LANGDON BLOCK FIRE

Albert futile, executor of the Langdon
estate, makes, over his own signature, the
following statement regarding the report OF
the electrical experts, employed by him to
determine the cause of the recent fire in the
new block, corner of Main and State
streets:
1.-THE committee, which made an investi-
cation 10 ascertain the cause of the recent
fire in the new Lsngdon building, have
submitted their individual findings in writ
ing to me. One is OF the opinion that 1.-THE
fire started from the second floor and not
from between the floors" Another is of
the opinion that "the fire originated inside
the counter in the Union Mutual Office"
and the other member that "the fire start
ed between the floor, close to the electric
light wires and had been burning some-
time before it broke out" and am unable
to report to you the finding of anything that
is proof to me what was the direct cause OF
the fire.
All are agreed that the electric wiring ap-
pears to have been done in careful man
ner, and according to the latest insurance
rules, they tested for grounds and leaks
and found none; for short currents and
found none. They examined the converter
and leading In wires and found no trouble
and the test Of the voltage showed standard
pressure, and that 1t had been 80 during the
entire night
A further investigation made as the
building is being stripped, and the wiring
exposed, shows the work and material
used to be first class. and all connections

ness to accept the presidential nomina-
ton does not seem TO excite much in
terest among politicians, as yet Gen.
L. A. Collins, eX-consul at London,
high in the Democratic councils in this
country, said to the Publishers Press
representative: Everybody in the
country regardless of party, age or sex,
loves and admires Dewey, but to po-
litical observer it seems pretty plain
that both political parties have their
candidates selected and nothing but
miracle can displace either"
PHILADELPHIA, April 6.--Admiral
and Mrs. Dewey attended concert
here Thursday afternoon, given in aid
Of the families of soldiers and sailors
killed in the Philippines.
After the concert the Admiral and
his wife were driven to the hotel and
there the Admiral, in response to
pressing requests, granted an interview
to nearly dozen newspaper men. He
said he was glad to receive the report
ers but added that he had nothing to
say. At this moment Mrs. Dewey
joined her husband in the reception
room and after introducing her, he
said: "Mrs. Dewey will talk" to which
she replied with smile, that "the AID.
miral has a mind of his own; he thinks
for himself" 'Are you correctly re-
ported to be a Democrat?" After a
moments hesitation the Admiral re-
piled: Eyes, think can answer that.
Yes, am Democrat" "It the Re-
publicans nominate Mckinley and the
Democrats name Bryan for the presi-
dency, would you run Independently"
~ won't answer that question"
WASHINGTON, April g. Washing
ton women are saying: "If George
Dewey is elected President, he would
have nobody to thank for it but his
wife" Washington women certainly
know. 1t has been an open secret
that for several months the Admiral's
wife has been urging her husband to
take an active part in public affairs, for
which his great ability qualities him.
Mrs. Dewey is one of the most ambi-
women. She believes in her famous
husband and thinks that no position is
too great for him.
Mrs. Dewey will bring to her hus-
bands aid, if he decides to become an
active candidate, both wealth and
power. She is rich woman in her
own name, and her family are rich.
Her brother, John r. Mclean, who
obeys her least wish, is the dominant
factor in Ohio Democratic politics. He
would be powerful ally in the fight.
In addition, Mrs. Dewey has been for
years most hospitable hostess in
Washington, and has made innumer-
able friends, many of them politicians
of national fame and influence.
Senator Jones, chairman OF Demo-
cratic National Committee, says: Bryan
will be nominated and elected. The
Dewey candidate will cut little figure"
President Eliot says: ~ regret on
Admiral Dewey's account that he has

DEWEY'S DECISION.

In view OF the dispatches sent out from
Washington announcing Admiral Dewey's
announcement that he would accept the
nomination for President il rendered him,
a JOURNAL reporter Wednesday called
upon members OF the family and represent
tative Republicans to obtain from them, If
possible, their opinion of the matter. The
conceDsus of opinion was that the report
was canard, issuing from the Office OF the
New York World.
His bro hers, Hon. Charles and Edward
Dewey were seen together and both said
they did not believe the report to be true.
When asked his opinion as to which party
the Admiral would affiliate should he run as
a presidential candidate, Hon. Charles
Dewey said he thought it would be with
the Democratic party.
w. I. Dewey, a nephew OF the Admiral
while scouting the probability of his uncle
consenting to run, said in this connection
it was his opinion that if the Admiral did
run IL would be on the Republican ticket.
Hon. B. f. Ffield said he did not believe
the report.
L. w shedd said he thought the report
of Admiral Dewey's acceptance ridiculous.
He said last fall the Admiral could have
run successfully but at present it would be
impossible for him to win.
l.. Bart Gross said he could not believe 1t
possible the Admiral would accept, and
gave as reason for this opinion the sub
stance of a conversation he had with the
Admiral during his visit to Montpelier last
fall. Mr.. Cross said he told the Admiral
he was then the most popular man in the
world and advised him to keep out of pol
itcs. The Admiral said in reply that he
should not enter politics, that he was a
sailor and not politician.
The JOURNAL reporter queried several
other prominent politicians but they, while
scouting the authenticity Of the report, re-
fused to say anything as to their opinions
on the subject.

FELL TWENTY FEET

Fred Bottich, a young man about twenty
two years of age employed az sweeper in
the new Langdon building, met with a
painful and nearly fatal accident this We'd
nesday morning.
He was at work in the rooms to be occu-
pied by the Union Mutual Fire Insurance
Companyand getting too near the opening in
the floor burned out by the recent fire, fell
through, striking on his right side on the
floor below rendering him unconscious.
DIR. p. l.. Templeton attended the injur-
ed man and he was placed in Johonnotts 81
Halls ambulance and conveyed to the
Heaton hospital. On the way there he re-
gained consciousness and attempted to get
up but was restrained.
An examination at the hospital showed
his injuries were less serious than at first
supposed. He suffered from scalp wounds
and body bruises but no bones were broken
and 1t is expected he will soon be able to
about again.
Foreman w. e. Jackson warned Bottich
to avoid the scene OF the accident but the
young man is industrious and having moth
ing to do at the time went about the work of
clearing up the room and met his fall soon
after. Albert futile, executor of the es-
tate, has seen to 1t that everything is done
to provide for the injured man 8 comfort.
