New York. Nov. 21.-There will be

CUP. Yachtmen nave all agreed that
the International yacht races should be
sailed in August or September, and
under the regulations governing the
races it is too late for u challenge to

That special rule which prevents a
contest next year reads:
THE challenging club shall give ten
months notice in writing. naming the
days for the proposed races."

England and arrive here this month.

Sir Thomas secretly slipped Il chal-
!enge on board-and it is safe to say
he did not-the famous mug" can rest

With the passing OF all doubt as to
a challenge for next year the members
of the New York Yacht club have had
great load taken from their Shout

1t took half a million dollars to build
and race the Reliance, and many of
the wealthy members had to dig deep
into their pockets to defray the cos of

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 the
Missouri Worlds Fair pavilion, the stately
structure erected by the hostess state of
the Louisiana purchase was a mass Of
blackened ruins The structure originally
cost $4,000, and contained furniture and
decorations valued al $4,000.
In addition TO the loss of articles of a
stated intrinsic value, the fire also de-
stroyed portraits of former Missouri gov
errors and supreme court justices, and
many relics and articles dear to the Mis-
souri, people.
The contlagration was also responsible
for the injury of two city tiremen who
were buried beneath the walls and was
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 We're thrown from the truck
il 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
flame that tspurted from the top of the GU
polas. making a far greater b~rilliancy than
the illumination of all the BUILDINGS. A
Wine was blowing from the south, and the
names shot down the northern side of the
cupola and met a sheet of flame which
enveloped the northern wing. Instantly
the building was atlame 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
We're hurried to the roofs of these build
ings to prevent fire.
From all parts of the grounds fire de-
partmcnts had responded and were aug
mented by apparatus from the city de-
partment. Salvage corps We're formed by
both jefferson guards and worlds fair Wis.,
itors, and as much property as could be
secured within q few moments was car
ried into the Louisiana state pavilion ad-
lacent.
Eight streams of water poured into tho
burning building with apparently little
effect. the fire steadily eating it's way I'M
til only a portion of the south wing was
left standing. NJ. 4. 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
a hot water heater in the basement. The
building as it stood with all the furnish
ings cost in the neighborhood of 1926. 900.
If we had endeavored to sell the building
we could not probably have realized mere
than $1,000"

MONETARY REFORM.
Dollar Will Be Put on a Par. With
American Half Dollar.

Mexico City, Nov. 19.-President
Diaz, after listening to the opinions of
members of his cabinet council, APP
proved the plan of finance of Minister
Limantour for monetary reform and
ordered that a bill be SEN to congress.
The bill will be preceded by a long
exposition by Finance Minister Imam
tour, explaining the reasons and the
chief features of the project. It will
be sent to congress today.
The bill does not look to direct ac-
complishment of monetary reforms,
but authorizes the executive to carry
out the reform in due time and sub
ject to conditions fiXed in the bill.
The money medium will continue to be
Of silver, with it's weight and fineness
changed, but it's gold value will be
fixed at the equivalent of rs cento-
grams of the yellow metal, putting it
on a level with the United States half
dollar in value. The mints will only
suspend coinage to the extent Of not
adding to the internal circulation of
dollars, but they will continue to strike
subsidiary coins, Which will be given
out in exchange for dollars, and the
mints will also continue to turn out
the old style dollars If intended direct
ly for expectation. The transportation
of dollars will be prohibited, It is posi-
lively stated hat the measures in
preparation do not afford the slightest
ground for variation in the condition
of the silver market, as Mexico is sim
ply interested in holding up the price
of that metal.

hospital along with her 9-year-old son.
llba. Her sister-in-law says that Mrs
Waterbury's belief, SO far as it applies
to smallpox. has been strained. but nor
broken.
Mrs. Waterbury has had strong opin-
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
that contagious diseases could gain no
hold on a person who had the faith to
Withstand them. She went so far as to
disregard such precautions as the vac
clnation of herself and her children.
Mrs. Waterbury called on a relative
suffering from a mysterious illness.
which h tried to dispel with faith.
The illness was smallpox. Aroused to
furnish proof of her faith, she exposed
herself again. BY this time the health
department was on her trail. When she
was quarantined the disease broke out.
Her mother n another son are In

recovery--Charles Poglonio, 33 years
old, and Tony Triolo, 13, both of whom
are terribly burned.
Although. in the opinion of the COR
ohel, all the dead were suffocated, the
bodies were badly burned before they
could be taken from the ruins by the
tiremen.

pants were asleep at the time, and
there was considerable delay in send

The Giambolos family lived on the

but before the occupants on the two
other floors had been rouse Their
escape was cut off. Before the tiremen
had arrived the fire had communicated
to the adjoining tenement, but the ten
ants all escaped.
Hard Work of Firemen.
The work of the firemen was greatly
hampered for n time by the crowds OF
frightened Italians, who filled the
streets. The tenants in nearly all the
n~eighboring buildings dragged Their
household goods out of the buildings.
and with them blocked the way of the
fire apparatus.
All OF the bodies We're found in the
rear room Of h third floor, and it is
evident that all had been %suffocated in
their effort to reach the fire escape at
the back OF. the building. The two who
We're reached We're found in the lower
hallway.
Working their way through the build
ing, the rescuers discovered the near
OF dead on the third floor, and within
a Short time succeeded in taking out
nine bodies, but the last was not found
until late.
In his intervals of consciousness Pog-
Ionic cried for his wife and children,
and it is feared the knowledge of their
death will kill him and he has not been
told of their fate.
In their investigation as to the origin
of the fire the police have been unable
to Obtain a statement of any kind from
neighboring nants. The streets
about the burned building have beer
crowded with Italians all day, but the
police say that every one questioned
regarding the persons burned or the oc-
cuDants of the building has re-
fused to make any answer. 1t was with
great difficulty that the names of the
victims could be obtained.
The loss is SIC, 900.

finally acquiesclng IN the Judgment of her
lawyers.
1t took but u few minutes after the
examination of ta!isinan had begun to
settle a lot Of questions that had previ-
ously been IN doubt. Assistant District
Attorney Rand in examining the very first
man called. made the distinct statement
that he would rely on clrcumstantial evil
dence alone. The people have no eye
witnesses to the killing of Caesar
Young" he said.
Mr.. Levy. counsel for the defense, UNI
covered a part of the possible plan of the
defense a few moments later, when he
asked a talisman If the fact that the
defendant did not take the stand in her
W behalf, would prejudice his mind
against the case of the actress.
So it is to be a trial with circumstantiai
evidence. and the testimony of experts
only, and the only living person who saw
Caesar Young slain-the woman accused
OF Staying him-remaining dumb.
This question caused many a promis-
ing candidate for jury duty to retire:
"If it should appear that the defendant
had led an improper or meretricious life
with the deceased for a period of years,
knowing that he had a wife living, would
that fact serve to prejudice your mind
against her in arriving at your vcrdict?"
