SIX FIREMEN KILLED.
We're Fighting Flames that We're
Playing Havoc in Minneapolis
Business District.

Minneapolis, Mimi, June 28.-The
most disastrous fire which ever visited
Minneapolis accomplished it's work of
destruction and death last night. With
in an hour after the alarm rang in at II
o'clock, six fremen paid the penalty of
death for their faithfulness in trying to
save the property of others. The names
of the dead are:
JOSEPH HOY. truck No. q

more dead who have not yet been extri-
Gated from under the ruins of the walls
which fell and crushed them.
The property loss consisted of the en-
tire demolition of the building occupied
by Mcdonald Brothers, dealers in crock
cry, chinaware, glassware, siiverware
and gas fixtures. The building was of
four Stories brick walls and wooden iu-
terror framework and was we'll stocked
The fire originated in the boxes and
packing stored in the rear of the building

BRITAIN MAY PROTEST.
Americans May be Unable to Take
Possession of Their Con-
CRSSiOn.

Washington, D. c., June 29.-It is ex-
will protest against the concession Ven
ezuela has made to an American COM
pany and will warn the Americans
against taking possession of the territory,
part of which is claimed by Great Brit
ain. Under similar circumstances, the
British foreign Office protested against
the same concession when it was first
granted to Americans in 1854 and the
warnings at that time were 50 determined
that the latter did not push their con-
cesSion, which has remained dormant I'M
til now Venezuela grants it and the
Americans start to assume possession of
the territory.
The warning given by Great Britain
when the last concession was given Ito
Americans covering the same lands was
as follows:
Colonial Office London, Oct. 81, 1856
Whereas, the boundary line between her
majesty's colony of British Guiana and the
republic of Venezuela is in dispute, and
whereas, it has come to the knowledge of her
majesty's government that grants of land
within the territory claimed by her majesty's
government have been made or purported to
have been made by or in the name of the
government of Venezuela, notice is hereby
given that no title to land or to any right or
in or over affecting such land within the
Territory claimed by her majeSty'S govern
ment. purporting to be derived from or
through the government of Venezuela or
any officer or person authorized by that
government will be admitted or recognized
by her majesty's government, and any per-
son taking possession of or exercising any
right over any such lands under color OF any
such title or pretended title will be liable to
be treated as a treSpaSSer.
This warning was the elimination of
controversy following the grant
There was much contention, but the
American company at last abandoned its
plans and the concession has remained
in allegiance ever since. Now that it is
revived the purpose of Great Britain to
protest is believed to be clearly outlined
by the action taken ten years ago. 1t is
even thought that the protests of that
day remain operative today as they cover
the same lands. but it is not doubted
that the British authorities will renew
the warnings in order to give them more
formal application to the present case.

YALE AN EASY WINNER.
Harvard was Out of the Race by
Nine LengthS-TheIr
Records.

New London, Conn, June 2S.-Yale
won the fourth consecutive victory over
Harvard in the university boat race here
today and won easily by nine lengths,
the official time being p 80. The condi-
tons of water and wind could not have
been more favorable. Harvard had a
slight advantage at the start but when a
mile had been rowed, Yale was length
and half in the lead. The story Of the
race is told in the record of the official
time which is as follows:
First Mile-Yale. 5:04; Harvard, $50.
Second NIile-Yale, 1921; Harvard
1927
Third NIile-Yale. 1859; Harvard,
1921.
Fourth NIile-Yale, 21:3O; Harvard
22:05.
Two members of the Harvard crew
were badly exhausted by the time the
course had been rowed but Yale appeared
fit for a continuation of the work.
Since the Inauguration of the Yale
Harvard boat races in 1876 Yale has
won thirteen and Harvard seven con-
tests. The best time ever made over the
Thames course was by the victorious
Yale crew in 1888, the time being 20:10.

re- ceS since 1876:

the Pine River Logging and Improve
ment company; Joel Il. Bassett and Will
lam L. Bassett, copartners as J. B. Bas-
ssett & Co.; John S. Pillsbury and
Charles A. Smith, copartners as c.. A
Smith & Co. The technical offense is
conversion, and the charge is that de-
PENDANTS unlawfully entered on the terri
tory within the Mississippi and Winni-
bigoshish reservations and Systematically
cut the timber and converted the same to
their own us2s. The timber has been
worked into lumber of the value given.
The government has been working up the
case for two and one-half years.

DEFENDER Is LAUNCHED.
The New Yacht Grounds in the Mud,
but is Released Her
Dimensions.

Bristol, r. l., June 29.-The yacht De-
fender was launched this afternoon. She
left the ways all right but grounded in
the mud, the tide being low.
The fleet of yachts and small craft in
the harbor began to receive acquisitions
early and the competition for positions of
vantage from which to witness the
launching was sharp. Colonia came in
from Newport early with the crew of
the Defender and the men were sent to
the yard to assist in preparation for the
event of the day. Soon after sunrise the
swarm of workmen whose services were
needed in the final preparations were on
hand and the work of oiling the ways
began.
The ways are almost 300 feet long and
end in 26 feet CT water. They are built
OF heavy timber and constructed as if
they were meant to stand for years 1t
took three hours to complete the oiling
and then the attention of the workmen
was directed to the fastening which held
the boat in position. A dock near the
end OF the ways was set aside by the
Herreshoffs for spectators. Capt. Her
reshoff says the Defender is the best
yacht his firm has built He refused,
however, to give the dimensions of the
boat or any facts regarding her sail area.
"A gentleman Whc is in position to secure
correct information. however. gave to the
Associated press correspondent figures as

FIVE BLOCKS BURN.
Fire Spreads from a San Francisco
Box Factory-One
Fatality.

San Francisco, Cal. June 2S.-At G
o'clock last evening fire broke out in the
box factory of Wright, Carrick & Will
Jams, Fourth and Brannan streets. The
fire spread rapidly, and in few minutes
the Fifth Street Furniture company S
building was a mass OF flames.
1t was not long before the whole block
bounded by Fourth, Fifth. Bryant anG
Brannan streets was mass of flames. A
third alarm calling all the fire apparatus
of the city into use was sounded, but
still the fire spread and at o'clock the
buildings on the other side of Brannan
street began to burn. Then the flames
spread to the four adjoining blocks.
For four hours the tiremen had such a
battle with fire as seldom falls to their
lot, only the timely change in the wind,
which swept the flames back over the
burned district saved the entire district
south of Market street from destruction.
Many scores of buildings were burned,
but the monetary loss was not as large
as it was expected to be, as the fire was
kept away from the richly-stored ware
houses of the district, and only cheap
frame structures, occupied by poor labor
ing people and small manufacturers were
damaged. The loss will probably be be-
tween $1,000,000 and $1,5OO,O00, with
very little insurance, as the insurance
companies have long avoided taking risks
in that section.
One fatality has been reported. A
Miss Gilroy, while attempting to save
some of her belongings, was covered with
burning oil and burned to death. Many
people have received injuries from walls
The people in the fire district were terror
stricken Most of them were of the
poorer classes and made great efforts to
save their small belongings. Express
wagons and drays were ut a premium.
Probably 100000 people gathered at the
fire.
