iidring bows and eloquent socks. Both
had floral adornments, Mr.. Gross wearing
a bachelor button and Mr.. Pierce a
tiny rosebud.
All the commissioners seemed in jovial

almost everything except the case in

When Chief Matthews entered the office
OF Secretary Gee prior TO the assembling
OF the board only Chairman Luther and
Commissioner Gross were present. Mr.

carried In his left hand two papers. He

Mr.. Baker arrived at 1916 and the hoard

A spectacular fire which at one time

tucket broke out shortly after IL o'clock
this forenoon. An alarm from box 81.
quickly followed by a second alarm, which
brought the entire fighting force OF the
city to the spot, and little later, in
response to calls for assistance, is men
from the Central F'ttiis department. -ttndcr
command of Chief Lees, put in an ap-
pearance and rendered excellent aid in
subduing the flames.
The fire started in pile OF cotton Bales
in the yard OF the works. II spread 10
the surrounding buildings, and 1t was
fully two hours later before IL could be
said to be under full control, although
because OF the excellent work OF the de-
partment, rendered possible by nigh
water pressure, the loss will not be as
great as might have been expected. Just
what It Will be Is something which no one
at this time could possibly estimate.
What started the blaze Is not known.
When first seen the great bales OF cotton,
fully 900 OF them. which had been piled in
the yard just west OF the stables. was
seething mass OF flames. The wind was
quite high. and what had begun AZ n tiny
spark OF fire. which had possibly caught
from passing locomotive. spread so
rapidly that 1t was a furnace in less than
20 seconds
Just TO the cas- OF this pile OF cotton
was the stable. in which at THE time there
were only two horses. The man in charge
quickly got them out OF danger
Close by was the sorting room. a three
story brick structure in which about 12s
girls were at work. The wind blew the
smoke from the burning cotton directly
towards this structure, and In less time
than II takes 10 tell II the building was
filled TO Suffocation.

stored what are known as linters. This
building was about 100 feet by 70 feet. and
one story high. 10 was only n minute
after the fire started that a spark reached
this structure and here for the next hour
was the hardest tight the nremen had on
their hands.
The interior was a eeething mass of
flames on which were turned many
Sreams. for II was feared that from there

the fire would communicate with the big
four-story picker building which adJoined
IL on the east.
Streams were directed on the Inter
building from the windows OF the adjoin-
ing structures and the fight was sue
cessful. although occasionally some of the
other structures would show the effects
OF the great heat which was being gen.
Grated and fire break out on the roofs.
These fires, however, were small and as
close watch was kept they were quick

Hardly had the last stroke from the
first alarm sounded before hundreds OF
people from all parts OF the city, attract
ed by the great volumes OF smoke which
poured from the burning cotton, gathered
about in the vicinity OF the wadding
works. Capt. Vananda OF the police de-
partment detailed a large force of men
about the property and shortly after they
arrived fire lines were established which
were pretty generally observed
One thing that helped materially In
keeping down the flames was the auxi
larry fire apparatus with which the works
Of the Union Wadding company are
equipped But these were too small TO
cope with such blaze and although the
employees Of the big factory did all that
was possible TO assist the firemen there
was but little that they could accom-
plish.
one incident which occurred while the
fire was under way should receive the at
tention OF the city government. as well
as that OF the officials OF the Consolidated
road
Chief Butler ordered the hose wagon be-
longing to No. station 10 return 10 It's
quarters for more hose. and IN making
the trip II was obliged 10 pass over tho
grade crossing at Pine street. Just as the
apparatus reached that point the gates
were dropped and for fully six minutes
the wagon was Obliged TO wat while n
switching engine and its crew went back
and forth over the crossing
Evidently the conductor or the engineer
cared nothing fer the possible damage
which might occur by this delay, and the
nremen were obliged 10 wait. IL was an
act inexcusable and Il Is n pity that some
police officials did not see fit 70 make an
arrest
So far as learned up tn 1 o'clock there
were no serious accidents one girl Clara
McArdle. who was al work IN the sorting
room, tainted when the smoke from the
cotton poured into the windows, and sne
was carried out.
Just what estimate is placed on the
loss no one was ready 10 say, but II
will probably amount 20 fully $500 OF
which $4,000 Is on the stock and si0.DD
on the building. Both stock and building
are understood to be fully covered by In
surance.

