and the insurance amounts to $4.r>r»,000, of
which $120,000 is on the building. The
authorities are investigating the cause of
the fire, which is thought to have been
caused by a can of varnish taking fire
in the furniture room during the time the
workmen were absent at lunch. There is
much criticism of the fire department,
which, it is alleged, was handicapped! by
lack of water. The building was 1 years

Texarkana Case Is Now on Trial and
Promises to Be Contested.
Special Telegram' to The Express.
TEXARKANA. Tex.. April 5.—In the
Bowie County District Court today the
case <>f the City of Texarkana. Tex., vs.
the Southwestern Telegraph and Tele-
phone Company was called and will
probably occupy the court for a large
part of the week.
This suit was entered by the City of
Texarkana for the purpose of ousting the
telephone company from the streets of
the city and putting an end Ho the
Southwestern'^ operations in the munici-
pality. The city claims that the com-
pany is operating without a charter, and
as a renewal was refused by the city re-
cently because of a non-compliance by
the company with certain demands made
by the city authorities, the city holds
that the company has no legal status in
the municipal corporation.
In order to prevent the company from
extending its lines, an ordinance was
passed by the City Council requiring a
permit before t lie streets could in any
way be molested, and as no permits
would be granted to the Southwestern,
ite extensions had to be abandoned. Re-
cently. when the company's lines were
badly damaged as a result of the de-
structive fire in this city, an injunction
against the city had to be secured before
the work of repairing the damaged con-
nections could be taken up. Both sides
have expressed a determination to fight
to the bitter end. and the ease will likely
be taken to the Supreme Court for final
adjudication.
WARM PASSAGE
ON CONFERENCE AT
THE WHITE HOUSE
Dolliver Announces Feeling by
Charge of Senators Conferring
With Railroad Presidents.
NAMES DEMANDED
BUT ARE REFUSED
WASHINGTON, April 5.—In tlie Senate
today there was a re-echo of the White
House conference of last Saturday re-
lative to the pending railroad rate legis-
lation, and while the discussion ended
in *?ood nature, there was a time when
the feeling was quite intense. The in-
cident occurred at ihe close of a speech
by Mr. Stone, which was devoted large-
ly to a discussion of that conference.
Mr. Dolliver took the floor, and in a
brief speech devoted to a defense of the
right of Senators to confer with the Pres-
ident, charged that other Senators had
been in consultation witli the presidents
of railroads.
The intimation contained in the charge
was resented by both Mr. Bailey and Mr.
Foraker, and they demanded the names
of tlie Senators referred to. These Mr.
Dolliver declined to give, but he justi-
fied his course in making the charge by
saying that he and other Senators who
had participated in the conference had
been sneered at and ridiculed in the dis-
cussion of last Tuesday. This brought
an explanation from Mr. Foraker and
the incident ended pleasantly.
Elkins and Bailey
Will Speak Tuesday.
Mr. Elkins has given notice of a speech
on the rate bill for tomorrow, and Mr.
Bailey of a speech on next Tuesday. The
Texas Senator will reply especially to the
criticisms made by Messrs. Spooner and
Knox of his plan for a limitation of the
powers of Superior Courts in granting in-
junctions in rate legislation.
A bill authorizing- the Tyronsa Railroad
Company to construct a bridge acrosrf
Little River, in Poincette, Ark., was
passed.
The rate bill was then taken up and
Mr. Newlands continued his argument
in support of his proposition for the Na-
tional incorporation of railroad com-
panies.. Whe,i Mr. Newlands concluded
Mr, Stone took the floor in support of
the rate bill.
When Mr. Storie ceased speaking Mr
Dolliver took the floor and commented
on the criticisms of the President, saying
that he was not one of those who have
felt irritated over the President's interest
in the pending legislation.
Reasons Why President
Should Not Interfere.
Mr. Bailey responded, saying the pres-
ent situation presented, peculiar reasons
why the President shcnild not interfere
with legislation. He expressed the opin-
ion that not a third of the Republican
Senators agreed with the chief executive.
Mr. Aldrich arose, and, as he did so
Mr. Bailey expressed the hope that lie
would be able to include himself as in
the one-third. "So far as 1 know there
is no Republican me-.-.'oer of the Senate
who does not sympathize with the efforts
of the President and others to secure
proper legislation," said the Rhode Island
Senator, but he added that there were
many who did not sympathize with the
of tort to limit and circumscribe the pro-
posed law so as to effectively prevent an
appeal to the courts.
Mr. Bailey then turned his attention to
an assertion made by Mr. Dolliver that
.some Senators had been conferring with
railroad officials on the subject of rail-
road legislation.
Wanted to
Know the Names.
"We want to know who has been con-
ferring with the railroad presidents," he
said. "Not the Senate only, but the
country at large is interested and has a
right to this information."
Mr. Foraker endorsed the statement bv
Mr. Bailey.
"I shall take the liberty of not. pursu-
ing that course," said Mr. Dolliver, de-
liberately rising from his seat.
"The 'Senate has a right to know," Mr.
Foraker insisted.
Mr. Dolliver then said that he had
never dreamed of committing any im-
propriety in his statement.
Mr. Foraker said he had known of no
conference with railroad men on the
pending bill.
"It will not answer to say that there
were, no improper motives in the insinu-
ation," he went on.
Mr. Dolliver again disclaimed any in-
tention to impute improper motives to
Mr. Foraker or other Senators, saying
he would probably not have raised the
point if his visit to the White House
with other Senators had not been made
the subject of jest, sneers and satire.
All Are Friends
of Rate Legislation.
Mr. Aldrich again took the floor to re-
iterate his position with reference to the
pending legislation.
"I desire." he said, with some earnest-
ness, "to enter a protest against the as-
sumption that any Senator here is the
only friend of railroad rate legislation.
No one here had any patent which would
justify him in assuming to speak in that
capacity. 1 know of no one lure who is
opposed to proper legislation, and there
can be no proper classification of some
as friends and others as enemies.
This was the end of the serious part of
the controversy.
Mr. Foraker replied in a similar man-
ner to Mr. Doiliver's complaint relative
to the debate on Tuesday, saying for the
most part it: had consisted of good-
natured raillery, directed at the senior
Senator from Iowa, Mr. Allison.
The Senate at 4 p. m. went into execu-
tive session and at 4:12 adjourned.

