MILLION N-DOLLAR LOSS
CAUSED BY DOCK FIRE
Seven Freight and Coal Piers OF
the Lackawanna Road Burn
at Jersey City.
DESPERATE FIGHT MADE
Firemeti Powerless for Hours
Rolling Stock, Merchandise and
Floating Property Burn.

NEW YORK, May 29.-Seven freight and
coal piers of the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western Railroad in Jersey City were
destroyed by fire that started about .
o'clock this afternoon on the barge Allen
c. Churchill, which lay alongside Pier II.
Only four persons received injuries that
required them to be taken to the hospital.
and Yone of these was hurt seriously. The
loss is about 100000.
The fire spread quickly to the pier, lot
of barrels of oil being near. and the flames
progressed rapidly. Pier II was 500 feet
long and was soon ablaze its entire length,
and the firemen who were trying to fight
the fire from the shore were able to ac-
complish but little.
The flames swept to Pier IL and beyond.
being finally checked at Pier 8, which is a
new coal trestle, steel framed and IRON
clad. Here the fremen and fireboatS made
a desperate stand and stayed the advance
of the fire until the burning piers crumbled
and fell into the water. Although, there
was but little wind, sparks fell all along
the water front for the better part of a
mile, endangering the Lackawanna depot,
and even the Hamburg-American line and
Bremen line piers, where the firemen were
kept busy playing streams of water on the
buildings and over the ships at their docks.
A number of canal boats and several tugs
variously estimated at from thirty to 200.
The number of freight cars burned is not
known, but on this class of rolling stock
and on coal cars the loss will be heavy.
Piers IL and Is were full of general mer-
chandise. Piers z, S, and 10 were used for
coal and Pier 6 for grain.
Vice President Loomis, of the Lacka-
wanna, placed the total loss by the fire at
s5.000.0OO based on the original cost of the
piers burned. on the freight stored on them
and TO some extent on the loss of business
which must necessarily ensue- The Lacka-
wanna Company. Mr.. Loomis said, carries
its own insurance.

WOULD RESTRICT SALE OF
NARCOTICS AND PO|SONS
Indiana Druggists Will Take the
Initiative in Securing Legislation
to Curb dope Fiends."
LOCAL MEN INTERESTED
Matter to Be Brought Up at Meet
b ing of Indiana Pharmaceutical
Society This Week.
.OCAL MEN INTERESTED

The next General Assembly Of Indiana
will be asked to enact a law restricting the
sale of poisons and narcotics. A movement
has been started to this end by leading
druggists of the State. and definite cam
paign will be inaugurated this week at the
meeting of the Indiana Pharmaceutical So
ciety at Fort Wayne.
The rapid increase in the number of peo-
pie who are addicted to the use of mar
cotics and stimulants to the extent that
they become moral, mental and physical
wrecks has led the druggists of Indiana
to take the initiative in securing this leg
islation Within the last few years the
druggists state the increase in the demand
for narcotics, morphine, and cocaine in
particular, has beel startling, and with
the increase in the demand for the drugs
has come a corresponding increase in the
number of wrecks-"dope fiends.'' in police
parlance-who find their way to hospitals.
asyIums. jails. workhouses. reformatories
and prisons.
The druggists, who are the first to come
in direct touch with these unfortunates.
have been impressed with the necessity of
a remedy for the evil. and will urge re-
strictive legislation in spite of the fact that
II Will result III iOSS Ol pfOHldDle DuSlTtSS
to themselves They point out that the
fact that il is easy to get the narcotics
and stimulants is largely responsible for
the increased number of salves to the
habit.
Prominent Indianapolis drug dealers are
interested in the movement, and will be on
hand at the meeting of the Pharmaceutical
Society to participate in the discussion of
the subject. which will be feature of the
programme. The legislation proposed will
be an amendment to the present pharmacy
law. which will prohibit the sale of any
poisonous or narcotic drugs except on the
prescription of regularly licensed physi-
clan.
The druggists of the larger cities are more
awake to the drug evil because il is in the
centers of population that most of the
victims are found.
The sessions of the Indiana Pharmaceu-
tical Society Will be held Wednesday and
Thursday at the Wayne Hotel in Fort
Wayne About twenty-five or thirty In
dianapolis druggists will be in attendance
and a large number of representatives of
the wholesale establishments will avail
themselves of the gathering to get in touch
with the retailers.
Arthur Timberlake. of this city, is the
secretary of the society.

METHODIST MEETING Is
ENDED At LOS ANGELES
Last Session of General Confer
enCe Not Finished Until Sum
day Morning.
IMPORTANT WORK DONE.
Executive Action Taken Makes
Church History-Memorial
Day Services.
IMPORTANT WORK DONE

LOS ANGELES, Cal, May 29-It was
after midnight when the General Con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church
finished the final roll call last night, which
brought TO a close the most memorable
gathering in the history of the church.
To-day memorial services were held during
the afternoon and in the evening jubilee
service at the pavilion closed the series of
meetings When the final roll call was
taken last night 600 of the $50 accredited
delegates were in their seats.
The conference just closed has accom-
plished much for the interest of the Meth
odist Church.
The action of the General Conference in
retiring five bishops and electing eleven
others probably attracted the widest atten-
tion of any other single happening. but
there were many other subjects that affect
ed the great membership of the Methodist
Church and which were watched with deep
interest.
Among these were the decision TO stand
by the present attitude of the church on
the subject of prohibited amusements; the
refusal to return to the time limit of pas
toral services; the generating of certain
theological schools of the charge of heret-
ical teachings: the unfcation of the Meth
odist publishing houses; the consolidation
of the boards of church benevOlence: pro-
vding of support for superannuated min
listers; fixing the status of superannuated
bishopS: creating a commission to revise
the ritual of the church; continuing the
commission appointed four years ago to
bring the various branches of Methodism
closer together In the use of common prayer
books, hymnal and catechsms: a referen-
dunn of the much discussed question of a
colored bishop. and many other matters
of similar Importance.
To-day memorial sermons were preached
in nearly every Protestant church in this
city and in other nearby cities by bishops
and ministers in attendance on the con-
ference.

judgment. which was that either Mr.. Olney
or Judge Gray might have proved the
strongest candidate for the nomination in
the contest with Mr. Roosevelt
Circumstances and the state of public
sentiment were such. however, that months
ago II became apparent that Judge Parker
was the man upon whom the conserva tive
element OF the party could and should con-
centrate. Neither the circumstances nor
the state ofspublic sentiment have changed.
and Judge Parker remains now, he has
been for some months, the logical candidate
