FIRES WITH FLOOD
VISIT WHEELING
POLICE RESCUE HUNDREDS IN
SkIFFS-THREE CHILDREN ARE
LOST-FlRE CHIEF LOST-PROP-
ERTY DAMAGE $4oo, 10000.

Wheeling, w. Va, March 15-Fires added
their horror to the distress Of flood in
the Wheeling district tonight, causing
loss of quarter of million dollars At
Bridgeport, opposite Wheeling, lime in
water set fire to the extensive plant OF
the Scott Lumber company, which was
completely destroyed, involving loss of
500. 900. Tne fire spread to a number of
nearby houses, Which were destroyed, and
the total loss is $4,000
For time it was feared that the fire
would spread to the principal business
section of the town, and owing to the
flood the flames could mot be fought at
all. At midnight an explosion of gas at
the Warwick pottery in South Wheeling
destroyed the greater part of the plant,
and threatened many houses in the vicin-
ity occupied mostly by Syrlans.
The police rescued a hundred or more
persons from their homes in skiffs, but
three little Syrian children were lost. The
loss will be over 100000.
At 3 o'clock it was reported that w.
G. Claylor fire chief, was drowned. When
the police began to rescue the foreigners
from the inundated buildings many peo-
pie jumped from buildings into overloaded
skiffs, which capsized Several persons
are thought to have drowned The fire
is still burning fiercely, but further de-
yastation is not expected.

FINLEY APPEALS
TO SOUTHERNERS
SOUTHERN PRESIDENT SAYS THE
ROADS WILL BE SoRELY TAXED.
PATRIOTIC DUTY TO HELP TO-
WARD BETTER RELATIONS.

New Orleans, March 1j.-An appeal to
all southerners to stand by the railroads
for the sake of the development of the
south was made tonight by W w. Finley,
president of the Southern railway at a
business mems banquet rendered him
here. He said In part:
"1f railways of the south are to be
brought up to the standard required by
the expanding business of southern COM
munities, the people of the south must be
actuated by the same spirit of eo-opera-
ton they sliofSed lr'ths early days of rail-
way building, when communities We'd
with each other in offering inducements
for construction. The day for govern
mental and municipal financial aid for
railway lines has passed, and the many
millions of dollars that will be required
for additional track capacity and terminal
facilities must be obtained from private
investors. This money cannot be sup
piled in any great amount from the earn
ings Of the roads. The greater part of
the money must be borrowed
Identified during most Of my business
career with railways of the SOUTH L know
the resources of its railways will be taxed
to the utmost to provide the additional
facilities that will be required The pro-
vision of these facilities at the earliest
possible date Is of incaIeulably more i'm
portance to the south than any possible
rate reduction or any proposition to PEN
alize roads for failure TO perform SER
vices which are beyond their present ca
pacity
II believe that It is to the interest of
the railways and the people that a spirit
of harmony and just dealing be fostered.
believe that in the present state of ar
fairs, it is the patriotic duty of every man
whether connected with a railway or not,
to contribute his utmost towards bringing
about these better relations
Mr.. Finley unqualifedly urged the de-
velopment of Mexican, Central and South
American trade by southern communities
with their down grade transportation lines
to the gulf.

Roosevelt viii Be Central Figure
in The Controversy
MAGNATES' FEARS AND HOPES
important Events on the Cards Are
Fraught With Deepest Signifi-
cance to Industrial and
Political interests.
BY WATTERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington March 5.-(Special. 1.-THE
political and legislative sharps are cheer
ing up. What threatened to be swell
spring and tedious and prosy summer,
are now roseate with promise of most
lively and interesting discussion fraught
with the deepest importance to the in
dustrial and political interests of the
Country.
Indeed public attention is likely to be
aroused to an unusual degree from the
fact that the public pocketbook is con-
cerned, as the question affects investors
of all classes.
President Roosevelt will be the central
figure of this new controversy and dis
cussion. He will be in the limelight every
minute, as it flashes, and his name will
be. on every ones lips as they ask, what
will Roosevelt do with the railroads?
What legislation will be recommended
next year. What will be the outcome of
the crusades against the railroads by
national and state authorities?"
There is thought to be no doubt that
the railroads of the country are on the
eve of developments in state and ma
llOHdl lSBl WHICH Will IdNc ldI
reaching influence upon their future. 1t
is evident that the federal government
is not done with its task of regulating
and controlling them, while the state
legislatures are just getting taste Of
blood.
As frequently 1inted out, the rail-
roads are more fearful of aggression
from the states than control by the gov
ernment, but they are keeping a wary eye
upon the latter proposition also The fears
and hopes of the railroads may be ,classl-
fled mainly as follows: They fear the
federal government will try to attack
the present system of capitalization and
establish a connection be%weefl freigilt
rates and capitalization. They hope the
federal government can, under the guise
of protecting interstate commerce, force
the states to keep hands-off the railroads
to a. considerable degree.
President Roosevelt is looked to by the
public, it Is said, to give the word for
future moves to regulate the roads, Back
of him stands a host of ambitious poll
ticians in every state, ready to rein
force his efforts and if necessary go them
one better. The public will have to differ
entiate between the public spirited and
the merely selfish politicians and that eff
fort will keep the public busy for awhile.
