WOMAN PRONOUNCED
DEAD; BUT STILL LIVES

st. Louis, March 15.-After being
pronounced dead by two physicians
and nurse, Mrs. Charles A. Sweet
was revived by the infusion of a salt
solution into the veins, and she is now
believed to be recovering her health.
Five weeks ago Mrs. Sweet, suffering
from gastricitis, went to Arkansas in
the hope of recovering. On the
night of February 13 she seemed to be
dying, and eventually her heart ap-
peared to cease beating and respira-
ton became unbelievable. She was
pronounced dead. A third physician
decided to try salt solution infusion,
and there followed signs of anima-
ton. The operation was continued
and Mrs. Sweet was revived. She
has returned to her home in ST. Louis
and is improving in health. ~

NEGRO BECOMES COLLECTOR At NEW YORK

him the respect and even friendship
of senators who represented the south
ern states. Mr.. Anderson knows ex-
|actly where to stop, not presuming
any more upon his acquaintance and
friendship with men of color other
than his own than did Senator Bruce.
Yet he has been able to maintain in
it's best sense the color line without
any humiliation to himself or any ap-
prehension on the part of his white
friends.
Mr.. Anderson has been an active
republican politician in New York for
many years. He has gained the re-
spect and has often had the conf
dence of republican leaders because
he is both shrewd and just. He knows
how to be fair without being weak,
and how to be firm without being ar
bitrary. Successful in his own bust
ness, so that he is looked upon as one
OF the wealthiest colored men of New
York, he is independent of politics, SO
far as a livelihood is concerned.
President Roosevelt has long known
him. When a candidate for COVER
nor, Roosevelt received some aid in
the way of organization of the col
ored voters of New York city which
was substantial. Moreover, the
president never knew Mr.. Anderson
to do anything in politics which was
reprehensible.
In all probability the president was
persuaded, not by any other than him
self, that the nomination of Mr.. An
derson for collector of this internal
revenue district will be of some ad :.
vantage in proving to the people of
the south that he does not d1scrimin-
ate in his appointments for or against
any section or for or against any col
or.

port upon the present building from
all three architects in the competi
ton after the fire and we have those
reports now for guidance in repairs
or alterations to the present building
should the legislature decide upon
either Of these policies.
I'VE feel, too, that we have saved
the state a handsome sum of money
by going ahead and preparing the
present capitol for temporary use aft
er the fire instead of compelling the
governor to call the legislature in spe-
cial session at an expense of at least
$4,000, notwithstanding that its
members would not have been entitled
to any pay for thei- attendance. There
was no place for the legislature to
meet Or the state officers to conduct
business. Something had to be done
and done at once.
so far as the warrants for the pay
ment of the awards to the competing
architects are concerned two con-
structions of the law were possible
and in administering it we simply ex-
ercised our judgment as to the con-
struction which should be placed up
on it. There is no question about
the moral liability of the state, while
we are equally confident that our ac-
ton was legal. Indeed, under the
terms of the law. We could have gone
ahead and expended the $4,000 which
was raised by taxation in 1903 and
the further sum of $4,000 raised last
year, and placed in the treasury sub
ject to our order in accordance with
the law, as we'll as the $4,000 pro
vided for plans, but, instead OF that
we did not even eXpend tie whole OF
the $4,000, saving some $4,000 of it
by preparing our own program and
doing other parts of the work our.
selves, thus saving the state expense.
There is now in the treasury about
100000 of the $4,000 appropriated

Fireman Hannigan repeated Bon
ner's feat on the third floor, rescuing
Miss Fannie Ginsberg.
A woman, her night dress blazing,
was seen to crawl out of window and
start down the fire escape from the
top floor. The hot iron blistered her
feet and burned deep into her flesh,
but she continued on. The scaling lad
ders were run up close to the escape
and fireman had almost reached her
when belch of flame, covered her like
wave and bore her down. She fell
back and died in sight of the horror
stricken crowd.

FAMINE IN IRELAND.
Redmond Urges Parliament to Take
Immediate Steps.

Immediate Steps.
London, March 15.-In the house OF
commons yesterday John Redmond,
in supporting Mr.. Hayden's motion
charging the government with failure
to anticipate the distress in the west
of Ireland, urged the government to
take immediate steps to avert the i'm
pending famine. Unless remedy be
found, he said, there would be no peace
and there ought not to be peace The
land act of 1903, Mr.. Redmond assert
ed, had utterly failed to settle the
problem and the tide of emigration
would not cease until the grazing lands
of the west had been restored to the
people. The existing conditions OF
things, he further said, were Infamous
and cruel, and had made English rule
in Ireland abhorrent to humanity. Mr..
Hayden's motion was rejected by ma
jority Of 48.

DIED NATURAL DEATH.
Likely to Be Conclusion in the Case of
Mrs. Stanford


Honolulu, March 15.-That Mrs.
Jane L. Stanford died natural death
wiz probably be the conclusion of
those who are now investigating the
case. President David Starr Jordan
of Stanford university has expressed
the opinion that Mrs. Stanford's death
was not due to strychnine poisoning.
He is doctor of medicine and says
that since he has learned that the
amount of strychnine taken by Mrs.
Stanford was not beyond the medicin-
al dose, he felt sure that she was not
poisoned. DR.. Jordan has been as
sisting the detectives to the extent of
suggesting questions as a physician
during their inquiries regarding her
symptoms and the results of the
autopsy.

RURAL RHAPSODY.

