Are Implicated In Wholesale
Looting at Recent Fire.
NAMES ACCUSED NOT GIVEN.

In the Late Louisville Fire 1t Is SAID
that Much Looting Was Done and
Many Flremen Are Said To Be I'M
pIicated. :.
Louisville, KY, Nov. 21.-Six mem

| looting in yesterdays blaze which de-
stroyedthe old Masonic temple.
Both Mayor Gainger and Chief Ty-

the names of the accused men. Under
the ire department regulations the
men are allowed "a hours notice be-
fore appearing to answer charges.
Men of Hook and Ladder.
The men implicated belong to two
hook and ladder companies, and fine
goods identified as having been in a
JeWelry store and a drug store were
found in the lockers and under the
mattresses of the men in the engine
house. The most remarkable state
ment is mad by witness and which
in part instigated the proceedings that
firemen were seen to sit down in two
shoe stores while the fire was raging
over their heads and deliberately try
on shoes until they found a pair which
fitted. Charges that one hose reel
company carried back to the engine
house, after the fire, three dozen pairs
OF shoes were made by spectators
Meershaum Pipes Taken.
One hundred and fifty dollars worth
OF meerchaum pipes were taken from
a ease in the Fowler drug store: the
box office of the Hopkins theater and
trunks in the dressing room were RI
fled; desks were broken open, in one
case an axe being used to get into a
drawer.
The cash drawer in the box office
OF the theater was opened by picking
the lock and SIS in cash was stolen.
Inc drawer was thrown into another
part OF the house. One trunk be.
longing to an employe of the animal
show was broken open and two pis.
tolls were stolen. The jewelry store
OF Rodgers and Krull was looted of all
the valuables worth over $1,000. Fine
operaglasses, silverware and other ar.
ticles were taken.
Mayor Graneer's Statement.
Mayor Charles r Grainger who mr.
dered the investigation, said today:
Evidence of looting at the fire was
brought before me and | am sorry to
say that members of the firede part.
ment are implicated We ordered a
search Of the engine houses and the
detectives have already found many
articles. 1t is not the amount or the
value OF the property stolen; it is the
principle of the thing. I was deeply
grieyed and surprised to find that the
tremen, the men on whom the com.
munity rely to protect their property,
had been stealing it.
They will be tried before the vboard
OF pubnc safety and also criminallv
for what they are charged with doing.
So far six are implicated. There are
to be more; if SO, we will find them
out and all will suffer alike for the
crimes"

partment, was hunting in Indiana al

A Pi0neor Preacher.

Rev. Angus Johnson and wife of
Avalon were in the city yesterday
visiting friends. Mr.. Johnson is "a
years old and has been a minister
in the Presbyterian church o. years
In spite Of his adv vanced age he is
still stout vigorous man and is
actively engaged in ministerial
work. Mr.. Johnson says his eye
sight is failing him some, otherwise
he is perfectly sound physically.
Mr.. Johnson never misses and OPP
portunity to do some work for the
benefit and uplifting of humanity
and Yesterday while talking to the
reporter suggested that it would be
good idea for the city pastors TO
go to the county farm on Sunday
afternoons and preach TO the unfort-
uuate people confined there. He
said they could alternate and thus
give the county convicts the gospel
once a week with but little incon-
yenience to themselves.

THE PROTRACTED MEETING


A good audience assembled at the
Main Street Christian Church last
night to hear Mr.. Hamlin of Fort
Worth on 1.-The Holy Spirit and
How He Operates. One incident
showed his aptness in Illustrations.
He was emphasizing the thought
that our feelings are always the re-
suit of suggestions to our minds
when he turned suddenly and said
Brother Mcpherson, that boy has
a telegram for some one. Some
body may be dead" The entire au-
dience turned to look, one of the
ushers rushed to the door and a
considerable sensation was pro-
duced. A smile played over the
speakers face as he said There is
no telegram. Your feelings were
produced by a suggestion to your
mind" The sermon was very ear
nest one and abounded in scriptural
thoughts and quotations. There
was an evident interest throughout
the service.
The subject of the sermon tonight
will be Singing for Jesus" The
song service under the leadership of
Mr.. Brewer will begin at O'Clock
and the sermon half hour later.
All are most cordially invited to
attend.

"s.andine Pat" But Leaning.

