The Atlanta Constitution says that
Judge Speers has warned the railroads
not to raise freight rates. But they go
on doing it just the same, presuming upon
the Federal Judges to give them impu-

new YORK WOMAN
BURNED TO DEATH
Mrs. Florine Henry Caught
i'll Fire That Destroys
Residence.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Mrs. FIorine
Henry, the wife Of Philip S. Henry, q
wealthy coffee merchant, and daughter
of the late miner banker, Leonard
Lewisohn, was burned TO death today
in a fire that almost entirely destroyed
the residence of the family at 81 East
Fifty-siXth street.
Alberta Erickson, a domestic, Jumped
from the fourth-story window and re-
ceived injuries from which she died
soon afterWard.
The fire, which originated from an
unknown cause, had gained consider
able headway before it was discovered,
for, when the first alarm was sent out,
the house was in flames from cellar to
roof. Mrs. Henry's two infant chill
dren were save by their nurse, who ran
with them to the street Immediately
after the discovery of the fire. Mr.
Henry, who was slightly burned, was
rescued by a policeman who entered
the house before the arrival of the fire
men. 1t was supposed that his wife
had already made her escape.
After the fire had been extinguished
Mrs. Henry's charred body was found
in her bed room on the second floor.
Apparently she had succumbed to the
smoke while attempting to reach q
window. Mrs. Henry, who was TWEEN
ty-five years old, was married six years
ago in London, where her husband was
engaged in business.

IMMIGRANTS ARE
NOW PROTECTED
Improvements Effected at
Ellis Island, Where They
Land in America.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. IL
Frank p. Sargent, commissioner Of
immigration, tonight delivered an ad-
dress to the Jewish Chautauqua So
ciety on the subject of Immigration
and the Future of Our Country" He
stated that many abuses. which for
merly existed in the system have al
most wholly disappeared, and that un-
der the energetic impulse of Presi-
dent Roosevelt there is much promise
of wise and just practices in the fu
ture
'"The large number of persons who
seek a home in this country make it
inevitable that at times a few cases
of injustice will arise. 1t is the pur-
pose of the bureau of immigration to
deal fairly with every case that is
presented. Ellis island has been u
place for the harboring of vultures
who preyed upon the immigrants and
people began to look upon the place as
the helI-hole of American. Last April
the president placed a gentleman of
his own selection in charge at the ISL
and. He made changes in the disci-
pline and in the personnel of the Of
flee, and introduced sanitary measures.
Abuses which had existed for years
unchecked were stopped. do not pre-
sumo to say that conditions there to-
day are ideal, but we are trying to
make them so. We are asking con-
gress for $S00,000 for extensions to
buildings and better facilities for car
ing for those who are detained.
Il am opposed to the importation of
any class which tends to lower the
standard of wages and prices in Amer
lea. When efforts are put forth to
contract to bring such people here we
do not hesitate to send them back"

PAPERMAKERS REFUSE
PROFFERED TERMS
War With the Union Mills Likely to
Result.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Jan. II. A
special to the Sentinel today from APP
pleton, Wis, says that at a meeting
of the Brotherhood of Papermakers,
held here today, the question of peace
or war between the union paper mills
and their employees was decided. What
the decision was is not positively
known, but indications are that the
papermakers refuse to return to the
long hours and that war will result
The union men and officers positively
refuse to state what decision was
reached by the union until the reply
has been submitted to the Kingley &
Clark Paper company by it's employees,
for it is ostensibly in this manner that
the negotiations have been carried on.
though in reality it is the unions of
Appleton and Neenah and twenty pa
per mills in the Fox river valley who
are parties to the controversy. The
meeting today was attended by about
200 papermakers, and included repre-
sentatives of the union at Neenah,
Menasha, Kakuna and a few from
Wisconsin river points, as well as the
men from Appleton. President Makey,
of the National Brotherhood, who was
called here by the pending trouble, was
present at the meeting.

Under Arrest.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Jan. 11.-As re-
suit of fight between Robert M. Pear
son. 8 member of the FIRST class, from
Concord, N. H, and Crank G. Blasdell,
of New York, the former is in the office
with a broken jaw and Blasdell is
locked up. The affair occurred last
Saturday night and was the resnit Of
Pearson's refusal to be haZed by upper
class men. The upper class men had
been running" him ard some time
ago he is said to have fainted under
the ordeal. He was accused of cow
ardice and was required to fight third
class man. BlasGell was Qitted against
him and in the first round broke Pear
sons jaw. The latter, however, con-
tinued to fight until the fifth round,
when a first class man present stopped
the fight. 1t is stated the first class
man was referee and seconds were
chosen by the men from their respcc-
tive classes. Blasdeli has been piac-
ed under arrest and others connected
with the affair will probably be arrest
ed, also by the academy officials, who
are determined to punish the guilty

FEITO SUFFERS
FROM MONOMANIA
Man Who Fired Pistol at Procession in
Madrid Not an Anarchist.

