CITY WAS THREATENED
Eight Hundred Men Thrown Out
of Work---0ne Life
Lost.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, March S. The
killing of John Safely, a watchman,
who was thrown from the sixth story
of building was the only fatality in
the $1,000, 900 fire which practically de-
stroyed the American Cereal plant last
night The fire was still burning this
morning. but was under control.
Largest Plant of Kind.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, March S. The
plant of the American Cereal company,
the largest of its kind in the world,
comprising two entire blocks of brick
and iron structures. was destroyed by
fire last night. with the exception of
small group of cooper shops. storage
and packing rooms. The loss is esti-
mated at $l,5OO.OOO, with insurance at
nearly $1.000,00O.
The plant is built in a Triangle, at
the base of which is the group Of eleva-
tor building and boiler houses. At the
apex is the group of mill buildings and
more boiler houses. a street intersects
this triangle and divides the two
groups of buildings.
Started in Grinding Room.
The fire started in the hull grinding
room of one of the elevators and
sheet of flame enveloped that structure
In 10 minutes more the flames had
crossed the avenue TO the mill group
of buildings and the firemen were pow
erless to prevent the spread of flames
in either direction. The fire burned
northward against the wind slowly and
in the mill group with fearful TaDidity.
Five-story brick walls crumbled and
fell with a roar heard for many blocks.
Clouds of embers were driven by a
strong wind over an area six blocks
square, and a large number of men
with small hose and buckets were
drenching the roofs Of these bull I'ngs,
while in the vicinity of the fire there
was an exodus of families from dozens
of houses.
send For Help.
kilograms for help were sent TO the
river cities and smaller towns The
cereal mill employs in the neighbor-
hood of 500 men, and the loss will be a
serious blow to the city.
At midnight the flames were under
control. a portion of the mill group
of buildings was saved and the fire was
confined to the cereal plant. The sur
rounding buildings were on fire several
times, but the fire was extinguished.

the failure of Oku and Nogi TO crush
the Russian right yesterday Oyama
again transferred his weight to his
right and Kuroki succeeded in driving
in a wedge between Linevitch, the
main army and Rennenkampff' corps
which is the extreme left. The latter
is declared to be in grave danger of
being cut off or surrounded.
Lack of News OmInOus.
With the fate of the gigantic strug-
gle between Kuropatkin and Oyama
possibly already decided, ST. Peters
burg is awaiting with helpless silence
for news from the front. No private
or press dispatches giving news of to-
days battle have arrived here and the
mere fact that the curtain is run down,
taking a leaf out Of past experiences,
is pessimistically interpreted.
Reported In DisOrderIy Retreat.
There are ugly rumors in circula
tion that the Russian army is in full
disOrdeTly retreat. According to other
rumors the lack of news is accounted
for by a report that the Japanese have
cut the Russian line of communica-
ton. All military critics this morning
agree kuropatkin's position is eX-
tremely critical, and that today should
decide the issue.

two instances at least.
How the Deals Were Made.

Mrs. Chadwick received a certified
check for $4,000, an entry crediting

HE ACCUSES BOARD MEMBERS
Declares State Agricultural Organiza
ton is Being Used for Pri-
Vate Gain.

Springfield, Ill, March S.-What is
expected to be a scandal involving sew
eral members of the board of directors
of the Illinois Farmers institute was
aired yesterday when the board met
and ousted A B. Hostetter of Spring
field, as secretary Of the institute. 1t
is said Hostetter has not been in SYM
pathy with the board for some time
and that the business of the institute
has not been proceeding harmoniously.
Hostetter intimates there is another
story behind his dismissal. He said he
had opposed the actions on the part of
some of the beard members because
they have been using the institute for
their personal benefit.

Directors Hold stock.

a. P. Grout, of Winchester, treasurer
of the institute board, is president of
the fertilizer company. One of the
large stockholders, it is said. is Prof
c. c. Hopkins, of the University of Il
linois. Hopkins is professor of agron-
omy in the university and issues bulle-
tins and addresses farmers institute
meetings on subjects pertaining to the
soil. He is said to confine his talks
largely to the benefits derived from
fertilizers and the merits of the various
kinds.
HOstetter declares he was invited to
take stock in the corporation, but de-
clined TO do so because he considered
it would not be consistent with his po-
sitiOn, although other members of the
board held different view of the mat
ter.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1905-03-08
Charges Corporation Influence.

In answer TO charges preferred
against him, Hostetter presented a
written statement to the board in
which he appealed to the members ''to
use every effort to protect the institute
and our agricultural experiment sta
ton from the power and influence of
the grasping corporations which are
attempting to use these institutions,
supported by state funds, for private
gain"
The corporation referred to is the
New York & st. Louis Mining & Manu-
featuring company, which owns 10000
acres of phosphate land in Tennessee,
which is ground into powder for fer
tiliZing purposes. 1t is said that most
of the stock of the concern is held in
Illinois, and that large block of it is
in possession of directors of the farm
ers' institute.
