C0L0RED STATE NORMAL
BUILDING BURNS DOWN
Fire in Jericho Park School Laid
to Gas Combustion in Use
of Soft Coal.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

BOWIE. Nd, October 21-The COL
ored state normal school at Jericho
Park, little more than mile north
OF this place. on the PENNSYLVANIA
railroad. was destroyed by fire late
yesterday afternoon. 1t is thought
the fire originated in the furnace
room. the probable cause being COM
bust1on of gases from the use of soft
coal.
The building, which was three stories
and basement. constructed of brick,
was built in 1911 by the state Col
w. S. Powell. of the Elicott CITY
Times being chairman of the commit
tee in charge of its construction.
The cost of the building was in the
neighborhood of $4,000. At the time
the fire started there We're no classes
in session, but about twenty students
were in the apartment on the third
floor used as a dormitory and recita-
ton room These all escaped, but lost
all their wearing apparel and per-
sonal effects.
Prof. Goodlow estimates that it will
cost about $4,000 to replace the
building.

TEXAS DEMOCRATS
FEAR VOTE THEFT
Wandering to G. O. P. Senate
Candidate Likened to
Franchise Steal.
Special DISPATCH to The Star.

AUSTIN, Tex, October 21.-Des-
perate efforts are being made by the
regular organization of the demo-
cratic party Of Texas to rally sup
port to Earle B. Mayfield. who was
in the recent primaries. Because
there is a possibility Of his name
being left OF the official ballot, leav-
ing the race an even break between
him and his opponent. George E. b.
Peddy, Frank c. Davis, chairman of
the state democratic executive COM
mittee, has issued a demand on all
who took part in the democratic pri-
! maries to give their support to MIR.
Mayheld in the general election.
The big detection Of anti-Ku Klux
democrats to the support of the
fusion candidate. Mr.. Peddy, has
caused much alarm to the so-called
collar democrats: 1t is regarded as
virtually assured that litigation over
the printing of the names of May
field and Peddy on the ballots Will
not be settled before the election.
Mr.. Davis. after reviewing the pri-
mary result. says:
Says Vote Is Pledge.
I'm both the written and unwritten
law of our party and the written and
unwritten law of our state, when an
individual holding himself out to be-
democrat affiliates with and votes
with his fellow democrats in the
party primary contest, he at least
pledges his honor. pawns his in
tegrity, plights his good faith and
self-respect to abide by and be gov
only to vote for the nominee. but to
do every honorable act calculated to
aid and assure his election.
THE supreme court Of our state has
spoken on this question not only as
to it's legal aspect. but also on the
substance, has said such a party OBJ
legation is binding in conscience and
according to natural justice. In one
case the court declares such an in
dividual is not only morally but
legally bound by the result of the
primary election because of his par
ticipating therein.

And further. the chairman of the
state democratic executive committee
is directed to call to the attention of
every democratic nominee in this
state from constable to governor the
language of the supreme court as to

every honorable way to prevent the

would violate their party obligation.

Union station is much more than just
a railroad terminal.
In the Union station there is some
thing to be found which you seldom
see in any other part OF the world.
and that Is the private entrance with
suite set apart for the use of the head
Of the nation. This is also used a. q
reception hall for visiting dignitaries

Many Washingtonians have pointed
with pride to the beautiful structure
that we call the Union station. Many
more will do so IL they take the
trouble some day to study its beauties
and advantages.
If the reader has\not as yet had his
yearning for figures satisfied. let us

space.
In order properly to handle the vast
throngs that come in every few min
utes to the station, it is necessary
that all the latest improved safety
devices be employed in the yards out
side the station proper. We find that
this safety system is operated through
the medium of three interlocking
towers and that the total number Of
levers and machines at these three
towers is 800.

Doubtless Miss Weeden's fame will
rest chiefly upon her work as an

her success in the painting Of negro

had known and studied the antebel-

~ when the air is free from rain or
snow. Take a bright. clean handsaw,
or any other polished metal object
about two feet in length and having
a straight edge. Hold the saw or
metallic surface at right angles to the
direction of the wind. Incline It
about thirty-fve or forty degrees to
the horizon and with the back up. SO
that the moving air. in striking the
surface, will glance upward and now
over the edge of the metal, az water
flows over a dam. Sight carefully
along the edge Of the metal, at
sharply defined object. and you Will
see the wind or air waves pouring
over the edge In graceful curves.
