House About 100 Years Old Burned Up.

The Albert Davis family have re-
Gently moved into their new house
replacing the old home burned last
winter and on the same site near
Exsho. The old house was possibly
the oldest one in the county it hav-
ing been built right about a 100
years ago and the timbers were of
hewn logs pinned together and then
sided up with ceiling sawn by the
rip-saw plan and tongued aud groved
as were all dressed by hand. Albert's
father settled on the place after
someone else had built 1t and Albert
has lived there in his turn rearing
his family and having to add to it
but little to keep it comfortable as a
good home, but the fire came along
one night last winter and burned it
down thus ending its long career of
usefulness.

Mrs. Fry did not know the

she was positive the two officers

The men first were seen peek

Telling her maid, who had dis

in a call for the police. After

ariff On
Crude Oil
Defeated

Washington, July 1S.-The pro-
posed duty on crude and fuel oil
was struck out of the Fordney
tariff bill today by vote OF the
house.
The vote was 1877 for elimina-
ton of the duty to 79 against.
There will be another vote on the
oil schedule prior to final pass
age of the bill Thursday.
President Harding's letter Of
June 80 to Chairman Fordney of
the house ways and means COM
mittee, opposing imposition OF
duty on crude petroleum and fuel
oil and suggesting a bargaining
provision "to guard against the
levy of duties against us" was
presented to the house by Mr..
Fordney. The text differed con-
siderably from recently publish
ed versions of the communication
and in reply to questions Mr..
Fordney said there was another
letter from the president which
he did not propose to read.
The text of the presidents let
ter of June 80 follows:
81 understand that your com
mittee is very soon to decide
whether to include protective
duty on crude oil in the tariff bill
to be reported to the house. /
cannot refrain from expressing
the hope that your COMMITTEES will
take note Of the foreign policy TO
which we are already committed,
under which the government is
doing every consistent thing to
encourage the participation Of
American citizens in the develop
ment Of the oil resources in many
foreign lands."

POllc0 ana lire lines were
drawn tightly around the institu-
tion and detailed reports of the
outbreak were unavailable. 1t
was known, however, that peni-
tentiary guards reinforced by city
policemen and deputy sheriffs,
armed with rifles and shot guns,
were holding the prisoners at bay.
while heavy fire fighting force
was endeavoring 20 extinguish the
flames.
Riot Alarms Sounded.
Five riot alarms were turned In
to the police and fire departments
from the penitentiary at 1885
o'clock. First reports were that
the prisoners had revolted ano
fired the buildings which are To-
Gated on the Ohio river in the low
er part of the old city of Allie
gheny.
Nine fire companies immediate
ly responded to the alarms and
police reserves were hurried to the
penitentiary. Telephone commun-
ication with the institution was
temporarily cut off. Fire records
show that all the alarms were sent
from a fire box inside the peniten-
tiary.
Colonel c. A. Rook, a member OF
the board of the penitentiary
managers and publisher OF the
Dispatch, was notified
by telephone from the peniten-
tiary that a riot was in progress
and the buildings had been set
on fire.
A Gordon of police was quickly
thrown around every entrance of
the prison and fire lines were es-
tablished some distance away.
Great volumes of smoke rising
from the enclosure indicated that
the broom factory was rapidly be-
ing destroyed.
Sheriff w. s. Haddock answer
ed q call from the office of John
Francis with ten deputies armed
with riot guns.
Every available policeman was
sent by Robert Alderdice, director
of public safety, to reinforce the
men already on duty, while the
penitentiary guards were mobi-
lized within the walls.
The western penitentiary con-
tains between 1900 and 1900 pris-
oners, some OF them sent there by
federal courts and the remainder
from the western counties of
Pennsylvania.
A peep through one OF the pris-
on gates showed a party Of Pitts
burgh detectives with drawn re-
volvers facing a great crowd of
prisoners in the yard. The men
appeared to be in great terror
from the flames which ragged back
of them. So far as could be seen
none OF them was armed.
