Henry c. Stuart addressed the voters
Of Rockingham here today in behalf
of KeezeIl and Rolston, candidates for

for landing the Normal school in
H~arrisonburg and praised his work
in the constitutional convention when
he was on the finance committee with
him.
stuart predicted tai reforms with a
new assessment possibly under a diff
ferent method. He declared that in
the national field the Republican pros
poets OF disaster under a Democratic

exploded. He admitted that a strong
opposition party naturally makes for
a healthful condition. but that such is
impossible at present In Virginia He

After hearing remarks by Chief
Joynes, OF the fire department; Su~
p~erintendent Davis, OF the water de-
partment. and Superintendent Traf-
ford. of the department OF electricity,
the subcommittee on fire hazard last
night adjourned to meet at the call Of
Chairman Mills.
Both Chief Joynes and Suptertnten-
dent Davis stated that they were sat
isied that the water supply for the
city was sufficient to answer all pur-
poses of the city for many years TO
come: Superintendent Trafford agreed
with the other two, but supplemented
his remarks by advising hat there

five or ten years when II would be
necessary to augment the present con

for supplying the water.
Troubles at Fires.
chief JoSnes stated that he had
found trouble on a number Of ocea-
sions In getting a sufficient supply Of
water to handle "a fire. He attributed
1t to the lack Of pipe facilities, and
had found that within the past year
or two. since Superintendent Davis
had Instituted "a system OF having
some one from his office go to the
fires. 50 that the water situation might

considerably. He exhibited n box OF
particles of maased clay and other
refuse which he had collected from
a plug.
This Illustrated a point he made
that many of the old pipes in old
sections Of the city had become con
gested. by years Of use, with accurnu-
lated clay and mud. and that those
pipes needed cleaning.
Chief Jeynes said that probably for
high pressure service water towers
might help relieve any emergency
situation. He illustrated this remark
by referring to the demonstrations
given In Philadelphia last week dur
ing the fire prevention convention.
In reply to "a question by Chair
man Mills, Chief Joynes said the
number OF gallons a minute used by
an engine averaged 700.
The city needs about sixty more fire

NORFOLK, VA, Oct. 2o.-Shipping
along the Virginia coast and in Hamp-
ton Roads, suffered severely today
from a fif%ty-rnile southwest gale, and
there are grave fears that there will
come reports of serious damage OF the
outside.
With almost twenty-four hours
warning of the approaching storm
scores OF vessels sought shelter in
Hampton Roads today. Some had
started to sea, but were driven back.
The wind WAS SO in Hamp-
ton Roads hat three ships Were in
collision when trying to make a land
ing at the Virginia Railway and Nor
folk and Western piers. The Nor
wegian steamer T~ordeskjold collided
with a barge AT Lambert's Point. The
barge had a hole stove in her star
board bow. and the steamer had sew
eral plates denied.
British Steamers Collide.
The British L~ucregen and
Storton came together when trying TO
dock at Sewalls Point. The captains
lost control of the vessels in the gale.
Both were damaged SO badly that they
will have to go into dry dock.
Government harges numbers s and
eos, loaded with ammunition. were
torn away from the big naval tug
Massassoit, during the height OF the
storm, and ran wild for nearly an hour
off Bush Bluff Lightship. Number 8
was driven ashore. and sank before
a tug could reach her. h carried
ammunition valued at $52, 600, which
will probably prove a total loss.
| Number eos was picked up by another
tug before she stranded. and was
towed to the navy yard.
The Massassoit got a hawser en-
tangled In her propeller. and was
rendered helpless. The ammunition
