that the express company must &C.

CALLED DOWN
OR THE TRUTH ABOUT THE
SCHOOL FUNDS IN MAN.
NlNGToN DISTRICT.

The following letter explains itself:
Ed. West Virginian:
An article published in Mondays
Times is almost wholly wrong. VIII
you please correct the same as fol.
lows:
On the first Monday in July the
Board of Education met as prescribed
by law and transacted such business
as Ia to be transacted at the annual
meeting except the levy was not laid
as we did not have sufficient data to
lay the levy from, and the meeting
was adjourned until the Gath day OF
July, at which meeting the levy was
laid, but there being some question
as to the right Of the Board to levy
more than the increase provided for
under the new law at meeting held
on the 9th day Of August, the rate of
taxation for the building fund was
changed to comply with the provisions
of the new tax laws. The president
of the Board Of Education was pres.
ent at all these meetings and the one
saying he was not present simply pre-.
varicates.
The settlement with the sheriff is
correct, and shows the condition OF
the funds coming into the sheritt's
hands. He has nothing to do with out
standing accounts. This district has
been in debt since the building of the
new school building, made necessary
by the burning Of the old building. l
think this is generally understood.
Naither Cantain A NJ Prichard, nor
any of his friends for him, so far as
| know, have ever advanced one cent
towards the schools of this district, ex-
cent SO far as he paid his taxes the
same as any other citizen and tax
payer. He has helped no more in
proportion to his wealth than any 9th
er tax payer in the district.
Should the tax payers of this dis
trict want to know the cost OF the
news school building, let them call at
the Office of the Board Of Education
and they can get the exact figures.
Some of the sentences In the Times
article sound very familiar, as we
have heard them for years, Some OF
their close friends have even intimat-
ed that we burned the old building to
get the new one. AS a matter OF JUS
tice to the people of this district, we
ask you to publish this explanation.
Yours Truly,

Pres. of he Board OF Education.

KANSAS CITY
| HAD HOLOCAUST
THIS MORNING
At Least Is
People Are Dead

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. PEA fire
which burned to the ground early to-
day the Chamber of Commerce and
the large apartment house adjoining
is believed to have caused the death Of
at least 25 persons. In addition fifty
are reported injured, several of whom
are so seriously hurt that they will
die. Twenty-Five are known to have
been huddled on the roof or on the
ofurth floor Of the apartment building
when the walls suddenly crumbled and
the building collapsed. The estimate
of victims Is based upon this face and
the list of missing. Every one left in
the building was carried down in the
ruins and not one is known to have es-
capped. The fire originated on the first
floor of the Chamber of Commerce
building. 1t spread rapidly in all diree.
tions Sixty families, embracing over
two hundred souls, occupied the ad.
joining fiat building which also caught
fire at the ground floor cutting off all
possible escape Of the occupants, who
were asleep.
Many were aroused and found the
means Of escape blocked. They rush.
ed to the roof and soon every inch Of
space on the rof and top for was oc.
cupied. When the fremen arrived the
structures were blazing mass. Fire
ladders would not reach above the
third floor and number were rescued
there. Others jumped from the top
floor and the roof to be picked up bleed
ing and injured.
Heroic rescues occurred in several
cases. While every effort was making
to rescue the frenzied occupants of the
roof there was a mighty crash anl
men, women and children on the roof
as 1t sagged beneath them sank into
the blazing pile. Immediate search Of
the ruins for bodies is retarded by the
intense heat. One body, believed to
he that of Daniel Young was recovered
from the Chamber OF Commerce ruins.

foot deep Fortunately some of

jumped In and with the aid OF
another boat rescued the party.
While we glory in the boating
department of the school it is dan
gerous and wrong to parents of

SO if they fall IN they can wade
out. Most of the lady students
are farmers daughters. not one can
swim and it Is not right in the of