OIL OPERATOR
DIES IN HOUSTON
OF BLOOD POISON
William Thomas Campbell, One
of Texas' Most Successful Men,
Had Interesting Career.
'FUNERAL TO BE HELD
IN LAMPASAS TODAY
Special Telegram to The Express.
HOUSTON, Tex., April 0.—Wm. Thomas
Campbell, one of the largest oil operat-
ors in Texas, died in Houston at noon to-
day of blood poisoning. The body was
shipped over the Santa Fe tonight to
Lampasas, and there the funeral will be
held tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock.
Two weeks ago Mr. Campbell was
taken sick, but his case was not regard-
ed as dangerous. Tuesday night a change
for the worse occurred, and Thursday at
I2:0."» o'clock, at the home of William M.
Abbey, his son-in-law, .109 Travis Street,
the end came. William T. Campbell was
but 47 years of age, and thirty-one years
of that life were spent in Texas.
About five months ago Mr. Campbell
received the original injuries which
caused his death. Compelled to ride long
distances over country roads, he repeat-
edly chaffed and scratched his legs,
producing abrasions which he regarded
as nothing serious, and accordingly paid
no attention to them. But after a while
the scratches developed into erysipelas
and lie was considerably worried by the
skin disease for several weeks. It was
not regarded as dangerous, however, and
no fears were entertained of the outcome
of t Tie case.
Meanwhile, Governor Hogg died, and
Mr. Campbell, his business associate and
intimate friend, made the trip to Austin
with the remains and attended the
funeral there. It was after his return
from the funeral that he began to be
worried with the disease which affected
him. It developer! more and more, until
about ten days ago blood poisoning was
indicated.
Has Had a
Successful Career.
William Thomas Campbell was born in
London, England, in 18.VJ. was educated
at Rugby, and while but 16 years of age,
landed at the port of Galveston. His
career as a Texan began then, and from
the days of his early youth to the days
of his last illness it was distinguished by
renmrkabh success. He had a gc.p'us 'fir*
business such as is possessed by only
those "born to it" and in every enter-
prise in which his talents wen engaged
that remarkable business ability was dis-
played.
After landing in Galveston he went to
Sherman, and that city became his first
Texas home. Later he removed to Wax-
ahachi* and then to Marienteld, engag-
ing in the. newspaper business. He then
transferred his home to Ohio, and the
short residence in that State was the.
only period of his thirty-one years in
American that were not spent on Texas
soil.
When he returned from Ohio be estab-
lished his home at I^ampasas, and ever
since then he has regarded that place as
his home town. He moved there in 1888
and in that year established the Lam-
pasas Leader, a newspaper which has
continued to this day. He later engaged
in the banking and real estate business.
When the discovery of oil at Spindle-
top was made. Mr. Campbell was con-
ducting, in addition to his other enter-
prises, a wholesale grain and hay busi-
ness in Houston, though he continued to
live in Lampasas. When the great find
was made and the oil fever struck Texas.
Mr. Campbell immediately became one of
the most prominent operators. He was
a member of the Hogg-Swayne syndi-
cate, and also operated as an individual
capitalist. When he died he was a large
stockholder in the Texas Company, the
Landslide Oil Company, and held other
large interests in the oil industry.

