TORPEDO TRAINING
SHIP IS BURNED
French Vessel Is Destroyed
While Riding at Anchor
in the Harbor of Toulon
THREE MEN KILLED

TOULON, France, Nov. 25.-The tor
pedo schoolship Algeciras, stationed in
this harbor. was destroyed by fire at
a late hour tonight. There were 500
men on board when the fire broke out,
but 1t is believed that all but three
of them were saved.
The Algericas was a ship of the line
and for number of years had been
doing duty as a harbor vessel and as a
torpedo training ship. She was of 5047
tons displacement and was built in 1855
The burning of the schoolship created
the greatest alarm throughout the
city News of the fire was first con-
veyed about IL o'clock by the firing of
a cannon in the harbor The people
hurriedly left the cafes and theaters
and rushed to the docks whence they
could see the Algeciras mass of
flames The burning vessel stood out
brilliantly in the encircling darkness
and the glare of the flames lit up the
other shipping and the coast and
wharves.
There was terrible anxiety concern
ing the fate of the 500 men on board
until the authorities announced that
everybody had been taken off in boats
and saved. with the exception of
three. Those men did not answer
the roll call and 1t is presumed they
were burned to death
The garrison here was called out to
render assistance, and the crews of
the warships of this division hurried
ly launched their boats TO go to the
rescue of their comrades who were on
board the Algeciras for purposes of in
struction. Tugboats and fireboats, as
well as several steapers lying in port,
slipped their anchors and likewise went
out to help.
AS soon as the men had been taken
off the vessel the efforts of the authori-
ties were directed to safeguarding the
other ships anchored in the vicinity of
the Algeciras, including the new bat
tleship Patrie and the torpedo gunboat
Lahore. The warships were towed to
places of safety.
The authorities came rapidly to the
conclusion that the Algeciras was
doomed and she was left to burn her
self out.
The discipline maintained on board
the Algeciras was excellent. A ma
jority Of the men were cool and COL
lected. The small boats of the Alge-
ciras were launched, filled with men
and rowed away. while those who could
not leave in this manner awaited the
arrival of their rescuers. A few of
the men, however, were forced blythe
flames to jump overheard and swim
away. Six torpedoes on board the
schoolship exploded while the men were
leaving the vessel
There was much fear during the
height of the fire that torpedo maga-
zine on shore would be ignited, but this
was prevented by deluging the maga-
zine with streams of water from
powerful hreboats. 1t is not known
whether the fire originated from an ex-
plosion of powder or broke out among
the stores on board.
The Algeciras had been used as a
schoolship since 1894.

HOTEL PROPRIETOR

NEGRO HIS COMPANION

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Nov. 25.-In an
attempt to hold up and rob J. Frank
Emery, proprietor of the Kentucky
House, second-rate hotel at 905
North Sixth street, Kansas City, Kan,
this evening, Emery was shot and
killed and Lee Simon, a negro porter,
was shot in the shoulder and slightly
an ironmolder from independence, Mo,
one of the would-be robbers, was shot
in the neck by policemen who pur-
sued him, and Sam Hutton, a negro,
down Minnesota avenue, the principal
street in the city. Rumble's wound is
not serious. Both Rumble and Hut
ton were arrested. Hutton's home is
in Kansas City, Kan.
Rumble and Hutton were intoxicated.
They entered the Kentucky House, and,
walking over to the desk, told Emery
TO hand over his money. No guests
were in the lobby at the time. Emery
told them to get out; that he had no
money. The men staggered from the
desk, apparently to make their de-
parture. When they reached the door,
however, Rumble braced himself
against the negro and with a shaky
hand fired two shots at the hotel
keeper. Guests rushed into the lobby
and found Emery dead, lying across
the hotel register, which was spread
open on the clerks desk. One bullet
from Rumble's revolver went wild.
The second had pierced Emery's chest
just below the heart, causing almost
instant death.
A guest poked his head out of the
door of his room, twenty feet down
the corridor from the office. Quick as
a flash Rumble fired two shots in his
direction. The guest retreated to his
room and Hutton fed.
Rumble and Hutton fed down the
rear stairway. There they encoun-
tered Simon, the porter, who had been,
attracted by the shots and was just
descending the steps Rumble fired
shot at Simon that struck the porter
In the shoulder, and the two robbers
pushed by him and bolted for the
street.
The police station is situated across
the street from the hotel and police
were on the scene a minute or two
after the first shot was fired. Rumble
and Hutton We're seen by police on Min
nesota avenue, a block from the hotel,
and gave chase, firing as they ran.
One bullet struck Rumble a glancing
blow on the cheek and caused the
molder, because of hfs drunken con-
dition, to stagger and fall. Hutton
stopped running when he realized that
Rumble had been shot, and the pair
were arrested.
Simon also was taken to the sta
ton and his wound dressed. There
1T was stated that the wounds of both
Rumble and Simon were slight
Rumble appears to have forced the
negro, Hutton, to join him in the at
tempted hold-up. After the two men
were arrested a woman who saw
them enter the hotel door and ascend
to the Office, which is situated on the
second floor, told the police she over
heard Rumble say to Hutton:
It's money we want If you don't

RIOTERS ARE ANED
BY SOLDIERS

HAMILTON. Ont, Nov. 25.-Today
was marked by unusual quiet on the
streets contrasted with the riotous
scenes of the last two days. Several
cars ran during the day and evening.
In the outlying districts stones were
thrown and blank cartridges were ex-
ploded under the wheels, but there
were no serious hostile demonstrations
The soldiers camped in the armory
under arms, awaiting riot call, and
the police reserves at the city hall
probably contributed toward the peace

ever, do not believe the trouble Is at
an end. The persons who were injured
in the riots of Friday and Saturday

Emperor King, received the members of
the delegations in the throne room of

the budget of 1906. This increase is
mainly on account of army expendi-

Pope Plus AWAITS
VISIT Of KING

ROME, Nov 25.-It would appear to-
night that King George of Greece had
abandoned the idea of visiting the Pope
during his present sojourn in Rome,
although he may still decide so to do
tomorrow. The feelings of the Vatican
authorities will be hurt If the Grecian
King does not call upon the Pontiff,
and they are chagrined that he did not
announce in the beginning whether or
not he intended to do SO. If the visit
takes place on Monday the Vatican
will not be entirely appeased, as 1t will
be a decision of the last moment. In
any event, the Vatican authorities feel
that the Pope has been treated with a.
certain lack of courtesy, but should
King George decide on Monday to paw
this visit the Pope will receive him.
