TALK or STANDARD OIL.
White, Miss Tarbeil and Professor
 Fsrurubaugb Made Speeches.

Brumhaugh Made speeches.
 Kansas City, Jan. 23.--william Allen White. the author and editor of The Emporia Gazette; Miss Ida M. Tarbell of New York. and Professor Martin C.. Brumbaugb~o the University of Penn sylvania, were the guests of honor here tonight and delivered addresses at the monthly dinner of the Knife and Fork Club. Earlier in the day Professor Brumbaa agh adressed the pupils of Cen tral High School on higher education Miss Tarbell spoke on Commercial Machiavellism.' dealing with Standard and other subjects.
 Mir. White made a characteristic talk on the Present Social and Political Movement" and said;
 The fight for recognition of the partnership of society is started. and honest citizens, both rich and poor, are enlisted dtagainst the Abimelech of or ganized capital, which has set itself up as prince of Israel, and no matter, who began it. at the close of this con- test we shall hear Abimelech say to his armor bearer. after the upper mill stone has hit his head and broken it.: Draw thy sword and kill me. that men may not say 6 woman slew me
 without for a moment deserving to be captious; without wishing to make any unpleasant comparison, one is con- strained to wonder If Abimelech did not pick out H. H. Rogers as his armor bearer and to wonder further if the sarcasm which he rourished at Mis- souris Attorney General may not be the blade by which Abimelech shall die"
 Mir. White continued:
 What the present movement de- mands is not that MT. Rogers and the owner of the corner peanut stand be put on an industrial level. but that Mir. Rogers be made to respect the law and that the absurdly dispropor- tionate differences between his and the peanut vendor be removed in-so-far as that difference is the result of Rogers's enjoyment of legal privilege and immu- mites which the peanut man does not enjoy"

Prosecution,a A9ndavits.

The Solicitor then took up pile of affidavits before him denying any sen timent against the prisoner, whicn would refuse him fair and a just trial In one package there were l59 Of these afidavits. He also read other aihda- wits denying statements that had been made in the affidavits of the attorneys for the defendants. He read an aff1da- wit from J. F. Irwin, who was charged by the defense with going about the county with petition asking contribu- tions for a fund to employ Hon. J. F. Stallings of Birmingham to help in the prosecution and working up a senti- ment against the prisoner. MT. Irwin said that he helped to raise the fund in the desire to see that justice was done. He denied, however, that he had at tempted to work up any sentiment against the defendant. Affidavits were read from P Nj. Bruner. E. M. Blnion, M. B. salter, s. P. Dunn. w. R. Seals C. E. Lacey and many others.
 On the motion for change of venue, after the affidavits had been. read, ar guments were submitted by Messrs. Hamilton and Powell for the defense and by Solicitor Bricken and Mir. Stall ings for the State. .5.
 Judge Richardson announced that ne would overru1e the motion for a change of venue.
 The third and last effort was then made to stave off the big fight.
 The defense asked for permission to make showing for fourteen witnesses in Kentucky who were summoned put who were unable to attend court. The State asked permission to examine these showings, which were statemen nts fr0m physicians and others oearlns upon hereditary insanity in the family
 h l~ mn nFanIEnn- sition that way. The State agreed to accept these showings.
 With this the court recessed Tor am ner.
 The court had to consume nearly all the afternoon and 1t was well atter o'clock before the twelve good men and true had been selected So mueh | time was taken by the court, because so many venlremen had no affirmative answer to the question: Have you q ! fixed opinion as to the guilt or mno' cence of the defendant that would sbiai your verdict?' the defense urged thai each venireman be asked: Have you paid or promised to pay anything fol 1 the prosecution of the defendantY
 Some of the veniremen failed t' qualify because they answered thu question in the affirmative, The 1urI box having been filled, Solicitor Brick en read the indictment which simply charged that Jack Thompson was gull ty of murder in that he Killed JohI RB. Cooper. Colonel Hamilton Tor th' defense pleaded for the prisoner no guilty, and second not guilty by req
 son of insanity.

