FACTS ON CARS
Will Check Up on Supply
on Various Northern
w. Va. Roads.

For the purpose of checking up to
see if the Fairmont region is getting
its full share OF cars the transporta-
ton committee of the Northern West
Virginia Coal Operators association
met this morning at 10 o'clock at the
rooms in the Jacobs building and out
lined plans.
Effort will be. made to ascertain
what percentage. of cars each railroad
is entitled to out of the eastern car
pool; the number each railroad actual
ly secures and how the B. & o. and
other railroads are distributing their
supply over their various divisions.
These figures will be cleaned espe-
cially from the B. & o., the Monon-
gahela railway, tn NJ. & K, Northern
West Virginia, Western Maryland and
the Coal and Coke.
For some time the car shortage has
played havoc here and the operators
VIII make a supreme effort to learn
the facts as they exist.
Those present at the meeting of the
transportation committee today were /:
Samuel D. Brady, chairman; George
b. Peddicord, c. D. Robinson, F. J.

UNION HOUSE LINEN
ROOM SCENE OF FIRE
Stubborn Blaze That for a
a Time Threatened to
Make Trouble.

The Central fire station received a
call at 1925 a. m. today to come to
the Union house in Madison street.
more commonly known as the Roush
house, where fire had started from
the bot water heater in the linen room
on the second floor oil the building.
The firemen had considerable trou-
bic in locating just where the fire
was. They rnaily traced the smoke
to its source and soon had the flames
under control. Damages to the build
ing were considerable, the linen room
being burned out and part of the ad-
Joining building being burned. Quite
a bit of linen was also destroyed in
Guiding large number of table cloths.
The firen1en returned to the fire sta
ton in about an hour after the call
was received.
A large crowd of people gathered in
front of the building shortly after the
alarm was sent in. People in the ad-
joining houses along Washington street
had begun to move their clothing and
furniture into the streets, fearing that
the fire would spread to the other
houses along that street.

Winfield District
School Board Meets

The Winfield District Board of Ed
ucation met yesterday at the Norwood
school house and threshed out the
various matters before them until 6
o'clock when they adjourned and held
another session this forenoon at the
office Of County Superintendent Tooth
man. The big question to be settled
was how to raise an increased amount
Of money from a reduced valuation
without making the levy seem burden
some and the building Of three rooms
to the Norwood school house. 1t was
decided to make the Norwood school
building four room building fully
equpped but at present only three
teachers will be provided unless the
creasipg population makes the use of
the fourth room necessary.
The light valuation of property in
Winfield district and increased pay
for teachers makes 1t necessary that
the district ask about eleven hundred
dollars aid of the state fund.
