torn away by the force of the crash
Then flames filled the whole building
Grave fears of an immediate and
more severe explosion did not prevent
an employee from turning in an alarm
calling the fire department, which
fought until $50 o'clock before the
flames could be put out. The eXplos-
ion took place at 8:45 o'clock. AS a
result of the accident, which is now
being looked into more closely to as
certain the exact cause, the streets

Oyster Bay, July 28.-President
Roosevelt entertained at luncheon yes
terday Baron Jurato Komura, minis
ter of foreign affairs, and Kogoro
Takahira, minister to the United
States, the Japanese ENJOYS to the
Washington peace conference. sub
sequently he had long interview with
them, at which all the phases OF the
approaching negotiations were consid-
cred. Neither the president nor his
Japanese visitors cared to discuss Tor
publication the nature of their confer
ence, except in the most general terms.
Baron Komura bowed gravely to the
newspaper men who made themselves
known at the station, but smilingly de-
clined to talk Takahira shook hands
with one or two of his newspaper
friends, but said there was nothing OF
Importance he could say at that time.
The ENJOYS were driven directly to
Sycamore Hill and remained with the
president until $3.50 o'clock and then
were driven to the station Takahira,
speaking for both Komura and him
self, said they had a delightful and
satisfactory visit and talk with the
president Komura, he said, had de-
sired to pay his respects to President
Roosevelt and on behalf Of the en-
peror to thank him for mis- efforts to
bring about peace in the far east. In
response to inquiries, Takahira said II

President Roosevelt was interrogat-
ed last evening about the conference,
but replied that it was a subject he
did not feel at liberty to discuss for
publication. 1t is expected that soon
after the arrival of M. Witte, the pr1n-
cipal envoy of Russia, he, too, will
make a formal call on President
Roosevelt in advance of presentation
to the president August 5, of the two
sets of plenipotentiaries and tnei1
suites. The president does not con

Had One! Renrieve.

Springfield, ILL.,, July 28.-Regariing
the case against Johann Hoch, who is
to be hanged today, it was ascertained
at the governors Office yesterday on
reliable authority that the reasons
which induced Governor Deneen to re
frain from interfering were the fol
Lowing:
That Hoch was first sentenced to be
hanged on June Fl; that through his
counsel ne requested reprieve in or,
der to be able to put his case to the
supreme court at the June term. the
court being then in session. The re-
prieve was requested to the end OF the
term The court was expected to ad'
journ in about week and Governor
Deneen granted the reprieve of five
and one-nalf weeks in order to give
him plenty of time to have his case
presented to the supreme court. Un-
der the law a defendant may present
his case to any one Of the justices OF
the supreme court during vacation,
and the justice has power to award
supercedeas in tle event he deems
the case worthy of consideration by
the supreme court. 1t is learned that
the case has not been presented to any
Justice and that neither Hoch's attOr-
ney nor any of his friends has present
ed to the governor any errors in fact
or law, except by telephone connection
over the long distance telephone.
Fair Trial Comedies.
1t has been represented to the gov.
ernor by the states attorneys Office OF
Cook county that the case has been
tried with the utmost care for the
rights of lie defendant and that the
only point raised by the defendant
was as to e right of a woman whom
Hoch had married. to testify against
her husband in a criminal case. On
That point, it appears that the state
proved that before Hoch had married
the women in question he had been
married to another woman. who is
still living and from whom he never
mad been divorced
The supreme court has decided
against the contention raised by cOun-
sci for hoch. 1t is regretted that
HOcn's friends did not have an OppOr-
tunity to present his case to the SUI
preme court, but it was felt by the gov
ernor that he had granted an ample
extra session of time. that the crime
was an atrocious one and that the
trial had been fairly conducted, no
complaint having been lodged with
him regarding its conduct.
Under all the circumstances the gov
ernor felt that ne could not do other
wise than as he has done without max
ing precedent which would produce
harmful results hereafter, and so he
felt constrained to let the law take it's
course.
Late last night Hoch consented to
an interview and throughout the con-
versation stoutly insisted that he was
an innocent man, that his conviction
was an injustice, and declared That ii
he had money he might have had
fair deal. He refused to reveal his
identity, saying he would take that
secret to the grave.
