HOW MANY PERSISTED?
Believed Thirty Persons Were Burned
to Death In Chicago Fire.

Chicago. Oct, 22.LFiye men are
known to have lost their lives in fire
which last night partially destroyed
the plant of the Chicago branch of the
Glucose Sugar Refining company, sit
uated at Taylor street and the Chicago
river. The list of dead will certainly
be much greater than five and may
reach as high as thirty. The estimates
run all the way from that number
down to ten. Only one Of the five men
whose bodies have been recovered has
been identified. The list Is as follows
Dead; Frank Rothenburg, foreman,
skull crushed in leaping from fifth
story: unidentified man, six feet tall,
skull crushed in leaping from fifth
story; unidentified man, small in sta
ture, both legs broken, killed by jump
ing from building; Frand Lawrence,
electrician, supposed to be dead,
known to have been in building and
not seen since: unidentified man, me-
dunn height, crushed in jump from
window; unidentified man, medium
height, head crushed.
The fire broke out with an explosion
IN the drying house, which Is seven
stories in height and stands close to
the main building of the plant, which
Is fourteen stories high. A third
structure Is four stories high. The
two smaller buildings were completely
destroyed and larger building was bad
ly damaged. The fire spread after the
explosion, with such rapidity that 1t
was impossible for the men In the up
per stories of the drying house to
make their escape, and 1t Is the num-
Der of men believed to have been at
work on the seventh floor that causes
the uncertainty In the list or dead.
Some of the employees who made their
escape say that there were twenty
nine or thirty, and others say that
there were not more than ten at work
when the fire broke out. Whatever
the number, all are dead. Four men
leaped from the upper floors and all
met death. The fifth man in the list
of dead Is an electrician, who is known
to have entered the building and was
there at the time of the fire. He is
supposed to be dead for the reason
that all the firemen and laborers about
the burned building say that no man
made his escape from the upper floors.
Frank Moore was working on the
fourth floor and made his escape by
sliding down the water pipe. He de-
clared that none of the men in the
floors above hi mwere able to get
away.
The dryhouse and the other smaller
building of the plant are, mass of
redhot debris, and it will be impossible
to search the ruins for several hours.

THREE BIG VESSELS
OUT Of LOCAL TRADE

Within the last week the skippers
or the big ships which for several
years have been engaged in the Puget
Sound coal trade with these Islands
nave received news which makes then
fsel very badly. II is to the effect that
they are soon to be taken out OF the
trade with their ships and instead OF
being In the coasting business will be
sent wherever their charters call for.
They are all on the berth for ports all
over the world and are sorry they will
have to give up their pleasant rela,
tons with the. people OF this city and
the other Islands.
The vessels just now affected are
the Charles L. Moody. Captain Ras
mussen, the s. d. Carleton Captain
Dad Amesbury. and the ship Florence.
The Moody will leave here next week
for the Sound and will there load 70,
the Colonies. probably loading there
and returning to San Francisco. The
Florence has one more trip to make
70 this port and will then be taken off
and the Carleton will make two more
trips and then go into the Australian
trade. Since they have been coming
here Captains Rasmussen and Ames
bury have made friends by the score
and they do not like the idea OF max
ing the long trips, where they will b.
without seeing their families for many
months at a time.
The reason for the withdrawal OF the
three big ships and several others In
the trade is the coming OF the oil
steamers and the completion OF the
contract for the 100000 tons of. coal
between the Roslyn company and the
Oahu Railway q Land Company. This
