FIRE PANIC in THEArER.
Big Sunday Audience Has Marrow Es'
cane at Cincinnati, O.

| cape at Cincinnati, q.
Cincinnati, O., March 31.-With fire
raging in two floors beneath them and
clouds of smoke binding and almost
sitting Them 1000 persons made their
escape from the Pike opera house on
Fourth between Vine and Walnut
streets Sunday afternoon without the
slightest injury to anyone.
| Deadly fear was in the breast of
every one of the endangered theater-
goers and the slightest confusion would
have started a panic that must have
been attended with great loss of life.
| AS the crowd reached the open air
the excitement, the suppression of
which had saved hundreds Of lives,
overcame several women who tainted
ore the street.
The matinee performance was in
progress before crowd that filed
all the seats and most of the standing
room when the flames were discovered.
The fire started from some unknown
cause in the basement storeroom of tH
Adams Express Company and extended
up thru the first floors of the Adams
express office and Joffee's grocery to
the auditorium.
| The theater Is on the second floor
with two stairways leading to Fourth
street. There is also e stairway from
the stage leading to Backer alley in the
rear. The curtain had been raised for
the first act of Sag Harbor,' by the
Pike Stock company, with Miss Col
Ter and Byron Douglass in the leading
roles. and the play had been in pro-
gress about ten minutes when the por-
4 to-. 1,@{ I1
north aisle were seen to be ablaze.
| With graf presence of mind, Man
ager d. H. Hunt addressed the crowd
in an effort to quiet their fears. and
his staff, quickly taking positions
about the auditorium, began to direct
a general movement toward the exits.
The burning portiers were snatched
from their hansings and quickly
trampled under foot. This prevented
an immediate spread Of the fire within
the theater, but did not materially
lessen the danger. for smoke by this
time was pouring up from the lower
floor, where the flames had gained
great Roadway.
A great portion Of the women fed
without their new Easter hats and
wraps, and the individual losses will
be considerable.
The only thing burned in the audi
torium was portiere, but 1t was so
badly damaged by water that.it will
not be used again this season.
The Pike Stock company was play
ing its closing week Of the season here.
as 1t will open the summer season at
Detroit next Sunday. Manager Hunt
had previously transferred his seem
cry for next week at Detroit from the
building, so that 1t Is safe, but he lost
$4,000 in scenerey that was stored In.
the lower part of the building. The
members of the company saved all
their costumes and baggage.
Thirty six years ago the Pike build
ing on the same site was destroyed by
fire. The damage yesterday was be-
tween $4,000 and 100000, Of which
$4,000 is on the building owned by the
S. N. Pike estate and leased by Powell
Crosley. George Joffee, grocer, loses
$4,000. Among the smaller losers are
the Adams Express Company; Henry
Straus. cigars and tobacco; Martins
restaurant and Billinger's CONNECTION
cry.

Webster's plurality.
In the Fifth.

The fiercest contest of the day was
fought out in the Fifth, and the result
is not at all surprising. Mr.. Dan Ar.
mold, well known young man on the
south side, won easily over all com
petitors. and Anthony Psenicka was
la good second and will occupy seat
in the council during the next year.
Councilman MCGUIRE was third in the
list. Mr.. Wooten's viadhct platform
did not win for him the support that
the question he espoused should have
done. The total vote cast was 312, as
follows.

NEW ANTI-SMOKE LAW
BOARD OF TRADE WILL ASK CON-
GREss TO ACT.
Meeting Of Committee on Manufactures
Called for Tomorrow-New
Cases Today.

The rigid enforcement in the District Of
Columbia Of the present anti-smoke law.
which to comply with, it is claimed. is a
physical impossfbility and works undue
hardship to many, has caused the Board Of
Trade to take the matter up for considera-
ton.
A meeting OF the committee on manufac-
lures of the Board Of Trade will be held
tomorrow afternoon at o'clock in the
board rooms. The committee has drafted a
bill which the board will be asked to adopt
at general meeting Of the members to be
called later in the week or the fore part Of
next week.
Congress will be asked to repeal the pres
ent law and enact new one. based upon
the lines laid down in the bill that the
Board of Trade will present. The bill, in
brief, provides that the District Commits
sioners shall find the best methods obtain
able for the prevention Of smoke and re-
qure the use Of those methods in all large
buildings of the District.
One Company Has Thirty-Five Cases.
Mr.. Lindley E. Sinclair Of the Washington
Traction and Electric Company was ar
raigned in the Police Court this morning on
thirty informations, charging a violation
of the anti-smoke law at the company s
power houses on different dates since Feb
ruary l. A plea of not guilty was entered to
each charge and jury trial demanded.
Mr.. James b. Lackey, secretary Of the
company, asked that a day be set for the
trial, saying that former Judge c. c. Cole
and ]. ]. Darlington had been engaged to
represent the company. 1t was decided that
the cases would be heard Tuesday. The
company recently forfeited $500 collateral
on twelve different charges, $25 in each
case, and the fact that they demanded trial
by jury today on thirty-five cases would
make it appear that they intend to contest
the validity Of the law.
Oscar w. White, owner of an apartment
kcuse at 12S and 13O c street northeast was
acquitted by jury in Judge Scott's court
this afternoon of four charges of violation
of the anti-smoke law. Mr.. White con-
tended that the building was used for resi-
dence PURPOSES
From District Building Roof.
In the course of the trial one Of the health
department inspectors was asked where
they stood when they saw the smokestacks
of the different buildings. The answer was
that they stood on the roof Of the Disl, - !.
building. Mr.. White said that his building
was over a mile from the District building
and that possibly there might be some
mistake.
Mr. James l.. Pugh. jr, the assistant
city solicitor, said it would be a good plan
II the jurors now serving in the Police
Court would pay visit to the District
building and view from the roof the smoke
stacks of some Of the buildings. Judge
Scott was also in favor of the plan, but
said If they went 1t would be as indi-
v1duals and not as jurors serving on a
case. number Of the jurors expressed a
desire to visit the roof of the District
building, and during the recess hour a
number Of them viewed the city from that
point.

