Kansas-and it was expected that he would
correct many of the evils alleged against
his predecessor, but Mr.. Ware has failed
to make good. He has been arrogant in
the office over which he presides and die
tatorial to those under him. Pensioners
have suffered at his hands, as well as news
papers. 1t was but few months ago that
Mr.. Ware suspended the issuance Of proof
slips containing the names of the persons
granted pensions and the allowances.
Former commissioners believed that the
pensions granted, original pensions and In
oreases contained features which the news
papers might comment upon or use in their
news columns. Mr.. Ware, however took it
upon himself to suspend the issuance of
these slips, with the result that he has on
file in his office hundreds Of protests
against his ruling.
Speaking of pensions, the pension bureau
has now taken up claims arising under the
act of congress approved March 2, 1903 re-

INDIANAPOLIS, April 1.-Two dead and
i've severely injured is the record OF fire
which destroyed the house Of DR.. Joseph
Haas today.
The dead:
NATHAN MORRIS, an attorney.
FRANK HAAS, the 12-year-old son Of
DR.. Haas
The injured:
Mrs. Joseph Haas.
Miss Belle Haas.
Miss Rose Haas.
Louis Haas, broken leg.
Miss Grace Lemon, governess.
The flames, which originated with a de-
fective furnace, spread with alarming ra-
pidity, enveloping the whole house before
the unfortunate inmates were fully awake.
From tho position of the bodies 1t seems
clear that once aroused to their danger the
victims made frantic efforts to escape.
Louis jumped from the second story win
dow, while Frank Haas and he governess
endeavored vainly TO fee by the back stairs.
Mr.. Morris evidently neglected his own
chance TO escape and devoted the last min
utes Of his life to an attempt to rescue the
other members of his family. He appears to
have sounded the first warning and to have
then gone around trying to aid his rela-
tives. Finally, however, the smoke and
flames were too much for him and he fell
exhausted to his death.
He was a brother Of Mrs. Haas and senior
partner of the commercial law firm of
Morris & Newberger. He was born in
California in 1857 and had practiced law
in indianapolis since 1877.

Fans Get but One Scare and that a
Needless Ohe-StiH Breezes Give
FIeIders Chance for
Fame.

Omaha redeemed itself yesterday by TAX
ing the second and last of the series with
Des Moines by a score of 8 to 3. 1t was
a bad Easter overhead and the chilly winds
kept all but few Of the fans away, but
they were sufficiently boisterous to make
up for the vacancies in the grands and
1t was Omahas game all the way through
and never did Des Molnes look as II 1t
could head 1t off. The heavy wind made 1t
very difhcult to Judge high fys and the
flelders on both sides had an opportunity
to distinguish themselves by gathering in
the wind -swerved balls.
The first two runs for Papa Bill's boys
came in the second. cap Stewart pasted
the ball out along the ground for a single
and Patterson got up to the bat. He hit
the ball to Durkee, but failed to reach
first ahead Of It. Then Gonding stepped
UP and, picking out floater, knocked the
ball out into middle and Ace" came home.
The hoodoo had been broken and Hender-
son proceeded to make sure of 1t by pound
ing out a nice, long triple to center,
while Johnny came marching home y
This was the last OF the scoring for this
inning. In the fourth Undertaken Quinn s
family managed to sneak in run and
Omaha added three more runs to its score
TO clnch the game
BIeachers Get Scare.
Until the last OF the ninth it was one,
two three and out. Then the bleachers
got an awful scare. With one man out,
Henderson gave Hoffer a base on balls and
Vandine hit a hot one to Stewart Stewart
gathered it up and threw it wildly in the
direction Of flrst base. 1t went down
toward the bleachers and Patterson fol-
| lowed it and succeeded in initiating stew
arts throwing, 80 Hoffer got home and
Vandine got to third. Durkee was next up
| and he hit the ball for seemingly safe
single. Dolan -felded it In and threw 1t to
Pa terson, who let 1t go through his
fingers, and another man scored. That was
enough monkeying and so they settled
down and put out two men and took the
