WANT CITY TO AID
HEALTH CAMPAIGN
President Lively, Of the Ro-
tary Club. Has Prom
Used to Help.

Dr.. Jewett, an attache Of the
Charleston office Of the Public Health
service, was in the city yesterday on
some very important business. Dr..
Jewett visited the mayor and others
in authority. Including doctors and
placed before them the governments
plan toward establishing detention
rooms in every city to. take care OF the
venereal disease situation.
There is no. 6iaS In Fairnpnt
where sufferers cam be kept until
cured. At Fairmont hospital treat
nent will be given, but this instttu-
tion will not provide room where pa
tients may stay. There Is no matter
of greater Importance, says DR.. Jewett,
and it is now desired that the public
understand to the extent that they
will be willing to provide such de.
tention home. The president OF the
Rotary club, H. g. Lively, has prom.
Used cooperation from the community
standpoint and will call q meeting OF
heads of organizations to get the mat
ter on some sort of working basis.
Ensign O'Beirne has two detention
rooms which are being maintained by
the county court but these rooms will
not be used to house venereal suffer
ers. The detention rooms there are
for the purpose Of holding juvenile de-
linquents until they can be taken to
the Industrial school.

BENEFIT SHOW At
PRINCESS TODAY
Proceeds to Go to Taking
Care of the Needy.
Sick.

A western picture Is being shown
today ut the Princess theater called
Sandy OF the U-Bar-U." All pro-
ceeds except cost OF running the pic
ture VIII go to the charity sick Of this
city. Mrs, Anthony Bowen has charge
OF these proceeds and Is hoping that
her many friends and acquaintance
will respond nobly to the cause.
Theer Is a gerat need for funds to
pay for operations and nurses and for
hospital room at this time, and many
seriusly sick patients cannot have the
care they should without help from
others. 1t is very difficult to know
actual conditions in the city without
much untirirg labor, which requires
that some one have plenty OF time
to visit the needy. Usually the peo-
pie who deserve help the most are
slowest about making their helpless
condition known, and sometimes they
die because there is no one to look
after them properly.
Mrs. Bowen has taken an unusual
interest in the charity sick for many
years and has devoted many hours to
their interests. Because of this she
is constantly called upon to determine
what shall be done with some poor,
suffering mortal. A great deal OF
money is necessarily needed in the
placing Of them where they will re-
ceive god care.
The picture will continue until late
this evneing. II you cannot find time
to attend, at least go over and buy a
ticket and do very small part to-
ward helping the truly worthy and
the most helpless Of all sufferers. the
charity sick.

Overloaded Gents viii
Have to Invent a New
One, Mayor Says.

at police court this morning Ray
Fortney, white, and Polk Allen, COZ
ored, appeared on charges of loafing
about the B. & o. tracks. The men
had tramped some distance, they said,
looking for work. The white boy said
his parents didn't know wheer he was
and the may or ordered that he write
home at once. He dismissed them on
conditino that they get jobs immedi-
ately. Promises came readily enough.
F. G. Ball was fined SIS for being
drunk.
Glen Parker, old offender, and
Charley Whiteides sat next On the
bench. On the table in front of them
stood two pints Of whiskey. Refresh
ments, however, were not served, but
insteand how the drinks got there
was explained by Parker in this man
ner: II was walking down Jackson
street when a man stopped me and
said, DO you want some whiskey?'
The mayor stopped the tale at this
juncture and said seriously: "I'm
tired Of that story: you all tell the
same. Now you two men know where
you got that whiskey and can do right
and get the man who gave it to you.
Both of you have got ordinary good
sense and you'd have to be imbeciles
not to know where wou were going
and why. You are protecting some
one and are therefore criminals. The
law is all wrong. You fellows who
buy ought to be punished just as
much as those who sell. Nobody
would be selling IL there wasn't some
oen to buy"
The men finally started on new
lien fthouht and admitted that they
both started at Cranes drug store,
each taking separate pathways, whitN
wound up at the milk dairy on Cleve-
land avenue. They had q pint apiece,
but in their pockets was $26 between
them. They were held under $40 fine
apiece for further investigation.
There were some conjecturing after
they left as to whether the whiskey
left on the table was genuine or not.
Several tried shaking 1T and finally
the cork was removed and the con-
tents smelled. cts the real stun, /"
said Policeman Borgess..
Take it out somewhere and pour
1t out" directed the mayor, "unless
you want to take it over to the pros
ecuting Attorney" It was suggested
by several present that Boggess and
others who secroted him for the pour
ing be supplied with chaperon.

