SEVENTEEN SCHOOL
HOUSES BURN DOWN
During the Year in the State
According to Fire Mar
shal's. Report.

During the period OF one year,
from August, 1909, till August, 1910.
seventeen school houses were burned
in West virginia. Each pointed to
lncendiarism.
During the same period twelve sa-
looms were burned in the state,
some of which presumably by in
cendiarism.
The last school house fire of
questionable origin has just been
reported to the department of STAGE
Fire Marshal Ellison. 1t destroyed
the school property in Sherman dis
trict. Hampshire county, about 10
o'clock at night october 22. There
is no clue. so far, as to who caused
lit.
The fact is evident, according to
the fire marshal, that difficulty at
tends each OF the incendiary cases.
and a conviction is only the result
Of long and arduous labor on the
part OF the department and the
county officials in which the fire
hugs operate.
U.ually the school house fires fol-
low a controversy about the APP
.polntment of teachers and that af-
fords the basis for assumption as to
some of the persons who may be
guilty of setting fire to the build
ings.
one case is cited in Springfield
district. Monroe county, where three
school buildings have been burned
Dy incendiaries, all the buildings
having occupied the same founda-
ton.
The recent Hampshire county fire
followed. a school controversy. The
structure was considerable distance
away from any residence and It was
an easy matter for the freburg to
accomplish his mission. The blaze
started under the floor OF the porch
|fh 'front.' OF the building. The
RindlIng and fuel at the side OF the
building had only partially been de-
Estroyed when the blaze was dIscov-
cred, too late for the citizens to save
any part OF. the building.

PREP MEET TOMORROW.
Georgetown Embryos Plan Monster
Glass Affair in Gymnasium.

Seven-thirty o'clock tomorrow night at
Ryan gymnasium is the time and place
at which the Georgetown props will hold
their first annual indoor interclass track
meet The contests will take the place
of the oldtime outdoor set of games which
used to be held in the fall. and to the
class capturing the greatest number of
points will be awarded a silver trophy
cup symbolical of the interclass track
championship of the year. Because of
the honors at stake and the fact that
the affair is an innovation it is attract
ing much attention from the students at
the hilltop school, and the many entries
already received make it certain that all
Of the different events will be well filled.
The regular A. A. L. system of counting
points will be used in tallying up for the
trophy cup, while handsome prizes are
to be awarded to those getting first place
in each event. Besides the class cham
pionship, it is expected that many in
dividual records will be hard pushed, and
it is not at all impossible that there will
be few new recordholders on the
heights after the games are finished. To
hold a Ryan gymnasium record in one of
the standard contests has OF late become
a distinction at Georgetown, and there
are many of the students entered in to-
morrow evenings meet who are anxious
to gain this honor if possible.

pionship to Jerome keogh, are prepar-
ing for new worlds to conquer. Hueston

Denver, and Demarest expects to regain
his title before many months. Both play
ers lost their title last week.
HuestOn will play all Corners at Doyle S

his match with Games. He confidently
expected he would be able to defend his
pool championship against keogh and
capture the three-cushion title as well,
but now that he has lost his title, he has
determined to gain another in a new
field.
While Cline succeeded in beating Dem
Arrest last week, the ex-champion says
another chance will see him again a
champion. But now Willie Hoppe must
be reckoned in the running i'm Champion

retired champion, Ora Morningstar, while
Cline was winning the title from DEM

Cline in the near future.
Since winning the pool championship
keogh has been popular man with
challengers. Charles Weston of Chica go.
known as the Cowboy" will have the
first chance at the new champion. His
challenge has been accepted and the
match will be played i'm either Buffalo or
Rochester next month. Hueston will chal-
lenge the winner and expects to have
back his title by next May.
