Fire Companies Raise Rates.

The council Of the city of Newport
News and the chamber of commerce are
preparing to make an attack on the
Southeastern Tariff Association, because
OF an increase Of 10 per cent in the fire
risks in the seaport town. Some weeks
ago the council imposed a tax of ) per
cent on the premiums of the companies,
and the companies retalated by seeing
the raise and adding another per cent
to the rates for insurance. The attorney
for the commonwealth and the attorney
for the chamber of commerce at once be-

charging that the association, with which
all the fire companies in the city are
identified. has entered into conspiracy.
The case has found its way to the courts.

Democrats from Southwest Virginia. who
have been here since the announcement
that Henry c. Stuart. the nominee of the
party for Congress in that district, was
on his way home, say that they have
never witnessed such enthusiasm as is
being shown among the people of that
section. Mr.. Stuart has been away
from the country for the last three
months, due to the fact that Mrs Stu
art has been critically i'll for more
than year. She has so far recovered
that she is returning with Air. Stuart
and her mother. who has been in Eur
Ope for some months.
Since Mr.. Stuart has been abroad
the democrats of the district have been
steadily engaged in perfecting the Or
ganization. so that at this time there
is not a voter in the counties and the
city comprising the district who is not
on the books. The republicans have
not been idle, but there is no gainsay-
ing the fact that there is lack OF
interest in regard to Mr.. Slemp, who is
the sole aspirant for the honor against
Mr.. Stuart. The democrats have fig
ured the matter out finely, and declare
Mr.. stuart will be elected, though it
will take vast amount of hard work
to do it, and this the democrats are
prepared to do.
Mr. Stuart will get into the cam
paign just as soon as he can settle
Mrs. Stuart in their home in Russell
county, and he will be on the go night
and day from now until the election.
That district will be the solitary fight
in Virginia this fall. for in all the other
districts the democrats have plain sail

May Tighten Penalties.

Gov. Mann has not yet acted in the
case of the quartet Of Alexandria negroes
who are charged with the murder of
Walter Schultze of Chicago, more than
a year ago. Attorney Lewis H.. Machen,
who represents Calvin Johnson, one of
the quartet, has written the governor
that he. has discovered evidence that
establishes the innocence of all the MEN
except Henry Smith,. 1t was largely on
the evidence of Smith that the three
others-Calvin Johnson, Eugene Dorsey
and Richard Pines-were convicted and
sentenced to death in the electric chair.
The governor has gone over the record in
the case and has been impressed with the
language used by Judge Barley in SEN
fencing Smith to death. The judge de-
clared that Smith was confessed per-
jurer and an eS-cOnvict
The fact that Smith has made several
conflicting statements in connection with
the tendency to prove an alibi for the
others, has almost convinced the gov
ernor that the men should not die. Ger
tanly. three Of them have established
in the mind of the governor doubt of
their guilt. Smith is to die Friday of
next week and the others are respited
for a week longer, and there is good
reason for believing that all except Smith
will be given eighteen years in the peni-
Tertiary.

SOLVES LEADING PROBLEM
OF FOUNDERS CHAPTER

In the Woman's National Daily of
Julv q. the solution of the plan for
endowment of the Founders Chapter
of the American Woman's League is
fully set forth. Each full-paid mem
ber receives a $40 ten-year debenture
of the fund and may subscribe for as
large an additional amount of the de-
bentures as is desired. Non-members
may also subscribe any amount of the
debentures desired, payable in ten
equal monthly payments. During the
ten years life of the debentures those
holding them receive interest and
share in the profits of the united as
sets. real estate and stockholdings OF
the fund. At maturity the debentures
are payable in full, and after public
appraisal of the entire estate ana
property of the fund, it is to be cap
italized at its then value, into a hold
ing corporation, one half of its cap
ital stock becoming the permanent
endowment of the Founders Chapter,
the other half being all subscribed to
the debentures in proportion to the
amount of their debenture holdings.
The element of a reasonable time
seems alone required to insure a vast
endowment for the Founders Chap
ter. The united assets represent an
estate Of approximately nine million
dollars, against which stands a total
of less than 40 per cent.

How smytfe Was Hurt.

