A disastrous fire started Thursday after
noon out near Kelleytown road, and is not
yet under control, though fire wardens
and their crews have worked day and
night. The fire has burned over several
hundred acres of wood and pasture land,
and is threatening the heavy wooded lots
between here at Southwest Harbor. Fears
are entertained that it may reach South
west Harbor. Both towns have men at
work. Late Saturday afternoon, as men
were returning from the fire, smoke was
seen coming out of South Seal Cove
schoolhouse, and Investigation showed
that some miscreant had entered the
building and set fire to some school books
that were kept in the big old-fashioned
desk. They also had torn map from the
wall and used it to start another fire.
The blaze was promptly extinguished, but
many of the books were burned. An
open window told how the fire-bug had
entered. All hope the guilty party may
be brought to justice.

ABB RUEF JURY DISAGREES
Jury Remains Six to Six for Forty
eight Hours.
Belief that Prosecutor Heney Prom
Used Immunity Probably In
fIuenced Members.

San Francisco, May 21.-The jury in the
bribery case against Abe Ruef, former
boodling boss Of Frisco, came in at 4:sO
o'clock this afternoon and reported a
disagreement and was dismissed after
being out forty-eight hours and taking
thirteen ballots.
The jury stood six to six, as on the
first ballot. The six men who refused to
convict held that the supervisors were
accomplices OF Ruef in boodIing, and.
therefore, their testimony could not be
accepted against the boss.
Ruef was tried on an indictment eharg-
ing him with bribing Supervisor Jennings
Phillips in the case Of the Parkside Rail-
road for a franchise in the suburbs Of
Frisco.
The star witness was big Jim Gallagher,
who handled all the Doodle for the super
visors, and his testimony was very clear
and convincing. The jury, however. were
evidently influenced by this plea of Phil
lips and Gallagher being accomplices, and
they were also influenced by the fact
that Prosecutor Heney had granted i'm
munity 10 all supervisors and even to
Ruef in case the boss furnished testi-
mony that would convict Calhoun and
other rich men. Heney denied repeatedly
that he had given full immunity to Ruef.

WILL TAFT DELEGATES STAY PUT?
Roosevelt First Choice of Many.

are anticipated in several quarters and
the effect of such a development may no,
prove inc0nseqnentiaL.
From the South are coming petitions
urging Roosevelt to stand as a candidate
for reelection. His hold upon that sec
tion is something remarkable That he
could break the "solid South" is not re-
garded as a mere political drem Well
informed Southern men say that ne would
carry North Carolina. Tennessee. Ken
lucky. and possibly louisiana. and that
in such States as Georgia and Virginia
an unprecedented vote would be cast for
him.
The Vice Presidency is now command
ing some attention. Many Republicans
would like TO see Vice President Fair
banks put on the ticket with Taft, as
suming that the Ohioan is to be the nomi-
nee Geographically. such a combination
does not commend itself TO party men,
but many OF them would be quite ready
to waive that objection. George Bruce
Cortelyou Is also much talked about these
days as a running mate fnctor. If the
convention should be stampeded to Roose-
velt it would mean the old TICKET again.
Of course. If the Taft programme be car
ried out the ticket will likely be Taft and
Fairbanks or Taft and Hughes.
This is the situation as it IS diagnosed
/ to-day.

Sir Casper Clarke Denies that He
Has Discussed bogus Paintings.
New York, May 21.-Sir Casper Purdon
Clarke, director of the metropolitan Muse
um of Art, has been quoted and mis-
quoted so promiscuously OF late, and has
been quoted even when he did not talk
to would-be interviewers who have sought
him, since the outbreaking Of the Evans
Cladsen scandal, that he is highly indig-
nant over It.
He so expressed himself unequivoeaily
to-day.
Since the discovery Of reprehensible
practices, alleged in the suits of Evans VS..
CIaussn. as characterizing dealings in
American paintings. Sir Casper has been
besieged by representatives Of sundry city
newspapers who have camped before the
door of his Office in the museum to have
him tell all about the bogus paintings
which they have placed IA the museum In
the park.

