rCS population, which approached 200,
nc scenes about the building after the
me- when the search for the dead was

pitlaole had been seen in New York
SINCE the Slocum disaster.
Inc flre started in the basement. o.
cupled by Isaac Davis, his wife and three
cnliofen. Davis had been out Monday
mishl and returned to his home early
tuesday morning, went into his store on
lhe same Hoor just in time to see kero-
sene lamp IN the rear explode. He awoke
MS Wlie and both tried to put out the
naming lamp, but without success. and
then gave all their attention to getting
lhelf children out of the building. A DO
nceman who heard the cry of alarm
rushed to the scene and every effort was
made to rouse the sleeping persons in
the house
Meantime the flames had spread with
startling rapidity, and when the persons
who had been asleep on the upper floors
aWoke they found themselves confronted
by wall of flames on nearly every side
On some OF the fire escapes the rubbish
was packed 50 closely that it became
impossible to pass certain points, and
men, women and children stood literally
roasting to death as the flames roared
through windows around them. Many
women flung their children into the arms
OF men standing on the sidewalk
A frenzied crowd gathered in front of
the police station, weeping, wailing and
lamenting for the dead AS rapidly as
possible they were permitted to examine
the bodies in the court yard, where their
laments grew louder. Unable to recog-
nlze their missing relatives in the char
red, almost formless bodies they saw be-
fore them, many turned away. faint and
sick at the awful sight.

PRAYED FOR THEIR MAYOR.
An Extraordinary Spectacle in PhiIa-
delphia.

de1phia.
An extraordinary spectacle, such as
10 American municipality ever before
witnessed and which many think does
little credit to its participants, howso-
ever efficacious their prayers may be,
because it lays religion bare to ridicule,
was given in Philadelphia the other day.
when all the advocates of reform joined
in day of prayer for the city officials.
About 200 preachers met in Holy Trim
ity church and prayed that the ''shackles
of the gang be stricken from our sinful
Mayor" About 300 others held services
in their own churches. Prayer meetings
were held in homes and in one church
LOCO women prayed and tasted the en-
tire day. Thousands upon thousands OF
prayers were made between the hours OF
10 and 4. Before the meetings men pa
raded the streets with banners inscribed
Pray for the Mayor
Some prominent business men protest
cd against the gathering, asserting that
it was an absurdity. The prayer meet
ings were part of the anti-vice crusade
which is being waged in Philadelphia.
The Mayor who is a prominent church
man, has been appealed to to bring about
reforms and has been asked to remove
the head of the police department and
failed to do so.

The Assembly on Wednesday, after a
lively discussion, passed by vote Of 70
TO 16 joint resolution to amend the
constitution to allow the Legislature to
authorize an income tax. Mayor Roses
public auditorium and music hall bill was
1aVorably reported to the Senate by the
committee on corporations. This is the
elimination of an idea which has been
gaining force in Milwaukee for many
years for the erection of large edifice
which can be used for large public meet
lngs, conventions, etc. In the discussion
on freight rates before the legislative
joint committee E. p. Bacon stated that
the excess of Wisconsin grain rates from
all points from the Mississippi river to
Milwaukee over rates for similar dis
tances in Illinois to Chicago is 277 per
cent. Comparing the mileage and rates
on grains from points in southern Wis
consin to Milwaukee and Chicago. he
found that the average distance to Mil
waukee was 81 per cent of that to Chi
cago, and the rate was Sc per cent of
the Chicago rate. On live stock the rate
was 95 per cent of the Chicago rate,
while the distance was 81 per cent. Mr..
Bacon said also that the rates from Wis
consin points to Chicago are % per cent
higher than from Illinois points for SINH
lar distances. Mr.. Phillip, who was
present, sought to show that this is be-
cause Illinois is strongly influenced by
the Peoria road and heated debate fol
lowed.

Chief Clerk Eaton of the Senate on
Thursday submitted his report on the
condition of work before committees and
the Senator from the Thirty-firs made
a harangue on the slOWness of the Sen
ate in getting down to work By a
mathematical calculation he attempted
to prove that it would be November be-
fore the work of the Senate is finished
at the rate they are now going, and with
the Assembly bills added it would be
near the first of the year before they
can get back to their homes. Thus far
they had disposed of but one and one
half bills day and in the future they
must pass or kill thirteen bills day to
go through by May L. The Senate adj
yanced but four bills on its calendar.
including that authorizing the city of
Milwaukee to help build a public audito-
rum or music hall and the Roehr bill
providing that no justice of the peace in
Milwaukee county shall have jurisdiction
of any action brought against resident
of the city unless one Of the parties
plaintiff in such action is a resident of
the town in which the justice of the
neace lives. This measure will put an
end TO the plan followed by loan sharks.
Under special order the Assembly took
mn Asa. cutting down to exemptions of
wages that can be garnisheed from $50
TO $50 a month. Mr.. Perry said it was

Indefinitely postponed, but the motion
was defeated, 81 to 20.

Bill No. 16 A., authorizing cities to
fix an eight-hour day for municipal work,
was taken up in the Assembly Friday.
Mr. Coffiand opposed the measure as
class legislation. Mr.. Aldridge spoke
for the bill. 1t was not new idea: it
was local and optional with cities. The
eight-hour day was surely coming and
Wisconsin should be in line. Mr.. Brock
hansen called for the ayes and noes,
was not sustained by sufficient number
and there was no roll call. The bill was
Killed by an overwhelming vote. The
Portland exposition bill called for some
explanation. Chairman Kinney of the
State affairs committee explained that
the bill carried an appropriation of S1o.-
600 and that $4,000 was left from the
st. Louis fair fund, making total appro-
priation of 5000. Some thought since
the State spent only $4,000 for the Buff
falo exposition this was more than the
Portland fair should get, but the bill was
concurred in by vote of 80 to SO. A
number of bills of lesser Importance were
passed by each house.

MAY CONFESS TO FRAUD.
Trial OF TiIlamook ConspiratOrs Prom
ises a Sensation.

The Oregon Daily Journal of yes
terday says Of the land fraud cases:
Panic has seized many of the de-
PENDANTS in the land fraud cases,
since the conviction of Congressman
Williamson. Rumors are current that
several persons implicated in the
frauds are eager to escape punishment
by turning states evidence, especially
the minor offenders who might, with
reason. hope for leniency.
one Of the latest rumors Is that
when Claude Thayer, the Tillamook
banker is placed on trial several Of
the entrymen whom he Is alleged to
have hired to take up claims will take
the stand against him. The Tillamook
land frauds were among the most
glaring that have been perpetrated in
this state, and several of the entrymen
were indicted with Thayer.
Thayer is accused of having pro-
cured 100 persons to take up timber
claims, and by means of filing spurious
contests escaped paying anything on
the claims when they were filed in the
land office. Many of the entrymen
had never seen the land on which they
filed. Thayers contests relieved
him of the necessity of paying any
money to the government, and he held
the claims until he found a purchaser
when the contests we're withdrawn.
