the good people of Wheeling for
not opening their plant again last
night to the thousands who could
not come during the day.
The multitudes who crowded ev-
cry inch of floor space in our new
home during the AFTERNOON con-
sumed our complete reserve stock
of Ice Cream---more than 10000
gallons---compelling us to cancel
the night entertainment.
More than 10000 quarts of Ice
Cream, or 100000 helpings, were
served during the parade and to
the throngs at the plant. We
were compelled to lock the doors
repeatedly in order to handle our
visitors.
The Wheeling intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1903-1961, 1921-05-06

For the cordial reception given us
all along the line of march and for
the tremendous crowds that pass
ed through our plant during the af'
ternoon, we're genuinely grateful.
We promised the Wheeling people
to show them the finest Ice Cream
plant in the state; and to give them
all the good, pure, rich Ice Cream
they could eat. We have kept
faith, just as we shall keep faith in
our given word to always furnish
you the bestIce Cream tits possible
to makeina modern sanitary plant.
To those who were disappointed
by our early closing, we extend a
cordial invitation to visit the new
IMPERIAL plant at any time---
you are always welcome.

The initial number of the Sunday School Chautauqua at the Methodist church last evening was attended by a large crowd, hundred chairs being moved into the auditorium to take care of the late arrivals. Dr. Jewell made a most interesting address on "The Southern Mountaineer," and his limitations of the language of the mountaineers provoked much laugh ter on the part of the audience. He gave an interesting account of the habits and mode of living of the mountain people, much of his address being pathetic, while other parts were genuinely funny.

GOES INSANE,
 SHOOTS NEIGHBOR
bud Kennedy, Residing Eleven Miles South of Prescott, Uses
 Revolver on Will Paker When
 He Becomes Demented.

Bud Kennedy, well-to-do farmer living eleven miles south of Prescott. shot Will Parker, another farmer yes terday evening when he, Kennedy. suddenly became deranged. Kennedy flred two shots, but one went wild, the other entered Parker's arm about the elbow and came out above the elbow.
 Kennedy has been suffering from a weak mind for some time and the cause of the present trouble was a hght which occurred at Serepta Springs yesterday afternoon where religious services were being held. and young man named Miller, a son. ln-law of Kennedy, and another young man named Sampson became engaged Tn fight and it is said that Parker made an effort to part the boys, mak- Ing certain statements as to what he would do to the Miller boy. No ser lous injuries were sustained by either of the combatants except that Miller received scalp wound on the head with a pocket knife at the hands of Sampson. It is said that Miller then went home and informed his father in-law of the statements made by Parker and that Kennedy misunder- stood what the Miller boy was say ing, and thinking that a son of his had been killed by Parker, he left the house with his revolver and a few miles down the road met Parker and his family in a wagon going home from Serepta Springs. It is said that Kennedy grabbed the horses by the bits and pointed his revolver at Par ker, shooting twice, one bullet strik- ing Parker and the other barely miss ing Parker's daughter, who was in the wagon with him.
 Constable Fred Murrah and Dr. J B. Hesterly were called to Kennedy home this morning and Constable Murrah will take Kennedy to Che State Hospital for Nervous Diseases this evening on Uo. 6. He is wei! known in Prescott tand is a prosper ous farmer.

 Against Mine Strike

London April 3,-Great Britain was preparing tonight to place her self on a war basis to meet the threat of industrial paralysis growing out of the coal miners strike.
 Plans were being drawn up tc ration coal, electricity and gas; cur tail all transportation and protect property.
 Sporadic disorders were already re ported from Wales and precautions were being taken to prevent their spread to other fields.
 Fear was expressed of a general strike, involving the railway and transport workers, which together with the miners form the triple al liance."

 RATIFY TREATY
Lauzanne Wires Gloomy News to His Paper-Harding Can Kill or Pass the Knox Reso- iutiOn.

Washington April B. Although the United States has notified Ger many that she must pay to the full est extent of her ability for damage done in the war, developments here today indicated that the Harding ad- ministration is continuing to dsre- gard appeals of the allies for hearty cooperation under the Versailles treaty.
 NJ. Viviani's visit as Frances envoy is understood to have as one of it's primary objects an appeal against separate peace" with Germany. That President Harding, however, has dis outraged Nj. Viviani along this line is apparent tonight.
 The authority for this disclosure is none other than Stephans Lauzanne, editor of Le Matin, who accompanied M. Viviani to this country M. Lau- zanne himself had a conference yes terday with President Harding.
 There appeared in LeMatin today cable dispatch from M. Lauzanne, the following excerpt from which was cabled to this country tonight:
 "The American Senate will vote the Knox resolution for separate peace with Germany.
 "Neither President Harding nor Secretary of State Hughes, nor the American Senate will ever ratify the Versailles treaty nor the league of nations.
 "The sooner the French people place themselves before this reality. however hard it may be, the better for France"
 That M. Lauzanne reflects the view of M. Viviani at the close of his first week of conference with American officials is taken for granted, it being assumed that the distinguished French editor would be careful to make no statement to the French pub lie concerning the American situa- tion which was not deemed justified by the chief of the French. delega- tion. Comment by H Viviani On the Lauzanne dispatch was not available tonight
 This is the first inkling vouchsafed the American public of the informa- tion communicated to M. Viviani and his associates by the administration concerning its attitude towards the Versailles treaty and the league. The president and Secretary Hughes have declined to reveal what they have had to say concerning American policies to the French emissaries. Senator Lodge also has declined to discuss his confeIencd with H. Niviani.

many notables are expected TO be in
attendance. The scoutmasters at
tending the scoutmaster school at
Notre Dame also will end up their
school work there and be given an

Of these. The naval school has

thrilling event Of the entire outing
will be an Indian sham battle that
Frank Hubbard is expecting to
stage. Hubbard was one Of the no
taries who accompanied the scouts
to England last year, and was the
man who staged such an Indian
sham battle in London that the En-
