THREE FIREMEN KILLED
CRUSHED BY THE FALLING WALL OF
A BURNING BUILDING.
Three Men Severely Injured-Barn of
the Cleveland Electric Railway
and Many Cars Destroyed.

CLEVELAND, Nov. 16.-Three fremen
were killed and three injured in the largest
fire the city has suffered in months, early
to-day.
The dead: Robert Duffy, James Schweeda
and Robert Reed.
The injured: Michael Corrigan, legs
broken; Harry Vandevelde, suffering from
shock, outcome uncertain; Battalion Chief
Andrews. slightly injured about body.
Duffy and Schweeda were killed almost
instantly, having been caught under a
falling wall. Reed died an hour or two
later In the hospital.
The fire was in the large street-car barn
of the Cleveland Electric Railway Com
pany. in Holmden avenue, and started
about o'clock from, as yet, an unde-
termined cause Employees Of the street-car
company believe, however, that it was OF
incendiary origin. There were 100 motors
stored within the building, which covered
an area OF four acres, and the flames
spread like a whirlwind, necessitating the
calling of all available flre-fghting appa-
ratus I'm the city. The motors were valued
at probably 5000 each. The loss on the
building Is placed at $4,000.

TIMERS MAY ESCAPE.

Washington, April 25.-Attorney
General Knox yesterday expressed the
opinion to Postmaster General Payne
that unless there is something tt
show whether the documents taker
from the safe by Mrs. ryner are gov
eminent property or private papers
no case would lie. ..-
This statement was made after Mr.
Knox had gone over the papers for
warded to him by the postoffice de
partment. Mr.. Payne replied by stat
ing the circumstances attending the
taking of the papers and the fact that
most of the papers file1 in such gov
eminent safes are of confidential ma
ture and therefore are not OF record
There will be conference today be.
tween Mr.. Payne and Mr.. Knox. The
position taken by the postoffice depart
ment now is that it has done all that
is possible to establish the facts in
the case; that the improperly of the
act is of equal Importance to the ma
ture Of what was taken and that any
further steps rest with the department
of justice. 1t is known by the post
master general that the safe from
which all the papers were taken has
contained valuable official papers at
various times and that Mr.. Tyner has
so stated 1t is not known, however,
whether any such papers were in the
safe since Mr.. Tyner last had access
to it.
Attorney Ross Pray of this city,
counsel for the Tyners, called on the
postmaster general subsequent to his
interview with the attorney general.
He told the postmaster general that
The Tyners would be glad to have the
postmaster general or any representa-
tive of his department look over the
papers at the Tyner residence. Mr..
Payne talked with Mr.. Pray at some
length and pointed out to him that
the Tyners were given an opportunity
Immediately after the papers were
taken to open them in the presence of
the officers of the department and had
refused to show them or to indicate
to the government representatives

MILLER GIVES EVIDENCE.
Is Before Legislative Committee, But
Falls to Name Bride Offerers.

Springfield, ILL.,, April 27.-The spec
ial committee appointed to investigate
the Doodle charge made by Speaker
Miller in connection with the Mueller
bill, concluded it's session Saturday.
Most of the members Immediately
left for their homes, but those who
are here, maintain the utmost reti-
cence concerning the proceedings of
the committee. Speaker Miller when
asked for a statement. refused abso-
lutely to say what he told the COM
mittee. From meagre information
from various sources it is learned
that the examination assumed very
wide range and went into the entire
history of the proposed traction leg
islation at this session. Questions
were asked concerning the republican
steering committee of the house and
it is said that the speaker admitted
that his action in putting through the
amendments to the Lindley bill under
the gayel, was in accordance with an
agreement of the steering committee.
The speaker was unable to furnish
the committee with the names of any
persons who had told him that there
was money behind the Mueller bill.

had made an arrangement to meet her
at the department. At her direction
Mr.. Hammer opened the safe in the
room and she took therefrom all pa
pers, records and articles of every
kind and carried them away with her.
Imediately upon learning what had
been done / directed the fourth assist
ant postmaster general to send two
inspectors to your house to demand,
in the name OF the postmaster general
the delivery to them of any papers,
documents or other materials which
had been distracted from the safe
This demand was refused by Mrs. Ty-
ner, and she likewise refused to per-
nit the inspectors to see you or to
see and examine the papers in her
presence. Mrs. Tyner further stated
to the postoffice inspectors that she
committed this act with your knowl-
edge and by your direction. Further
comment on this transaction, on my
part, is not necessary.
The facts in the case will be sub
mitted to the attorney general of the
United States for such action in the
premises as he may deem proper.
Very respectfully,
H. C.. PAYNE,
Postmaster General.

RAILWAY TRUST
Gets HARD BLOW
Fourteen Lines Are Enjoined
by Courts From Rate Dis
elimination.
FIRST ELKlNS LAW DECISION
Roads Must Not Discriminate Against
Small Shippers-Judges Grosscup and
Phillips of One Mind on All Points OF
the Case.

