Southwest corner of Main Cross and
Franklin streets today. Whoops,
yells, shouts, the ringing of bells
and the discharge of numerous pis-
tolls aroused the entire community,
and the fire department hastened
to the place, ready to act with eff
ficiency, but its services we're not
needed.
But II was a close call for the
house and possibly for its inhabi-
tants. About the hour mentioned

cred the parlor full of smoke and
flames. Mr.. and Mrs Byington

sick child and we're dozing, although
they had not gone to bed. They
were hastily aroused, and then the
work of extinguishing the fire was
soon effected There is a hydrant in
the yard, and with water from this
source the house was saved. Two

Senator Watson, Of West Virginia,
FaVuTS Removal Of Tariff.

That he favors tariff that will
remove the duty from coal was the
significant statement made last
week by Senator Clarence Watson,
OF West Virginia, who is the real
head OF the biggest soft coal min
ing company in the world. a
By reason of his big business in
terests as well as because he has
Just been elected Senator from
West Virginia. Mr. watson's stand
on the tariff is Of unusual interest.
He made II clear that he proposes
TO stand with his party on this
question.
The charge that the Senate is
full Of incidental" protection Dem
ocrats has been frequently made,
West Virginia the State represented
by Mr., Watson, is one of the great
ooal-prcducing States of the union.
Mining and coal is Mr.. Watson's bus
mess In the campaign against him
II was alleged that because of these
facts II would be impossible for him
to represent Democratic ideas in
the Senate and that so far as the
tariff is concerned there was no
radical difference between him and
Senator Scott, his Republican col
league, who is one OF the most
consistent Of the stapdpat protec-
tionists in the Senate. No one can
imagine Senator Scott standing for
free coal, and Mr., Watson's state
ment will likley shock the balance
of the coal barons of the country,
Il am for free coal and will vote
for a b.ll that takes the tariff al
together off that product. This coal
schedule is the one specific sched-
ule about which believe am in
