WATCH OPPOSITION
TO CANAL PROJECT

There was considerable smiling to-
day at the United States Engineer or
flee. Sixth and King streets. over pub
lished reports that preparations are
well underway TO remove the lock at
st. Georges from the Chesapeake ED
Delaware Canal. While tentative
plans for ultimate removal OF the lock
have been made, actual preparations
for the work itself is regarded as
many months distant.
Feeling also was expressed at the
Engineer Office that too much conf
dence should not be placed in expec-
tations that Congress viii grant the
appropriations asked for TO develop
the waterway. It Is known that much
influence Is being brought to bear in
congress to give the New Jersey Shin
Canal project precedence over the
chesapeake and Delaware. and much
hard work will be required by the
Delaware and Maryland delegations in
tne House and Senate TO protect the
claims Of the latter waterway.

v. VA. CAPITOL
BURNS, TWODEAD
Walls Fall During Effort to
Save Valued Records
Through Windows
FLAMES START
IN RECORD ROOM

CHARLESTON. w Va, Jan. 4-The
capitol Of the state Of West Virginia
and priceless records Of the State De-
partments, were destroyed yesterday
afternoon by fire OF mysterious orr
gin. only The brick shell remains OF
the once stately building.
Two men were killed and three men
were injured
The property loss can only be csti-
mated. The building was insured for
S6,OO0O00 Governor COrnwell said the
insurance did not nearly cover the
loss.
Flames started in the small record
room over the office OF the secretary
of the Public Service Commission.
The two men killed when a section
OF the roof fell in were Edward Spen-
Ger, an electrician, and Howard
Pauley, a fireman. Fire Chief w. w.
Graham, Policeman William Lacey
and Oscar Thaxton, a fireman, were
injured. Chief Of Police John Char
book had a narrow escape when the
roof fell lie and others had Just
started down a ladder from the tax
commissioners office, where they had
been pitching records out OF the
windows. There came a crack, a roar,
a cloud OF smoke and dust and then
part OF the roof fell.
Firemen think another man was
buried in the debris. Reports said
he was Charles Walker. Of Hunting
don.
The fire started about 2.3O O'Clock
on the fourth floor, which was seldom
used, except for thf storing Of records
and stationery Commissioners and
the secretary OF the Public Servict
Commission gave The alarm. By the
time the department had water on the
fire the fight was hopeless. Il. f.
Winters, chief railroad inspector OF
the commission, narrowly escaped be-
ing buried alive. He played stream
Of water on the blaze from a small
hose and remained at his post until
his face was scorched He escaped by
a back stairway which was in flames.
One OF the great losses was the mu-
scum OF the State Department OF Agri-
culture, which cannot be equaled In
any agricultural department OF the
country. The old clock in the tower,
whose weights weighed many tons,
was wrecked.
William Biggs, prisoner at the West
Virginia penitentiary at MondsVille,
three weeks ago predicted that the
West Virginia stale capitol would be
destroyed either by fire or a bomb ex-
plOsiOn. according TO prominent
Charleston attorney who refused TO
he quoted He did not predict the
date. Authorities are working on the
case to determine the origin Of the
fire.