Chicago April 25.-Judge Grosscur
yesterday entered an order in the
United States circuit court Of appeals,
enjoining six railroad companies from
discriminating against small shippers
in the western territory. The decision
is especially important as being the
first under the new Elkins law.
The government, according to the
decision, is entitled to the injunction
against the offending railroads under
the interstate commerce act, as We'll
as the Elkins law. The ruling applies
to fourteen railroads which were COW
cred by proceedings instituted in the
federal court. Six Of these companies
were defendant in the local court; the
others are under the jurisdiction OF
the Kansas City federal court. Judge
Grosscup announced that he and Judge
Philips were of one mind relative tc
all the points involved and that the
latter would render a like decision
today.
The decision, which was given oral
ly, holds that the government has the
right to bring an action in equity to
restrain railroad companies from dis.
eliminating either by furnishing lower
rates or giving rebates to favored
shippers.
1t further declares that while each
injured citizen has right to such re
lief in his own behalf, in cases like
those under consideration, the injured
persons are so numerous and the in
jury to each is so infinitesimal, that il
is the duty of the government to ACT
for them under the power specifically
conferred by the statutes.
The Ellsins law is held to be simply
declaratory of the substantive rights
which existed before and an injunction
would lie under the interstate com
merce act.
The railroad companies in the Ioca
court affected by the order are: Mich
igan Central; ,Pittsburg, FIT. Wayne
and Chicago; Pittsburg, Chicago
Cleveland and st. Louis; Lake Shors
and Michigan Southern; Illinois Cen
trail, and Chicago and Northwestern
Those in the jurisdiction of the Kan
sas City court are: Chicago and AL

Washington, April 27.-The two i'm
portant developments Saturday in the
investigation of the sensational alb
straction of papers from the safe of
general for the post-office department,
which led to the dismissal of that
official, were the submission OF what
purported to be the papers TO the in
spection of the postal authorities and
the decision of General
Payne to relieve Acting Assistant
Acknowledgement G. A. Christiancy
from his office pending an investiga-
ton of his conduct. The action in the
case of Mr.. Christiancy was taken at
his own request. He states that he
courts the fullest investigation. Mr..
Christiancy has held the Office of as
sistant encouragement since January
/, 1901, and has been in charge OF the
legal affairs of the department most
of the time since then, owing to Gen

health. General Tyner's counsel sub

NATIONS TO ENTER PROTEST.
Against the Claims Made by Russia
Regarding Manchuria.

London, April 25.-The Associated
Press learned that there is in con.
temptation a forcible joint protest on
the part of Great Britain, the United
States and Japan against the Russian
demands in the matter of the sover.
eighty of Manchuria.
The Associated Press is authorized
by the foreign office to state that il
the Chinese government correctly rep
resents Russia's claims, these claims
constitute an absolute breach of all
the undertakings given in connection
with Manchuria and utterly abrogate
the principles of the open door, terri.
torial division and international com.
ity to which the British government
constantly aud publicly has commit.
ted itself. 1t is added that in these
principles Great Britain has always
acted with the United States, and it
is presumed that similar feelings eX.
list in Washington. Nothing, however
is definitely known as with the eXcep.
tion of the British minister to China
no British ambassador has yet re.
ported.
1t is pointed out that Russia's expla.
nation may throw a different light on
her demands, although in official cir
Giles here there is frank expression
of the belief that Russia has no inten
ton of evacuating Manchuria, ant
that she hopes after demanding the
maximum to secure a compromise.
Washington, April 25.-MinisteI
Conger has cabled to Secretary Hay 6
synopsis of the demands made by Rus
STA respecting control of Manchuria
This account agrees precisely with
the full and accurate press report OF
Russia's last coup from the Chinese
capital. Secretary Hay will take nc
action in the matter until he has com
municated the facts to The president
and has learned the latter's wishes
The present impression here is that
the Russian action is distinct breach
Of faith with the United States. The
Russian government pledged itself
three times formally, and the docu
ments are of record that the open dool
should be maintained in Manchuria
and Russian troops would be with
drawn as soon as peace is restored
Finally the latter promise to take the
shape of a treaty stipulation. 1t was
provided that the evacuation should
take place within three distinct
periods. The last Russian soldier
should have quit Manchuria on the Stt
of this month, according to that trea
ty, but a plausible explanation for a
temporary retention Of the remaining
Russian troops was offered by Russia
in the claim that the country was still
disturbed, and that vigorous military
methods were necessary in the inter
est of sanitation. Officials declare
that there will be no war with Russia
over this incident

TEACHERS AND BOARD.
State Superintendent Defines Their
Mutual Duties.

Des Moines, April Estate Super
intendent Barrett in deciding an ap-
peal case involving the discharge Of l..
c. Goodrich as a teacher of the Cali
fornia Junction schools, upheld the
action Of the county superintendent in
refusing to approve the discharge by
the board, and rather severely scored
the board for its irregularity in this
case. He points out that the record
nowhere discloses that the board or
any member of it at any time during
the term of school had visited the
school or in any way extended to the
teacher support or encouragement. In
the investigation of the case on pc
tition Of few of the patrons to have
the doctor removed only members of
the board appeared as witnesses
against the teacher. The department
has held for many years that teach
ers are entitled to the support and
cooperation Of the board and should
be shielded from the stigma of dis
charge, and that the board in this in
stance failed TO support the teacher
was manifest. The superintendent
also takes the ground that mere dis
satisfaction of the pupils with the
teacher is not sufficient cause for dis
charge of the teacher. He also sug-
gests that the rule in regard to con-
tracts should be more rigidly adhered
to by both teachers and school Of
