VISIT THE SCHOOLS
Commissioners Of Education on
Tour Of Inspection.
SOME ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
Metal and Asbestos to Be Used Over
Woodwork Around Furnaces and
Steam Pipes Quick Work
Done In Fire Drills.

The members of the board of educa-
ton made tour of inspection of the
school buildings Of the city Thursday
evening for the purpose of deciding
which buildings need fire escapes for
the better protection of the pupils, and
also to witness the fire drills of the

The second, fourth and fifth ward
and the high school buildings were in
spected, and at each of these a prac-
tical demonstration of the rapidly
with which the buildings could re emp
tied of the pupils in the event of fire
was given. 1t was found that the sys-
TEN Of drills instituted by the prin-
cipals was an excellent one, and would
prove of great benefit in case OF emer-
scncy.
The commissioners held formal
meeting Thursday night in the direc-
tors room at the Citizens National
bank, when il was determined to take
still further precautions against fire
at The different buildings. 1t was or
derod that metal shields should be
placed over the woodwork around the
air shafts and steam pipes, and thal
asbestos coverings should be used over
the woodwork about the furnaces in
the cellars.
Owing to the fact that the estimates
for the fire escapes had not been re-
ceived, the commissioners decided t.
wait few days before ordering ant
.placing the escapes in position on thu
different buildings. This will proba
bly, be done at special meeting tc
be called by President Young for mex
week
The commissioners expressed them
selves as being highly pleased witt
the precautions against danger from
fire at the school buildings, and be
lieve that the buildings have beer
placed in the best possible condition
to guard against loss in the event
of FIRE. The janitors are always or
duty. all doors swing out, the teach
ers are alert and confident and The
fire drills have added confidence to th'
pupils.

CASE NOW RESTING
sut Of HaRRis Disll|iRg Co. N
Hands Of County Court.
IT WILL Be DECIDED NEXT WEEK
Members of the Court to Hand Down
Their Decision Later Attorney
Anderson Talks About Suit
to a Newspaper Man.


The case of the Hannis Distilling
Co.. in which this corporation asks to
be relieved of the taxes on $4,000 bar
rels of whisky stored in the ware
houses Of the company here, is now in
the hands Of the Berkeley County
court, all the evidence having been
taken Thursday evening.
The court announced that the evil
dence in the case will be carefully
gone over and that the decision will
be withheld for several days. 1t is
probable that the court will announce
its decision at the regular session next
week.
Mr.. p. Louis Anderson, of New York,
who is associated with Faulkner, Wal
her & Woods for the Hannis Distilling
Co., and was here to assist in present
ing the case to the County court, was
seen by representative of The Even
ing Journal at the conclusion of the
case Thursday. Attorney Anderson
stated that there seems to be general
impression that the Hannls Distilling
Co. is seeking to evade the payment of
Just taxes, but that this is an entirely
erroneous impression. He declared
that there was no more reason why
the Hannis Distilling Co. should be
taxed for the $4,000 barrels of whis-
Ky stored in the warehouses here than
that one invidual should be taxed for
the cows or horses belonging to ano-
Their person, but which might have
been on hi lot the day the tax as
SCISSOR came around.
In speaking Of the decision OF the
Supreme Court Of Appeals Attorney
Anderson stated that the suit was de-
cided against the Hannis Distilling
Co. because the books and certificates,
which show the sale Of the whisky to
other firms and individuals, had not
been presented as evidence, but that
he believes the officials OF the compa
ny have now proved to the satisfac-
ton Of the court that the whisky is
the property of other people.
Mr.. Hannis declared that the Hannis
company is seeking to do what any
corporation or individual in Berkeley
county would do--resist payment OF
taxes on property that belongs T.
other people.

PERJURY AND ABDUCTION CHARGED
Defense offered No Testimony What.
ever, and the Case Was Taken
Under Amusement - Decision
to Be Announced Later.

Amos Beard, the young Martins
burg blacksmith, who was arrested on
the charges Of perjury and abduction
In connection with his elopement with
and marriage to Miss Edna Clabaugh,
tho t6-year-old daughter of Mrs. EN-
ma Clabaugh, of Hedgesyille, last Sun
day, was given hearing in Justice
rhompsons court this afternoon. The
trial resulted In Beart being rrmand-
ed to Jail pending the decision OF JUS
tice Thompson, who took the case un-
der advisement.
Attorney d. w. Snyder appeared for
the state, while the defendant was rep-
resented by Attorney Clarence II. Mar
tin. A crowd that packed the Office
OF Justice Thompson heard the case,
which proved to be interesting.
The state adduced evidence to show
that Beard had eloped with the girl
from her home in Hedgesville, and
that he had applied to County Clerk
Bender Saturday evening OF last week
for license. Mr.. Bender put him UNI
der oatlf and Beard swore that the girl
was q years old. The mother OF the
| girl then testified that the girl was 10
years old in December, 1907. That
Beard admitted that no knew the girl
was under legal age was testified 70
by reporter, who har interviewed
Beard the day after the elopement.
Beard telling the reporter that the
girl was about II years OF age.
The defense offered no testimo-
nv whatever, resting It's case upon the
argument of Attorney Martin. who
declared that County Clerk Bender had
no authority to administer an oath OF
this character, and that therefore
Beard could not be guilty, in a legal
sense, Of perjury, although he might
be guilty morally
AT the conclusion Of the arguments
| Juetiea Thomnson took the case t1Il-
der advisement, stating that he would
announce his verdict later.