MADRID, Jan. 11-Feito, the man
who fired a pistol yesterday at the
carriage in the royal procession in
which the duke of Sotomayer, the
grand chamberlain, was supposed to
be riding, was examined again today.
His bearing during the questioning
confirmed the previous reports that he
is suffering from monomania. A care
full official inquiry has shown that
Feito is not connected with anarch-
lists. It was first reported that Feito
had attempted to assassinate King
Alfonso. His majesty has received a
host of royal and other congratulations
upon his escape.
A dynamite bomb, which was sent
here by rail in box from Barcelona,
has been found at the railroad station
All attempts to discover the consignee
of the box have been fruitless. The
bomb reached here the day before the
funeral of Senor Sagasta, and is sup
posed to have been for use during the
passage of the funeral cortege.

Dead Man at the Throttle.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 11-Pessen-
gers on an incoming Knoxville & Ohio
railway train rode several miles this aft
ernoon with the hand of corpse at the
throttle. The train left Buckeye, Tenn,

lock knew something was wrong and
stepped to the engineers side of the en-
gine. He found Young dead and immedi-
ately stopped the train. There is a
wound or the left side of the engineers s
head and the supposition is that a piece
oI stone fell from the side Of a high cut
through the mountains and killed him in
stantly. The train ran perhaps eight
miles after Young was killed.

cloth market. Increased strength was
manifested, however. The inquiry was
encouraging and there has been fair
business, latterly in some directions,
although many, finding it impossible
to pay the enhanced figures producers
are compelled to ask, have deferred
purchasing until the market settles
down. The demand last week from
India and China was fairly satisfac-
tory, and some orders were booked for
prompt delivery. There was some
heavy buying from Japan. Egypt and
the Levant furnished fair business last
week.
Bourse Has Strong Week.
BERLIN, Jan. 1.-THE bourse has
had another strong week, although the
volume of transactions was below that
of last week. The efforts of the pro-
fessional elements to entice outsiders
to participate in the present bull
movement have not yet been realized.
The tendency Of the week was pro-
NOTED by the strength of foreign
bourses and the cheapening of money
here, the latter condition causing good
demand for domestic and foreign gov-
ernment funds. Foreign investors ap-
pear this week upon the German
bourses as buyers of German govern
ment securities. German investors
also are buying foreign rentes in
marked quantities, especially Span
lards, Portuguese and Turks.

BLIZZARD SWEEPS LAKE.

Far Into the Interior.


DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 11.-Lower
Michigan has been in the grasp of a
snowstorm today that in the western
part OF the state assumed the propor-
tons of blizzard. Lake Michigan is
tonight lashed by wind that made it
impossible for any of the boats to leave
tnelr ports for Chicago. At Benton
t1aroof the street car service is stalled
tonight. Three Rivers and Niles re-
port blizzard, temperature very low.
and trains delayed by the snow. AT
Grand Rapids the storm is the worst
OF the season and the temperature has
fallen twenty degrees since noon. At
O'Clock 1t was ten above zero, with
the wind blowing a gale. In Detroit
snow began falling about o'clock in
the morning and there was no cessation
until after noon. The fall continued
intermittently during the afternoon and
tonight five inches of snow had fallen.
Trains from the West were from one
TO two hours late tonight.
Cold Wave Wide and Lonq.l
OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 11.-Todav was
the coldest of the season. One degree
below zero was registered this morning
ana tonight the thermometer is still
lower with maximum for the dav of
TOUR degrees above. The cold wave
extends throughout Nebraska and parts
OF Iowa and South Dakota. Valentine
reports zero weather; Davenport three
below; Huron, two below, and Bis
marck, eight below, with clear weather
at all points.
Plenty of Soft Coal on Hand.
MILWAUKEE, Wis. Jan. 11-rbar-
mometers register 2 degrees below
zero at o'clock tonight, and predic-
tlons are made for below by day
break. very high north wind is
blowing and few persons are on the
SreeIs. Similar conditions exist
throughout the state. A number of
physicians report considerable sick
ness in this city on account of the cold
weather, for the reason that many of
the patients did not have sufficient fuel
on hand to keep warm. In manv in
stances physicians furnished certif-
icates for supplies of coal, but all of
these could not be filed.
The stock of soft coal on hand in
Milwaukee is estimated at 100, 600 tons
and dealers say there is not the re-
motest probability of a soft coal
famine. Most of the big manufacture
ing concerns of the city have guaran-
tees from dealers that make their
position secure. Large shipments of
all rail soft coal are being received
daily.
Most of the cities and towns in the
state outside of Milwaukee report a
fairly good supply of coal on hand. and
where there is a scarcity of coal plenty
of wood can be had.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-A severe bliz-
Zard and the coal famine brought
keen distress to thousands of fami-
lies in ChicXgo today. Zero weather
is likely to continue for several days,
with consequences in death and Suf-
fering that are little short of appalling.
The efforts of the state and city
authorities and a special grand jury
have been ineffective in relieving the
fuel shortage, Notwithstanding the
fact that miles and miles of cars load
ed with coal and billed for Chicago
line the tracks of several railroads
within an hours haul of the city. Some
idea of the situation may be gained
from the following bulletin issued to-
day by the health department:
Fully 10 per cent, nearly 200, 900
residents of Chicago are today suffer-
Ing from ailments of a grave character
caused by priVation and exposure re-
sulting from the coal famine. Already
these ailments are reflected in the
enormous increase of deaths among
those at the extremes of life, the
young and the aged, in both of whom
the powers of vital resistance are at
the lowest. Since the first of the year
there has been an increase of nearly
20 (l9.2) per cent in the number of
deaths among those under five years
of age over the number in the CORE
spending period of last year, when the
death rate was about normal. Among
those over sixty years of age the in
crease is much greater-24 per cent
last week over the week previous and
36.7 per cent over the normal rate of
the corresponding period of 1902"
Search for the Guilty.
The actual search for evidence of a
combine of coal dealers for the pur-
pose of forcing up the price of fuel
VIII be undertaken tomorrow by the
special grand jury which began it's
task Saturday under direction Of
States Attorney Deneen and Attor-
ney General Hamlin. Twenty-Five coal
men, some the heads of wholesale
firms and others chiefs in the councils
OF corporations operating mines, are
under summons to appear and tell
what they may know of the ring
winch the members or the Illinois
Manufacturers association charge ex-
lists. The grand jury has planned a
strenuous campaign. Coal men will be
asked to explain just what are the
aims and objects Of the Illinois Coal
Operators association, and why the
long trains of coal cars which are
strung upon the railroad tracks just
outside the city limits are not being
ordered into the city and emptied
without delay.
The claims of the complaining fuel
consumers who are suffering from the
impossibiity of obtaining coal at any
reasonable figure are based on the dec
larations of those who have investigat-
ed the situation, and who declare that
the railroads, with possibly one or two
exceptions, are doing all they can to
facilitate the moving Of fuel. 1t is said
that these Investigators have discover
ed trains of coal cars sidetracked and
labeled with placards instructing rail-
road freight crews to hold the con-
signments indefinitely. 1t is also as
serted that beyond the city lines on
one and probably two roads countless
tons of coal have been taken from the
cars and heaped UP on either side Of
the tracks for as much as three-quar-
ters of a mile.

AUSTRIAN EMPEROR
MAY. VISIT ROME
Francis Joseph Can Avoid Trouble by
Travelling With Emperor William.

ROME, Jan. 1.-THE visit of EN-
peror William to the Italian court next
April may be the means of smoothing
over the difficulty between Austria
and Italy, which has been of long
standing owing to the failure of En-
peror Francis Joseph to return the
visit of the late King Humbert to vi
emma in 1882, because of the pope's
threat to excommounicate any Catho-
lie sovereign who became a guest of
the Quirinal before going to the Vat
ican
1t is proposed that the Austrian en-
peror come to Rome simultaneously
with the emperor of Germany. AS
there would then be no accommoda-
tion at the Quirinal for both royal Wis
itors, Emperor Francis Joseph could
stop at the residence of the Austrian
ambassador to the holy see, visit the
pope go to Naples, and on his return
to Rome become the guest of King
Victor Emmanuel.

Lamb, a boy fifteen years Of age, who
has been employed at the North West
ern railroad depot at GAINESVILLE, a small
town few miles west of here, ever
since he was twelve years of age, was
last night and instantly killed. Young
Lamb was student at the depot and
was learning telegraphy. Last night
he was sent down the track with
lantern to flag an extra freight train
and had turned the switch to let it in
on a sidetrack. He stepped over onto
the main track and did not see the
approaching passenger. The head of
the engine struck him, splitting his
head wide open and killing him in
stantly. Lamb was an orphan and was
a great favorite with the railroad men
