Toledo, Ohio.
TEN OF THOSE CAUGHT ARE DEAD,

While Six of the Wounded Are Probably

eight seriously injured, is the result of
the most disastrous fire that ever oc-

through the window of the lower story.
was conscious enough for a moment to
say that at about $3.50 a terrible explo-
sion occurred on the south side OF the
elevator, and that he knew there were
about twenty men at work on the seven
floors Of the enormous building. Besides
those regularly employed at the eleva-
ter the three children Of William J.
Parks were visiting him at the time.
List of the Dead and Injured.
One of these may recover from his
burns. but Grace. a 7-year-old girl, is
burned almost beyond recognition, and
Harold, the third child, has not been
found, being either blown to atoms or
cremated.

HExplosion Created Panic.
At $3.50 last evening the people of
East Toledo were startled by terrific
explosion which caused panic all over
the neighborhood. Houses were shaken
as in an earthquake, and windows were
shattered for blocks around. Those In
the vicinity Of the Union elevator soon
noticed flames bursting from all sides
of the building. 1t was but few min
utes till the fire department Of the city
began the work of rescue, which was
rendered difficult by the terrific heat Of
the fire. The river cut OFF escape on one
side, and there the f1amee seemed to be
less fierce. The families of a dozen men
who were known to be at work within
rushed to the scene, and women calling
for their imprisoned husbands, brothers
and fathers, made a scene indescribable.

DECISION DECIDES NOTHING.
True Meaning of the Action Proposed In
the Case of Dreyfus.

True Meaning of the Action Proposed In
the Case of Dreyfus.
New York, Sept. 20.-A dispatch to
The World from Paris says: Jules Peri
vier, leading member Of the French
bar, explains the present legal status
Of the xDFeyfus case as follows: "Ju-
diciallyy hkyhRinisterial decision to re-
fer the case TO an examining commits
sion a. Eb6GG1decides nothing except the
resiffpy df the Dreyfus dossier in the
[lightSof recent events. The commissions
finding will determine whether there
shall be revision or not. The decision
Is important politically in that it re-
veals and approves the sentiment Of the
country in favor Of revision"
Paris is quiet outwardly. There
seems to be sense of relief because a
revision has virtually been deter
mined upon. But there is great COM
motion among the chiefs Of the army.
They undoubtedly have the disposition
II not the courage to try to prevent a
revision at the eleventh hour by a mill
tary coup d'etat.
M. Cavaignac, who resigned lately as
minister for war and who has cast his
lot unreservedly with the army, Is
pointed to as a possible dictator, but
public sentiment will be a most effective
bar against such designs. 1t has veered
around completely in favor Of revision
and justice, which everywhere is recog-
nized except by two anti-Dreyfus Or
gans.
Esterhazy's promised confession is
awaited with the keenest curiosity,
though no one will believe a word he
says unless he is supported by inde-
pendent testimony.

Items Culled Out for the Benefit OF Our
Own Readers News OF the Past Few
Days Which VIII BE of General Interest
To Michigan People.
Lansing, Mich. Sept. .17-Until re-
Gently Rev. George B. Kulp of Grand
Rapids was one of the leading Method
list Episcopal ministers of the state.
Thursday his parchments were surren-
dered and he was dismissed by the
Michigan conference in session here.
Presiding Elder Graham, asking the
prayers Of the conference, said he had
"a task CT great severity to perform, as
he presented the parchments of Rev.
Mr.. Kulp, who had capitulated to an
unholy infatuation and had recently
fallen from grace. Rev. Mr.. Graham
said he had called upon Rev. Mr.. Kulp
after the publication of the scandal
concerning a woman of his congrega-
ton and had asked for an explanation.
Mr.. Kulp had answered that there was
no explanation to be given. The an
swer was construed by Rev. Graham
as an evidence Of guilt. but he proceed
ed to make an investigation.
IT found evidence" said Rev. Mr..
Graham, "of most damaging charac-
ter, such as appalled, my own heart,
and such as pray God I may never
meet again." The presiding elder pre-,
scented note from Rev. Mr. Kulp to
the conference, which read:
II have sinned and my punishment is
greater than I alone can bear. II there
IL a way back to Gods favor and peace
! want to find 1t. If there are any l
have helped in the past who will pray
for me I will be thankful"
Rev. Mr.. Graham moved that he be
permitted to withdraw, and Bishop
Merrill said it would be recorded that
Rev. Mr.. Kulp withdrew from the con-
ference under charges, which was
equivalent to confession of guilt. The
conference also appointed court to in
vestigate charges against Rev. j. M.
Wright formerly of North Muskegon.

FAVOR EQUAL REPRESENTATION.
Decisive Vote by Members of Michigan
Methodist Conference.

Lansing, Mich, Sept. 21.-At the Meth
odist conference here the question of
equal lay representation in the general
conference was carried by vote Of 1919
to 8. A resolution requesting the bishop
not to reappoint presiding elders who
have served six years in one district
caused such a storm in the conference
that 1t was finally replaced by a substi-
tute expressing the confidence in the
appointing power vested in the bishop.
A resolution in favor Of prohibition
and pledging the conference members
not to vote for any party Of men in
favor Of license law was vigorously
opposed by many clergymen, who de-
clared 1t was time to cease passing res
olutions of this character, which are
not intended to be lived up to. The RES
olutions were adopted, however, by a
decisive vote. The Methodist church in
this conference district shows a falling
of In membership from last year. The
total membership now is 4S,464 de-
crease Of 597 members within the year.
There are IS, All Sunday school scholars,
a decrease Of 223. In nearly all the
items reported by the statistical secre-
tary there was a considerable decrease.
