NEW INVENTION
 FOk T,!1!uI pT1,!a1!uGING FIRE
Birmingham Man lnvents Appar-
 atuS to Protect Nozzlemen.
CAN GET CLOSE TO FLAMES
Device is in Appearance Something Like Small House, Which Gan be Moved in Any Direc-
 ton With Ease

Raleigh, N. C.. March 8.-(Special.)-7lt was announced to-day that as result of the terrible fire here last week, when more than a hundred thousand pounds of tobac- co was destroyed for lack of protection from the heat for the nozzlemen of the fire department, P. H. Lewis of Birming- ham has forwarded to the patent office at Washington drawings and model for freman's shield, which will enable fremen. especially nozzlemen, to get close to fire and throw water where it Is most needed without suffering from the terrific heat.
 The device consists of two sections, ar ranged so as to fold in the middle, and so as to be easily handled. These sections fas- ten together with a clamp that can be cas- fly handled and when put together they form a small fire-proof house on wheels, giving sufficient room for two men inside, where they are fully protected, and the house is so light that 1t can be easily rolled about in any direction, at the same time keeping the nozzle trained on the burning building. The front is arranged with a hole in the center, through which the nozzle extends. and which is just large enough to give free play to the nozzle without letting in much heat.
 Snal dows
 Above this hole and on either side, just at the height of a mans eye, two eight by ten inch isenglass windows are pro- vided, so the firemen can always see just what they are doing, and yet be fully protected. Half of the top is covered to keep off the falling sparks and firebrands, and wide fanges on either side protect the rear which is open. The device Is con structed of two thin sheets of metal riv- cited together, between which is packed half-inch layer of asbestos fibre, giving fire-proof and non-conducting wall. The whole device weighs less than 100 pounds, and as 1t is made in two sections, which fold up almost flat, it gives very little ad- dftional load to the horses in going to the fire, and is easily handled by the firemen themselves when they are inside.
 MT. Lewis has patented two devices pre- vious to this. One was a cinder protector for railroad trains which met with the highest approval from engineers, and a car coupler that was used by some roads. His people still reside at Birmingham, and he has numerous relatives throughout AL abama. In this state he Is in the photo graph business, and has number of branch establishments throughout the state.
 The plans of the model were drawn by Messrs. Pearson and Ashe, of this city, who are the architects for the new Fidelia club at Mobile

the keeper of the presidents confidence. [ have no doubt, however, that the president would prefer free trade with Porto Rico. a5 l said, but he probably knows more than he knew when he promulgated that message. and knowing that 1t Is his duty as a man, and as en official to change his recommen- Aahon.'f
 Mr Tfllman drew the inference from these and other remarks that it was the purpose to hold to the theory of protection regardless of the plea of philanthropy and ether questions of that character.
 MT. Foraker denied that there was any intention of disregarding philanthropy. He referred again to the possibility of securing a supreme court decision which drew from Mir. Tillman the remark that he feared the supreme court in rendering its opinion. would acquowledge no other God than its own will"
 Mir Hoar said the thing to do now was to make an appropriation of a sum of money sufficient to relieve the distress Of the Porto Ricans. That course would be definite and there would be no delay nor inhumanity in 1t. He appealed to MT. For aker not to insist upon contrary course and thus 'keep bread out of the mouths Of the starving people for whom he had made such an eloquent appeal by the tedious process proposed by him..
 Inconsistency Pointed Out
 Mir Bacon pointed out what he believed to be the inconsistency of providing for dele- gate in congress from Porto Rico who Is not citizen of the United States and who is to be elected by persons who are not citi- zens of the United States, but who must take an oath to obey the constitution of the United States.
 MT. Foraker contended that this was what had been done in the case of Louisiana, Florida and in many other instances.
 The discussions of the questions of con- rff al 1oxry 4artn iF1 fhn xua q continued until o'clock.
 MT. Hoar made the closing observat ton, in which he took sharp issue with the prin- ctples enuncated by MT. Foraker. He held that the doctrine proposed to be applied to Porto Rico and the Philippines would re- suit in a despotism, and 1t would be none the less' a despotism because it was to be carried into effect by moral men of high civilization.
 At o'clock in accordance with previous agreement the senate took a recess until o'clock for the formal reading of the Alas kan code bill.

Patrick and Jones In Court.

