WASHINGTON. Dec. 1S..-Former

Letters" from the Standard Oil Of
fees and sold them to representa-
tive of William Randolph Hearst.

him newspaper clipping in which
w. A. Ultman, attorney for C. p.

with Hearst about the letters before
they we're published, and suggested
that Ultman, Mr.. Taft and John Gro

BETTER WATER system
State Fire Marshal lnaIlsh Says State
Has Been Peeny Wise and Pound
Foolish in This Respect.

Wallace Inglish, state fire marshal.
left here yesterday for Austin, firmly
convinced that the failure of the legis-
lature in the past to provide proper
water system for A. & M College has
been a penny wise and pound foolish
proposition that has been the cause of
loss to the state in buildings
| Mr.. Inglish has gone over the water
system proposition carefully and he
has provided himself with information
which he will submit to the governor
and the legislature as an argument
! for better fire protection at the col
llege. He believes larger water mains
are needed, more standpipe capacity
and hose and ladders.
Mr.. Inglish sat with the committee
of the faculty appointed by President
Miner last Monday to investigate the
fire. The committee Friday night took
a recess until next week when the
hearing will be resumed The inquiry
is in the nature of fire inquest and
is being conducted behind closed
doors, but Chairman D. W. Spence of
the committee stated that the evil
dence produced so far disposed abso-
lutely of the theory of defective wir-
ing, as the wiring in the building was
complete under the underwriters re.
quirements, and in addition the cur
rent from the light plant was off from
1870 p. M prior to the origin of the
fire at a. m. Chairman Spence also
states that no evidence of careless
ness has been presented to the com
mittee.
Outside the committee Fire Marshal
Inglish has been discussing with
chemists the probability of spontane-
Gus combustion from bat guano. 1t is
stated that it is known that bat guano
will, under certain conditions, burn. |
and that ashes from such burning has
been found in bat caves. Just how
far Mr. Inglsh has pursued this in.
vestigation is not known, but it is a |
known fact that thousands of bats
made their home in the hidden re-
cesses of the main building.
State Fire Marshal Inglish will re-
turn to the college next week and will
resume the hearing with the commit
tee of the faculty. The president of
the college has requested the commit I
tee to make the inquiry thorough.

ROCkDAlE BUSINESS MEN
WILL IMPROVE ROADS

When something needs to be done
get up and do it," is Rockdales motto
and our enterprising business people
are living up to that motto on the
subject of good roads just now.
Last week Mayor H. C. Meyer and
John Hicks started the ball to rolling
on a proposition to do some effective
road work. They interviewed the bust
ness people and soon had something
over $3.50 per month for a term of
months. This amount, added to fund
of several hundred dollars already in
a similar fund, assures us that some
good results will be seen.
The plan is to employ good man
with big team to grade and other
wise improve the roads. The work
will start where worst needed and
will continue until all the roads lead
ing into Rockdale are in good shape
A new road grader and other tools
necessary have been bought for this
particular purpose, and the work will
be done entirely independent of any
county or city work.
This is one Of the best moves Rock.
dale has yet made, and the Reporter
is proud to record the action. Work
will begin at once-Rockdale Re-
porter.