100 BOYS N BIG
TREASURE HUNT
Paul Allan Was the First
Lad to Reach the
Hiding Place. +.

Paul Alban was the lucky man il
the big treasure hunt held yesterday
by the boys department OF the Y. n
G. A. The trail which led TO the treas
ure was long and hot one, and after
three miles Of running the boys came
putting in. Paul Ealdn was leading
the line and Paul Alban was close on
his heels, but Paul Alban was able to
locate the treasure first and therefore
got the coveted membership to the
"Y.' Paul Eakin was also awarded
membership, as it was he who led
the hunters over the trail from the be
ginning, and the others for the most
part did little more than follow after
his heels.
Promptly at 4 o'clock 100 hunters
LETT the ny in search Of the treasure
and followed a trail which led out
Cherry avenue and cut over the hills
and through the woods until 1t finally
ended in the woods across from the
Courtney residence. The day was
very hot, and so anxious were the lads
to get the treasure that they ran most
Of the way and surely were a sorry
looking sight when they reached the
end. The leaders foresaw what would
happen and had two big cans Of ice
cold lemonade waiting for the boys,
which greatly. refreshed them.
After the boys had eaten their lunch
several games were played, until
campfire time. Then q large campfire
was hndled and the program started,
with Joe Conley acting as chairman,
Rev. John Brown was present and
talked about his war experiences with
the army. He told the boys about the
U-boat drills and torpedoing ships,
how It felt to be in the front lines. etc.
He also described how hard granades
were thrown and told OF the big peace
celebration in Paris. The talk was
very interesting and the boys enjoyed
it greatly.
Rev. Brown had some French coins
In his pocket, and the boys did the
leg wrestling contest for them. Paul
Eakin, not being satisfied with the
treasure, won these also.
The rain which started In the evan.
ing interfered with the fun somewhat
but the boys were able to get home
without getting very vet.
The event was planned and directed
by Bernard s. Mason, the boys secre.
tary Of the "Y."

The soldier testified for the first
time this morning. His name Is Mike

than any OF the witnesses so far. He
exclaimed very, near tears that God
knew he would tell II he knew any9
thing. Attorney Haggerty suggested
that he refrain from trying to proye
too much by God. His story was to
the effect that he merely went to the

sat down few moments while he wait

knew nothing about the fight wfatso-

.MORGANT0WN TO GET
.R.R. TO WAYESBURG
Arrangements Completed
for Construction of
M. and w. r. r.

MoRGANToWN April l6-Arrange
ments have been completed for The
construction OF tho Morgantown and
Wheeling railway line from Blackvilie
this county to Waynesburg. Pennsyl-
yania. The project has been financed
and the contract for the actual con-
strlction OF the road will be let within
. short tine. Thsi announcement. was
made by Raymond E. Kerr of this City
receiver for the Morgantown and
Wheeling in this state.
For the purpose Of building the e1-
tension from Blackyille to Waynee.
burg, the Morgantown and Wheeling
Railway company Of Pennsylvania has
been incorporated. This compang has
been financed and has acquired the
WaynesoIrg and Blacisville company,
which .,wns the right Of way between
the two towns. In fact, the grading
of the road-bed is practically finished.
The grading was done originally with
q view to the operation Of electric cars
and few changes will be made, but
these are not Of great consequence,
considering the work already done. An
engineer is now at work making the
necessary changes.
The line between Morgantown and
Blacksville is now in operation, though
there is still considerable work to be
done on It before 1t is in good shape.
The track between Price and Blacks
vile was laid down but never complet-
ed. The line now in operation between
Blacksville and Brave, an extension Of
the Morgantown and Wheeling, will
be branch line when the Morgantown
to Waynesburg road is finished. The
Brave limo is being used now for the
transportation Of coal, machinery, sup
plies and gasoline.
