There is small question but Council

for Mr.. Holiday was really formally
announced this last spring at a dinner

GRAFT IN ROOSEVELT HOME.
Much of the Money Subscribed Has
Not Been Accounted For.

New York, Dec. 25.-In the reorgani-
cation of the Roosevelt Home club it
has developed that scores of cash sub
scriptions toward the purchase of the
presidents birthplace at % East Twen-
tfeth street, and its preservation against
the entertainments of commercialism,
never have been accounted for. It also
has been found that strenuous effort
was made to realize 5000 on Henry c.

ago cOntingnt upon the club acquiring
the property The extent of the alleged
embezzlement is unknown, but will reach
into thousands.

The flames spread with great ra-

time the first alarm was turned in the
whole building was ablaze. All of the
guests were able to escape by wav of
the stairways and elevators, although
the halls and corridors were denseIv

VAN NUYS BURNS.
Los Angeles Loses One of Her Biggest
Hotels by Fire.

Los Angeles, Dec. 25.-In the larg-
est hotel fire in the history OF Los
Angeles, the Van Nuys Broadway
hotel, one of the first-class hostelries
in the city, located at 412-422 South
Broadway, in the heart of the business
district, has been almost completely
destroyed. One hundred and ten
guests most of whom were still IN bed
at the time the fire broke out, escaped
in their scant clothing to the street
MANY of these got out in their night
robes, and practically all suffered loss
of their entire baggage and personal
effects. Five firemen were injured
during the progress of the flames by
the collapse of the rear of the second
floor They were precipitated into the
basement and all suffered more or less
serious injuries and J. Lawson. OF
Hase county, New York, was killed.
Fire Chief Lips was also severely cut
bv broken glass, but had his injuries
dressed without leaving the scene of
the fire. The total financial loss will
approximate 100000. The Martz
estate and August Winstel, owners of
the hotel building, will lose 500, 900;
insurance, $4,000.
A very few of the guests were able
to get out any of their effects. T. H.
Benton, ex-state auditor of Nebraska,
wife and daughter, occupied rooms on
the fourth floor and barely escaped
with their lives, losing all their val
uabIes, baggage and money, estimated
at IS, 900.
MRS. P. Hanisch, of Chicago. escaped
from her room on the fourth floor, but
lost effects valued at $4,000. Several
individuals lost amounts ranging from
SIS to $4,000 The origin Of the fire
has not been definitely ascertained. It
was discovered by Night Clerk Harry
Mertz at 6:55 o'clock a m The flames
appeared to come from the Dasemen
