 committee will lay before the >conven- tioH an elastic currency splan il has prepared.
 Currency reform is apparently the keynote and the main idea of the con vention and so many plans have been presented and suggested for consider ation that confusion has resulted. Therefore it is the unanimous opinion of the delegates that tOmOrrow's ses- sion will be characterized by a warm discussion when the subject is brought up. but conservative and influential members feel certain that a plan of currency reform will be agreed upon before the convention finally adjourns.
 Addresses of welcome were made to- day by Governor Folk. President D. R. Francis of the Trans Mississippi con- gress, Mayor Rolla Wells and Chair man Van Blarcom of the reception committee, being responded to by Pres ident John L. Hamilton of HoOpestown.

John G. Hardin the republican can didate for sheriff went into the race with an apparent handicap but he is making up for lost time. He is ac- quiring friends rapidly and there are reasons to believe that he will be the next sheriff. There is an erroneous impression that a candidate put on a ticket to fill a vacancy has much to overcome. Yet the only time it was ever done in Phoenix the candidate was overwhelmingly elected over a man who the democrats believed was the strongest candidate they could find. It may easily be so in the case of MT. Hardin, who has been known throughout the county for years as fearless. honest and capable man.

Besides the chief and his assistant
hardly a man Of the company escaped

hose from the street entrance of
the warehouse Many people had gath
flames, when. without any warning,
the fearful crash came. The air was
filled with flying timbers, bricks. iron
and nails. and the men at work on
the fire were hurled many feet, some
OF them clear across the street. Pieces
Of wood and iron were driven into
their bodies, but Bradley and Moran
suffered most.
Twenty five were picked up and car
ried to shelter, where doctors quickly
rendered all aid possible.
1t was evident at the first that Brad
ley and Moran had been fatally in
jured. Operations were performed late
this afternoon. but the physicians held
out no hopes.

Rathburn and G. B. Onyett, members
OF the company, were badly injured,
as were W. H True travelling man,

BRITISH PRESS COMMENTS
Tenor of Editorials Favorable to Stand
of President Roosevelt

of President Roosevelt
LONDON, Dec. 1S.-The British press,
editorially and through its correspond
ents in the United States. is paying
keen attention to American-Japanes
relations. Emassador Aokfs speech at
the American Asiatic Society, Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor Metcalf S
report on the San Francisco dispute
and President Roosevelts message on
the school situation in California.
The Tribune thinks President Roose-
velt's frmness and tolerance have had
their reward. while the weakness OF
NJ Stolypin, the Russian Premier, is a
as President Roosevelt's firmness and
popularity.
The Standard thinks that President
Francisco school question. as revealed
by his last message TO Congress, may
prove the best.
The Chronicle says: Let us hope
that President Roosevelt, who seldom
fails, will succeed even here
The Daily Telegraph at the conclu-
sion of a long editorial, says:
"The United States, under President
Roosevelt's steady leadership. is rising
to political greatness as rapidly as she
is breaking all records Of her own
amazing past. The sequel Of the voy-
age of their ships from the Thames
900 years ago represents not only the
greatest achievement in nation build

suits from small beginnings unique in

DELEGATION Is CAUTIOUS
CaIifernians at Washington Are Taking
No Vigorous Steps


WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s.-The Cali
fornia members of the House met this
afternoon for the purpose of discussing
the Chinese and japanese situation
with reference to proposed legislation
on the subject, but adjourned without
having taken any important action.
Representatives from Wyoming, Utah
and Colorado were also present. 1t had
been announced that a motion would
be made urging the committee on for
eign affairs to report to the House the
Hayes Japanese exclusion bill, but this
matter was not pressed. The attitude
OF the Representatives present from
other States than California is said to
have indicated a not very ardent desire
to act in harmony with the members
from that State and that they were
not desirous of being brought into con-
f1ict with the administration on ORR
entail matters
The sum total of the meeting was
that the subcommittee. consisting of
Representatives Hayes, McKinlay and
Kahn, which was selected at the last
session to look after the Chinese ex-
clusion legislation, was continued to
consider Asiatic immi grafton generally,
with special reference to exclusion.
While members of this sub committee
say that they Will stand firm for the
exclusion of Japanese and Chinese, they
are rather cautious in their comments
on the general subject.
Secretary Metcalf's report on the
Japanese school question was received
very conservatively by the California
members. They seemed to regard 1t
more as report on conditions existing
in San Francisco at the time of his
visit than as an expression of his views
| on the general question.
The opinions of the California dele
cation coincide with that of Repre-
sentative Hayes, who said
"Metcalfs report was not so bad as
1 had been told 1t would be. He may
have stated the facts correctly, but
even so, 1 scarcely think that he was
| warranted in using the strong Language
| with which he closed his report. In my
| opinion there is no necessity for in
| voking the Federal power to enforce
| the law.
The implication to the contrary ap-
pears to be an unnecessary .slur on Sar
Francisco and California. The reading
of the Presidents message occasionet
no special interest in either House OF
Congress, his expressions being re.
garded as reiteration of the views he
conveyed to Congress on, the japanese
situation In his annual message two
weeks ago..

HARDLY BEYOND
THE FIRST STAGE
Use of Denatured Alcohol in the
Arts and Industries at Pres
ent an Experiment.

Washington. Aug. Sin view of the re-
cent law of congress permitting the use
of alcohol in the arts and industries free
of tax, the bureau of manufactures of the
department of commerce and labor has
collated a number of reports of United
States consulates on the denaturing pro-
cesses. from which it appears that a SINH
lar law is in operation in Italy, France,
Germany Cuba, Belgium and other cOun-
tries. OF particular interest is the report
of Consul General Robert P. Skinner of
Marseiles, who says that the last word
in regard to the industrial uses of alcohol
has not been said, nor does he antici-
pate that American expectations in regard
to the general practicability as a motive
force are going to be at once realized
So imperfect does the French govern
ment regard the methods now in use for
rendering alconOl unfit for consumption or
of utilizing it as an illuminant, that prizes
have been offered to the person offering
the most advantageous ideas on the sub
ject Nevertheless the reports in the ag-
gregate recognize the possibilities of de-
natured alcohol based on the trials al
ready given it abroad
