Two brothers named See. alleged draft evaders, were taken from Moorefleld to Martinsburg. W. Va.. last night for safekeeping. following arrest for shooting Deputy Sheriff Thomas B. Cunningham, who with Deputy Sheriffs Matthias and Wise an<j several special deputies, arrested them in the Matthias section early today. Th* shooting was done by Ben See, it is alleged, and because of threats of lynching it was thought best to remove them to jail at Martinsburg. Cunningham is said to be in a critical condition from a wound in the neck. The men had been able to dodge the draft since the beginning of the war. Their hiding places have been almost Impenetrable. The officers were after four evaders altogether.* Two other brothers named Ventxel had eviSently been tipped off as they skipped out when the officers approached the See home. Following the shooting of Deputy Sheriff Cunningham the father of the boys appeared with a double barreled shotgun and was about to open Are when an officer kicked him in the stomach which caused him to drop the gun. See was then forced at the point of a revolver to call on his boys to surrender.

Congress will be confronted by a real "All-District** proposition when it takes up* the Zihlman bill providing; for self-government snd Congressional representation for the District. Alvin L. ^ewmyer, author of the bill. Which was introduced in the House last week by Representative Frederick N. Zihlman, of Maryland, is s local lawyer. bom and educated in ths District. Newmyer has been an enthusiastic supporter o.f efforts to obtain District suffrage, and it is a unique fact that he. a native of the District. was called on to draft the bill for local suffrage. In explaining the features of the bill, providing for elimination ot the constitutional amendment requisite and for election of local government officials, Newmyer says: Asci4meat Not Practical. "While a constitutional amendment may theoretically he preferred, it is not practical at this time. We have only to consider the great outlay and years devoted by an organised national campaign to obtain woman suffrage by constitutional amendment in order to realise the almost insurmountable obstacles confronting us on that question. Moreover, wojpan suffrage was a national question affecting women In every State of the Union, and our question in its final analysis Is a local issue that cannot possibly obtain the same organised support In the various State*. "The bill Is a practical plan for local self-government for the residents of the Dlstrist who are now denied a voice in the management and control of their local afTairs. The people who live here should have the right to select and elect their delegates to Congress, District Commissioners. Public Utilities Commission and School board. These are vital matters of community Interest. "I have always marveled that so gross an injustice as this Should be perpetrated and that the fundamental American right of self-government proclaimed by the very presence of the Capitol itself, | should be denied those American ' citizens within the very shadow of its dome." Native mt District. Newmyer was educated In the District public schools and later was graduated from George Washington University. He is a member of the Masonic and Elk fraternities, the City Club and Board I of Trade. has been engaged In i law practice here for fourteen years. Newmyer and Robert I. Miller, president of Harding and Coolidge League No. 1, were recently addea to the advisory council of the Nai tional Press Committee. Other new members to the council, a? announced yesterday, Include Luther W. i Steward, president of the National j Federation of Federal Employes; j W. W.

A new view of what caused the fractures that form the Great Basin and the plateaus of the Rocky Mou?tains was presented by Prof. Bailey Willis of Iceland Stanford University at the ineeting of the Geological Society of Washington at the Cosmos Club last night. Methods of locating minerals in the Cpast region will be changed by this new theory of the formation of the fractures, geologists predict, and Prof. Willis gave illustrations of how lost ore veins had been located by using the new Information. It Is estimated that large sums of money now spent in prospecting will be saved. Hitherto all studies have tended to show that Pacific Coast fractures were due to the doming of the earth's crust, then cracking of the crust. This caused the great blocks of crust to rise or fall when the Internal pressure that caused the doming was released. This caused what are known as normal faulta The studies of Prof. Willis, who was formerly on the staff of the Geological Survey here in Washington, have shown that these are thrust faults. "Great pressure from the Pacific Ocean shoved great blocks of the crust eastward under the land area, causing the fractures," explained Prof. Willis. This sliding of one mass of strata over another is very similar to the way the Appalachian region here'in the East was formed, he explained. The main difference, Jie said, is that in the West the blocks were thrust under the land, while In th? East the ocean pressure pushed the crust blocks over the continental srea. REJECT COAL BIDS FOR 2JOOOJOOO TONS The United States Shipping Board yesterday announced it had rejected bids on bunker coal submitted December 10 and would call again for bids on 2,000.000 tons necessary for bunkering the government's mer! chant marine on January 14. Th? government believes it will get th advantage of another sharp break in coal prices in the period intervening between the last call for bids and the date fixed three weeks lerce. In connection with the board i decision the fact came to light thai bids had been sulmitted early this month by fifty-two dealers offering the government several times the amount of coal required at fS.60 to $9.SO per ton. Only four months ago, Admiral Benson, chairman of the board disclosed in his address before the Municipal Club of Brooklyn last nighty similar bids were asked and the "price quoted was at $18.50 per ton. This unprecedented drop of $10 per ton within a fourmonth period together with the "daylight" bein? thrown on the coal situation by Senatorial investigation here is given as the cause for can cellation of the bids received two weeks ago by the boardI 0ur G I Trouse Enormous crowds of econom odd trousers which we put 01 |U Baltimore firm of Straus Mj N 'i It's a value you'll not find an |H|| your choice.
