the fire originated. After closely interro.

asked for the man who was responsible fo1

the other William Havice, were tinkering
away in the tunnel on the west side of the
enclosure. 1t is the 370-foot tunnel
through which runs the scenic railway.
The electric light current had been turned
off and they depended mainly upon the
light from candle to see their way clear
ly. They say the candle did not topple
over and fall into the paint they were
using, but the management, as well as the
underwriters. believe that such an event
occurred. at all events the tunnel caught
fire and for full hour threatened to wipe
up the Chutes' costly plant.
The interior of the tunnel was stretched
with well-painted canvas representing
scenery. Back of this were the tongue
and groove boards of the outer walls, the
entire structure being something in the
nature of an elevated shaft with draught
power calculated to accelerate any blaze.
Doxey and Havice used the buckets of
water stationed from place to place in the
tunnel, but without avail. In fact, the
fire gained such rapid Roadway that
Havice was almost caught and burned to
death. As it happened, while making his
escape. he had to crawl on hands and
knees out of the north emo Of the tunnel.
Engines 80 and 81 were the first on the
scene and, as the flames, after destroying
the tunnel, began licking away at the
roof of the $11, 900 casino, recently COM
pleted. they turned their streams on the
fire.
There were few people on the grounds
and what might have resulted in a panic
was avoided. The gates were thrown wide
open and the morning crowd had ample
time to make an exit.
The damage will amount to about $1,000,
fully covered by insurance.
Sylvan WE'LL, president of the commit
tee having in charge the Fall of the Bas-
tile celebration, was on the grounds early
in the afternoon. Manager E. r. de Tam
BILE of the Chutes assured him that the fire
would in no way affect the coming cele-
bration.
"In fact" stated Mr.. de Tamble, 1--WE
will have the tunnel and everything else
in perfect running condition by Sunday
next. But we nave certainly had a close
call"
Last week the Chutes people had COM
plete fire apparatus placed on their
grounds, but no connection had been
made with the water mains These con-
nections were promptly attended to after
yesterdays fire.

Mr.. Black laid especial stress upon the

WOMEN IN The PRECINCTS
Clubs Will Be Gotten Into Work
ing Order in About a
Week.
Miss Hay Says Over a Hundred
Papers Have Declared Editorially
for Woman Suffrage.

'I thought knew what work was, but
this beats anything in the way of work I
ever heard off,
With this plaintive sentiment Mrs. Long.
the lady organizer of the precinct clubs of
the woman suffrage movement, sank down
exhausted. She had just returned from a
long tramp in the Western Addition and
was literally tired out. But worn out
though she was physically, she evinced no
tagging in her devotion to the cause.
1--WE are progressing splendidIy," she
went on, land in few days 1 hope to
have lot of encouraging news to report.
When our plan gets to working we will
have about four hundred women in vari-
Gus parts of the City all laboring as one
body for the realization of common end.
The whole trouble seems to be to get the
thing a going. That is what 1 am
trying to do now, and though / have a
host OF earnest devoted helpers there ia
necessarily more or less confusion and an
incredible amount of work. Still all the
indications are most encouraging and the
goodwill of the workers is truly gratify-
ing"
At the Woman Suffrage Bureau all was
in hustle. In one corner a tired-looking
lady had great number OF precinct maps
before her, and with the assistance of half
dozen others was assigning certain local.
tiles to the respective committees in
charge. Miss Hay, the chairman, was at
her never-fnished task of debating an
swers to the letters with which the bureau
appears to be perennially inundated.
"The papers can help US a great deal in
this work of precinct organization if thew
will" she remarked. "Thus far over a
hundred papers in various parts of the
State have declared editorially in favor OF
woman suffrage, and all, with few excep-
tions, have referred to our work in terms
of respect. Now, is our precinct meetings
can only be reported, just as the mems
meetings are, our work will be vastly aG

At ACHEO FOR
THOUSANDS,
The Sterling Furniture
COmpany's Big
Debt.
WALTERS $4,000 BILL
To Protect Itself, the Carpet
Company Tied Up What
Was in Sight.
HAD TO PAY A JUDGMENT.
No Intention of Embarrassing the
Affairs of the Furniture
Concern.

