FIRE SURROUNDS
DRUNKEN GUESTS
Tragedy at Morrisey
Caused by Revelry
at Night.
Ruins Reveal Four Bodies,
but Some More Men
May Have Died.
Special Dispatch to The eau.


SPOKANE. Wash, Jan. 19.-NO more
bodies have been discovered in the ruins
of the Pioneer Hotel which burned at
Morrisey. 3. c.. Saturday night. and it
is now believed that only four men met
death. Only one body has been idenu-
fed. 1t is that Of Herbert Noriott, SAID
10 be from Brueeford, Ontario.
When Proprietor Johnson ran upstairs
TO warn the sleeping men he saw NOriott
and told him to get out Of the house.
NOriOtt was one of the men who were not
under the influence of liquor, and, It is
presumed he was overcome by smoke
while trying to make his way from the
building. The other three bodies are so
badly charred that Identification IS prac-
ucally impossible. Only a little flesh and
bone remain Of two cOrpses. and the
features of all except Noriott were
burned away.
1t develops to-day that the fire was
caused by a man who was being tossed
in a blanket in the barrOom falling
against a lamp and Overturning It. The
fire quickly spread to the wooden stairs
and partitions. The barroom was full Of
men at the time Of the fire starting il
being the night of pay day at the mines.
A large number of the guests in the hotel
were intoxicated. and il was feared more
than four had perished. but the proprietor
thinks all the rest were saved.
COrOner's inquest was held to-day
and adjourned until Jim Fedewy. one Of
the guests who was injured in leaving the
burnipg building, Will be able TO testify.
There is no register kept Of the sleeping
men, and owing 10 the crowded condition
of the hotel II is impossible to tell how
many men are really missing.

Central.

Theodore Kremer's latest play, ''The
Angel of the Alley" drew a large au-
dience last night at the Central, and
scored an immense hit. 1t is by far the
best play Mr.. Kremer has written ad
sure to be more popular even than 1.-The
Bowery After Dark or 1.-The King of De-.
tectives." 1t was given a splendid pro-
duction and the numerous sensations
were enthusiastically applauded. The
most exciting incident In the play occurs
when the hero. unjustly condemned to
Gle, is placed in the chair to be electro
cuted. Just as the fatal signal is about
to be given heavy peal of thunder rends
the air and lightning strikes the prison.
The somber interest of the play is re-
lieved by vein Of genuine and highly di-
verting fun. The patrons of the Central
certainly get their moneys worth. The
cast is an excellent one and "The Angel
of the Alley" is sure to crowd the Central
at every performance. Next Monday a
thrilling novelty entitled THE Dangers of
Paris" will be produced.

"A Night on Broadway" was produced
for the second time at the California last
night by Murray and Mack and their
clever company. A good house was in
attendance and frequent bursts Of Iaueh-

dialogue, ridiculous speeches and anus

The end of the first and second acts was

PTTSBURG'S SUCCESS IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP
SERIES WITH BOSTON DEPENDS ON THESE MEN
With One Victory to the Pirates Credit Backers
of the Smoky City Set Are Now Offering
Odds that They Win Majority OF Games.

Pittsburg's team is a championship
organization, sure enough.
Seems lucky for the Boston Ameri-
cans that the team played no part in
the pennant race in Johnson's league.
That's the impressin gained from the
play in the first days game OF the
series for the championship Of the
world.
The way the Pittsburgers played
around the elite New Englanders has
Just set Boston fans to guessing.
There is a secret in the Pirates
success. All season they have played
together, forgetting at all times their
own records. Yet they have gone
along and made averages OF which
any player in the world might we'll be
proud.
There's Hans Wagner for one. He
led the National League batters. For
the season he hit at a .sS2 clip. That
Is a record no American League player
equalled. In the field n always sees
"Honus' ON the hustle. No hit ball Is
impossible for him. He does not always
get them. but he always tries. And
that he has been credited with
many errors. but the end OF the season
say him with a fielding average Of 1926.
Then Fred Clarke, leader OF
the Nationals champions. It's many
wears since Fred began playing ball.
and almost from the first he was num-
bered among the stars. He could al
ways nit and run bases. In covering
his position In left field he Is nearly
found where the ball is about
to drop. In hitting this wear he gained
an average Of 1856. and in fielding made
so few errors that his average in that
department was .964. /
