To FoerstaIl Fire Disasters.

Seattle, Jan. 9.--The fire and water
committee of the city council met last
night to consider the advisability Of
taking steps to investigate the condi-
tlon Of all theaters and other semi
public buildings with reference to their
safety In case of fire. After an ex-
haustive discussion the whole matter
was postponed for one week without
any definite action having been taken.
The discussion was based on council
resolution reciting the necessity Of such
action In view of the recent Chicago
holocaust.
Chief Cook. Of the fire department,
and Fire Marshal Kellogg were both
present to consult with the committee
over ways and means, but neither was
called upon to give any extended rec
in the matter. Chief
Cook intImated that the safeguards in
thp continuous show theaters along
First and Second avenues would prove
inadequate In the event Of a panic. He
lid not believe that the danger lay 80
much in fire, but in stampede which

PEOPLE OF SPOKANE ANGRY.
Do Not Take Kindly to Holding oi
Camp at American Lake.

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 9.-The Spo-
Kane Chamber Of Commerce will not
submit without a struggle to allowing
the National encampment for the Pa
cific states to be located at American
Lake, near Tacoma, in face Of the fact
that the site east of Spokane has been
recommended by General Randall, Of
the war department. The chamber is
preparing to take vigorous measures to
defeat the apparent object of Congress-
manCnshman and Senator Foster to 10
cate this near Tacoma, where they live.
Spokane business men, who are inter-
esting themselves in the matter, do not
understand how Tacoma gets so much
Of hold on this proposition. 1t was
decided to make American lake the site
for the state encampment for the state
militia and the government troops in
the state. It was supposed that the
bill which Mr.. Cushman was to intro
duce was to provide for this state en-
campment. Now, however, it seems,
he has Incorporated in 1t provision
that American lake shall besthe per-
manent camp-grounds for the Pacific
coast states.
This is what Spokane wanted and II
is what was sought by several other
western cities, including Salt Lake and
California points.

full in the past in dealing directly with
the officials Of the transcontinental
lines and have adhered to the policy OF
refusing to make legislative fights for
their own relief. The lumbermen have
taken the position that the interest OF
the lumber manufacturers and railroads
are identical. They point out that So.-
900 cars Of lumber and shingles are an
nually shipped from this state, while
the total shipments OF other products
do not exceed 10 per cent. of this total.
Under the circumstances the North
western lumbermen believe the rail-
roads will do their utmost to provide
facilities for handling the traffic.
A threat Of precipitating a fight be-
tween the lumbermen and railroads
would not create any alarm on either
side. Both insist they are able to take
care of themselves. The lumbermen de-
clare they could close for year II the |
railroads precipitated a fight and the |
roads contend they could get along |
