TWO NAMES
 OFF LIST OF
 DEFENDANTS

Williamson, W. Va, Sept. 1.-Two names that figured prominently early this year in one Of Mingo County's s most protracted circuit court cases those of Sid Hatfield and Ed Cham bers-were omitted to-day when the roll of defendants was called at the group of men from Mattewan, charg- ed with complicity in the killing of seven private detectives in that town May 19, 1920.
 The remaining indictments against them were nolle pressed yesterday because the men no longer live Both fell from gun shot wounds over a month ago on the Mcdowell County Courthouse steps at Welch. as they where Hatfield, with several others was to stand trial on a charge of having fired into the little settlement of Mohawk several months before.

 Hatfield was a former police chief old resident of the town. Both were principal defendants of which there. were originally twenty-four in the first trial which continued from the latter part of January until late in March and resulted in acquitta1.

HOT WAVE FLOODS
 PRODUCE MARKET

The hot wave that arrived early in the week has caused one effect that has not been noted by many who have commented upon it. It has re- suited in sudden rush of all sort of fruits and vegetables from the farms in the surrounding towns into market. From early August until the first frost. which has not apepared yet, is the big producing season of the year in orchard and garden. It is the time when peaches, apples, pears, plurns. all kinds and nearly every other kind of produce is at the height of their, production The sudden heat wave following the previous cooler weather caused the produce to ripen and ma ture very rapidly, resulting in the clogginS up of the markets with fresh produce in all of the cities of the state, according to a statement by B. B. Storrs, local representative of the state Marketing Bureau, to- day.
 MT. Storrs added that although it was giving the farmers a, rather hard time just at present, trying to har vest and market their crops as fast as they riPened under the present waS also causing sharp price declines in nearly every line of fruits and veg etables that are now in season. The peach market which was expecting to receive heavy receipts of ElbertaS, even if the weather had remained
 normal, is fast becoming glutted with the suddenly ripened fruit. Bartlett pears which were arriving at a nor mal rate last week have suddenly be- gan rushing into the markets this week, tomatoes is was supposed by many had passed through their
 heavier producing days about ten
 days ago but the heat has stimulated
 the ripening of the later ones to such
 an extent that the market the last
 day or so has taken on the appearan- ance of some days about two weeks
 ago when tomatoes were flooding the
 city. Green corn. string and Lima beans, and summer squash are also
 showing the effects of the weather in the same way.
 Sudden changes of the weather have various effects upon different businesses and the present heat wave is causing the farmers an extra rush of work something of a loss in
 hand @ W what is a 1osEto the farmers is a gain to consumers in the cities while the surplus of produce lasts. | Those who were previously planning
 to can some more of any of the pres ent plentiful products-peaches, pears | green corn, or tomatoes-should re- l double their canning programs, in | which way they will be able to get 1 the most out of the temporary | abundance.

ASK FOR
 ASYLUM IN AMERICA
Assyrians Pray for Admit tance to Escape Unrest of Near East = Rule Bars Them.

Washington. Sept. 7-F7eeing as re- fugees from Persia and portions of Turkey adjacent to that country, hun dreds of Assyrians are praying for admission into the United States, the Department of Labor today announc- ed through the Bureau of 1mmigra- ton. Under the 3 per cent immigra- tion law the number of these people admissible into the United States IS limited to seventy-eight per year.
 There recently arrived about 300 of them at Boston, New York and-Seattle and appeals were made to President Harding and Secretary of Labor Davis from relief societies, churches and other organizations to admit them. Secretary Davis realizing the extreme hardship which would be imposed by deportation, ordered that the Assyri- ans otherwise admissible at all ports be admitted temporarily on their own personal bonds.
 While Secretary Davis believes in tempering the administration of the immigration law with mercy, he said that the admission of so many immi- grants whose entrance is not conten- plated by the law acts as an impetus to the traffic.
 'No doubt,'' said the Secretary, many not so entitled to consideration embark for this country, feeling cer- tain that an exception will be made in their cases and that they will be per mitted to enter"

BONES OF BUFFALO AND HUMAN JAW FORM
 CAVES SECRET

Lexington, Ky, Sept. 7-Practically the entire skeleton of a buffalo and a fragment of the lower half of a human jaw have been discovered on the farm of Brack Smith, eight miles from Lexington, on the Frankfort Pike. The bones were found in q small cave by Drs. A M. Miller and w. D. Funkheuser, of the University of Ken lucky.
 Before making their find they trav- elled thirty or forty feet through a small underground passage, which gave no room for further excavation work.
 Both scientists assert that the cave showed no signs of having been en- tered by man and that, in their opin- ion, the bones antedate the discovery of America
 Dr. Miller has recently returned from Grayson County, where he found an ancient rock-house, containing re- mains of Indians and a stone mortar for grinding corn.

TO INSIST ON PRINCIPLE OF
 LIMITATION

Tokio, Sept. 7.-(By A. P.)-Ja- pans naval experts wish to insist upon a positive limitation principle at the Washington conference, says the press, and they plan to announce Japan'S willingness to reduce the present eight and eight capital ships program to one of eight battle ships and six battle cruisers. This is described as the minimum limit of safety to the empire and would be advanced as the Japanese standard, provided the Unted States and Great Britain made similar reductions.
 According to the ASahi, the Jap anese naval delegates will insist upon the abandonment of all Qualifications on all Pacific islands and at the same time will propose that the United States suspend her present naval pro- gram spread over the next three wears

GREAT VEIN OF GOLD
 FOUND IN CANADA

The Pas, Man, Sept. Sensational reports reaching here of the gold dis covery at Elbow Lake have caused a rush of prospectors to the region.
 From surface showings, many be- Ieve the largest body of gold ore on the continent has been tapped. The containing dyke has been stripped of overburden for a length of $50 feet and width of fifty feet without en- countering the walls of the vein. The outcropping near the edge of the lake has developed. it is said, into a rich pocket of gold.
 The vein is in a greensboro forrna- ton, and the naturalization is in porphry, with quartz stringers An attractive feature is the evident con tnuity of free gold the length and width of the dyke, starting from the gold pocket, from which specimens of 50 per cent. were taken.
 Dan Austin, a prospector, said he stood on the shore of the lake and could see the ore body dipping into the water, showing free gold standing out everywhere. Going over the ex- posed section of the vein, he claims to have seen free gold in fairly regular quantities from beginning to end.

