BODIES OF VICTIMS BURNED TO A CRISP

/ fWabasha, Minn., July 19.-Fire dur.
ing the morning destroyed the Hof-
mann house and lunch counter at the
depot. Seven lives were lost. The
dead are: Mrs. Fred T. Hofmann and
her seven-months. son; James
Hunt, bus driver; Gertrude Stam-
schoir, diningroom girl; Rebecca Ham
mond, domestic; Robert Johnson, ex.
press messenger, and Engineer Cook.
The catastrophe was the most ap-
palling in the history of the city.
The fire, which started in the kitchen
from an overturned lamp, seemed to
envelop the entire building in one
mass of flame. 1t was almost impos'
/ sible to save anything from the third
story, where the proprietor and his
family and the help slept. The guests
Fon the second floor escaped with but
slight bruises.
AS soon as the ruins cooled off res.
cuilg hands were at work to remove
the; unfortunate ones from the ruins.
Mrs. Hofmann and her baby were the
first to be removed. They were lying
on / mattress. Nothing but the trunks
of the bodies could be found. This
was true of all the victims.
The burned hotel was a three-story
structure containing twenty or more
rooms. A tramp named McDavitt, who
had reached here just before the fire
broke out, saved the lives of four wo'
men, all of whom had been overcome
in the rooms by smoke. He carried
them to windows and dropped them
into the arms of people waiting below.

REASON GIVEN BY CHIEF 5rATls.
TlcIAN HYDE FOR HANDING
in RESIGNATION.
BLAnEs BROKERS FOR HIS TROUBLES
HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED AND
INDICATED FIVE TIMES
IN FOUR YEARS.

Washington, July ! Chief statis-
tcian Hyde of the department of agri-
culture during the day resigned his
position and the resignation has been
accepted by Secretary Wilson. AS
sistant Secretary Hays has been de-
tailed to take charge of the statistical
work until the vacancy shall be filled.
The following is the text of Mr..
Hyde's letter of resignation:
During the last four years, or since
succeeded in making the crop re-
ports of the department reasonably
accurate and correspondingly valuable
to the AGRICULTURAL and commercial in
terests of the country, my administra-
tion of the Office have the honor to
hold has been constantly under fire
from one side Of the market or the
ether. Five times it has been inves-
tigated and on every occasion have
been vindicated. In January, 1908, l
was awarded $4,000 damages in libel
suit against prominent firm of cotton
brokers by jury of their own friends
and fellow citizens. These results
have been very gratifying to me, but
have the highest medical authority for
the statement that the continued fight
on me has already considerably short
ened my life. At the present time 1T
is an accepted fact that powerful
organization is bent on bringing about
my retirement, by good means or
other. don't think the position is
worth the fight necessary to its reten-
tion and the organization in question
is welcome to whatever satisfaction 1t
can derive from my withdrawal from
the unequal struggle. If any of my
friends think that ought not to retire
under fire would have them reniem-
Der that there is never time when
am not under fire. I have the honor,
therefore, to tender you herewith res.
ignation of my appointment as statis.
tician and chief of the bureau of Stats.
