ON RECORD FOR DISARMAMENT

The League Assembly at Geneva
on the 14th went on record as fav-
oring the limitation or armaments
by the powers for the next two
years by agreement among them.
The first step for disarmament of
the nations must be cautious and
deliberate the assembly of the
League of Nations decided Dec. ia,
not withstanding sharp criticisms
by George Nicoll Barnes. the Brit
ish labor leader and Christian
Lang, of Norway. Mr.. Barnes said
there was "too much quibble and
not enough pluck" in the decision
to 60 slowly.
The policy of the United States
on this question was, by more or
less yelled illusions. invoked as one
reason why general disarmament
canot be boldly grappled with at
this time, Mr.. Barnes said. H. A.
l.. Fisher, of the British delegation
referred to nations with powerful
arms and munitions making facili-
ties that still are outside of the
League"

CORNWElL DECLINES DEBATE.

Giving three specific reasons why
he cannot engage in bubble debate
Governor Cornwcll, Thursday an
swered the challenge from the New
York Socialist Party to such a de-
bate with Seymour Stedman, one
of the Socialist leaders.
The chief executive declares, first
that he does not have the time for
4 debate; second, that he could not
accept compensation, and third that
the assumption upon which the
challenge was based is without truth
His statement follows:
The letter from the Socialists
contained the statement that the
proposed discussion was to be on
the causes Of strikes and the duties
iof public officials toward them.
THE letter dated the 11th, furth-
or contained the following:
IF YOU decide to accept this in
vitation We agree to hire and paw
Ill expenses, hall rent, advertising,
etc. and in addition pay you $500.
for your services and expenses, we
reserving the right to charge ad-
mission"
Governor CornwelrS reply was:
Il cannot accept your invitation
for q joint discussion with Mr..
Stedman for several reasons:
First, my term Of office expires
March 4th, 1921, and, with the ses-
sion of the Legislature approaching
am very busy making prepara-
tions for 1t.
Second, l could not agree to
accept a fee Of 10000 or any other
sum, nor would speak at a meeting
where admission was charged.
Third, your invitation is based
upon the assumption that am op-
posed to labor organizations and to
undonization Of industries. That is
not correct. am now and have
always been in favor of collective
bargaining. However, | am not a
believer of instituting it in a nom
union field by force any more than
| am i'll favor of Chrisiianizing
pagans with Il machine gun. 1t is
my duty TO preserve law and order
In this State while | am Governor
and that | am trying TO do. have
no authority or power to compel
the operators in non-union coal
fields to accept the union."

MAN KILLS WIFE AND HIMSELF.

Harry Grimes. aged 80 years. a
member of one of the oldest families
in Pocahontas, shot and killed his
wife ut Haywood last Saturday and
then in turn killed himself.
The wife was slip Of IL girl be-
tween sixteen and seventeen and
came from Wayncsville, in the
mountains Of North Carolina. She
had been there last summer but
came to Pocahontas and went to
housekeeping in the woods back of
Dunmore where the husband was
working as woodsman. The couple
disagreed mainly on the ground
of neglect and failure to support
the wife. Mrs. Grimes seems to
have left her husband and came TO
haywood to the home of Hidy
Sprousc, and said that she wanted
10 work for someone until she could
get money enough to pay for a
ticket to North Carolina.
Shortly after Grimes came to
haywood on the hunt of his wife.
Tic seemed to be somewhat under
the influence of liquor and he told
man that he was either going to
bring his wife home or he would
kill himself.
about supper time he appeared
IN the house of Sprousc and told
his wife TO get her suitcase and
come with him. This she refused
10 90. He repeated the command
three times and she refused three
times. He then drew revolver
and shot her three times from
which wounds she died within two
hours.
drlmes then went out to the rear
OF The premises and shot himself
through The temple.

DEMPSEY. Y-.BRENNAN,

Jack Dempsey retained the chani4
pionship Of the world by knocking
out Bill Brennan, of Chicago, in
the twelfth round at Madison
Square Garden, New York, one
night last week, but Jack knew he
he'd been in a fight, for Brennan
was a real fighter, a hearty giant
of exactly Dempsey's size-a little
less strong perhaps but not a whit
less couragageous. He was foe
who stood foot TO foot with the
champion and slugged and pun
.'nelled with never a thought of fear
md rarely backward step. Indeed
most of the back-stepping and
ciinching was done by Dempsey,
tho he seems to have gotten a little
the best of most of the rounds. The
end came in the twelfth round when
Dempsey got in a right hook to the
heart followed by left to the
stomach which sent Brennan to the
floor for the count tho he was soon
on his feet again. Tex Rickard
had arranged the bout for the sum
Of $135,O00 of which Dempsey was
guaranteed win or lose 500, 900:
brennan $35, In this bout Demp
sey won $2,222.20 per minute for
The full as minutes.

CENSUS OF FREEMAsoNs,

according to a report Just pub
ilshed there are 40 Grand Masonic
jurisdictions. throughout the world
forty-ninc of which are in the Unit
cd States Of America, thirty-five in
IN Europe, twenty-onc in Central
america, fifteen in South America,
nine in Canada, seven in Australia,
three in Africa and one in Oceania
tPhillippincs.) At the time of The
completion Of this census these
grand lodges exercised jurisdiction
over 26,809 subordinate lodges and
55,l52619 members, but both these
'tgures have since been consider
ably augmented. 1t is not without
significance that, although from
IVA to 1913 the nine Grand Lodges
In the German Empire showed a
slight increase Of twenty-nine in
inc number Of private subordinate
lodges, there was q decrease in the
total membership Of 500, the ONLY
country in the world where a de-
crease was recorded. In all other
Masonic jurisdictions an increase
was reported.