The Sterling Furniture Company hiss
been attached for 500, 900 and the balance
on a $500 judgment due to Dunno &
McPike for a client who was injured while
in the service of the firm.
The attachment was levied by D. N.
E. Walter, the carpet firm, with
whom the Sterling Company has dealt for
years. Yesterday E. s. Heller, attorney
for the firm, learned that balance of
$500 was due on a judgment of $500 and
would be paid. The Sterling Company
owed the Walters $4,000 and as Heller
had learned that the Sterling Company
was running behind rapidly, so to pre-
vent the payment OF the $500 and to re-
tain, as he said, the money of the strug-
Cling firm for the benefit of all the cred
itors instead of only one he at once sued
for an attachment and had the firms
money tied up.
This afternoon the directors of the
Sterling Company will meet and consider
what will be done under the circumstances.
r. G. Davis, president of the company,
refused yesterday to say anything more
definite than that an attachment had been
levied. 1--WE do not know anything about
the case" he said, Except that there is
an attachment. What we will do cannot
say, nor can. say just why the attachment
was levied. We will meet tomorrow and
consider the matter"
The Walter Company disclaims any in
tention of injurlng the Sterling Company.
One of the members of the firm said yes
terday that the levying of the attachment
was only to protect such debts as were
owing. 1--WE do not desire to embarrass
the Sterling Company in any way" said
one of the Walters yesterday. I'VE have
carried them on our books for a long time
and we would carry them longer only we
feared that, what with this paying of
judgments and the accumulation of debts,
we would have big loss on our hands
unless we protected ourselves. 1t was for
this reason we sued FOR the attachment"
The primary idea in levying the attach.
ment at this time was TO prevent the pay
ment of the balance due on the Judgment
received by Dunno Il McPike. This money
is now effectuaEly tied up and the affairs
of the Sterling Company are in allegiance.
They are said to owe about 100000

ARE NO LONGER ABUSED
Owing to "The Calls" Exposure,
"Drunks" Are Carried, Not
Dragged, to the Lookup.

THE Calls exposure of the methods
used in handling 'drunks" at the Califor-
nia-street Police Station has, to a certain
extent, resulted in rapid reform. Men
taken into the station in an unconscious
state of intoxication are no longer dragged
across the floor and down the flight of
stairs leading to the lookup, but carried,
as they always should have been.
1t is also safe to assume that in the fu-
ture unconscious ''drunks'' Will be suffered
to sleep off the effects of their debauch and
will not be subjected to kicks, hair-pulling
or ear-twisting in ali endeavor to procure
their names in order that they may be
properly registered.
The Jail is still in its old condition and
the stinted quarters are nightly crowded

hoped that in the near future the Super
yisors will zee fit to enlarge the Jail and
provide comfortable quarters ample
enough to accommodate all who may be

Desperate Row in a Saloon.

Frank Kormiski's saloon on Lorust
Avenue, Centralia, was the scene of a
desperate fight among a crowd of
drunken Polanders from that place
and Mt. Carmel Thursday night, in
which knives, bottles and black jacks
figured. What started the row is not
known, but it was lively one, and
when the smoke of battle cleared
away there was a number of busted
craniums, and battered anatomies.
The most seriously injured was John
Boscavage, who was cut with knife,
the wound extending from point on
the forehead, just above eye, down
clean through the nose, across the
mouth and ending in his chin, which
was gashed open. DIR. Gwinner
dressed him up. The whole gang
were arrested and taken before Justice
Laughlin, who bound them over for
court. The interior of the saloon
looked as though it had been run
through Kansas cyclone.
