BAND HAS NOT RECEIVED
ANY FINANCIAL AID YET
Boys Band of Oakland Practic-
ing Regularly

Although the Oakland Boys band
has not received any financial aid
or any encouragement, progress is
being made" R. R. Gilbert, director,
said yesterday. "The number of
boys practicing has increased to IS,
but advancement is made difficult,
because of the old instruments"
The two members are Junior Dixon
and Fred. Peddicord, Jr.
at is discouraging for a boy to
have to blow upon a horn which only
brings out discords," Mr.. Gilbert
pointed out, "and for that reason,
either the parents or other interested
people, should see that new instru-
ments are provided"
The success of the band will de-
pend upon the interest of the men,
bers being kept up, according to Mr..
Gilbert, and this can be done only by
the parents helping out. "No, there
has been no offer for financial aid"
concluded Mr.. Gilbert.

Tucker County Gold Rush.

"The gold rush into Tucker county,"
says last Thursdays Elkins Enter
PRISE" is taken much more seriously
away from here than in Parsons or
Tucker county or on Clover Run or
anywhere in the so-called gold fields
For instance, Rev. Ross Johnson, the
pastor of the Methodist Protestant
church in Parsons was in Elkins this
week and informed us that the State
Conference of that church was to be
convened in Parsons next month and
that he had received letter from the
Bishop of the church in which he said
that he had been reading all about the
gold rush to Tucker and the crowded
condition of Parsons with tents up all
around the town and wanting to know
if they had better not change the Con-
ference to some other town where
they would have more room and not
be crowed so badly. Rev. johnson re-
piled that he failed to see the tents
as yet or any special rush of gold
seekers and that there was no neces-
sity so far to make any change"

The speakers address was given
over mainly to driving away the blues,
his subject being Bouncing the

best ever delivered before the club.
Another feature of the meeting was
the special music rendered by the club

COOLIDGE SPRINGS A BIG
SURPRISE in STATEMENT
Yesterday In Which He Declared
He Does Not Wish To Run for
President in 1928.

President Coolidge yesterday issued
the simple statement that 81 do not
choose to run for President in 1925"
taking his close associates completely
by surprise. He gave no extra COM
ment with the announcement. The
fourth anniversary of his taking the
oath of Office upon the death of War
rem G. Harding was selected by the
President for making the announce
ment, which yesterday seemed to have
lighted the fires of the 1928 political
campaign.
Whatever may have been in the
Presidents mind, it is believed from
circumstances yesterday that he knew
exactly what he wanted to say some
time before he said it. The concensus
of opinion among Senators and politi-
cal leaders is that his statement was
a definite stand and that he would not
be a candidate for the nomination
next year.

Picnic Committee Enthused and
Working Overtime.

The committee in charge of ar
engagements for the Labor Day picnic
is going strong and seemingly have
plenty of pep. Two meetings are held
each week-Monday evening at 6:45
and Friday evening at 7:15. Not only
is the presence of each committeeman
requested, but anyone who has good
suggestion or who can lend hand in
the furtherance of this picnic, will
find the welcome sign displayed.
The Chevrolet coach seems to be
one of the topics of conversation on
the streets and in public places. We
can predict the number of tickets that
will be sold when in the hands of such
competent statesmen as A. G. Gortner
and S. L. Townshend? Townshend,
whom we affectionately call "Red",
brought home the bacon last year and
rendered a good account of himself.
AS a dispenser of tickets he is unex-
celled 80 do not forget to give him the
once over.
Slight changes have been made in
the personnel Of the picnic committee,
but generally speaking they will stand
as announced. We wish to explain to
the public concerning the omission of
the name of one of the most interested
members of this Labor Day outfit.
The gentleman in question is the gen.
eral chairman of the committee and
bears the burden of hearing the re-
port of each member twice a week
and in reality outlined the committees
and appointed the various members.
He is none other than Chancellor
Commander Paul Bartlett Naylor. He
shuns publicity, lodges the limelight,
prefers obscurity and is a power be-
hind the throne Of Pythianism. Upon
him depends much, but as he and
Manager w. o. Droege are efficient in
their respective fields of endeavor,
success should crown their efforts and
make the 9Th annual Labor Day pic
mic the greatest of all.

safe margin. Oakland's lone tally
came in the sixth inning. The lineup

BUSINESS MEN MAY HAVE
CHARGE OF FAIR One DAY
Meeting Will Be Held In City
Hall Monday Night To Take
Definite Action on Matter

