HOPEFUL FOR MILLER.


A Pittsburs Leader Talks of Local and
State Politics.
C. L. Magee returned yesterday from the
East. He did not attend the Quay-Alger
conference at Washington. 'I still believe
that George w. Miller will be appointed
|. Collector of Internal Revenue for this dis
trict, Mr.. Magee said. 'T gathered no
further information on the subject during
my trip East, however. People down East
are considerably worked up over the Guffey-
Harrity fight in the Democratic party in
the State. While am personally friendly
to Mr.. Guffey, hope, for the interest of
the Republican party, that Mr.. Harrity
will be named to succeed the late
w. L. Scott on the National
Democratic Committee. Personally, / am
not unfriendly to Mr.. Harrity, but we want
more Democrats in the National Committee
to manage campaigns like he managed the
one in this State. AS the boys say he was
dead easy.
knocked Mr.. Harrity clear out of water.
His decision that Chairman Kerr has been
admitted to the committee and will repre-
sent the State until successor to Scott is
regularly chosen is in line with the decision
of the Republican National Chairman He
decided that our State Chairman should fill
the vacancy on the National Committee
caused by the resignation of Senator Quay,
until Mr.. Quay's successor is regularly
chosen"

CLEVELAND'S CLOAK.
Mr. Harrity Said to Be Playing Ugly
Tricks Under 1t.
COLONEL HILL TALKS PLAINLY.
lie Tells Why Chairman Kerr Should b
Reelected Next Week.
TROUBLE AMONG TIE REPUBLICANS

Colonel Hill, the Fayette county coke
operator and former owner of the Hill farm
at Dunbar where the 80 miners were i'm
prisoned and lost two years ago, was in
Pittsburg yesterday. Colonel Hill is a
Democrat. He has for years been active in
State politics, and he is generally chosen as
delegate to the State Convention from his
county.
81 will go to Harrisburg next week to see
the Guffey- Harrity contest concluded
and to see as far as lies in my
power that Chairman Kerr is re-
elected. 1t is unfortunate for our
party that Mr.. Harrity has taken all the
offices the party has to give. Chairman
Kerr has been faithful to his party.
He took the craftsmanship after Harrity
had refused it because there was too much
work and little pay in it. Mr., Kerr de-
voted his every energy to the position, and
he succeeded in electing Governor Pattison.
Then came what Harrity wanted. He was
made Secretary of State, which, with his
salary and fees of his office, is worth to him
$4,000 year. With all this he is not sat-
isfed, and hiding his distasteful practices
under a Cleyeland cloak, he is attempting
to defeat the man who made him possible
for reelection. We are all for Cleveland
in this State, and the anti-Cleveland cry
raised against Kerr is an attempt to use
popular name for mighty mean purposes.
Several other Democrats from Western
Pennsylvania counties were also in Pitts
burg yesterday. They are all greatly in
terested in the reelection of Chairman
Kerr. From them it was learned that with
probably two exceptions all the State Cen
tral Committeeman in Western Pennsyl-
vania are for Kerr for Chairman. Kerr's
friends in Pittsburg have received assur-
ances from many of the Eastern counties
that their State Committeeman. will also
support Kerr for reelection.

