Club Men Hear About
New Y. M. C. "A. Boy
Work Movement

Mrs. James A. Meredith addressed
the members Of the Fairmont Ro-
tary club today at the invitation Of
one OF the cub committees and her
talk on Americanism proved one Of
the most interesting the clubmep
have listened to In recent months.
Mrs. Meredith addressed herself
to what she called the practical side
OF the patriotic instinct Of the peo-
pie and made a plea for two things
a greater personal interest in the
men who were wounded during the
war and are still in the hospitals
scattered all over the country, and
n more militant opposition on the
part Of the intelligent public against
the efforts OF the people who are
trying to undermine the American
government.
In connection with the need for
greater interest In the men who are
cut off from communication with
their fellows by hospital walls, Mrs.
Meredith said that she hoped there
would some day be, "a state wide or
ganization supplied with the name
OF every West Virginia soldier
which made ita business to keep
ntouch with these men and, see that
they receive proper attntion.
H. 7. Bakr, boys work secretary
of the international Y. NJ. G. A. who

SENATE PROBE FOR N!ING0 co.
IN
POLICE COURT
One Party Was Gathered
In For Theft OF
Automobile

j .T.l
An American, an Italian and an
African were the Ill assorted trio
brought into the police station by
Patrolman Jones at 1850 this
morning. And their appearance
with regard to dress and deport.
ment this morning was Just as in
congruous. q
The Italian, Sam Folio, was well
dressed. The American, Harry
Dean. wore a pair of oyeralls and
ia brown working shirt. The third
member Of the party, Harry
Brown, wore short pants and own
up to being sixteen years old. The
other two said that they were nine
teen.
Shortly after i o'clock this
morning, the officer noticed a car
going out Fairmont avenue, with
out a license number. Another
feature Of the outfit that arrested
the attention Of the officer was the
fact that the machine sagged sadly
to the port side, due to. a flat tire.
The combination was such that the
party were brought to the station
where they confessed that they
had stolen the car from Charles
Allen. a coal miner at Kilarm and
had come to the big city for a lit
tile time.
The car stood in front Of the
police station this morning and at
tracted considerable attention. 1t
lie a Maxwell and had evidently
Isce.l better days. On the rear seat
was u coal miners acetelene lamp,
and scattered over the floor were
various tools that showed that the
owner had been making some re-
pairs.
The three boys were turned over
IN the county and lodged insthe
county jail for a hearing later. The
young Solored boy seems to have
pren innocent rafd. VIII very likely
beTgsyen. his liberty as soon US he
has had q good scare.
Another Juvenile offender who
spent the night tr the police sta
tion was James Crawford. 121
Center street, Weston. James

with an air Of nonchalence remark.
able In one whoghad, only reached
tine age OF 10 and had arrived In
d strange city. He was brought to
the police station and said he had
come here to look for a job. An
officer I snow on his way here from
Weston and will remove James to
his usual habitat. Meantime the
boy is being detained at the Sal
vation Army.
PLEASE see that drivers Of auto
mobiles passing ever the South
Side bridge, refrain from leaving
their cars stand on the bridge
while they take a long look over
tile side Of. the bridge, as some of
them h;,S3 been DOING was the
way Mayor Gonaway issued the or!
der to Chief Snlder this morning.
And so Patrolman DeBerry is on
duty at the bridge and is having
his hands full for the temptation
to do the very thing that has
al ioused theStre OF the Mayor seems
to be well night irresistible.

Saw No Guns On Bushmen

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 9.-Although
Clarence Wilma's name had not been
given in the criminal information filed
in the district court in connection
with the murder trial of William
Wyant and Henry Kearns, jamestown
railroad police, charged with the
shooting; and killing of three tran
sients near that city on May 8, his
testimony was permitted Monday by
Judge c. M. Cooley, trial judge.
The defense objected that Wilma, a
car inspector, might give evidence
which the defense did not have time
to investigate. The. state admitted III
court that the name of Wilma was
not known to the prosecution until
Sunday afternoon.
Wilma testified on direct examina-
ton that ne did not see any guns
when he went to the "jungles," the
scene Of the shooting, and hat he was
among the first to arrive, being there
two OR three minutes before the
jamestown police.
Under cross-examination, he testi-
fed that Wyant and Kearns, the de-
PENDANTS, were about 20 feet from the
bodies Of the wounded men. that he
did not see a gun on .Wyant or Kearns.
Robert e. Dinehart, a switchman.
testified that Engineer John M. Hol-
comb, asked Wyant How come all
these dead men are here?" n that
Wyant replied, "They must have been
shooting among themselves"
