GREAT MINES ON FIRE
BRAVERY OF WORKMAN SAVES
LARGE NUMBER OF LIVES
TreadweH Property Suffers From
Blaze, and Doubt Remains Re-
garding the Fate of
Number.

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. 18.-The great
Treadwell mines on Douglass island suf-
fered from fire Feb IL, and a large loss
of life was prevented by the work Of
volunteers. The steamer Dirigo, reach
ing port this morning, brought partic-
ulars of the fire.
The Alaskan American compressor
building was entirely destroyed. Thirty
eight thousand dollars worth Of stamps
and mill plates and a 120-stamp mill were
saved. More than 100 miners were in the
lower workings and in imminent danger
. of death at the time the fire broke out.
H G. Hall, superintendent of the Mexi-
can compressor, discovered flames issuing
from the compressor.
The firemen confined their efforts to
the mill adjacent to the compressor
building, end though their clothing fire.
quently caught fire, and their hands and
faces were badly bistered, they finally
got the fire under control, after several
buildings had been destroyed. In the
meantime the flames in the shaft had
been burning rapidly. Swans Barkist, one
of the men working on the 300-foot level,
was the first to gain knowledge Of the
five above He shouted warning to the
miners on the 440-foot level, who found
an old gallery communicating between
the new and old workings. After hard
struggle in the smoky, gas-laden levels,
the men reached the bottom Of the pit
in safety.
In the meantime the fire-tad been con-
fined to the compressor building shaft,
shafthouse and nearby mill building.
These were destroyed. When the Dirigo
left for the South it was not certain that
all the men in the mine had escaped, but
the mine officials believe they are safe.

purchase or seizure in order that Great
Britain may command the worlds indus

TALK STOPPED
BY STRATEGY
WAR TAX REPEAL BILL is PASSED
BY UNANIMOUS VOTE IN
HOUSE
MANY SPEECHES ON SHELF
Opposition to Majority Thus Saves
Destruction of "a Straw Man
by Lengthy De-
bate.
LEADERS DAzED BY MOVE
FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
WashinEton. ID. G.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 1S.-The
cleverest strategy in this congress was
exhibited today when the Democrats,
under leadership of James N. Richardson,
OF Tennessee, passed the war tax repeal
bill by a unanimous vote. Forty speeches
prepared by Republicans and intended for
use In coming congressional campaigns
were doomed to unuttered in desks of
their authors. Later they may be printed
IN the Record, but they will not be heard
on the floor.
The imaginary opposition against which
republicans had prepared was shown to
not exist. The house leaders had ar
ranged for a two days debate, but the
democrats announced that they were
ready to vote Immediately for the repeal
OF war taxes. They saiu that any delay
would come from the other side.
Thus the straw man which Republicans
We're preparing to annihilate was knocked
down before they had a chance for a
light All the Democratic minority asked
was a chance to amend the bill so as to
open up tne subject of revision of tariff.
The house leaders had prepared a rule
which forbids all amendment.
They had whipped into line enough
Republican votes to support the rule.
Even Babcock, of Wisconsin, voted for
the rule, explaining that he would try
later to bring up his bllI to take duties
from steel. In SO doing, Richardson says,
Babcock lost the one opportunity In this
congress to get consideration for tariff
The rule was opposed merely by Under
wood, of Alabama, and Ball, of Texas,
who said it was misuse of he power
of the majority which stultitied congress
in the eyes of the people.
1t was soon evident that the rule had
enough votes to make it effective Then
Richardson rose and made his motion to
dispense with debate and put the bill to
an immediate vote. The speaker and
house leaders were dazed. There seemed
to be no answer to the challeng and the
vote was taken, 21o to 0.

CHIN WAS TOO LARGE
BALTIMORE WOMAN HAS ExCES-
sIvE FAT REMOVED FROM NECK.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 1S-Mrs. Florence
Shipley is recovering from remarka-
BILE surgical operation at the University
hospital. Through the agency of the
surgeons knife Mrs. Shipely had large
amount of fat removed from her chin
and neck, reducing its size from that of
a conspicuous double member to one of
very ordinary size.
1t was not vanity that caused Mrs
Shipely to undergo the operation. Had
a reduction for-appearance sake been
the. desired object, Mrs. Shipley would
probably have submitted to the easier,
If less effective, way of being treated
by massage and facial beauty artist.
Mrs. Shipley, however, had no such mo-
tive in view, and it was merely to cor
rect a physical defect, causing much suf-
fering, that she decided to have the fat
removed
The excessive fat beneath the chin had
caused a dangerous pressure upon the
right and left carotid arteries, and the
flow of blood to the brain from the aorta
was impeded. This caused imperfect res
piration, and Mrs. Shipley suffered from
fainting fits.
Four Sits were made in the chm so
that the fat could be removed In spite
of this, however, it is said that there
is every hope that no scar will be left.
The operation has caused much comment
in medical circles and is considered a
remarkably successful piece of surgery.

AKRON, Ohio, Feb. 1S-Thomas w.
McCue, of this city, has invented ma
chine which Thomas Edison declared to
be the coming invention of the age. For
FIVE years Mr.. McCue has been at work
upon an electrical machine which will
make dentistry and surgical operations
of all kinds painless. That he has sue
ceeded has been demonstrated by the
fact that by its means live nerves have
been removed from teeth without the pa
tient feeling any pain whatever.
Mr.. Edison, who frequently visits
Akron, has examined thoroughly the
machine and expects to come to Akron
soon for the express purpose of having
an operation performed upon two mo
lars which have heretofore defled the
dentists.
Mr.. McCue's machine, in effect, short
circuits the pain and prevents it from
reaching the brain. A feat has been ac-
complished which all electricians de-
clared to be mpossible-namely, the re-
duction of the electrical current to the
one hundred -thousandth part of volt.

DEMOCRATS WILL LOSE NOTHING
Crumpaeker Bill to Reduce Southern
Representation Is Doomed.
FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 18-Demo-
Gratis in congress do not anticipate any
further trouble from the Crumpacker
bill to reduce Southern representation n
the house of representatives and in the
electoral college. The election of the Re-
publican caucus Monday night was off,
cially, for Investigation but practically, it
was for shelving the select committee Of
eleven which the rules committee is
asked to appoint, instructed to report at
as early a date as is practicable
The commission is not to be empowered
to go into Southern states to compel at
tendance Of witnesses or to spend any
money on its labors. 1t is not I1eIy that
it will report at an early date or that
the report will receive early atten-
tion at the hands of congress. The ad-
nIinistration is understood to deprecate
any such move as tending to arouse sec
tional hostility and house leaders have
been trying to find quiet place to bury
Crumpackers project.
