FEED sToREHoUsE AFIRE.
Structure on South Patrick Street,
Badly Damaged Last Night.

The alarm Of fire about half-past
ten o'clock last night was caused by
the discovery Of blaze in building
used for the storage Of feed by J.
F. Burroughs Son, on the east side
of Patrick street, near Franklin,
just outside the corporate limits.
The fire department, which was
soon on hand and at work, managed
to keep the fire from spreading and
confined it closely, hence most Of the
damage which resulted was within
the structure. The contents were
virtually destroyed. The members
of the fire department remained upon
the scene about an hour
Several years ago a disastrous fire
occurred at the same place which
wiped out several buildings used by
the late r. F. Burroughs & Sons.
The firm subsequently removed their
business to the Strand, between King
and Prince streets.

HIS INVESTIGATION.
Learns Richmond House Offering to
Do Work is Employed by Firms
Who Want the Contract.

Richmond, June 4.-Superintend-
ent R. c.. Stearnes, chairman of the
school book investigation committee
of the State Board Of Education, has
obtained what he believes to be ev-
idence that will utterly disprove the
! publishers arguments against the
State Printing books. Mr.. Stearnes
has secured bids for printing books
from rented plates from the Rich
mond firm, which at present prints
thousands of school books annually
for four of the largest publishing
houses in the United States. Ac-
cording to the contract offered by
this printer, school books can be
furnished to the pupils at one-thin
less than current prices in Virginia.
At the recent hearing granted the
publishers by the State Board of Ed
ucation seven of the largest pub
fishers in the country gave their
reasons for declining to rent book
plates to Virginia for the printing of
textbooks by private printer. Seven
other publishing house have offered
to rent plates to the board, but the
seven who declined are the publish
ers of many books desired by the
l..o.,l ro,, TirSri,,io
One after another, at the hearing.
the seven publishers arose, and ridi-
culed the printing Of textbooks by
the State en- the grounds that the
rcrI: 1andll b2 of aTaSt!y inferior
nature.
In view Of the great stress laid on
this point by the publishers, Mr..
Stcarnes instigated quiet investi-
cation of where the books published
by these seven houses were printed.
To his establishment, he discovered
that lou. Of these seven houses have
their books printed and bound by
the same Pichmond concern which
has oIfereL TO make books for the
board from the rented plates.
IF this Richmond publisher does
good enough work for the publish
irg houses" said Mr.. stearnes, II
see no reason why he should not pro-
duce finished books for the State
Po&rd IF Education. He will be US
ing tie same book plates that he
uses now"
Tie special committees of the
board are proceeding steadily with
tic plans TO rent book plates and
prirt the textbooks for the Virginia
public schools by contract with a
private printer.

MAY REVERSE POLICY.
Mediators at Niagara Falls Still
Awaiting Carranza's Reply-Out-
come is Uncertain.

Washington. June General Car
rama and the constitutionalists Of
northern Mexico are seriously con-
sidering entering upon the media
tion plans of the A. B. C. powers.
General Carranza, first chief Of
the constitutiona!ist forces, realizes
the seriousness of the situation and
the Importance of his next move
with respect to mediation. Conse-
quently he will probably take seve-
raj days in consideration before max
ing what will be his final decision.
This statement was made today by
the constitutionalist junta here.
Well authenticated reports that
the long expected split between Car
rama and Villa has materialiZed in
the appointment of General Nadero
to succeed Villa in supreme COM
mand are vehemently denied by the
iunta.
Niagara Falls, Ontario, June a.
the United States would
be led to reverse its policy regarding
the constitutionalists, should they re-
fuse to participate in the Niagara
peace parleys, and find means OF
forcing General Carranza to recog-
nize a strong provisional govern
merit which might be decided upon,
was one Of the questions growing out
of the situation presented here to-
day.
The eonstitutionalists may now
make or mar prospects Of peace IN
Mexico. They must still agree to
tho declaration of an armistice and
to the discussion of internal prob,
lens, but the way is open for them
to enter the conf ference. A reply
to the last communication sent to
the constitutionalists is anxlously
awaited today.
