LETS HIS LANDS GO
Lord de Freyne's Irish Tenants
Win Long Fight

LONDON, Feb. 2S.-Lord de Freyne,
whose Irish estates three years ago
were the scenes of notorious evictions,
has ended the long struggle with his
tenants by consenting TO sell his estates
to the congested districts board under
the land act. The tenants celebrated
the event last night with bonffres and
rejoicings.
In July, 1902. the sheriff and a body
of police visited the estates of Lord
de Freyne at Lough Lynn. Roscommon
county, and enforced writs of eviction
against a large number of tenants who
We're in arrears for rent. Subsequent
ly the matter was taken up by the
Irish members of the house of COM
mons, who described the evictions as
having been made under distressing
conditions. and shortly afterwards Lord
Freyne began an action for conspiracy
against John z. Redmond, John Dillon,
Michael Davitt and other members of
the United Irish league. The action
never came to a trial, the parties
agreeing to pay their own costs.

FLOOR FALLS And
ELEVEN ARE KILLED
Long Unsafe Church Building
Is Death Trap for Negro
Worshipers

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Eleven per-
sons were killed and upwards of fifty
injured, some probably fatally, by the
collapse of the flooring of the Fleet
Street Africap Methodist Episcopal
church in Brooklyn tonight. OF those
killed eight were women, two men and
one child. The building was an an
cient ramshackle frame structure, erect
ed sixty years ago in the heart of the
colored section of Brooklyn. Arrange
ments had been made today to hold fu-
neral services over Sidney L. Painter,
one OF the oldest members and organ
list of the church, and the auditorium,
which is on the second floor of the
building, was crowded with an audi
ence Of upwards of 300 persons, of
whom the majority We're women.
The congregation was waiting in si-
lence for the arrival of the body, when
splintering of timbers was heard
and in an instant half of the auditorium
nearest the door collapsed, carrying
down more than a hundred persons,
who were crushed in the wreckage Of
the flooring and pews. The remainder
of the audience, finding themselves cut
off from the door. and expecting every
iHStdnl lHdl the rest OF the nOOr1ng
would collapse under them, fought
madly to reach the windows, and in
some instances leaped from them and
sustained serious injuries. Those re-
naming uninjured on the portion Of
the floor remaining intact were taken
from the windows by ladders. Those
lying in the mass l2.wreckage on the
lower floor could be got-.at only after
the firemen had hewed their way to
them with axes. Out of the wreck ten
bodies were recovered and about thirty
OF the injured removed to the Brook
lyn hospital. where three women died.
About $50 seats In the front of the
church had been reserved for the
mourners, who were to accompany the
body. This led to the massing OF the
congregation in one place and a conse-
quent concentration of weight on the
rotten floor beams. Death in nearly
every case resulted from suffocation.
caused by the victims being piled on
top of one another in a mass several
feet deep. The church was condemned
as unsafe several years ago.

NOT YET FOR TACOMA
Capital Removal Enterprise Is
Delayed

OLYMPIA. Wash. Feb. 27.-Gov.
Mead has vetoed the bill providing for
submission TO the people of a pro-
vision TO remove the state capital from
Olympia to Tacoma. His principal
reason is that the bin is in the nature
of a constitutional amendment and as
such should have two-thirds vote OF
the legislature. In his message Gov.
Mead fiays the lobbyists. The senate
by vote of 19 to 10 refused TO pass
the bill over the veto. Later a con-
current resolution providing that the
question of capital removal be sub
mitted to the people at the next gem
eral election was passed TO Its second
reading. Should ii be adopted it cans
not be vetoed by the governor.

Returns
RECENT FIRES NOT BLAMED

Chief Engineer John Jackson, of the
fire department, rendered his resigna-
tion yesterday and a special meeting
of the fire board at once accepted IL to
take effect at noon, March 10.
The resignation was the only matter
of business considered at the meeting,
and according to the members of the
board who were seen with regard to it,
IT was brief and without material dis
cussion.
The communication from Chief Jack
son was very short and casts no light
whatever on the reasons underlying the
fact.
Several of the commissioners were
seen after the meeting, which was held
in the offices of President Reuben War
ner Jr.. but their statements were all
more or less constrained.
A. J. Schweizer, who was known as
a friend of Chief Jackson at the time of
his appointment to the board by Mayor
Smith, denied with definiteness the re-
port that gained circulation to the eff
feet that Chief Jackson's resignation
was forced or account of the admins
tration of the fire department at the
Bannon fire, which has been so sharply
criticised.
Why Jackson Leaves
mo- said Mr.. Schweizer, "the res
ignation. of Chief Jackson was not
forced. In fact II came as a surprise
to the members OF the board. The
Bannon fire was not the reason of II, as
the investigation of that affair has not
yet arrived at the point where a report
is ready for submission.
Jackson has been under fire by a
powerful faction, and while I know
nothing of what pressure has been
brought to bear upon him, suppose
the resignation might be laid to the ef-
forts OF that party"
Reuben Warner Jr., president of the
board. also denied that the Bannon fire
tion of Jackson:
And furthermore" said he, "the fire
in the GilfiHan block last summer was
not the reason. In addition, / can say
that the faulty condition OF the two
engines that was reported in the press
several weeks on the occasion of the
inspection of the apparatus of the de-
partment, where it was found that two
of the steamers could not get up
enough steam to throw water across the
street, was not the underlying fact that
resulted in the chiefs determination to
throw up his job
Neither of the members of the board
would cast any light on what the rea-
sons really were that caused the res
ignation.

Lady Jane is a dear, good soul, but
she is accustomed to be unwise in her
management of Sigma. She allowed
her new approval of Noel to be read in
the growing maternity of her manner.
Hitherto she had been cousinly in her
treatment of him-she was not his
aunt or that might have been her atti-
tude-and when things looked very
black in the matrimonial market she
comforted herself aloud with his ad-
vantages. Sigma hated the obvious.
Her temper had been decidedly uncer-
tain since Captain Verney had come
into what she henceforth STYLED his
"Bayswater income" and she sailed
forth this very afternoon in a mood
that was ripe for mischief.
She found it at Lady Bloomfield's
afternoon crush where the Bohemian
element was mingling with the severe
ly social, and everybody was discuss

Bacchante Theatre of Varieties in aid

There was fat man in a long frock-
coat standing in the centre of the
group of the smartest women present
when Sigma arrived. He was Bats
burg, the proprietor of the Bacchante
and the originator of the benefit, but
sigma hardly glanced at him. There
was no doubt that she was in very
bad mood indeed, and her eyes, roam
ing about for some evil deed to prove
this, did not alight upon Batsburg, as
the special means arranged by the
Powers of Darkness to help her. 1t
was not with any thought of the fat
man and his glossy curls in her mind
that she sat down at the piano
and volunteered a song. There had
been music going on all of that after
noon; but Signals performance was
entirely different, and everyone listen

Lady Jane glanced rather uneasily