New York, Oct 16.-Alfred Il. Pat
rick and Charles F. Jones. the former
one of the counsel and the latter valet
for the late William NJ. Rice. million
aire, appeared before Police Magistrate
Crane yesterday, charged with COM
plicity in forging the name Of William
NJ Rice to n check for $25.OOO. drawn
in favor of Patrick. on the banking
house of S. NJ. Swenson & Sons.
John II. Wallace, clerk in Swenson
& Co.'s bank, testified regarding the
presentation of the check in question
for certification. 1t was brought into
the bank September oath by David l..
Short and was endorsed ALBERT II.
Patrick Short was told that there
was an irregularity in the name on the
face Of the check and in endorsement
and he went away, returning with a
new check endorsed "Albert T. Pat
rick" Witness kept the first check
presented. but later returned it to Mr..
Short
Wallace says he telephoned to Rice's
house in the meantime, and Jones an
swered that it was his JOnesO mis-
take The drafts were all right and
should be paid. Wallace telephoned
Jones that Mr.. SwensOn must talk with
Rice about the draft. Jones protested
that Rice could not come as he could
not hear well.
Ten minutes later G. Fl. Finely, an
other bank employe. reported to Mr..
Swenson that he had just been told
over the telephone that Rice was dead:
that death had occurred the evening be-
fore at O'clock.
Wallace explained that he intended
to wait information over the telephone
before certifying to the genuineness of
the check.
Hearing was adjourned until to-day.

INTERNATIONAL
COURT SUGGESTED

Washington, Oct. 13.-The Russian
suggestion that the international
court of arbitration of The Hague be
given jurisdiction over the divergen-
cies OF views arising on the question
of Chinese indemnities was submitted
to Secretary Hay by NJ. De Wollant,
the Russian charge in Washington, in
a note on October 3. 1t has received
the adherence of the American tend
ency. and the Russian governments,
thus giving the suggestion the approx
nj of three of the most foremost
powers and strong assurance of its
general adoption. M. De WoIlant's
note has not been made public. 1t
can be stated, however, that it was
the result of extended exchanges be-
tween the French and Russian govern
ments relative to the six proposals in
the French note. 1t expressed approval
of the various proposals, and then
added the new suggestion relative to
giving The Hague tribunal jurisdic-
tion of indemnity in case there should
be divergence of views. Not being a
formal proposition, but merely an in
cident to the approval of the French
note, it has not called for a formal
reply Of acceptance, but the Russian
authorities have been furnished with
a copy of the American reply to the
French note, wherein our approval is
given to the Russian suggestion, so
that it is none the less effective in
giving American adherence to the
plan. 1t is understood also that Aus
tria and Italy, and probably Japan,
look with favor upon The Hague sug-
gestion.
The movement promises to give the
first practical realization to the cars
movement in bringing about the in
ternational congress of The Hague.
Berlin. Oct 13.--The Russian sug-
gestion to submit the Chinese ques-
tion to The Hague arbitration court
is ridiculed by the press, with the
exception of the Voerwarts.
A foreign office official Informed
representative of the Associated Press
who questioned him regarding The
Hague suggestion, that this plan is
impracticable, since the work of es-
timating the damages must be done
in China. Arbitration, he added,
would cause great delay, pointing out
that arbitration was merely Suggest
I'd by Russia"

T.. Ilu,nn's Fruit Grover.

The Illinois State Horticultural So
c:ety will make an exhibit Of fruits.
consisting mainly of apples, at the
Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo
in 1901. The exposition will open
May l and close November l. and 1t
is intended to have the fruit exhibit
continuous, from the opening to the
close. The apples for this show must
come largely from this seasons crop,
and in order to have them properly
represent the fruit interests OF the
state the specimens must be carefully
selected. wrapped, packed and placed
in cold storage until wanted for ex-
hibition. The Horticultural Society
expects that fruit will! be contributed
Tor this purpose by individual grow
ers, horticultural societies and other
Organizations. Proper credit will be
given the grower. the society, and To-
cality by entering the fruit In the
name Of the grower and society the
same as II he were making the exhibit
IN person. and by placards upon the
1ruit when exhibited, giving the grow
ers name. locality and state.
All fruit growers are asked to aid
In the matter Of securing the fruit
from this state. The society will do
what 1t can, but 1t depends upon you,
the grower, to make the exhibit from
Illinois Ruccess The exhibit will be

