which started from unexplained causes,
DESTROYED the greater portion of Reid |
Brothers packing house, in Armour
dale, Sunday evening, involving loss
Of 500, 600. The loss may reach one
million dollars.
From a spectacular standpoint the fire
was a magnificent thing. The packing
house plant is located in the west bot
toms, and thousands Of people gather
ed on the west bluff Of this city TO
view IT,
The fire started in the third story Of
the hog building, structure Of three
stories, 200 by IS feet at $40 o'clock.
1t spread with remarkable rapidity and
quickly communicated to the engine
room on the south. The entire strength
Of the fire department Of the two Kan
sas Citys responded to the call, but the
water pressure was totally ineffective.
The best that could be done was to
save the beef building.
At 9:lO the first wall fell, and then
the fire spread to the icehouses five In
number and 100 by 200 feet in size.
All were destroyed. Next the
flames attacked the storage build
ng. This is an Immense -.-''c'"re
four stories high and $50 by 200
feet. 1t was packed from top to bot
tom with pork. One of the Reid broth
ers stated Sunday night that the firm
never before had so heavy stock in
the building,
A big effort was made TO save this
building, but unavailing. The floors
and walls were soaked with grease and
burned like finder. 1t was only by
concentrating the strength OF the de-
partment and Armour's water tower
that the beef building was saved.
Reid Bros carried about s750,OOC
worth Of insurance on buildings and
stock. OF this amount $500, 900 was in
demnity exchange, an organization
formed by local packers and merchants
for self-protection and cooperative In
surance two or three years ago.

IL About Equally Divided.
WASHINGTON, March 2G.-The SUI
preme courtroom was packed Monday
by a crowd which rivaled the crush
that filled Il during the hearing Of the
income tax eases, the most OF those
who thronged the chamber were drawn
there by the expectation that decis-
ION on those cases would be rendered.
Not a word was said about them, how
ever, and the announcement Of the
courts determination will be deferred
for week at least, and possibly for
two,
This is the usual length OF time re-
quired for the consideration OF case
and the rendering Of formal decision.
II Is slow work. Immediately after
the hearing Of case, or soon after as
may be, the court gets together for
consultation, and each Justice an
nounces his opinion.
II the opinion is unanimous the court
selects one Of its members 10 write II
out. II II ia divided each faction Sc
lects It's own spokesman. Then comes
the writing Of the opinions, which is a
long, laborious and exhaustive task.
When the first drafts have been
made they are read 10 the respective
groups for revision. as each opinion il
supposed TO be entirely satisfactory e
each OF the justices who sign. After
this revision the opinions are printed
and then read again as before ant
again revised
This Is the method followed even IL

Law is Unconstitutional
PARRERsBURG, w. Va, March 25. AT
torneys of the cigarette trust, who
have been examining the law passed by
the last legislature requiring retailers
to pay $500 license, claim to have dis
covered errors sufficient to base a suit
testing the constitutionality Of the act.
But the real test will be based upon
the claim of the unjust discrimina-
ton which permits liquor dealers to
sell cigarettes upon the payment OF
500, while tobacconists and all others
are required to Z bay $500 for the same
privilege. 1t is understood that coun'
sci for the trust have directed the re
tailers to ignore the law entirely, the
trust guaranteeing to protect them IL
all suits, and against any loss through
the imposition of fines.
