VOTES IN FAVOR OF TREATY
Upper House OF Danish Parliament
Advises sale of West
Indies,

COPENHAGEN. April 23.-The Lands
thing, by "a to 80 votes. today adopted the
majority report on the treaty for the sale
Of the Danish West Indies TO the United
States, The treaty now goes back TO the
Folkething.
The session Of the Landsthing was one
OF the most sensational on record. The
lie was passed twice and charges and coun-
tercharges were hurled back and forth,
while the opponents of the sale of the is
lands went so far as to impugn the accu-
raey Of the United States department on
cial records. The president of the house
twice called a former minister of JUS
tiee 10 order and he also left the chair
and spoke impassionately against the ratt-
hcation OF the treaty.
NJ. Jenson. one OF the opposition leaders
quoted a private conversation which he had
with the foreign minister. DR.. DeuntEer,
declaring that the latter expressed himself
as being personally opposed to the sale.
This the minister heatedly denied. II was
al this stage OF the proceedings that the
lie was passed.

EstruD Denies the story.

Former Minister Estrup, during the
course OF the debate. denied the foreign
minister's assertion that NJ. Estrup, who is
the leader OF the opposition, offered 10 sell
the Islands to the United States in 1892
when be (Estrupl was premier.
The foreign minister then quoted the for
eign relations committee Of the United
States senate on the subject and NJ.
Estrup excitedly reiterated his denial, de-
elaring that the state department publi-
cation was wrong and that the American
who was in Copenhagen at that time must
have conveyed a false impression to Wash
ingtOn. NJ. EstTup admitted there had been
some talk Of a sale, but declared he had
never made an overture TO the United
States
The foreign minister finally read tele-
gram from 400 citizens and merchants OF
the Danish West Indian Islands, urging
the immediate ratification Of the treaty,
setting forth that the condition OF the is
lands was critical and asserting that the
sentiment among the Inhabitants was
strongly in favor Of the sale Of the islands.

To DEATH IN
HOTEL
LUMBERMEN MEET FRIoHTFUL
FATE IN HOLOCAUST IN WEST
VIRGINIA LUMBER
CAMP.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 22.-The Times
Stars special from Davis, w. Va, says:
The hotel at the Hambleton lumber
camp near here burned yesterday and at
least seven lives were lost.
The cause of the fire is not known. but
It is thought there was some sort of an
explosion. as the large frame structure
was suddenly enveloped I'm flames.
All means of escape were quickly cut
off.
Many narrowly escaped with their lives
and some were injured.
Seven dead bodies have been recov-
cred.
No list of those missing is available
and no details are obtainable from the
camp, which is cut off from all means
of communication.
The Holocaust occurred in the hotel used
at Camp No. 5, operated by the Otto
Creek Lumber company. 1t was a. m.
when the flames broke forth from the
coke ROOM" and many were injured in
jumping from their sleeping apartments.
The camp lies Is miles off the West Viz
ginia Central railroad and is very diff
cult of access.
Rescue parties from other camps, not
ably from Davis and Hambleton, left early
this morning for the scene of trouble and
some of them are expected to return to-
night.
The later reports say - lives were lost
and many injured.

BOY DEAD BY
SIDE OF DYING MOTHER
SON OF J. D. LIVINGSTON DRANK
POISONOUS DIsENFEcTANT
AND DIED IN AGONY.

Just before going to see his mother,
who was expected to die within q short
time. little Thomas Vernon Livingston,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John d. Livingston,
$50 Woodward avenue, Saturday afternoon
drank with all the innocence of childhood
from a bottle of disinfectant and died
short time after.
The death of the little boy. coming as il
did. when the mother was not expected to
live, craZed Mr.. Livingston the husband
and father. and he had to be held to keep
him from drinking from the same bottle
of poison that ended his childs lift.
When the poison was taken from him he
made an effort to get a pistol, then scis-
sors, anything to end his misery.
1t was about o'clock Saturday after
noon that Thomas, along with the other
members of the family. was called into
Mrs. Livingston's room. where she lay
in with consumption, the end apparently
fast approaching. The gathering was for
prayers, but the mothers love discovered
there was something wrong with her boy
and before the prayer began. she asked
what he had taken. She smelt something
peculiar.
Without giving the child a chance to
answer. the mothers fears were allayed
by those about her bedside. The boy was
an right they told her. When the prayer
had been finished. the last the entire fam
lily were ever to have on earth, the boy
went for a walk and was then taken by
his aunt. Mrs. w. b. Rast, TO her home
63G Woodward avenue, where he would
nc be in the way in the house of illness.
Mrs. Rast. when the boy refused to eat,
became alarmed and physicians were
called Ii was then learned what he had
taken and that there was no hope. The
disinfectant contained arsenic and BIZ
chloride OF mercurr.
The boy. whose death came as double
shock and grief TO his father and the
family. was just four years Of age, and
a bright little lad. The unfortunate IA
Their. John ID. Livingston, is well known
engineer. He was formerly with the At
Ianta and West Point railroad, but since
his wife's extreme illness has been COM
PEELED to discontinue his work.
The extreme illness of the mother, the
hopeIessness of her recovery and the ten
der age of the child all combine to make
this one of the saddest tragedies Atlanta
has ever known. The friends of Mr.. Liv-
ingston deeply sympathize with him in
his trouble.

BOARD or HEALTH, MAKES A
STATEMENT.

After a thorough personal investigation
OF the smallpox situation in Atlanta DR..
W. c Jarnagin. president OF the board Of
health. has made a statement which
should successfully contradict the wild
and unfounded reports that have been cir
cuIated through newspapers in other cities
regarding the prevalence OF the disease IN
this city
The fact that there are fewer cases Of
smallpox in the citys hospital for con-
taziOus diseases at present than there
have been at any time during the past
three years at this season. the fact that
only eight cases or smallpox were taken
10 the hospital lest week from all parts
or the city and county. and the fact that
up to noon on Saturday there were only
81 smallpox patients at the hospital, six
OF whom were discharged on Sunday.
are plainly brought out in an interview
which DR.. Jarnagin has furnished for pub
LEGATION. and which is intended 10 stop
the reports that have been sent TO other
cities BIZ correspondents in Atlanta.
II is undoubtedly a fact that there was
some excitement I'm Atlanta. caused By
the fact that reports were circulated both
in other cities and here. Several reports
TO the effect that a number Of cases OF
smallpox had been taken from two or
three OF the leaoing retail stores caused
ladies TO refrain from shopping. and this
resulted In injury 10 the trade IN Atlanta.
II Is for the purpose OF allaying these
fears that Dr.. JarnsEin furnishes his in

doubted integrity OF DIR. JaTnagin. and in
