Decision Is Carefully Guarded, but

Nome.
FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
Washington, ID. C.

washington, d. y.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-Attorney
General Knox has submitted his report
on the case Of Arthur H. Noyes to the
president and the cabinet at today's ses-
sion. 1t was announced that the recon-
mendations and the findings would be
made public Monday.
Unless the president sees fit to overrule
the findings of the attorney general, it is
said that Judge Noyes will sever his con.
nection with the federal judiciary Ger
tain it is that he will not return to Nome
Mr.. Knox holds that if he was the victim
Of a conspiracy, the conspiracy was so
well laid that it has succeeded Popular
feeling at Nome is such that the interests
of justice would not be subserVed by
taking Judge Wickersham from the bench
and returning Judge Noyes to that dis
trict.
The administration has been placed in
a predicament by the findings of the San
francisco. court of appeals. If Noyes is
not removed the reflection on the court
of appeals will be so grave as to require
the removal of one or more of It's judges,
even at the expense of impeachment pro,
ceedings. Naturally the department OF
justice hesitates to precipitate such re-
suit. The understanding among those
who claim to have information Is that
reasons of public policy will be urged
for Noyes removal by the president.
The attorney general has been in grave
doubt as to what to recommend. He
has felt that he should not go against
the findings of the California court with
out ample proof that Noyes is the vic
tim of conspiracy. The evidence before
the attorney general is conflicting, and
whatever determination he has reached
is based on the broad ground of public
policy. Great efforts have been made
to keep the findings from becoming public
as there is constant possibility that
Roosevelt may follow his own judgment
and brush aside the decision of Knox.

EIGHTEEN DIE
IN HOTEL FIRE
BIG NEW YORK BLAZE ATTENDED
BY SCENES OF PITIFUL
HORROR
BLAME IS NOT YET FIXED
Large ArmOry Destroyed and None
Knows Whether Late COnf1agra-
ton Across Street Was Due to
Sparks Or Other Cause
GUESTS LEAP FROM WINDOWS

- NEW YORK, Feb 22-For the third
time since New Years day Park avenue,
this city, was the scene of loss of human
ME. First was the collision in the New
York Central tunnel at Fifty-sixth street
and Park avenue; second came the dyna,
mite explosion in the rapid transit SUBJ
way at Forty-first street, and the third
today was a fire which started in the
SeVenty-frst regiment armory at Thirty
third street, and then spread to the Park
Avenue hotel, where eighteen persons
Were killed, and many injured.
This was the worst hotel fire since the
Windsor was destroyed.
The fire was first seen at about 1870 in
the morning in the armory, and in re-
markably short time that building was
afiame from end to end. After the fire.
men had been at work nearly an hour
the discovery was made that the hotel
was on fire. The hotel was crowded
with guests who had come to attend the
festivities in honor of Prince Henry.
More Than 500 persons were in the house.
The fire was confined principally to the
fifth and sixth floors near the elevator
air shaft. About the time the hotel was
found to be on fire the lights went out
and the corridors were filed with smoke
The guests, unable to find their way
through the darkened hallway, jumped
from windows, or ran directly into the
fiame-swept portions of the building. II
is this fact that accounts for the large
loss OF life, although the hotel was NOT
destroyed.
Explosion Adds to Terror.
The fire in the armorry started on the
third floor, on the Thirty-third street
side, where there was a tier of rooms oc-
cupied by different companies of the reg
iment Within five minutes the whole
structure was beyond saving, and ter
minutes later the roof fell in with a ter
rifle crash. There was no one in the
armory at the time except janitor and
his family. They escaped by going
through a scuttle hole in the roof, anc
thence along the battlements on the Thir-
ty-fourth street side to safety on the
roofs Of houses to the east.
Several hundred pounds of ammunition
stored IN the tower of the armory detona
ted in a series Of minor explosions, par
TALLY wrecking the portion of the wall:
near which it was stored. This addet
terror and caused fear of greater ex
plosions to those who were fighting the
flames.
IT was not until o'clock that the
flames were discovered in the Park ave
nue. hotel, directly across from the ar
mory.
Various opinions were given as to thu
origin of the fire in the hotel. The man
ager claims that it was of incendiar1
origin. Others hold that the fire orig
mated from sparks from the burning
armory building, swept by wind in tn
direction of the hotel, descending the air
shaft. which was directly alongside tn
elevator The idea of incendiary orlgI
is secuted by guests of the hotel, and b!

NEW YORK STILL SUFFERS
Great Havoc worked by SIeet, the
Streets Full of Dead Horses and
All Traffic to the Suburbs
Suspended.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22-Mail advices
from Philadelphia say that that city is
completely shut off from electrical COM
munication with the outside world, as
though such thing as a telegraph wire
or telephone wire never existed
The storm is the most disastrous sleet
storm as far as wires are concerned, that
has ever visited that section.
Four persons were killed in PhiladeI
phia during yesterday and last night by
coming in contact with heavily charged
wires. Late last night the street railway
company operating all the lines was COM
PEELED to abandon It's service Hundreds
of linemen are at work clearing the wires
and until they are convinced that all
danger from contact with electric light
wires is past, the officials of the various
telegraph companies will not attempt to
operate their wires.
The sleet storm that struck New York
proved to be the most severe that has
been experienced here for several years.
Telegraphic communication was almost
completely suspended until this evening,
when it was generally restored.
Throughout the day the streets were
rendered nearly impossible by slush,
many of them presenting the appearance
of rivers, the sewers being incapable OF
carrying off the overflow.
The greatest damage was sustained in
Brooklyn, where scores of horses were
killed by contact with live wires, which
were everywhere Frustrated.
More than 100 dead horses lay in the
streets throughout the city. Many of
them dropped from exhaustion and others
fell and broke their legs, and had to be
shot.
The great storm did more damage IN
the suburbs than in the city. The wind
had full sweep and in the towns and VII
lagos of Eastern New Jersey, Long ISL
and and Westchester country, trolley ana
telegraph service was abandoned, ana
the ground is strewn with broken wires
and trees.
