Alamogordo, n. NJ, Mar. 20.-The
ten-room Gatlin boarding house here
was destroyed by fire at 4:3O o'clock
this morning and W. G. Higginboth-
am, of Fannin count, Texas, a boar
der, was burned to death, the other
occupants of the house barely escap-
ing with their lives. Mr. Gutlin, tn
proprietor of the boarding house,
was seriously burned but will recover,
and members of his family were also
slightly injured. The building and
contents were totally destroyed with
insurance of $4,000. The origin Of
the fire is not definitely known.
At first it was believed that the
fire had followed a murder and that
the building had been ignited in the
hope of covering up a crime. The
Justice of the peace for Alamogordo
called a coroner's jury to investigate.
and this jury reached the conclusion
that the fire was caused by electric
light wires and that the direct cause
of Higginbotham' death was a shock
from these wires, a mass of tangled
light wires having been found lying
around the body of the victim. Hig-
ginbotham's body was charred and
burned almost past recognition.
Fore some time after the fire broke
out it was not known that Higgin-
botham was in the house. all the eff
forts of the fire fighters having been

Slices Up the Legislative Ap-
preparation Measure,

, Washington, Mar. 20.--In less than
twenty minutes time today the senate
voted away $140,000.000 of the pub
lie funds. This sum is carried by the
pension appropriation BILL when
brief document was made the subject
of very little discussion.
The railroad rate bill was laid aside
for the day and the major portion OF
the time was devoted to consideration
of the fortications appropriation bill.
In that connection the necessity for
sea coast fortfiication in the Philip
pines was discussed at considerable
length. with the result that all provi-
sions for such fortiheations in these
islands was eliminated from the bill.
The consideration of the measure was
not concluded
There was also a brief discussion
Of the power of a conference commit
tee so as to amend the bill providing
for the punishment of premature di-
vulgenee of government secrets so a.
to make the inhibition extend to sem
ators and members of the house, bur
the subject was left undisposed OF for
the time.
When the senate convened, Over
man presented an amendment to the
railroad rate bill providing that In
cases of review of the findings Of the
interstate commerce commission by
the courts: mo writs. njhnctons or
mterlocutary orders shall be granted
by any district or circuit court without
first giving five days notice to the
adverse party nor until the petition
and answer are filed and hearing
thereon is haid."

lily who were soundly asleep, to es-
cape. When the body was found the
fire was practically over and the
men, women and children fell back
horror struck over the gruesome dis
covery. Higginbotham was lying on
his face. fully dressed, but with cloth
ing and flesh burned to a cinder
over his body lay a tangled mass of
light wires which had fallen from the
ceiling.
Gatlin, the proprietor of the board
ing house, said tonight that Higgin-
botham, he believed, had died while
trying to save members of the Gatlin
family. Other people outside the
house say that the dead man was
once safely outside but that the alarm
was given that members of the Gatlin
family were in the house, and that he
went back to rescue them. 1t is now
believed that he rushed into the mass
of wires which had fallen from the
ceiling and that he was killed by an
electrick shock.
Higginbotham was an old friend of
the Gatlin family. He had been here
for about month and the funeral will
be held here. He had some money on
deposit in the bank here and was con-
sidered well fixed nancially. He was 81
years old and bachelor, but has two
sisters living in Fannin county, Texas

trade.

Phoenix, Ariz., Mar. 20.--Sadie
Jones, aged 33, under commitment TO
the territorial asylum for the insane
from Tombstone, died at that insti
tuition late last night from injuries re-
ceived at the hands of a female at
tendant named Halle jerks.
According to the story told by Tille
Ditto, another attendant, who VII.
messed the affair, the Jones woman
was thrown on bed and a large rag
saturated with chloroform was held
over her face until she was helpless.
This procedure was explained by tbs
jerks woman to be necessary as
punishment due the patient on ac-
count of the disturbing noise she had
made. The Ditto woman tried to
force her to desist but being under
meath her in authority was unsuccess-
full.
The Jones woman died three hours
after the punishment was inflicted
hut the matter was kept from the au
thorities until this morning.
AS soon as the crime was discover
ed the authorities went to the asylum
and placed Miss jerks under arrest,
TO be held pending the coroner's ex-
animation, which is set for tomor-
row. She refuses to explain her ac-
ton further than to say that she was
doing her duty.
Nothing has so stirred up Phoenix
for many months and the woman will
undoubtedly be tried for murder.

constitutional debate OF more than
an hour on the point as to whether
the house could do as it saw fit in the

that IL could, and that 1t prescribed
its own action by Its rules However.
these rules prohibited increasing a
salary without provision of law The
final round for the day was a debate
as to whether the house could get as
good packing boxes as the senate did

COUNSEL FOR PACKERS

Chicago, Mar. 2O.-Attorney Gen
eral Moody spoke nearly all day today
in the hearing Of the immunity pleas
advanced by the packers, concluding
his argument just in time to allow

packers were not well founded. and
that they could not be entitled TO inn
munity because they had given their
evidence of their own free Will. and
had not been placed on oath, nor sub
jected to compulslon Of any kind. He
at times grew very sarcastic in his
references to the statements OF the
attorneys that their clients could not

BELIEVE SETTLEMENT Is

Delegates Gradually Getting Close to
Basis for an Understanding.

Algeciras, Mar. 20.--A basis for the
adjustment OF the rival claims of
France and Germany before the con-
ference on the Moroccan reforms has
not yet been found. The Associated
Press learns from one of the most in
terested of the delegates that the Aus
irians are preparing a further police
project which 1t Is hoped will contain
a suggestion less Objectionable TO
France than the Casa Blanca propo-
sitlon, while at the same time safe
guarding the international principle.
The proposed guarantee consists of
an inspecting general with full power,
nominated by the powers, to which
he shall be responsible.
1t Is stated this evening that this
week will see the end of the confer
ence, but the impression is growing
that a settlement Is much nearer than

STATEHOOD
VOTE WILL
COME TODAY
Requires Adoption Of Special
Rule in House.
WILL BE FINAL TEST
OF INSURGENTS STRENGTH

Washington, Mar. 20-The state
hood bill will be taken up by the
house in the morning under a special
rule which is required to take it from
the speakers desk, where it now re-
poses. The special rule is necessary
else without it the bill goes by rou-
tine to the house committee on terri
tories where there is grave reason to
believe, once it has reached, it will re-
main for an indefinite period.
In turn, it requires vote of the
house to adopt the special rule to take
the bill from the speakers desk and
send it to conference and on this vote
there will be forty minutes of debate
This debate will be shared between
the advocates of concurrence in the
senate amendment cutting out New
Mexico and Arizona and the members
who will stand by the house bill.
The advocates of the house bin have
a decided tactical advantage in the
vote on the special rule since there
are good many members who would
be inclined to favor the senate amend
ments but who would not care to vote
against a rule direct from the speak
ers room.
A meeting of the republican "insur-
gents" will probably be held In the
morning. when their course will be
determined, The leaders of the insur-
gents declare that the rule will be
adopted, but that while they have no
objection to sending the bill to con-
ference they will vote against the rule
as they consider 1t a form of con-
structive instruction to the mouse con-
ferees that they must not report un-
less they can reach an agreement
In accordance with the house bill.
The insurgents predict that the vote
on the special rule tomorrow morn
ing will be the last one in which the
regulars" can hold their strength
and that II the report comes in from
the conferees Arizona and New Mex
leo will be eliminated from the bill.
