ANOTHER NEGRO SCHOOL BURNED

EAST ST. LOUIS, H., Nov. 2S.-A
large brick building at 400 Missouri
avenue. which was leased last week
by the Board of Education for negro
school. was destroyed by fire today
and there is evidence that prejudice
against the establishment of a school
for negroes caused the building to be
set on fire. The firemen found rags
soaked with oil on the second floor
hall. The destruction of the building
today marks the second structure leased
for a negro school that has been burned
within the last two weeks.

THEY NEED ESTELLE.
Newark Alderman Missing and Republican
Control OF Council In Danger.

Alderman John A. Estelle Of Newark is
missing and much concern is felt by his
colleagues in the Common Council. His
absence at thist time may prevent the reten-
ton Of power in the Council by the Repub-
lican party. Upon his return to Newark
in time to take part in the org anization of
the Council of 1907 may depend also the
positions OF about 300 department clerks.
Mr.. Estelle mas represented the Eighth
Ward in the board for three years. He has
still one year to serve He was a grocer
until last spring, when he sold out his bust
ness. his object being to go to the Pacific
Coast and there reestablish himself in bust
ness He left Newark quietly a week before
the election. The Common Council consists
OF thirty members. In the present body
twenty seven of these are Republicans. '
Il will not be missed, as the Republicans
will surely have a good working majority
without me next year" Mr.. Estelle told his
party leader, Alderman Curtis r. Burnett,
the day he left Newark.
But the election was a landslide, and the
Democrats carried twelve wards, giving
them enough members OF next years Coun-
Gil TO make il a tie, even il Alderman Estelle
returns. When this situation dawned upon
the Republican leaders, they set out to
locate MIR. Estelle and call him back. But
to their cha grin and to the anxiety Of the
Republican Office holders nobody has as yet
been able to get word to the absent man.
Even Mrs. Estelle, his wife, vas unable to
throw light yesterday on her husband s
movements other than to say that she had
heard from him at Salt Lake City, San
Francisco and Pasadena.
MY husband did not intend to return to
Newark, but to locate in the West and rave

in business. l am sure, though, hat when
he learns OF I political situation in Newark
