FIRE INYADES
THE VATICAN
Flames Ragged Fercely for Three
Hours and Much Damage Was
Caused.
The Pope Personally superintendent

+ City Firemen There.

Rome, Nov. Fire broke out at
$3.50 last evening in that portion Of
the vatican containing the hall of in
scriptions, where the pope gives his
audience and which Is adjacent to the
famous Pinacoteca, or gallery Of pic
lures.
The alarm caused much confusion
and excitement in the vatican. Siren
uous efforts were made to control the
flames, and the tfremen Of Rome were
called to lend their help. No lives
we're lost
The pope came to the scene in per-
son and remained until the arrange
ments to fight the fire were COM
pleted. The fire caused greater
sensation in Rome. than has any other
event since the death Of Pope Leo.
Fires in Rome are exceptional be-
cause Of the heavy stone and brick
construction Of the buildings, and
spicuous place, wherein were many
celebrated treasures, brought out
great numbers of anxious people in
spite Of the heavy rain which had
been falling thruout the day.
The safety of the pope was the first
thought in every ones mind, but this
was soon assured. When the pontif
arrived at the scene he ordered that
the iremen Of Rome be called,
This was done by telegraph. The
f1remen arrived in about ten minutes,
and altho they brought four engines
with them and were at once ready to-
begin operations, it took some time to
find the best way to get sufficient wa
ter supply with which to fight the fire.
In the meantime the flames had be-
gun to break out of the windows and
were destroying the roof. The flames
lighted up the entire district and gave
the impression that nothing could
stop their fury.
When the fire engines began work
ing, three rooms were already entire
ly destroyed by the flames, which were
extending to the other apartments.
The pope withdrew as soon as he saw
that everything possible was being
done to fight the fire.
information had been sent the Ita1-
ian authorities, who hurried to st.
Peters. They were courteously in
vited to enter and did. SO. Therefore,
for the first time since the fall Of the
temporal power of the vatican, the
mayor of Rome, the project, police Of
ficials and even Signor Ronchett1, the
newly appointed minister of justice,
entered the vatican in their official
capacities. They gave orders direct
ing the work Of combating the flames
and participated personally in the
fight.
At a little after II the fire was I'M

The entire museum of inscriptions,
the rooms of Father Ehrle, part of the
library and the printing houses were
entirely flooded with water. Many
articles were saved. including some
ancient and very valuable arms which
were recently moved to the ibrary

SHIPBUILDING
DEAL A SWINDLE
Receiver Of the United States Com
pany Files Highly sensa-
tional Report.
Makes Frequent Use Of Such Express
sions as classification, Swind-
ling and Fraud.

New York, NOV. 2.-Sensationa al
legations Of willful misstatement and
Justification, swindling and, fraud in
the organization and hotation Of the
United States Shipbuilding company.
Of attempts to nislead and deceive
the. investing public by erroneous
prospectus statements and of delib-
crate plan to wreck the. company by
withholding the earnings Of the Beth
lehem Steel company are contained in
the report Of Receiver James Smith,
company, just made public.
The report concludes with the re-
commentator that suit be brought
against all persons who received full
stock Of the company without paying
full value therefor. including the pro-
motors of the consolidation, the vend-
ors of the constituent plants, and
Charles M. Schwab, to recover from
them such amount as necessary to
pay the debts Of the company in full.
Receiver Smith also recommends
the sale of the Crescent shipyard
plant in New Jersey, and the Harlan
& Hollingsworth plant at Wilmington,
Del, subsidiary plants not now In op-
GRAFTON, to avoid further loss by depre-
citation, and the enforcement Of a re-
ceivership for the Bethlehem Steel
company, to insure the payment Of
dividends in the Bethlehem stock held
by the United States Shipbuilding
company. In the words Of the report,
the organization of the company is
characterized as an artistic swindle.''
Receiver Smith states that the value
Of the plants, their earnings and
working capital, given in alleged
thoro reports of expert accountants,
vary SO much from actual figures "as
to irnpel the belief that the figures
were wilfully misstated;" that it is
extremely doubtful If such account
ants reports were submitted at the or
ganization Of the company; that the
organization was effected by dunn
my" stockholders, directors and Off
GERS; that statements in the prospec-
tus issued on June IA, 1902, were in
correct; that for property worth $12,-
441,616 the shipbuilding company
paid in stock and bonds $67,997, 900;
that the accommodating directors Of
the United States Shipbuilding COM
pany in acquiring these companies
deliberately gave away many millions
of dollars in the stock and bonds Of
their company"
Wholesale plumber" the receiv-
er terms it to a few persons,
and that as far as the Beth
lehen Steel company is concerned,
sits earnings have been withheld in a
deliberate attempt to wreck the
United States Shipbuilding company"
The report deals freely with the
name Of Charles M. Schwab, and the
nature Of the Bethlehem transaction,
says Mr.. Smith, is such as ito justify
him in saying that he did not sell the
Bethlehem Steel company, but took
over the United States Shipbuilding
company, the directors Of that COM
pany giving him s80,o00,000 in stock
and bonds for taking it off their
hands" ..tts.f ~ HI

