Committee

st. Louis, Nov. 22,-The discussion
of who spent the $4,000 which It is

WORLDS FAIR FIRE.
Spectacular Blaze Destroys the Mis-
souri, State Building and

ST. Louis, Nov. 22.-Four hours after a
heater exploded in the basement of tho
Missouri Worlds Fair pavilion, the stately
structure erected by the hostess state OF
the Louisiana purchase was Il mass Of
blackened ruins. The. structure originally
cost $4,000, and contained furniture and
decorations valued at $75, 600.
In addition to the loss of articles of a
stated intrinsic value, the fire also de-
stroyGd portraits of former Missouri gov
'ernors and supreme court justices, and
many relics and articles dear to the Mis-
souri, people.
The confagration was also responsible
for the injury of two city f1remen who
were buried beneath the walls and waa
the cause of the death o ia driver of a
worlds fair hook and ladder and serious
injury to two members Of the same COM
pany who were thrown from the truck
In a collision with a tree while responding
to the alarm.
The fire was the most spectacular that
has occurred in ST. Louis IN years. Thou
sands Of persons hurried from all points
OF the grounds attracted by the sheet of
fame that spurted from the top Of the GU
polas, making a far greater b~rilliancy than
} the illumination of all the buildings. A
wind was blowing from the south, and the
flames shot down the northern side of the
cupola and met a sheet Of flame which
enveloped the northern wing. Instantly
the building was afla1ne from top to the
bottom In the northern half. Sparks were
carried over the United States govern
ment building and as far northwest as
the liberal arts palace. Bucket brigades
were hurried to the roofs of these build
ings to prevent fire.
From all parts of the grounds fire de-
partments had responded and were aug
mented by apparatus from the city de-
partlnent. Salvage corps were formed by
both Jefferson guards and world fair Wis
itors, and as much property as could be
secured within a few moments was car
ried into the Louisiana state pavilion ad-
jacent.
Eight streams of water poured into the
burning building with apparently little
effect, the fire steadily eating its way I'M
til only a portion Of the south wing was
left standing. M. T.. Davis, president of
the Missouri worlds fair commission, who
was In the building when the explosion
occurred, said:
'The fire started from the explosion Of
d hot water heater in the basement. The
building as It stood with all the furnish
ings cost in the neighborfiood of SOS 600
If we had en~deavored to sell the building
we could not probably have realized more
than 5000"

FAITH DIDN'T WORK.
Christian Scientist Thought it Wouia

Chicago, Nov. 22.-Mrs. w. c. Water
bury, Christian Scientist and faith
healer, was under the impression that
faith could ward off smallpox and that
she was immune. She knows better
now. She is being treated for smallpox
by physicians in the Chicago Isolation
hospital along with her 9-year-old son..
Elba. Her sister-in-law says that Mrs.
Waterbury's belief, so far as it applies
to smallpox, has been strained, but not
broken.
Mrs. Waterbury has had strong opill-
ions on the subject of healing by faith
for some time. She held that not only
simple disorders of the system might
be dissipated by the power of mind, but
hat contagious diseases could gain no
hold on a person who had the faith 10
withstand them. She went so far as to
disregard such precautions as the C.
cination of herself and her children.
Mrs. Waterbury called IN a relative
suffering from a mysterious Illness,
which she tried to dispel with faith.
The illness was smallpox. Aroused to,
furnish proof of h~ersfaith, she exposed
herself again BY this time the health
department was on her trail. When she
was quarantined the disease broke ont.

FATAL NEW YORK FIRE
Twelve italians Are smothered by
Smoke and Flames Before Reach
ina the Street.

