BLAZE WAS FIERCE
FORMER SUPREME COURT JUSTICE
MITCHELL BADLY BURNED
YESTERDAY MORNING
ABERDEEN RoUsED EARLY
Fashionable Hotel Was the Scene of
a Rapid but Well Controlled Fire
Yesterday Morning, In Which the
Jurist Had His Hands Badly
Burned In Attempting to Extfn-
guish the Flames.

William Mitchell, associate justice of the
supreme court until last month, had a
narrow escape from death by burning at
the Aberdeen hotel yesterday morning
about 4 o'clock Taken i'll during the
night, the judge had arisen and lit
match, which he placed, or intended to
place on brass server on a table near
his bed. A few minutes later he was
again aroused by intense heat, and IN
vestigating discovered the under portion
of his bed on fire and blazing fiercely
Trying to extinguish the flames, the
judge burned his hands badly and failing
left the room in search of help. A tele-
phone message was sent to fire headquar-
tiers, and Assistant Chief Irvine respond
ed with section of the department.
Meanwhile the fire had spread to prac-
tically all the furniture and draperies IN
the room, and was rapidly scorching the
woodwork, but, fortunately, Justice Nit
chell had closed the door behind him
when going out into the hall, and many
of the guests In the hotel did not know
ANYTHING about the fire until breakfast
time. SO quietly did the firemen work on
their arrival.
Justice MItchelFs apartments were
cleaned out by the fire, and his personal
belongings practically destroyed, but
the fire did not spread into any other
of the apartments in the building. Man
agef Lindsey says the fact supports what
has always been claimed for the motel
by it's builders, that 1t is as near abso-
lutely fireproof as a tenantable building
can be made.

field piece for several years, while they
have been expecting one The breech-

Minneapolis company two years ago will
be returned within a short time. Within
sixty days both batteries will be equipped
with fine fieldpieces. p The new gun for

BY MISSOURI REPUBLICANS
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED IN CONVEN-
TON AT KANSAS CITY.
Strong Declaration Against Trusts
and COnEressmen Who Voted
Against Nicaragua Canal.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. May 16.-The repub-
lican state convention was called to order
at 10 o'clock today. For permanent chair
man former Mayor Walbridge of St. Louis
was elected. On taking the chair he spoke
briefly and introduced Nathan Frank of
St Louis chairman Of the committee on
resolutions, who then read the platform.
which was unanimously adopted.
The resolutions rejoice in the fact that
the platform of 1896 has been vindicated
and in the achievements in peace and
glorious victories in war and indorse 1.-The
progressive administration of VIM Nc
Kinley for the blessings that it has bestow-
ed upon the American people in establish
ing the highest prosperity the country has
ever known"
The resolutions favor the maintenance
of the gold standard. and continue:
1--WE favor the extension Of self-govern-
ment to all the people that have lately
come under the protection of this country
as rapidly as they demonstrate their abil-
ity to exercise it. We hold our authority
over them to be solemn trust to be ex-
erc1Sed with an eye single to their fnstruc-
ton, development and prosperity
We are unalterably opposed to all trusts
and combinations in restraint of trade or
having for their purpose in the remotest
degree sitting of competition: and we de-
mand such legislation, both national and
state. as will effectively protect the public
from these evils, and If such legislation
cannot be had under present constitutional
powers, We demand such amendments to
the Constitution Of the United States as
will suppress such combinations.
We favor the immediate enactment of
legislation by Congress as shall make the
seas give evidence that American-built
American-owned and American manned
ships are carrying our foreign commerce.
I'VE condemn the twelve democratic con-
gressmen from Missouri who failed to sup
port the bill providing for the building of
the Nicaraguan canal. and We heartily in
| dorse the course of our republican men,
bers in supporting said measure. whereby
great foreign trade opportunities will be
| opened to the agricultural classes of the
Mississippi valley
The resolutions heartily approve the acts
of Richard c. kerens as national COM
mitteeman and recommend his reelection.
