MARTIN FAMILY DID NOT GET OUT

More Than q Hundred Guests in the
House When the Flames Broke

Mafancook, Maine, Aug. 26.-Three
lives were lost and four persons were
injured by the burning of Hotel Mar
ancook here today. At noon, after it
was thought that all of the 100 or more
guests whose lives were endangered by
the fire, had been accounted for, it was
reported that one was still missing and
search of the ruins, which had revealed
three bodies, was renewed.

The fire, which is supposed to have
been caused by a defective chimney,
spread rapidly through the two and one
half stories of the wooden structure.
Clerk Boutwell, discovered the flames,
and, rushing through the corridors,
aroused all the guests. In doing this,
however, he was seriously burned, and
later, while attending to the guests in
the cold air of the morning contracted
a severe cold, which it is feared, will
develop into pneumonia. None of the
guests saved their personal effects and
many of them were unconscious by the
time they had reached the open air.

SENATOR HARMAN'S SUMMERsAULT.

In recent issue of the Clinch Valley
News there appeared an editorial under
the above heading which, to my mind,
seriously reflects on the editors power
of discrimination. Why Mr.. Editor,
the very fact that l had withdrawn
from politics" marked me as the man
above all others to rescue the public
free schools from partisan control. The
deplorable condition of the free schools
of the State today is attributable in
large measure to the fact that the
Democratic party has made them part
of its political machine.
Of the one hundred and seventeen
superintendents of schools in Virginia,
not one of them is a Republican, not
withstanding the "RESOLUTION"
passed by the state board of Education
saying that a mans politics would not
be considered in their appointments. 1t
must have been revelation to Profs.
Kent, Bowles and Tyler, when the
political members of the state board
made all appointments with an eye to
the political creed of the appointee,
after voting for that RESOLUTION" "
will further inform the Editor that
l voted for increase of the school
levy, and asked others to do
so. l was much worried over the fail
ure of Maiden Spring District to sup
port that measure. For this failure |
proceeded to lecture some of the promi-
nent Republicans of that district, who
gave as the reason, that the schools
had been dragged into politics and that
they were manipulated, managed and
controlled by the Democratic party;
that every dollar paid in school taxes
was so much contributed to the Dem
ocratic campaign fund. They said;
"Why just think of it! in Tazewell
county where two-thirds of the patrons
and pupils are Republicans, not single
trustee of that party is appointed. 1t
is taxation without representation.
Now it seems to me that an effort to
free the schools from political shackels
is such commendable work that
preacher may take vacation from his
pulpit work for sixty days to serve this
sacred cause, regardless Of his chances
for Success" would rather make
this fight and loose the Office than win
seat in the Senate. i would rather be
the forerunner in the dawning of the
New Era in Virginia, in which the
principles of fair dealing are to pre-
vail, than to win the highest Office in the
gift of the people, which would make
me part of the machine to perpetrate
the wrongs inflicted upon long-suffer-
ing people in the levying and collecting
Democratic campaign funds under the
guise of taxes for the public schools.
Mr.. Editor, l have many things to
say on this subject, but you cannot bear
them now.

MANEUVERS OF THE PLUNGER
Submarine Torpedo Boat Gives a Suc-
csssfuI Performance In Long island.
Sound.
THE AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK
Graham, Va.

Oyster Bay, August 26. President
Roosevelt with party of
friends and relatives today witnessed a
test of the submarine torpedo boat
Plunger from the deck of the naval
yacht Sylph.
Soon after the President and his party
boarded the Sylph, the Plunger, which
was moored to the naval tender Apache,
got under way. At the request of the
President the little vessel performed
some of her feats within the waters of
the Sylph to see torpedo fired.
DISCHARGED A TORPEDO.
After maneuvering a few minutes,
making in the meantime several por-
poise dives, the Plunger came to the
surface opposite the dock of the Sea-
wanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club and
discharged torpedo. The bow of the
vessel rose a few feet out of the water;
there was a gush of foam, several
fathoms ahead, and the torpedo skim
med along the surface of the bay, for
perhaps 200 yards. The projectile was
picked up by one of the Sylph's launch
es.
Before leaving the Sylph thePresident
said he had learned that the officers
and men on the submarine boat were
receiving for the services they now are
rendering only shore pay, although it
was manifest that at no time would
their services be more hazardous than
it is at present. The determination of
their pay is an administrative detail of
the Navy Department, and the Presi-
dent has directed that hereafter they
shall receive sea pay for their duties.
The sea pay will begin next Monday.
THROUGH MANY MANEUvERs.
For two hours after the President
left, the party OIL the Sylph watched
the maneuvers of the Plunger. The
little vessel dived in every conceivable
manner, remained motionless while en-
tirely submered, and maneuvered under
and about fotilla of all sorts of YES
sells from row boats to steam yachts.
A big school of porpoises played around
the boat throughout the time she re-
mained in the waters of the sound.

People sometimes dread to enter a

ings Department on sums either large

taIns Terrifying Proportions Living
on ROOts-ResOurc Exhausted.
Seville, Spain, Aug. 26. -Heartrend-
ing reports continue to reach the pro-
vincial authorities from the outlying
famine stricken districts. The latest
reports received are from Osun and AL
magia, the respective mayors of which
notify the authorities that their re-
sources are exhausted and that they
are unable to further assist the fam
ished laborers and the women and chill
dren, as the distress is too acute.
At Ecija the population has looted
the baker stores.
The mortality among infants and aged
persons is attaining terrifying proper
tions and in many localities the working
people are living on roots. The gov
ernment has organized public works on
small scale, employing about 600 men,
but this is a mere drop in the ocean OF
misery, as moderate calculation shows
that 200, 900 are out of employment.
The territory most stricken forms
circle embracing Seville, Jerez, Cadiz,
Malaga and Cordova, where natural
forces appear to have combined against
the peoples welfare. The rivers for
years past have been gradually filling
with sand preventing navigation and
hindering commerce. The district has
been dry, but this year a two-months
drought, beginning in the spring, de-
stroyed all hopes for the reaping OF
crops and rendering the landscape prac-
tically desert, resembling portions of
Morocco.
The population is almost entirely
composed of day laborers who depend
on agricultural employment and when
that fails, which is frequent occur
renee, though more marked this year
than even before, practically every
body is thrown into condition of indi-
gence.
Murmurs of revolution have awak-
ened apprehension and the farmers ev-
erywhere are taking refuge in The cit
les, while the police regard acts of pill
lage with indifference refusing to arrest
men who frequently accuse themselves
in order to obtain food.

ASKS ROCKEFELLER TO PAY INDEM-
lTY
Paris Paper Calls On American Million
alre to Bring War to End.


Paris, August 26.-Owing to the re-
ports from Portsmouth indicating that
the question of peace between Russia
and Japan hinges solely onRussia's pay
ing an indemnity to Japan, the Matin
has cabled tonight remarkable appeal
to John D. Rockefeller, at Cleveland,
Ohio. The appeal in part as follows:
"The question of money threatens to
unloose afresh and with redoubled viol-
ence the scourge of war. President
Roosevelt is making noble and heroic
efforts to end struggle between two
nations whose populations amount to
one-seventh of the entire population of
the globe. His initiative honors America
in the opinion of civilized nations. The
question arises as to whether another
American would not share the glory of
President Roosevelt and complete his
work by overcoming the sole obstacle
now hindering peace. He would thus
demonstrate the might of money in
powerful and generous hands. The
Matin, constituting itself spokesman
for this sentiment, addresses the richest
citizen in the world."
The appeals concludes with lengthy
arguments showing the immense bene-
fits such an act would confer upon civil
ization.
