legislative program is up to Council aud
Charles B. Hall. Ware councilman
who led the fight against the admins
tration loan bill, was asked what his
attitude would be when the bill came
up for reconsideration.
My colleagues and myself will act
together in the best interests of the
city on any proposition that may be
submitted by the administration, he
said.
WegIein for Farley
Mr., Weglein is in favor Of parleying
with the Wares to have the bin passed.
that the administration constructive
program may be carried out. Mr.. Veg
lein will also take up the question OF
an extra session of Council to recon-
slider the bill. Hti.
lie says that If the loan bill is agreed
upon the meeting must be held this
week. since next Monday would be the
last day TO begin advertising the loan
bill to comply with the law that loans
must be advertised four weeks prior
to the election.
In discussing the defeat of the loan
bill Mr.. Weglein said:
II am in favor of having further dis
cussion because the constructive work
planned by the city is too great to 30
by the board, when perhaps calm dis
cussion free from rancor and partisan
ship might bring helpful results for the
city"
Mr.. Gaffney refused to discuss what
the Ware faction would demand in re-
turn for enough votes to pass the loan
bill If it is brought up for rcconsidcra-
ton.
Il have nothing to say and will not
have anything to say until have dis
cussed the matter with my colleagues"
said Mr.. Gaffney. 1--WE only asked for
things that were right, that's all we'll
ever ask"
Asked whether $500 900 for the
Packer and Bigler streets sewer and
an additional $500 900 for Fairgrounds
in the central part of the city would
satisfy the Wares, Mr.. Gaffney declared
that he could not answer for his friends
in Council.

Enthusiasm, for

Republican resigned and his place could
not b.; filled in time for the election.
Hughes's majority in that year was
270O. This was about the low water
mark for Republican strength in a ma
tional election, just at time when the
neighboring Republican tate Of Ohio.
with which the western part of West
Virginia has certain relation, went
Democratic.
Under these circumstances, in the
minds of those who know West Vfr-
ginia. It IL only a question Of how great
Senator Harding's majority here will
be. Estimates run from $4,000 to
a, 900. The highest previous Repub-
lican majority here, for Roosevelt, was
33 900.
Labor May Upset Calculations
Although this state votes as it does,
in some other states the German vote
can. The Polish and Slavic vote.
which IL large in the hills and mines.
ordinarily Democratic, is no again this
year. The Greek vote and the lark,
element In the working population Is
Republican as usual.
The big disturbing factor in West
Virginia politics is the labor vote, but
it is generally understood here that tho
West Virginia miners. being mostly
nonunion men. are largely supporting
Senator Harding.
Tn state politics, however. they are
creating trouble. The governorship
race is three sided. there being two Re-
publican candidates and one Democratic
candidate. The Republican primaries
developed n close fight between Z. r.
Morgan and Samuel Montgomery.
Montgomery, in early life a miner,
then a lawyer and now state. labor
commissioner, was the candidate Of the
labor element In the Republican pri-
maries. He was beaten by Morgan by
about 10000 votes. His labor sup
porters asserted that he had been
counted out and he has been nominated
independently for the governorship.
National Ticket Unscathed
This, It was at first supposed, would
insure the election Of Arthur Koontz,
the Democratic candidate for governor
but the incumbent. Cornwell. who is q
Democrat, has been extremely unpopu-
lar with labor, and Koontz has inherited
| all his weakness.
The contest has developed into one
| between Morgan, the regular Repub-
, lican candidate, who Is attracting the
support Of the conservative Democrats.
and Montgomery, who has the support
Of labor and the more radical ele-
ments Of both parties. The race be-
tween the two is close in the state.
This factionalism in the Republican
! party does not hurt the national ticket.
The bulk of Montgomery supporters
will give their votes to Harding. who
probably gains by having labor trying
to elect a Republican governor. There
may be difficulties ahead for the Re
publican party in West Virginia, as
there are in Illinois. Wisconsin. Iowa
and Indiana, but those difficulties do
not threaten this time. especially they
don't figure in the national election.
The industrial issue has become acute
here, as the unpopularity Of Governor
Cornwell's administration and the con
test in the Republican party indicate.

Sullivan's confession was made in
testimony taken by United States
Commissioner Gilchrist, during the

for negotiation obtained loans on them

Sullivan is under indictment and Il

According to Sullivan's testimony,
about 100000 worth of the stolen Sc
curitics came into his possession on
which he raised $3.50 900 and gave the
thieves S125,0OO. The stocks were
sold in small lots and at one fourth

in saloons, street corners and hotel
rooms in various cities.
Sullivan told of meeting with
Arnstcin and Cohen in Washington,

banks.
Federal and county officials here be-

have close to $2,OO0,0O0 of stolen Sc
curtics on hand but are not aware
OF the fact, owing to the ingenious
methods in disposing of them as col

COTrON CROPS ARE LATE

Columbia, May Commissioner
Harris has been making personal
survey Of the crop conditions in
South Carolina and offers some adj
vice to the farmers. Casually by the
middle Of April" says Mr.. Harris, we
find planting of cotton we'll under way
and indeed quite a lot of cotton above
ground This year, owing to the un-
usual weather, very little cotton has
been planted here or anywhere in the
cotton belt. Not over so per cent of
the average crop has been planted
& and {. great deal of the land is yet
Mto be prepared for the planting.
Therefore, iii order to make nor
NAL crop every day from now hence
forth must be ideal cotton weather.
'Hhe spinning trade is in the most
fIourishing condition in it's history,

the farmers and spots holders If
they positively refuse to take present
prices it will Immediately advance to
30 cents and above, as the spinners
will call the spectators for delivery

now. So, | say again, sit steady in
the boat and freeze to your spots and
they will pay your price.

Freeze to your spots. Don't sell
until the price is reached. It will
come if the farmers will not release
a pound until it gets to so cents and
above. The price of goods justifes
it. If you don't get your price don't
blame the other fellow. Did you know
that the spinnablc cotton is not enough
to run The mills Of the world more
than five or six months, and that if
the cotton to be grown this year
should be withheld from the market
until December then the majority
Of the mills would have to close down
on account Of lack of cotton to spin?
Well, those are facts, and the pro-
ducerS Of cotton never had the oppor-
tunity in their hands as they have
today.
Il hope that the producers will
realize that this is a fact and that
they will make up their minds not to
put any new cotton on the market un
til December. Then market sparingly

WORK OF ROMAN SURGEONS
Artificial Leg Found in Tomb at
'Capua Is Acknowledged Oldest
In the World.

The oldest artificial leg in exist
ence is that in the museum of the
Royal College of Surgeons Of Eng
land. 1t was found in a tomb at
Capua, and is, Of course, of Roman
origin.
This artificial member accurate
" represents the form Of the human
leg. 1t is made with pieces Of thin
bronze. fastened by bronzed nails to
q wooden core. Two iron bars, hav-
ing holes at their free ends, are at
tached to the upper extremity of
the bronze: a quadrllateral piece
Of IRON found near the position of
the foot is thought to have given
strength to it. There is no trace
Of the foot, and the wooden core had
its waist surrounded by a belt of
sheet bronze edged with small rivets
probably used to fasten a leather
lining. Three painted vases lay at
the feet of the skeleton. The vases
belong to a rather advanced period
in the decline of art, about 800 B. G.
