FIRE AT HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING
Small Blaze Occurred and nuch Ex-
element Resulted.

The alarm of fire yesterday afternoon
about four O'Clock took the fire depart
ment on the run to the High School
building, where fire had communicated
to the floor in the Domestic Science
department from the gas range. burn
ing quite hole through the floor and
running beneath the floor communicated
to partition, the blaze following the
partition upward to the attic.
The students at the school had prac-
tically put the fire out when the depart
ment arrived, consequently little wurk
on the part of the fremen twas neces-
sary.
The students at the building, especi-
ally the young ladies, were very much
excited as a result of the blaze and
school was dismissed for the day.

HE PEOPLES FORUM.
hr. hickey Takes Exceptions to a
Publication, and Justly, TOO, the
Publisher Having Been Imposed
Unon.

To the Editor of The Republican:
Being regular subscriber to The
Republican, and considering you a per-
sonal friend, l regret very much to
note the item in the present weeks
issue of the paper grossly missrepre-
senting the present smallpox condition
here. The Keyser paper has copied
this item and it will no doubt be copied
bv other county papers in the surround
ing counties and our people feel very
much hurt that we should be placed in
this false light and suffer the depression
in business that is sure to follow this
report.
The fact of the matter is that our
public schools are open both on the
West Virginia and Maryland sides. and
the only requirement of the scholars is
a recent vaccination to allow them to
attend either school There was but
one case of smallpox on the West Vir-
gi mia side and that one case was releas-
ed and the quarantine raised today,
leaving US free from the disease on the
West Virginia side at this writing.
There are four cases on the Maryland
side, all under quarantine in two houses,
but four cases is a very bad comparison
as against the 80 cases reported in The
Republican.
There is no name signed to the item
in the paper and we infer that it was
written by some one with evil intent
against Gormania, and the business of
our little town, and being of this nature
| do think it would have been wise to
inv estigote the matter before publish
ing it.
Naturally we feel that we have been
unjustly placed in very injurious posi-
ton and our people resent the injustice.
Personally would ask you as a friend
not to print any more items so injurious
to our town, and so untrue as this one
is, as we most assuredly have. not done
anything to warrant such treatment.

man, to appear before the legislative
committee of the board OF aldermen
tonight and SO approve 1t.
The following resolution endorsing
Prof Willard c. Fisher, for the head
of the proposed office of secretary of

Be it resolved. In the event of Con-
gress creating the office of secretary
of labor, the New Haven Trades Coun-
ell by unanimous vote recommends to
the president of the United States for
such appointment, the Hon wizard

man whom the men of labor can
trust and Who we believe, will prove
an honest and conscientious counselor
to the President of the United States.
Resolved, That the time is oppor-
tune for the organized wage earners
of New Haven and the state to show
their sincere appreciation for his splen-
did service in the interests of human
fty, in his great work for social and
industrial justice, for his untirfng eff
forts to advance the cause of labor
and for the recognition of the proper
demand of the wOrkingnen to secure
remedial legislation, for his unselfish
devotion to advance human thought
upon, the problem of the workmen's
com pensation act, Of his fine sense of
honor in refusing remuneration from
the men of labor for services render
ed by him in his splendid endeavor
to secure the passage of this act in
the General Assembly of 1911, and of
his refusal 20 permit the introduction
of a resolution in the General Assem-
bly, for the state to pay him for his
services in assisting in the making of
the draft of the workmen's compensa-
ton act of 1911.
Resolved, That we recognize in Pro-
fessor Fisher a true friend Of the
working men and women of the state

in time of trouble, who by his SPLEEN
did and unse1fish devotion to the up
lift of the human family, is q wor thy
exponent of the brotherhood of man.

resolutions be forwarded to the Pres
dent-elect of the United States, the
Hon Woodrow Wilson; President

CLUB STANDS BY
PROF. w. C. FISHER
THE GET-TOGETHER, OF HART
FORD. DECLARES WESLEYAN'S
ACTION UNJUSTIFIED-WR
IMPRESSION GIVEN.


