The only thing that is known OF the
Harrison county tribe was brought
to Fairmont few years ago by
Baltimore and Ohio Fireman. He was
firing a passenger locomotive run
ming between Falrmont and Grafton
and one day becoming tired, got off to
walk around while, planning to cut
across hill or two and wait for his
train a mile or two further on. In
some manner he lost his way and for
three days and nights wandered over
Harr' son county. He stumbled upon
Clarksburg by accident and lay under
bush near the city for some time
watching the antics of the inhabi-
tants. They beggar description" he
said when asked to describe the oeo-
pie. iIe was broken man when he
reached Fairmont and while sitting IN
the station waiting for the arrival of
his train, did nothing but tremble a.
the memories of his horrible exper-
fences. The members of his crew.
when they arrived took him back to
Grafton where he died a few days
later, his secret being buried with
him.
In 1917 an expedition was organic
ed quietly to explore Clarksburg, hi;
on reaching Ziezing was driven back
by horde of bootleggers.
The West virginian's expedition
starts at daybreak tomorrow. With
stout hearts the little band of fear
less men will plunge into a black
ness OF ignorance as great as that
which enveloped Columbus when hi
passed out of sight of the Spanish
coast.

Yesterday the Eighth Kentucky congressional district
eecteda Republican the first time in rs years. The
successful candidate, King Swope, returned soldier
and that have had something to do with the result
but the real moral of the incident that the Republican
tide which set in about this last year and resulted
in the election of Republican maorites in both houses of
congress last fall is still at full flood.

Is Chief Concern, and
Bonus Issue Is Next:
What Posts Are Doing

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.--Franklin
D'Olier, national commander of the
American Legion and several state
commanders, will 60 into conference
tomorrow with officials Of the Bureau
Of War Risk Insurance to arrange a
program Of cooperation for the cutting
Of red tape and reduction of delays in
the handling of insurance and other
claims of war veterans.
The conference, which will continue
three days, was called by r. G.
Chomeley Jones director of the War
Risk Insurance Bureau. The confcrees
will include Surgeon General Rupert
B'ue, of the Public Health Service, and
officials of the Federal BOARD for
Vocational Education, which nstitu-
ton has come in for even more caustic
criticism from war veterans than the
War Risk Bureau.
The purpose o the conference. as
stated by MIR. Jones. is to consider all
complaints brought up in resolutions
adopted by the American Legion in its
national convention at Minneapolis
last month
"Closer cooperation Of the most prac-
tical character between the bureau and
he soldier organizations will be
sought" said Mr.. Jones. "Dissemina-
tion of instructions as to how claims
may be made complete, and needless
correspondence eliminated. is one Of
he objects of the conference"
The Legion conferoes will meet mem
bers Of Congress at an informal recep-
ion at the Capital Tuesday evening.
The Legion is on record as favoring the
immediate passage of the Sweet bill.
providing for increased compensation
to disabled veterans. and for extension
Of rights under the insurance plan
nd the Wason bill, giving the War
Risk Bureau the right to establish
Ncgional Offices and advertise. The

Of the organization. The Tribune
asked last week in this column for ex-

Tavors $40 a Month

with regards to loaning veterans
money with which to buy frams, am
opposed for the reason that it would
benefit a compa ratively small number.
On the other hand, | am opposed to
the idea of lending money to the men
to buy homes, because it would un-
doubtedly cause wild speculation in
real estate.
"The hest plan would be to give
each man $50 month for each
month served with the colors. in the
form of government bonds. With the
average man familiar with Liberty
bonds. and most of the service men
are, this idea should appeal. inasmuch
as the bonds would be an investment,
bearing interest, which in case Of
necessity might be converted into cash.