His Successor Expected to Be Appointed
Prompt y-UgIy Feeling Cropping Out
Ju IS Reeds resignation from the
United States District Bench took effect
yesterday, but no court will be held in the
district until March. 1t is not believed,
however, that the appointment of a sue
cessor will be long delayed. Judge Acheson,
of the Circuit Court, will conduct the busi-
ness of the District Court until the ap-
pointment is made. Judge Reed was ap-
pointed on February 90, 1891. His term
was the shortest of any Judge who ever sat
on the bench in the district.
The delay in making the appointment of
a successor to Collector Warmcastle in the
Internal Revenue Department has compli-
Gated the campaign for both places and has
excited no end OF bad feeling between the
Republicans of Western Pennsylvania. The
candidates for the vacant Judgeship are
ex-Judge Fetterman and Colonel Negley, of
Pittsburg; Boyd Crumrine, of Washington,
Pa; Joseph Burlington, Kittanning; Samuel
A. Davenport, Erie; John A Grier, Butler
and j. C. Walton, Wavnesburg. The friends
of Fetterman allege that Negley is a rela-
tive of Burlington and has entered the con-
test to create the impression at Washing
ton, that Allegheny county is divided on
the two candidates. This is denied by
Negley's friends who say their candidate is
in the field to win.
George w. Miller's friends allege that the
supporters of Fetuerman have been indus
triously at work to have the Internal Rev.
enue Collectorship go out of Allegheny
county so that the judgeship NAV come
here. In the two contests the Republicans
are considerably divided and ugly feeling
is said to be growing between them.
George w. Miller is in Washington
watching his interests there. His friends
are confident he will be successful notwith-
standing the opposition that has recently
been worked up against him.

Some Minor Matters Attended to by Ale
gheny Select Council.
Allegheny Select Council met in special
session last night to consider the appropria-
tion ordinance for the year 1928. 1t came
up in the shape of report from the Finance
Committee, presented by Chairman Vert
heimer There was only quorum present
The ordinance was read and then the body
went into a committee of the whole to con-
slider the ordinance. 1t was favorably rec
commended without changing any of the
items and ordered printed for use of Coun-
ellis.
Mr.. Einstein then raised the point that it
was illegal for the body to resolve itself into
a committee of the whole and consider itself
the appropriate committee to consider such
an important matter. The City Solicitor
was asked for his opinion, and Mr.. Elphln-
stone advised that it would be unwise to
pass upon the matter so hastily.
The action was then reconsidered and the
ordinance was referred to the Finance Com
mittee.
Mr.. Kennedy, of the First ward, offered
an ordinance for the construction of a sewer
on Rebecca street, Mr.. Kennedy, of the
Fourth ward, petition for the exoneratiou
OF Alex. Carson from the payment OF water
taxes, and an ordinance changing the grade
of Perrysville avenue from the head of
Federal street to the city line; Mr.. Einstein
a petition for the exoneration of the DELPHI
Club from the payment Of the rent for Car
negie Hail.
Mr.. Henricks called up the ordinance re-
lating to the division of the wards, passed
some time ago, in which Common Council
refused to concur. The former action Of the
Select branch was adhered to, and a COM
mittee of three, consisting of Messrs j. r.
Henricks, Arthur Kennedy and Jacob
Born, was appointed to confer with SIM
liar committee from Common Council on
the matter.

Lafr by John Il. ehoenbergcr.
at the meeting of the members of Trinity
Church Parish las. evening it was decided
to accept the Shoenberger bequest. The
meeting was called to order by Stephen C.
McCaGdless, who informed the members the
object Of the meeting and explained the
nature Ct the beauest. Several members
spoke in favor Of accepting the gift includ-
ing the rector, Rev. 4. NJ Arundel. Mr..
Botstord then moved that the bequest left
Trinity Parish by Mr.. Shoenberger be ac-
cepttd under the provisions of the will.
This was amended at the suggestion of Mr..
Blair that it be the sense of the meeting
that the gift be accepted and it be recon-
mended to the wardens and vestry that they
accept it. This was carried unanimously.
Rev. Mr.. Arundel stated that the congre-
cation were all heartily in favor of accept
ing the bequest and the only reason why so
few were present was that they were. all of
the same mind and had perfect confidence
in whatever action those present would
take. The vestry held its regular meeting
after the other adjourned, but nothing was
done in regard to the action of the previous
meeting.

All Danger of a FLOOD Is Past.

