In favor of Senator Proctor's bill to re.

Actively opposed to the bill are

Special to The Journal.
Ely, Mimi, March 14.-George
Byrnes, a porter, was burned to death
today in a fire which destroyed the
Vail hotel, the leading hostelry in this
place.
The fire started in the basement at
$50 am, probably from the heating
plant. The building was Of frame and
the flames spread with frightful IA
pidity. -
fortunately employees Of the hotel
had arisen to begin their days work,
and the guests were aroused at once.
Many on the third and fourth floors
could not get out by the regular exits,
and reached the ground on ladders
raised to the third and even the fourth
story windows. There were some mar
row escapes, but no one was in ured,
tho many lost their effects and had to
buy or borrow clothing for immediate
wear.
Byrnes was in the basement, and it
IS thought he became confused or neg
lected to attempt escape until it was
his'home was at Ontonagor, Mich. -
Many travelling men We're in the
building and great alarm was felt by
relatives and, friends at Duluth and
other points until all the guests had
been accounted for.
P. Vail, mayor of Ely, owned the
hotel, and John Glode was it's manager
The building had four stories and 10C
rooms. Other buildings stood near but
were saved by herculean efforts.
The loss and insurance have only
been roughly estimated. The loss viii
aggregate $4,000.
