LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE Standard 8
Moscow correspondent reports that as
founding demonstrations occurred Sat-
urday night at the annual ball of the
engineering institutes, held in the hall
where the assembly of mobiles sits.
After the customary concert, instead
of dancing, the whole gathering
drowned the orchestra by singing the
"Marseillaise." Then the students arose
in quick succession and made revolu-
tionary speeches, which We're enthusi-
astically applauded. Proclamations
were distributed broadcast, and there
were cries Of stop the war!" and
Down with the autocracy"
The scenes continued unchecked and
increased in intensity for two hours.
The police formed Gordon around the
hall, but were powerless to interfere,
as the mobiles assembly hall possesses
an ancient privilege against arrest.
The proclamations, which were ad-
mirably presented, declared that the
war of the working classes is not
against Japan, but against Russia S
worst foe, namely, the emperor's gov-
ernment.

CHICAGO, Feb. 14-At 2:3O o'clock
this morning fire broke out on the
fourth floor of the Brevoort house, sit
uated on Madison street, between Clark
and LaSalle streets.
AS the firemen with their hose ran
through the halls the guests came pour
ing out of their rooms and the halls
were filled with excited guests hasten
ing to the office and the street.
The employees of the hotel behaved
in the most admirable fashion and lent
every assistance to the people as they
came running down the stairs and into
the elevators.
Some few women ran into Madison
street in scanty clothing and, believing
that the fire would amount to nothing,
returned to the hotel to finish dressing.
The rapid increase in the number of
engines called to the scene alarmed
them once more, however, and they
fled to the streets again.
The fire was quickly brought under
apparent control, and a number of
guests were Informed that they could

other quarters.
The wisdom of their action was soon
manifested, for at 3 o'clock the fire,
which the firemen had practically ex-
tinguished, broke out anew and the
&.
dows of the fifth and sixth stories.
1t was at once plain that the upper
part of the hotel was doomed and that
the fire department would be COM
PEELED to make a desperate fight to
save the lower part from destruction.
The firemen were hampered in their
work by the number of frozen fire
plugs which they found. and the flames
were at first fought only with chem
icals.
In the hotel when the fire broke out
were $50 guests and about thirty wo-
men employees of the hotel, the latter
living on the top floor. These women
were the last to escape, and they were
compelled to grope their way through
Railways filled with smoke and down
the stairways.
At O'clock the fire had reached the
roof of the Brevoort house and build
ings in the immediate vicinity were
threatened. Special calls for assist
anoe were sounded, and the firemen
were working to prevent the spread of
the flames. 1t was thought the en-
tire hotel structure will be destroyed.
The fremen were sent to the roof
of the LaSalle theater and tons of
water We're poured ON the burning
structure.
Shortly after the first detachment OF
firemen reached the roof Of the the
ater the smokestack on the roof OF
the Brevoort house collapsed and many
firemen narrowly escaped injury.
Ice covered the walls of the building
and the long leads of hose carried by
the fremen became embedded in the
ice. Because of the cold the fremen
worked in relays.

DESPoTIC PLAN FOR CRUSHING
STATEHOOD BILL
IRoNCLAD ORDERS ISSUED
Republican Members Pledged to Send
Measure to Conference Are In
structed to Accept No Sem
atorial Amendments
IRoNCLAD ORDERS ISSUED

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. ia
Gear" Reed in his most autocratic
days never resorted to such extraordi-
nary measures for binding members to
do his will as the scheme Speaker Cam
non initiated today for the purpose Of
controlling the statehood bill. He set
in circulation a paper pledging mem
bers to vote to send the bill to confer
ence, with ironclad instructions to the
house conferees not to accept any Of
the senate amendments.
This extraordinary expedient was de-
vised TO make sure that the thirty
three Republicans who refused TO vote
for the peculiar resolution adopted at
the conference of Friday would not
upset the program when the statehood
bill was brought into the house from
the committee on territories.
The thirty-three Republicans, by
combining with the Democrats, have
1t in their power to secure the final
adoption of the bill as it stands by
voting to agree to the senate amend
ments. The speaker seeks to head off
such a combination by securing writ
ten pledges in advance that they will
vote for the program agreed on by the
majority of the conference.
Twenty Republicans Sign
The paper was set in circulation late
this afternoon and before the house
adjourned twenty of the thirty three
recalcitrant Republicans had put their
names on it. When five more sigma
lures are secured the speaker will feel
warranted in bringing the bill out of
the committee on territories, with the
assurance that it will be sent to con-
ference with instructions, thus carry
ing out his program.
Compromise Suggested
Strong indications that the speaker
would have his way today gave rise to
seems to promise results. The terms
of the proposed compromise include
acceptance by the house of the Foraker
amendment, while the senate accepts
the union of New Mexico and Arizona.
The Kearns amendment annexing that
part of Arizona north of the Colorado
river to Utah will be eliminated, and
the term of prohibition in Oklahoma
and Indian Territory will be reduced
from twenty-one to ten years.
The territorial contingents that are
lobbying for statehood are now at work
with Senator Beyeridge and Speaker
Cannon. trying to get the bill through
as above indicated, or in some similar
shape, and the chances of success seem
to be good.

OWEN KELLEY IS
UNDER ARREST.
FUGITIVE FROM PHILADELPHIA
ADMITS SHORTAGE
Chief Hamme and Captain Bradish
Discover the Suspect on Spring
Street-WiIling to Face
Accusers

Owen Kelley, a wholesale grocer
and capitalist of Philadelphia who is
wanted by the police OF that city and
who has been fugitive from justice
since October %, 1904, was arrested on
South Spring street, near Fifth, last
night by Chief of Police Hammel and
Captain of Detectives Bradish.
o. Chief Hammel said last night
"We had been requested to find this
man Kelley by the Philadelphia police,
and they teegraphed us a complete
description of him. Capt. Bradish and
were walking down Spring street
and we saw a man who answered the
description furnished us. We stepped
up to him and asked if he was not
Mr.. Kelley. Kelley replied that that
was his name, and 1 asked him to ac-
company us to the station.
Admits Shortage
''Kelley made no resistance, and
after we had reached my office he adj
mitted that he was the man the Phila
delphia police wanted and that he

pany, admitting that this shortage
exceeded $4,000.
'He says that when he left Philadel
phia he went to Australia, and from
there to San Francisco, coming to Los
Angeles about a week ago. L am
sorry left and ran away he said,
and 1 want to go back to Philadelphia
and try to straighten affairs out and
face any charges they may have
against me. I am perfectly willing to
go before the papers are issued re-
manding me there.
"I don't know what charges have
been made against Kelley in the east,
as I was simply requested to appre-
hend him." concluded Chief Hammel
Kelley has little to say for himself,
and will not tell anything of his trip,
in which he nearly circled the globe
in an effort to escape from justice.
When he is taken back to Philadelphia
he will have been completely around
the globe.
