citizenship, has been leader in the
better class of sports and in short, it
is reaching out in various directions
making itself felt in everything ii

of such an association. The ladies'
auxiliary adds greatly to the organi-
cation and the combined Efforts of
the young men and women can bring
to pass many things for the better
ment of the community Much of the
success of the whole work this year
is due to the efficient efforts and the

Theodore Roosevelt, President of the

for a retraction of the Presidents
criticisms of his conduct. The allie

at 100000 The law is now being
carefully Investigated by General 5Ty-
ner's attorneys, and unless there is
word from the White House soon the
case will be final.
1t is pointed out by General Tyner
and his friends that he was acquit-
ted upon May 25; that he waited un-
til June II for some word to come
from the Executive mansion recalling
the accusations made by the Presi-
dent in his memorandum upon the
BriStow report and that none came.
Finally, the General wrote a letter to
President Roosevelt, and after wait
ing sufficient time for it to reach
him, gave a copy to the papers. A
week has passed now without re-
ply.
Just what the President has de-
termined to do in the matter is not
known. He has held several confer
ences with the Attorney General and
with officials of the Postomce Depart
ment in the past week, but the re-
suits of these deliberations have not
been made public.

Lewis Nixon Recommends Partitions
to Restrict Flames.

Lewis Nixon, the well known naval
constructor. has suggested means by
which vessels can be protected against
the rapid spread of fames.s He rec
onnmends metal bu1kheads or parti-
stions to restrict flames. and says:
Such buIkheads, of light, dura BILE
plating silled in with asbestos boards,
should be fitted, so That they could be
swung or dropped across certain parts
of the structure in case Of fire. They
could be SO arranged that they need
not obstruct passage except when
necessary. All the machinery space
should be cased in by metal to the
top deck. OF course this is done in
all new vessels except those of the
himsiest construction.
"Fireproof wood will eventually be
used or some form of artificial board
that is non-infam mable and decks
should be supported by metal franz
ing. Staff and pressed steel should be
used for ornamentation.
There are several tireproof paints
and their use should be obligatory,
and all hanginss should be treated by
some hreproof wash"

] SENATOR coRNwELL.

Sc g5Is Z
In Thursdays issue we stated that
we had been informed that the Dem
ocrats were going to run for Congress
In the Second district against Aston
Dayton, State Senator John Corn
well, of Hampshire county. In adj
@dition to this statement we briefly
commented on the fact that Mr..
sCornwell, like Mr.. Dayton, is opposed
to the Tax Commission bills. We
deeply regret now that we made any
reference to the Hampshire gentle
man, his rumored candidacy for Con-
Sgresssorto his position on the leading
question Of the day in West Virginia
the question of tax reform. Mr.
gCornwell (not CromwelD happened to
he IN our city that day, and seeing
what the West Virginian had said,
and feeling that it had not done him
Justice in regard to his tax views, he
wrote them out at some length and
{ handed them to a local paper for pub
lication. And then and there he
made one of the greatest mistakes of
4 his life, as the aforesaid local paper,
by managing and mutatinS what he
said made him appear not only RI
5}dicuIons but an ignoramus il; the
eyes of the reading public, and man
wholly unfit to occupy seat either
Congress or the State Senate.
ss We regret most sincerely that
what we said provoked reply from
the gentleman, resulting as it did SO
disastrously. In the hope of reliev-
4 ing him Of some of the embarrass-
ment and humiliation from which we
feel he must be suffering, we will say
that Mr. Cornwell is man of fairly
good parts and did not deserve the
trea tmeEt he received as above indi-
Gated. He is, of course, misguided
man, politically, being mossback
Democrat, but he. can't help that, as
Z he was brought up where naughI else
Z but mossbackism aboundS. We may
add that he stands we'll as a State
Senator-represents his district with
credit. The bitter experience he had
in Fairmont may be of great benefit
; to him, however, as it will doubtless
teach him, if he should ever again
feel the necessity of airing his views
( on any subject, to seek a newspaper
that is printed in modern language
through which to do SO.

CHICAGO, Ill, June 1S-The
American Derby. the great racing
event, will be run this afternoon at
the track of the Washington Park
Club. One of the finest fields of
thoroughbreds ever brought together
will face Starter Hoffman. 1t will be
a grand struggle for the rich prize
held out for the victor. In the entry
list are seven winners of other derby
events.
1t is estimated that horse flesh
valued at S15O,O00 will run in the
race. The purse means $4,000 to
the winner. The feature that will
stand for this as the distinguishing
mark of the 1904 Derby, how
ever, will be the complete absence of
betting. For the first time in the
history. of the race the bookmakers
VIII be barred from the grounds. The
management has announced that the
bookmakers are not wanted even as
spectators.
To enforce Mayor HarriSon's edict
against gambling at the track, AS
sistant Chief Schuettler will be pres
ent with hundreds of policemen. The
betting ring has been, cleared of all
bookmaking booths. No telegraph or
telephone service will be permitted
as an aid to gamblers outside the
grounds. Provision has been made
for the accommodation of $4,000 spec
tators, although society is not pay
ing so much attention to the Derby
as in other years.
Among the guests to be entertain-
ed at the-Club House will be many
delegates to the Republican National
