CONSUMED BY FIRE.
DIR. KelIer's House on Madison
Street Burned Down.
THE FIREMEN WE'RE TOO LATE.
Lonely House by the Great Trestle De-
stroyed-Disappointe Hope OF
Boom Prices.

The two-story house OF DR.. G. n. Keller, q
bydropathic physician who lives at the corner
of Madison aud Carney streets, caught fire last
evening about o'clock, and burned to the
ground. The damages will reach Sl,500, with
1900 insurance In companies represented by B.
W. Baker.
The exact origin of the fire is not yet known.
At the time the building caught DR.. Keller was
in town, and when he arrived at his home he
found the place almost burned to the ground,
and HIS wife with her infant in her arms was
nearly crazed with fright. Shortly after the ar
rival of her husband she went into Mysteries,
and was cared for by charitable neighbors. She
was SO excited that she could not talk nationally
about the cause OF the fire, but she did say that
she had some leaf lard in the oven, and from
this it is thought that probably the lard caught
fire, and flames bursting out, set the table and
room, and finally the entire building, on fire.
The building stood in hollow between the
Madison street power house and the lake, which
was bridged by the cable line company with a
high trestle Dr. Keller built his home shortly
after the big fire at cost OF 1920. He bought
his property and calculated upon lis value in
creasing when the cable line should be built
and tap its northern boundary. Instead OF his
property increasing, 1t rendered almost
worthless by the building of the bridge The
city council granted the cable line company a
permit to bridge the Carney street hollow, aud
cars, instead OF tapping the property owned by
DIR. Keller, run on level higher than the roof
of his house. A suit is now pending in the
superior court In which the unlucky land owner

lous escape from destruction. 1t was scarcely
even blackened
The fire department responded to telephone
call, but the house was in ashes when the en-
gines arrived at the scene after the long drive.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Kate Castleton in ..The Dazzle,

The charming Kate Castleton, bonnie Kate,
rs she is known throughout the land, will ap-
pear at the Seattle opera house tonight in 'The
Dazzler. The play is of the farce-comedy order
and was one OF the great successes of last season,
the critics generally CHASING it as one of the
best OF this popular style of entertainment. In
the role OF Kitty Starlight, a mischieyous and
wlnsome actress, who, incognito, creates sad
havoc among host of admirers, Miss Castleton
has role that fits her like glove and is full OF
possibilities Tor the display of her talent and
abilities as comedienne. A charming stage
presence, excellent voice, and that wondrous
magnetism without which no artist ever
achieved great success, ali combine to make
Kate Castleton one of the most unique,
original and attractive of the fair footlght
favorites. Her ballad singing is one of her
strongest points, and her famous song "For
Goodness Sake Don't Say I Told You will
never grow old or pail the taste Of the public.
1t is her own, for tho ugh hundreds have sung it
none ever succeeded in singing it like Bonnie
Kate. The duet from Ruddygore, in which she
takes part, is of the features of the evening.
Two other artists who have been selected among
Others to surround the queen of the comedy
stage are Joseph OFT, young comedian who
has sprung at once TO the front rank of eccentric
comedy by his inimitable Characterization,
and Lena Meryille, one of the most talented of
the singing and dancing condolences. Aside
from these there are twenty odd people in the
east, all capable people, who have been selected
with view TO the musical and dramatic re-
quirements OF the play. '.The DazZler' ought
to test the capacity of the house.

The Emma Tbursbv Concert

Tomorrow night at the Seattle opera house,
Emma Thursby sings number of ner noblest
songs. Musical composers have always admired
this artist for the purity OF her voice and for
that magnetic sympathy which she throws into
the Interpretation OF musical conceptions. Sell
dom has nature endowed singer with so wide
a range and so pure and clear an enunciation.
II may be years before another opportunity Will
present itself for Seattle to hear Miss Thursby.
Miss Hanna will play the Accomplishments for
Miss Thursby, who has expressed perfect salts
faction with the young pianist's artistic work.
Professor Olof Bull will charm all by his won
derful power over the violin. Miss Hamilton
Will whistle, and many who have heard her
claim that she is the equal of the remarkable
Mrs Shaw. Mr. Herbert Joy will sing, and his
work has for some time been recognized as of
the highest order. Mr. Salmon will play on his
instrument, the piano, and will unquestionably
maintain the high reputation which he has al
ready achieved. Take it as whole, the concert
will be the finest given in Seattle for long
time, and all who fail to attend will miss much
genuine pleasure. Seats are on sale at Uansen's

THE HACK ORDINANCE.
FATAL Flaws Discovered by KahaIey's
Counsel.

In the case of the City vs.. j. II. Kahaley,
wherein ordinance No. Sl2, viii oh provides for
the maintenance of hack stands and regulates
hack drivers, was being tested, Judge Rivers
yesterday sustained a demurrer to the complaint
and the case was thrown out of court. J. II.
Lewis, Tor the defense, raised two important
points. First, the city has power to pass an
ordinance of this character second, if il did
have the power to pass such an ordinance, that
II had no power to delegate authority to the
police commissioners to designate the stands
for hacks and other vehicles Though several
other questions were raised, it was on these two
points that the demurrer was sustained
The objectionable part of the ordinance COW
cred by the demurrer is found in sections and
6, which read as follows:
sec. 5. The police commissioners of the city
OF seattle shall by order designate certain places
stands, and drivers of vehicles shall take their
stand at such places while waiting for passen-
gers, and shall have the right to stand on any
vacant space within the designated limits and
no preference shall be given or shown to any
vehicle OF the same class ms to choice of position
within such limits, except that different places
may be designated for omnibuses.
See. 6 The chief of police shall instruct the
police officer or police officers duty at sta
tons, depots or steamboat landings as to the
location of the several stands designated by the
police commissioners, as above provided for,
and such police officer or officers shall instruct
the drivers of the different vehicles where they
lhues eNs"u 'hSii iehPectile Nshlcies. anu any
diver OF any vehicle provided for in this ordin-
ance who shall neglect or refuse to obey such
instructions or directions of such police officer
shall upon conviction in the municipal court
be fined In any sum OF not less than 81 nor more
than 500 or be confined in the city Jail not less
than one day nor more than thirty pays.
In sustaining the demurrer Judge Rivers held
that the city had no right to pass an ordinance
making it q Unable offense for a man to simply
disobey the command of police officer, as is
provided for in the latter part of section s. that
the ordinance does not state "for violating such
law he shall be punished" but for refusing
TO obey instructions of the police officer" he
shall be fined. He contended that the council
delegated the officers with authority which
they themselves had no right to assume.
