were burned to death, and three men had
narrow escapes from a like fate in a
fire that started early today in the five-
story structure at 339 West 18th street
occupied by the Ganzvoort Livery and
Boarding stables The building was prac-
tically destroyed, together with a shed
used for storing vehicles. Nearby tene-
ments were emptied by a squad of police.
The fire started in truck load of fur
niture in the first floor. John Hyland and
James Kelly, staDlemen. were in the base
ment where they had rooms. Over the
window of the room in which they were
was a stout wire netting. The policemen
pulled this away and drew the men out.

GRANT SAYS PEACE

RETURNING GENERAL DECLARES
NATIVES HAVE BEEN SUB
pUEo AND END OF WAR
is AT HAND.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14.-Speaking Of
condition on the island of Samar, Gen.
Fred Grant. who has just returned from
the Philippines said in an interview;
"Samar is enjoying the first period OF
peace that IL has ever known and l am
entirely satisfied that the inhabitants OF
the island will not attempt to make any
further trouble for our government. NOW
that they have been forced by the stress
OF military operations to cease their hos
tilities. the natives for thel most part
seem absolutely cOntented with the new
order of things. When l first went TO
Samar IL was a case of fight our way
everywhere and protect yourself while
so doing. A soldier could not venture
much out OF hailing distance of even the
conquered towns without being set upon
and k...ed by savage natives.
Now an American can go anywhere
and go unarmed. The Moros of course
wiz commit acts of depreciation now and
again but 80 needs only a strong police
force to hold them in check. A little
trouble may also be expected from the ma
tives Of the Sulu group who are more ig-
norant than those on the other Islands

He WILL NOT
R j N

Judge r. B. Russell. of the Western

justice of the supreme court against chief
Justice T. ]. Simmons. in 1904. He denied
very emphatically yesterday that he had
any such intention, and declared that the
first he knew about such a report was
what he read in the newspapers.
Judge Russell came down from Winder

by Journal reporter. When asked If he
intended becoming a candidate for chief
justice. he said:
Il am not and will not be candidate
for chief justice of the supreme court. /
am not candidate for any office. am
at a loss to understand how such re-
port could have been circulated. / have
not asked for any support from anybody
for any position and l have not secured
and pledges.
II had not heard of my being a candi-
date against Chief Justice Simmons until
read it in the newspapers, and desire
to correct the report and state that do
not intend to be a candidate
The announcement in the Journal Tues
day that Judge Russell was contem-
plating making the race, and that he was
pledging votes in advance created some
what OF a surprise in political circles.
While Judge Russell did not so state it
is understood that he will remain as judge
Of the western circuit for awhile, He
came out of the race for the associate
justiceship of the supreme court made
vacant by the resignation of Justice Lew

and people of his circuit
ST think said Judge Russell that I
could have been elected associate justice

not resist the requests which were made
of me by my friends in my circuit to re-
main with them"
