ATTEMPT MADE
TO FIRE BUILDING
WAD OF KEROSENE SOAKED
WASTE FOUND IN THE MORAN
BUILDING, WHICH WAS SET ON
FIRE BY AN INCENDIARY.

Some one attempted last night to de-
stroy the Moran building which occupies
the west side of Twentieth street from
Fourth avenue to the alley, by setting
fire to 1t. The fire was discovered about
9 o'clock and was easily extinguished, as
the flames burst through on the outside
and were seen before they did much
damage or gained much Roadway.
A wad of cotton waste was found on
the inside of the building at 40 Twentieth
street soaked with kerosene, and Chief
Mullen has this in his possession. 1t
was being used to set the building on
fire. He will turn 1t over to the police to-
day and request that they assist him In
catching the people who attempted to
burn the building.
When the fire was discovered 1t was
rapidly gaining, and had it burned five
minutes more 1t would have been al
most impossible to have saved that half
block, as the wind was blowing strongly
and would have tanned the flames.
There was very little damage done the
building. The fire was started in the
rear on the first floor, but In some man
ner the flames got on the outside OF the
building and were discovered instantly.
There is no clue to the people who set it
on fire.

CHOIR BOYS MAY
DIE OF POISONING
TWENTY-SEVEN MEMBERS OF
THE GETHSEMANE CHOIR IN
MINNEAPOLIS EAT BREAKFAST
AND BECOME ILL.

Minneapolis, April 3.-Twenty-seven
members of the boys choir of Gethsem-
ane Episcopal church of this city were
taken sick during the morning Easter ser
vice, and at an early hour tonight it was
feared that several of them might die.
The boys sang at the early service at $3.50
o'clock, and were then served with break
fast by the Ladies' guild in the Guild hall
of the church. When the time came for
the 1920 o'clock service, several of the
boys complained of feeling Ill, and before
the service ended, fourteen had been
forced to retire because of nausea.
The breakfast was simple one includ.
ing pork tenderloin, potatoes stewed in
milk doughnuts and coffee. AT first 1t was
thought that the poisoning was due to
trichinae, but this theory was questioned
later, the pork having been analysed ana
found to be absolutely pure. Theories of
ptomaine poisoning were advanced, but
up to a late hour tonight the doctors were
able to suggest no plausible reason for
the boys illness.

SCOTT MAKES HIS REPORT

London, April 4-The correspondent of
the Daily Mall at Christ Church. N. q,
has had an interview with Capt. r. F.
Scott, r. NJ. who commanded the Royal
Geographical Socety's antarctic expedi-
ton steamer Discovery. The captain
said that the great ice plain which the
expedition traversed was undoubtedly
fed from the ice cap of Victorialand, and
that since Ross time the ice had broken
back for thirty miles along the edge of
the barrier Capt. Scott said that his
expedition to the far western end of
Victorialand was undertaken under the
severest climatic conditions. the explor-
ers' heads and faces oeing literally cut by
the Icy blasts.
When the party crossed the S0th degree
for the first time in the worlds history,
the compass pointed exactly the wrong
way. Owing to the scarcity food and
the average march of ten miles a day,
each man lost about twenty pounds in
weight during the six weeks trip.
During the glacier trip the party had
an extremely narrow escape from being
precipitated into an enormous erevasse.
Captain Scott and one of the party
named Evans fell fourteen feet upon a
ledge. The latter, with the aid of the
cramps on his boots, managed to hang on
the edge Eventually Captain Scott
climbed up the almost perpendicular side
of the crevasse and Evans was rescued
with great difficulty.

LARGE CROWDS At
CATHOLIC MASSES
Music at ST PauI's Especially
Well Rendered
BEAUTIFUL AND CHURCHLY
Father o'Reilly Preached at High
Mass and Referred to the Fitting
Character of Gounod's Mu-
sic for Worship.

The Easter congregations at the Cath
lie services taxed the capacity of the
churches. The sun shone bright all day
but the air was cool. Before the hour ap-
pointed for the different masses the faith
full began to assemble ST. Pauls church
was filled at 7:30 a. m. The Rev. Father
ORelly said mass and administered Holy
Communion to about 400 persons.
The Rev. Father Benedict, o. 8. B.,
was the oelebrant at the o'clock mass
and was again the celebrant at high mass
at 1880. At the latter service not only
were the pews filled but the chairs placed
in the aisles were also filed and many
persons stood Father OReilly preached
an eloquent sermon on the resurrection
of Christ as an absolute proof OF Ills d.
vinity. Before beginning his discourse
Father O'Reilly referred to the nigh art
istie order and religious character OF Gou-
mods music, which the choir rendered.
He said no harmony could be more fitting.
"Gounod," he remarked, never wrote
dead note Every thing he composed for
the church was melodic and churchly."
The Music.
The choir, under the direction of Philip
Memoli, was in exceptionally fine form and
the orchestra was referred to by music
lovers as the best body of local musicians
ever heard in Birmingham. 1t was made
up of picked talent with John Calman
and Oliver Chalifoux on the first violin
parts.
The chior rendered the Kyrie, Gloria,
Credo and Agnus Del from Gounods
Troisieme Messe Solennelle and the
Sanctus and Benedictus from Gounod's
st. Cecilia. The Kyrie was sung to per-.
lection and all the numbers were finely
shaded. In attack and intonation the
singers acquitted themselves like pro-
fessionals. Mr.. Houppert delivered the
solo In the Sanctus and Miss Bertha van
Merkestyn was the soloist in the heaven
ly Benedictus.
For the offertory the orchestra played
Handlers Largo with Mr. Calman on the
solo violin
The professional and occasional hymns
and the Gregorian responses were sung
as usual by the boys choir in the sane
tuary.
Our Lady of Sorrows Church.
The Rev. Father James Meurer preached
at the 10 o'clock mass at the Church OF
Our Lady of Sorrows. His sermon was
short but appropriate to the great feast
being celebrated. He announced that next
Sunday a large class of children would
make their first communion at the 8
o'clock mass, and that on each day this
week he was giving the children special
instruction.
For the offertory yesterday Mrs. Leroy
Bickel sang Ave Verum." by Willard,
which gave her opportunity to reveal the
sweetness of her clear soprano voice. The
choir sang for the first time Rosewig5
mass, which Is bright and tuneful Mrs
u paI tho Gt and

