A report will be heard from the con-
vcntiOn committee on the Greater Wheel
ing election. Very few errors were
found IN the vote when the results were
canYaSSed.
These two questions are Of vital I'M
pOrtancc to the residents Of Greater
Wheeling. One takes care OF the MI
provcmcnts in Wheeling which have
sought for several years. In past years
severe opposition has always developed
before the day Of election and as a re-
suit issues have been put down. AT the
last bond election the voters turned IN n
good ma jority in favor OF the issue and
Wheeling as Il result will have all OF het
needed improvements.
City Manager Charles o. Ephlln stated
that he had all kinds OF offers for tho
bonds. Several OF the largest bonding
houses in the country have given h/h
assurance that there would be ready
sale for the bonds when they were or
fcrcd for sale. The state IT is under

Friedrichshuette. Although it has been
officially denied by the Germans, it is
common talk at Kattowitz that 15O per-
sons were shot in prison there.
The correspondents charge that not
only were all Poles caught with arms
shot without trial, in accordance with
proclamation Of State Commissioner
Hoersing, but that many unarmed per-
sons were shot Immediately after arrest.
Frequently they were strung up by
their hands for execution" :"
The correspondents assert, further
more, that the German government
threatened with deportation to France
those miners and foundry workers. who
had been thrown out of employment by
the employers lockout. "The German
governments object was, doubtless, to
remove large portion of the purely
Polish population from the district be-
fore the plebiscite took place." It is
