CINCINNATI, July 22.-Four people were
burned to death and several seriously
injured in a tenement house here to-
night. A four-story building at A Front
street, occupied on the first floor as a
secondhand store by Solomon Menski,
and on the upper floors as tenement
house, was discovered to be on fire at II
O'Clock. An alarm was turned in, and
before the fire department arrived sew
eral policemen did good work in getting
the unfortunate inmates out of the
building. AS soon as the fremen ar
rived the work was vigorously pros
ecuted, but when the flames were ex-
tinguished it was found that Solomon
Menski and wife and their two young
children were dead, and Gus Hitzwell
and Misses Eva and Mary Kasseneur
seriously and probably fatally burned.
Menski's family occupied the rear of
the second story, directly over where the
fire is supposed to have started. The
people on the third and fourth floors for
the most part fled to the roof, but sew
eral were taken out by the fremen.
Some OF them were unconscious when
found, having been overcome by smoke.
The only exit to the street was mar
row, rickety pine staircase, which was
one of the first things to burn. The
police and firemen think the above list
comprises all the casualties, but until
the ruins are thoroughly searched it
will not be known positively whether
more unfOrtunates perished or not.

FORNINST COERCION.
SOUTHERN OPPOSITION TO THE
PENDING FORCE BILL.
Commercial Bodies of the South Devising
Policy to be Pursued in Case the
Federal Election Bill Becomes Law.

New ORLEANS, July 22.--The chamber
of commerce, the largest commercial
body in the south, having been asked
for its views On the suggestion to hold a
convention of southern business men to
consider what is best for the south to do
if the force bill now before congress shall
become law, replies as follows: "It
is our opinion that the commercial
south should at once meet in conven-
ton to deliberate and decide upon
a course which it will adopt in the
event that onr northern fellow country
men elect to dissolve the brotherly ties
which have grown up between us dur
ing a quarter of a century of the pro-
foundest peace, and to establish
Poland or an Ireland ON this western
hemisphere in place of the prosperous
land now extending hearty welcome to
northern capital and northern muscle.
Should any considerable number of
commercial bodies in the south share
our views we shall at once appoint dele
gates to attend any convention that may
be called to consider the situation"

WINE DEALERS vICTIMIZED.
Systematic Swindling by New York Com
mission Merchants.


SAN Francisco, July 22.-The Chron-
icle says: Recent investigations made
by several prominent wine dealers in
this city have led them to believe that
they have been Systematically victim
lied by set of Italian and Greek firms
in New York, who are said to constitute
Several of these firms are said to be
have been receiving orders from
OF wine, and the firms used
members of the clique. Several dealers
here have made shipments as requested
and never received cent in return.
This condition of affairs was brought to
light by an investigation following the
recent receipt of an order for quantity
of wine and brandy from w. f. Gosini
& Co., No. 116 Pearl street, New York.
The reference given in this case was Ed
ward HI. Calcagni, 40 Broad street, New
York. An agent of the firm in this
city, by whom the order was received,
investigated the matter and reported
that Gosini & Co. had at other times
gone under the name of the West India
Company, and j. B. Pastore & Co. and
G. Calcagni was reported in the same
category, having gone under the name
of S. Meusi& Co. He also reported the
existence of ring in New York engaged
in these transactions. One Charles
Barsatti would take the bills of lading
received by these alleged fictitious firms,
sell the goods in market and settle with
his principals, and the shippers would
never receive anything.

THE OARSMEN.
A GREAT DAYS SPORT ENJOYED
AT DULUTH.
Dared Prize - The Rowing Done in
q Choppy Water.

DULUTH, Mimi, July 22.-The anna
teur four-oared race, declared off yester-
day by the fouling of the Lurline and
Duluth crews, was rowed this morning,
the Minnesotas winning in 10 20, Du-
luth following close in 1926, and St.
Paul third. The Winnipegs were out of
the race from start to finish.
All the races this afternoon took
place on the West Superior course.
just before the races a strong breeze
made the water very rough. The first
event, the double-scull race, was won by
Minnesota, one length ahead of the
Lurlines, who were three lengths ahead
of the Winnipegs, the Catlins and Cedar
Rapids following; time, Minnesota,
10 :55L.
The senior singles had but two start
ers, Corbett and Pearson. Corbett main
tanned the lead from the beginning.
Pearson made magnificent squirt on
the last quarter, but Corbett beat him
by about two and half lengths; time,
first, u 20; second, u :33.
The great four-oared professional race,
in which betting and pool-selling had
been lively for the past few days, was
the last event. The five crews, with
their positions from the shore, were as
follows: Hanlon's, consisting of Han
lon, Teemer, Hosmer and Wise; Ross's
consisting of Ross, Vail, Kennedy and
D. E. Murphy; the West Ends, of Buf-
falo, Gaudaur's crew, consisting of Nc
Kay, Streme, Hamm and Gaudaur; and
Teneyck's and the Eries, of Buffalo.
After the first half of the down
stretch Hanlon's and Gaudaur's crews
were the only ones really in the race.
The others were merely followers
in the procession. The Fries caught the
water first, but the Hanlon crew soon
forged ahead, followed closely by the
Gaudaur crew. There never was seen a
more exciting struggle than between
these two crews. Hanlon turned first,
and pulled away on the homestretch
with a stroke which left the Gaudaur
crew behind couple of lengths. The
latter reserued their strength, however,
and when the half-mile buoy was reached
spurted and recovered the distance.
Then came the pull at the
finish. The Gaudaur crew crept slowly
ahead of the Hanlon crew until they
reached the finish about length and
nail dHeau Vi Cne 1anlOn crew. Inc
Eries came in length behind, but the
Ross crew was several boat lengths be-
hind the Eries. The West Ends gave up
the race half way back the line. For
the winners, who captured prize of
$1,000, the time was IS 20; for Han
Ions crew, :25 for Eries, Is 81.
The four-oared junior race, rowed over
this morning, will have to be rowed once
more, because the st. Pauls fouled the
Winnipegs.
