A $4,000 FIRE.
Boston Blaze at Noon Yesterday Believed
to Have Been Ineendiary.

to Have Been Incendiary
Boston, March 1.-Two large lumber
sheds and part of third one at the
extensive hardwood lumber plant Of
Blacker & Shepard on Albany street,
were burned just before noon today and
a loss estimated at $4,000 was sus-
tanned. The blaze, which started be-
tween two piles Of lumber, spread 50
rapidly in spite Of efforts made by
workmen to put it out, that three
alarms were given in quick succession.
With the large amount of apparatus
thus summoned the iremen were able
to get control in about half an hour.
The flames continued TO burn fiercely
for some time, but the damage was
confined mainly to the lumber stored
in the sheds. The building occupied by
The mechanical department and the Of
fees escaped injury.
The fire was first seen by Howard @.
Morse, secretary Of the Blacker s.
Shepard company. 1t was SO small that
he thought he could put it ont quickly
but failing and seeing that efforts Of
tie yard force could not succeed the
city department was summoned. From
the location of the fire when Mr.. Morse
saw Ii, IL is believed that an incendia-
~ had been 1T work and James b. Dunn,
state fire marshal, who reached the
yard before the fire was under control,
at once began an investigation. The
loss is covered by insurance.

SAYS HE Is A MURDERER.
Adoplh Bloch Says His Brother Who
Was Hanged Is Innocent.

Washington, Pa, March 9My God,
that's my brother; he never killed that
woman. am the murderer should
have ben hanged instead Of Eugene,
cried Adolph J. Bloch yesterday in a
frenzy of remorse, interrupting com
panion at the steel mill in Canonsburg,
who was reading to him an account OF
the hanging of Eugene Bloch at Allen
town on Tuesday. He is in the Wash
ington county jail today, awaiting a
hearing on the charge Of murder to
which he has confessed and for which
his innocent brother has been executed.
He is a German jew, 26 years Of age,
and formerly lived in Philadelphia. His
brother was hanged for the alleged muir
der Of Mrs. Kate Falzinger, on August
6, 1908. Late last night Bloch recoy-
cred his nerve to some degree and de-
clared to the jail officials that the whole
story was a joke. Later, however, he
repudiated this and reiterated his guilt.

grand jury at Savannah for conspiracy
to defraud the government of $575, 949.90.
Shortly afterward the accused men
surrendered themselves to United States
Marshal Shields at New York. Then
began the long and fiercely contested
struggle against extradition to Savan-
nah. Both Gaynor and Greene appear
ed in that city, and each gave a bond of
$40 900. They were met step by step
by the laws stubborn insistence-
When they saw that their case was
hopeless Gaynor and Greene forfeited
their bail and fed. The bondsmen
were afterward reimbursed by the fu-
gitives.
The indicted men made no especial
effort to conceal their movements, and
it soon became known to the public
that they had gone to Canada. They
went first to Montreal. Finding that
the extradition commissioner was res
ident of that city. they proceeded to
Quebec. They settled themselves com
fortably at the most luxurious hotel IN
that ancient city and at once secured
the services of some of the ablest law
yers in the Dominion. The United
States authorities Immediately de-
manded their extradition. Commits
sioner Lafontaine at Montreal issued a
warrant for the arrest of both men.
At this point the situation became
dramatic. On May 5, 1902, party Of
detectives armed with the warrant
went to Quebec, seized the unsuspect-
ing criminals, thrust them into cab
and drove rapidly to the river. Ar
rived there, the men were put aboard
the tug Spray, the speediest vessel on
the St. Lawrence river, and started at
full steam for Montreal. Before he left
the cab Gaynor had managed to yell

unsparingly. The congress was so lit

that it resorted habitually to the ex-

the veto. The quarrel strengthened
amazingly and resulted in the two
fruitless Impeachment efforts.

presidential career All the measures

himself of the veto privilege with re-

act was to veto bill for refunding the

Grover Cleveland exercised the veto
power beyond all precedent. Out Of
