CHARLESTON, w. Va, June IT, An unparalleled industrial situation, which last summer brought about an open rebellion of miners, is expected to have a wide influence in West Vir- ginia's "off year" election this autumn. Especially in the First District, which contains Wheeling, the largest city in the State, and in the Sixth, where lies Charleston, the State capi- | tai, is the voice of the laborer against industrial ownership of government" expected to have it's political effect. In the Sixth District the nliuers' uprising was matched as the work CTS answer to the virtual ownership of Logan and Mingo counties by the coal operators. Among the largest coal fields of the State are those in this district Likewise, in the First District lie extensive bituminous op- erations, where there has been more or less trouble since the strike.
 The state primary, August 1, will nominate candidate for the United States Senate, congressman from each district, one State Senator from each district and a few minor county officials.
 PLENTY OF COMPETITION
 There is plenty of competition for the Senatorial nomination on the Re publican side of the fence, but so far no Democrat has announced.
 Senator Howard Sutherland, Repub- lican incumbent, is confident of nomi- nation and seems to have an advan- tage, with the vote well divided.
 Samuel B. Montgomery, former State labor commissioner and once non-partisan candidate for governor, who now is assisting in the defense in the miners treason trial, has in- dicated he will be a candidate for the Republican nomination. Honest Abe" Lilly, Charleston, former State attorney general, wants the G. O. r. senatorial nomination, but his enemies are recalling the Robinson-Lilly fight of 1916, which terminated in the elec- tion of a Democratic governor, to his disadvantage c. F. Edwards, man. ufacturer, has announced from Hunt ingtOn.
 The position of Walter s. Halla- nan, State tax commissioner is un- certain. Hallanan has been boosted for the senatorial nomination., but, according to his own statement, he is more likely to be candidate for governor in 1924. He is one of the strongest figures in State Republican nOliticS

School Board Meeting Hears of
CroWding in Letter From
George Buck.
MUSIC SCHOOL RENTED
Study Hours Spent in Caleb
Mills Hall Without Facilities
for Writing.

Crowded conditions at Shortridge
High School were called to the atten-
ton of the board Of school commission
ers by George Buck. principal of
Shortridge, in a letter presented at
the board meeting last night.
So great is the congestion at Short
ridge that it is impossible to take care
Fof some of the larger classes. such as
the music class containing ia pupils,
in the regular buildings. For several
years these classes have met at the
Metropolitan School of Music, directly
across North ST., from Shortr1dge.
These quarters have cost the school
board $500 a year. All efforts to OBJ
tain satisfactory rooms in nearby
school buildings have failed the letter
stated.
The board decided to go ahead with
the old arrangement for another year.
During the discussion Z. L. Graft,
superintendent of schools, said that
Sho-tridge is so crowded that it is
necessary for pupils 10 spend their
study hours in Caleb Mills Hall. There
are no desks or arm chairs in this hall
which makes it almost impossible for
work tC. be done requiring writing.
"Abcut all a pupil can do is to hold
a book in his hand and study" he
said.
No provisions for extension Of high
school facilities are contained in the
present building program Of the school
board.
Purchase of a seventeen-acre tract
az Belmont Ave. and W. Washington
ST. for new west side high school
also was urged upon the board of
school commissioners. The peti-
ticn was signed by the Federation Of
Civic Clubs of Indianapolis and is
backed by the educational committee
of the Chamber of Commerce, accord
ing to the Rev. Clarence G. Baker.
pastor Of the West Park Christian
Church, who presented the matter
The Rev. Mr.. Baker explained that
immediate construction Of high
school is not asked, but he said this
is the most desirable high school site
west OF the river and should be pur-
chased now. He said that about one
seventh Of the school population Of
the city lives west Of White River
and that there are about 500 high
school pupils in the number. Two
thirds Of the school population Of this
part of Indianapolis is within walk
ing distance of the site, he said
The matter was referred to the com
mite on buildings and grounds. The
building program recently recon-
mended by the committee makes no
provision for high school extensions
of any character.

STOCK SNINDLING
SCHEME IS FOUND
Three Officials of New York
Concern Held by Postal
Inspectors.
By United Nstos


NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-An alleged
new stock swindle whereby investors
all over the country were defrauded
out Of at least S1,OO0.OO0 was revealed
n the arrest of three men and the in
dictment OF thirteen others connected
with the Crager System. Inc.
Postal inspectors, charging use OF
the mails 10 defraud, raided the COM
pany's handsomely furnished office
just of Broadway, and nabbed Benja-
min Crager. president of the concern;
Henry Crager. hts father, vice presi-
dent, and Joseph Dorm, an associate.
L. S. Commissioner Hitchcock held
each of the prisoners in $4,000 bail.
Unsold Stock Bought
The plan of the Crager system, It is
said, was to buy all unsold stock from
concerns needing capital badly, with
the understanding that the lists OF
shareholders be given with the pur-
chase.
Circulars were then sent the stock
holders, telling them that the com
pany in which they had invested was
prospecting; that it had sold all its
stock and that the value Of each share
would soon go up.
The victim, seeing chance to buy
and sell at a profit. would purchase
from the Cragers. Not until he tried
to resell the stock would he find he
had been tr.cked.
