I'm view OF the steps now being taken by
the secretary Of state for the organization,
in New York, of central Headquarters
with the cooperation of the American Ma

of Cuba and the probability that it will

Though the medium of the press that the

A FISH TRUST.
Syndicate Organized to Control the
Lake Catch.

Lake Catch.
Chicago, Jan. 3.-All the fish caught
In the great lakes and sold throughout
the United States or elsewhere are to
be handled by an English syndicate.
This syndicate, which has capital of
$4,000, 900, has secured control of the
business of the 20 corporations and
firms doing business on Lakes Winni-
peg, Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie
and Ontario and the hundreds of small
er bodies. of water in the west and
northwest. Its business will be handled
as systematically as that of the cor
poration now controlling the sugar re-
filming industry, and it's control of the
market will be even more absolute.
The combination will distribute
about 150,0o0,0OO pounds of fish annual
~ at the outset, but it claims that this
quantity will be greatly increased after
the concern has systematized it's bust
ness. The London company will con-
troll all operations of the concern, but
headquarters will necessarily be estab-
lished in the United States. Cold stor-
age plants will be established in New
York, Buffalo, Erie, Cleveland, San
dusky, Toledo, Detroit, Chicago, Mil
waukee, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Pitts
burgh, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth.
Kansas City, St. Louis and Denver. In
addition, there will be the necessary
freezing plants at all stations on the
great lakes bordering on the United
States, as we'll as on Lake Winnipeg,
Canada. By controlling the output and
preventing waste, the combination
claims it can sell fish in larger terri
tory than they are sold now, and can
sell them cheaper than any body else.

PERISH BY FIRE.



Lose Their Lives.
New York, Jan. Six members Of
one family were killed by flames and
smoke in fire that occurred early Sun
day morning in Jersey City. The dead
are: Adolph Reich, AZ years old, the
father; Emma Reich, AZ years old,
mother; Title. Reich, % years old; Ida
Reich, IS years old;. Albert Reich, II
years; Gustav Reich, eight years. Scy-
eral others were injured, and it may be
that another member of the sill-fafed
family will die. He is the 19-year-old
son, and his body is covered with
burns. John Conway, chief of the Jer-:
sey City fire department, was very bad
ly burned. He fell through burning
floor, and was rescued with difficulty.
Henry A. Reich. II years old. managed
to make his escape from the house with
bad burns on the neck, face and hands,
but he is not seriously injured.
Adolph Reich's home was at 317 Ger
mania avenue, near the Hudson county
boulevard, in the Hudson City district.
He was real estate agent and we'll to
do, living in a pleasant house of three
stories. 1t is believed that the fire
broke out from heater in the base
ment, and it worked its way up to the
third floor, where the sleeping apart
ments of the family were located.
Henry Reich said it was late when the
family retired, the evening having been
spent in entertaining New Years call
ers. Early in the morning he was
awakened by shouts. Running into the
hall he saw the smoke and flames in
the lower hall. His father was there,
and they managed to get out of the
house in4 their. night clothes. Young
Reich ran down the streets and gave the
alarm. When he returned his father
was nowhere to be seen, but one of his
brothers, Sigmund, was there, badly
burned. He was taken to neigh boring
house, where he said that some one had
awakened him, and that he had jumped
through the binding smoke and flames
down the staircase and out into the
open air.
Several engine companies responded
promptly to the alarm and ten minutes
later the fire was out. Then beganet the
search of the house. The rays from the
firemen's lanterns disclosed three
charred bodies against the wall at the
foot of the stairs. They were those of
Adolph Reich, his daughter Title and lit
tie Gustave. The father had fallen upon
the daughter and his son was in his
arms. They were burned almost beyond
recognition. In the basement of the
house the searching party stumbled over
the remains of Ida and Albert, two
blackened corpses with arms inter
twined. Portions of the limbs had been
entirely burned away and the faces
were horribly distorted. The mother
was found in the dining-room. She was
but slightly burned. Her face showed
no look of pain. She undoubtedly died
from suffocation. The bodies were sen.
to the morgue.
