BODY is POLITICALLY EVEN
AsPIRANTS FOR SENATE ACTIVE

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
WHEELING, W. Va, December II. 1910.
Following the recent democratic con-
ference at Parkersburg the report was
circulated and generally credited that the
democratic members of the state senate
had agreed to vote for DR.. Hatfield for
president and that they would according
ly allow the republicans responsibility for
control of legislation in that body.
Evidently that impression is at fault.
Contests have been filed against the seat
ing of two republican members-elect,
Hearne of Wheeling and White of the
Mingo-McDowell districts. These con-
tests have been entered obviously with Il
view of giving the democrats control of
the senate, which. on the face of the
returns, stood a tic.
However, everybody is nonplussed save
and excepting those within the inner
circles of the formative democratic or
ganlzatlon. There are wheels within
wheels, which make the situation difficult
to diagnose.

the trouble was that two boxes were
turned in at once, and that occasioned
the Jumble of taps. If Mr.. Hughes
was acquainted with the fire alarm
system, he would know that this is
impossible. Two alarms cannot be
operated at once. When one box is
tapped the striker in the tower is
closed with all contact from other
boxes until the first code is rung off.
The trouble is with the tension upon
the striking apparatus, and until this
is adjusted there will be no proper
alarm sounded.
AS a result of the jumbled mass of
meaningless taps yesterday afternoon,
the firemen about town were unable
to determine where to go to fight the
! ire. There was not one of the four
engineers at the confiagration, and
hoseman Furman Milford ran the
new LaF'rance engine with hoseman
Walter Paullin doing the stoking at
the fire box.
The unsatisfactory condition of the
alarm, and the fact that there is no
alarm at all vest of the river, has
caused the tiremen to protest in a
body to City Council against the rule

do not respond at a fire