Miss Myrtle Rodman, teacher of the
Ireland Grove school mar Holder,
started to drive to her school yeSter-
day morning as usual. Just after
leaving her home her horse slipped on
the ice and fell. The fall was such
that the animal died almost instantly
The horse was 26 years old and had
been in the Rodman family for many
years. 1t was pet and for that rea-
son it's loss is regretted.
Miss Rodman showed her resource
flrlness at this rather embarrassing
juncture by calling for assistance
from nearby farmers, to whom She
left the care of the outfit, and, taking
up her lunch basket, trudged on to
school, The correspondent who sent
in the account of the accident re-
quested the editor to add a few lines
of "horse rhyme to give proper
literary touch TO the story. There rs
nothing like being accommodating, so
here goes:
The horse stood on the slippery ice,
Whence all but him had fled;
The ice was so darn slippery
The old horse fell down dead.

Washington, March 15.-The SEN
ate has confirmed the nomination of
Charles w. Anderson, colored, to be
collector of internal revenues for the
second district of New York. This

In the light tint of his skin, in his
physique and in an attractive manner

JAPANESE NOT QUICK
TO FOLLOW ADVANTAGE

Tie Pass, March 15.-As after the
battle of Liaoyang, the advance Of the
Japanese army against the new posi-
lions of the Russians at Tie pass is
slow The leading columns are eight
or ten miles southwark and in touch
with the Russian van posts, but the
operations at present are not serious.
Field Marshal Oyama shows slight
intentions of pressing his advantage
III an immediate attack on Tie pass. It
is possible, however, that wide turn
ing movement, of which reports are
current, is in progress. In such opera
tions the Japanese have the immense
advantage of several bases and lines
of supplies, to which Is now added the
Sinmintin road, while the Russian
army necessarily is dependent on one
base and one line of communication
and therefore may easily be out
f1anked.
Order Being Restored.
In the grand army" order is max
ing out of chaos with remarkable &C.
lerity. The plain in front of Tie pass,
which on March II seethed like a bed
of ants with a dense and confused
mass of transports, artillery and
troops, corps, divisions and regiments
being scattered and parties inextrica-
bly, mingled, has been cleared The
regiments are being reOrganized, the
stragglers sent to their respective COM
mands, organizations taken there as
signed positions and the same soldiers
who on March 10 became terror
stricken, surging, disorganized mass of
gray at a few shots from little de-
tachment of Japanese, or who even
fed in panic, firing Unfortunately
in all directions as they ran at a mere
baseless cry of Japanese cavalry, .
are now gathered singing about the
camp fires with new courage, ready to
oppose with stubborn resistance the
attack On Tie pass.
Not All in Panic.

of this panic. General Linevitch en-
tered Tie pass with his regiments in

ConfIagration
Lax inspectors Must
Tell the Coroner
at Inquest

New York, March 15.-Nineteen per
sons were burned to death in a fire
which destroyed five-story tenement
house at 105 Allen street yesterday.
More than 40 were injured, and only a
few of the sleeping inmates escaped IN
hurt. Several of those who persisted
were roasted to death in the view OF
thousands in the streets.
Coroner Goldenkranz declared after
investigation that he had reason to be-

fire marshal, tenement house and build

officials to appear before him at the In

The fire started in the basement ana
spread with frightful rapidity to the

Veritable Fire Trap.

The horror revealed the fact that the
building was a veritable fire trap.
Every fire escape platform on the build
ing had blind in it. This is a
square piece of board which fits into
the opening through which the ladder
passes in the grated floor of the plat
form. Negligence of city officials is
blamed for this failure to see that the
fire escapes were kept free from i'm
pediments.
Bedding and boxes filled the fire es-
capes, and when the men, women ano
children crowded onto the iron plat
forms there was hardly standing room,
and the blinds could not be removed
The platform merely served as a tenn
porary relief from the blazing inferno
within, but offered no means of exit to
the street.

Crowd Weeps for Dead.

A frenzied crowd gathered in front
Of the police station, weeping, wailing
and lamenting for the dead. AS rapid
ly as possible they were permitted TO
examine the bodies in the courtyard,
where their laments grew louder. I'm
able to recognize their missing rela'
tives in the charred, almost formless
bodies they saw before them, many
turned away, faint and sick at the aw.
full sight.
Besides the dead there were many in
jured, some so seriously that their
names will be added before long to the
list of dead, according to the surgeons
who attended them. Some Of these
were hurt in daring leaps for life.
Many Thrilling Rescues.
Thrilling rescues and the heroism Of
firemen, police and even children
marked the terrible disaster.
Frenzy and chaos followed the dis
covery of the fire. So great was the
alarm and hysteria that for twenty
minutes no summons was sent to the
firemen. When they arrived they
found the panic-stricken people cling
ing to window stills and fighting one
another for preservation on the frai
fire escapes, the passages of which
were clogged with boxes, bedding an,
other household effects. To the fail
ure of the city to see that the fire es
cape platforms were unlmpeded i
charged part of the responsibility TO
the loss of life.
The dead were found on the TOT
floors, where the smoke had stifie(
many in their beds and paved the wa1
Tor the flames. Some of those who
died fought until forced to succumb
The firemen made futile efforts tt
reach them.
Climbs Hot Iron Fire Escapes.
The fire horror was marked by many
acts of heroism. Lieutenant Bonner
son of the former fire chief, ascendeC
the hot fire escapes five times. Foul
times he came down with a woman Of
a child in his arms. The fifth time be
was making for the street with an I'm
conscious woman when his strength
gave way. He staggered and would
have fallen to death had not a comrade
come to his assistance.
AS Bonner reached a fourth-story
window on one Of his ascents and
dragged little girl from window
where she stood surrounded by flames
she pleaded with him to leave her on
the escape and go in after her little
brother, whom she had carried to the
window. He had fallen unconscious
and was roasting, she said. Bonner
jumped through the window and II
seemed to those below as if he was
going into furnace. He found the
