New Orleans Authorities Refuse To
Turn Over FeIker..

= New Orleans, March 10.-As a result
CT conference here today between
Chief of Police Bousch of Norfolk, Va,
and District Attorney Parker, the New
Orleans authorities announced that
they would not turn over to the Vir-
ginia officer Thomas G. Felker, pris-
oner held here.
Felker is suspected by the Norfolk
police of being implicated in the mur-
der of Alston H. Berry, of Rome, Ca,
in Norfolk last October He has con-
fessed to several robberies here and
District Attorney Parker claims that
if he was surrendered to the Virginia
authorities and then acquitted it would
be difficult to bring him back here
for trial.
Chief Bousch says that he will have
Felker inducted at Norfolk and that
Governor Swanson, of Virginia, will
then be asked to send requisition pa
pers for Felker to the governor of

fictitious water line, but should be
located with regard to the actual line
when a vessel is equipped for action.
He criticised the speed tests Of bat
tleships and declared that the vessels
run so light that the test is Of no
value in ascertaining the actual speed
of vessel when carrying full arma-
ment, crew and stores.
why should cotractors be permit
ted to bamboozle the country with
these fictitious speed tests?" asked
Mr.. Tillman.
They should not. That is Just
what / have been trying TO show" G.
piled Commander Key. He then pre-
sented a German criticism to the ef-
feet that the American and English
tests are of no value, while the Ger
man tests are made in accordancs
with war conditions.
Commander Key will continue his
testimony before the committee to-
morrow.

CONFESSED THEIR CRIME.
Four Negro Incendiaries Taken from
Officer by Mob and Hanged.

Toledo, Ohio, March 10.-Nape-
Icons union school, the largest build
ing of the kind in the state, which
was completely remodeled only last
April and had cost the county $110,-
600 altogether, was destroyed by fire
this morning. A repetition of the
Collinwood horror was possibly
averted by only a quarter of an hour
in the time of the starting Of the
fire, as the children were on their
way to school, and some were play
ing in the yard when it was discoY-
\ered. At o'clock when the school
pupils should have been in their
seats, the main part of the building
was a mass Of flames.
Superintendent Bemer. and Prin-
cipal White were the only persons in
the building when the fire broke out,
the other teachers not having arrfv-
ed. The two men ran to the stairway
leading to the attic and were driven
back by a shower of sparks and a
great volume of smoke. The fire had
evidently caught from defective
fue in the furnace chimney, where it
ran up through the attic.
Before the fire department could
get stream on the building the
flames had gutted the attic. dropped
to the floor below, attacked the east
wing and was roaring up the big
central tower. The bell fell inside of
Is minutes. The building is total
loss.
Eight hundred pupils were enroll
ed in the school. The big building
had "a rooms, including two large
play rooms and two engine rooms 1t
was recently rebuilt and was formal
ly opened last April.

THE COLLINWOOD CALAMITY.
Coroner Declares the} Loss of Life
Was InexcuSabIe


Was Inexcusable.
Cleveland, O., March 1O.-The
loss of the lives of the little chill
dren in the Collinwood school fire
was absolutely inexcusable," Coro-
ner Burke declared today after max
ing thorough investigation into the
causes of the fire and the reasons
why the children were caught in the
hallway and burned without being
able to escape.
caught in veritable trap and held
and crushed until burned to death, .
he said.
Someone is responsible for this
and should be held. l am not pre-
pared yet to say upon whom the
blame should be placed. 1t is a mat
time to consider Before l can
charge any one with this horrible re-
sponsibility l must review the evil
dence carefully and deliberately l
find that the steam pipes caused the
fire by being placed too close to the
wooden joists. There is no doubt in
my mind that the overheated pipes
caused the fire. But the children
should have escaped and would have
done so had it not been for the par
tition built in, the hall at the foot
of the stairway This Ia what, caus-
ed their DEATH aIAta
The coroner said that the building
was also deficient in the lack of au-
tomato devices for opening doors.
Little Anna Neubert, the child who
first discovered the fire In the Col
linwood school house, told her story
to Deputy Coroner Houck today. Fire
arshal Brockman was unable to ap-
pear. He is practically. the .only re-
naming witness to be examined. !.
Coroner Burke will render his yer-
dict probably early in the coming
week

FOUND IN THE RIVER.
Body Discovered Yesterday Morning.
Smith Conducted Restaurant at
Place Where Murder OF George
Robinson Occurred-Many Believ-
ed Smith Knew More of the Trag-
edy Than He Cared to Admit-So
Inquest Lid Over His Body

The body of Owen Smith. the col
ored restaurant keeper. whose myster
ious disappearance several weeks ago
had excited some interest, was found
Yesterday morning shortly after
O'Clock floating in the Cape Fear riv
er beneath a wharf just south of the
Castle street dock. The body was
first seen by a fisherman and he Sc
cured it with a rope and towed 1t
into the Castle street dock where il
was shortly positively identified as
being the remains of Smith. Coroner
Bell was soon notified and after view
ing the remains he concluded that
no inquest was necessary and the
body was turned over to Teachey, the
colored undertaken who prepared ii
for burial.
Owen Smith conducted the restau-
rant in the southern section of the
city at which few days before his
disappearance, a young colored boy,
George Robinson, was killed, Furman
Lee, a young white man, having been
held by the coroner's jury On the ev-
idence of Smith and others for the
superior court on the charge of hav-
ing fired the fatal shot. None of
the witnesses saw the shooting and
testimony was only circumstantial.
On the day following the tragedy
Smiths restaurant, where the killing
occurred, was ordered closed by the
mayor, and 1t was put out of busi-
ness by Chief of Police Williams
On Thursday afternoon, following
the tragedy on Sunday, Smiths hat
coat and Vest were found in shed
stored with lumber at the Bell aud
Cantwell lumber yards, in the south
ern section of the city, a note hav-
ing also been found, it is stated, di
rected to Smiths brother, telling him
of his intentions to take his own life.
It was believed then that he had COM
mitted suicide and the river in that
section was dragged for two or three
days, but no trace of the body could
be found Because his body could
not be found many believed that
Smith had left his clothes lying on
the dock merely as subterfuge and
that he left the city to escape ap-,
pearing at the trial Of Lee.
The discovering of the body con-
firms the suicide theory and it has
given rise to the belief that Smith
knew more concerning the killing
than he swore to before the coroner's
jury and it is believed that it will
add hopeful aspect to the Lee
trial. Although there is no evidence
to confirm the belief many are con-
yinced that Smith may also have
Known something concerning the
murder of Charles Edwards, whose.
dead body was found on Kidders'
Hill, less than three blocks from
Smiths restaurant one Sunday
morning just two weeks beforerdl
morning just two weeks previous to.
the day of the Robertson murder. The
solution as to the mystery surround
ing that tragedy is as dense as ever,
there having never come to light the
slightest clue as to the identity of
the guilty party.
) Smith was a prosperous negro and
he owned several renting houses.
He bore good name among the
better class of citizens in the section
where he lived and was looked on
as a decent, hard-working negro.
