that which was met on the voyage The
waves continually washed the decks of
the ship and the wind was bitterly cold
The Cunard steamer Lucania reached
her docks in this city today. Capt. Nc
Kay reports fine weather all the way
across until he reached the eastern edge

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Feb. 9.-The dele
cation Of the st. Paul Commercial club,
twenty-seven strong, bent on finding out
the best way of raising funds to build
an auditorium, reached here this after
noon shortly after o'clock The trip
was without mishap or serious incident.
The party was comfortably equipped for
the journey travelling in a sleeping car
provided through the courtesy of the
Great Northern Railroad company.
The car was hauled to Council Bluffs
over the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Omaha road, under the personal SUI
pervision of E. A. Whitaker, city pas
senger agent in St. Paul of the Omaha
At Council Bluffs Eugene Valentine,
chief clerk of the passenger department
OF the Burlington, took charge of the
party, the car being transferred to that
line. Both railroads carried the party
free of charge.
Upon arrival here the party was met
by representatives of the Kansas 4City
commercial club and taken to the Bal
tlmore hotel. Many resident friends of
the visitors greeted them in the lobby Of
the hotel. After an hour pleasantly spent
the visitors were taken to the magnifi-
cent auditorium, the pride and boast of
the city, and shown around the structure.
They We're guided on this; by U. S. Epper-
son, president Of the convention hall
corporation; E. M Clendenning. secretary

floor through the front door. Some of
the escapes were very narrow.
Almost everybody who got out suffered
some injury or were frost bitten The
guests barely had time to get out when
aroused, the flames had spread so rap
idly. Some saved their clothing, but
others We're not SO fortunate, losing ev-
erything. After some delay nearby
houses were opened to the unfortunates
and they were given shelter.
1t was one of the coolest nights of the
winter, the ground being covered with
ice and snow. Harry Cline, Walter
Johnson, Henry Robinson, and an un-
known man who died later, were taken
to the city hospital. Robinson recover
ed enough to be taken home The 9th
ers named will be laid up for some time.
Victims Had Little Chance.
After short fight the firemen got the
Hames under control, and assisted py
the police, made a search of the ruins.
The first body found was that of John
c. Lueders, who was killed by jumping
from the third story His head was
crushed in. The body Of Lueders and
those of the others found later were
taken to the morgue, where friends and
relatives later identified them. Sarah
Harris was found on the first floor The
remains of the other victims were found
in their rooms, where they were suffo-
Gated or burned.
}. ]. Lally, who managed the house
Tor his brother-in-law, ]. w. KiIlam had
rooms on the first floor He stated there
were four rooms on the first, nine on the
second and seven on the third If all the
guests occupied their rooms, thirty-six
persons, including the colored EoTter and
chambermaid, were in the building when
it burned. Lally said he had no means
of knowing just. how many persons were
in the house at the time the fire broke
out Some of them were in the habit Of
staying out late, and it is possible all
were not there then.
Lally said he barely had time to get
out, being scorched, and spraining his
back. The only way for many OF the
roomers to get out alive was through
the windows, the burning stairways cut
ting off their escape that way. Some
jumped and sustained injuries more or
less serious, while others, who took time
to improvise ropes from their bed clotA-
ing, got down safely.
r. A. Wcolsey, a medical student, whose
home is in Galesburg H., had a room
on the second floor. Finding the regular
exits cut off, he slid to the ground safe
ly with the aid of two sheets tied to
getlrer.
Tonight most Of the guests have been
accounted in the list of dead, injured
and escaped. Among those unaccounted
for is A. Goldberg, an unknown stranger,
who came in late and went to bed with
out registering; two students, whose
names are not known, and F. B. Cam
trout. 1t is not believed there are any
more bodies in the ruins. which have
been carefully searched. For that rea-
son it is thought they will turn up.

VERY BRIEF STAY IN BOSTON

CROTON, Mass, Feb. 9-President
Roosevelt, upon his arrival at the Gro
ton school this afternoon, did not find his
son, Theodore Jr., alarmingly i'll with
pneumonia, but the boys condition was
not sufficiently reassuring to warrant the
presidents immediate return to the ma
tional capital. Young Roosevelt, with
two schoolmates, Horace B. Potter, of
New York, and William Gammen, of
Providence,~both having pneumonia, lie
IN large airy rooms on the second floor
of the college infrmary. Mrs. Roosevelt
has been with her son for two days.
Theodore greeted his father cheerily this
afternoon
Mrs. Roosevelt was at the window as
the president drove into the school yard;
and greeted him as he mounted the stairs.
The two Immediately went to the sick
boys room, and the president was de-
lighted to find that his sons head was
very clear.
The presidents stay here is indefinite
although it is not believed it will be pro-
lonGed much after Wednesday, unless the
boys condition takes a turn for the
worse. Pneumonia being always alarm
ing, the president has thought it well to
stay here until he has some assurance of
his sons recovery.
Nothing unusual happened during this
welt and Secretary Cortelyou, went for a.
short walk after dinner around the school
campus. One by one the lights in the
infiEmary went out and at II o'clock only
a dim light was showing at one END OF
the building. Shortly after the announce
ment was made that the boy was resting
quietly and that his condition was un-
changed.
Short Stay in boston.
BOSTON, Feb. 9.-President Roosevelt
on his way to Groton, came to Boston
today for the first time since assuming
his office His visit was a momentary
one, for he did not leave his car, but was
transferred from one railroad system to
another by means of a connecting link
over the tracks of third road. This plan
rendered unnecessary the arrangements
of the police to look after his safety in
crossing the city, and of the railroad Off
Gals, who had prepared another special
train for his use on the last stage of his
journey
When the shifting engine was attached
to the car the president came to the plat
form. Then every hat worn by men in
the crowd on the station platform came
off, and the president removed his in ac-
acknowledgement of the courtesy, saying,
II thank you.''

MRS. TURCHIN

BRAVE WIDOW OF A GALLANT IL
LIMOS SOLDIER SEEKS PEN
SION TO Mako HER LAST
DAYS COMFORTABLE.
FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
Washington, ID, C.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 9.-There
Is pathetic story behind the pension
bill introduced by Senator Mason to aid
Mrs. John B. Turchin, of Radon, Ill.
The husband Of the beneficiary was a.
colonel of the Nineteenth Illinois. one Of
the thirteen fighting regiments He was
in nearly all the great bates of the
Civil war and was wounded many times
He lived afterwards in Chicago, where he
was well known among the veterans.
But the peculiar claim of Mrs. TurchIn
to pension is based on the fact that
she was herself present and a participant
in the battle of Chickamauga and sew
eral other engagements. She insisted on
following her husband, and when he
was wounded she sought him out among
the dead and injured and nursed him
back to health. She suffered all the
hardships and exposures of camp life.
Her claim was presented to the pension
office, but was turned down on some tech
nicality. She is now broken in health
and her friends do not expect her to live
more than a couple of months. Col.
Turchin was of Russian descent. His
name was originally Turchinowski. but
was abbreviated and Americanized for
convenience.
