ELEVEN FIREMBN KILLED
Fatal Fire in an Opera House at Ben

CRUSHED BY FALLING WALLS.

The Four Sides Of the Burning Structure

Covered tho Unfortunate eF1remen--Five
of Them Came From q Neighboring
Town---No Opportunity Given to Escape
BENTON HAnBoR, Mich. September g.
Shortly after midnight Sunday morning
some passersby saw smoke curling up from
the lower windows Of Yore's Opera House.
They stood watching until tongue Of fame
burst out of the window. Then they ran for
the nearest lrebox and rang an alarm.
Before the Fire Department could respond
the interior OF the Opera House was mass OF
fame. and the Chief ofthe Department, early
recognizing the possibilities Of the fire, asked
for aid from the st. Joseph Fire Department
That department responded quickly, and the
flremen ranged themselves about the Opera
House to fight the fire.
Almost without warning there was crash.
and the rear " all fell icto the alley, burying
nearly score Of fremen. Then the front
wall went out into the street. In less than
minute the east wall went down and the
west wall fell, carrying to destruction the
single-story frame houses on that side. Still
the Are ragged, but the spectators cared moth
ing for It or the property damage. They
were interested In rescutng the fremen
buried under the fallen walls.
It was 2 o'clock this u;oruing before the
ruins had cooled sufficiently to allow the
work OF rescue to 60 on. A crowd Of spec
tators attacked the mass OF brick in the alley,
and frat dragt ed out the remains OF Scott
Rice. His sidentity was established BY letters
In his pocket.
One after another OF the bodies Of the men
we're dragged from the ruins. Scott r. Rice,
John Hoffman, Thomas Kidd, Frank Wood
ley. Will Mitten, Louis Hoffman, all fremen
OF Benton Harbor; Frank Watson, Edward
q. Gange, Arthur @. Hill, Frank Seaver and
Robert L. Rolfe, fremen from st. Joseph.
While searching for the dead the searchers
dragged from the ruins John Mccormick. OF
Benton Harbor, whose leg was broken and
ankle crushed; John A. Crawford, ex-Chtet
of the Benton Harbor Department, overcome
by heat and smoke and bruised about the
head and shoulders; Will Freund, cut about
the head and seriously injured; Frank Paget,
both legs crushed by falling brick, and an
unknown man who is Injured internally and
badly burned.
Just what caused the fire Is unknown, but
It Is supposed to have originated In the base
ment Of the Opera House either from q cigar
thrown. into the sawdust receptacle or from
gas Jet left burning. The fremen labored
from the time Of the discovery until o'clock
this morning, and then succeeded IN obtain
ing mastery over the flames.
The cities Of Benton Harbor and st. Joseph

Trusts.

"The Democratic party is opposed to
trusts. It would be rscreant to its duty to
the people OF the country II it recognized
either the moral Or the legal right OF these
great aggrecations OF wealth to stlhe COM
petition, bankrupt rivals aud then prey upon
society. Corporations arc the creatures OF

from under the control OF the power WHEN

upon the theory that they advance the pub
lie veal, and they must not be allowed tc
use their powers for ths public injury. =,
The enlargement OF the powers OF the
Interstate Commerce Committee and the
prosecution by the Government OF its legal
claims against the Pacific railroads are
next advocated by Mr.. Bryan. Then he
continues:
"Thc people of the United States. happy

hood; declares for the reservation OF
all public lands "for the establish
ment of free homes for American citi-
zens;" advocates continuing appropriations
for the Improvement of the countrys great
waterways, and closes his letter Us follows:
The Tariff.
'iIr Is not necessary 70 discuss tho tariff
question at this time. Whatever may be the
individual views Of citizens as 10 the relative
merits OF protection and tariff reform, all
must recognize that until the money ques-
tion Is fully and finally settled the American
people will not consent to the consideration
OF any other important question. Taxation
presents problem which In some form ls
continually present. and a postponenent OF
definite action upon it involves no sacrlnce
OF personal opinion or political pr'n-
cipes, but the crisis presented by hna9-
cial conditions cannot be postponed
Tremendous results will follow the action
taken by the United States on the money
question and delay is impossible. The peo-
pie OF this Nation, sitting "a high court,
must render judgment in the cause Whlch
greed Is prosecuting against humanity. Inc
decision will either give hope and inspiration
to those who toll or shut the doors OF mercy
on mankind In,the presence Of this over
shadowiug ISSUE differences OF opinion upon
minor questions must be laid aside In order
that there may be united action among those
who are determined that progress toward 3
universal gold standard shall be stayed and
the gold and silver standard Of the Constitu-
ton restored. W. ]. BRYAN"

THE ARKANSAS ELECTION.
The State Goes Democratic by a Large
Majority.

The State Goes Democratic by Large
Majority.
The election just held in Arkansas was for
State and county offices and for members OF
the Legislature. which chooses United States
Senator to succeed James Z. Jones. Theticket
is a long one, and the count will be necessar-
lily slow. A Little Rock dispatch states that
In that city $500 votes were cast, and the
Democratic candidates received 1000 OF
them, a gain Of about 400 compared to the
figures OF two years ago. II this ratio OBJ
tains throughout the entire State, the ma
iorlty for Jones, Democratic candidate for
Governor, will be over 60, 600.
Advices from the counties reached by tele-
graph indicated that heavier vote THAI
usual had been polled. This is especially
true Of counties where the negro vote Is
light.
The Legislature, which will elect q sue
cessor to Senator JHmes Z. Jones, Chairman
OF the Democratic National Committee, is
heavily Democratic In both branches.
