WOMEN JUMP TO DEATH.
tersOn BLOCK at Omaha When the
Building Caught Fire.

Omaha, Neb., March 22-Compara-
lively insignificant in material de-
struction, but appalling in its harvest
of death and suffering, was a fire that
partially destroyed the Patterson
block at Seventeenth and Douglas
streets yesterday afternoon Two OF
its victims have already passed away,
one more is not expected to live and
about 20 others are suffering from
broken limbs and burned and LAGER
ated flesh. Mrs. Thomas Taylor and
Mrs. Anna SchameI were the two who
lost their lives.
About 20 members of the women's
lodge Of Macca bees were attending a
committee meeting in the waiting
room in the front of the middle of the
building on the same floor They were
unconscious Of danger until a janitOr
threw open the door and told them to
get out before the flames cut them of.
The warning came too late. The fire.
swept through the door and down the
single stairway. Those nearest the
door fed through the binding smOlfs
and reached the street with hands and
faces burned and blistered. The rest
faced a solid wall OF flame There was
a FIRE escape at the south front of the
building, but not one Of them seems
to have thought of 1t. They rushed
panic-stricken to the windows through
which the smoke was already pouring
in suffOcating pUffs The fire was
scarcely a foot behind them It caught
their clothing and scorcaed their faces
with increasing intensity

FEAR OF A MOB.
Moore, the Alleged SIurdrr.r or His Five
Children, Hurried Ont Of UutchIn-
son Dy the Omc,r.

Hutchinson, Kan, March 22.-The
excitement here over the brutal muir
der Of the five Moore children was
started afresh by the fading of the
Ratchet with which they were killed.
After crushing their skulls the weapon
had been dropped carelessly by the
side OF the bed. In removing
the burning debris from the chill
dren's bodies the firemen had covered
up the hatehet 1t was still clOtted
BY blood when found. The murderer
was slipped away 10 Mcpherson by
the sheriff TO avoid a possible lynch
ing, and If this had not been done
there would probably have been trou-
bic. Mrs Moore had an interview in
private with her husband Monday
night. Since then she has declared
he is innocent It is believed he has
intimidated her by threats The evil
dence against Moore is complete.
There is not a possibility of a dOu bt
that ne deliberately crushed his chill
dren's skulls, cut their thrOats and
then fred the house. The motive for
his so doing IS still uaexDlainable.

CENTURY OLD WAR CLAIMS
The Congress just ERdes Settle some
Big Accounts OF Ions
standing.

In IFS, when France came TO the aid
Of the colonies. the new republic guar
anteed TO the decaying empire, by sol
emn treaty. that the United States
would make common cause with France
in any war against Great Britain
France performed its part Of the bar
gain and assisted the United Ststes to
secure independence
In 1898 war between France and
Great Britain broke out. The United
States did not aid France, and that
country, Justly taking Offense, equipped
q feet Of privateers which played dis
astrously on American commerce. In
1890 a settlement vas reached. France
gave up it's claims against the United
States and this country yielded the
claims Of this country for the damage
lone by French privateers.
It was a curious settlement for the
United States nd itself Of national
claims of France by giving up a batch
of individual claims against France.
OF course it was expected this country
would pay these individual claims, but
It didn't.
The claimants Lived and died and their
GeSce DQaLlS anu assign 4luH44lEu
their claims against the government
From 1892 until within few years con
gress has refused payments. Now the
claims are all in the hands Of sPecu-
latOrs and third parties Of the third and
fourth general ton. and most members
believe there is not an honest claim
among the whole lot. Eight years ago
congress made 4 beginning by paying
$500. O95 worth Of these relics Of the rev

ers argued for In vain. More than 80
congressional committees have pre-
sented favorable reports on these
musty old papers, which have also been
sdjudieated by the court Of claims. Ten
years ago a French sPOliatiOn claim
was worth about five cents on the dol
lar. To-day, of course. they are at par.
The highest individual claim is for S4s,-

THEFATHER ACCUSED
John Moore Charged with a Terri
bic Crime at Hutchinson, Kan.
His Five Children Were Murdered While
Asleep and the House Then Set on Fire
Alleged Slayer Acts In an In
different Manner.

Hutchinson, Kan, March "A
fendish crime, similar to the recent
Gilbert murder in Clay county. Oc-
Cured here yesterday morning Five
children were murdered by their
father while sleeping and the house
afterward burned over them. The
children were: Carl Moore, aged p;
Mary, aged ten; Pearl, aged eight;
Charlie, aged seven, and Lee, aged
three years, all the children of John
a. Moore. Yesterday evening, after
the close Of a cOrOner's inquest, Moore
was arrested upon the charge of MUIR
dering the children and is now in Jail
At two o'clock yesterday morning the
house on East Tenth street, where
Moore and his family lived, was partly
destroyed by fire. When the fire was
gotten under control and the fremen
entered, Moore's five children were
found dead upon a bed on the floor.
Their bodies lay side by side, Just as
they would be when sleeping. The
lower parts Of their bodies were badly
burned
During the day the belief spread
that the children had been murdered
before the house was burned. At first
the only evidence Of this was the fact
that the children had not moved in
their bed and the presence Of blood
upon parts Of the bed. An inquest
was held in the afternoon which de-
veloped the fact almost beyond a dou bt
that the children were murdered by
the father. Before the inquest phvsi-
clans made an examination Of the
bodies In the skull Of each was found
fracture made by a heavy blow by
some blunt instrument With one ex-
ceptiou. each child also had a c.lt IN
the neck, evidently made by a knife.
This evidence was produced by the
physicians at the inquest
The fathers story told before the
coroner was that he slept in the next
room to the children. He accOun ted
for the fire BY saying he left a lamp
burning in the children's room and
that IL had exploded Moore talked
indifFerently abOut the affair. He
said he was awakened by the smoke
aud rushed outdoors. He was about
Is minutes recovering from the effects
Of the smoke and gas He then awak-
ened a neighbOr who lived about 20
feet west on the next lot. He did not
try to get the children out, as the FIRE
had too much start When others arr
rived be could not tell where the chill
dren were sleeping. No one else was
at the house, the mother having gone
out to nurse a sick woman.
Moore's testimony was given before
he had an intimation that IL was
known that the children had been
murdered He said that when he saw
- ~ -
went to his wifs's fathers and stayed
until morning. When the doctors tes-
titled that the children had been muir
dered, Moore gave close atten ton, but
his cOuntenance did not change. Once
or twice he sneered at the evidence.
Although not under arrest, he was
closely watched during the trial. He
made no attempt to get away. When
the verdict Of the corOner's jury was
brought IN, charging him with the
crime, he acted as Indifferent as be-
fore. He refused TO talk after the
trial
