MEETS DEATH ON RAIL.
Brakeman Roy Finley Killed at New
Empire sunday Morning.

The death of Brakeman Roy
Finley, who was killed at New
Empire early Sunday morning,
causes regret, not only among
the employees of the Henderson
division, but to the numerous
other friends of the unfortunate
young man as we'll.
1t appears that the accident
occurred as a result of Finley,
whose train was on the main
track, stepping onto the passing
track on which the hill engine
was moving. The hill engine was
preparing to assist the train over
the steep grade at that point at
the time of the accident. He was
cut in twain and mangled almost
beyond recognition.
The remains were conveyed to
Hopkinsville and prepared for
burial. The body was forwarded
to his home at Nashville, Tenn.
that afternoon and inferred
Tuesday. The deceased was a
member of Smiley Lodge of Odd
Fellows at Nashville. A dele
CATION from the Hopkinsville
lodge accompanied the remains
to Nashville.
Finley had been employed as
brakeman on this division for
two years and gave promise of
being successful in his chosen
avocation. He was born at
Morgantown, KY, and had
reached the age of 90 years at
the time of the sad occurrence.
The untimely end of young Fin
ley is unusually sad, he being
the only son OF Howard and
Josephine Reener Finley, OF
Nashville. The young man was
also the only support of his
parents, his father having been
an invalid for more than one
year.

A Striking. Novel and Important Feature


A striking feature of the
jamestown Exposition is the
Collective Exhibits by cities,
comprising aud combining their
manufactures and municipal at
fractions.
The plan is meeting with gen
eral approval, a number of the
larger cities having secured
large areas for a display, aud
many smaller places are falling
into line. The economy and
simplicity of the plan appeals to
every community that has at
fractions to offer to settlers and
desirable locations for manu-
featuring plants. 1t appeals to
local pride aud to those manu-
factures who desire to extend
their business or the territory
they desire to cover.
Different trade organizations
are also contemplating selective
exhibits of the highest produc
tions of their members, the plan
being similar to that whereby
pictures of articles are selected
by committees for exhibit in the
salons of Paris. BY this means
only the best are shown.
The President and United
States Commissioners are espec
tally anxious to have the highest
and best products of our factor
les shown to the thousands of
foreigners who are coming to the
Exposition which will include
the greatest naval and military
display the world has ever seen.

Advocates Reorganization ol
Republican Party in Ken
tucky.
Owens Defeated by LACK OF Interest Of
So-CsIIed Republicans"
(From the Louisville Herald.)

Major w. O. Ovens defeat in
his race for Congress was due
wholly to the lack of interest OF
so-called Republicans. The Her
aid can say this with good grace,
because it gave to Major Owens
and his campaign its full and un-
divided support.
1t is fact that Major Owens
went down to defeat without the
regret of many men who owed
him much. He has been gal
liant fighter in the ranks of Re-
publicanism, and he fought for
and, almost single handed, won
the nomination for Congress
against the united efforts of the
machine forces.
The plain duty of the clique of
disappointed politicians was to
forget the skirmish, to enter into
the fray and to defeat the enemy
Did they do it? Not one of them.
The distinguished representative
OF the discrediied Baker machine,
who failed to get the nomina-
ton, not only sulked throughout
the entire campaign, but inocu-
lated other party workers, to
their shame, with the virus Of
hate and cheap spleen.
There is but one redeeming
feature in the whole wretched
business, and that was in the
utter unseIfishness of young
Republican, who practically car
ried the whole load on his own
shoulders. 1t is but simple JUS
tice to pay tins tribute to Joseph
Selligman.
Campaigns for Congress, or
for any other Office, or for any
great cause, are not won by
generals who operate from high
Office buildings, but by the gen
erals who can command respect !;
by generals who will go where
they ask others to go, and by
generals who are unafraid.
The party welfare in this dis
trict is nothing more or less than
screaming farce. 1t is to laugh
from nomination day to election
day-and then some. We are
ashamed to say it, but 1T is the
simple truth that the Republi
can organization in this city,
county and district, would be a
discredit to the army of Coxey.
1t is too late in the day for
any of these silk stockinged poll.

canism of The Herald. Through

paper has consistently for the
principles of Mckinley an d
Roosevelt, while the self ap-
pointed leaders were pursuing
the will-o'- '-the-wisp of paltry
Offices.
What have these men done to
help the party? They go into
office, and build up machines.
They 90 out of Office and tear
aown the house that has shelter
ed them. Pique, selfishness, ut
ter unconcern for party prln-
ciple, marks every step in their
political career.
Is it any wonder that the men
in the trenches, butfeted and
battered like SO many cattle in
stock cars, rebel at this stupid
and unreasoning leadership? Is
1t to be marveled at that men
prefer their business or their
freside to their duty in the work
demanded .hy party harmony?
The Herald has been ashamed
of the campaign of Major Owens.