Whether or not the business men Of
Oakland will have charge of one day
of the Garrett County Fair, to be held
September 20, 81, %, and %, will be
decided at meeting Monday night in
the City Hall of all the business men
of the community or their representa-
tives, according to Cecil Smith, secre-
tary of the Oakland Commercial Club.
The subject was brought up at the
regular monthly meeting of the eleven
members of the board of directors of
the club on Tuesday evening, and it
was decided then to put the question
up to all the business men for their
decision.
Should they decide to have charge
of the fair for one day, there will be
a parade including the displays of the
business houses of town and other
things of interest to business men.
Alvey R. Martin and H. P. Stuck,
members of the committee appointed,
interviewed the business men and no.
titled them what the meeting would
be for and urged that they either at
tend in person or send representa-
tive.
Either the second or fourth day Of
the fair will be given over to the men,
should they decide to accept the re-
sponsibility.

ROAD FROM FRIENDSVILLE
NORTH WILL BE BUILT NOW
Of Macadam Instead of Concrete
as was Originally Contemplated

Sealed proposals for building one
section of State highway from the
town of Friendsville toward the Penn
sylvania State line, for a distance of
2.15 miles are to be received by the
State Roads Commission until August
9th, according to an advertisement in
viting such bids appearing in The
Republican today.
This advertisement is made neces-
sary because of the fact of change
of plans concerning the proposed road.
Originally it was the intention Of the
Highway Commission to construct a
mile and one-half of the roadway, US
ing concrete as the material, while the
advertisement appearing today speci-
fies penetration macadam and will be
nearly twice as long as the concrete
highway originally advertised, carry
ing the improved road to the point at
which grading and draining has
been completed, near the Blooming
Rose Church.

SEARCH FOR NEW MOTIVE
IN MURDER OF STOTLER
Officials Do Not Believe Reason
Given For Staying of Prohibi-
ton Agent Was Real Motive

Searching for a possible new mo-
tive in the Staying of Hunter R. Stot-
Ter, prohibition chief who was we'll
known in Garrett county, the effects
of the murdered man are being exam
ined by Federal and county authori-
ties. R. E. Walters, the confessed
slayer of his chief, has denied that he
was the tool of bootlegging ring and
still maintains that he killed Stotler
because of the latter's alleged init
macy with is wife.
In the letters, personal files and
other correspondence of the slain man,
the authorities hope to find evidence
to show that Stotler was suspicious of
Walters alleged conspirency with the
moonshiners of the Frog Hollow Sec
ton of Washington county, where the
murder took place.
Mrs. Stotler, widow of the dry
agent, Indignantly denies that her
husband had illicit relations with Mrs.
Walters allegedconspiracy with the
Walters sticks to her story of being
drugged by Stotler and becoming his
Glove slave"
The first hint that Walters was con-
nected with moonshiners was obtained
from Edwin M. Rinker, private detec-
tive, who formerly served as prohibi-
ton agent and worked with both Stot-
Ter and Walters. He made no definite
charge against Walters, but intimated
that Stotler had learned of a plot
which involved Walters with a bunch
of moonshiners. 1t is known that this
moonshine gang had threatened to
"get" Stotler, but whether or not Wal
tiers was the tool of this band is a
question.
Funeral Last Friday.
Funeral services for Stotler were
held last Friday afternoon at Keyser,
West Va, the Rev. Watson E. Holly,
officiating. Interment was made in
Rose Hill cemetery, Cumberland.

IMPOSSIBLE FOR COUNCIL
TO FATHOM POOLE'S DEPTH
Kitzmiller Magistrate Blandly
Refuses To Hear Case

Walter Taylor, August and Tom
Hanlin, had all been arrested on a
charge of being drunk and disorderly
at Kitzmiller and had been lodged in
the city 'cooler." They wanted
trial, and they had right to demand
it, but circumstances did not permit
this until Tuesday evening when one
of the Oakland magistrates, w. A..
Gender, accompanied by E. R. Jones,
attorney for the city of Kitzmiller,
went to that place and the young men
were given hearing by the Oakland
Justice, Mr.. Jones appearing as the
representative of the town in the mat
ter.
The Justice of the Peace at Kitzmil-
Ter, Grover Poole, was said by Justice
Gender to be literally con the outs"
with the Mayor and Town Council and
therefore refused to give the offenders
against the peace, dignity and maj
esty of the State" a hearing. Mayor
T. w. Ebert would have stepped in
and heard the case except for one
thing-he is deaf, and therefore de-
clined.
There was nothing else to do. Either
the boys would have to be tried Or
released from the lookup, and as
there was no sign of a thaw between
the magistrate and the Town Council,
Oakland was called on for help.
Justice Gender fined the offenders
S. and costs each, which they paid and
were dismissed after they entered a
plea of guilty to the charges against
them.
