New YORK, Sept. pa false alarm of
fire caused panic in a Jewish Synagogue
crowded with worshipers this morning.
In the rush. for the stairway four people
were crushed and trampled to death and
dozen seriously injured. The firemen
succeeded in extricating the people from
the blocked doorway.
The panic occurred in tenement build
ing occupied by three synagogues, one on
each floor. The congregation on the top
floor was of the poorest East-sde He
brews.
Rabbi Miller had opened the Book of
Prophets and the congregation sat with
bowed heads. By some accident the cam
die upon the preachers stand was upset,
flimsy drapery on the stand, VIII III blazed
up, and some frightened fool in the con-
gregation shouted fire" Then a rush
for the exit came. At the front partition
door there was jam, then n crash, and
part of the board wall gave way. The
mass poured out, fell and rolled down the
steep stairway.
Three times as many persons were at
tending the synagogues on the lower
floors; more than 1000 in all. They
heard the rush and crash above, and
heard the cries of FIRE" and immedi-
ately likewise made rush for the street.
AT the second floor the blind and mad
dened human avalanches met, and a
furious struggle ensued. Men and women
fought, dumb. but with the madness of
despair. and the weakest went down.
The deadlock was broken again and
again, only to be renewed with the same
scenes of terror. Slowly the solid mass,
filling the stairway from wall to ceiling,
slid down to the ground floor. Down
there IL brought up against rush from
the rear room of the synagogue and all
came to dead stop.
The police patrol arrived at this mo-
nent and the officers fighting their way
through the crowd, finally broke the Jam.
-Four women lay dead and nine are
seriously injured. The injured were
promptly sent to the hospital. Of the
four dead bodies that were taken to the
station-house three were identified. They
are: Freda Becker, A years old, a Rus
sian; Naomi Rosenthal, 80 years old
(married), and Tuebe Boyum, aged so
years,

VIsALIA, Sept. 23.-Detective Thacker
and posse and Frank Burke, with his
scouts and Indian trailers, returned to
this city to-day. Burke said there were
too many men in the. mountains to do
effective work, and the tracks on the
trails mislead the workers. No trace
whatever has been found of Evans and
Sontag, and Frank Burke is of the opin-
ion that the bandits have left the hills. A
caucus of officers was held to-day in this
city to determine on future plans of
action. Burke and party leave again for
the hills tomorrow.
Al. Witty, who was shot in the neck by
the bandits at Young's house, states that
Burke did shoot at Evans on that occa-

mission says change is apparent in the
political situation in Utah, which, ifprop-
erly managed, will be productive of good
results.
Considerable space is devoted TO the
discussion OF the subject of polygamy.
The commission insists that polyamy
still exists. That there are many cases
constantly coming to the public knowl-
edge of the association between the
polygamlsts and the plural wives they
nad pro1essed TO have put away is fact
that can hardly be controverted.
The commission reports fifteen male
persons who are believed to have entered
into polygamous marriages during the
last year, and of more than 300 persons
who are known or believed to be now
nylng In polygamouS relations.
LII Is not true, the report says, that the
commission has ever selected knowingly
"a corrupt mar" "a known gambler,n
or "a disreputable character for registra-
tlon or election officer, and if by chance
such person has been appointed, it has
not yet been brought to the attention of
the commission.
IN december last the church authorities
petitloned the President for a general
amnesty for the Mormon people. In the
opinion of the commission it is the most
important document the church has yet
issued, and contains the most direct and
positive statements of its desires and
promises for the future which has yet
come from that source. Without assent
ing to all the assertions of the appeal, the
commission would be glad if the relief
prayed for could be granted. That Utah
| is advancing and progressive the COM
mission freely admits.
PRESIDENT WOODRUFF DENIES 1T.
SALT LAKE, Sept. 23.-President Wood
ruff of the Mormon Church, referring to
the Utah Commissions report, emphat-
ically denies that any polygamist mar
rlages have been contracted since his
manifesto two years ago, and combats the
