Mobile, Ala, Feb. 14.-Losses al

caused by a fire that left the famous
Battle house a ruin and swept on 10
buildings adjoining.
The fire broke out In some unoccu-
pied rooms over the kitchen Of the
Battle house, which, although an old
hosiery, was one of the largest in the
south. The flames spread so quickly
that a number Of guests lost all their
belongings and not a few of those on
the fifth floor were compelled to take
to the fire escapes in their night
clothes. Two elevator boys stuck to
their posts until all the guests had
been gotten out. although the elevators
caught fire and the youngsters were
burned about the face and hands.
An hour after the fire started all
the electric lights in the business por-
ton of the city went out, due partly to
the turning off of the power to save
the firemen from danger and partly
to save one of the main feed wires be

WARM WORDS PASSED.
Representatives Hearst and Sullivan
Critic Each Other.

Washington, Ferb 15.-Not in re-
cent years has the house witnessed such
spectacle as it did Monday, with Mr..
Sullivna of Massachusetts, and Will
liam r. Hsasrt of New York as the
central figures. Both indulged in per-
sonalities of the gravest character and
stirred the house so as to arouse among
certain members feeling of the great
est indignation. Mr.. Sullivan heaped
upon Mr.. Hearst a TRADE of denuncia-
ton, while the latter by implication
charged Mr.. Sullivan with completely
ian murder. The affair grew out of
the recent discussion of the freight rate
question in the house, when Mr.. Sulli-
van inquired of Mr.. Lamar of Florida,
who was favoring the Hearst bill, why
Mr.. Hearst did not defend his own bill,
this being followed by criticism of
Mr.. Sullivan in the New York Ameri-
can.
Seveal appeals were made to speaker
Cannon to cause the two men to desist
in their abuse of each other. Speaker
Cannon, however, allowed them to pro-
coed. Mr.. Sullivan concluded, but
in the case Of Mr.. Hearst, the speaker,
ON reconsideration, noticing the temper
of the house, decided that an accusa-
ton of homicide against a fellow men,
Der was supplementary, because it
was calculated TO provoke disorder and
disturbance. Almost Immediately
thereafter Mr.. Hearst took his seat,
hurting defiance and declaring that it
would be his pride to continue his hos
tility to individuals:such as he charged
Mr.. Sullivan to be.
