THE ST. LOUIS
ENDANGERED
MYSTERIOUS FIRE DESTROYED
VALUABLE PATTERNS ANDs
MENACED NEW CRUISER.
(By Publishers Press.)

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 27.-Fire of
mysterious origin that started in the
brass foundry of Neafie & Levy's ship
yard last night, destroyed valuable
patterns, menaced the cruiser ST.
Louis, in course of construction, and
caused loss of $4,000. 1t cannot
be learned as yet. whether the fire
was of incendiary origin. There are
suspicious circumstances, and the city
officials have begun rigid investiga-
ton. The government, it is said, will
carry on an independent investisa-
ton.
The brass foundry is only one hum
dred yards away from the St Louis.
Near it, and between it and the cruis-
structures that made atrain, like that
of powder, to the big vessel.
The two fire tugs played streams
constantly on the wooden supports
of the st. Louis and the building be-
tween it and the flames. The fire
spread through the brass shops and
into the pattern shop with terrific
speed. Most of the patterns and
plans of the ST. Louis were saved,
but those of torpedo boats and tor
pedo boat destroyers we're consumed.
Marines from League Island We're
sent to the ship yards to act as
guards. 1t was only by the very
hardest work that the St Louis was
saved.

PARTY SHOWN ~ IN ITS
TRUE LIGHT

r Il + Z Z
Any one listening 10 the speeches
of State Senator John J. Cornwe1l, the
Democratic nominee for governor,
would think he had been an advocate
of the bills Of the Tax Commission.
Mr.. Cornwell claims that he was an
original tax reformar. FIe asserted
this in his speeches at Clarksl1urg and
at Wayne, and doubtless elsewhere.
He bases his record as an original
tax reformer on two facts. First, that
he voted for bill in 1899 to tax ee
press companies The bill was I'M
constitutional and was vetoed by the
governor. The bill was copied from a
law passed in Kentucky ten years ago.
which was declared unconstitutional
by the Supreme Courts of the United
States. The same law was passed in
Indiana and also declared unconsti-
tutional by the same high court.
Second, that he introduced a reso-
luton in the Senate in 1889 request,
ing some committee to inquire wbcth-
er any State taxes could be taken off.
He was so in earnestabout It that he
says he never heard Of the resolution
after that.
So, Mr. Cornwel1's record as tax
reformer resulted tn-nothing.
In 1901 the Republican Legislature,
against the solid opposition of tie
Democrats, including Senator Corn
well, passed the Dewson Corporation
Law This law greatly increased the
license tax on the charters of corpo-
rations. The most the Democrats ever
collected in any one year from this
source was less than $50, zoe. Under
yearly from the same source. SEN
ator Cornwe1l opposed this law.
The same session Of he Legislature
created the West Virginia State Tax
Commission. Everybody nearly adj.
5mitted the necessity of the amend
ment and revision 81 our taxation
laws There were only six votes in
Anhe entire Legislature against the ere
>atsp Of the Tax Commission One OF
six votes was that of John j.
Yell. Evidently he wanted no
enrichment Of these antiquated and
inequitable laws.
In the Legislature Of 1908 one day
Mr.. Cornwell voted III favor of con
sidering the bills of the Tax Commis-
sion. The very next day he voted
against consideration and Soted to Kill
the whole matter.

RACE QUESTION IS UP.
Trouble in Schools at CoffeyviIle
Reaches Supreme Court.

There is trouble in Coffeyville over the
race question in the public schools. The
board of education has set apart separate
schools for the colored children and some
of the colored people. object. 1t is ad-
mitted that in cities of the first class the
school board may provide separate
schools for colored pupils, but the same
provision does not now apply to any other
cities Coffeyville is city of the second
class.
James H. Guy. one of Topeka's negro
attorneys, has filed in the supreme court
an application for a writ of mandamus to
compel the board of education to admit
colored children into the white schools.
The application is made for Bud Cart
wright, who says he is of African descent
and that for this reason his daughter.
Eva, sixteen years old. is not permitted
to attend a certain school in Coneyviile.
An alternative writ was granted, re-
turnable November 4, at which time the
question will be argued.
This question will probably come up in in
the next legislature. In a number OF
towns a move has been made for sepa..
rate schools for the two races. Some OF
the colored people are fighting such a
proposition. Others are in favor of it,
provided colored teachers are employed TO
teach the colored children.