After the commissioners came out oi
their star chamber session City Solicitor
Albert A. Baker made the following
statement TO the waiting newspaper men;
"The board thus far has simply discuss
cd the evidence and reviewed parts OF Il

notes, to make sure that all OF tho board
understood exactly the nature OF the evil
dence discussed; and the board has ad-
journed until tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock to further consider the evidence,
as the city solicitor is obliged TO be with
the committee on claims OF the city coun-
ell the rest Of the afternoon"
Persistent efforts TO induce the commits
sioners to talk failed. except in the case
OF Commissioner Gross. who laughngly
denied that the board had actually decid-
cd and had merely adjourned till tomor-
row morning in order TO give the city So
iicitor opportunity TO put the decision in
appropriate language. There's nothing 20
that" said Mr. Gross with emphasis. "No

THE MORAN BONUS.
Statement by Former Clerk OF Board
Of Public Works.

Some additional Light is thrown on the
bonus Of 1910 claimed b. Contractor
L. J. Moran foi completing the Big Cot
tonwood conduit 81 days ahead OF con.
tract time by a statement made by former
clerk OF the board OF public works, W. IL.
wilkins. IT appears, according 20 MIR,
wilkins statement. that the contractor
was ordered to work on all outside con-
crets because the temperature was below
~ degrees and that the contract gave the
board Of public works authority to stop
the work under such conditions. Mr., VIII
kins, acting under Instructions from
Chairman Wall or the former board OF
public works, ordered the work stopped
on Dec. "a, but the order was given YER
hally and was reduced 10 writing b. Mr.,
Wlihins on Feb. 9 at the request OF
Moran.
The statement Of Mr.. wilkins in rela-
ton 20 the matter follows.
"rhe contract does not specify that the
number OF days, but that Il should
be completed by a specified date, July 10.
IL is further specified IN the contract that
TX any delay Il occas,oned By any action
Of the board OF public works, as In this
case, where I ordered the work stopped
this circumstance may be taken into con
slderation by the board. This clause does
not state that such circumstances must
lie Ia ken into consideration, but that Il
may be considered, leaving such consld-
Grafton optional with the board.

Dec. "A. and It was stopped. II was merely
In compliance with the terms of the con-
tract which provided that concrete should
not be laid when the temperature was be-
low SO degrees
1.-THE office OF the city engineer figures
that Moran is entitled to Is days
bonus because the work was stopped FOE
that period by cold weather, The weather
should have been taken into consideration
by the contractor when he made the con-
tract, and the bonus for that period was
subject TO the consideration of the board
when the contract was completed
THE board should have taken up and
considered the matter OF the bonus when
the final estimate was presented TO that
body by the office Of the city engineer
IT was their duty to check each item, and
the attention OF the board should have
been called particularly to the bonus item
by the city engineer.
The item was caught, however. by the
auditor, who directed attention to II.
when the item should first have been set
tied by the board,

cept that | desire TO explain my posi-
ton. ! ordered the work stopped on Dec.
a, and failed to send a written confirma-
ton OF the telephone order to Moran the
following day. The matter then passed
from my mind On Feb o Mr.. Gowan,
who Is Moran's agent, called at the office
OF the board and asked me for written
confirmation under date Of Dec. a. OF the
telephone order, ! wrote the letter, under
the other office letters Of Feb. O. had
nothing 10 conceal IN the matter. In my
opinion the letter is not proper basis
for claiming the bonus"

However, there il not much doubt

with the exception OF few leases
which expire on the last day OF the
present month. all mines In the Gold
field district are closed today. The
leasers agreed 70 the new schedule, but
taking into consideration that they are
taking out sensationally rich ore and
that their leases have less an two weeks
more to run, they can very well afford
TO accept the new schedule,
Strenuous efforts are being put forth
by business men to bring about an
amicable agreement as II Is feared that
should the dispute be prolonged II
might end in a general sympathetic
strike, The leaders at union head
quarters state they expect TO win and
consider their demands just. The mine
mine owners state that they desired
longer notice. The mines are IN no dan
ger Of being flooded, as the pumps are
working.
Mlpel owners have decided to await
deyebshnents and IN the meantime
work will be suspended indefinitely. 1t

railroad company Is much opposed to
this organization and strike is mo-

Brokers and business men who are
forced to rely on the operation of the
mines for existence are almost panic

dustries have been thrown ont of EN-
ployment In a desire to cut expenses.
