BIG FIRE IN PARKERsBURa.
Factory, Ice Plant and Twelve Resi-
dences Burned.


PARKERSBURG, w. Va, August 49,
Fire which started just before noon to-
day in the machinery of the West Viz
ginia Veneer and Door Company de-
stroyed the factory and the large plant
of the Parkersburg Ice Company. burned
twelve residences, damaged the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad bridge over the Ohio
river. and for time threatened the en-
tire lower section Of the city.
Low water pressure and the bad con-
dition Of the water plugs materially ham
pered the firemen in their work. but late
this afternoon they believed that the fire
had been brought under control, although
the flames were still raging fiercely. Rail-
road employees were busily sprinkling the
wooden parts of the bridge, which was
scorched for a distance of several hundred
feet. the fire having started in a building
under part of the bridge. Wires Of the
railroad and telegraph companies suffered
by the fire on the bridge. The loss thus
far Is conservatively estimated at $780,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON. Mass, August 12.-In the UNI
dercurrent Of events which only occa-
sionally becomes apparent In the regular
sessions of the convention here of the
International Typographical Union there
are at least half a dozen questions that
are of absorbing interest and of great i'm
portance to the typographical workers
everywhere. and the Washington printers
are important factors in most of these
questions.
The convention is now in session and
conducting its routine business. But be-
fore the delegates gathered in the con-
ventiOn hall there occurred lively sklr-
mish between the many factors IN the
fight for the next convention lnroaos on
by all three principal points-St. Joseph.
Seattle and Minneapolis-who are putting
up the biggest battle and spending the
most money to get the convention.

question But far and above all other
questions is the one concerning national
politics.
Gompers and Politics.
President Gompers strong and unequiv-
ocal, stands for Bryan and Kern, and his
call sent out yesterday for funds from
the unions to aid the democratic ticket
has thoroughly stirred the typos.
Joseph f. Goodkey. one of the Washing
ton delegates, who has been much in the
limelight here, Is arguing with the print
ers from Washington that they should
remain neutral so far as officially indors-
lieves that the l. T. L. should totally
eschew politics, but it is certain how
ever, that the typos who are for Brya
and Kern, and they are believed to be
strong in numbers. are planning deter
mined effort to get through resolution
whereby the I. T. L. will officially indorse
Bryan and the Injunction plank in the
democratic platform.
The appearance in the official publica-
ton of the convention, an elaborate af'
defending his stand on labor questions
and containing extracts from his speeches
favorable to union labor. while Mr.
Bryan's name does not appear, has
caused no little comment by the printers
here. although the Taft boost carries the

If President Gompers does come here
and address the typos, as he has been
requested to do, and then renews his eff
forts to bring about an Endorsement fol

STREET RAILWAY RIGHTS.
Statement as to the Use Of Public
Thoroughfares.

From the Real Estate News.
A man named Hughes owned a house
in the western part OF Fort Madison,
Iowa. which he wished to move to Santa
Fe avenue. near Hanover street. Thomas
and Frank Dodson house movers. under
took to do the lob. The house. thirty
feet long and twenty-one feet high. was
loaded tmbers resting upon wagons
The contractors proposed to convey the
structure along Santa Fee avenue dis
lance of about one and one-fourth miles,
and they gave notice accordingly to the
Fort Madison Street Railway Company
which operated trolley line along this
thoroughfare. that its wires would inter
fere with the work and must be removed
The company secured an Injunction re-
straning the owner Of the house and
the contractors from moving the house
along the tracks and from interfering
with the trolley. This injunction has
been affirmed by the supreme court of
Iowa.
There was no question about the right
of the street railway company 10 operate
its line under its franchise but the claim
was that the use of the street for line
of cars was coordinate with the right of
the public 10 use it for travel and other
street purposes. and that the moving of
houses was one OF those street purposes.
1t appeared that this house could not be
moved down the street without inter-
rupting traffic for hours. or perhaps days.
nor without removing the wires and poles.
A person may move house along a
public street If the conditions are such
that he can do so without injury TO 9TH
ers. and without creating nuisance by
the obstruction of travel. but he cannot
for that purpose take exclusive possession
of a street which has been lawfully APP
propriated for the operation of an cleo
tric street railway.

When One Spends Money.
From App!eton's.

rom App!etOn =.
One would think that money would be
saved in prosperous times when there is
plenty of it about But no. that is not
the time when it is saved IT is then that
it is spent. Everybody spends jt-gov-
ernments, railroads, corporations capital
lists. housekeepers. house builders col
lectors. People expand their wants in
such times, and satisfy some of them
and then is when it is most of all impos-
sible to live on anything year. Eut
after all the money has been spent a
few times over and has begun to be
scarce, and borrowing has come to be a
serious matter. and folks have much less
to spend and no expectations: then every
body grOans and begins to save not only
trying desperately to squeeze back inside
of the bounds of income. but to pay back
what was spent in expectation of d time
when saving would have become cno-
venient.
To most of us that time never comes.
And yet there are things for which We
spend more than we can afford. tina.
really do Justify eXpe aditures. so
that after the money las been spent and
we are Dnched for the lack OF il we
would still rather have what ii bought
than have the money back.