Remember the A1aine!y

Hartford Courant
 This country should remove the re- mains of its wrecked public vessel, the Maine, from the harbor of Havana. First, because the removal is dictated by every consideration of international decency and courtesy, the sunken Maine being an obstruction and menace to navigation in the principal port of a friendly and not wealthy republic. Second, because the removal will give an opportunity for thoroughly exam ming the hull. and if it should be found that the Maine perished by an internal explosion every consideration of fair play makes 1t obligatory upon the gov ernment of the United States to pub fish that fact to the civilized world.

BASKETBALL LEAGUE.
Ferguson In Chattanooga Trying to
 Arrange Details.

Chattanooga. January 10.-(Special. )-W Hill Ferguson of Birmingham was in Chattanooga today comforting with the local men in regard to establishing basketball league similar to the one which existed about five years ago.
 It IS the plan of MT. Ferguson to re- organize the old circuit. which was com posed of Birmingham, Atlanta, Nashville and Chattanooga, and to arrange a series of games to be played in February and March A number of the best Chattanooga basketball players are interested in the movement, and there Is but little doubt that the matter will be carried through.
 Chattanooga will probably be represent. ed by Troop B. Most of the players who represented this city in basketball five Or six years ago are members of that or ganization, while there are several new troopers who would be glad to take part in the sport. The troop Is anxious to en- gage in anything by which interest will be stirred up among it's members, and 1t Is likely that the plans will be perfected at an early date.

EIGHT PERISH
 IN HOTEL FIRE
Panic SeizeS SIeeperS at West
 Hotel in Minneapolis
FIRE WAS INSIGNIFICANT
But ouickness of the Flames and the Dense Smoke Spread Terror to the Men and Women So
 Suddenly Awakened.

Minneapolis Minn., January 10.-Eight persons dead from suffocatlon or from leaping from a fre-proof building. a score of persons more or less injured by hav- ing their hands cut and gashed from smashing in windows, a magnificent property subjected to the ravages of fire, smoke and water, Is an epitome of the disaster which befell the West hotel at 7:20 o'clock today. The Dead.
 Capt John Berwin of truck No. 1, fell from the fourth floor to the sidewalk; was attempting to save Mrs. Barlow's life at the time.
 w. G. Nleels, Minneapolis chamber of commerce, suffocated.
 Thomas summerville, travelling man from Springfield, Mass, suffocated.
 J. E. Wolf, northwestern agent of the Sperry & Alexander company of New York, suffocated.
 Clinton B. Lamne. travelling man from New York suffocated.

 Mrs. M. B. Hodges, Minneapolis, jumped from seventh story window

 Injured.
 The most seriously injured: MT. and Mrs. Samuel spiesberger of Chicago. over come by smoke. He is in a serious condi- tion, will recover
 Mary Rowan, maid at hotel overcome by smoke condition serious.
 N. S. Amsden, superintendent Mnneapo- lis and Northern Elevator company, se- riously burned, may live.

 Judson L. Field, Chicago, face and hands badly burned; fought through fire to fire escape.
 Alice Larson, maid in the hotel, injured by jump from the fifth floor of the ho- tel to the top of the Unique roof. At first reported among the dead
 Fire Was Insignificant.
 The fire in itself was insignificant, be- ing confined to the elevator shaft and top floor in the corner of the building but the wild excitement which followed the first alarm hurried people into halls and out upon window lodges in frantic at- tempt to save themselves.
 There was really no help for several who lost their lives. The wood in the ele- vator shaft burned like finder, and a sheet of flame twenty feet wide mounting to the seventh story frightened the guests out of their senses and induced a panic.
 It was the huge volume of smoke that stampeded the guests, as the moment door was opened the room was filled with smoke, and the panic-stricken guests were compelled to beat out the windows to prevent instant suffocation. The fire loss will not exceed S30,000