New York. May 22-The Cunarder Lusi-

She came over the long course
of about $3.50 niles. averaging more than
. knots AT times her hourly speed on
the nautical Westward day Of twenty-five
hours was more than IS knots.
This Is certain: She has got mortgage
on the $4,000 British mail subsidy. which
she and her sister ship, the Mauretania.
will earn for the line when they average
on one round trip 245O knots.

Then her trained stokers. piling more
than 1000 tons Of the best steam coal into
her yawning furnaces, forced her ahead
a few fractions Of a knot swifter than
any liner has ever gone, and she smashed
ali sinyIe-day runs by logging 632 miles.
At coon yesterday her skipper did not
tell the agents Of the Hne what speed he
had made for the day, contenting himself
with remarking that he was then 34s miles
east Of Sandy Hook. II was estimated by
experts at the Cunard office that the rec
ord for the day was pretty close TO $50
knots.
Has a Clear Sky.
4 dispatch from the ship last night said
the matchless liner had passed Nantucket
Shoals light ship at 6:S7 o'clock at high
speed through a smooth sea. The wind
was light from southeast and the air
clear. The ship came so close TO the light
vessel that passengers could be distin-
guished.
Her time may not excel that she made
over the short course, about 10 miles
less than the present, Of 4 days. Is hours,
and 40 minutes. but it viii come pretty
close to those figures. The hourly average
then was 2435 knots
Going over the short course at the speed
she has maintained on this trip, the Lusi-
tania would be entitled to call herself a
our-and-a-half-day boat.

New York. May a.-The report Of David

o'Gorman in the Supreme Court as ref
cree to take the testimony in the divorce
suit brought by Mrs. Ellen French Van
derbilt against Alfred G. Vanderbilt, was
submitted to-day to Justice O'Gorman.
It's contents were not made public, and
probably never VIII be. but its conclusion
is a recommendation by the referee that
Mrs. Vanderbilt be granted a divorce on
the strength of the evidence produced.
The motion was opposed by a repre-
sentative from the lawyers for Mr.. Van
derbilt.
There was no oral argument. and Jus
tice O'Gorman. who was busy with the
wood-Platt suit, took the papers and re-
served decision.

Mr.. c. c. FEATHERSTONE.
Prohibition Leader Addresses Orange.
burg Audience on LIQUOR Question.

~Orangeburg, Feb. 20. The Hon. C.
e.. Featherstone, of Laurens, the ac-
knowIedged prohibition leader Of South
Carolina, delivered a prohibition adj
dress in the Court House here this
morning, which was heard by a large
and enthusiastic gathering of many
prominent people of this city, including
a larg. number of ladies, whose efforts
were responsible for Mr.. Featherstone's
appearance here. The students of the
Orangeburg Collegiate Institute at,
tended in a body and gave close atten-
ton to the remarks of the speaker.
There is a determined effort on the
part of the prohibiticnists of this city
to conduct a campaign against the
liquor traffic with n view to eventually
making O~rangeburg County dry terri
tory and they are working faithfully to
such an end.
Mr.. Featherstone's ability as an ora
tor is well known, and aside from the
main theme of his discourse his speech
was greatly enjoyed and, no doubt, ac-
complished much good.
The speaker made an earnest appeaI
for prohibition to those who were not
numbered in it's ranks. and stated hat
II 5O per cent. of the church members
OF Orangeburg County will say that
they want prohibition they will GER
tainIy have it. He did not think that
the people of his generation appreciate
his efforts in behalf of prohibition. but
is certain that the coming generation
will. Mr.. Featherstone interspersed
his address with interesting statistics
showing the great evils which have been
wrought by whiskey. He suggested
remedies which would curtail, if not
stop altogether, the use of Intoxicating
beverages. He said that the fpbt
against the legal sale of whiskey which
was being waged now would be CON
tinued until success crowned the efforts
of the prohibitionists.
Mr.. Featherstone was warmly wei.
coined by the people Of this CITY. who
hope that he will come here again in
the near future, and should he decide
to enter the Guhernatorial race next
summer he can count on numerous votes
from this county.
