TWO LIVES LOST AND PROPERTY
VALUED At OVER A MILLION
DOLLARS BURNED.
SCORE OF PERSONS INJURED
THREE HUNDRED BUILDINGS DE
sTRoYED AND FIVE HUNDRED
PEOPLE HOMELESS.

New York, Nov. Fin a blaze Sum
day that bsf1ed the firemen for seven
hours, the Bowery at Coney Island
was again laid in ashes.
Two lives SO far are reported to be
lost, one man m~ortally injured, a
score of others hurt, 800 buildings de-
stroyed, 500 persons made homeless,
and more than $~1,0O0,O00 damage
done. How many more dead are in
the ruins is not known at present. The
casualty list includes Lizzie Stein, six
years old, an unidentified negro dead,
and Albert Reuben, dying in Kings
county hospital.
The most severely injured include
six men and five women.
It was a fire marked by rescue not
alone by the police, but by citizens.
Before it had been an hour under way
the police could do nothing more than
to try to keep the $4,000 sightseers
out Of danger. Reserves from all the
precincts within ten miles were
brought there, while Deputy Commits
sioners Ebstein and Piper took gen
eral charge. The fire engines found it
impossible to get in action for nearly
four hours.
The alarm came from the hippo
drome, a low frame building used In
summer for a merry-go-round. The
1remen thought it would all be over
in a moment, but the blaze had gained
Roadway. It crept under the building
under the raised street around the
piling, and ten minutes later the Alba
tross hotel vas aflame. From that
time on, while alarm after alarm
brought every fireman within ten
miles, the fire seemed to jump from
walk to walk and from fimsy build
ing to flimsy building.
With the lack of water the fire had
the forest OF wooden structures at its
mercy and all that could be done was
to save life IL possible, and furniture.
Everything portable was carried out,
and soon Surf avenue for blocks was
impossible because of the barriers Of
household goods, weeping women and
children and complaining men.
The burned area extended from lily
Gus walk south to Jones walk, where
a brick wall saved the rest of the re-
sort, and from the Bowery to the
ocean, a distance of seven blocks. For
two blocks the flames cut a swath
westward Of the Bowery, reaching
Surf avenue. the principal thorough
fare of the resort. In all this terri
tory but two buildings are standing
untouched.
Two men, Frank Conley, a salesman,
and Peter A. Shelley, a bartender, are
under arrest. suspected OF knowing the
of the fire. They had been
cen passing in and out of the frame
building in which the blaze started.

WYOMING SHERIFF is. FATALLY
SHOT AND ONE OF HIS DEP.
uTlEs Is KILLED.
RED MEN ARE SLAIN
ARMED coWBoYs AND MORE OF.
FlcERs HAVE STARTED FOR
SCENE OF TROUBLE.

Douglas, Wyo., Nov. 2.-Sheriff John
A. McDermott of Converse county has
just received word of a battle fought
Saturday evening between the Sheriff
OF Weston county and posse and a
band OF Indians that they went to ar
rest, in which the sheriff was fatally
shot and Deputy Sheriff Falkenburg
was killed. Three Indians we're killed.
A number of cowboys Aned with
rifles left Sundaypasmorping, and an
other posse headed by Deputy Sheriff
Cook left Sunday afternoon for the
scene of the trouble. Another posse
left Lusk at night. There is great ex-
element here and all sorts Of rumors
are current.
Sheriff Miller and his deputies left
Newcastle twelve days ago to arrest
the Indians, who were in one band to
the number of twenty-five or thirty.
Ranchmen had reported that in addi-
ton to slaughtering large number of
deer and antelope the Indians we're
killing cattle and sheep, stealing
horses and committing other depre-
dations.
The Indians were trailed to near the
head of Beaver creek, where they had
camped. All of the men, save a few
old bucks, were. out on the plains
hunting game, and the camp was in
charge Of those who were preparing
the skins and meat for future use.
Sheriff Miller took possession of the
! camp, loaded the equipage on five va
CONS and sent the outfit back to New
castle in charge Of Lieutenant Hilton.
In company with Deputies James
Davis, D. o. Johnson, r. B. Hackney
and Frank Howell, the sheriff next
day set out on the trail of the party
of Indians. It Is not known where the
chase led, but the Indians had evident
~ received warning of the approach
Of the officers and attempted to get
out Of the country.
It is not known whether an ambus-
cade was laid for the officers on Light
ming creek, the scene Of the battle, or
whether the Indians resisted the off,
GERS after the warrants were read to
them, but the meager details indicate
the former.

FIRE IN THE VATICAN.
Great Sensation in Rome on Accoun
Of the Blaze.

