The vacant tenement house burned vas

The loss is placed in the neighborhood

In several OF the barns.
According to Sheriff William r. Har-

drinking. The fires climaxed a number
of single fires of suspicious origin In
the same neighborhood the past few
years.
The large stonecrusher, boiler house
and other equipment of the Cumber-

Western Maryland Railway, above Ell

attributed to incsndiaries. The flames
were discovered by the night watch

PARTY GOVERNMENT
PROBLEM DISCUSSED
Future Influence of Prohibition, In
dustry and Agriculture Topic at
Institute of Craftsmanship.
BY the Associated Press.

WINTER PARK. Fla, March 3d.
Problems of prohibition. industry and
agriculture as they may influence fu-
ture party government in the United
States came in for a major portion Of
the discussion at today'S final session
of the Institute of Craftsmanship held
here this week under the auspices of
Rollins College.
The institute closed with a recapitu-
lation conference in which several col
lege presidents, professors from a dozen
large universities and editors of two
magazines gave their views as to ac-
complishments of the gathering.
One point, made by Prof. John Dick
jnson of Princeton, was that it had
been demonstrated in the institute that
there is in the South greater willing
ness. to carry on frank and new discus
sion of political needs of the country
than anywhere else in the United
States"
There are two principal forces which
are going to cause a number of eco
nomic Ills" asserted B. B. Kendrick of
the North Carolina College for Women.
We. are just about at the end
Of increase in real wages. Tendencies
will be down. Factories will produce
more than pay envelopes will buy. If
all factories were to run at full force
now they would produce from SO to 100
per cent more than they could sell.
Then there is the chain store, which
virtually is running the small merchant
out Of existence. This viii certainly
make for economic discontentment.
These and the farm problem are going
to cause some distress"

but in the school finals, Jerry loosed a
brand Of oratory, spontaneous as it was
fetching and as new to his own teach
ers as it was to the last member of the
audience to enter the hall, to win the
unanimous verdict of the judges.
Schultz is described by his teachers as
a sort of dreamer, talented in the arts
and withal popular with his classmates
by virtue of his skill in athletics, spe-
officially foot ball. He draws well, is
musician of accomplishment and
graceful dancer. Alongside these he
stacks experiences gained in world
travel. Against this background he rears

Good Friday holiday, typewriters rat

stenographers and clerks prepared copy
for the governors organ, which he is
mailing to all parts Of the State. It
contained further denunciations of his
political enemies and the Standard Oil
crowd" who. he charges, was re-
sponsible for the impeachment proceed
ing because he attempted to have an oil
tax enacted.
The governor resorted to his own
press because the daily newspapers Of
The State turned against him editcrially
and advocated impeachment. The Baton
Rouge State-Times demanded today the
addition Of two charges to the impeach-
ment resolution of 10 counts. One
charge, 1t said, should be based on the
governors Libel of members of the Leg
islature" by charging them with ac-
cepting brides from the Standard Oil
Co. and another on the executives al
legged use of State employees for his pri-
yate interests.
No indications were given in execu-
tive quarters that Gov. Long intended
producing the names of the members
he said had been bribed as requested
by O Senate resolution unanimously
adopted. Late yesterday Standard Oil
officials had made no reply to the gov
ernor's castigation. Both the governor
and Dan r. Weller. president of the
Standard Oil Co. of Louisiana. have
suites at the same hotel. The governor
keeps well indoors. but did consent TO
pose for photographers, who said he
