new scheme to catch persons
who buy liquor at Trosky, in this
county, and take it across the line in
to South Dakota.
Two detectives hired by the South
Dakota authorities, are making their
headquarters in Trosky. AS the nu-
merous South Dakota cars come into
the saloon town the detectives take
down their license numbers and by
reference to a license directory which
they have, they are enabled to tell
where the car belongs.
The men then telephone the sher-
iff in the county where the car Ii
owned and inform him that such anC
such a numbered car is in Trosky
The sheriff then proceeds to "lay" fol
the return of the car, and several biz
hauls of booze already have beer
made through this system. In on'
instance two men who were caugh
returning from Trosky were finet
1910 and the six quarts of whisk!
which they were carrying in thei'
car was taken from them.

Mine CONDITIONS
INFLUX OF MEN FROM BUTTE
HELPS BLACK HILLS
CONDITIONS.

Lead, Feb. 26.-Because of the in
from Butte, Mont, and other great
mining districts where labor trouble
is prevailing mining conditions in
this and other parts OF the Black
Hills again are becoming normal.
For the last year OF two the mines
of the Black Hills have been greatly
handicapped by a shortage of men
men we're drawn to other camps.
1t is believed that within 60 or 80
days mining conditions throughout
the Black Hills will reach the nor
NAL state prevailing before the war.
The Golden Star mill, in Lead, one
of the largest stamp mills in the west
again is dropping go stamps and
soon will have its full complement OF
200 stamps working. This mill was
forced to suspend operations last Oc=
tober. Other mills also are dropping
an increased number of stamps, and
the mining industry of the Hills one
more is taking on it's old time ac-
tivity.
The supply of labor for surface and
mill operations already is regarded
as normal, the only shortage still ex-
listing being in the underground
work, and that is confined to the
mining department. Most mines now
are supplied with an ample number
of shovelers, the only shortage beine
in miners. Many of the men who
are returning here from Butte anc
other districts of the west formerly
worked in Black Hills mines and are
familiar with mining conditions here
so they are valuable additions to thu
comparatively small working forces
which kept the mines going during
the acute shortage of labor.
A relic of early day Homestake OPP
erations is disappearing in the dis
mantling of the old Golden Star hois
at the head of the chief bushes
street of Lead, this hoist no longe
being needed by the Homestake com
pany.

OH, MAN!
lDENSE ENGLISHMAN COMPLAINS
OF THE DARING GARB OF
HIS FLO FLO FTANCEE.

Cleveland, O., Feb. 25.-Miss Rena
Parker, the little lady who plays the
big part in Flo Flo" the popular
Broadway musical comedy which is
now on the road, decided that she
preferred the stage to a country es-
tate in England. 1t seems that be-
fore her present engagement as a mu-
steal star Miss Rena had been a sort
of Mary Pickford picture of inno-
cence, one of the "just too cute for
anything kind Of girls.
1t was in this role that a certain
English lieutenant fell violently in
love with her. But came along the
war and separated them. He went
away to fight and Miss Parker went
into musical comedy. And, accord
ing to Lieut.. Combes, for that was
his name, the horrors of musical
comedy are far worse than the hor-
rors of war.
He decided this after a brief visit
to see his intended wife. He obtain
ed a brief leave of absence and has
tened to New York to behold the new
star. He arrived late one Afternoon
and instead of calling at her hotel ne
sent a note requesting her to look IN
the upper right hand box if she cared
to see the sender.
When she came to the stage sht
naturally looked as directed and was
delighted to see her lieutenant. Blu

al in no uncertain fashion and toda
