THREE LIVES WERE LOST.
A Match Factory Suddenly Set on Fire
b. Frictio9.

DETROIT, -..ich., Nov. 16.-Another
FIRE, attended with terrible fatalities,
occurred about this morning when
the factory of the Improved Match Co.,
at Bellevue avenue and Fredericks
street, was burned and three lives lost.
The dead are: Reuben Davis, night
watchman, AZ years old, single; John
Wagner, night watchman, an elderly
nam, married; Agnes Yettke, IL years
cid
The factory has been working night
and day. About $3.50 o'clock a shift
ef 30 hands were employed, the fire
suddenly started probably by friction.
The flames spread with great rapidity.
All the employees except the three es-
capped.
After destroying the main building
and quitting the smaller one, the fire
burned itself out. The bodies of Davis
and Miss Yettle were recovered burn
ed beyond recognition. The building,
machinery and stock destroyed were
valued at 10000; insured $4,000.

sHIP-BUILDING On THE LAKES.
40 Effort viii be Made TO Have the
Treaty OF 1917 AbrOgafed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator
Mcmillan to-day expressed the opinion
that there would be no determined or
concerted effort on he part of Senators
and members of the House from the
lake States to secure the abrogation of
the treaty of 1917 prohibiting the
building of war vessels by this country
and England on the great lakes. The
movement grows out of the recent re-
fusal of the Secretary of the Navy to
let contracts for the construction at
Detroit of two vessels authorized by
the last Congress. Senator Mcmillan
takes the position that the treaty is
of greater protection to the United
States than to Great Britain and that
it would be folly for this country to
cancel the treaties until the United
States can secure canal outlet to tide
water. He thinks a modification of
the treaty, which will answer some of
the complaints, may be secured.

CHICAGoANs IN TENNESSEE.
Royalty Entertained Yesterday BY the
People of Chattanooga.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov 16-A
perfect November day with brightest
sunshine and bluest sky, greeted the
Chicago hosts on their arrival here
this morning. This was very different
from the pouring rain which marred
the day at Nashville last Saturday.
The first section of the trains arrived
at nine o'clock and contained seven
companies of soldiers. The next sec
tion did not arrive until after II
o'clock and the others were still later.
A large reception committee met the
visitors at the depot. Special cars
were in waiting to convey them to
Lookout Mountain and Chicakamauga
National Military Park, Missionary
Ridge and other places. Most of the
visitors went to the mountain from
which fine view was had to-day on
account of the bright weather. The
new double cable incline to Lookout
Mountain which the projectors want
ed to have running during the Chicka-
mauga Park dedication was in opera
tion for the first time to-day. 1t is
the steepest incline in the
world. The Times gave the visitors an
agreeable surprise, it's first page this
morning containing only Chicago To-
cal news received by specials last
night. The information from home
was eagerly read and Mr.. Adolph.
Ochs, the proprietor warmly thanked
for his thoughtfulness and praised for
his enterprise.
The Cleveland, O., Chamber of Com
merce, also spent the day here. They
arrived early this morning and went
to Lookout Inn for breakfast, seeing
the sun rise and witnessing the beau
tiful cloud from the muontain.

Inflated MOTOR CAR
IT DROPPED THROUGH A DRAW
BRIDGE INTO THE RIVER
BELOW.
COHTAINED SOME 80 PASSENGERS

Blame tor fbe Disaster Seems to be
Place d on the COnductOr--The Bridge
Was Being Opened as the Car Ran
up 10 it Gut the Conductor Was
Blinded by the Electric Light w oIk
Of Rescue Began Immediately afteI
the Accident.
CLEVELAND, o., Nov. 16.-A heavy
electric motor car containing between
20 and 30 passengers went through
the draw of the Central viaduct at Z
o'clock this evening and dropped 100
feet to the river below. 1t is horror,
the like of which has never occurred
before.
The Central viaduct is huge silt
bridge 5000 feet long, made of iron. 1t
connects the heights and the prosper
GUS residence section on the South side
with the business center of the city.
Directly over the river is a draw bridge
of the pivot swinging pattern, and this
is 101 feet above the surface of the wa
ter. The South side street railroad
passes over the bridge and on either
side of the draw there is a safety
switch, which, unless the conductor
alights and holds up handle, viii
send car into the gutter instead of
allowing it to go on the draw.
First reports from the scene Of the
disaster seem to place the blame on
the conductor. They were to the eff
feet that the ill-fated motor car, CON
tanning between twenty and thirty
people, approached the draw just as a
1.n
attendants had closed the big iron
gates and were preparing to swing the
draw. AS is the rule, the car stopped
and the conductor went forward to re-
lease the switch in case the way was
clear. He must have been blinded by
the electric lights, for an eyewitness
declares that although the gates were
closed and the draw was already in
motion, the conductor raised the
switch handle. The motorman applied
the current and the car shot forward
and struck the gates with crash.
There was only a moments pause and
then the heavy car ground its way
through the wreckage and plunged
over the brink into the black abyss,
amid the screams and frantic cries OF
the passengers, who, at the first init
nation Of danger, rushed for the rear
door. The car struck the water with
great splash, and then there was
silence.
Soon men began to rush about,
shouting, and police patrol wagons
and ambuIances were soon flying to
the spot in response to the telephone
calls. In an incredibly short space OF
time the work of rescue had begun.

LONDON, Nov. 16.-The news from
the East and far East, during the week,
has not been of nature calculated to
dissipate the clouds which have been
hanging heavily over the political hori-
zon for long time past. From Asia
Minor came authenticated reports OF
further massacres of Armenians dur
ing which the Turks seem to have APP
piled the torch to petroleum soaked
yicims and to have skinned others
alive in addition to outraging women
and plundering property on all sides.
From the far East, yesterday, came a
report that it is positively stated, at
Shanghai, that China has agreed that
Germany shall occupy one of the is
lands near Annoy for he purpose of
Fears are expressed that if this rumor
turns out to be correct international
complications of a serious nature will
follow, as Russia and France, not to
mention Great Britain, are certain TO
demand a similar concession.
Strange as it may seem the often
siye vaporings of the Dunraven pam
phlet still fill the air here and his

of the sea clinging tenaciously to the
back of international sport, determin-
ed, apparently, to tire it out of exist
ence. But Dunrayen will not find much
consolation in the comments upon his
conduct made by the weekly newspa-
pers which, speaking generally, CON
denim him in unmistakable terms.
The Saturday Review for example,
says it finds it difficult to sympathize
with the feelings which induced Lord
Dunraven TO publish his "extraordin-
airy statement" and adds Neither the
matter nor the manner inclines us in
his favor. He surely ought never to
have mixed up the serious charges OF
fraud with the complacent expression
of his belief that in various points
Valkyrie is superior to Defender. His
assertions in regard to interference
seem TO show that he is incapable OF
impartiality. He asks to believe that
the captains of 500 competing steam
ers entered in a conspiracy to give
their wash to Vall<yrie." !" The Saturday
Review, concludes with remarkinQ
that it feels certain the New York
Yacht Club will deal with the matter
fairly.
The Speaker says: 'The iIl-judgeC
pamphlet has done much to alienate
our sympathy and make US acknow
ledge that the supporters of the New
York Yacht Club have ample grounds
for the indignation they express"

Cleveland, the brother of the Presi-