Hartford, Feb 2o-At the meeting
night, these resolutions were unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved, Whereas, certain re-
marks were made before the Hartford
Get Together club by Prof. Willard G..
Fisher of Wesleyan university were
reported by a Hartford newspaper in
preston of the general character and
spirit Of Prof. Fishers address, and
to call forth undeserved criticism,
stAnd Whereas, the authorities of
wesleyan university have made these
remarks the occasion of a demand
for the resignation of Prof. Fisher
Received, That the Hartford Get
Together club owes it to the public
and to Prof. Fisher to make the fol-
lowing statement:
First, That the club disapproves
of the form in which the report of
Prof. Fishers address was presented
to the reading public and deplores
the sensational prominence given to
one of it's minor parts.
Second, That 1T is the feeling of
the club that whatever be the truth
by Prof Fisher, his entire address
was so clearly the expression of a no.
Bile Christian spirit, that the detached
portion of it could not justly serve
as a warrant for such action as that
taken by the authorities of Wesleyan
university.
'Ih1rd, mat the CLUB wishes TO
express it's appreciation of the char
acter, ability and public spirit OF
Prof. Fisher and also to thank him
most heartily for the valuable ad-
dresses made by him before the club
at different times.
Fourth. That it is the earnest wish
of the club that the action taken by
Wesleyan university may not deprive
the state of Connecticut of one who
has 1abored with such intelligence
coura ge and unseIfsh devotion to the
5af% Of ifc
trial condition"
1t was voted to send a copy of the
resolutions to Prof. Fisher; the trus-
tees of Wesleyan university and the

DEMOCRATS FOR
FREE SUGAR BILL
BUT SOME IN OWN PARTY
WILL FIGHT.

Washington, Feb 21-Demooratic
members of the Ways and Means
Committee after considerable contro-
versy and the disclosure OF varying
opinions have finally decided to re-
port again in favor Of free sugar:
passing this legislation in the Senate
and. realize that they probably will
have to make some concessions in
that body.
In addition to the Louisiana Sena-
tors who wifi oppose free sugar it is
likely that one or both Colorado Sen
ators and one or both Nevada Sena-
tors WITH oppose it, while Senator Pom
creme or Ohio has recently declared IN
opposition to free sugar, and Senator
ShivefT OF Indiana is disposed to OPP
pose It.
It is likely that other Southern Sen
ators will join the Louisiana Senators
in opposition to free sugar The DEM
ocrat1c leaders in the House have esti-
mated that the loss, to the revenues
by repeating the sugar duty will be
approximately $50, OOO, 600 and this def
icit is expected to be met by the pro-
ceeds from the income tax. The con-
sumner is expected to benefit by a
reduction of the price of sugar about
one-ha1f.
In the consideration of the free eug-
ar legislation in the Ways and Means
Committee. it was disclosed that some
members favored a sliding scale of
duties gradually apprOximating free
sugar while others were opposed to dis
turbing the present duty at all. hold
ing that any lowering duty on fine
sugar is in the interest of the refin-
ers and not a benefit to the consurn-
ers.
Senator Lodge pointed out in the
last session when the free sugar bill
was under consideration in the Sem
ate, that no reduction in the price OF
sugar to the consumers followed the
passage of the free sugar legislation in
the Wilson-Gorman bill. 1t is expected
that the fight over sugar viii be one
of the most bitter in the coming spe-
cia1 session

ARTIFICIAL LIMBS.

The first Cork Leg was patented
in England 1o5 years ago to-day by
John Cork, who was the inventor of
the modern artificial leg, which has
replaced the stick or peg formerly
used by persons SO unfortunate as to
lose one of their lower limbs. Many
people believe that the term ttcork
leg" means that it is made of the
bark of the cork oak tree, but this is
erroneous, as a leg made of that ma
terial would quickly crumb1e. Elm
and willow are the woods most used
in the manufacture of artificial legs,
as being the Hghtest and strongest
materials available. The belief that
legs are made of cork is a tribute
to their inventor. Cork's legs made a
fortune for their first manufacturer
and for many of his successors, and
the artificial leg industry is now an
important one on both sides of the
Atlantic, with scores of big concerns
represented. At present there is no
l"cork Leg trust, but 1t is likely that
that oversight will soon be corrected
by some captain of industry.
