history during the last ten years had
shocked the sensibilities of mankind.
Re declared that it was the most ra-
pacious scheme Of legislative corrup-
ton, journalistic venaiity and social
and political exposure ever uncovered
in any age or country"
He asserted that the launching OF
the Panama canal enterprise was one
of the greatest farces ever Witnessed
on earth, either in ancient or in mod
ern times. and that the whole project
was "Oue of the most stupeudOus gold

Compelled to Buy Material in France.
Mr.. Mitchell declared that by the
Spooner amendment and the views Of
the minority of the canal committee
the United States not only. was invited
70 participate in a gigantic lottery
scheme. but also would be compelled
by French law. controlling the canals
construction 60 purchase in France all
raw materials entering into the canal.
He pointed out that the new Panama
canal company has entered into obliga-
tions TO construct the canal and he
/ insisted that the United States, if it
should purchase the Panama Canal
cOmpanys right ard property, would
be the legatee Of all obligations Of the
French company, including those TO
the stockholders of the old Panama
company. In view of all the conditions
he did not think a wise man would
invest $40 100000 in a proposition of
that kind.
In conclusion, Mr.. Mitchell declared
that If he were casting about for a
way to defeat the construction Of an
isthmian canal he could find no better
one than the supporting of the SpooneI
amendment He was satisfied the Pan

Arizona has its innings before the
house committee on territories this
evening and Governor Murphy
and his associates, who have been
pursuing vigorous campaign in
the interest of statehood, believe
that their hopes may soon be real
lied, One of the principal points
in their favor is the desire of con-
gress to simplify matters with re-

confused with the domestic terri
tories in the matter of legislation.

DOING GOOD WORK.
Charities Fulfilling All
Promises Made.

The Associated Charities is in
deed doing excellent work in this
place by looking after the needy
ones, gathering donations of cast
off clothing and looking into the
circumstances of those who seek
aid.
The association asks those who
have discarded clothing to kindly
give the same to it, as it has num-
erous applicants for the apparel.
O. w. Brainard, the superintend-
ent of this branch of the work for
the organization, would see that
some one called for this clothing
should a postal card be mailed to
him, or else they can be taken to
Julius McCandless' hardware store
The Associated Charities has
fixed up two rooms very comfort
ably in the city hall and from this
time forth stranger who should
be taken sick or meet with an ac-
cident will be given good accom-
modations in these rooms.
The county commissioners have
ceased directly aiding those who
apply for aid, but at the same
time they contribute to the Char
tiles fund, where it is thought the
money can be used more edvan-
tageously.

BEAUMONT OIL
FIELD IS BURNING
Loss Promises to Be Immense and the
Entire Field May Be De-
s+roved

BEAUMONT, Tex, Sept. 1.-THE oil
great volume of smoke which is flow
ing in from Spindle Top, there is grave
danger that great loss will be sustain
ed If the field is not entirely destroyed.
The fire started tonight in some waste
oil along the Texas & Sabine tracks
and burned about sixty feet of trestle.
This was put under control and 1t
was believed that all danger had pass
ed, but in the meanwhile the ire In
some way had been communicated to
the field and a number of huge settling
tanks, containing thousands of barrels
of petroleum, have already exploded
and others are reported to be in the dl-
rect line of the fire, which has spread
over a wide area already.
The ground is saturated with oil and
there is no chance for stopping the pro-
gress of the flames tonight The fire is
spreading rapidly and it is believed that
the whole field will be ignited before day
light. A telephone message from Gladys.
which is the station at the Oil field, says
the whole of the Keith-Ward tract, en-
bracing several acres and containing a
large number of wells. has been burned
over, and it is believed that some of the
wells have caught fire, though this Is
not yet positively determined.
At l o'clock the big tanks belonging to
the Higgins company were burning. Run
ners have been sent out in every direction
for the men who own or represent the
companies.
There are 40 producing wells in the
field, some of which are buried under
earth to safeguard against fire.

CARRIES GASOLINE
FROM BLAZING HOUSE
James Blake Prevents Disastrous Ex-
pIosion by Prompt Action at Board
ing House Fire.