P. ]. Lynde, foreman for Dan p.
Smythe, returned to the city on the
Northern Pacific train this morning
and to the East Oregonian told of the
accident in which his employer was
almost killed.
According to Mr.. Lynde, the acci-
dent happened shortly after o'clock
Thursday morning. At the time the
train was just beyond Stampede sta
tion, which is just the other side of
the summit of the Cascades. Going
down grade the sheep become forced
to the forward end of the cars and
they have to be stirred up OCCASION
ally to keep them properly scattered.
According to Lynde, he had just been
through the cars while Smythe was
asleep and found all we'll. Upon
awakening, Smythe inquired concern
ing the sheep and at the next stop
went forward to investigate their con-
dition. He was accompanied by Lynde
and a cattleman who was shipping
some cattle. Just as they reached the
sheep the train started forward.
Lynde urged his employer to hurry
back with him to the caboose, but
Smythe said he would catch one of
the stock cars. Lynde and the cattle
man then left him and caught the ca
boose. Upon entering the caboose
the foreman mounted to the cupola

EXTEND "PIN" ROAD
TO MEADOWS, IDAHO

Weiser. Idaho.-The contract for
the 16 mile extension of the Pacific
& Idaho Northern railroad from Ev-
ergreen to Meadows has been let to
Nancy Brothers & Co., of Ogden.
Members of the firm are in the city
arranging for the purchasing OF hay
and other supplies for their camps
and the large outfits they will work.
They have a large outfit at Nyssa,
where they have just completed
large irrigation project for the
Trowbridge & Niver company. The
outfit will be shipped to this city Sat-
urday and taken TO Evergreen where
work will be commenced immediate-
ly.
The contractors are experienced
railroad contractors. They built 800
miles of the Western Pacific railroad
from Denver west through Salt Lake
city The grade work is to be COM
pleted to Meadows by November 1.
Thousands of ties are being taken out
along the line of the railroad and the
steel has been ordered for immediate
shipment.
1t was found impossible to run the
extension to the present site of Mea-
dows and a new townsite is being laid
out about two miles from the present
location. The townspeople have
agreed to cooperate with the railroad
in making the new Meadows a bigger
and better town in every way than
the old.

INTRICATE AND FAR-REACHING
is THE SCIENCE OF FLAGS

London.-If there had been any
doubt that King George has inherited
in a great degree, the tact which was
the dominant feature in the character
Of his father, the manner in which
he has put an end to the curious and
disagreeable situation caused by the
fact that Queen Alexandra insisted on
displaying the royal standard at Buck
ingham palace, would dispel it.
Flags, to his majesty's mind, con-
stitute an almost sacred mode of hu-
man communication. They indicate
not only the history of the past, but
they can be so arranged as to signal
present needs and distresses, to con-
vey orders. and indicate dignities-
in fact. the science of flags is intri-
cate and far-reaching to degree lit
tie guessed by ordinary man. And it
is a science, King George, as a pro-
fessional sailor and an enthusiastic
amateur herald, has most thoroughly
mastered
1t positively distresses him to see
the royal standard still flying over
his widowed mothers residence. There

Britain. and therefore, there can only
be one dwelling place distinguished
by his personal flag. Just now the
kings court is at Marlborough house.
Il is contrary to the whole signifi-
cation of flags that two standards
should be displayed-the one at Marl-
borough House. and the other at
Buckingham Palace.
It is a well-worn axiom that the
gentler a woman's nature the more
persistent she can be. Queen Alex
andra had given definite orders that
the royal standard should continue to
fly over the roof that sheltered her.
II vain her son represented that 1t
was a meaningless symbol under the
changed conditions. And when argu-
ments failed, equally in vain did he
use his influence, trying the boyish
coaxing ways that are often so ire
sistible when brought to bear upon a
mother Queen Alexandra-backed
up, it is said, by her sister the EN-
press Maria of Russia-was as ada
mant.
King George hit upon the only pos
sible way out of the impasse. He pro-
vided the queen mothers flag. This
new standard is his own design. 1t

none but her 1t indicates her Danish

her majesty. 1t cannot be but that

gering by the track. y moment la
ter he was lost to sight and he was
from the track. In view of Lynde the
injured man stumbled over a loose
rail that was lying beside the track
and in some way struck against the
train. He may have been hit several
times before his arm was run over.
The train was at once stopped and
Smythe was picked up, terribly man
gled and bleeding. 1t was first
thought he had been killed, but he
regained consciousness in about 20
minutes. He suffered great pain and

and wanted to feel of it, saying he
thought it had been broken. However
Lynle prevented him from doing so.

was reached about 80 minutes after
the accident, the injured man was
operated upon. According to Lynde
he had three cuts on his head, one
on top Of the head, one on the check

left arm was amputated at the shoul-

GOtch After Johnson.

New York.-Frank Gotch. the
worlds champion wrestler, may turn
prize fighter. Gotch believes that ne
has the stuff in him to beat Jack
Johnson and he certainly doesn't lack
confidence. Gotch is not anxious to
take up the fight game and plug
along at it, because the game dosn't
offer many possibilities these days.
However, he will be content If he can
meet the negro champion within the
ring inside of a year.
Gotch is one of the many who have
challenged Johnson. "Tom" Sharkey
believes that he can come back
sufficiently to wallop the negro.
Tommy Burns has half promise from
Johnson for a fight in London in
about a year. Al Kaufman, the vil-
lage blacksmith, stands a likely
chance of getting a whack at the big
heavyweight first. There has been
some talk in the east of matching
