NEWS IN GENERAL.
Over a million persons have sign-
ed petitions, sent telegrams or letters
to the governor of Georgia to stay the
execution of Leo. M. Frank, of Atlanta,
Ga., condemned to death for the murd-
er of 14-year-old Mary Phagan. There
never has been such an appeal made
in the history of the country and
there is much probability that Frank
is innocent.
Notwithstanding Holland's
mount desire to keep out of the war
there is evidence that the situation is
para
becoming intolerable to the Dutch
government. The attitude of Belgi-
um’s neighbor is being watched with
keenest interest in London. The sink-
ing of the Lusitania had an immense
effect. The whole nation is becoming
intensely angered. But with the spec-
tacle of devastation in Belgium, just
across the border, Hollanders are
loath to decide to make the great sac-
rifice until it becomes vital.
President Wilson has received a
most unsatisfactory reply from Ger-
many in answer to the American note
sent after the sinking of the Lusitania.
The note expresses Germany's reg-
ret for injuries sustained by Ameri-
cans as a result of submarine and ae-
roplane attacks and offers compensa-
tion in cases in which Germany is
found to be in the wrong. As indicated
previously in these dispatches, the
note defers a direct answer to the qu-
estions raised by President Wilson,
pending a further exchange of views.
Germany desires to establish whether
the Lusitania was a defenceless mer-
chant ship or was being used for the
transportation of warm unitions and
soldiers, on which unsuspecting pass-
engers were permitted to take pass-
age to safeguard the war materials.
A million and half dollars will be
spent in deveoping the Mingo coal
fields at Huntingdon, W. Va., during
the next few months. Operations are
planned on gigantic proportions.
Operators from all over the country
are making investments there.Twen-
ty new mines will be developed within
a radius of 12 miles from Williamson,
and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
has practically completed arrange-
ments for a new feeder into the terri-
tory. The Orinoco Mining Co. will
erect a $25,000 tipple, the Red Jack-
et Coal and Coke company has begun
work on a $300,000 operation and an-
other company will begin at once the
openings of mines there at a cost ap-
proximately of $300,000. The United

SOMERSET'S NEW BALTIMORE
& OHIO STATION.
Carrying out its intention to pro-
vide adequate passenger terminal fa-
cilities at Somerset, the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad has completed plans
for erecting a passenger station
which while affordng ample accom-
modations for travelers, will add to
the attractiveness of that borough.
The new station, upon which work
will be started at once by the rail-
road’s forces, will be thoroughly mod-
ern in design and of brick construc-
tion, with tapestry effect and a tile
roof. The building will be 756 feet long
by 30 feet wide.
The interior plan of the station
calls for a general waiting room, from
which room passengers can purchase
tickets, check baggage and reach the
women’s retiring room and the men’s
smokng room. Ample toilet facilities
for both men and women will be pro-
vided. Spacious seats will be in the
waiting room and bubbling foun-
tain will enhance the general attrac-
tiveness, The station will be heated
by low pressure steam.
The station platform will be of vit-
rified brick with concrete curb, ex-
tending from Patriot street to South
sreeet.Between these streets and the
station, an attractive parking effect
will be created by grass plots and
flower beds, while in the rear of the
station will be a driveway.
The new station was designed by
M. A. Long, architect of the Baltimore
& Ohio, who has prepared the plans
of numerous attractive stations e-
rected in recent years by the compa-
ny. The present station wich will be
replaced by the new station will be
moved across the tracks and fitted up
as a freight station having separate
team and house tracks.
STORK SAVES DAD FROM JAIL

Chicago.—It was a mite of a girl baby

CAPTAIN HOBSON A FINE
: TYPE OF AMERICAN.
From an editorial in The New York
| Mail:
| “Captain Hobson, aside from being
| a hero, is a man, a fine type of the A-
merican of today.
“He is a young Southerner who will
| grow in Congress until some day, un-
less I miss my guess, you will see
[him still greater. He is a most con-
| vincing speaker, an orator, a student
l'of conditions, a man of ideas. He is
"tall, well built, with sharp, clean-cut
features and a calm, steady eye that
tells the story of the Merrimac the
minute you see him.
“Those who look upon Captain
Hobson as a mere hero to be wor-
shipped will be made wiser. They
‘will find in him one who has forgot-
ten that he sank the Merrimac.
“He is a man who couldn’t be con-
tent to live an idler’s life in the army
or navy—a man that has a purpose
in life higher than gold braid and e-
paulets.
“Captain Hobson appears on the
Meyersdale Chautauqua program the
evening of the second day following
a concert given by “Ye Olde New
England Choir.”