He Saw My Little Mirror And Then Wanted To Jump Right Out Of The Chair!

A young fellow came into my office day before yesterday to have a tooth fixed up.
 When I put my little mirror in his mouth to look at his teeth, he wanted to jump right out of the chair and make a nasty de- parture.
 I looked at him and asked him what was the matter!
 Doctor, I'm scared stiff," he said sheepisbIy, "when you look at me ! want to run awayw
 
 Well, I saw he was all on edge so I said to him "I won't hurt you, but if you think you feel the faintest sign of pain, just raise your hand and Pll stop quick
 When I had finished fixing his tooth ! said to him-1 didn't see you raise your hand"
 "Lord-y, Doctor" he told ''that didn't hurt a bit."
 And as he paid my young lady attendant he said
 "You sure don't charge very much Doctor. I'll see you again if \ ever have another toOthache.- and you can gamble that Pm going to tell the other fellows about what you did for me-fixing me up without it's hurting a single bit"
 Now, I've got a req son for telling you these little incidents that are happening every day in our offices
 I want to start you thinking about your teeth and about having them fixed-thats for your own good! 6
 And I want to start you thinking like this @there must be something in these dentists claims to fix teeth without it's hurt ing a single bit-so-I think I'll Go up and see just how true those stories are!'
 Once you come up here - you'll be mighty glad you did!

1t has been urged that large property interests
in Albuquerque should subscribe largely to the hotel
stock in order that the burden may not fall small
property and businesses and that the interests
of small stockholders may be protected AS to the
first it strikes that survey of the subscrip-
ton lists in the original hotel campaign will show
that with two exceptions the big property and
and business interests have already subscribed ber
ally to this enterprise. There large interests
that should do than they have done, but in the
main it will be found that the "big fellows" have vol
unteered their share. AS to the second it strikes
that there are safety in numbers We need not fear
lack of wise administration for this hotel company.
1t is community trust because of the large number
of subscriptions, and such will be administered
with scrupulous by any board of directors the
stockholders may elect now or in the future. think
those of whose interests less important, should
be just ready to subscribe for each of will get
our proportion of the reward

There is no doubt about the fact that most cities
and do date their real growth from the time when
adequate hotel accommodations are provided One
for this is that proper hotel facilities are nee
essary to keep growing city in the growing class
Another that when city undertakes to pro-
vide and does provide ample hotel accommodations
it is sign that its people have determined to
make growth come instead of waiting for it to come
think this hotel is necessary to the speediest
development of Albuquerque and that the quicker
complete the more certain we are to get some
where in city building.

1t is we'll known that favored and worked for
site for the new hotel which regarded as better
site than the chosen. have not changed my view
to that matter. Neither have changed my view as
to the Importance of building the hotel believe it
to be absolutely essential to the growth of business,
property values and population here to build this
hotel and that it be done during the first half of 1922
To that end am giving all the time that can and
all the support and encouragement that can toward
finishing the hotel building fund before the New
Year 1t is to the practical financial advantage of
every citizen to do so.

AS member of the Kiwanis Club, which first
proposed the building of the $780, 900 hotel as Abu-
querques principal community effort in 1921, feel
that every member of that club and myself as an in
divdual citizen of Albuquerque, is pledged to make
effort to insure completion of the building fund
before the end of the year. If we do not complete it
will stand convicted of failure in our main under
taking for this city, The cost of such failure is too
serious to consider for a minute
Because feel myself pledged to see this enter
prise through and because know its great value to
Albuquerque am giving all my time to the present
hotel campaign.

am giving all the time can spare to the hotel
building fund campaign because am convinced that
it is good investment for me. There is no doubt
that the building of this hotel will hasten growth and
increase the value of every bit of property in Albu
querque. That means an increase in value of the
property own. 1t to that the value of this
undertaking to our city is so plain that every one
of should see selfish interest and personal ad-
vantage in helping complete the hotel fund. There
is doubt that it will encourage other important
building operations. If we speed up those oper
atoms it is obviously to advantage to do SO. z

and target practice off the Virginia
capes as the result OF successful
attack by army and navy fliers yes

the cruiser was sent to the bottom.
Surviving eleven direct hits. six

tack and five with heavier bombs up
60 six hundred pounds. the cruiser
received its death blow from a six
hundred FOUNDER hurled from one of
a squadpon of six army Martin planes
which proceeded to the attack from
Langley Field. Va. late in the day.
Although failing to hit the target.
the bomb as observed from one of the
naval vessels at the scene exploded
with such terrific force on striking
the water few feet from the star
board bow that the Frankfurt was
literally lifted up several feet. As the
vessel began to settle gradually by
the head, the end was hastened by two
more six hundred pound bombs placed
close to the port bow by another army
plane. The cruiser disappeared twenty
eight minutes after the fatal blow.
