MANY W. VA. CANDIDATES. Sutherland for Senate and Six in Congressional Race. CHARLESTON, W. Va., August 1.— Congressional and legislative nomi- nations are being sought by a small army of men and women at today's primary election in West Virginia. United _States Senator Howard Sutherland of ElKins, republican, and national representatives in the six congressional districts are candidates for renomination. With one excep- tion all have sharp opposition. There are as many as thirty candidates for 8 seat in the state house of delegates. Senator Sutherland’s opponents are H. C. Ogden. publisher, of Wheeling; A, A Lilley. Charleston: C. F. Ei wards, Huntington, and Deacon M. F. Jones of Charleston. The democratic fight is between M. M. Neeley of Fair- mont and Mrs. Izetta Jewell Brown, wife of the late Representative Wil- liam G. Brown. The only national representative who will be renominated without op- position is Wells Goodykoontz, re- ublican, in the fifth district. There s considerable interest in the sixth district between Representative L. S. Echols of Charleston and Miss Hat- tie Stein. The polls will close at dusk. KANSAS VOTERS ACTIVE. Industrial Court Issue Topmost in Governorship Race. By the Associated Press. TOPEKA, Kans., August 1.—Indica- tions were that an unusyally heavy vote would be cast today in the Kan- sas primary, although there was a prediction of showers this afternoon. The industrial court law probably | was the most important issue of the gubernatorial race. Organized labor has taken a resolute stand against it and indorsed F. W. Knapp for repub- lican candidate. He and Tom McNeal are the only two masculine repub- lican candidates for governor who have declared themselves definitely opposed to the court. The democratic candidates have expressed themselves as antagonistic to it. On the republican ticket W. Y. Morgan of Hutchinson, W. P. Lam- bartson of Fairview and W. R. Stubbs of Lawrence are regarded as the stjongest contenders for guberna- torial nomination. Morgan and Lam- bertson are understood to favor the industrial court law. Stubbs would make the Industrial court an adjunct of the supreme court of the state. Mrs. W. D. McMory of Kansas City, also a republican candidate for nomi- nation as governor, favors perfecting the law to serve employer, emplove and the public equally well. Miss Helen Pettigrew, also of Kansas City. the other candidate for the re- publican nomination for the govern- orship, wants the law repealed. Mii Pettigrew is looked upon as a “wet. ‘Col. Leigh Hunt of Ka Jonathan Davis of Henders Martin of Lawrence, are con! for the democratic gubernatorial nomination. All have expressed op- position to the industrial court law and favor a state bonus for former service men. All three also have ad vocated & reduction in the state's ex- penditures. THRONG OEKLAHOMA POLLS. Voters Chiefly Concerned in Three- Cornered Governor Race. By the Associated Press. OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., August 1. ~—Oklahoma voters thronged to the polls today in s state-wide primary election in which the three-cornered race for the democratic nomination tor governor outweighed In intrest all other contests. Little stress had been laid on ma- tiona} issues of any sort in the gu- bernatorial primary campaign. J. C. Walton, mayor of Oklahoma City, seeks the nomination om a platform approved by the Farmer Labor R: construction Union, an organisation in Oklahoma with many prineipl similar to those of the Hun—hflr league of North Dakota. State own- o of public utilities, adoption of “Plumb plan” for the railroads of nation and state ald for farmers are among the projects which havi been indorsed by Walton. Thomas Owen a former justice of the atate supreme court and R, C. Wilson, state »ul ntendent of public Instryetion, are asking the democratic guber- natorial Mominatian.

MINE HOMES VACATED. Pa., Head Off Eviction. COKEBURG, Pa, August 1.—While coal production was being increased in this strike area. more families of strikers moved out of company houses today without waiting to be evicted. Military quarters said the district was quiet. The Pittsburgh Coal Company an- nounced that two cars were loaded at Montour Mine No. 4. A shipment also was made from the Henderson mine at Hendersonville. All of the company houses at the Montour mine have been vacated, and it was re- ported that several negro famllies had moved to Wellsburg, W. Vi Va. Union miners at Hendersonville were formally ordered to vacate company houses within ten days. NORTH CAROLINA ACTIVE. RALEIGH, N. C. August 1—As- signing as reasons for delay his ab- sence from his office and “great re- luctance to assume any responsibility in the matter of coal distribution, Gov. Cameron Morrison yesterday nd tified Secretary Hoover that he had designated the members of the North Carolina corporation commission to ct the distribution of North Caro- lina's allotment of coal. ‘After full reflection,” Gov. Morrl- son telegraphed Secretary Hoover, “I see nothing to do except to assume without any possible warrant of law the power to comply with your re- quest and I hereby designate the members of the state corporation commission to represent North Caro- lina in so far as you require repre- sentation by the state to direct the distribution of North Carolina’s al- lotment of coal.” URGES OHIO MEETING. By the Associated Press. COLUMBUS, Ohio, August 1.—Gav. Davis late yesterday made a formal appeal to President Lee Hall of the Ohlo miners’ union to meet in con- ference with operators, members of the Southern Ohio Coal Exchange, in an effort to reach an agreement that would open the mines of the Southern Ohio district. Gov. Davis also transmitted a re- quest of_the operators for such con- ference. Hia own good offices were ex- tended to aid in any manner possible fn making the proposed conference a success. The chief executive said that if the proposal for the conference is accepted by President Hall, he would arrange the date and place for hold- ing it. n his letter to President Hall, Gov. Dayis said: “An urgent and earnest desire” had been exprassed by the operators in seven counties represent- ing the Hocking, Pomeroy, Crooks- Vifle ana Jackson districts to meet with the miners’ representatives to dtscuds all questions at issue, “for the direct purpose of coming to an agreement and ending the tie-up of the mines.” officers and for Congress in the eight districts of Oklahoma were being lected.

