HILL CASE STILE
IN CIRCUIT COURT

The case Of John Calvin Hill
vs.! S. c. Meyer and {. d. Weaver,
which was started In Circuit Court
yesterday morning, Is still before
the court today. The case e oysr
a $500 note given to Nj. Hill by
Meyer and Weaver as5part pay
ment for two acres Of coal.
Attorney Trevy Nutter for the
defense is basing his case on the
ground that Mr.. Hill misrepre-
sented the coal to his clients when
the deal was made and that they
did not fiad out the alleged fraud
until they attempted 70 work the
coal. = Z
: Frank Raymond. attorney for
Mr.. Hill, contends that the deten-
dants, after looking over the two
acres Of coal, offered Mr.. Hill
81, 900 for It and drew up the OPP
ton themselves. agreeing to pay
$500 cash and give their note for
$500 to be payable In sl1 months
When the note lmattired the de-
PENDANTS had discovered. SO tle
say, by opening q mine ON tbs
property that the coal dipped
wrong to work and had 4 numbe:
Of breaks in It and that the coal
was not useable or marketable.
Therefore they refused to pay OF
the note. Mr.. Hlllibrought suit for
the amount, and the court will
probably decide the case this AZ
ternoon.

Curious Case of Man MoU
Believed Den1ented BEING
PfobedbyLocal Red Cross
ArchlIio Moccio Llkens Him
self to Entrants in Male
Beauty Contest

Red Cross officials never get
lonely while at work in the Red
Cross room. II nobody else comes
in, Archilio MoccIo is sure to be
there, sitting in a comfortable
chair before the desk Of the sec.
rotary. .Motclo has been on hand
at the Red Cross room every sin.
gle day since last April. All day,
every day he sitsi If 1t rains he
is glad OF the shelter and II the
sun shines he seems glad not to
be annoyed with 1t.
Moccio's case is a peculiar one.
-Four years ago he was discharged
from service, suffering with shrap-
mel wounds, but these soon healed.
The Red Cross was energetic n
securing hospital care for him az
Fort McHenry, Maryland. where
he remained nearly a year. Sinca
discharged from there as complete.
ly cured he has haunted the Red
Cross office claiming disability
compensation. The Red Cross Is
always diligent in securing what.
ever Is needed, but in spite OF
many examinations by physicians
no doctor can discover anything
wrong with Moccio. He looks
healthy and appears in the best OF
health, yet Moccio says he is a
"sick man." and he says his H.
ness moves around" a lot. The
case is not yet concluded and Moe.
clio wishing to be on hand when
1t is, reports each day to the Red
Cross office where he remains an
til the office closes.
Yesterday he asked the secre-
tary for a dollar to buy food. The
secretary spoke firmly but kindly:
But Moccio, It isn't time to eat
yet! And besides, Moccio, really
must insist that you bring your
brother to see me this evening
Your brother works and he ought
to provide for you. No you are
not sick, Moccic, and l am afraid
the government cannot provide for
you, though We are doing our
best"
The Red Cross has provided a
flew needs for the man when 1t
seemed absolutely necessary. On.
til the case Is proven worthy 1t is
impossible to provide permanently
for the man, however. Uncle Sam
would not trust Red Cross funds
to those who abused them.

in Car Supply.

Now that 6e lake season is
over and the price levels are shot
to pieces in the coal markets of
the East a coterie OF high B. and
O., officials. headed by President
Daniel Willard and Vice President
Charles W. Galloway. will come
here to confer with the directors
OF the Northern West Virginia
Coal Operators Association next
Tuesday morning at 0 o'clock to
answer the numerous complaints
on car supply and placements EN-.
mating from the Fairmont region.
According to- certain operators
this is a stunt procedure that B.
and o. carries out almost every
year. After 1t Is too late to help
the situation high officials Of the
system come here to "salve" over
the ineffieienoles Of the service, It
is claimed. This, they say, is the
B. and o. way Of doing things.
This is the way a prominent
coal operator and shipper summed
up the situation:
THE B. and o Is fully 5000 cars
behind on its regional distribution
In this section. Every operator
should have n list OF questions to
fire at the B. and o officials next
Tuesday. For instance, these Off.
cials should be prepared to furnish
the regional distribution at the
close OF each percentage period
during tho past ten years. In fact
they should show the distribution
on the Monongah and other dlvis.
ions during that time. They should
be asked what explanation they
have to offer for embargoing the
Monongah Division, while none OF
the mines in Ohio was enlarged
against the lakes. The Inter state
Commerce Commission has direct
ed that railroads are to publish or
are required to give information on
distribution sheets. This, l under.
stand, the B. and o., has refused
to do unless 1t has changed its at
titude very recently"
"Thep romiSe without product
ion" policy Of the B. and o., is not
taken very seriously here at pre-
sent. That the region has lost hun
dreds OF thousands OF dollars In
lake and other business is a fact
II what certain operators claim is
true.
II the meeting next Tuesday Is
confined to directors rather thar
the members generally probably
some OF the complaints will not be
/ aired, but then, too, operators
sometimes Clam up" and fail tc
present their claims.