GUARANTEED IN HOSPITAL.
Ten Patients and Four Nurses Isolated
at Garfield.

Ten patients and four nurses at the Gar
field Hospital are under rigid quarantine
because of the discovery that Cabannis
Owens colored, a patient, had developed
smallpox. Owens was admitted to the in
stitution February 2, but not until Satur-
day evening last was 1t evident that his
symptoms indicated smallpox He was
then hurriedly removed to the quarantine
station for further observation yesterday.
The telltale rash appeared yesterday and
the man was transferred to the smallpox
hospital
Because of the length of time Owens was
permitted to remain In the Garfield Hos
pital the health authorities this morning
were loath to predict what the outcome
would be. 1t was argued that the other
sick men would seem to be particularly
liable ITO contract the disease because OF
constitutional weakness incident to other
suffering, and for this reason an unusually
careful watch will be maintained for fur
Their outbreaks of smallpox. All ten pa
tients remaining in the ward as we'll as the
four nurses who attended them, were
promptly vaccinated, and all will be iso-
lated in that wing of the hospital

lived at 1924 9th street southwest but a
visit to the house convinced the health au-
thorities that the source of infection did
not lie there, because the man had not
been home for several weeks prior to his
admission to the hospital.

THE MOROCCAN CONFERENCE.
British Government Has Given Up
Hope of Amicable Settlement.

LONDON, February 12-While the Brit
ish government has not relaxed its efforts
to bring about agreement between
France and Germany on the question of
the Moroccan police, it has given up hope
OF an amicable settlement. 1t is expected
in official circles that the Algeciras con-
ference will break up, possibly during the
present week, leaving the Moroccan situa-
ton where 1t was before the conference
was called.
Germany Is given the credit for the fall
ure. In fact, Il is believed here that Em-
peror William, realizing that there is 20
hope of Germany's demands being Endorsed
by the powers, IS now anxious that the
conference shall fail. Great Britain main
tatns her position supporting the French
demands IN regard to the police, and ca l.
not see any reason for a compromise.
Should the conference break up It is I'M

policy of policing the Algerian frontier and

she cannot allow the disorder to continue

is pointed out, of having either to concede

France must not interfere In the affairs OF

REPORT ON SCHOOL BILL.
Disapproval Expressed of Two Pending
Measures

The Commissioners, In reports submitted
to Congress today, set forth their dlsap-
prevail of H. R. bills 11641 and 1881, both
of which apply to the public schools Of the
District. Both proposed measures, the
Commissioners say, contemplate a depar-
ture in the heretofore recognized rule of
Capitalization of authority. OF bill No.
1881 the report avs:
1T proposes to take the public school
system out of the government of the Dis
trict of Columbia and invest its control in
a board of education Ito consist of nine
instead of seven members as at present),
contrary to the course now being gen
orally followed by intelligent municipali
ties of reducing instead of increasing the
membership Of boards of education) APP
pointed by the President, of the
United States instead of as at
present by the Commissioners of the Dis
trict; it provides that the board shall sub
NIT its estimates independently of the Com
missioners, and of the other estimates and
the revenues of the District of Columbia; ;
that its bills shall be audited by the aud
itors of the treasury, instead of by the
auditor OF the District Of Columbia, and
that a subordinate official shall have
charge of the construction of new school
houses and the purchase of supplies indie
pendently of the Commissioners.
This proposition seems to be drawn
from legislation enacted elsewhere to lit
entirely different conditions from those OF
the District of Columbia, and appears to
have no warrant in the needs of the Dis
trict The bill also contains a number
OF details which would better be provided
in rules and regulations of the board OF
education than in a statute. and 1t includes
the subject of pensions for teachers, which
would better be considered in a separate
bill"
Similar comment Is made In the report
on the other BILL and both conclude with
the statement that the Commissioners can
not recommend the enactment of any bill
introduced at this session Of Congress with
reference to changes in the public school
system, except II. r. S472 which was pre-
pared by the Commissioners. They declare
that this measure has received the ap-
prevail of citizens of the District, both in
dividually and in their associations