It was to clean up this trouble that Montgomery county had la law passed at the last legisiature lauthorizing them to keep all fines col- [lected in that county to be used to es- tablish a county police force.” Montgomery county citizens declared {that the law had worked well, that a { strong county police force was on duty and that all gamblers operating on the border had been driven out. Apparently flauting their lawless- ness at the county officials, the gam- bling dens In Arlington county, ¥a. and in Prince Georges county opened last night as usual. It was believed that the publicity given to their lo- catfon and methods of operation would result in their temporary clos- ing until the storm had subsided. | There was no evidence of any activity jon the part of the county officials to close them, and the gamblers entered them daringly and with a confidence that they would be protected. Big Crowd Last Night. “The Hard Way,” one of the pre- tentious “joints” on the Suitland road, i short distance from the Cedar Hill | cemetery, was in full operation with an { unusually large last night crowd around the gaming tables. The place threw open its doors about 8 o'clock, and from then until nearly midnight a steady stream of automobiles, carrying men, entered the big yard just east of the It was estimated that about fifty machines were parked in the yard and jin an improvised garage in connection with the establishment, which was formerly used as a stable, when “The | Hard Way" was a roadhouse in the pre- Volstead days. also known as is a two-story frame struc- ture and stands at the forks of the iSuitland road and a narrow, seldom used thoroughfare, which probably was used as a detour some years ago. The { place is so situated that a person pass- {ing would inevitably see it and wonder ‘what attraction it held for the crowd of automobilists who entered and left its gates at short Intervals. Business at the Easy Way, reputed ito be the toughest of the gambling houses, which is located about one- quarter of a mile west of Highway bridge, In Arlington county, on the banks of the Potomac and within the | shadow of the Monument when the sun shines right, apparently was not 188 brisk as usual last night The place opened, however, promptly at 10 o'clock, and in half an hour six machines—three of them costly limou- sines—turned into the short road which leads a serpentine route to its doors. Each car cnrrleflnils full quota of male passengers, me of them ineatly dressed, and others :n their |shirt sleeves. When the thunderstorm {broke, shortly after 10:30 o'clock, it is estimated that at least twenty-five gamblers had entered the portals of this embryo Monte Carlo. ‘The machines which ran to “The Hasy Way” last night did not remain |long at its doors. After discharging the passengers, the cars returned to the city—probably for another load of_gamblers. Virtually all the machines used to transport the gamblers to the dens are property of the proprietors of the establishments, and ‘they maintain a regular schedule from various poings in the city to the lawless dives. The chauffeurs in the gambler's service are paid as high as $15 a night for eight hours’ work. Their houyrs are from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. While the Prince Georges county officials have given no definite indi- cation of cleaning out the youn ‘Monte Carlos in their jursidiction, Sherift A. C. Clements of Arlington county, Va.. said today that ‘it will only be a question of time be- fore we get the gamblers. Sherift Clements sald he appreclated the offer of Maj. Sullivan to co-operate with him in rounding up the gam- blers, but he expressed the balief that he did not need the Washington police. “I have got four deputies,” he sald, “and I don't need any more mi}n‘ table Th H.

