SUES GENERAL DODGE
| ON DEWEY Hail ACCOUNT
Ames W. Atwell Claims That. He Was
to Get Half of Subscription to uni
vcrsity Building and Hasn't Been
Paid Half Of Carnegie's Gift.

Northfeld, April o. c-Maj.-GeneraI
Grenville NJ, Dodge president Of the
board Of trustees Of Norwich university,
has been sued by Amcs w. Atwell for
s25 900, alleged to be due him az agent
in collecting funds for the building Of
Dewey hall in this place. Some time
after Admiral Dewey's victory III Manila
Bay on May /, 1903, a project for build
ing d memorial for the famous naval
hero was put in movement and it was
planned 10 place the memorial here as
Admiral Dewey had attended Norwich.
Mr.. Atwell was chosen TO secure sub
scriptions.
The proposition Of Mr.. Atwell, accord
ing to Tile complaint, was that he would
collect the fund, but was to receive so
per cent. thereof for his time and trous
bic. This, it il alleged, was accepted
BY the board OF trustees, and Mr.. At
we'll, lie alleges, was SO fortunate az to
raise 100000. Of this amount. it is
stated. $4,000 was given by Andrew
Carnegie.
The complaint alleges that tie plain
tiff received his allotted 10 per cent.
commission on the $4,000 raised, NV
elusive Of Mr.. Carncgie's gilt, but bis
commission on that gift was denied him.
Suit has therefore been brought for
s25, 900, half OF the Carnegie gift. Gen.
Dodge, as president Of the board Of
trustees il made the defendant Gen.
Dodge resides in New York.
The Trusfees' eide
The executive officers of Norwich uni
versity are in New York, where they at
tended the New York alumni dinner,
and there is no one here authorized To
make official reply 10 tho statement
made by Amos Al. AtweII in his suit
against Gen. GrenyiIle Dodge, begun in
the Supreme count Of New York, that
be was, by arrangement with the trus-
tees and faculty Of Norwich university,
TO receive SO pei cent Of all money col
ldcted for memorial to Admiral George
Dewey.
The Dewey memorial contributions
amounted TO something like $4,000, and
resulted in the erection OF Dewey hall
in 1908.
Andrew Carnegie gave no part to this
fund. He did give $4,000 for library
building to be used III connection with
the university. but his gift had nothing
to do with the memorial fund.
So far as can be learned from those
who have general knowledge Of the
matter, Dewey hall cost. when complet-
ed, in the vicinity Of $4,000.
Mr.. Carnegic's gift was entirely sepa-
rate and distinct from all other gifts
and endowments. Mr.. Atwell has not
been ia Norfhfield since sora time be-
fore the completion of Dewey ball, and
has been in no way connected with Nor
wiclt university sinee be ceased TO solicit
contributions to the hall.

North Yskims. May Fire which
broke out Saturday night in the yards

stroyed the Northern Pacific freight
depot. full TO Overlooking with freight
II also burned the warehouses of the
iakima Hardware Company. Yakima
Produce Company. Z. 5. Morgan. J.
NJ. Perry and tlK Yakima Milling
Company. 4 string Of dozen freight
cars was burned. The Northern Pa
ciac passenger station was badly
scorched. and the shop of ". W. Fee
long. contractor. was damaged.
The loss has not been fully comput-
ed. bot it is thought will be in the
neishborhood Of $3.50. ooo. The Pho
mere Lumber Company had stock Of
shout SIS. 900. The Morgan ware
house was practically empty. aud the
loss on the building Is about 81. 600.
The warehouses Of the Yakima Hard.
ware Company. Yakima Milling Com.
pany and ]. NJ. Perry were crowded
with stuff. The loss on these three.
including contents. was about $50. coo.
Agent Meeks says it is impossible TO
estimate the loss OF freight in the de
pot, This structure was about 60 feet
wide and 400 fee: long. The agent
says it was cramued TO its capacity
with freight. The wooden buildings
burned like finder. They were all
ablaze within Is miutes and were on
the ground in 50 minutes. For time
it looked as if the passenger depot and
the Yakima Grocery Company ware
house. the latter containing a large
wholesale stock, would so. and in
that event it was feared the fire would
spread across the tracks 10 the retail
section of town.
The Northern Pacific passenger sta.
tioin was saved by the hardest kind Of
work. As last resort a string of
freight cars was pulled up between it
aud the burning freight depot across
the track. The cars burned. but the
handsome passenger station was little
the worse for the deal.

DOCK At SEATTLE IS
DESTROYED BY FIRE

Seattle. May Fire which broke
out at $3.50 o'clock this morning prac.
tically destroyed the Arlington dock
foot Of University street. For several
minutes after the fire was discovered
the entire waterfront seemed threat
ened. and it was an hour before the
flames were under control.
The army transport Sherman. lying
in the slip south of the dock. caught
fire and was only saved by the promp.
work and excellent discipline Of the
jackies aboard. As soon as the flames
were seen shooting from the ware
house the night Waterman OF the Sher-
man turned in his fire alarm and the
crew came swarmins from their quar-
tiers. A line of hose was laid and 81
1888 stream Of water was shooting
from the transport.
Army stores Of ammunition were on
the dock and twice series Of explo-
sions broke out, lasting several min
utes, making the disaster resemble a
sham battle and at the same time en-
dangering the firemen.
Besides the explosives on the dock
were several hundred tons Of -four snd
hay, besides about 500 tons Of general
merchandise. which was for the cargo
of the Sherman for the Orient. This
is complete loss, except the canned
goods.