JudgIng from the Ohio Republicans
platform of few days ago, Mark Han
ma is still standing pat" but is be-
ginning to lean sideways and is getting
ready to step toward the iowa idea"
After modestly crediting the Dingley
tariff with all the blessings that this
country has enjoyed during the last
few years as a result of good crops and
after lambasting the wicked Democrats
for planning to destroy all American
industries his platform pays the fol-
lowing tribute to the Iowa idea" -
Changing conditions and the possible
benefits of reciprocity may call for
timely readjustment of schedules, but
protection as a principle and as a
policy must be administered by the
friends of American prosperity and
must not be sacrificed"

Nice Little Love story.

A dreamer and man Of action loved
a woman.
The dreamer said: st shall write
verses in her praise. They will touch
her vanity, and she will love me for
them"
But the man of action said: How
old fashioned! 1 shall corner the stock
market, and that will bring her.
So the dreamer wrote verses! and he
Induced friend of his who ran a mag
azine to print them. And the man of
action cornered something or other and
became a Millionaire.
In the meantime the girl married n
man who inherited his money and
lived happy ever after.
But the dreamer was so proud of his
verses that he didn't care, and the man
of action was so busy that he didn't
care.
The only one to suffer was the man
she married.-Smart Set.

They Can't Reform.

The "black and tans" have defeated
the lilly whites" In Alabama. and the
same kind of purchasable delegation
will be on hand at the next Republican
national convention that has sold out
to the highest bidder in times past. 1t
seems impossible for the Republican
party to reform. even when 1t is to it's
manifest advantage. Buying delegates
has become rule whenever there is
a contest and the candidates have the
price in their pockets.

Gen. Hooker, the aged democrat
from Mississippi, has occasion to re-
member the death of the late Maj.
John w. Powell in more ways than
as regards their personal friendship.
At Vicksburg Gen. Hooker lost his
left arm; at Shiloh Maj. Powell lost
his right arm. For many years the
two have purchased their gloves to-
gether. one pair serving for both
men. whose hands were of the same
size. In the house there is n young
employee, who has lost his right arm.
Now. whenever Gen. Hooker purchas-
es a pair of gloves he divides them
with this young man.

The Pacific Gable.

Of the many features of the Fourth
of July celebrations i'll the United
States. one that did and will attract
special interest is the achievement
and celebration of the telegraphic in
dependence of this nation. Until now
its cable communications with some
of the Ocean-sundered territories I'M
der its flag have been in part within
the jurisdiction and control of other
countries. Henceforward American
cables will connect Washington and
New York with all the islands of the
sea that are within the union or SUB
ject to its sovereignty.
An event of the largest Importance,
both in a political and a commercial
sense, was marked by President
Roosevelt's message, which, starting
from Oyster Bay, made a complete
circuit of the globe in less than 10
minutes. Politically this places the
United States on footing of equality
with Great Britain in telegraphic re-
sources. The control of cable connec-
tions will be a vital consideration in
all the naval wars of the future. 1t
would have saved the government of
the United States, and particularly
the navy depa rtment, many anxious
hours if in the war with Spain the
new circuit of cables opened Satur-
day had been at its service. And COM
merciaIIy its influence must be pow
erful in charging American trade
with all the ports of the Pacific.
BY electrical lines of cOmmunica-
ton every part of the civilized world
is now, with few trifiing exceptions,
in touch with every other part. The
future still holds the full realization
of what this means. The question
now is, how long will it be before,
trusting to the historic precedent of
the postoffice, which increased both
revenues and profits under cheap
postage, the cable companies will get
together and establish a universal
cheap cable rate that will really bring
all mankind into undertaking rela-
tions instead of its small commercial
fraction only?

Impotence goes to such lengths
sometimes as to become criminal. In
a New York court the other day Il
young burglar was brought up to re-
ceive sentence. The judge told him
he would give him four years at Sing
Sing. TO this the young man gave an
impudent answer and the Judge told
him he would change the sentence
and make it six years. The officer
started to lead the burglar away,
when he made another disrespectful
remark about the judge, which the
court overheard. and he was then call
ed back and the sentence changed to
nine years. He really got four years
for burglary and five years for impu-
dence. and the sentence was no doubt
just one.

How 1t Looks to Him who Pays.

This administration will be noted for
Its Junketing propensities. The presi-
dent, cabinet and higher officials are
away from Washington more than
half the time. and all travel on special
trains or passes by favor of the rail-
road combinations. 1t hardly looks
reasonable that recipients of these ia
vors can be seriously fighting the rail-
road mergers, but we shall see. all in
good time. So far the average citizen
who pays his fare has received no re-
duction In rates.