CHASED The WRONG NAN.

Il. y. Garrett, travelling salesman
of Danvillc, Virginia, proved more
than a match Saturday night for q
handful of revenue agents. Garrett
driving car, thought highwaymen
were holding him up, when the
headlights of machine in the road
blazcd out revealing several men
signaling him TO stop. He gave the
engine gas and whirled but soon
realized he was being pursued.
The pursuers' called on him to
hait but still believing footpads
were after his money he forged his
machine ahead of the officers who
finally fired several shots at him.
Garrett turning round emptied his
revolver at the car Of the officers,
and the chase ended. At Reidsyille
Garrett was intercepted by a tele-
phone message, and was told he had
slightly wounded one of several
Federal agents who wished TO
search his truck for liquor. Garrett
was released as soon as il was
found there was no liquor on his
truck.

While hunting on Little Laurel
Greek recently, when out about four
miles from Redwood says the
fleetwood Republican, a party of
hunters discovered a man in the
woods in a half frozen condition
and suffering with a fractured leg.
The man proved to be awoodsman

Of age. and halls from Pennsyf-

route from the log camps over in
Pocahontes county, in trayersing
bypath, he fell and broke his leg
and consequently was unable to
proceed further. Had it not been
for the accidental discovery by the
hunters, the woodsman would most
assuredly have perished, as he was
miles from any settlement and in
territory that was little frequent

GREATEST POWER PROJECT.

Application by the Southern
California Edison Company for a
permit to develop the largest hy-
dro-electric power project in the
United States, which eventually
will develop 100000 horsepower
from the waters of the Colorado
river, has been accepted by the
Federal Power Commission at
Washington, according to tele-
gram which John B. Miller, Presi-
dent of the Company, announced
he had received December 21st.
The Company plans to make the
electric energy available in Cali.
fornia, Utah. Arizona, Nevada and
Colorado.
In connection with his announce
ment, Mr.. Miller said: "The cleo
trio energy which could be gener-
ated from the power sites on-the
river covered by the application is
equal to the total hydro-electric de-
velopment in the II Western States
at the beginning of 1920. Incident
to the project is the establishment
of q uniform flow Of the Colorado
river, which virtually would elimi-
nate season:! floods. The storage
basin will be more than 200 miles
in length, impounding more than
40,00O,000 acre-fcet of water. The
total possible hydro-clectric deveI-
opment of the Colorado river is
equal TO one-half the total hydro
electric power now generated in
the entire United States"

the most severe experienced in
South America since 1869, when
half the city of Mendoza was laid
in ruins. Reports from the areas
where the shock was heaviest in
dicatc great loss Of life & property
upwards of $50 bodies having been
already taken from the wrecks Of
buildings.
AT Tresportenas, more than 100

thirty more were killed.
1t is feared that more victims
still are buried under the ruins in
each town. AT the former, La

IRISH CITY SUFFERS SEVERE DAMAGE,

A good part of the City of Cork,
ireland, was burned OH the 18th.
The conflagration followed an
ambush OF the British military at
PhillonS Cross the night before in
which four persons were killed and
many wounded.
Three civilians were taken from
their houses and shot dead after
the ambtsh of the military. Then
The fires started. There were
bomb explosions and firing also
was heard. The populace was
panic stricken.
The municipal buildings. the Car
negie library and the Corn Ex-
change which cover large area,
have been consumed by flames,
which We're SO hot ut places that
passing tram cars were set on fire.
A group of public buildings on
Albert Quay, were also burned, as
well as private residences in var
ious parts of the city.
Early estimates place the damage
al between 100000 and 5000, 900
pounds sterling.
The fires extended to St. Patrick's
street from Cook street to MAYORS
street and swept entire rows of
buildings on both sides of Win
ihrop street leading from st. Pat
rick's street to Old George street.
In the meantime Parliament has
passed another Home Rule bill but
it is not likely that the Sim Feiners

pendent Irish Republic will be sat

William Bowen, of West Charles

cal world in that all of his internal
organs are, OH the wrong side.
Physicians say this occurs in not

taking the population Of the world
as a whole. Bowen has q lung all
mcnt, but this has nothing to do
with the misplaced organs, his
health having been practically
that Of normal man until the de-
velOpment of tuberculosis.
The X-ray showed that the stom-
ach was OH the opposite side from
what it should be; that the liver
was on the left instead of the right;
that an incision would have to be
made ON the left side to get at
Bowcn's vcrmiform appendix, and
that various other organs were out
Of position.
Doctors say that such q; trans
formation is due to rotation in the
wrong direction during the first few
weeks of the formation of the un-
born child. Bowen is expected to
recover from tuberculosis.

FEET OF TIMBER USED ANNUALLY.

Enactment of Federal law
providing for Federal cooperation

points out that about 10000, 100000
cubic feet of wood are taken an
nually and only about 6,OOO,O0O.-
900 cubic feet are being grown.
lie says that two thirds of the orig
inal forests of the United States
have been cullcd, cut over or burn
cd and thrcc-iifths of their mer-
chantablc timber is gone. He says
that the area Of idle land is being
increased by from 100000 to a.
OOO,OOO acres annually. Unless this
is stopped the nation will soon be
dependent for the bulk of it's con-
Struction lumber upon forests of
the Pacific coast, he adds.

SOLDIER MEMORIAL.

relative to a State Memorial for w.
Va, soldiers.
1t has been suggested that a mil
lion dollar memorial building be
erected at Morsantown on the State
University grounds but it is oppos-
cd by the majority Of committee
members who feel that the memorial
should be erected in a more CEN
trally situated city us Charleston
Or Huntington.
Because Charleston is the State
Capital and because it is more cen
trally located, it appears that the
Memorial will likely be located
there.
