ANOTHER ONO SCHOOL FIRE.

Cleveland. O.. May 14.-More than
100 school children had a narrow
escape from death by fire in a blaze
that broke out in the Independence
Catholic school and church at East
Seventy-first street and Freemont av-
enue. The church and school build
ing We're destroyed. Fortunately the
fire broke out at recess and most OF
the children We're in the school yard.
The flames spread with great rapid
tty, IL is probable there would have
been a heavy loss OF life had the fire
broken out when all the pupils were
in the building. II is believed, how
ever, that every one escaped.

SLIM CHANCE
TO BAR LIQUOR
All Anti jog Legislation My Fail
In Preset Congress.
ADVERSE WAS REPORT
Made by iub-conmittee Having Matter
in charge---Action Taken Was
Based on UnconstitutiOnality.

A Washington special says: The
prospect for the enactment of any pro-
hibition bills, giving to dry states the
regulation of interstate shipments Of
liquor upon crossing the border Of
such state, is exceedingly slim, so far
as this session of congress is con-
cerned.
Monday subcommittee of the SEN
ate judiciary committee decided
against the constitutionality of such
legislation by vote Of to 2. Sen
ators Bacon and Nelson voted to re-
port the Bacon bill. Senators Fulton,
Rayner and Knox voted against it. The
full committee meets March 20, and
will consider the two reports.
The full committee met later in the
day, and discussed the report by the
members of the subcommittee which
considered the bill Legal arguments
were made for and against the pro
posed legislation, but there was no di-

are for bill being reported to the
senate, The arguments were not ac-
cepted, and it was agreed finally to
have the views of the members print
ed Hearings ON these measures have
been held covering almost the entire
present session, and the bills were ad-
vocated by representatives of practi-
cally all of the states where there is
a strong prohibition sentiment.
The i-prohibitionists are pleased,
though not surprised, with the action
of the senate sub-committe, and they
are claiming in great glee that the
action will check the wave Of prohi-
bition that has been sweeping over
the country.
n congress declines to protect the
dry states, they ask, what then is the
use or the sense in voting liquor out
of state?
1t simply diverts the business and
sends, they claim, thousands Of dol
lars out of state to adjoining terri
tory, and in this connection they point
to the thousands of dollars that are
daily being sent out of Atlanta to
Chattanooga and other nearby cities

Considerable interest is being mani.
tested in the meeting in Atlanta on
March 20 of the county presidents of

Tax Valuation Day March IA.
Governor Smith, Treasurer Park and
Comptroller General Wright, under the
statute requiring that these three Off
cials fix the day, have named March
18th as the last day for arriving at
tax valuations for 1908. The fixing of
day for this purpose means that
when any citizen of the state gives
in his property for state taxation he
must return all property Of which he
was possessed on the date named. It
was found necessary some years ago
to select day for this purpose, as
prior to that time when the date was
fixed by law many taxpayers, seeking
to defraud the state, removed from
the state monies, securities, etc., just
before the coming of the date, and
solely for the purpose of avoiding the.
return of them to the tax collector
Convict Lease Question Paramount.
OF the many important questions
with which the approaching session
of the legislature will have to deal,
probably not one is more important
than the determination Of what Geor-
gia will do with her conyicts.
The present five year lease will ex-
pire March 81, 1909, and as the next
meeting Of the general assembly is the
last one before that time, it is nee
essary that the question be disposed or
There are now 2,400 felony convicts
in the hands Of the state. Some Of
these are worked by the counties in
which they are sentenced, but far the
larger part are leased. Those that are
leased bring to the state an average
of $225.25 each, the aggregate reve-
nue. from this source being about $375,
900. Upon the theory that they shall
hereafter be put upon the public roads,
this sum will, of course, be lost to
the state In addition, the state would
have to support the unfortunates-
burden which is now borne by the les
sees. Figuring this item at the con-
sentative estimate of $500 each per
annum for 2,400 persons, the cost Of
sustenance may be placed at $240000
On this basis of state operation, this
sum, which would be necessary olt
lay, can be added to the $375,OOO which
would be actually lost to the state
thus making the sum of $615,00O which
would have to be supplied should the
lease system be entirely abolished
