KILLER, ITS FIELD SEC - RETARY, TELLS OF MORAL VIC TORIES WON AND WAITING. BUREAU'S OBJECT IS TO SECURE PASSAGE OF REFORM LEGISLA TION AT WASHINGTON. Compliments Anti-Saloon League, and With It is Wo rink for an Inter state Liquor Law. Sunday t". fi [7 ' * K~' ?huri'li Bier. II. it. Miller, fiuhl nccrt ? 1 \ of the Reform Bureau at Washington, I). C., associated with Rev. Dr. \V. F. Craft*, gave an addrc?s on "Moral Vic tories, Won and Waiting." He Hpokr of the victories already won by the Bureau I and of other* yet to be won. He said that the primary object of the Reform Burrau is to secure the passage by eongres* of imp4irtant and much needed reform legislation along the line of temperance, better Sabbath observ ance, stricter divorce laws, anti-gambling and auti-poligamy measures, etc. Eight bills drawn up by the Bureau have been passed by congress, and eight other bill* drawn by the Bureau have passed one bouse of congress. He described eight important moral measures passed by congress and which were drawn up by the Reform Bureau and introduced in the house and senate at the Bureau's request, and by it fol lowed rip to final success. These bills were as follows: To stop liquor selling in N'e* Hebrides islands by Americans. To close by contrast the gates of the St. Louis fair on Sundays. To suppress liquor selling in all gov anunent immigrant stations. To limit divorces to one cause only in District of Colombia. To require twelve months* residence in Its territories before one can get a di vorce. To increase the protection of girls ni ter SI years in the District of C"'unbi*. Johnson anti-canteen law. Senate resolution favoring treaty to ?top liquor selling among all uncivilized races of the world. The Bureau will .work in the next con gress for several measures, especially for a bill to stop wholesale liquor dealers i.i one state shipping inliquor by ex press in the original packages into no* license and prohibition territory in an other state. Mr. Miller'* trip through West Virginia nt this time is especially in the interest of this inter-state liquor bill to atop liq uor dealers from other states shipping liquors by express or freight, in the orig inal packages, into no-license and prohi bition territory wliere they hare driven the saloons out. Mr. Miller paid a high compliment to the Anti-Saloon League of this state, saying that its superintendent. Mr. Al vord. had secured the passage in the last legislature of one of the best and most stringent express liquor laws of any state in the Union. He said the Anti S.iloon l.cnjr.ie of this state was doing spl.ndiil work. lrat if it hail done noth ; el.se t.ii- ji.ist year limn secure the, p.i-*.ige of that stringent express law. j that alone should entitle it to generoun financial support by the temperance peo ple of West Virginia. Since the passage of this law. liquor men in this state cannot ship liquor into any no-liccnsc town or county in the state for sale. But liquor men in other states ran ship liquor by express or freight in the original packages in large quantities into prohibition towns and counties of this state, and It cannot be touched until after it is delivered, and this helps to break, down prohibition in many places. The bill which the Reform Bureau is pushing in co-operation with the National Anti-Saloon League will remedy this evil. This bill will not prevent any local cit izen ordering liquor for bis own use from another state by express, but it will pre vent express agents turning their of fice into a rum shop and thus breaking down the will of the people where they have driven the saloons out. The Reform Bureau is trying to arouse a great popular interest in this impor tant measure before congress meets this winter. The friends of this measure ev erywhere should appeal to their senators and congressmen ?t once, while they are at home among their constituents, in behalf of this bill. Senator & B. Elkins. of West Virginia, is chairman at the O. S. senate committee en interstate commerce, before whom this important bill must come. Latter* in favor of this bill should be addressed to : him at bis home at Elkins, W. Va., before congresa meats this winter. Mr. Miller speaks at Satton tonight and at Weaton tomorrow night. FIGHT ON STREET GAR DISORDERLY PASSENGERS EJECT t ED BY THE CONDUCTOR AJTER A LIVELY SCRAP. Conductor Struck With Stone Thrown by Ejected Passenger.?Some Blood Drawn in Affray. Carson Wine and Charles Wvatt be came disorderly on one of the summer street cars on the way to the park about 10 o'clock Saturday night. Conductor Hnrtman told tliem at the switch in the Eut End thmt they would have to gat oS 3 they did not behave themselves. They promised to be good and the ear prooeeded with them on it, bat u the ear arrived at a point in front of the ghn factory building in the Clarksburg In dustrial company's addition to the city, they again became disorderly, using vile language and cursing. A number of la dies were- on the car, and the conductor, for their protection, stopped the car and ordered the fellows off. The refused, and he put Wyatt ou first and then gave his attention to Wine. John Hicken botham having been deputised to assist him. Quite a scuffle ensued at the rear end of the car, but Wine was finally ejected. In the scuffle the conductor's cap fell off on the opposite side of the car and he stepped off to get it. Motor man Flowers, believing the fellows hail been ejected and the conductor was on the ear, started ahead, but Hickenbotbam aooo ? tapped: him. In the meantime the ejected ptwengm and the conductor had a tussle, brought on by Wine hitting the conductor on the left arm with a ?tone as he picked up his cap. Wme received a small cut on the side of the head, either inflieted by the conductor or received by striknig his head on the edge of a seat during the scuffle on the car. The injury was not serious, however. The conduct of the conductor in the matter was in conformity to the rules of the company and was commendable, as rowdyism, disorderly conduct and the use of had language on the street cars should not be permitted under any circum stances. ?Tames B.
