TRADE
IN POLICE court

The question At Issue in the
case of the city of Falrmont
against Ia. G.. Shahan in police
court this morning was whether
mot a dog owned by Snahan was
such a dangerous dog as to be a.
menace to the city of Farm ont.
The case was con tinued until to-
morrow morning and the Ultimate
question will be whether or not
Fairmon It's police force is prop erly
managed, and If not. to what ex-:
tent its poor mana cement Is res
ponsible for West Virginia's bad;
name.
Shahan was before Mayor w.
w. Conway this morning on a
charge Of keeping a vicious and
4dngerous dog. He admitted having,
a dog which did quite a bit Of
barking but denied that the dog
was vicious or dangerous. he
consented to permitting the ofh-I
GERS to dispose of the dog, and for
a while it looked as though Sha-
han and Mayor Conawa were go
ing to reach an agreement salts
factory to both parties, but sud
denly the whole aspect Of the
situation changed.
mo wonder West Virginia has
a bad name,'' exclaimed Shahan as
he expressed a resentmentSto the
action of those responsible for his
arrest. He stated that he had lived
in another state for period OF
thirty years and never before had
he been hailed into court.
"All right, Mr.. Shahan. you can
Just appear in police court ton1or-
row morning, prepared to defend
yourself Of the charge Of having a.
.dangerouS dog" explained tt 3
Inayor The city has five witness
es, all Of whom have complained
about the dog and who will be
summoned into court tomorrow
morning to testify AGAINST shahan.
Mayor Conway stated that he
was tired of hearing so much
about West virginia's bad name
and showed a determ1nati ton to
make sure that shahan was given
ALI the justice that could bel
afforded in any other state.

Of the most Jealous voluntary

In discussing the coal situation
the President referred to what he
termed the Shocking crime at Her

and Mortified the country and add
ed the incident was wrought IN

Other than the amendment OF the
Esch- Cummins Law to make the

recommend legislation to deal I'M

Without Legal Power
In, asking for coal legislation
the President said that the admin
istration has sought earnestly to
restrain proiteering and to secure
the rightful distribution of coal
but was without legal power to
control prices
Government by law must and
will be sustained, the President
said ..'no matter what clouds may
gather, no matter what storms
may ensue; no matter what hard-
ships may attend nor what sacrl-
fee may be necessary.
Stating that sympathetic rail

Friday Bad Luck.
Right off the reel the supersti-

not like the idea of starting TO

With Saturday coming on, it Is
not very likely that production will
assume any degree toward nor

ers are soft from their long hol.-
day, and it will require little
time before they can mine and load
coal in old time form.
More Empties Ordered.
Il Mines in Northern West Virginia
today ordered LIT empties. This
is approximately 400 empties more
than the mines ordered under ncn'

Between the pressure ofthe gov.
