RUM FLEET HALTED
IN LANDING CARGOES
OF HOLIDAY LIQUOR

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.--(By the
Associated Press. )-Smuggle and
dry forces today are fighting the sec
ond battle of Christmas off rum row,
while New. York watches.
A score of liquor carriers, COM
ing from the Bahamas and other
points where distillation is lawful,
have found themselves blocked, at
least temporarily, from landing thel-
supplies in quantity by the coast
guard cutters harassing landing par
ties afloat and dry forcesN snatching
the liquor as soon as it touches the
beaches.
But rum row, although checked.
does not concede itself defeated. 1t
has deployed until Low it stretches
along the coast from Long island
far down the Jersey shore, so as to
render the attack of the coast
guards less concentrated and keep
the land raiders on the jump as new
landing places are selected.
These land forces are what are
keeping the smugglers most worried
at present. Last year, before en-
forcement agents, state police and
county detectives were as eftectlVely
organized. it was a relatively easy
matter for bcotleggers to scatter
with their contraband liquor for
the nearest market as soon as II
once was landed.
Now it is not nearly so easy
Highways and by-ways leading in
land from the wet spots on the
coast are under constant patrol by
armed operatives securing the
countryside in automobiles. Motor
trucks get through now and then,
but enough have been captured to
make the bootleggers sit up and
take notice.
Action of government cutters in
Selling the British schooner Tomoka
and the Dutch two-sticker Zeehond
well beyond the three-mile limit has
been followed by withdrawal Of the
rum fleet to the proposed 12-mile
line concerning which the United
States is conducting treaty negotia-
tions with Great Britain.
This is all right for the mother
ships, but it makes life harder for
the small speed boats operating from
shore. It is not always easy to find
the maritime market place in the
dark and fog.

BISHOP VIA. GAMBLER
To PRESIDE At MEET
IN SAN ANTONIO, TEX.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. Ii
Sixteen bishops Of the Methodist
Episcopal church, south, five of
whom are in charge of mission work
in foreign fields, will be here De

bishops, the executive body Of the
church. The college of bishops
meets twice each year to confer on

mite announcement made as to the
business to come up, it is freely pre-
dicted that the proposed unificaticn
of the northern and southern
branches of the church will be dis
cussed.
Considerable time will be devoted,
it is believed, to transaction of mat
tiers in connection with the proposed
campaign to be conducted next year
for the purpose of raising 10000
goo for the support OF retired min
listers.
Bishop Warren A. Gambler, of At

THE PEOPLES INTEREST AT
STAKE

Another bomb-shell of injustice
and high-handed hold-up has fallen
on the people of this State from the
office of The West Virginia Central
Gas Co. of Buffalo, N. Y. A few
years ago when this company secured
franchise in this city, it was with
the understanding that they should
furnish gas at rate of zoe per
thousand with the usual &c discount
when paid at specified time. This
agreement made in good faith and an
honest contract was set aside when
they found that they were getting
higher bids on the products taken
from the soil of this State and the
people submitted to an increase of
more than 1000 allowed by what is
called The Public Service Commission
of W. Va, which in reality seems to
be only the hired bandits of The Pub
lie Utilities Companies of this State,
who can be petted, patted and pam
pered into doing the bidding of these
citizenship of this State. Banquets
and vacations at famous watering
places seems to make this body for
getful of the best interests of the
people. And now for the reason that
concerns outside the state are bidding
on the gas produced in this State at
a higher rate than this octopus cor
poration is asking another increase
Of more than 1000. Will the people
whose motto has always been, "Mon-
tani Semper Liberi," submit to this
and pour unearned and unjust dollars
into the Golfers of this company?
Prayer will not reach curse that is
immune from God, let the cities and
zenship in a body to the Governor of |
towns send it's representative citi- |
this State and ask him to intercede |
with this Public Service Commission,
which has been SO forgetful in the |
past of the peoples interests, and if |
they can not be made to see the light |
ask them to resign or be displaced by /
the governor and honest men put in
their places, if these cannot be found |
then abolish this court which only |
hears and sees the side of Money

carriers. hIf West Virginia is to come
in under the wire a safe winner in
the suppression of infectious and con-
tagious diseases, we must look more
closely after the protection of the
children who must spend five days
week in the school room.
By making education compulsory
we have automatically assumed the
responsibility of keeping the school
safe. 1t is therefore, of far-reaching
Importance that all children be given
careful examination before enter
ing or as they are about to enter
school to deterfine whether or not
they are disease carriers or coming
from homes where a contagious or
infectious disease exists. In the
frequently where that infection is
school, the spreading of infection is
a serious problem because it is more
transferred between children of wide
ly separated households. Before the
opening of school, I would suggest
that sample of the water supply be
sent to the State Laboratory for ana
lysis; where water is absolutely
known to be safe, this is not necess-
airy. This precaution may prevent an
epidemic of typhoid fever, dysentery,
and other water borne diseases. This