New York, Nov. 22.-Smothered b
tore they could reach the fire escape In
a burning building at 1856 Troutmar
street. IN the Williamsburg district OF
Brooklyn, twelve persons met death
Two entire families, those of Msranio
Trlolo ard Charles Pologpio, are wiped
out, the last living member of each be-
ing now in a hospital with no hope Of
recovery-Charles Poglonio, 80 years
Old, and Tony Triolo, 13, both of whom
are terribly burned.
Although, in the opinion Of the cor
oner, all the dead were suffocated, the
bodies were badly burned before they
could be taken from the ruins by the
firemen.
The burned tenement house is in the
center of a row of three-story tene-
nients extending the length of the
oiock, and was occupied by italians
The fire is supposed to have started in
the cellar of the grocery store Of An
tonic Giambolos, on the ground floor.
The cellar was stored with intlammab,e
material. and the flames spread with
lightning-like rapidity. All the occu-
pants were asleep at the time, and
there was considerable delay in send
ing in the first alarm.
The Giambolos family lived on the
first floor and succeeded in getting out,
but before the occupants on the two
other floors had been aroused theiI
escape was cut off. Before the firemen
had arrived the fire had communicated
to the adjoining tenement, but the ten
ants all escaped.
Hard Work of Firemer.
The work OF the fremen was greatly
hampered for a time by the crowds OF
frightened Italians, who filled the
streets. The tenants in nearly all the
n%eighboring buildings dragged their
household goods pnt of tba b,,i16iDrs
and with them blocked the way of the
fire apparatus.
All of the bodies were found in the
rear room OF the third floor, and it is
evident that all had been s%uffocated In
their effort to reach the fire escape at
the back of h building. The two who
were reached were found in the lower
hallway.
Working their way through the build
ing, the rescuers discovered r.ie heap
of dead on the third floor, md within
short time succeeded in taking out
nine bodies, but the last was not found
late.
In his intervals of consciousness Pog-
cried for his Wife n children,
IND it is feared the knowledge of their
death will kill him and he has not been
old of their fate.
In their investigation as to the origin
Of the fire the police have been unable
70 obtain a statement Of any ind from
leighboring tenants. The streets
about the burned building have been
crowded with Italians all day, but the
police say that every one questioned
,egarding the persons burned or the oc-
used to make any answer. 1t was with
great difficulty that the names Of the
,ictinls could be obtained.
The loss Is $40, 900.

ROBBED OF $4,000.
t-orepaushtSells Show Loses a Large
Sum of Money From Its Ticket
wanop

norfolk. Va, Nov. 22.-While en-
route on a fiat car between G~reenville
II Tarboro, N. c., the ticket wagon
or the ~Forepaugh & Sells Bros circus
was entered and robbed of $50, 600. The
entrance to the wagon was effected by
the use Of the regular keys, which had
been stolen from the treasurer of the
circus. The robbery was not discov-
cred until after the entire circus, which
was travelling in three sections on the
Atlantic Coast line, had reached Tar
boro.
The ticket wagon was on the section
which arrived at Tarboro at | O'Clock
Saturday morning. The first section
reached there a half hour earlier and
the third at 3 o'clock in the morning.
1t was 5 o'clock before the robbery had
been discovered and from tina time
until late at night when the last re-
port was received in Norfolk by tele-
phone a continuous search of the eff
reefs OF the people connected with the
circus q been in progress. The po-
nee are holding a man and women,
both performers, on suspicion of hav-
ing committed the robbery. 1t has been
impossible so far to secure the names
of these two persons.
Several theories are held by the DO
lice and circus people. One Of these is
that the robbery was committed while
the train was in motion and that the
money was thrown off the train.
Searching parties are at work along
the line between TarbOro and Green
vile in an effort to find any trace Of
the money or of any person who might
lave left the train with 1t. Up to
this time no one has been missed from
the circus crowd.
Another theory is that the cash has
been hidden in Tarboro by the rob-
bers and innumerable search war
rants have been sworn out and armed
with these the regular police and
special detectives are searching every
place in TarborO thought likely to 0 m
ceal the money. There were a score of
arrests made during the day among
the circus people. All ~apprehended
were taken into custody on suspicion
and while in the town lookup their be-
longings We're searched at the show
grounds.
Absolutely no trace Of the money has
Heen found.

Miss Patterson Cheerful.
Miss Patterson seemed in very 5000
