floor. From that time on the scene

others screamed and yelled. The
lamp was finally taken down, but it
fell to the floor In their attempts to
get it outside it was kicked to the floor
where ii lay un1nolested. as it could
not be touched on account Of the in
tense heat. The people We're COM
PEELED to go through the flames in

NEW ORLEANS MAYOR INDICATED
Judge King Finds lie Is Not Guilty
of MaIfeaaance.

of MaIfeasance.
New Orleans, La, March II. Judge
King Of the civil district court rendered
his decision this morning in the i'm
peachment proceedings against Mayor
Fitzpatrick. which he has had under ad-
visement since the arguments were heard
some weeks ago. The opinion OF tho
court is lengthy and comprehensive and
deals with the case thoroughly. It com
mences by telling how the trial was one
which had been watched with consider
able interest by the public and that II
was a case OF vital interest to them.
The opinion also stated that on the re-
suit OF the trial depended considerable
for the respondent as much of his fu-
ture character would depend upon a.
The Judge then read the definition OF
malfeasance in office and what duties
were imposed upon the mayor and other
city officers, and read from the city char
ter what officers compose the city ad-
ministration and told how the mayor was
obliged to report from time to time the
condition OF the city; that he should
suspend any officer negligent In his dut-
les; how he should examine and have the
vetoing power of all ordinances. The
duties Of the other city officers were de-
fined as was also the personnel and pow
ers of the city council and tie Judge
stated that the power OF the council Is
so extended as to give II nearly entire
control Of the city. The summing UP is
a complete vindication OF the mayor and
acquits him on every charge OF mis-
feasance and malfeasance.

Washington, March 14.-In the early
history of our navy the policy of setting
aside naval reservations in the
Gulf country-Florlda Alabama and Mis-

for the purpose of reserving for naval
purposes, the live oak and other valua-
BILE timber on them, then extensively
used in ship-building. The change in ma
val architecture. and the practical aban-
donment a. woo en- ships, made the long

and Secretary Herbert recommended they
be restored to the public domain. Con-
gress approved the recommendation and
passed the necessary laws, and Secretary
Herbert to-day certified the lands to Sec
retary Smith, who will open them under
