Orders TlcelUe Witnesses
In Deputys Murder Case

CHARLES TOWN, W. W, Aug. 8.
Twelve additional witnesses were
ordered brought here at the States
expense today from counts in the
Southern coal field for the trial of
John Wilburn. charged with the
murder of Deputy John C. Gore.
Logan County. last August.
1t is possible that the sheriffs
will not be able to fnd these wit
nesses and because wilburn viii
not announce himself ready for
hearing unless his witnesses are
here. the case probably will be de-
layed.

THE WOMAN TEMPTED ME,

It was bound to come. How could man continue to deem 1t fine to be above thought of finery in costume when daily it was drummed into his ears that dress was the important mat ter to be considered? How could maz continue to be serious minded when the serious minded are laughed at by those attractive creatures of the other sex who scorn the serious? He just couldn't; that is all. He was driven to it in self defense. He must play the game as it is being played today by the sex h ehas been taught to revere as the sex to be admired.
 For the first time in the history of the national clothers association liv- ing male models are being used to exhibit mems styles. This is in New York. and the male models, showing the men what they should wear, are strutting about in Madison Square Garden, clad in "toreador" trousers, belled at the bottom, with slits up the sides, laced together, and many of them have bells an everythin' at- tached.

OLD-TINIE POETRY

The interest taken in the home of the late James Whitcomb Riley, poet. suggests the inquiry whether or not his verse as he read 1t would Sbe as popular today as it was at the time he wrote. Those who have heard him read his poems remember the simple manner he had of speaking the lines, allowing their homely pathos rather than his manner of presenting them to bring the effect.
 The popular opinion seems to be that the present is no time to try to market homely. sentimental verse or story, play or song; that the people of today want something more lively. something "jazzined." And yet, look ing at New York, for instance, one of the most popular of the musical comedies is clean and full of gentle harmonies quite free from jazz It has an fashioned plot. One of the most successful of plays of the day Is a straight mystery story containing no hint of the eternal triangle or of anything suggestive, Some of the most popular of the moving pictures are stories that bring back old-time TO- mances, full of old situations in which the hero is perfection, the villain made to suffer for his sins.
 Considering these things one may well believe that there Is a growing desire to get back to the old stan dards, longing for the clean, simple songs and tales which brought tears to the eyes and lump in the throat. Considering these things 1t might well be that James Whitcomb Riley, read ing his poems on the stage today would be as popular as he was twenty years ago if people were not afraid to show their liking for the old, simple things.

THE PEACE AGREEMENT.

About POO, ,O00 men will go back to work on the railroads as a result of the peace agreement. The settle ment, or arrangements for a settle ment cover some 55 railroads.
 Of course the best thing about this settlement is the fact that the men are going back to work and that the entering wedge of a general resump- ton of work by all strikers has been driven. But closely following on the heels of this is importance and in bringing satisfaction to all who care for fair play, is the little item which informs that the men who took the places of the strikers, presumably on the promise that their positions were to be permanent if they proved themselves efficient, will be retained. There is satisfaction in the fact that 1t appears there will be no breaking of the word given men who went to work or who remained at work re- ~-Ang on this word.

WANT MORE WOMEN
English Members of Feminine Sex Would Increase Their Number in Parliament Form Committee.

London, Sept. 1.-The women of England are preparing an intensive campaign with view to securing more women members of Parliament. They are quite satisfied with Lady Astor and Mrs. Wintringham, but they want more women in the House of Commons to keep these two from feeling lonesome. They have now formed a committee to embrace all parties-except the Communist. They call it the Women's Slection Commit tee. They are raising a central fund, too, to help women candidates. Any one who sends along more than a pound can have it earmarked for the support of a candidate for any par ticular party.
 The Duchess of Atholl has her eye on a seat and although her aristo- cratic friends are trying to dissuade her from engaging in an electorial contest, 1t is understood she is pre- pairing to stand for the Parliamentary vacancy that will occur if the expect ed promotion of the Lord Advocate to the Scottish Bench takes place.
New Britain herald., 1922-09-14

Another satisfactory feature of the agreement is the provision for a commission to which is 10 be re- | ferred any matter Of dispute AS to the relative standing of employees, This refers, of course, 10 the 'troublesome seniority matter, and to this com mission will go disputes on this point, | The fact that there Is no public dis cussion as to what will be done about restoration of seniority rights indicates that this matter will be completely in the hands of this com mission, ThV roads made no prom ises to discharge men employed in the shops, They may be treated fairly. If promises have been made to them and they acted on those promises and went to work relying of the commission appointed by the railroads will not vote to break the
 
 the six representatives of the labor organizations signing the agreement undoubtedly have power, if the rail- roads representatives stand together stand together, to block any discredit- ing of the word of railroad officers by countenancing the breaking of pledges made.
 Thus in this agreement, the sen- iority matter, which has been the ob- stacle to settlement, is submitted to arbitration as other matters have been since the strike was begun. The governments injunction suit will be continued regardless of peace settle ments. More than ever 1t is to be desired that all the facts be shown as to who were responsible. individ- uals or unions, for acts of violence. The matter has been begun and affi- davits collected and submitted to the court. The work should not be in vain. Facts alleged in the affidavits should be proved or disproved and finding made based thereon If there has been a conspiracy 1t should be known and its members punished. If there was conspiracy and labor unions did not participate in 1t labor unions should be absolved of blame. the facts alleged-if they are facts. At least there should be a verdict even if 1t is only Acquitted because of insufficient evidence.''