BY rushing into the burning build
ing and grasping a ten gallon can of
gasoline, James Blake probably saved
the home of Miss Mary Croak, LAG Case
street, from total destruction last
night. Had the gasoline ignited the
house would have been doomed.
The fire was discovered shortly after
8 o'clock by Mrs. James Carroll, who
was sitting in the kitchen. She heard
a loud report, such as would be caused
by the explosion of nitroglycerin. 1t
was probably the explosion of chemi-
calls which Miss Croak kept in a shed
adjoining the house.
AS soon as Mrs. Carroll saw the blaze
she notified the boarders, and then
called to Blake to get the gasoline out
from the shed.
The fluid was in a tin oil can. COW
cred with wood. When Blake grasped
the can the wood was afire and in an
other moment the gasoline would have
exploded from the heat.
The damage to the house, which is
owned by William Graves, will amount
to $500, and to the furniture 500.

Burn.

Mrs. Fred Lillenskold, 1851 Sher-

flames yesterday afternoon unhurt
Not a hair was burned, although the
woman apparently walked through the

Mrs. Lillensk old used gasoline to
hurry the fire in her kitchen range and
a two-gallon can filled with the fluid
blew up. In moment the room was
mass of flames in which stood the
woman.
She rushed to the door, seemingly
immune from the fire. When she
reached the door the flames burst out
after her, but not burn or even a
scorch did Mrs. Lillenskold receive.
The fire destroyed the rear of the
house and damaged it to the extent Of
$500. Furniture, valued at 5000, was

EXCELSIOR ATTORNEY CHARGED
WITH USING MAILS IN AT.
TEMPT TO DEFRAUD
FLEETWOOD S. SPRUCE
CANNOT BE PRODUCED
Attorney Lane, for the Defense, Says
He Will Show That Spruce Was Well
Known in Excelsior to Many Resi-
dents There-His Present Where
abouts Is Unknown.

The case of the United States against
q. e. Empey, the Excelsior attorney,
for using the mails with intent to de-
fraud was taken up yesterday in the
4 circuit court before Judge Munger.
Unitg2-o States District Attorney
r Haupe and his assistnt, Al ]. Smith,
appeared for the government, and
Freeman p. Lane appered in behalf OF
the defendant.
The specific charge is brought by
w. S. McCaull general claim agent OF
Q. o. & K. c. railway, who claims that
Empey endeavored to collect from their
road a claim of $125 for personal in
juries claimed to have been received by
Fleetwood S. Spruce, who was pas
senger on one of their trains that was
wrecked on the night of Sept. q, 1901,
near Council Bluffs, Iowa.
Mr.. McCaull claims that Spruce Is a
STRAW man." as no such name appear
ed on the list of passengers who were
!, checked by the train hands immedi-
ately after the wreck.
: Many Witnesses Examined.
The principal witnesses examined
yesterday were A. F. Wilson, conductor
on the train the night of the wreck;
was also on the train and assisted in
checking the list Of injured and those
who escaped injury; James S. Blan-
chard, agent for the road at Council
Bluffs, who appeared on the scene
shortly after the wreck; w. III. Dodd,
the brakeman; Howard S. Abbott,
United States commissioner before
whom Empey had his preliminary
hearing, and w. S. McCaull, claim
agent for the road and principal pros
ecutor.
Say Spruce Is a Dummy"
Their testimony all tended to show
that there was no such a person as
Fleetwood S. Spruce, and that he was
not on the train the night of the wreck,
and that all passengers holding
tickets from st. Louis to Council
Bluffs on that night had been account
ed for, and among the list there was
no such a person as Spruce.
The defense will attempt to show by
competent witnesses that Fleetwood
s. Spruce resided at Excelsior for a
time last summer, and that he was
known to many of the residents at
that place, also that he had received
mail at Excelsior, but they do not
know where he is at the present time.
There are in attendance at the trial
number of claim agents of different
roads, who claim that they also have
received bogus claims from Empey.
The case viii probably go to thu jury
today.
