GAS OVERCOMES
MANY FIREMEN
NOxiOus 0dOrs Retard the
Efforts to Extinguish
Flames in Broadway House

NEW YORK, June 29.-Forty-three
firemen, four Of whom probably will
die, were overcome by smoke and gas
at a fire to-day in the sub-cellar of
the double fve-story brick building at
4S3 and ass Broadway, extending
through to Mercer street. Half a hun
dred employees were driven from the
building and the damage inflicted by
fire, water and smoke was estimated at
between s150,0O0 and 100000 The fire
was so situated that it was difficult to
fight until it had burned over an hour.
The material was so dense that the
firemen could work in it only for a
few minutes at a time and many Of
those who braved it fell PROSTATE where
they stood. Some who fell lay un-
noticed on the floor for many minutes
and one man remained for nearly an
hour before finally discovered and
dragged to the open air to be cared for
by a large relief force which had been
summoned. The breaking of gas mains
inside the building and the consequent
filling of the burning structure with
thousands Of cubic feet of illuminating
gas added greatly to the difficulty and
the danger.
Captain Edward Levy and Firemen
Patrick McKeever, John Address and
John Riley viii probably die from
their injuries, while Battalion Chief
William Guerin, Lieutenant John H.
Link and five firemen are in a danger
Gus condition and thlrty-two others

PICNIC TRAIN

Special Dispatch to Tn. Call.

SAN JOSE, June 29.-An excursion
train conveying 1900 members of the
ST. Francis de Sales parish of Oakland
to Sunset Park was wrecked near
Alma, in the Santa Cruz Mountains,
this forenoon. Almost miraculously
none of the passengers were injured.
In some unaccountable manner two
cars jumped the track and the engine
went over an embankment. The
twelve other cars, that were heavily
laden with women and children, re-
mained on the rails.
The accident occurred just above
Alma, at the old tunnel. The engineer
and fireman saved themselves by
jumping. For time there was almost
a panic among the passengers. Rev.
Father McSweeney, pastor of the
church, was present and he quieted the
parishioners. The track was blocked
by the wreck. An engine pulled the
excursion train back to Los Gatos and
the picnic was held in Bunker Hill
Park at that place.

PRESS POTENT
FOR JUSTICE
Judge Pritchard of United
States Court Defines the
Limitation of Newspapers
COURT NOT INFALLIBLE
Decision Is Rendered in
Case of Editor Who Was
Sentenced for Contempt

ASHEVILLE, N. c., June 29.-Judge
]. c. Pritchard of the United States
Circuit Court to-day filed his opinion in
the celebrated case of Josephus Dan
iels. Daniels, who is editor of the
Raleigh News and Observer, had been
fined $4,000 for contempt of court by
District Judge Purnell
Judge Pritchards opinion will be re-
cognized as an authority in regard to
newspaper utterances that might be
construed as contempt of court.
The text Of the decision in part fol-
lows:
The force Of public opinion in this country
in favor of the freedom of the press has
restrained the free exercise of the power TO
punish this class of contempts and in many
jurisdictions statutes have been enacted de-
priving the court of the power TO punish them
1t was taken from the Federal courts by act
OF Congress of 1881, which act deprives those
courts of the common law power to protect
and themselves against the libel of the press
though published and circulated pending the
trial of a therein.
That newspapers sometimes engage in un
warranted criticism of the courts cannot be
denied. In some instances they construe the
liberty of the press as a license TO authorize
them to engage in wholesale abuse of the
courts, but these instances and do not
warrant a departure from the well-settled
principles of the law as declared by Con-
gress and construed by the courts. If Judge
charged with the administration of the law
is not to be criticized on account Of his
official conduct the liberty of the press Is
abridged and the rights of individuals i'm
periied
There may be instances where the publica
tion of editorials other matter in news
papers would bring the. author within the
limitations of the statute For instances II
a newspaper should publish article con-
corning a trial which was being considered
by jury and should send copy of the paper
containing such article o iurymen thereof
during the progress of the trial for the purpose
of influencing them in their decision. 1t would
present question whether such conduct would
not be misbehavior In the presence of the
court. thereto to obstruct the
administration of justice.
1t appears that the distinguished judge who
adjudged the petitioner to be in contempt OF
court exceeded the authority granted in the
act of 1881 and that the court was without
Jurisdiction Such being the case, the Judg
ment of the court is void and therefore
nullity
In view of the foregoing the court finds that
the petitioner is unlawfully restrained of his
liberty and IL is therefore considered and or
dered by the court that the said Josephus
Daniels be discharged from the custody of the
Marshal Of the United States and that he go
hence without delay.

WASHINGTON. June 29.-The State
Department has taken note of the press
reports Of the dispatch Of warships by
France and Germany to Hayti to COM
pei reparation for the attack upon
French and German Ministers recently
in Port au Prince. The department
has not been formally advised of the
intentions Of France and Germany. but
assumes that these reports are per-
fectly correct. Following its invaria BILE
rule in such cases, the department will
not intervene unless some act is COM
mitted that appears to be beyond the
bounds OF strict justice.
1t is said that the State Department
never has taken the ground that the
smaller republics ought TO be protected
by the United States as against re-
clamations by European. powers for
violated contract obligations or against
proper demands arising out of viola
tiOns in international obligations. such
as it is alleged are involved in this at
tack on the foreign Ministers.
Developments viii be watched with
keen interest to see that the line is
properly drawn and undue punishment
is not afflicted. It is not doubted that
the Haytian Government will supple
ment its inadequate letter Of apology
by Furnishing the guilty guards when it
realizes that it cannot look for inter
vention by this country.
