SECRETARY MOODY HURT
JUMPED FROM A CARRIAGE DRAWN
BY RUNAWAY HORSES.
Landed ON His Face OF the Pavement
of the Naval Academy Grounds and
Was Rendered Unconscious.

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 12-Secretary of the
Navy William III. Moody was painfully in
jured in the Naval Academy grounds to-
by Senator Hale, the secretary arrived here
at o'clock to inspect the new buildings
in the Naval Academy grounds. The men
were driven from the railroad station in
Superintendent Brownsons private car
riage. The cadets were drawn up in line
of salute just inside the academy grounds,
and the carriage bearing the secre-
tary, Senator Hale and their escort, Lieu
tenant Poyer, passed in review, salute of
seventeen guns belched forth from the
Santee wharf. The restive horses attached
to the carriage swerved suddenly and broke
from the driver. They dashed down Upshur
row and passed the line of cadets. The
pole of the carriage broke as the spirited
horses dashed down the roadway. AS the
horses dashed down the hill toward College
creek the driver turned their heads into a
vacant lot between two houses. Secretary
Moody, who had opened the door of the car
riage as the horses dashed over the frozen
ground, suddenly leaped to the pavement
as the carriage made the turn into the in
closure. He landed on his face on the
pavement and was rendered unconscious by
the shock.
The battalion of midshipmen had broken
ranks without orders as the carriage dashed
ried to the residence of Superintendent
Brownson, where he recovered conscious
ness. Slight cuts and bruises on his fore
head, nose and face are thought to be the
extent Of the secretary's injuries. Neither
Senator Hale nor Lieutenant Poyer was
injured. the horses brought up
against wall soon after making the turn
into the open lot. Secretary Moody and
Senator Hale spent the night here as the
guests of Superintendent Brownson.

A delegation of former insurgents visited
Governor Taft to-day and urged him to re-
main here and not accept the nomination OF
associate judge of the United States Su-
Filipino people petitioned President Roose-
welt To allow Governor Taft to stay here.
The delegation sent a cable message to
Washington urging his retention as Gov
ernor of the Philippines. Expressions fa-
voring Judge Taft remaining i'm the islands
as Governor are coming from all parts of

SOLD THEIR PASSES.
Minnesota Legislators Accused of Dis
posing Of Railway Fayors.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Jan. Estate sena-
tors and representatives in the States ira
versed by the Northern Pacific Railroad
were accused to-day by President c. s.
Mellen of selling annual passes to ticket
brokers and lending them to friends. The
charge is made in a statement explaining
why annual passes have been withdrawn
and passes limited to the session of the
state Legislature substituted
sometimes in previous years." saws Mr..
Mellen In the statement, annual masses
have been lent without consideration or
for a cash equivalent; members have used
such passes TO the capital the first week.
and left them with ticket brokers for sale
for short trips, receiving them back i'm time
for their return trips home at the end of
the week. At the end of the session the
passes have been sold outright by those
who had no further use for them. and we
have taken them up i'm the hands of i'm
proper persons on the trains Sometimes
travelling men and wholesale merchants
who have been members have used their
passes to the serious damage of their com
petitors in trade who have therefore ac-
cused us of discrimination. For these
reasons We have limited the passes to the
length of the session, thus hoping to AFT
least shorten the abuse of the privilege
granted. To such as make proper use of
their passes We will extend them ID the end
of the year."

turned to the United States Senate with
out breath of opposition In all the
great questions that have been raised since
he has represented Indiana in the hall OF
the Senate he has taken conspicuous part
and the settlement of them wisely and
squarely has been due largely 10 his in
dividual capacity for statesmanship OF

broadest sense a good man.
Il leave this sentiment because IL Is the

grandeur until the highest peaks OF love

Senator Will r. Wood began his speech
seconding the nomination with the remark
that this was the first time the Repub-
licans OF Indiana have ever been absolutely
unanimous in nominating a candidate for
United States senator. He alluded TO Sen
ator Fairbanks as man of simple great
Nation. but over seas. His high moral
worth is something with which the Nation
is well acquainted and the eyes of the Ma

dred citizens of Tuscola confiscated ten car
loads of coal in the Illinois Central Rail-

yards. and when the people saw the loaded
cars side-trscked here it was determined to
relieve the situation. Mayor Roberts threw
no obstacle in the way, and the Board Of
Health passed resolution stating that coal
was necessary for the preservation of the
health of the people. Business men, bank
ers and prominent citizens joined in the
raid but the coal seized was paid for. a

IRVINGTON SCHOOL BURNS
THE BUILDING PRACTICALLY A TO-
TAI LOSS IN A SHORT TINE.
Fire Burned Fiercely and Water Sup
ply Inadequate-The Structure
Cost $25,OOO.

The only public school in Irvington was
burned to the ground at o'clock this morn
ing. Frank Farhear, the janitor. who sleeps
in the basement of the building, was awak-
to discover that the overheated furnace
had ignited the surrounding walls and start
ed a. fire of alarming proportions. Farhear
alarmed the neighborhood, and a call was
sent to the city for the fire apparatus. The
building was on Central avenue near Oak
street.
When the two hose wagons reached the
fire the building was enveloped in flames
and the fire inside threatened the roof and
walls with immediate collapse.
No water supply was available, and the
fire was permitted to destroy the building.
with only the efforts of citizens to check it's
progress.
TWELvE-ROOM BUILDING.
The Irvington school, No. 81. was a
twelve-room structure in which were taught
the grammar grades. 1t was erected in
1899, shortly after the burning of the old
Irvington high school building in Decem-
ber, 1898, the same site, at a cost of
SIS 900. 1t was built of stone and brick, was
of modern architecture and thoroughly
equipped for the lower grades. The furni-
ture and equipment was entirely destroyed
with the building, adding to the building
loss of s25,OO0 the additional loss of $500.
Henry Schell was the principal of the
school. Inside the building were several
pictures turned over with the school prop
erty when Irvington was annexed to the
city. A school library and also a number
of volumes Of value were included in the
equipment and were also destroyed.
Irvington is without fire protection, and
no fire apparatus to check the spread of the
fire.
Next door to the building is the home of
the Board of Children's Guardians, where
damage was done, as. fortunately, the wind
was from the opposite direction.
John z. Cleland, business director of the
Indianapolis public schools, said when
awakened early this morning that a total
destruction of the property meant fire
loss Of more than $4,000, on which the city
| carries an insurance of about $4,000.
This latest fire will again, no doubt make
the question of fire protection for Irvington
