OVERCOME BY
ACID FUMES

As the result of their logged fight against the sui
locating and poisoning fumes Of the fire which last night
destroyed the stock of the Spokane Cloak Suit House,
three fremen A. c. Raub, N. o. Barker and M. Riley
may die, while Chief Harry Myers is in bed very sick

About O'Clock this morning the were worn out
and returned to station No. s. While sitting around dis
cussng the fire all three almost simultaneously doubled
up in commissions. DR.. w. @. Webb called and with
the assistance of three other emen succeeded in quiet
ing Barker whom it took several men to hold While
Chief Myers was looking on he too fell in convul-
sion Dr. Webb explains that the trouble was caused by
a partial paralysis of what to the profession is known as
the Fright heart" This probably caused by the
carboc acid fumes from the burning moth balls, which
contain carbolic and other acids

BASEMENT FIRE CAUSES
HEAVY LOSS

the draft had given It Roadway.
Firemen dragged chemical
through the dense smoke and over
came the small blaze.
Chief Myers cannot account for
the cause of the conflagration. Mrs.
Simon Seitenbach, wife of the pro-
prietor, attributes the trouble to
defective electric wiring. Mr..
Seitenbach, who was duck hunting
near Coulee City, has been notified
and is expected this afternoon.
This is the second fire in this
basement within the last few
weeks.
The building is a $4,000 struc-
ture of two stories owned by G. d.
Linn, postoffice inspector. The up
stairs is utilized as rooming
house by Mrs. Anna e. Orr. Her
property was damaged by water
and smoke, but the loss is fully
covered by insurance.
The loss to the building, estr-
mated at about $4,000, Is also full
ly covered. The amount of the
insurance on the Seitenbach stock
was not learned owing to Mr..
Seitenbach's absence from the city.
The stock was ruined.

UNIONS EXPECT
..# VICTORY

1t looks like the owners Of the
Star shingle mill and the ice rink
and plant will have to come to
terms with the local unions. When
the ice rink was built the firm en-
ployed all non-union help on the
building with the result that the
unions called out the engineers in
the employ of the concern and
placed its business on the unfair
list. An effort was made to bring
about a settlement of the trouble
last spring and an agreement was
signed by which the firm was
taken off the unfair list by the
Central Labor union. The car
penters, however, refused to con
cur in the agreement and retained
the company on their unfair list
also placing heavy fine against
it. Whether the action of the Car
penters' union prompted the firm
to break its agreement with the
Central Labor union is not. known
but this agreement was not lived
up to and the company was again
declared unfair to organized labor
by the central body.
With the coming Of winter ant
the skating season the firm has
been trying to get things in shape
to do business. Among the mos
essential things needed by a RIM
Is a popular manager. Eddie Quinn
lately was offered the position, but
he refused until the firm square
things up with the unions.

Cement WORKERS
WANT RECOGNITION

The reorganizins or the Brother

city will probably precipitate an
other lengthy argument between
the building laborers and tho
plasterers on one side and the &C.
ment workers on the other over
the question of jurisdiction. The
stationery of the American
Brotherhood of Cement Workers
International claims affiliation
with the American Federation of
Labor and the International
Building Trades Council. If these
claims prove boni ide it is prob
able that the internationals will
be called upon to settle the ques-
ton of jurisdiction over work in

DUBLIN, Nov. 17.-Croker today
gave out an interview adding an
other chapter to the quarrel with
Hearst and paying respects to his
own enemies in Tammany. In re-
ply to questions as to the cause of
Hearst's defeat Croker said:
GOD Almighty. Hearst's defeat
Is the judgment of heaven on his
scurrilous charges and ungentle-
manly conduct of the campaign, in
which he villified everyone who
didn't hold his opinion.
Hearst referred to me as a cor.
rupt politician. Then why did he
visit me in 1903 and implore me
to manage his campaign and re.
turn to the leadership of Tam.
many? l am proud that he class.
es me with Roosevelt, Belmont
Morgan, Root, Ryan and others
These gentlemen have done more
for New York while asleep than
Hearst ever did awake. Hearst is
a slave to passion and egotism. He
thinks he is greater than the
party.

ENLIGHTENMENT
CHARGED

Detective McDermott today ar
rested T. E. Travis, age 81, on a
warrant charging ENLIGHTENMENT.
Travis formerly worked for the
Ideal steam laundry and when he
quit, 1t is claimed, he was short
800 in his collections. 1t is Gus
tomary for laundry drivers to do
their own collecting and deliver
ing. In the event that collection
is not made the laundry proprie
tors charge the amount up against
the driver. 1t is not known how
much of the 800 Travis Is charged
with embezzling was on bills not
collected. The prisoners father
this afternoon said he would set
tie the matter by paying whatever
sum is due the laundry.

SEATTLE, Nov. IA farmer
near Auburn lost his entire farm
of 20 acres in the flood. The
Stuck river changed it's course and
cut through his land with the re-
suit that what once was farm is
now boiling current.
The total damage done in this
vicinity may reach $1,000, 900

The water is subsiding as rapidly
as it raised. The food was caused
by a rainfall of nearly three
inches of water in four hours and
a Chinook wind that melted the

In order to prevent the passing
of r. l.. Hogan as juror in the
Sloane case this morning Attorney
Robertson, for the defense, was
forced to use his eighth pre-
emptory challenge. Hogan was
the first juror examined. His re-
plies to questions put by Prosecu-
tor arnhart did not convince Rob-
ertson of the Jurors entire lack Of
prejudice, so he moved that Hogan
be excused. Judge Huneke denied
the motion and Mr.. Robertson said
he would use his peremptory. This
made the eighth pereDptory chal-
lepge for the defense, against four
of the prosecutions. The prosecu-
ton still has the right of two more
challenges and the defense four.

but had formed an opinion dis
qualifying him. He was excused
