But I can say that every ef- forth within the power of the govern ment will be made to hunt such man out of the public service and to punish him to the fullest extent of the law"

 Aided by others, he made heroic fight against the fires advance, and at the same time saved the portraits of his predecessors in office from damage by smoke and water
 Mrs. Folk and five ladies, members or the Morning Choral, who were her guests, were driven from the mansion by the fire and sought refuge in the Madison hotel.
 An hour passed before the volunteer firemen arrived, but they soon put out the blaze. The chiefs excuse for the delay was that the governors message was not definite. The damage is es- timated at from $S,000 to $12,000. The library was entirely destroyed, also the entrance hall furniture The car pet alone cost $1,OOO.
 The fire was caused by a defective hue, and is thought to have smoldered for day or so, or since fire was kin kled in the grate in the library.
 The governor is living at the Madi- son hotel, and it is likely that the man. sion will be closed entirely until re- pairs are made.

regard as unsafe the rate Of speed which
must be maintained by the eighteen
hour Twentieth Century Limited, and
he does not believe that last night 8
accident was due, in any sense, to that
cause. He said today, however, that
the future Of the new train would rest
entirely upon the investigation Of the
disaster which is now in progress.
eff we find the eghteen-hour train!
unsafe,o said he, 1--WE will take it off
in ten seconds, We DO not think that
speed unsafe now. If I or any OF the
officials Of the road had thought the
train unsafe it never would have been
put on. I believe, however, with all
railroad men that all trains go a little
too fast. I felt from the beginning that
a slower train would be more comfort,
able for the passengers. They appeared
to notice no difference in the speed be.
tween the twenty hour and eighteen
hour trains, however, and seemed to be
very well satisfied. Any change now