NAGOLD, Little Black Forest, Ger-
Many, April 5.—The Hotel Zum Hirsch
fell today during the progress of a fes-
tive dinner. There were 200 persons
present, most of whom were buried in
the ruins.
At 10 o'clock tonight fifty-five bodies
had been recovered and 100 injured were
taken from the ruins, many in a serious
condition. Twenty persons are still
missing and probably are dead.
The accident is attributed to careless-
ness on the part of those who were mak-
ing repairs on the building, which had
been raiserl five feet from the ground
to give more space for tho lower story.
The work began early this morning and
was supposed to have been finished at
noon. The keeper of the hotel invited
the workmen and a large number of tho
townspeople to a grand dinner. The com-
pany assembled in the middle banquet
room and was drinking the health of
the builder and landlord, wiicn suddenly
a crash was heard above.
A score of those in the banquet room
jumped from the windows and doors in
time to escape, when the house came
down with a crash.
The scene tonight presents an inde-
scribable picture of horror and grief.
There is hardly a family but has lost
one or more members. The villagers and
people of the surrounding country are
inquiring for their relatives.
The dead are laid out in the town hall
adjacent to the scene of the disaster.
The work of rescue is still proceeding,
but the full losses will not be known
until tomorrow.
Outlook Is That He Will Appiove
of It and His Influence May
Secure Its Passage.

did an industrial business among the
negroes only. H. Sheffield, who was the
president of the Southern, becomes the
secretary of the American and has re-
moved his headquarters to Galveston

WASHINGTON, April 5. — Presidtnt
Roosevelt thinks Senator Bailey's plan
to prohibit the granting of temporary in-
junctions in rate cases is excellent and
is willing to giv« the weight of his sup-
port to the amendment in which that
plan is outlined.
The President is also of the opinion
that Senator Bailey's amendment provid-
ing for the protection of the legisla-
tional rights of the carriers, by stipulat-
ing that, courts in acting on rate cases
appealed to them from the Commission
may decide as to whether the rate fixed
by the Commission affords a "just com-
pensation," is meritorious and worthy of
support. At present the President is in-
clined to favor the so-called Long amend-
ment, but if that is not satisfactory, and
it is very evident that it is not, he would
not be unwilling to have the pending bill
amended by the addition of the Bailey
amendment. He is unalterably opposed
to the Knox amendment. He inclines to
the opinion that it is not necessary t.o
make any provision for judicial action,
but is willing to concede that the proper
kind of an amendment covering such
provision will hardly do any harm and
may do a great deal of good.
Roosevelt Will
Consult Minority Senators.
These statements are made advisedly.
The President realizes that the so-called
railroad Senators on the Republican side
are apparently getting the better of him
in the matter of proposed court review
and it is necessary for him to do some-
thing in order to regain the ground he
has lost, and, if possible, secure an ad-
vantage. Senator Bailey gave a hint as
to what this something ought to be when
he suggested in the Senate last Tues-
day that it was not fitting that only,'
Republican Senators were invited to thV
White House conference^. The Presi-
dent immediately let certain Democratic
Senators know that he would like to talk
with them on the subject of rates. Two
of them, Foster of Louisiana and Clay
of Georgia, went to see him yesterday in
response to his invitation. Two others.
Overman of North Carolina and Daniel
of Virginia, called on him today. Others
from the Democratic side are expected to
go also. Neither Senator Bailey nor Sen-
ator Tillman will be among them, how-
ever.
Bailey Will Not
Call at White House.
The President would be gla.rt' to confer
with them, or at least with Bailey, but
he will not have the opportunity. These
statements are also made advisedly.
Senator Bailey made his views with ref-
erence* to the distinct duties of the legis- ♦
lative and executiveebranches oftthe Gov-
ernment very clear in a brief speech jjj
the Senate this afternoon, and also called
attention in a very pointed way to the
fact that it is not the Democrats, but the
Republicans, who are'opposing the Presi-
dent and preventing*the passage of the
rate bill. i
This had the effect of renewing a col-
loquy between Dolliver of Iowa, repre-
senting the other Republican faction.
