BELINGTON POLICE CASES
IN COURT

What came as surprise last Fri
day to those familiar with the case
was the verdict of the jury, in the
Circuit Court now in session in Phil
ippi, on the case of the state VS.. Por-
ter Stalnaker, former Chief-of- Police
of Belington, who shot Clyde Erwin
some months, ago while an apparent
mob interfered and resisted the arrest
of Dick Erwin for drunkenness and
disorderly conduct. Mr.. Stalnaker
failed to get some important Witness
es while in the midst of the trial and
as was supposed conviction was
improbable, he went on with the case:
as result Stalnaker was convicted
and given the minimum sentence, he
then Immediately took a ninety-day
stay, giving bond for appearance at
the expiration of that time.
w. w. Sherman, a former Chief-of
police, of Belington, who was indict-
ed for hitting Mat Shomo, had his
case tried and was acquittedby a jury
last Friday evening.
Much interest in these two cases
was noticed all over the county, es-
pecially was this noticeable by fthe
executive officers who are required
to make arrests and carry firearms
for protection.

SHOW STRANDED HERE;
WIFE OF MGR. ARRESTED

Florence Wright, wife of the man
aeer of the show known as Abie's
Little Rose, which played at the
Grand Theatre, last week, was arrest
ed Thomas. Saturday morning, on a
warrant sworn out by Pearl Young,
charging her with stealing certain
baggage when she checked out from
the Western Maryland station, here,
Saturday morning.
Mrs. Wright was brought back to
Elkins and given hearing before
Justice r, B. Caplingar Saturday
afternoon. After a short hearing
Justice Caplinger returned verdict
Of guilty and released the prisoner
and witnesses on their own recognize
ances to appear at the February term
OF the Grand Jury.
The evidence of the witnesses at the
hearing brought out that Abie's Little
Rose with its present cast of players
was thing Of the past 1t is the
story of the hardships of a struggling
weupe with production which did
not draw large houses, and an un-
ssrupulous manager who, it Is report
ed, when he saw that the venture was
abeut to fail, slipped away with all
the money in his pocket, leaving his
troupe behind to pay the hotel bill
with not even enough money to pro-
Gre meal.
One witness stated at the hearing
that during the last few days the
players had at tnaise actually gone
while the manager and his wife far
ed well and even fed the pet poodle
the rarest of steaks. But the climax
Of it all was when the hungry actors
and actresses, which included Abie's
Little Rose, woke up, last Saturday
nssrning to find they had been aband-
ened without money to procure tic
kets to their homes or even to buy
decent meal.
Luckily for them, the managers
wife either by intent or mistake had
taken a trunk which contained their
baggage in place of her own. With
this as basis they got busy and
through the authorities stopped her
at Thomas. With her under the
threat of spending a few weeks in
the county Jail, they raised enough
neney to procure tickets to New
ysrk4ElEins Ilrter-M Mountain.

NELSON WOODS
SHOOTS SELF
Young PhiliHpi Attorney and Mrs.
Georgia Warder Figure in Grue-
some Tragedy Which Stirs Town
of INTERPRETATIONS Not Expect
to Live.

Neeson G.. Woods, prominent young
attorney of Philippi, killed himself at
Bridgeport shortly after Ia o'clock
this morning after firing two shots
into the body Of Mrs. Georgia Warder
aged 90, young widow, of Bridgeport.
Mrs. Warder, while still alive at The
Exponents press time, was not ex-
pected to live, one Of the bullets hav-
ing penetrated the back of her head
and another entering near her heart.
Bridgeport was startled when the
five shots rang out in the still morn
ing hour. While there were no wit
nesses to the shooting, others in the
neighborhood told the gruesome story
The shooting occurred at the home
of Wade Sandridge, brother of Mrs.
Warder, who roomed with her bro
TIERS family in what was the old
Methodist Protestant church on
Church street.
According to the story given those
who gathered about the home after
the shooting. Woods, who was %

young widow, Early last evening
they had been in Clarksburg and a.
long with Mr.. Woods mother, Mrs. J