posed of Mrs. Pearce O'Leary, Mrs. Lee

PRISoNERS DEPRESSED.
Japs Feel Sad at Prospects of Long
Imprisonment.

Tsitsihar Manchuria, Wednesday, March
23.-The Associated Press correspondent
met here the first batch of Japanese pris-
oners taken during the war, who are en-
route to Chi Ia, where they will be de-
tanned. The prisoners include major of
the Japanese general staff his wife and a
maid and seven soldiers, who were cap
tured in Korea by Cossacks. They were
heavily guarded and appeared to be
greatly depressed at the prospect of long
Imprisonment.
The major apparently was ignorant Of
foreign languages, but his wife spoke
Russian, claiming that she had learned
it in school in Toxic. This statement
together with Information given the cor
respondent, indicated that the prisoners
had been attached to the Japanese secret
service, though the woman denied that
her husband had sketched the scene of
prospective operations.

Alleged SwindIer Struggled
Hard But in Vain
OFFICERS IN A WRANGLE
Cincinnati Detective Slips Away With
His Prisoner While the Florida
County Officers Are Attempt
ing to Make Arrest.

Jacksonville, April 3.-(speclal)-L. C..
Ohio and Tennessee, rode out of Florida
today in a United staes mail car much
against his win and also against the will
of the state court officials A writ of
habeas corpus had been issued for him,
but Detective Dan Callahan of Cincin-
natl paid very little attention to the
writ. After Hardings release by the
federal authorities Callahan hurried him
out to Ybor City, suburb Of Tampa. While
deputy sheriffs were searching the train
Harding was bundled into the mail car.
To do this the detective had the assist
ance of Postoffice Inspector Bannerman,
of Chattanooga, who has been working
on the Harding case. The prisoner strug-
gled and made a terrific noise. but was
not heard by the deputies. who were in
ignorance of his whereabouts until after
the train had started.
AT Plant City, twenty-five miles from
Tampa, the deputies tried to compel the
detective to obey their writ, but the in
spector and mail clerk refused to open
the car door, the deputies then attempted
to bluff the conductor into holding the
train within the county limits until they
could report to the judge who Issued the
writ of habeas corpus.
The conductor refused, as 1t would be
violating the law to delay the mail The
assistant United States attorney was on
the train and he was appealed to and
asked to use his influence In securing the
transfer of Harding from the custody of
the Ohio detective to the state author-
ties. He refused. The train passed out
of the boundaries of the county and the
deputies had no more authority to act
They reported to Tampa and a telegram
was sent by the circuit court Judge who
issued the writ to the circuit court judge
In Jacksonville, asking him to issue writ
and secure possession of Harding. The
detective and postofhce inspector sus-
pected something of this kind, and fifty
miles from Jacksonville they changed
trains and again placed Harding In a mail
car. He was carried in this car from
Palatka to Atlanta without being inter-
fered with.
Harding is wanted In Cincinnati on a
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses. The federal authorities here
are glad to have him out of the state

Mr.. Bryan's Request.
Now | am reliably informed and have
every reason to believe 1t is true that
when Mr.. Bryan came east that year, Mr..
German met him In New York and Mr.
Bryan then expressed the wish that the
Maryland senator do not take an active
part in the campaign, basing his request
upon the explanation that there were a
greatmany people In the west whose sup
port he was counting upon who would be
driven away-he may not have put 1t that
strongly, but that was the purport of
his statement-if Senator German did
take an active part In his behalf. Sena-
tor German went home, did what he
could to carry his state for Bryan, was
defeated himself In consequence In the
light of these facts. 1t comes in bad grace
from Mr.. Bryan to be intimating that
Senator German did not give him enthu-
siastic support in that campaign.
Senator German has been criticised for
his tariff views by free trade extremists
but | do not believe he would lose one
genuine democrat because of any act of
his with relation to the tariff or any
vote he ever cast, while he would be very
likely to bring to the ticket thousands
of votes from the very elements whose
support we need. Senator German has
always been a democrat, and has never
apologized for his party affiliations: he
has always given the party's candidates
his loyal support, he has been a power
in public life and has necessarily made a
record
TT Is my Judgment that 1t would be
the better policy to select a man with a
record like his than one who is not so
well known, but |, of course, accord to
those who differ with me the right to
hold their own views. and in what | say
am simply. calling attention to the real
issue, which, in my judgment, will con-
front the delegates to the st. Louis con-
vention."
