TOWN OF HOBART
HAS BAD FIRE
Governor Lawton of Oklahoma BIames
Secretary Hitchcock for Lack
of Water Works.

AnadarkO, Okla, July 31.-The
main portion of Hobart was wiped out
by fire last night. The loss is a quar-
ter of million.
Manager Hughes Of the telephone
exchange. dropped dead of heart dis
ease while fighting the flames. The
fire started in the Phoenix theater
and is supposed to have been incen-
diary. The brick business houses in
two blocks are in ruins. The fire was
finally extinguished by using dyna-
mite.
Governor LawtOn has decided to file
charges with President Roosevelt
against Secretary Hitchcock because
the funds from the sale of public lands
are tied up by the department of the
interior. The cities desire money to
nroyide water works. Damage
claims may result as it will be con-
tended that the Hobart disaster might
have been avoided had water works
been built.
Four men and one woman are un-
der arrest for incendiarism. Seventy
seven business houses were burned.
Every man in town today is armed,
Six persons suffered injuries from the
reckless use of dynamite in the ex-
ting7Iishing fire. Andrew Kerr,

To Test Anti.Rebate Law.

Norfolk, Va. July 31.-Railroad and
business circles are awaiting with
keen interest the outcome OF the ar
guments begun in the United States
district court here today in the appll-
cation for a permanent injunction 10
restrain the Chesapeake and ONO
railroad from carrying coal or any
other traffic at any greater or less
rate than it's published tariff rates
and also torestrain the New Haven
road from receiving any rebate or ad-
vantage threfrom The case is the
frst TO arise under that section of the
anti-rebate law which gives the inter
to ask for an injunction 10 restrain
railroad from charging less tnan us
posted freight rates.
The action in the present case Is
based on the original complaint OF W.
G Bullitt. a Philadelphia coal dealer,
and the testimony given by Presldent
stevens of the Chesapeake and ONO
chowc that a contract was MADE nVe
wears ago by his road to deliver al
New Haven 10000 tons OF Ne"
River coal at the rate of 40O,0oo tons
a wear. for $2.75 a ton. When tne
contract expired in April last, oo,ooV
tons remained undelivered and con
tract was made for the delivery OF
that amount at the old arte.
After paying for the coal, its trans
nortation from Newport News TO New
Haven by sea and discharg1ng 1t from
the vessel, there remained Tor the
railroad company only 20 cents a
ton as freight from the kanaWha DIS
trict of West Virginia to NeWpor.
News. whereas the published rate OF
the chesapeake and Ohio tor tha'
haul is s1.45 a ton. 1t is this appar,
ent rebate or discrimination OF sl.l'
a ton in favor of the New Haven
road and against other that forms the
bovic of the complaint.

WOMAN CHANGED NAME.
Smith Did Net Seem Good, and So
She Adopted GoooIoW, and
Now There Is Trouble.

Spokane.-One CT the most peculiar
cases on record came to light in the
sueprOr court when a petition was
filed by A. A. Timmons for letters OF
administration in the estate OF Miss
Cecil Smith, lately deceased. 1t ap-
pears that Miss Smith was never
married, but she took out two life in
surance policies, each for $500 and
both in the same company. One OF
the policies was made in the name OF
Cecil Smith and the other in the name
Of Marguerite GOodlow.
1t appears that Smith did not seem
to be good name for the woman, IN
her opinion, and instead of taking the
usual course-getting married-she
changed her name to Goodlow with
out any formality whatever. Now the
insurance company refuses to pay
either policy on the ground that they
were not regularly executed and that
not sufficient proof of death can be
furnished. 1t is probable that suit
will have to be brought to collect
both policies.

The first three indictments bear
on each other. One Of these contracts
was held by Stone, who it is charged
was unable to furnish shoulder straps
to go with the sachels and they were
supplied by the department through
Superintendent Machen, in return for
which it is alleged Machen received
checks from Stone through William
Long. Of Washington. an insurance
man, for $4,000. The Runkle indict.
ment is on a similar charge. he being
said to have paid Machen $4,000 and
Thomas MacGregor, a clerk. $500.
Crawford, it is alleged, paid Machen
through Lorenz and wife, $1,000. In
all these cases it is asserted that the
department was charged for shoulder
straps by contractors when the bills
were presented although the straps
had been furnished by the depart
ment. The casper Indictment charges
that he paid Machen through Long
an $500 bonus in return for a contract
for painting mail boxes.
