For those Of our readers who may not
have heard the sad news we may mention
that Mrs. Colberg died in Frederiksted on
Thursday morning after a very shors illness.
The case is the more sad from the fact that
the family had only. recently arrived from
Denmark, Mr.. Colberg having received an
appoin tnent as teacher in the new School in
Frederiksted. All who read will, we are
sure, join in sympathy with the bereavsd
family.

secretary of the treasury, who manag
ed the Republican campaign four years
ago, and held late today at the Man
haitian hotel. In addition to talking
with Mr.. Hitchcock about the politi-
cal situation generally throughout the
country. Secretary Cortelyou Is said
to have taken up the governorship
question in New York State.
At one time the head of the treasury
department was accredited in political
circles here with being an aspirant for
tho Republican nomination and he was
thought to be favored by some of the
state leaders who have opposed the re-
nomination Of Hughes. He could not
be seen here today and Mr.. Hitchcock
declined to say what had been talked
about. beyond admitting that he had
heard great deal more about the
state question.
Representatives Bennett and Parsons,

The Republican Prospects

Poll Tax Division Spreads
Panic Among Democrats.
State Likely to Join Other Border
States For Taft.

Richmond, Va, Aug. 4.-Consterna-
ton prevails in the ranks Of the Demo-
cratic party in Virginia and the Demo-
cratic leaders both here and in other
parts Of the state frankly admit among
themselves that if recent decision of
Judge Martin, of Norfolk, is not re-
versed before the coming national cleo
ton. Virginia must for the first time
since Mahone's day be counted in the
Republican column.
The decision is on the Interpretation
of the poll tax clause in the state con-
stitution Section q of Article III of
the Virginia constitution requires that
every man otherwise qualified to vote
must personally pay his poll tax at
least six months before election time.
judge Martin, in deciding test case
on this clause. ruled that personally
pay" means that the prospective voter
must in his own person hand to the
proper state or county officer the
amount of his poll tax. He even went
so far as to decide that payment by
personal check, when not made in per-
son was a violation of the clause.
The result Of this decision, judging
from a cereful study and analysis of
available figures, practically means
the disfranchisement of 80 per cent of
the Democratic vote Of the state,
while it means only the disfranchise
ment of approximately Is per cent. of
the Republican voters. The reason
for this is that the large majority OF
the Democratic vote is pOlled In the
rural districts, where it has been the
custom for years for farmers and land
holders to mail checks for their poll
tax to the county treasurer. The
farmers before the Martin decision
hardly ever thought Of hunting up the
county treasurer in person to hand
him over the $3.50 tax. On the other
hand, the larger part of the Republic
can vote is polled by negroes, who, as
rule, do not own much it any land
and pay their poll tax is person. The
great majority of white Republican
voters in Virginia live in cities. where
it is easy to pay the tax in person.
In 1904 Bryan received from Virginia
SO,648 votes, to Roosevelt's 1880 These
figures show how grave is the situa-
ton facing the Virginia Democrat
leaders 1t is estimated that IL the
Martin decision is not reversed the

building containing it was consumed.
Debris from the holder smashed in the

The bolt of lightning lodged the two
larger gas tanks of the three in the plant
and struck the smallest one. The latter
was Of old-faskioned construction with
walls of brick and the roof of wood and
slate.
When the bolt struck it seemed to circle
about the top Of the tank, cutting away
a eirder. and then flashed into the cupola
and down through the roof into the tank,
The explosion ripped OF part of the roof
at the edge, scattering bricks all over the.
vard, while the remainder of the roof col
lapsed inside the tank. The gate house,
built against the wall Of the tank, was
burned and the roof was crushed In by
the shower of bricks from the tank.
Tn spite of the rush OF flames following
the explosion and the fact that the other
two tanks, containing together 100000 feet
Of gas. We're close by they suffered no
damage.
John X. Harrington, the engineer in
charge of the tank. was the only person
injured and he only slightly. Mr. Har-
rington was in the gate house when its
roof was crushed. but he escaped with a
few bruises. Mr. Harrington jumped for
a fire alarm box as soon as he was clear
of the wrecllage. but someone had reach
ed it before him. The fire department
had little to do beyond protecting other
buildings of the plant.