AFTER A LONG CAREER.
Death of B. F. Stevens, Dispatch Agen,
at London.


cablegram received at the Navy De-
partment this-morning from London an
nounced the death Of B. F. Stevens, for
more than a quarter of a century the
United States dispatch agent, at Trafal-
gar square. London. Mr.. Stephens has
been in ill-health for long time.
There Is probably no single official in the
government service so well known to Off
GERS Of the diplomatic and consular service,
officers of the navy and officers of the
army on foreign service as the United
States dispatch agent at London.
The reason for this Is the fact that that
official Is the medium of communication Jbe-
tween the departments at Washington and
all their representatives In Europe. Asia.
Africa and South America and all outlying
settlements. This ONCE has been filled for
many years past by Mr.. Stevens. His OFF,
eial address, stevens. Trafalgar Square.
Charing Cross. London" Is as familiar as
household words to all officials OF the
United States government having foreign
correspondence Moreover, his office In
London was also made the headquarters OF
the majority of Americans travelling on the
continent.
This was particularly the case with
and unable to secure funds to return home
without assistance. To all such he re-
sponded generously. and was universally
known as "a friend in need" Consequent
ly there was a general air OF sadness in
the uptown departments today On the re-
ceipt of information Of the death Of Mr..
Stevens at London last night.

OPERATIONS IN MORONG.
Advices Received From Acting Gov
Wright.

Secretary Root today received a cable
message from Judge Wright, acting gov
ernor Of the Philippines. in response to a
cabled inquiry respecting an alleged out
break in the province of Morong. Judge
Wright said that there had been no fresh
outbreak among the natives Of Morong.
but that little trouble had been occa
stoned by few insurgents who had beer
chased across the line by the military op
Grating in an adjoining province.
Governor Taft has received the following
cable dispatch from Acting Governor
Wright of the Philippines in response to in
quiries as to recent reported military re-
verses:
THE facts are Bells operations in La
guna drove band Of insurgents in the Mo-
rong about twenty-five miles from Manila
in airline. Small band Of ladrones driven
from Cavite by contabulary Joined them.
Twenty-Five constabularies under native
sergeant attacked them. but on account Of
having only fifteen rounds OF ammunition
each soon exha it and were forced to
retire without loss.
Assistant Chief Atkinson Of constabulary
with reinforcements Immediately took
charge and drove the band, with loss to
latter, into Laguna. Inhabitants of Rial
province giving information and assisting
us as much as possible. Flories governor
Of province). with municipal police. Joining
in pursuit There are not 300 arms in the
hands Of insurgents and ladrones in en-
tire Luzon Island today. This number re-
duced early by surrenders captures or
casualties. Constabulary with aid of Trias
governor of Cavite) and native police,
during the last two weeks have routed
ladrone bands existing in Cayite for many
years, capturing and receiving by sur
render over 100 arms.
The most important feature is sentiment
among inhabitants hostile to ladrones and
insurgents. All other organized provinces
quiet Situation never so good since Amer
lean occupation, and very encouraging, not
withstanding persistent attempts to create
contrary impression.
Gov Taft presented the dispatch to the
House insular committee today, when ques-
toned on the reported reverses.

AFFAIRS OF KRETOL COMPANY.
Choice Of Manager Formally Endorsed
bv the Directors.

A good many of the stockholders Of the
Kretol Chemical Company called at the
offices Of the company, 1924 F street. today
in the effort to obtain information about
the affairs Of the concern. The legal pro-
ceedings begun here and In Alexandria to
have the company placed In the hands of
receiver have naturally aroused the fears
Of the stockholders. a large number OF
whom are women. The affairs Of the COM
pany. it is asserted, have been for some
time approaching crisis, the expenditures
continuing to exceed the receipts.
AS stated In yesterdays Star. a meeting
Of the directors was held several days ago,
and w. ]. Ford was made general manager
and was assigned the duties which had
been performed by F. w. Brown, the
secretary, The latter was practically shorn
of all authority.
Another meeting Of the directors was
held last night, and as some doubt had
been expressed relative to the legality of
Mr.. Ford's election the action of the pre-
vious meeting in this respect was ratified
1t Is believed that the product of the
company has large commercial value,
and with proper and tudicious manage
ment the confident opinion is expressed by
the directors. as well as by stockholders,
that the company can be placed on q sub
stantial basis. 1t Is recognized that as
proceedings have been begun in the courts,
and also owing to the publicity given to
its affairs. some radical measures must be
adopted.
Mr.. Browns ability as promoter and
seller of stock is recognized. but 1t Is
thought he has proved deficient in busi-
ness methods in placing the product on the
market
An examination Of the books shows that
all OF the capital stock. amounting to ST.
100000. has been expended. with the excep-
tion Of $4,000 still in treasury stock. The
statement is made that an examination Of the
books accounts for only an expenditure OF
the balance Of the stock and the money de-
rived from the portion that was sold were
used in advertising and in placing the
product on the market.
No further action has been decided upon
and 1t is thought that the result Of the
legal proceedings will be awaited before de-
Gliding upon a future course. The reorgani-
cation Of the company Is one Of the meas
ureS in view.