G. Fischer, Mechan- ical Genius, Reaches Age Limit. Survey Director Pays Tribute to His Valuable Service. The United States government s losing by retirement this week a man, on the pay rolls at only $3,000 a year, who in the estimation of his chief has saved the people of this country untold wealth through his marvel- ous inventions. He is E. G. Fischer, mechapical en- gineer and chief of the instrument section of the coast and geodetic sur- vey. There is no man in all the gov- ernment service who can take his place, Col. E. Lester Jones, director of the survey, declared, predicting that had such & genius given his time to some great instrument-making con- cern he would have had by now a salary of $25.000 or $30,000 a year, in addition to munificent royalties from patents. So this is the way the government rewards genlius, thinks Col. Jones, and it has let slip from its service, through retirement and a salary ridiculously small, a genius whose chair and bench cannot be filled. Mechanical Engineer Fischer retires August 5. He says he will go to Paris. His plans he keeps to him- self. So modest is he, in fact, that nothing concerning his work could be learned, except through Cel Jones. The latter obtained by a official order a list of the invention he has perfected and the improve ments he has made in the instrumen- tal equipment of the survey. Tide Computing Machinme. Perhaps the most wonderful of the products of Fischer's genius is the tide-predicting machine, a maze of wheels and “eomponents.” by which, it is sald, {f one wanted to know how high the tide was when the Pilgrims landed on their stern and rockbound coast it would be com- puted, were the hour of their arrival known, by the alm%le twist of a wrist. ‘The machine does the rest. By using the llde-rred!cnng ma- chine Lieut. Commander, G. T.

Soon they will be- &in predicting the tides for 1925. The machine accomplishes. Capt. Rude sald, the work it would sixty mathematicians to do—and doe it with more precision. The tid predicting machine would be posi- tively weird, were it not just & mar- velously perfect mechanical product of one man's brain. How does it work? It requires an engineer of high degree to manipulate complicated structure. has thirty-seven component parts which, Capt. Rude explains, ‘“repr forces due to the sun and their relative positions.” These com- ponent parts are set, according to certain observations as a basis; the entire machine is connected with chains and wheels. A crank is turned. Two fountain pens on its face chart the hours and the rise and fall of the tide. And at the exact moment of high tide and of low tide the ma- chine automatically locks itseif for the operator to read and record the figure for each day of the year. Al the same time the height of the tid: above the mean low level i Over million and a half figures are turned out by this machine each year, predicting high and low tide for eighty-one principal ports of the world. Predictions are o two vears in advance, printed one year in advance and distributed throughout the world for marin For fifteen years Fischer worked on his tide predicting machine, discouragements and dark dayi Rumors went around the shops that Fischer's old machine would never work, anyhow, if he ever did get it completed. It lay on his mind, s great burden, for year after year, though he felt that his computations were made with precision. Short of help in the shops where the machine was made, he had little help In the mechanic: construction. But he kept at It and at last it was perfected. In 1910 it was put Into use, a great success.

The order is effective immediately and fixes the terminal of the several branches of the 9th street division as follows: Southbound—Takoma Park to T7th and B streets northw: Forest Glen to 7th and B streets northwest, Brightwood to 7th _and B streets northwest, Soldiers’ Home to wharves, 11th and Florida avenue to Anacostia, 11th and Florida avenue to Congre: Helghts.

The commission gives assurance in its decision that the changes will in no case result in fewer cars, but will mean more cars in some instances. At present many of the Sth street cars run from the most remote sub- urbs of Georgla avenue to Anacostia and the waterfront. It has been found that these long runs slow up service and the principal change comsists of turning back some of the city-bound cars at 7th and B streets, according to the schedule given above. Ceo ission’s Explanation. In explaining the purpose of the changes, the commission said, in par “These studies show that the over- loading of the cars on this line, as at present routed, is due to the fact that the loads from the northern and southern ends overlap in the central portion of the city, and that the op- eration of short-end trips during the rush hours does not relieve the unsat- isfactory conditions on the through cars. Under the proposed system, the long, through routes are to be aban- l from the northern end to be furned back at a cross-over to be relogated on B street, just west | [N of 7th strest morth while the | cars from the southern end will turn back_at the car barn at 1ith street| and Florida avenue. Under this plml in order to conserve the public Inter- ents as affected by cneir operations. Just as it is not desirable that a cor poration shall be allowed to impose undue exactions upon the public, 80 it is not desirable that a labor organ- isation @)l be permitted to exact unfair terms of employment or sub- ject the public to actual distresses i order to enforce its terms.” Issmes Left Unsettled. The difficulty thus far in jndustrial relations has been that some of the principles which Mr. Harding avows as fundamental have not been accepted. The capital and labor conference in Washington under the last adminie- tration was wrecked at the very start by men like L. F. Loree—a factor, by the way, in the present rail strike cause the principle of collective bargaining through'labor unions was deemed offensive. Much water has gone over since that conference, but th raised then are still unsetfled a an agreement could have been re then some of the recent conspiracic to break unionism would not have gained much ground. In fact. ofl here think these efforts to down recognized principles right of men to organize hav tributed mot a little to the industrial erisis this summer.