Waldo hotel. Mrs. Woods and her
son had been at the Waldo two days
and it was stated he had called on
Mrs. Warder also Tuesday night.
Following dinner they had return
ed 10 Bridgeport in a taxi and the
driver had been told BY Mr.. Woods
to wait. Not long after this the
shots were fired. 1t was understood
that the last words heard by anyone
were the following from Woods while
they stood in hallway, "Well, IL
you don't marry me, nobody else can
have you
Immediately after the shooting,
doctors were summoned and Mrs
Woods, who was at the Waldo, was
called. She went to Bridgeport early
this morning. Because of excite
ment incident to the affair, little could
be learned about the actual condition
Of Mrs. Warder this morning, or what
steps would be taken in the case.
Mrs. Warder is daughter Of Mr.
and Mrs. W. H. Sandridge and her
father, who was in Grafton this morn
ing, was summoned. Her husband,
Oran Warder, was accidentally kill
ed few years ago and she has
son, Oran, aged about four years.
From the stories told at Bridgeport,
Mr.. Woods had pleaded with the
woman to marry him and that they
had been "going together" for some
time. 1t was said her parents OPP
posed the match
Mr.. Woods was the only son Of
Mrs. j. Hop Woods, his father, who
was prominent attorney, having
died few years ago. He had come

INAUGURATION PLANS

The inauguration of President
Coolidge on March 4, may be heard
by more than 25,00o,000 people.
Powerful radio stations connected
by a net work of long distance lines
will broadcast the ceremonies, Incl
dent to the Inauguration over the
United States. In addition Bell pub
lie address system equipment will be
installed on the Capitol Plaza so that
"all who come may hear.
At the Harding Inauguration
March 4, 1921 this loud speaker
equipment was used publicly for the
first time and more than $4,000
people within a radius of 1900 feet
of the speakers stand heard the en-
tire ceremony clearly and distinctly.
The Congressional Inaugural
Committee has approved the plans.
and issued a Statement on the project
which follows in part:
Another epodh-making event I'm
the swiftly moving history of radio
broadcasting is foreseen in the ar.
engagements now being completed to
enable the entire radio audience of
the United States to listen IN to the
inaugural ceremonies at Washington
on March 4.
"The proceedings vii lbe broadcast
il 4r~l4 = IL
station of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company in New York
City, coming from Washington over
that company's long distance tele-
phone lines, and will be transmitted
by other telephone lines to many
others stations throughout the coun-
try which will broadcast the cere-
monies simultaneously.
''The Radio Corporation Of Ameri-
ca will broadcast the ceremonies
through Station WRC in Washington
by means of wire lines transmitted
to Station WIZ in New York City and
WGY in Schenectady, N. Y, for re-
broadcasting at those points.
in addition to the broadcasting Of
this event, the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone Company will in
stall public address loud-speaking
equipment at the Capitol, which will
enable those witnessing the ceremon-
les to hear word for word just what
is said"
A local committe in charge of the
spectacular feature Of the inaugur-
alton has been authorized by the Pre-
sident to hold small parade and to
limit the official contingents from each
Of the States to bodies of 100 or less.
Accordingly, this years parade will
be small in numbers.
A court Of honor may be erected in
front of the White House as an ad-
junct to the Presidents reviewing
stand, although this is matter of
detail that has not been determined.
Owing to the Presidents insistence
that the ceremony shall be as simple
as possible, as a spectacle it will not
rank with inaugurations prior to 1920
President Harding set an example of
simplicity that President Coolidge is
disposed to follow, although he has
agreed to some elaboration.

THE MAN WHO DOES BEST

By James Edward Hungerford
No matter how little he's getting;
No matter how little he's got.
If he wears grin, and is trying to
win
He is doing a mighty lot!
No matter how humble his job is,
If he's striving to reach tie crest,
The world has a prize for TIE fellow
who tries
The man who is doing his BEST!
Today he may be at the bottom
Of the ladder to wealth and fame,
On the lowest rung, where he's brave
ly chung,
In spite of the knocks-dead game!
But slowly he's gaining a foothold,
His eyes on. the uppermost round;
It's hard old climb, but he knows
in time
He will land-and be looking down!
The fellow who never .surrenders,
And is taking things as they come;
Who never says quit, and exhibits
grit,
When the whole worlds looking
glum;
The fellow who stays to the finish
That nothing can hinder or stop,
And who works like sin, is the chap
who'll win
And some day he'll land on top!
