A TACOMA FIRE
Unfinished Tourist Hotel Burned by a
Lunatic

TACOMA, Wash, Oct 1.-THE tourist
hotel under construction by the Northern
Pacific Land company was burned tonight.
There had been expended on the structure
UP to date 5000, ,000 upon which there was
no insurance. It was the purpose of the
land company to make this one of the
finest hotels in the country, and it would
have cost, completed, over s1,00O 600. The
hotel commands one of the finest sites In
the city, overlooking Puget sound.
September 20 the exposition building
burned, with loss Of $4,000; October 2,
the wooden mills burned, with a loss Of
800 900. These, as we'll as the hotel, were
erected and fostered by the land COM
pany. The coincidence of their destruc-
ton on such closely allied dates caused
much comment, and 1t Is believed to be
the work of an incendiary. The land COM
pany has many friends and few enemies
and the work Is believed to be that Of an
insane person.
During the fire tonight W. E. Kenmore
CT Hook and Ladder Co. No. s, was thrown
from a ladder, and two men fell upon him.
lie was internally injured and may not

The fire occurred In the building mate

by on-lookers that the hydrant was plugged
with earth.
Officials Of the land company say tonigh.
that the building cost as 1t stood $40 900

BRYAN GIVES HIS MITE
TO AID THE CAUSE OF COMMON
PEOPLE
Cuba Being Freed, Attention May Be
Given to the Financial Inde-
pendence of America

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-Mr. w. II. Harvey
general manager of the ways and means
committee, Chicago, is in receipt Of the fol-
lowing letter from Col w. J. Bryan, dated
at Jacksonville:
My Dear Sir: l enclose pledge for
monthly contributions to the cause of bi-
metalism until October 1900, together with
the installmenr for this month. most cor
daily endorse the plan adopted by the COM
mittee and am confident II will result in the
collection of a large fund for the c,rcula tion
of bimetallic literature. Since our fight Is
in the interest of the plain people"-to use
Lincoln's phrase or the common people"
to borrow Bible term-we must appeal to
them for the means Of carrying on the con-
test.
The financiers can contribute large sums
10 support the gold standard because the
monopoly Of money gives them a great pc
cuniary profit. Surely you can appeal with
confidence to the millions who suffer from
a rising dollar and falling prices.
Having brought freedom to Cuba, the
American people can renew the struggle for
the financial independence Of the United
States. Yours truly. WIN. j. BRYAN.

JESSE JAMES JUNIOR
SUSPECTED OF FOLLOWING HIS
FATHERS TRADE
of the Crackerneck District
Arrested and Jailed Without
Formality Of Warrants

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. n.-Jesse
James, Jr, son of the notorious bandit,
Jesse James, Missouris pioneer train rob-
ber, was taken from his cigar stand in the
county courthouse by the police this
evening and is being secreted by the police
authorities. Two other men, whose
names are not known, and whom the police
absolutely refuse to talk about, were ar
rested soon after.
Jesse James, jr., has been under surveil-
lance of the police since the last Of the
many train robberies In the outskirts Of
Kansas City. This was the robbery Of a
Missouri Pacific train near Leeds on Sep
tember oath.
William Lowe, a Santa Fe switchman,
has been in custody since five days after
the hold-up. Lowe Is a native of the
Crackerneck district, just east of the city,
which was made notorious as the hiding
place Of the first James gang. When
closely pressed the James boys, the
Youngers the Ryans and others of the
old gang always found shelter In the
Crackerneck.
John Kennedy, the locomotive engineer
who has been twice arrested before in con-
nection with the more recent train rob-
berry case in Jackson county. is also ma
tive of the Crackerneck. Kennedy and
Lowe and young Jesse James are friends,
and though James has always born good
reputation he has lately been under sur
veillance with the others. The police main
tain that train robbing will not be sup
pressed In Jackson county until there has
been a publication of the Crackerneck dis
triot, and all their work since the last rob-
berry seems to have been in this direction.
Train Robbers Pleas
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Oct lin the GRIM
!nal court today VIM. Hathaway and Jas.
Hathaway pleaded guilty to the charge Of
robbing a Burlington passenger train near
this city the night of August 18th last. Sen
tence has not yet been passed. The three
alleged accomplices Of the Hathaways
pleaded not guilty.
Late tonight It became known that the
police also have In custody Bill Ryan, one
of the most notorious OF the old James
gang. Ryan, like the others, was reared
in the Crackerneck district. 1t was not
generally known that Bill Ryan was in the
vicinity of Kansas City at the time OF the
robbery or since. The police do not state
where Ryan was arrested, but he is re-
ported to have been caught In Oklahoma
Bill Ryan Is about 81 years Of age. In 1881
he was arrested in Tennessee, brought back
to Jackson county and convicted here of
completely in the robbery Of a Chicago and
Alton train at Glendale In 1875. He was sen:
fenced to twenty-five years imprisonment
but soon after his Incarceration the rob-
ber's friends In Jackson county began
working to secure his release, pleading that
he was q broken-down man and could i've
but few years. Finally 1883. these rep
reservations had the effect OF inducing
Governor Morehouse to pardon Ryan and
restore him to citizenship. Ryan at once
came back to Kansas City. burt afterward
he went to the Pacific coast and about a
year ago he was reported to be In Japan.

The plan has been for the Indians to sub

twenty Indians for whom warrants are
out will not remove the cause Of the pres