Great Sensation in Rome on Account
of the Blaze.
Rome, Nov. 2.-Fire broke out at
$3.50 Sunday evening in that portion
Of the vatican containing the hall of
inscriptions, where the pope gives his
audience and which is adjacent to the
famous Pinacateca, or gallery of pic
lures. The alarm caused much con
fusion and excitement in the vatican.
Strenuous efforts were made to cor
ttrol the flames and the firemen OF
Rome were called to lend their help
| At 11:15 the fire was under control.l
| No-lives were lost. No idea Of the
damage can yet be obtained. :
The pope came to the scene in per-
son and remained until the arrange
ments to fight the fire were complet-
ed. The fire caused a greater sensa-:
ton in Rome than has any other event
since the death Of Pope Leo.
Fires in Rome are exceptional be-
cause of the heavy stone and brick
construction of the buildings, and the
outbreak Of the flames in such a con-,
spicuous place wherein were many
celebrated treasures brought out great
numbers of anxious people in spite of
the heavy rain which had been fall
ing throughout the day The safety
Of the pope was the first though In
everyone's mind. but this was 500
assured. When the pontiff arrived at
the lei he ordered everyone to as
sist in extinguishing the flames.
Italian authorities had been notified
of the fire and on arriving were in
vited to enter. Therefore, for the first
time since the fall Of the temporal
power of the vatican, the mayor Of
Rome, project, police officials and the
minister of justice entered the vatican
in their official capacities.
The precious private library Of Pope
Leo was badly damaged by water.

missioner Of the general land office
last year. Mr.. Hermann Is now q
membe. of congress from Oregon.
It has been discovered that when
Mr.. Hermann left the general land Of
fee, he destroyed no less than thirty
six large letter books containing
copies Of letters written to various
persons during his term OF office. It
has been reckoned that these books
contained fully 5000 copies OF letters.
Mr.. Hermann has been confronted
with the charge that he destroyed the
books and does not deny having done
SO. He does say, however, that the
letters were personal ones, and did
not pertain to the business of the in
terror department.
1t is believed that Secretary Hitch

his possession incriminates persons Of
considerable Importance, and the
names Of at least two or three of the
persons believed to be guilty are
known from one end of the country to
the other.

RECEIVER OF sHIPBuILDING COM.
PANY MAKES SENSATIONAL
ALLEGATIONS.

legations or W1llTul measurement n
Justification, swindling and fraud in
the organization and flotation Of the
United States Shipbuilding company,
of attempts to mislead and deceive the
investing public by pros
pectus statements and Of a deliberate
plan to wreck the company by with
holding the earnings Of the Bethle-
hem Steel company are contained in
the report of Receiver James Smith,
Jr., of the United States Shipbuilding
company, made public here Sunday.
The report concludes with the rec
ommendation that suit be brought
against all persons who received stock
Of the company without paying full
value therefor, including the promot-
ers Of the consolidation, the vendors
of the constituent plants, and Charles
M. Schwab, to recover from them such
amount as necessary to pay the debts
OF the company in full.
Receiver Smith also recommends
the sale of the Crescent shipyard plant
in New Jersey and the Harlan &
Hollingsworth plant at Wilmington,
Del, subsidiary plants now in partial
operation, to avoid further loss by
depreciation, and the enforcement of
a r~eceivership for the Bethlehem
Steel company to insure the payment
of dividends in the Bethlehem stock
held by the United States Shipbuild-
ing company.
In the words Of the report, the or
g%anfzation of the company is charac-
terized as an 'artistic swfndle," Re-
ceiver Smith stating that the value Of
the plants. their earnings and work
ing capital, given in alleged thorough
reports of expert accountants,
Vary So Much From Actual Figures
"as to impel the belief that the fig
ures were willfully misstated;" that
1t is extremely doubtful if such ac-
%countants' reports were submitted at
the organization OF the company; that
the organization was effected. by
officers; that statements in the pros
incorrect; that for property worth
$12,441 SIG the shipbuilding company
paid in stock and bonds 6 7.997, 900;
that "the accommodating directors Of
the United States Shipbuilding COM
pany in acquiring these companies de-
nberate'y gave away nan millions OF
dollars in the stock and bonds of their
company" wholesale plumber" the
receiver terms 1t, to a few persons
and that as far as the Bethlehem
Steel company is concerned, "its earn
ings have been withheld in a deliber-
ate attempt to wreck the United
| States Shipbuilding company"
The report deals fully with the
name of Charles M. Schwab, and the
nature of the Bethlehem transaction,
says Mr.. Smith, is such as ito justify
him (Mr. Schwab) in saying that he
did not sell the Bethlehem Steel COM
pany. but took over the United States
Shipbuilding company, the directors
of that company giving him $50, 000,-
900 in stock and bonds for taking it
off their hands,"