VOLSTEAD OPPOSED
 BY 'DRY PASTOR
Congressman Will Be Fitted Against Man Who Defeated Him

St. Paul, Minn Sept. 14-Congress- man Andrew J. Volstead, father of the prohibition enforcement act, will be opposed for reelection in the November election by the man who defeated him in the primary two years ago.
 This contest In the Seventh Mime sota congressional district rivals in in- terest the three cornered fight for the United States senatorship, In which a woman-Mrs. Anna Dickie Olesen- has been setting the campaign pace for her two male opponents Opponent "Dry" Prohibition Is not an issue in the contest involving Volstead, for he will be opposed by the Rev. O. J. Kvale of Benson, who declares himself "as dry as Volstead with little to spare" Mir. Volstead' has the endorsement of the republican district convention, while both the democratic and the farmer-labor conventions endorsed the candidacy of Rev. Kvale. In 1920 as the candidate of the Non- partisan league seeking the republican nomin- alton, Rev. Kvale nosed out Mir. Volstead in the June primary by IT, 36S votes to 15,05o Then charges of violation of the state corrupt prac- tices act against Rev. Kvale were sustained. the nomination was de- clared vacant. and the republican dis trict committee selected Mir. Volstead as the republican candidate.
 Three COrncred Race
 With the approach of the fall cleo culated petitions that enabled him to file as an independent and in a three- cornered race-a democratic candidate having entered-Volstead polled 36,- s22 votes, Kvale 35,37o and the dem- ocratic candidate, 5,s5s.
 This year, with Kvale bearing the democratic endorsement, it will be finish fight between Kvale and Vol stead and the question lies in what strength the old Non-p -partsan-now farmer er-labor--organiza has been able to retain.
 Two years ago, women were ex- ceptionally active in the interests of MT. Vostead, and it was admitted that their vote figured in determining his success.
 If the Kvale forces have been able to hold their strength the issue prob ably will rest with those voters who cast a democratic ballot two years ago. With the democratic convention endorsement Kvale forces expect to corral the greater part of this dmo- cratic vote.

YALE BASEBALL

Of course persons not in close touch with affairs at certain place should not comment upon them. It is poor taste to say nothing of the fact that such commentator is quite apt to be mistaken in his facts and hence give an erroneous opinion as to the situa- tion. For that reason 1t is case of the unwise rushing in where the good spirits are afraid to wander when it comes to discussing the baseball situa- tion at Yale. And yet that perverse something in us which makes us hu- man inspires that thought that the news that Bernie Tommers, Yale's baseball coach of last season, is to be retained probably, is good news.
 The graduates of Yale who have not had time or inclination to read the gossip through the athletic year. may be quite ignorant of all the sins of omission and commission of base ball coach and yet when they go back to New Haven at commencement time and try to rouse that enthusiasm which used to come so easily in the dampish days of long ago, they find it practi- cally impossible to stir it up without a bit of something tangible like a p q y,oo I I vet season the rain brought certain sort of dampness to the first Yale Harvard game and it was postponed. When the second game was played artificial, stimulant was not needed to rouse that enthusiasm. It came with the game and victory and praises went up for the team and the man who coached the men.
 Likewise when Yale triumphed over Princeton there came the same joy to the alumnus who follows baseball Coach Tommers' name was closely as- sociated with those victories. Mac Aldrich had much to do with them, of course. But Yale cannot have AL drich out there on the diamond, and Yale can have Tommers there on the bench. Get rid of Tommers by all means if it is wise to do so-but don't do it just now; some of us want to go to that game next year and we would like to have someone on the bench able to tell how Aldrich used to do it, and, perhaps, develop some more like Mac

RECOVERY WILL BE SLOW.
As Result Mrs. Harding Will Probably
 Have to Cancel Engagements.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Mainte- nance of the steady improvement shown in her condition for the last three days gave attending physicians entire confidence today that Mrs. Harding was we'll on the road to re- covery. From now only occasional reports will be issued on the pro- gress of her recovery.
 A bulletin last night expressed the opinion of attending physicians that Mrs. Harding's convalescence would be tedious one. That the hostess of the White House, there- fore, would not be able to give to the social life of the capital this winter the same center of interest and at traction which her extensive program of entertainment afforded last year appeared almost certain.

JAP BONDS INCREASE

Striking Rise Registered Due to in-
 fation of Currency in That Coun-
 try.
 Tokio, Sept. 14.-According to MT. kumura, vice. e-presdent of the bank of Japan, bonds in possession of the bank of Japan, have registered a striking increase in amount during the past few years. This is charged by the public as indirectly responsible for the imitation of currency, and therefore the abnormal level of price. Authorities of the bank of Japan, however, see no just cause for such complaints, the marked increase being chiefly in the amount of for eign loans in the banks possession, and not the domestic bonds upon
New Britain herald., 1922-09-14

which depends the amount of the con- vertible notes to be issued.
 During the past few years, the domestic bonds owned by the bank increased by forty million yen, where as the foreign loans owned by the bank have grown by 1So,Ooo,ooO yen during the same period. This phe- nomenal increase is, according to MT. Kimura, due to the fact that all for eign bonds which had been regarded as special reserves abroad have been included in the loan bond account since the return of peace in view of the striking growth of special reserves abroad since the outbreak of the late war.
