1. -(AP)--A volley of bullets, coming from an ambush along the right-of-way, early this morning caused the death of A. J. McGee, fireman on a Baltimore and Ohio freight train hauling non-union coal from Benwood, W. Va.

The train consisted of three sections, about 30 minutes apart. McGee was fireman on the first section. Several shot were fired into the caboose as it went past the ambush. The train stopped at the switch in Lamperty to notify authorities of the shooting. As the 'second section drew up alongside the ambush the gunmen again opened fire.

Approximately 25 rifle shots were fired into the two trains, from a 30-30 army rifle. McGee was killed just as he opened the door of the firebox, one of the bullets entering his head. The trains, made up at Benwood, W. were hauling coal and freight to Holloway, where they will be made up into one train hauling coal to the lake. When authorities arrived they found three empty shells in a mine car at the Meister Coal Mine.

A guard was immediately placed over the car and a call sent to New Martinsville W. for bloodhounds. The mine car was about 60 car lengths from the place where McGree was fired on. Two men were seen on the railway tracks and pursued by deputy sheriffs. One of the men, Mike Cordeny, 22, Powhatan, was shot thru the leg.

He was accompanied by his brother, George, but trainmen said the two were riding on the first section of the train and did not believe them connected with the shooting. QUARANTINE IN EFFECT, NO NEW CASES REPORTED I HERE County Ready To Co-operate With City In Infantile Paralysis Situation Fairfield County is ready to cooperate with Lancaster and, if necessary, to extend the quarantine to the county boundaries should the infantile paralysis situation make' it advisable, City Health Commissioner was informed today by County Health Commissioner Riechelderfer of Amanda. Inasmuch as no cases have been reported in the county exclusive of Lancaster, and only one positive case exists in the city, such action is not thot to be necessary under the present circumstances. Continued improvement was ed today in the conditions of Wm. Houck, the first, and, so far, only certain local victim of the diseas, and Dwight Johnson, who has been quarantined under suspicion.

Regulations of the quarantine which went into effect yesterday morning are being rigidly enforced and a number of public gatherings have been cancelled. The matinee performance of "Uncle Tom's Cab-' in" at the City Auditorium was called off yesterday when the promoters were informed of the ruling. The evening performance was staged, however, and the local moving picture theatres are showing daily. The proprietors are cooperating with the city authorities in enforcing the restrictions of the quarantine. Supt.

J. J. Phillips, who returned today from Clearmont Co. where he has been engaged institute work, said that teachers of the city schools are being notified they need not report until Saturday, Sept. 17th, when principals, supervisors and instructors will hold a special meeting in the high school at 2 p.

m. Phillips also said that the postponement of school opening would probably mean A responding lengthening of the school year next spring. The quarantine was extended to the city library last night when the trustees held a special meeting and passed a resolution to give out no books, nor receive in return any now out, until the quarantine is lifted Sept. 19th.

Commissioner Williams issugl a statement today Noted British Scientist Says Darwinian Theory Is Right LEEDS, England, Sept. 1-(AP) The much-discussed theory that has descended from an apelike being as advanced by Darwin has a champion in Sir Arthur Keith, noted British scientist. He stated his conclusion that Darwin was right before a distinguished gathering of scientists, inventors and scholars, in inaugurating the ninety-Sixth annual session of the British Association for advancement of science last night. Not only was he giving his own views, he remarked, but those of a jury 'empanelled from men who have devoted a lifetime 10 weighing the evidence." After telling of the process whereby scientists had traced the transformation of man from studie of Fossil remains and otherwise he declared that all the evidence available supports the conclusion that man has arisen, as Lamarck and Darwin suspected, from an anthropoid ape not higher in the Zoological scale than a Chimpanzee and that the date at which human and anthropoid lines of descent began to diverge lies near the beginning of the Miocene period.

A. And 4-H Clubs Spells ProgressMuch Good Comes of Camp Ro Meet Now that the last tent has been taken down at Camp Ro. the happy shouts have died away on the hillsides, the small game and the birds have settled down to a normal existence, and the water has been drained from the pool, it seems fitting to say a few words about the last week of activity in that beautiful valley. Over forty boys and girls from the various "Farm Clubs" spent the busiest time of the year there under skilled and interested ership. From 6:30 in the morning, when the rising whistle blew until 9:30, when they sought the warmth of many blankets, there was something doing every minute.

Instruction periods were held in handicraft, nature study, surveying, entomology, bird study school appreciation, and swimming, entomology, bird study school appreciation and swimming. Definite time was given for ball games, tennis, volley ball, hikes, etc. The day always closed with a big camp fire celebration and devotional period. The finest spirit prevailed thru out the period, with no sickness or serious injuries. The leaders who made this splendid record possible were: Mr Mr.

H. F. Thayer, director Miss McFarland of Amanda, instructor of handicraft, Mr. Lavender of Pleasantville. athletic director, Miss Miller of Pleasantville tional leader.

Mr. C. A. Metcalf of the Y. M.

C. A. Instructor in swimming and leader of singing and camp fire activities, Miss Betty Denton county nurse and as sistant camp fire director and Mr. R. F.

Thayer, mess officer and in structor in farm engineering. One of the happy features of camp is the co-operative relationship between the county Y. M. C. A.

and the 4-H Clubs. Their work in many ways parallels but in no sense conflicts. A year round relationship is being worked out -tween the leaders in the two or-' Chicago Movies Remain Closed, Operators Strike CHICAGO, Sept. silver screens remained behind drawn curtains today as the city moved into the fourth day of a movie-less week. The lockout of union movie operators, affecting all the 25,000 employes of the Chicago Exhibitors' Association, was no nearer a settlement, both sides agreed.

The exhibitors issued this statement: "We have enough money and resources in our treasury to carry on the fight indefinitely until the unions are ready to deal with the exhibitors in a business-like manner. We will not permit labor leaders to tell us how to serve the Chicago public or what to do with our tremendous investments in Chicago." Thomas Maloy, business agent for the operators, said: "Our men are not worrying over not working. They will draw the pay lost during the lockout or won't go back to their jobs until they are paid." Both sides yesterday rejected an offer from a representative of the United States Department of Labor to arbitrate. A new development was the action early today of stage hands employed at the movie housed who voted to walk out until their own wage demands are met. To all practical purposes the stage hands' strike at this time was just a gesture, inasmuch as they automatically were deprived of their places when the theatres closed.