Tor the purpose of enlarging our for
eign markets for apples, and this is q
subject OF great interest to Illinois
fruit growers. Illinois stands in the
front in the fruit exhibit at Paris this
year. but in order to retain her pres
uge, must continue her work in the
line Of exhibits of fruit and the op-
portunity presented at Buffalo should
not be neglected. Shall the state be
properly represented? This is for you
to decide. You must do what you can.
VIII you Contribute one, two, five or
more barrels Of carefully selected
fruit, and ship it to cold storage in
proper season? Write the secretary,
whose address you will find below,
how much you will contribute and
what varieties, and he will see that
you have paper for wrapping the
fruit and shipping tags furnished you.
Are you interested enough in Illinois
horticulture 70 do this? The commits
sion will pay the freight, storage and
all other charges and place the fruit
on the tables, without any charge to
you. We want one hundred barrels
Of apples from this state and the
amount will be small to each one, If
each does his part.
1t will save expense to the society IL
you will pick, wrap and pack the fruit,
as per the directions which will be
furnished you later but If you find
this will be impossible. write the sec
retary, and some one will be sent to
assist in the work. Not less than ONT
peck of any one variety should be fur
nished; one-half barrel or full bar
rel of each variety preferred. It's not
intended to collect a large number Of
varieties, brt those most generally
grown for market, therefore full
barrel of ono variety will be acceptable

Photographing "reminiscences

Photographing tombstones is a novel
industry which has been instituted by
a colored man of this city who was at
one time a boy of all work in photo
graph gallery. He has recently bfanch-
ed out for himself, and has already es-
tablished a remunerative business
which promises to open up even a wider
field in the future. He visits the yari-
GUS cemeteries with his camera, and
when the day is fair he takes pictures
Of many of the imposing monuments.
After he has developed his plates he
takes proofs around among relatives of
the deceased, and usually finds ready
sale for his pictures. OF course he has
to take chances, for he works entirely
without orders, trusting to sentiment
for his sales. Still, he says. it is very
seldom that he doesn't get an order.
He also has a habit of haunting the
marble works where tombstones are
made, and by striking while the iron
is hot he takes a picture before even
the bereaved relatives have seen the
stone. This is always a ten-strike.-

ROBERTS SEEMS. DOOMED.
Special House Committee Votes Against
the Utah Mormon.

Special House Com mittee Votes Against
the Utah Mormon.
A vote was reached Wednesday at the
meeting Of the special committee of the
House on the case of Representative-elec
Roberts of Utah. The committee was
unanimous in the question of fact, and
also in the ineligibility of Roberts to hold
his seat in the House. Seven of the mem
bers voted in favor of a report to the
effect that the House was within it's
rights in stopping him at the bar of the
House, and the other two favored a re-
port that he should have first been seat
ed and then expelled. Those who voted
for the majority report are: Chairman
Taylor of Ohio, Lands of Indiana, Freer
of West Virginia, Mcpherson of Iowa,
Morris of Minnesota, Republicans, and
Miers of Indiana and Lanham of Texas,
Democrats.
The findings on the fact are as follows:
We find that B. III. Roberts was elect
ed as Representative to the Fifty
sixth Congress from the State of Utah,
and was at the date of his election above
the age of % years; that he had been
FOR more than seven years a naturalized
citizen of the United States, and was an
inhabitant of the State Of Utah.
1--WE further find that about 1878 he
married Louisa Smith, his first lawful
wife, with whom he has ever since lived
as such, and who, since their marriage,
has borne him six children.
THAT about 1885 he married, as his
plural wife, Celia Dibble, with whom he
has ever since lived as such, and who,
since such marriage, has borne him six
| children, of whom the last were twins,
born Aug. II, 1897.
THAT some years after his said mar
| riage to Celia Dibble he contracted an
other plural marriage with Margaret g.
| Shipp, with whom he has ever since lived
in the habit and repute of marriage. Your
committee is unable to fix the exact date
| of this marriage. It does not appear that
! he held her out as his wife before Jan
uary, 1897, or that before that date she
| held him out as her husband, or that be-
fore that date they were reputed to be
| husband and wife.
That these facts were generally known
| in Utah, publicly charged against him
during his campaign for election, and
were not denied by him.
"That the testimony bearing on these
| facts was taken in the presence of Mr..
Roberts and that he fully cross-examined
the witnesses, but declined to place him
| self on the witness stand"

Philippine Commission.

President Schurnan Submits Report of
Philippine Commission.
Here is the plan of government propos-
ed for the Philippines by the Philippine
commission, after peace has been estab-
lished:
L. An American governor to control
the affairs of the entire archipelago, and
to be appointed by the President.
>. An advisory counc11 to the governor,
composed of Americans and natives.
3. A legislative assembly, partly APP
pointive and partly elective, whose acts
shall be subject to the qualified veto of
the governor and the absolute vote of
Congress.
t. Governors to be appointed for the
provinces; and the subdivision of the ISL
ands into small sections, over which
Americans or educated natives will pre-
side.
In discussing the report President
Schurman of the commission said: '"The
motive has been taking account of the
political experiences, as well as the po-
litical aspirations of the Filipinos, to de-
wise a form of government adapted to
them, so as to secure on the one hand
good government and on the other to sat
isfy their aspirations for self-govern-
ment"
