TAKES STEPS TO BRING
WITHERS TO STATE SCHOOL

The alumni Of West Virginia Uni
versity in meeting held at Charles
ton, Nov. % pledged their support
to DR.. John w. Withers, dean Of the
College Of Education Of New York
University, and asked him. in tele-
gram to reconsider his refusal Of the
presidency Of the state institution.
The squabble over the affairs Of
the head Of the University arose
from a letter made public which was
written by DR.. Shawkey, president Of
Marshall College to Supt. George N.
Ford regarding the possible appoint
ment Of DR.. Withers as president.
DR.. Shawkey in his letter, stated
that he thought there were men In
the state who were capable Of hold
ing the position and that the salary
offered was too high.
DR.. Withefs Immediately wired Uni
gilman, and considered one of the
leading educators of thenation, has
been discussed for sometime as
possible president to take the place
| of Dr. Frank b. Trotter, who resign
ed his post some time ago. 1t was
generally understood among the pat
rons and friends Of the University
that DR.. Withers would take the
place and that the vacancy would be
filled soon, when DIR. Shakey spills
the beans" by his letter to Mr.. Ford.
! Upon the publication oft he letter
DR.. Withers Immediately wired Univ
versity authorities and the State
Board Of Control that he could not
think of considering the place.
| Violent discussion of the subject
have arisen in the newspapers of the
state. Huntington papers uphold DR..
Shawkey in his stand and accuse
Morgantown and northern West
Virginia with trying to make the
University the only school in the
state and charging the other state
and charging the other state schools
with trying to prevent appropriation
for Marshall College.
The remainder Of the state news
papers seem to feel that there is too
much Of the school politics" element
in the whole thing and accuse DR..
Shawkey Of coveting the presidency
Of the University for himself.
A committee composed Of number
Of prominent men of the state will go
to New York soon to confer with DR..
Withers and ask that he reconsider
his refusal.

EDITORIAEN

w. A. Street, in signed article to-
day in The Philippi Republican,
bursts his spleen in referring to the
Progressive as "IT" some kind OF
a Deity, we suppose. He seems TO pc
unable to distinguish the difference
between an editorial and news item.
The Progressive did not, nor does
not enter into the merits or demerits
Of the new tribunal for Barbour
county, but suffice it to say, TINS
tribunal has both good and evil, ana
the balance Of power for either IS
not sufficient over which to lose
sleep. We merely followed the crowd
and voted for it, feeling at the same
time it was mistake from the stand
point Of political economy.
Mr.. Street should place his spec
tacles straight on his nose, read again
the article in The Progressive OF last
week, and If there are any ear-marks
of "we" within the stars, Wen DC
willing to be exiled to Utopia.
1t is true we were Hannis Taylor
scape goat, but in the crucial test
came thru the sacrifice like a lamb,
and have long since turned over the
butting instinct to "Uncle Bill"

LOST IN MINE FOR SO HOURS

Charleston, Nov 23.-State and
federal mine rescue workers tonight
located Dewey Smith and John Walk
err, who had been lost since Sunday
in an abandoned coal mine in the hills
above Show Hill, a few miles from
this city.
The men had been in the mines for
So hours when found by rescuers. Al
though Walker had to be carried out,
physicians, who examined him de-
clared neither was seriously affected
from his experience.
As soon as they were taken out of
the mine the men were taken to their
homes.
Lying exhausted and helpless, a
mile under the hills from the main
mouth they had entered So hours ear
lier, Walker and Smith were discov-
cred by one of the volunteers who had
kept up a careful combing of each en-
try and room of the old workings.
C. H. Forbes, of Charleston, min
err, who had joined the volunteer
forces only a short time before, was
the first to come upon them. Forbes
in one of these side entries heard a
faint answer to his calls and pushed
on another SO feet to find Smith and
Walker. With hope revived they
started back with their rescuer, but
Walker, the younger, and at the start
apparently the stronger, collapsed
and was carried on a stretcher for
the last half mile Of the underground
journey.

HEARING ON new COUNTY COURT
TRIBUNAL TO BE HELD DECEMBER Ii
Court Met Last Saturday and Enter
ed Order in Reference to the New
Tribunal Attorneys Take Different
Stands on Constitutionality.

The Barbour County Court met
Saturday, November goth and entered
the following order with reference to
the new tribunal for Barbour County.
This will occasion quite an interesting
discussion, as some attorneys take the
stand that the act of the Legislature
is constitutional, and furthermore
that the rest of the procedure is reg
ular At any rate this case may be
carried to the Supreme Court.
Senator Hugh S. Byrer, the pro-
ponent of the bill, says he has -
fears but what it is regular and will
stand the test of the courts. He says
it is not a constitutional amendment
bill. The Court order follows:
sIn the matter Of canvassing of the
returns relating to the modification of
the County Court of Barbour County
as set forth in an order heretofore en-
tered herein, on November s, 1926, in
which the number of votes for and
against modification were set out, but
in which order, no proclamation was
made as to whether or not said pro-
posed amendment could or would be
effective as is provided by chapter 1T
Of the Acts Of the Legislature Of
West Virginia, 1925,
.sAND Therefore, came R F. Ryan,
citizen, voter and taxpayer Of Bar

attorney, who moved the County
Court of Barbour county, to reject ii.

Of Modification for the following rea-
sons:
First, Because no proper Amend

ture Of 1925, or at any other time
upon said question.
Second. Because the question
under the constitution and laws Of
this state, was rot properly submitted
t. the voters at the election held on
November 2, 1926.

Texas oil lands which he says he hat
been considering for sometime.
I On the train on which he left tn
city, he says, there were severa