Had Abused His Wife.
Ehrenreich and his wife had not
lived happily and several months ago
the woman decided to sue for di-
vorce. She charged that he had beaten
and abused her and that she was
afraid to live with him. He opposed
her getting divorce and brooded
greatly over it. Recently he had been
drinking heavily and had been stay
ing at the clearinghouse. Last week
Mrs. Ehrenreich, in whose name the
property was held, made arrangements
to sell the house to Mrs. Chris Kloster.
and told his wife that he would not
sign any papers for transfer Of the
property. She retorted by explaining
that she owned the property and that
it made little difference whether he
gave his consent or not. He then re-
taliated by threatening to throw Mrs.
Kloster out Of the place. The two
women, however, continued their ne
gotiations and completed their ar
rangements for the transfer of the
property, Mrs. Kloster expecting to
take possession to-day.
Ehrenreich had three children, two
daughters and a son. None Of these
abused them. The eldest daughter,
Matilda, aged IS, is in Portland, Ore
gon, while Amos, the son, aged ID,
lives at Osseo, Mimi. The youngest
daughter, May, aged IA. has made her
home with Mrs. M. T. Leonard, 2117
a ] o U n n q reporter the girl said:
my father and mother never got
along very well since can remember,
because he was mean to her. He used
to come home and beat her and be
just as mean as he could be. He often
threatened to kill her, but she said
that she was not afraid of him. He
drove me away from home last July,
when he choked me terribly and
threatened to kill me. He did not
want her to get divorce is what made
him shoot her." 3
In Mad Frenzy.
James Coyne, who rooms at 255
Twenty avenue N, and boards
at the Ehrenreich place, said he met
Ehrenreich about an hour before the
tragedy and that the man seemed
greatly excited. He bore the odor Of
carbolic acid and said that some one
had tried to poison him last night.
While he talked freely about his
troubles and seemed agitated, he did
not say that he intended to murder his
wife.
The Ehrenreich family is known to
the police, as the officers have been
summoned to quell family dis
| turbances on frequent occasions
| They say that Ehrenreich claimed that
his wife was intimate with other men
and that the trouble started over this.
About three years ago, when she was
gone for several days and returned,
he became SO abusive that it was
necessary for the police to interfere
| Shortly afterwards he drove his oldest
daughter from home.
Mrs. Ehrenreich carried $500 life
insurance, while Ehrenreich had a
policy for $4,000 with the A. O.. u. w.

name and will go the children.
Ehrenreich was 48 years old ana his
wife 80. She formerly lived at Lie

New York, Nov. 2.-The electrical
storm which seems to be sweeping the
world in successive waves and which
scientists say might increase in inten-
sity sufficiently to destroy all life has
caused serious distur Dances here since
Saturday.
Business In the stock exchange
was hampered by the inability Of bro
kers to get orders over the wire from
their western customers. The inter-
ruptlon In telegraph service was the
result, IT Is believed, of extraordinary
electrical disturbances caused by the
aurora borealis which was seen here
last night. The disturbances SO az
fected the cable, telegraph and tele-
phone lines that the various COM
panies yesterday issued notices that
their services would be slightly de-
layed. AZ
The French cable line notified its
patrons that message had been re-
ceived at Its main New York office
from the European officials stating
that business would be subject to a
heavy delay. For two hours early
yesterday morning New FORKS tele-
graph service was badly crippled and
but few messages got thru. The brill
liant display Of the aurora borealis
was witnessed by hundreds of New
Workers.
