Had Robbed Postoffice At
RoSem0nt.

In the arrest at Grafton OF two
boys each IS years Of age, by Chief
Deputy United States Marshal r. F.

The prisoners told United States
Commissioner Lilly in Grafton
about the robberies. On one occa-
sion one Of them informed the Off.

one was looking and took all the
money he could reach.
On another occasion they hid be-
hind a potato bin after slipping in
through a rear window and waited
until the store was closed for the
night. Then they took the money
from the postoffice and the cash
register, getting around $40 or $50
and fed.
Again on another night they
went under the store by means Of
he opening and again robbed both
store and postoffice, getting about

CITIES MUST have
REPORTS PUBLISHED
Supreme Court Rules In
:. CIarksbMU Case.

In the first case in the state to
test the validity of the law passed
by the 1921 state legislature rela-
tive to publishing financial state
ments, the City OF Clarksburg, a
municipality, was directed by a
mandamus writ In the supreme
court at Charleston to publish the
statement once in each the Ciarks.
burg Exponent and the Clarksburs
Telegram, or appear at Charleston
July 81 to show cause why the
statement should not be published.
The case was styled: "Taxpay.
ers, Charles z. Lamberd, ct al
against the City OF Clarksburg, a
municipal corporation, ct al" and
asked that the supreme court grant
a writ ordering the city to publish
its financial statement as required
both by the new city charter and
Section 2, Chapter Ala Of the Code
of West Virginia
The supreme court granted the
writ directing the statement to be
published once in the Clarksburg
Exponent, and once IN the Clatks
burg Telegram or for the officials
to appear at Charleston July 81 TO
show cause why the statement
should not be published.
After the law had been clearly
shown on the subject Judge Harold
Ritz granted the writ without leav-
ing the bench and asked counsel
for the plaintiffs to fix date for
the hearing. July 81 was agreed
upon.
The case grew out Of the decision
Of the Clarksburg council at re-
cent meeting that the financial
statement Of the city this year
would not be published unless the
city was compelled to do so.
The decision of the supreme court
will have far reaching effect IN es-
tablishing the new law throughout
the state Of West Virginia.

lone OF EVERY TEN
AT UNIV. A miner
Only Institution In Country
With So High An Average.

One in every ten students who go
to school at the State university is
coal miner At least, that's the per
centage in the summer school, and
according to Professor A. C. Caller
the university is probably the only
one in the world whose coal-mining
percentage runs that high.
Virtually every one OF the 1Oj
Who are taking the six weeks
course In mining is g. practical min
er-which means that every one Of
them knows all about how to WELD
pick by virtue of the blisters on ev-
cry pair Of hands. They represent
more than 10 per cent OF the sum
mer school enrolment
The course has been offered for
five years. The first year drew JUS
81 knowledge seekers, the second
%, the third 81, and last year 81
sons of toll enrolled.
The loss OF life In the mines
means an annual financial loss Of
$1,000 900, Professor Callen assert
ed in an address to the students OF
mining. "Out Of the 100000 miners
in the state" he added, about $50
of them lose their lives each year.
Taking the state compensation
commissions estimate of $4,000 as
the value OF a human life, the total
loss, not including the scores of
non-fatal accidents. goes well be-
yond the million dollar figure.
1.-THE university mining extension
division is doing two separate and
distinct kinds OF work to help re
duce the loss of life and limb Night
schools are held at the mines at
various points over the state, and
special instruction Is given at the
short course"
Last year, night school work was
directed from four points: Elkins,
Moundsville, WEIGH and Mount
Hope. Approximately 500 miners
were enrolled at the different night
schools and were instructed in mine
gases, safety lamps, ventilation,
drainage, explosives, timbering,
hauling and other fundamentals OF
mining. The legislature has increas-
ed its appropriation to $4,000 for
the next two years, which gives
with outside help, from $4,000 to
sa5Oo0. Additional c6nters Of IN
struction will probably be given
this year.
