METZ GETS LONG
SENTENCE TO-DAY.
Five Years For Second
Violation of Liquor
49, Law

A five year sentence for a second
violation OF the prohibition laws
and a life sentence for murder
both the extreme length OF impris-
onment under the law<-were the
sentences pronounced by Judge E.
NJ. Showalter in Criminal court this
morning against Claude Metz and
Tony Alloy, respectively. Metz was
found guilty by a jury last Monday
and a motion for new trial made
by Attorney Harry Shaw denied
this morning. Last night, the jury
trying the case against Alloy after
deliberating for 40 minutes, found
him guilty of murder in the first
degree, but recommended SEN
tence Of life imprisonment No OBJ
lection was made by Attorney F.
L. Lemley, who defended Alloy,
when the prison2r was brought from
Jail for sentence this morning.
In imposing the extreme penalty
OF the law on Metz, Judge Showal.
ter took occasion to justify that
course in review Of the history OF
Metz for the past several years.
ut might seem unreasonable"
he said, "for a man to receive such
sentence for having two bottles
of whiskey in his possession. but,
he pointed out, "when the record
OF the accused is carefully consid-
cred, the case takes on different
aspect" Years ago, he said Metz
began dealing in contraband liquor.
In the year 1915 he was arrested,
convicted, and served sentence
in the county jail for the same Of
fense as that with which he is now
charged. Four witnesses in the
present case have testified that
Metz on the day Of his arrest IN
dulged in lot OF braggadocio about
his ability to escape conviction and
defied the sheriff who made the ar.
rest to prove him guilty. Placing
ones self in utter defiance Of tho
law is not to be tolerated, he said,
and will not be. Tho records show,
he said, that Metz has been arrest
ed number OF times, charged with
the same offense.
Attorney Harry Show, for the de-
fendant, asked for O stay of execu-
tIon Of the sentence for sixty days,
for the purpose OF applying for a
writ OF error.
Last night at 1920 the Jury try.
ing Tony Alloy for the murder OF
Everett Moore at EYerson on Juno
/, brought in q verdict Of guilty in
the first degree but recommended
life imprisonment. The trial was
begun yesterday morning and last
ed until 9:40 last night.
Alloy md two other Italians, Joe
Augustine and Tony Vellange were
Jointly Indicted by the grand jury
for the murder OF Moore. Alloy
was arrested on the day after the
murder, but the other two escaped
and have not been captured.
Witnesses who testified at the
trial were Ernie Jarvis, Bernice
Jarvis, Joe Laco, Daniel Davis, Lar.

HEALTH COURSES
IN THE SCHOOL
Important Matter is TAX
en- Up In Fairmont
Schools

Tho shocking exposure Of the
physical unfitness OF the youth OF
this country was brought with
force before the people when the
examination Of men for the army
proved such large percentage not
in physical condition for accept
ance.
This condition gave all health
education a strong impulse, and
Fairmont is falling into line this
winter with the inauguration or a
health training course in the pub
lie schools. This health training ID
to proceed under the direction OF
Hiss Marion Howell, graduate
durse and q young woman Win
splendid practical training for her
important work in the city schools:
Miss Howell is graduate OF
Worchesteri college, and a gradu-
ate OF the Lakeside hospital train
ing school for nurses: from this
institution she received a scholar
ship which gave her years course
in public health training ut the
Western Reserve university. she
is full OF enthusiasm for her work
in the schools and greatly pleased
ut the progressive spirit she has
found in the educational personnel
OF Fairmont, and tho hearty sym
pathy and assistance which she has
received from the entire teaching
force with whom she Is to cooper
ate.
Miss Howell has been in the city
since the opening Of the schools
and has been busily at work laying
the foundation for her winters pro-
gram. She has visited every room
in the public schools making
friends with the children whom she
has won at sight, and becoming ac-
quainted with the teachers person
ally.
Next week her actual organiza-
tiou begins with the introduction
of her work in what the children
will know as the Great Hesltn
Game. There arc certain rules
which must be followed by those
who desire to play the game, and
these must be followed strictly In
order to qualify. The Health Cru
saders will also he organized among
tho children from the third grades
UP to the eighth.
The parents of the city aTe al.
ready becoming interested in a
course which will lay the founda'
tion for health and strength in the
future years Of their children, and
this course will receive all possi-
BILE aid that can be given by those
at home, in order to further the
benefit OF tho health training re-
ceived in school. Miss Howell limos
her work up under three heads:
that Of helping to prevent the
spread OF communicable diseases,
helping TO discover and correct
physical defects. and the teaching
OF personal and public hygiene to
the children. Every possible en-
couragement Is to be extended this
feature OF the public school work,
and the school board confidently
expects the very best OF results
from Miss HowelHs labors in the
various schools OF the city.

some owl THIS;
GETS AUDIENCE
Has a Hard Time Holding
To Top of High
Building

a very small owl won the at
tention Of a score or more per-
sons this morning who stood in
line in front OF Woolworth's Ten
Cent Store gazing upward. The
small creature had flown to the
topmost front side of the Hall
Block across the street, where 1t
clung most precariously to the
fresco work along the top ledge
Of the building. The owl for
sometime before sat on top n post
near the Woolworth Building but
as the day grew brighter. 1t flew
across to the Hall Block building
and due to tho fact that, an owl
cannot see very well In the day
time, 1t Is presumed 1t struck
against the fresco work where in
some miraculous manner 1t got
foothold. Huddled sideways
against the building. it resembled
part of the decorations so strongly
that the inspection the little fellow
got from interested pedestrians,
was most minute. In fact for the
greater part OF the day the owl
was tho cause OF many craning
necks and much speculation. The
owl clung to this tiresome posi-
tion for an hour or two and then
flew from a wretchedly uncomfct:-
able shelter quite suddenly, and
managed in gomeway to reach the
top OF n ledge near where it is
presumed the bird will stay until
nightfall.
