FIRE BRINGS DEATH
COLLAPSE OF BURNING BUILDING
KILL SHINE MEN AT SIT.
LOUIS
MONEY LOSS REACHES $75, oot
Sudden Crash of Building Buries
Firemen in Ruins From Which
Comrades Cannot Res
cue Them.

ST. LOUIS. Feb. AT least nine men
were killed and as many more injured
at a fire which broke out tonight in the
five-story stone and brick building To-
Gated at No. 314 Chestnut street, oc-
cupied by the American Tent and AVN
ing company. The building suddenly coll
lapsed, and, although the iremen
who were caught in the crash had net
been reached by their Woodworking
companions two hours later, it is almost
absolutely certain that they have sue
cumbed
The building in which the fire started
was located in the old business section
of the city, and was about fifty years
old. The blaze, which proved a hard ore
for the fire department to master, had
been gotten practically under control,
when suddenly, with absolutely no warn
ing, it collapsed and came down in
heap with a noise that could be heard
for blocks. Three pipemen at work on
the second floor had difficulty in man
aging a line of hose, and Assistant Chief
Thiery was on his way, with three of
his men to lend them aid, when the
building collapsed. The men went down
with tons of twisted iron, brick, stone
and wooden columns enveloping them.
Chief SWingley, who was in front of
the building directing his men, had a
front wall fell outward he scurr:ed
across the street and fell under the
aerial truck. The truck was covered
with debris and partially wrecked and it
is to it's sheltering protection the chief
owes his life. Frank LINGO driver of
the truck, was directing stream on the
fire from the aerial ladder, about forty
feet from the ground, when the wall fell
A portion of the debris struck him and
he was hurled through the air to the
ground, receiving probably fatal injuries.
Chief Swingley put his entire force to
work at once in an effort to rescue the
buried fremen, but, although the men
worked like demons, they had not been
able to reach them at midnight. It is a
certainty that all are dead, as tons of
debris cover them

CASSELTON, N. D., Feb. 4.-Anticipat-
ed sensation over the possible arrest OF
Miss Flo Ely and Frank Ely Rogers,
her nephew, was exploded here tonight by
the arrival of photos of the Evanston
clippers. Examination by Chief Ballard
of bits of pasteboard from Chief ONeill,
Of Chicago, soon convinced the officer
that he had made mistake in his sur
misses as TO the identify of the woman
and boy under surveillance. He was dis
appointed at this outcome, as a compari-
son of newspaper cuts of the pair that
left Evanston last July had rather con-
firmed his first suspicious on seeing the
woman, as she tailed closely with the
written description of Miss Ely. To avoid
possible mistake on his part Chief Bal
lard turned the photos over to mis- son,
who was equally positive that 1t was q
case Of mistaken identity. Chief Ballard
saw the woman about two weeks ago.
and was so struck with her appearance
that ne was led TO make a thorough in
vestigation which grew confirmatcry till
photos reached him by special delivery.
He criticises Chief O'NeiIl, of Chicago
for giving out positive statement about
the people under surveillance, for at best
there had been nothing more than sus-
picion. There were many causes which

being from both Wisconsin and Illinois.
While she has been watched by otncers
for some time, the work was done in
such a manner as to prevent suspicion,
and she may never know what a sensa-

is not given out for publication. Chief

The cause of the explosion is explained

when the night shift went down. The

WOULDNOT MEET SCHLEY

HARTFORD, Conn, Feb. 1T has lust
leaked out that the invitation committee
OF the Hartford Yacht club composed of
some OF the wealthiest Connecticut men
III this vicinity, which is to hold it's an
nual banquet in March, had decided on
Schley as the guest of honor. Negotia-
tons had been entered into with a Con-
necticut congressman to proffer the invi-
tation to the admiral. The congressman
took the matter up with one Of the Mary
land United States senators, and he in
turn was to lay the invitation before
Schley when the latter returned from his
trip to Chicago.
In the meantime the committee had
made known its action to the club mem
bership in general, and then the ruction
began. Gov. Mclean, it is claimed, forth
with announced that he would not re-
ceive Admiral Schley if he accepted the
committees Invitation, and ex-Gov Nor
gan G. Buckley, who is in line to sue
coed Gen. HaWley in the senate, took the
same stand and declared he would refuse
to be present at the dinner if Schley was
there
The committee, nonplussed, Immediately
went to work to recall the invitation and
communicated with the Connecticut con-
gresham. The Invitation had not actual
ly reached Admiral SchIey's hands, but it
was brought to the attention of the Mary
land senator, and the incident is thought
to be the same as though it had been de-
livered to the naval hero.
