On Franklin Street.

The scenes enacted on the Franklin
Street side of the hotel, while lacking
the tragic interest attending those whers
the flames were fercest, were yet graph
ic enough.
Fair women, with bags, satcllels and
wearing apparel in their arms. rushed
down the stairs and out into the streets.
There was no panic among them. and
it was a strange sight to see their bright
faces minging in the crowd OF bsGrimed
fre1nen and eager. excited men.
1t was shortly after all of the guests
had gotten safely out that the only Incl
dent, in the nature Of d panic. occurred
\ curious crowd had gathered in the
corridor leading to the palm court. and
were gazing into the court trying to
p!erce the dense darkness beyond. Sud
denly there was a deafeninG crash. fol-
lowed by exciting shouts The crowd
surged madIy for the doors. and the re-
port spread that the east clock tower had
fallen No one was hurt, however, tho

THE DANGEROUS WALLS.
They Caused Suspension OF street'ear
Traffic


Captain George Ainslie. as counsel Tor
the Richmond Passenger and Power
Company, appeared before Police Justice
Crutchfield yesterday ana stated that
the Niain-Street wall of the jefferson
was IN a dangerous condition ana likely
to fall at any time into Main Street,
where the cars Of his company are run
ming. He also stated that as the wire
OF the west-bound track next to the no.
tel had been cut. the cars were simply
rolling past the hotel on the down-grade
and SO were In peculiarly unprotected
condition. as In the event OF anything
happening the cars could not put on ex-
ira speed In the hope Of escaping. The
east-bound track wire was not cut and
the cars are running up tho grade past
the hotel all right.
Justice Crutchfield at once had a war
rant served on Mr.. e. B. Williams, a d.
rector Of the Jefferson Hotel Company.

president from the city. He also sum-
moned City Engineer Cutshaw. City At
torney Pollard and Fire Chief Fuller. all
three of whom were soon present.
Colonel Cutshaw stated that ne had
personally examined and Investigated
the condition OF the walls on Main and.
Jefferson Streets. and that. in his opin-
ion, q high wind might throw these walls
over into the street He stated that ths
street-cars and all traffic. pedestrian. and
vehicle should be stopped and the streets
barricaded
This opinion was put in writing and
presented to Justice CrtftchfieId Upon
its receipt he sent for the Chief OF Po-
lice and ordered that the streets be bar
ricaded and all traffic stopped Justice
Crutchfield also ordered that the compI-
ny pull down the walls at the earliest
possible moment

There were, OF course, the inevitable criti-
cisms that follow a failure, and many
knew better how the fire should have been
fought than did the tIremen. but the BRAY
cry shown by the latter was realized and
they were given credit for it. even by
those who thought their efforts misdircct-
cd.
The guests seemed TO realize that their
personal loss, great as it was in some in
stances. was completely oversladowed by
the great misfortune that had befallen
the hotel management and the city Of
Richmond. They were not SO much dis
posed to con,nliserdte themselves, bat
everywhere could be heard expressions Of
deep regret that the beautiful hotel should
have been burned.

MERCHANTS MUST
PAY TRIBAL TAX,
Judge Townsend Decides That Ex-
pulsion May Follow Refusal to
Do So-Many Are Affected.

Ardmore. I. T. Dec 1s.-In a lengthy
opinion handed down to-day in the United
States Court Judge Townsend holds that
intercourse Laws regulating matters be-
tween Indians and noncitizens are in effect
in Indian Territory.
The decision means that persons doing
business in the Territory must pay tribal
taxed or be subject to expulsion as intrud-
ers and their place OF business closed.
The decision affects hundreds of nonciti-
zen merchants and means increased reve-
nue. to the tribal government.
The intercourse laws were contested by
noncitizens on the ground that they were
obsolete. having been passed by Congress
in 1852. Judge Townsend stated that the
intercourse laws were never intended to
apply to conditions in this country as they
exist to-day. and it was never contem-
plated that 5000 white people should be
within an Indian reservation.
Judge Townsend dissolved the Injunction
formerly granted to the merchants re-
straining the Indian police from closing the
stores.

VACCINATION ORDER
CAUSED TROUBLE.
School Children Reinstated Imme-
diately After Dismissal
Parents Indignant.

An ORDER OF the BeIlevflle School Board
recurring all Of the pupils Of the public
schools of the city to be vaccinated was IN
force Yesterday morning for about Two
hours Several hundred children were turned
away.
Then the Bellevilfe Board OF Health held
q special meeting, at which it was declared
that the danger Of an epidemic Of small
pox was not apparent, and the order gwen
the School Board for compulsory vaecina-
ton was recalled. A counter order was I'M
mediately made by Superintendent OF
Schools Updike. and this morning all Of the
children who were turned away yesterday
will be received again into the schools.
The vaccination order has caused more
trouble to the authorities Of Belleviile than
any other order ever promulgated by tne
School Board. The order by the Schooi
Board was made compulsory by the Belle
willie Board Of Health. although several OF
the members were against the order. This
order was made on November Is, but was
extended twice.
yesterday morning without vaccination cer-
tificates. or who could not produce scars 10
prove they were ~vaccinated. were turned
away from school. In several Of the rooms
Of the Belleville High School there were
not enough children to fill the classes.
AS the children were sent home. tho
fathers were advised. Indignant heads OF
families gathered in groups and discussed
the best method to get the order rescinded.
The general indignation resulted in a spe-
ecial call for the Board of Health. which.
after an hours discussion. decided that
there was no danger Of an epidemic o.
spallpox and ordered that the School Board
rescind the vaccination order enforced in
the pubic schools. Superintendent Updike
sent messengers to the various schools
countermanding the vaccination order.
