Workers Dig In Grain
and Ashes for Safe

The Rosslyn Milling Company is con-
.sidering plans for the prompt rebuild
ing Of its West Falls Church mill struck
by lightning and burned to the ground
yesterday afternoon. Excavation is go
ing on today to recover the safe of the
company, buried beneath several thous-
and bushels of grain and ashes. The
books of the company were the only
property rescued: The men in the office
of the mill barely had time to seize
these and run.
The bolt which struck the mill ripped
great jagged hole in the side of the
roof and flames burst out at once,
spreading rapidly in spite of the heavy
rain which was coming down. The
damage was $4,000. and the insurance
is about one-third.
I The FIRE was witnessed by several
gathered at Crossman's Grove. nearby
for a joint picnic of the Sunday schools
of Alexandria, Fairfax. Falls Church,
Ballston, and Vienna. But the fire had
mo charm for this multitude caught
without shelter in a heavy and pro-
tracted rain. All were drenched to the
skin.
The lightning caused other trouble in
! the neighborhood. The telephone ex-
change at Falls Church was struck and
the operator stunned, but no fire took
place and the operator quickly recover
ed. A bolt struck the barn belonging to
j. T. Sewall in the Courthouse road.

Elections Committee Says
Title of Missourian to Seat
Is Invalid.

The liberality with which his father
contributed to his campaign fund may
cost Congressman Theron Catlin, Of the
Eleventh Missouri district, his seat in
the House following the action today Of
Elections Committee No. 2. which rec
ommends that Catlin's title to the seat
Is invalid.

Gill, who was the Democratic contest
ant, Mr. Catlin is a Republican and is
serving his first term.
In committee the vote In favor of the
unseating of Catlin stood to 3, the
Democrats voting for and the Repub-
licans against the report.
Mr.. Catlin had a majority of 1900
votes and, while II is said fraud and
corruption were not practiced to the ex-
tent of wiping out this majority, an
excessive amount Of money was spent
In the campaign, under the Missouri
plan,, and MIR. Catlin Is slated for the
recall.
Mr.. Catlin will lose out simply be-
cause his father caused to be expended
about $10.5O0 in "whooping things up
for Theron, and the Missouri law lin
tied Catlin's expenditures during this
campaign to pro rata OF $500
Young Mr.. Catlin spent less than this
small amount and II is understood he
was unaware of the manner in which
his father unloosed the purse strings
The family, 80 the story goes. wanted
to give Theron a send-off, and Papa
Catlin unwitungly violated the law in
doing 80.
II the House unseats Mr. Catlin on
these more or less technical grounds, a
special election may be held to fill the
vacancy

tempt to come back next session II
he is ousted from his seat now and all
campaign contributions will be care
fully inspected.
The engagement of Congressman Cat.
lin and Miss Laura Merriam, of this
city, was recently announced and the
wedding will be an important socia
event, regardless of whether Mr.. Cat
lin marries as a private citizen or ma
tional legislator
Mr. Catlin is one of the youngest
members of the House, and also one OF
the wealthiest. His father, Daniel Cat
lin. was known before his retirement as
the tobacco king of the West.
Patrick GIL, the contestant for the
Catlin seat is a former member OF tho

A BITTER AND PRoTRAcTED
STRUGGLE ON SEVERAL CUES
TIoNs is EXPECTED IN OHIO
BETWEEN CONSERVATIVES
AND RADICALS WHEN THEY
MEET TO FRAME NEW coNsTI-
TUITION.
BY Associated Press.


Columbus, o., Jan. 6.-The great
state of Ohio will begin on Tuesday
next the reconstruction of the consti-.
tuition. On that day a constitutional
convention, recognized by all factions
as preponderantly progressive" If not
radical win convene IN this city for a
struggle i'll which hotly debated ques-
tons of the initiative and referendum,
the recall of public officials, including
the judiciary, and the liquor question,
will overshadow all other proposals.
The fact that majority-perhaps
as large as 20 per eent-of the dele
gates chosen to this convention are
classed as .'progressives,' while the
more conservative element makes up
in determination what it may lack in
numbers, foreshadows a bitter and
pTotracted struggle. Whatever its
outcome. the people will have there
after their SAY" about 1t in the en-
suing general election. They rejected
the proposed constitution adopted in
1874.
Ohio is the first state east of the
Mississippi to attempt the revision OF
its organic law since direct legislation
and direct control of public officials by
the electorate came into vogue in sew
eral far western states. and the out
come in Ohio will be watched with
keenest interest by the people Of every
other state.
Analysis of the statements regard
ing the mental attitude of the dele
gates elected, discloses the fact that
all of the progressive are for the ini-
tiative and referendum and many of
them want provisions for the recall of
the judiciary. Practically every labor
delegate stands for the recall of judges
in their program, at the same time
supporting this idea for other officials.
Interviews with representative dele
gates throughout the state justifies
the statement that sentiment is more
concerned with the proposed modifica
ton of representative government
than with any other matter likely TO
come before the convention. They
prefer placing the liquor license ques
ton in a secondary position. The
initiative and referendum, they assert,
Is paramount to all issues.
When the 119 delegates to the con-
vention are called to order in the
house Of representatives at the state
capitol here, it will be the most nota !
BILE representative body of ali classes
of the people of this state of any
gathering in Ohio's history. Included
in the personnel of the convention viii
be one former congressman, one for
mer lieutenant governor, two menu
bers of the present legislature, many
former legislators, many former
judges. several ministers, large num-
Der of farmers and representatives
from commercial and industrial walks
Of life. The Democrats have the ma
jority with SIS delegates. The Repub-
1icans have 4s deleagtes. the Indc-
pendents and the Socialists 8.
Under the law providing for the
convention the oldest member present
will preside for the purpose Of tenn
porary organization. This honor will
fall to the lot of Judge Dwyer of Day.
