Anoka, Mimi, April 2S.-Shortly be-
fore - o'clock yesterday eie Reed &
Sherwood lumber mill caught fire,
and, owing to a strong wind cinders
and burning shingles were carried
over an area of two blocks. For a
time it looked as though part of<the
town was doomed. as there were over
100 small blazes in the dry lumber
sheds, barns and adjacent residences.
The fire department at last secured
control OF the flames and saved all
dwelling houses, although the loss to
the mill and lumber will amount to
thousands of dollars.

NO PRECAUTION
AGAINST FIRE
Architect Tharp Makes His
Report to Grand Jury on
Conditions in Playhouses

The Grand Jury's desire for drastic
action in regard to the showhouses
that have failed to comply with the
f1re ordinance has abated, and instead
of insisting that they shall be closed
summarily, as was done at the begin
ming, the attention of the Board of
Public Works and the Police Commits
sion is to be respectfully called to the
violations of the law that these au-
thorities might take the proper steps
TO enforce obedience.
The inquisitorial body spent yester-
DAY afternoon in going over the report
by Architect Newton j. Tharp of his
inspection of the various theaters in
the city. Hardly one of them was
found to conform to the regulations or
to be up-to-date in the matter of pro-
lection from flames. The architect has
four or five more inspections to make.
ana when these reports shall have been
made the Grand Jury will send cop
les of them to the proprietors of the
amusement places and also to the
municipal boards with pointed sug-
gestions that the ordinance is on the
books to be obeyed.
A distinction arises between the the
aters that were built before and those
after the passage of the ordinance. AL
AASoN cAA u tAic SHOW places were
constructed before the stringent mea-
sure was made law by the Supervisors
as result of the awakening of the
horrors of theater fires after the Iro-
quois disaster in Chicago.
Architect Tharp picks out the Bel
vedere Music Hall for the following
general remarks:
With the exception of one or two
particulars, none of the provisions of
the ordinance have been complied with.
AS this building was altered to its
present plan and for its present pur-
pose since the passage of the ordi-
nance, nothing can be done but recon
struct ii entirely to make it comply
with the ordinance"
The Novelty, Unique, Mission-street
and the Baldwin theaters, which are
all of the 10-cent sort, were construct
ed after the ordinance was enacted
and Tharp points out that they must
be made to comply with it. They are
all mostly of wood construction ano
some of them are even without hose
reels or water barrels La Boherne Mu.
sic Hall, of which Supervisor Alpers is
one of the proprietors, needs only &
few improvements to meet approval
The architect explains that its owners
had given the matter of fire protection
much attention.
Reports were also made on the Co.
lumbia, Orpheum, Grand, California
Alcazar, Fischer's and the Oberon, al
of which were built before the ordi
nance was adopted. Fault is found
with each of them under the presen
law.

A lively passage alarms between
Ex-Governor Budd and Assistant Dis

with obtaining money by false pre-
lenses, were called for the defendants

would not be set for trial until Attor-
ney j. C. Campbell, special prosecutor,
should be present.
Ferral wanted the defendants to
plead. but Budd objected, saying that
1t had been stipulated between him and
Attorney Campbell that nothing would
be done till Campbell's return, and as
Campbell had entire charge of the case
for the prosecution, he thought that
the stipulation should be respected
1T is not So" retorted Ferral. The
District Attorney has charge of the
case, and Mr.. Campbell is simply as
sisting him.
That's very strange said Budd
How is it that all the witnesses for
the prosecution are taken to Camp
bells Office and that the banks are
supplying him with the funds to carry
on the prosecution"
How is it, replied Ferral, that the
defendants have now engaged an ex-
Governor of California to beat the
case?"
At this juncture District Attorney
Byington made his appearance and
Budd's rejoinder did not materialize.
1t was decided that the cases should
be continued till March 6.
Budd intimated that on behalf of the
defendants he would, at the proper
time, file a motion to set aside the in
dictment and challenge the Grand
Jury.

Police Boards Calendar Too
Crowded and Case of Chief,
Accused of Incolnpetency,

HIS ACQUITTAL NOW
BELIEVED PROBABLE
Commissioners Begin Hear
ing on Charges Against
Members of Ellis Squad for
Corruption in Chinatown

The trial of Chief of Police Whitman
on charges of incompetence and neg
lect of duty was postponed last evening
by the Police Commissioners to Mon
day night Press of business cases
that had precedence on the calendar,
occasioned the delay. The attorney for
the Chief pleaded for an early trial and
the board was agreeable to his wishes.
Are there any objections on your
part to a postponement of the trial of
Chief Wittman?' asked President Po-
helm, addressing Congressman Kahn,
Wittman's attorney.
I'VE are ready to proceed" respond
ed the lawyer land desire to begin the
trial at the earliest date possible. We
ask the fullest investigation of these
charges and of everything connected
with the official career of Chief Witt
man. But the Chief is under suspension.
and as we are ready we ask that there
be no delay. If you cannot go ahead
tonight we ask that the trial be held
tomorrow night, and If not then that
1t be set peremptorily for Monday
night
Monday night was satisfactory to all
the Commissioners.
I'VE understand, then" spoke up
Mann, lndt tne case Is set peremptO-
rily for that time

was Poheim's reply, but we'll do the
best we can"
The attorney then withdrew, accom-
panied by Chief Whitman, who had oc-
cupied seat near the entrance to the
Commissioners room.
CHANGE IN THE TIDE.
1t is reported that the Commission
ers have come to look more favorably
on Wittman's failure to suppress gam
bling in Chinatown. Their temper is
said to be abating from the high stage
it reached when the Grand Jury made
such caustic comments on the inability
of the department to stop the fantan
