TWO DIE IN FIRE
Burning OF Pulitzer Home Proves
Fatal To Women.

New York, Jan. 9.-The palatial
city come of Joseph Pulitzer, pub
Usher of the New York World, at
10 East Fifty-6fth street, was de-
stroyed by fire this morning. Mrs.
Pulitzer and her two daughters,
Misses Edith and Constance
and her 3-months-old child Herbert
were asleep in the house when the
fire started, but all got out in safe
ty. The financial loss is heavy.
Pulitzar was away from home at
Lakewood. The origin of the fire
is not definitely known, but it is
thought to have started in the base
ment through defective electric in
sulation.
Mrs. Pulitzer was the first to dis
cover the flames She was awaken
ed by the ringing of the electric fire
ararm, and, smelling smoke, she
quickly reused the household Be
sides Mrs. Pulitzer ard the chill
dren there were seven servants in
the house.
After the fire was extinguished a
search of the building was made.
On the third floor, the body cf a
woman was found. She was identi-
fed as Mrs. Jellott, the house-keeper.
A valise lay at her side. 1t is be-
lieved the woman tried to save her
valuables, and that in the endeavor
she lost her life.
Another body was found later. II
was that of Elizabeth Montgomery,
the goyerness.
Like the housekeeper she lost her
life in trying to save her personal
property. The financial loss is es-
timated at from S25O,OOO to SEQ, 900.

BRYANS REMEDY
FOR TRUST EVILS.
Federal License For Corporations
Doing Business Outside Their
Home States.

Believing that a private monopoly
is not to be tolerated, and believing
further that a complete remedy can.
not be supplied by State legislation,
Ipropose that a Federal license be
required of every corporation or
gained in any State before it is
allowed to do business outside OF
the State.
While the license would permit a
corporation, so far as the Federal
Government is concerned, to do
business outside of the State in
which it is organized, it should not
impair the right of any State to i'm
pose such restrictions, even to the
point of prohibition, as the people
Of the State deem necessary for
their protection.
The State and Federal remedies
should be concurrent. 1t would
not be safe to take from the State
any power which it now has to pro-
tect its people from outside cor
porations, even though State pro-
lection is not complete, because if
the State remedy we're taken away
the people Of the State would be en-
tirely helpless in case the mono
poles were able to exert a con-
trolling interest over the action of
Congress.
The license suggested should be
granted on conditions which would
make monopoly impossible, and
would be revokable upon the VIC
lation OF those conditions.
The first condition might be that
all stock Of the corporations be
issued for money actually paid in.
This would squeeze the water out
the rock.
The second condition that the
corporation had not attempted in
the past and was not attempt
ing then to monopolize any branch
Of business or the production of any
merchandise.
The third condition that pub
licity should be given to all the
transactions of the corporations by
regular reports.
Other conditions could be added
from time to time, if necessary,

The people are entitled to and

economic evil. There is no reason

ming TO come in at lively rate now,
more than seventy-five bales being re-
ceived Saturday. The cotton crop in this

Corn is very fine. one day last week an
ear of corn from the farm of Capt. j. l..
Manning of Donaldson was brought to the
city which measured eleven inches in
length and eight and one-half inches in
circumference. The corn upon the ear
weighed one and one-quarter pounds.
There were LAO grains upon the ear. For
ty-fve ears of this corn will make
pushe. The ear was an average one and
was not by any means the largest in
Capt Manning's field.
A large quantity of peas. cane,
hay, potatoes and corn will be
made by Laurens county farmers this
year and they will be in good shape this
fan. despite the small cotton crop: The
farmers of this county are learning 20
live at home and raise cotton only as
surplus crop. A few years ago cotton
was the principal crop.

ATLANTIANs SAW A FIGHT.
Eddie Mack, known in Savannah,
Was WOrsted by Pete Ferratti.


Atlanta, Ga, Aug. @.-Pete Ferratti of
Louisville whipped Eddie Mack of New
York in a six-round go tonight before
a swell local athletic club. Several hun
dred enthusiastic sports witnessed the
mill and heartily cheered the winner.
Both men entered the ring at 120 but
the Italian appeared in the best form.
Mack took severe punishment throughout
the battle. He was game to the last. and
wanted the fight TO go on, as did his
seconds, but the club officers stopped the
mill to save Mack from a knockout. The
referee refused to decide the fight but
the president of the club announced in
favor of the Italian, who was as fresh as
in the first round, while Mack was ex-
ceedingly groggy,
A feature of the fight was the attendance
of half a hundred shirt-waist men, clue
members, who, by previous agreement,
left their coats and suspenders at home
and appeared in negligee shirts with belts
and flannel trousers. 1t is believed to be
the first step towards the general intro
duction of the custom here.

AnMoRIEs NOT TAXABLE.
Attorney General Decided That They
Are Public Property.


Atlanta. Aug. 2O-Attorney General Ter
rell has decided that armories are not
subject to taxation. The question was re-
ferre1 to him by the Governor some time
ago on complaints from Richmond and
Chatham counties, where the tax re-
ceivers demanded that the military or
genlzations give in the armories for tax
alton.
The officers of the compa MES refused to
do so and appealed the matter to the
Governor, who asked the attorney general
for an opinion Mr.. Terrell has written
the tax receivers that armories are rated
as public property and are exempt from
taxation by statue. He bases his decis-
ion on section 115G of the political code
which reads, in part, as follows: Each
armory owned and occupied by any COM
mand of said volunteer forces shall be
to all intents and purposes public prop
erty"
