HIGH SCHOOL ROWING CLUB.
Proposed to Put It on Sound Basis at
It's Inception.

The sentiment in favor Of high school
aquatcs has crystallized to such an extent
that at mass meeting to be held at the
Riggs House on the night Of June II plans
for the formation of a Washington High
School rowing club will be fully discussed
and committees appointed to advance the
project. The purpose Of the movement IS to
bring rowing-not only crew rowing, but all
forms of healthful water sports-within the
reach of the high school boy. To that end 1t
is planned to organize boat club that will

Horses and jockeys none too kind
to the people anyway. 1t Is hard enough
to try to beat them, when one has plenty
of time to dope them out and look around
the track a bit, but when a horse Is sprung
in the last few minutes then there Is hardly

was the largest assenblage ever collected
on an American course form reversals and
inconsistent performances lave been so ire
qUcnt as to correspondingly disappoint and

a joke as far as any real view of 1t was

For over forty years. since Francis Nor

interest But decided as it is now over
a circuitous zJgzag course away down on
the lower training track, nearly all OF the
first mile is almost out OF vision. as far as
tn, position or identity of the contestants
IS concerned. leaving virtually less than
half a mile in which the horses can be
made out clearly by the naked eye.
Part of the race horses race to the left,
then at a turn for the next half they race
to the right causing confusion and hesl-

to ''bohbie' and make mistakes in chang

Will Be Watched With Interest.

The race to Bermuda will be watched
with keen interest. not alone by yachtsmen
of this and foreign countries. but also by
naval officials. as the successful termina-
ton of the race will prove without a doubt
the reliability Of the internal combustion
motors for marine purposes. both naval and
commercial, as we'll as pleasure. While to
some the race might appear hazardous, yet
there is no more hardships to be encoun-
tered than with any other type of boat upon
winds or using steam.
While the entries have been fewer than
expected as in all other sports, it has re-
manned for some few to be the pioneers
to demonstrate the successful achievement
Of such race. In all probability, history
repeating Itself as in the case Of the sail

will find large list of entries for the event

entry list but the distance is only approx
mately one-half that Of the distance in the

CAR BARN and
CARS BURNED
CAMDEN INTERSTATE. COMPANY
SUFFERED HEAVY Loss
NINETEEN CARS DE-
sTRoYEp.

HUNTINGTON, Jan 24.-At a few
minutes past two o'clock yesterday
morning fire was discovered in the
Camden Interstate car barn. located
at Johnson's lane, and before the prog.
ress Of the flames could be ef~fectualiy
checked, the building was completely
DESTROYED, and nineteen cars used by
the company reduced to worthless de.
bris.
The central fire company respond.
ed promptly to the alarm. but owing to
peculiar conditions there was some de.
lay before a hose was applied. The
highly conbustible quality Of the mate.
rial subjected to the flames and the
fact that there was a brisk wind blow.
ing from the river rendered the situa.
ton n Of extreme Difficulty and the
cara We're consumed almost as rapid.
ly as If they had. been made Of pulp.
The two central city companies ar.
rived on the scene. but too late to rem.
der any effectlal assistance in the
matter of saving the property in the
car barn. but by their efforts did much
in the work of preventing the spread
Of the fire to adjacent property.
Responding a third alarm the canda
hose company reached the scene. but
too late 10 render assistance. The
food conditions in the East End rem
dered 1t practically impossible for the
canda company to reach the western
limits of the city.
The power house. or more properly
termed, the sub-station. was not dam.
aged by the fire, with the exception
that many wires were grounded. This
necessttated the turning off of the
current as a precautionary measure,
and the city was in darkness from
three O'Clock until daylight.
AS a result of the fire service on
the Camden Interstate will be prac-
tically suspended for an indefinite Pc
Rod. The nineteen cars destroyed
comprised the best of the rolling stock
of the company and the cars will not
suffice to accommodate even the local
traffic.
The loss viii be extremely heavy.
Placing an estimated value of $4,000
each upon the nineteen cars destroy
ed. this item alone would amount to
$4,000. The building and other &C.
cessories will swell the sum to a.
much greater figure. From the best
information ebtainable only five or
six cars are left to perform the SER
vice locally at catlettsburg and Ash.
land. and in Huntington. to say moth

FATHER OF
BOY is HELD
ELDER LEEosoME CHARGED
WITH BEING ACCESSORY TO
kiRkENpALL MURDER.

PARkERSBURG, Jan. 24.-charged
with being an accessory before the
TACT of the murder OF d. H. Leedsome,
a prominent citizen of Writ coanty,
was arrested yesterday afternoon and
landed in the county jail at Eliza.
beth, in connection with the shooting
of James Rirkendall by his son some
three weeks ago. The FATHER is a.
cused of having melted the crime.
The information was made by Pros.
ecutor Fought, who alleges that as
the result of an investigation he has
found that young Leedsome was en-.
couraged in the crime by his father.
1t is alleged that he elder Leedsome
loaded the revolver and placed It In
the hands OF the boy and that he told
him to shoot Kirkendall. One version
which reached the. prosecutors office
was that he father threatened the son
IL he did not comply with his demand.
The motion. It is claimed by the
State, was an old neighborhood
grudge, and 1t is alleged that Iced.
some, fearing to commit the crime
himself, employed his son to commit
the murder.
Attorney T. A. Brown. who has
been retained by the defense in the
case, said last evening that he was
confident there was nothing in the
story that the elder Leedsome wa IN.
yoiyed in the matter. He said that
the boy would testify that he was in
no way encouraged by his father. Tn,
boys testimony Is expected to save
the father, who is held without bond.
The case comes up for grand Jury IN.
yestigation in about two weeks.
