Governor Hatfield Immediately Issued
a call for an extra session to begin
11 o'clock today. Three Items
tore'listed In the call: Appropriations,
jtolnla debt and good roads bills,

Be passed the measure but It Is un rstood
the governor will veto It and
Btok new legislation.
W The amendments to the city charter
r of Fairmont which were passed by
the Houbc were dropped In the Senate
without the matter coming to a d?
olslve test. It would have been necessary
to get a four-fifth vote on the motion
to snspend the rules to make It
possible to bring the bill up for the
consideration of the upper house, and
as there was some opposition to the
matter It was not deemed worth while
to force the Issue. It is understood
a majority of the Senators were In
favor of the proposed changes In the
Fairmont government and had the bill
been Introduced a few days earlier
they would have been passed as the
opposition to them was weakening
rapidly and soon would have collapsed.
The House adjourned at exactly 1
o'clock this morning, but the 8enate
did not adjourn, recessing until the
special call had been carried to It
long after the time it reached the
House.
The lower body, however, had adjourned
before the special call was
Issued, and each Individual member
was notified of the special call.
At 12:60 o'clock, after the clocks
had been covered for an hour, because
the legislature, by code, must adjourn
at midnight, the conferees of the Senate

months there has existed a number of '
cases of poliomyelitis In the state of
West Virginia, more particularly In
the cities of Elklns, Grafton and Fairmont,

Whereas. In practically all such
cases an after treatment Is absolutely
essential to the end that the patient
may recover from the after effects of
the disease, and I
Whereas, In other states where this l
disease has been prevalent, the after ,
treatment h'as been successfully carried i
on under the direction and organfza- <
tlon of Dr. Robert W. Lovett, of Bos- 1
ton. and
Whereas, In order that such after '

poses of these resolutions. i

Fairmont facfls a nhnrtnim In nn
foodstuffs but sugar, and that not nec- I
essarlly serious or prolonged, is the 11
opinion of grocers and wholesalers in ft
the city. There is a shortage of sugar,
due to labor troubles at the plants of
the American and Franklin refineries,
but it is only a shortage, not a famfne. A
Sugar is now selling at from 10 to 11
cents a pound and local wholesalers
say that it should go but little higher
than that.
"I should say," said a local wholesaler
this morning, "that should prices
go much higher it will be only in instances
where a dealer had sugar when
others did not have, and took an undue
advantage and raised the price." 04
Supplies of sugar, canned goods and
I other staples, are hard to get because m,
of the great transportation tie up, but
| the local wholesalers believe they have
enough on hand to tide over until the co
warm weather permits the railroads w;
to get their cars in motion again. ru
I The dealers particularly cautioned
against persons buying large quantities
of staples fearing that a famine na
was imminent. "J
When three or four thousand fami- P1
lies start buying great quantities of El
sugar and flour and canned goods,
thinking that a shortage is upon them.
you can readily see what a draip It
makes upon stocks that are already aa
not necessarily low, but no larger-than TI
normal. This buying quickly cleans er
the merchants out and then the cry i*
starts that there is a famine." *><