AS was stated in THE DISPATCH yester-
day, the rise in the river was checked at %
feet. Each increasing inch had added to
the anxiety of the watchers. At 5 o'clock
yesterday morning the first perceptible de-
crease was noticed. and was hailed with
delight by those watching for the first sign
of danger. By 5 o'clock in the afternoon
the water had receded three feet and was fall
ing slowly. By this morning it will have
receded far enough to allow navigation to be
resumed. The Brownsville and Morgantown
line will not start until orders are received
from Superintendent Graham, but thev are
expected to-day and that line will resume
on Monday. The Cincinnati and Parkers-
burg lines will also be in shape by Monday.

advanced was that some fire had
been left under the boiler and caught in
some loose paper lying about The cellar
was partly filled with paper stock, through

Others have been thrown PROSTATE by the
weight Of ice, and doubtless there will be

was discovered a moment later by gentle
man passing outside.
Went Up Like Tinder.
1t was 11:50 o'clock when the alarm was
turned in from Fifth avenue and Smithfield
street. Two minutes later the flames
had reached the top floor and
the dry, wooden interior was ablaze
throughout the whole structure. The
fremen found hard task when
they arrived. Owing to the steep grade Of
Fifth avenue it was difficult to get engines
and other apparatus into working shape
When this was finally done it was too late
to think of saving much of the Leader
building and the attention of the fremen
was turned to saving adjoining property.
Several times it was thought the Maeder
building on the upper side of the Leader
would catch, but each time the flames were
extinguished. On the top story of this
building w. f. Smith, the ianitor, lived.
He was not at home when the fire broke
out, but his wife and child were in bed.
The building was full of smoke. Awakened
by the confusion the mother picked up the
child and started down the rear stairs.
Before she had gone far she was overcome
by smoke and fell on the stairs. In the
meantime Officer Brennan and Fireman
Con Driseoll were climbing the stairs,
and when near the top they found the two.
They were carried down and soon recovered
IN the fresh air. Mrs. Smith was badly
bruised by falling on the stairs.
Valuable Files All Gone.
Theodore II. Nevin, one of the proprietors
of the Leader, said the greatest loss would be
the files, all of which were DESTROYED,
Other things can be replaced but
no money can restore the destroyed copies
of the paper. The loss on building is 500
600 and on stock $50, 600.
To-day the paper will be issued at the
Gazette Office. THE DISPATCH, immediate
ly after the fire, offered the use of its dupli-
cate plant in Power Hall, which was ac-
cepted, and will be ready for use tomorrow
or Monday. MI. Nevin saws the Leader will
begin at once the reconstruction of its
plant.
At o'clock this morning the fire was
well under control, and there was no dam
ger TO the other buildings. Ladderman
Weir, of Truck C, was badly injured by
nozzle getting loose inside the building and
striking him before he could get away
from it. During the fire Officer O'Connor
was passing Kaufmann's store at the corner
below, when he slipped on the icy pavement
and fell against the pronged railing outside
the store One of the iron prongs ran
through his hand, tearing it badly
Owing to the fire it was necessary to cut
of the current from several circuits of
electric light wires, and most of the lower
part OF the city was in darkness

THEIR REQUEST DENIED.
Railroads Refuse Positively to Reduce
Rates Oh Pig iron.


Rates Oh Pig Iron
The local freight agents returned yester-
day from tie meeting of the Central Traffic
Association in Chicago The request for a
reduction in pig iron rates between Pitts
burg, Wheeling, Youngstown and Cleveland
was denied. The iron committee
claimed the conditions had changed The
market has improved slightly, and there is
no necessity now to grant it. The main
reason for the refusal was that if rates were
lowered between the points named CORE
spending reduction would have to be made
throughout the territory, and the lines
couldn't stand it. This ends the discussion
for the present with the first chapter.
The Western lines are blockaded with
grain shipments. Cars are very scarce

from tie railroads." remarked an iron man
yesterday. Gas long as they can get plenty
of grain to haul, the local busidess must
suffer. And yet these grain men 90 not begin
