FIRE THE WORK OF ANARCHISTS.
Great Holocaust at Paris Not the Re-
suit of Accident


CHICAGO, June 24.-The Post today says:
According to a story which has reached
Chicago from Paris by way of Washington,
the terrible holocaust which wip,d out over
100 lives at the French capital May was
the work of anarchists thirsting for revenge
on the upper classes of France 1t is as
serted that, while the official inquiry into
the circumstances surrounding the catastro-
pho threw little light on the cause of the fire,
the secret service department is working on
a clew that points to an anarchist conspiracy
OF stupendous magnitude. 1t is said the Paris
detectives have not only satisfied themselves
that anarchists were at th2 bottom of the
awful crime but that the leaders who
planned it fed to America as soon as they
had seen with what frghtful success it had
been executed. 1t is also asserted that sew
cral persons are under arrest in Paris on
suspicion of knowing more about the affair
than they care TO tell. member of the
French legation at Washington is said to be
authority for the story.

HENRY 3. STOWE.

Very many Chlcagoans were pro-
foundly shocked and grieved when
they read of the death Of Henry b. Stone,
the late President Of the Chicago Telt-
phone Company. He died ut his sum.
mer home ut NOnlultt. Mass, where
General Sheridan breatheti his Inst, Of
injuries OccasiOned by the premature
explosion Of some fireworks.
The perilOus method which Ameri-
cans have adopted Of celebrating their
iatiOnal holiday has cost many their
lives this year, as In preceding years.
The death Of none Of them Ii as dis.
.ressing or will be as long deplOred as
that OF Mr.. stone. The business and
social circles In which he moved and
IN which he was respected and liked
will feel deeply the loss they have met
with.
Mr.. Stone was best known to the
public as a railroad man Of marked
ability, who played a conspicuous part
in one Of the great railroad strikes Of
the United States. When the engineers
and fremen OF the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy Road, with which Mr..
stone had been connected for ten
years, went out In 1883, he was given
the sole management Of affairs.
The confidence felt by the directors
in his capacity was justified by events.
The contest was long and costly. but,
although Mr. Stone had the most pow
eIful OF all the railroad organizations
10 contend with, he came ont victor.
Eut In the course Of time, wearied by
lis twelve years Of incessant and Ia
bOriOus railroad service. he left the
burlington Road In 1900 and became
the President Of the Chicago Tele-
phone Company. That responsible but
less OaeiNus position he held until the
close of last month, when he left for
the East to meet his death.
Mr. Stone was Il man of exceptional.
~ high business qualifications. His I'M
wearied energy aud determination did
not recognize the existence of Obsta.
Giles. But his natural force was always
under perfect control aud was temper
I'd by constant courtesy. From bust
hess point Of view, as In other respects,
Ills death Is n distinct loss to the city.

THE GENERAL ELeCIRi0 swyMDLE

After having secured a valuable
street franchise on the strength Of the
repeated promise that II would pro-
vide Chicago with a street railway Op.
Grated ON the underground electric sys.
TEN, the General Electric Company has
come to the Council and secured from
that plant body an ordinance permit.
ting II To string overhead wires. 1t
does not matter 30 much just now
whether the council did this to make
the ordinance more readily salable or
simply to relieve the General Electric
Company from the necessity OF keep
Ing It's promises. The fact which
stands out Is that Chicago has been
swlndled In one Of the most impudent
bunkO games ever played.
The strongest reason for granting the
original franchise to the General Elec-
trio Company was the prospect OF hav-
ing the underground system intro
duced. The company declared that the
system was perfectly practicable and
that Its adoption would be OF inestima-
BILE benefit to the city. The new line
would be free from the Objectionable
and dangerous features which have al
ways attended the overhead trolley.
With the system In good working or
der on one line, moreover, its practica'
bility would have been demonstrated
so that the people could demand its
adoption on every new electric system,
and, as early as possible, on every ex-
listing electric line In this city. In every
other city of the country, moreover.
where electricity IL used as motor,
the example of Chicago would be used
In compelling the adoption of the un-
dergrOund system. The deadly over.
IL al trolley as means of intramural
traffic would have been doomed
throughout the country.
Now the General Electric Company
comes forward and declares that the
underground system Is impracticable
on account Of the city's alleged defec-
tive and imperfect sewerage system"
This objection the company was un-
able to find at the time It secured its
first franchise. 1t postponed the dis
cOvery until frontage consents had been
obtained and the franchise had been

~ landed. Then the gang" In the
Council gives II permission to use the
cheaper trolley system. without even
requiring an investigation to prove that
company's assertions are true.
The public has been swindled. Mayor
Harrison doubtless will veto the ordin.
ance. but the gang with It's newly
tested strength. Is likely to carry 1t over
his veto unless the Mayor demonstrates
his manhood Ivy taking up the fight for
the people In bitter earnest and gives
the criminals In the City Council n

orderly resorts, solicitors Of brides and
