SHEPPARDL|QUOR
PLANTS |NDORSED
Anti-SaIoon League Attor'
ney Favors New Change
in Constitution.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Sheppard resolution to amend
the Constitution and give Congress
the right to regulate or prohibit traff1c
in alcoholic beverages was indorsed
last night by Edward B. Dunford. at
torney for the Anti-Saloon League of
America, as the most constructive
suggestion offered since the repeal Of
the eighteenth amendment"
Dunford said in a statement that
Senator Sheppard, Democrat, of Texas,
"the author of the eighteenth amend
ment and whose devotion to the
principle of prohibition is well estab-
lished," was to be congratulated for
offering at this time a proposal for
consideration and action somewhat
different from anything yet advanced,
but which should furnish a common
ground upon which all persons sin
cerely interested in temperance may
work toward the ultimate solution of
the problem of alcoholism"
Such an amendment" he said,
would furnish means by which the
Federal Government could bring order
out of the present chaotic conditions
respecting the liquor traffic, and at
the same time prevent the existence
of the saloon, already re-established
in many States. The right of any
State to retain or enact prohibition
would be retained, as would also the
protection OF the guarantee against
importation in violation of State law
now contained in the twenty-firs
amendment.
Congress would not be required to
enact any legislation. 1t would simply
be given power to act as experience
and public sentiment demanded. 1t
could not force legalized liquor on a
State which did not desire it. but it
would be empowered to establish .

THIEVES ENTER CHURCH,
STEAL BIBLE, HYMN
BOOKS AND LAMPS

1t seems just little bit unneces-
sary to steal a Bible, especially
from a house of worship, in order
to obtain the wisdom taught there
in, when there is a Maryland Bible
Society which distributes the word
of God to practically any person
who desires it, but that is exactly
what happened at the Oak Grove
Methodist Episcopal church in the
Ryan's Glade community during
the past week.
On Sunday, November IS, Rev.
R. T. Bracken, pastor of the church
and of the flock in that and other
nearby communities, preached in
the church there and left his Bible
lying on the pulpit. He returned to
the church last Sunday to conduct
a worship service and found that
not only his Bible had been stolen
but that several hymnals and the
lamps used to illuminate the build
ing had also been stolen.
1t has not been learned who the
guilty party is.

This Might Have Been A Swell
Feature Story But For
One Thing!

A rumor of finding a quantity of
boarded money in an old trunk at a
recent sale, seems to be nothing more
than a rumor, and thereby the chance
for swell feature story is lost.
A story is going about town that at
the auction of the late John Yeloly's
personal belongings the auctioneer
was about to sell trunk. The only
surviving heir, John Davis, of New
York, decided to look into it-and
therein hangs the tale. He was sup
posed to have found a quantity of
money. At first the amount was told
to be only $1,000; but by the time it
had been told, perhaps a hundred
times by perhaps fifty people, it had
stretched until the amount discovered
had been $4,000. Another week, and
the trunk would have been full of
thousand dollar bills.
An account of the sale, filed by the
administrator, A. T. Matthews, with
the register of wills, shows no such
sum, and Mr.. Matthews states that no
sum of money was found. Too bad!
What a swell story it would have
made!

BLAZE AT STANLEY MINES
CAUSES Loss OF $4,000
Three Motors, Valued at $4,000
Each; Cutting Machine, Elec-
trical Equipment Destroyed
RECONSTRUCTION BEGUN

Fire of undetermined origin, COM
pletely destroyed the motor barn and
blacksmith shop, in which were three
lotion motors valued at $4,000 each,
and other valuable electrical equip
ment, of the Stanley Coal Company,
near Crellin, shortly before midnight
Monday night. The loss is estimated
at $4,000 by company officials, none
of which is covered by insurance.
The work of rebuilding was started
yesterday after Charles W. Ream,
president, had made an investigation
to learn the cause of the fire. William
Dewitt, youth, discovered fire in
the building Monday evening about
$50, evidently caused by throwing a
cigaret or lighted match on the floor
where there was a greasy rag. This
was extinguished by Dewitt and Har-
ry Wilt, Waterman. 1t was thought
that the fire about midnight may have
been caused from the one earlier in
the evening, which probably
smouldered.
The midnight fire was discovered by
Luther Jordan, Waterman, who sum-
moned the Oakland fire department,
but it had gained too great Roadway
by the time anyone had arrived The
mine is about six miles from Oak
land. The building was of wooden
construction about 40 by 100 feet. The
firemen devoted their attention to saw
ing several smaller buildings.
Although the loss seriously handi-
caps the company, work will be con-
tinued and the 300 men who have en-
ployment will be divided into a day
and a night shift. In this way work
will continue and orders will continue
to be filled, although it was stated the
cost of getting out the coal would be
more expensive.
Mr.. Ream stated that in the build
ing which burned was heavy stock
of armatures and other electrical
equipment, repair parts for coal cut
ting machines and other valuable
equipment A coal cutting machine
was also destroyed.

the times through the past century.

modelled her own gown.
Mrs. W. W. Grant, historian, gave
the history of each gown as those who
were modelling marched down the
aisle, beginning the program with the
reading of a poem written by Mrs.
Ralph Weber. Vocal selections were
rendered by Miss Nell Compton, Mrs.
Russell Brown, Miss Helen Jones, and
Mrs. F. A. Thayer, Jr. Organ music
throughout the pageant was given by
