SCHOOL BUILDING BURNED.
Virginia Polytechnic Institute Suffers
Heavy Loss.

RICHMOND, Va, February 23.-Science
Hall at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute
Blacksburg, Va, was totally destroyed by
fire today. BY heroic effort the cadet fire
brigade saved mo. A. barracks, which was
in great danger. The loss is estimated at
$75 600, insurance $4,000. Very little of
the apparatus in the burned building was
saved. One person was struck on the head
by falling timbers and made unconscious.
The origin of the fire Is mystery, but the
theory is spontaneous combustion.

Reads Statement to Senate Committe
on Interstate Commerce.

Stuyvesant Fish, president of the Illinoios
Central Railroad read a statement today
before the Senate committee on interstate
commerce. which has the railroad rate bills
under consideration. Several members of
the committee desired Mr.. Fish to discuss
the subject of differentials, and he con-
sented to return to Washington at some
time convenient to the committee and give
his views.
Mr.. Fish gave an exhaustive review of
the changes that railway securities have
undergone in various parts of the coun-
great majority of stock now held in the
United States. whereas a number of years
ago il WAS held abroad.

No Truth in Strike Reports.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, February 23-Grand
Master p. H. Morrissey Of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen referring to the re-
ports to the effect that a strike Is theat-
ened on the Lackawanna road by his or
ganiZation rs a result of the discharge of

port and no strike or serious difference is
contemplated"

Operation of Differentials.

Operation of Differentials.
Touching lightly upon the subject of DIFF
ferentials Mr.. Fish gave practical exam
pies of the workings of rates in various
parts of the country. In answer to a ques-
ton by Senator Dollver he declared that
there was no truth in the charge that traf-
fic managers were disposed to build up
great communities and ignore the smaller
cities. He said that the complaints usually
came from manufacturing centers and big
shipping centers, and that undoubtedly
these centers prove magnet to the man
who goes after the business.
Senator Doliiver called attention to an
increase In the lumber rate from louisiana
and Mississippi.
Mr.. Fish said that the matter was now
before the interstate commerce commission,
and was fully explained and justified IN a
hearing before that body, but he did not
know what the decision would be. He said
If it was declared that the railroad COM
pany should reduce the rate the company
would consider whether 1t could afford to
take the business at lower rate, and If it
could not the business would be refused
The difference between the authority under
the present laws and the powers of the
commission under the bill passed by the
House We're discussed, but Mr. Fish in
sisted thar railroad company could not be
compelled to take business at lower rate
than it could afford You cannot get
blood out of a turnip,' he said.
Contest of Common Carriers.
Chairman Elkins called attention to the
powers of the government under the laws
governing common carriers. and Mr.. Fish
said: We'll. the law could compel a rail-
road to carry the business for a while, but
if it was at loss it would put the roads
into bankruptcy. and then the business
would have to stop.
The only alternative would be to make
up the loss by advancing the rates on other
articles. and so on down the line The law
does not contemplate that. The conditions
would become rapidly worse"
Mr.. Fish read large part of his state
ment, and agreed TO furnish much other in
forma ton to the committee as soon as he
could gather the data
The committee adjourned until tomorrow
when an executive session will be held to
consider the question of disseminating con-
sideration of the rate bill at the present
session, and sitting during the summer to
perfect a bill.

MOVED THE PRISONERS.
MEN At CENTRAL STATION TO

Women to Howard Avenue Station
Central Police station Fumigated--
Supposed Spotted Fever Case.
The male prisoners at the central sta
ton lock up were moved last evening
to the Grand Avenue station and the
female prisoners to the Howard avenue
station, and the cells and corridors and
station were. fumigated. This was all
on account of the fact that man NAM
ed Richard Mather was brought to the
central station yesterday afternoon at
about 8 o'clock, and he was found to
have every indication of being i'll with
spotted fever. He was brought in the
patrol wagon to the lookup from near
the armory and was supposed to be
drunk. .., tas..
Mather was found shuff1ing back and
forth in the corridor with his head
drawn back and his knees bent.
The officers thought the man was
crazy and brought him to headquarters.
Superintendent Rowe of the board of
charities was notified that a crazy
man was in the lookup, and he sent
DR.. Welch to make an examination.
Dr. Welch looked the man over and
talked with him. Mather complained
of severe pains in his head and neck.
He had some fever and was apparently
suffering very much. DR.. WEIGH said
the symptoms were those of spotted
fever and advised taking the man to-
the hospital, where a careful examina'
ton could be made. ... Bar
Mather said he is a member of the
National Blues. He has been suffering
from pains in his head and neck for
twenty -four hours, and within the past
few hours his head had been drawn
back. There were no evidences that
the man had been drinking.
Two officers had to support Mather
as he walked to the ambulance. His
knees were bent and trembled under
him and his head was drawn back so
that his chin pointed almost straight in
the air. When he reached the ambu-
lance he collapsed onto the bunk.
At Grace hospital last night it was
stated that Mather was in very seri-
Gus condition. ~
