had a checkered career. He was born
in Paris in 1861. He removed to the
United States many years ago, arriving
first in New York City, where he re-
mained eight months. His career has
been rowing one.
From New York he went to Pitts

Levy is the keeper Of a dance hall in
or near Boise, and the crime with which
he stands charged was a particularly
atrocious one. Davis Levy Ono relation
to the alleged murderer), with whom th(
prisoner had had trouble, and against
whom he had made threats, was found
one morning dead In his room. having
been beaten to death after having been
securely bound, so that he could make
no defense.
Levy. now under arrest, disappeared,
in company with two women, from Boise
soon after the murder became public.
This caused suspicion to be directed
against him. especially as he was known
to have made threats against the life
of the murdered man.
Later on the only key that fitted the
lock of the room in which the Head
man had been found was discovered in
the apartments of Levy and then it was
that a warrant was issued for his ar
rest. He was located at Bak,r City,
Ore, taken into custody and returned
to Boise, where he is now carefully
guarded.
Levy denies any connection with the
crime, and declares he can prove an
alibi, but the Boise police insist they
have the right man in custody.

In the Jail the committee found Mrs.

request for a pardon.

MR.. MORGAN FOOLS 'EM
in the of
the Weather

Have you heard how J. Pierpont
Morgan, the New York millionaire, who
was in Butte short time ago, contrib
uted toward the building of the new
parish house of St. Johns Episcopal
church?
No?
Well, that's strange!
It's a standing joke.
Mr.. Morgan, as everyone knows. is a
millionaire several times over--he has
more money than he really knows what
to do with, and his friends have never
denied the rumor that he is Intensely
generous, so generous. in fact, that fears
have been expressed that the mighty
magnate will yet end his days in the
poor house.
~ But Mr.. Morgan fools them all.
He's shrewd. and
He don't care who knows it. So
there!
With Mr.. Morgan in his recent ride
about Butte was Rev. S. c. Blackiston of
St. Johns Episcopal church. this city.
There is no good reason why a clergy
man should not ride with money king.
So he rode.
And thereby hangs a tale
That is sad.
-"
During the drive past the handsome
buildings Of Butte the clergyman. incl
dentally mentioned that his flock Is
building a new parish house. and that
it will be, when completed, an ornament
to the greatest copper camp on EARTH"
Whereat J. Pierp wondered much and
grew inquisitive.
Money needed?
Sure thing, quoth the clergyman. 'Tis
not of record that he used just those
words, but in language soft and chaste
he impressed upon the mind of the
great financier that the congregation
was hard put to 1t to raise the money
necessary to complete the structure.
Ohio, Ohio. said ]. Pierp, and he looked
far into the distance.
Would the congregation allow outside
people. say a New York financier. for
instance. to aid them in their glorious
undertaking?

Glad tears came.

Glad tears came.
The Episcopal rector looked at the
man of millions with a sudden joy in
his heart. Here, truly. was a man after
his own mind, man who would rejoice
in financially assisting in the erection
of the parish house.
Certainly!
And the face Of the man of God was
good to see, for he beheld IN his minds
eye check for many dollars, which
bore the name Of J. Pierpont Morgan,
and which in the marts of the world
would be as good as wheat.
And once more he smiled.

Calmly the grey eyes of the visitor
from the east rested upon the mighty
mountains which surround Butte, and
no one would have suspected for a mo-
ment that the mind of the worldwide
power in the financial world was fixed
on earthly things. AS he drank in the
beauties Of nature and saw the golden
sun, now but ball of fire, sinking slow
ly to rest behind the copper-filled hills.
his face became illumined like the face
of an angel in the realms above.
And he opened his lips to speak.

But he didn't.

BURNING FURNITURE FACTORY
ENGULFs EMPLOYEES,
BURIED BENEATH THE WALLS
Philadelphia the Scene of Destructive
Blaze-Impossbile For Occupants
to Escape-Commerce Street
Piled Up With Dead.
(By Associated Press.)

(by Associated PreSS.)
Philadelphia, Oct. 25.-A fire in which
the police say seventeen persons lost
their lives and many more were seriously
and perhaps fatally injured, occurred to-
day in the heart Of the business section
of the city. The nine-story building at
1918 and 1921 Market street, occupied by
Hunt, Wilkinson and company, uphol-
sterers and furniture dealers and two
unoccupied buildings at 1928 and 1925
Market street, were destroyed. Many
other buildings were damaged and the
loss is estimated to be upwards OF
$500, 900.
The fire started at 10:3O. 1t is sup
posed to have been caused by an expl sion
of benzine or naphtha, which, with other
materials used in the manufacture of
furniture, was stored in the cellar.
The flames shot up the elevator shaft
and in less than five minutes every one
Of the nine floors of the structure were
ablaZe.
Death and Destruction.
There were three hundred and twenty
employees. men and women, at work in
the different departments at the time.
Those on the second floor were the first
to see the flames.
Instantly there was a rush for the
fire escapes but owing to the highly in
f1ammable nature of the material used
by the firm, the blaze spread with re-
markable rapidity dealing death to the
unfortunates as they made frantic but
unsuccessful efforts to escape.
One woman leaped from one of the top
floors into Market street, and was inn
mediately killed. Another was roasted
to death as she was descending the fire
escape in the rear of the building. The
others either jumped or fell from the
fire escape and were killed. Five others
who leaped from windows were picked
up living, but died on the way to the
hospital.
Buried Under Falling Walls.
While the fire escape was filled with
the panic stricken men and women, the
wall collapsed and eight persons are
known to have been buried in the ruins
A few minutes later the front wall fell
inward and it is not known whether any
bodies are under it. If such is the case.
the persons were probably burned to
death before the wall collapsed.
When the f1remen reached the rear of
the building, which faces on Commerce
street, small thoroughfare, they found
the street literally piled up with victims
who had been carried down by the fall
ing wall. These were hastily conveyed
to the nearest hospital
Fire Under Control.
At o'clock the fire is still raging, but

ing at 1917 Market street, as yet uncom-
rleted, prevented the spread Of the flames

day Philadelphia would have probably
witnessed the greatest fire in it's history.
Several business houses on the south
side Of Market street were badly
scorched, but not seriously burned.
