The annual fire loss 10 Boston is now
about 81 ,500,0 900, while in the average
European city Of equal population the
FIRE loss will be found seldom to range
over $4,000. And this is in spite Of
the fact that the daily number Of fires
will be about the same, and in spite
OF the usually marked superiority OF
American fire.Gghting facilities. The
real reason for the difference is to be
found in the methods of building con.
struction. While American cities
have permitted the erection Of fire
traps" on every hand, Continental
municipal regulations limit the height
and area Of buildings, the character OF
the building materials, and generally
enforce adequate frc.resistive con-
struction throughout all city build.
ings.
In such cities as Havre, Rouen, Mi
Ian, Rome, Brussels, Antwerp, Leeds,
Sheffield and Bristol, every fire in the
year 1890 was confined to the building
in which 1t originated. In Dresden,
Florence, Vienna and other cities,
every fire was confined to the floor on
which it originated. These cities
have a population of from 100000 to
100000
In Hamburg, out OF total OF 6S2
fires in 1890, $50 were confined to the
floor where they started, $50 to the
building, while only ten fires extended
TO the adjoining property. A coDflag-
ration, or the extension Of fire beyond
the Immediately adjoining property,
had not been known since 1912. And
we must bear In mind that many
OF these results are obtained In spite
OF what Americans would consider the
most ridiculous fire. fighting facilities.
Mr.. Freitag says that the San Fran
cisco disaster proved that the steel
frame buildings are practically i'm
mune from earthquakes, and also that
fireproof buildings are Of little use I'M
less they stand In fireproof city. 1t
Is estimated that the annual fire loss
in the United States now represents
a tax OF 1925 a year per family OF popu-
lation. In 1904 the total loss by fire
In the States was $3.50, OOO, 900, or an
average daily loss Of s630,OOO.

In the, face Of the fact that the

now charge as little as cents a line
for city or county printing, that grum-

which THE REPUBLICAN secured the

people. A glance over the Journals
bills filed In the City Recorders Office
and the County Clerks Office, bills
covering the past fifteen or twenty
years, will show that The Journal peY-

and yet OUR price is "UNREASON-

the price paid for the same class of

Hyde Park.

HYDE PARK. July l5.-One of
the heaviest rains that we ever
witnessed passed over Hyde Park Fri
day afternoon. Tho Of short duration,
a great amount Of rain fell. There
was heavy wind at the time, and
the rain came in torrents. In less
than fifteen minutes the bitches on
each side of the streets were full Of
water and an irrigating stream run
ming down the street. Heavy wheat
and timothy hay was tangled up in
great shape. Corn, cabbage, tomato
vines, and other garden stuff was
knocked fat upon the ground. Quite
number OF men were caught out in
the fields and got a good drenching.
Considerable damage was done to hay
in the fields; but IL was good thing
for the beets.
The program for the oath celebra-
tion was read in meeting tonight.

for when such persons as George S.
DANES. Mrs. McQuarry, Fred BALKAN,

something will be doing. There will
not be parade this year.
Ex-Judge Carbon, OF the juvenile
court and Luclen Farr, OF Logan,
were missionaries to Hyde Park and
occupied the stand at the services this
afternoon. Judge Carbon warned the
young against the evils OF cigaret
smoking and of strong drinks, and
asked the parents TO set good Ak
amples to their children. Mr.. FAR
spoke OF the many Evidences existing
in Mexico and South America Of a
great people having once dwelt there
which gave ample testimony Of the
truthfulness Of the book Of Mormon.

FUNSTON GOING TO CUBA.
Called to Island Republic By Secre-
tary Taft-Win Sail From Tampa

Washington, Sept. 20.-Gen. Fred
erick Funston, in obedience to orders
from Secretary Taft, arrived here to-
Day on his way to Cuba. No addition
al orders have been issued regarding
Gen. Funston since the first one call
ing him here, and he Will proceed TO
Cuba with as much expedition as
possible. It was found that he could
not leave Tampa until Sunday night,
and so he has delayed his departure
from this city until Saturday. Gen.
Funston says that further than his
orders from the secretary, he knows
nothing Of the duty for which he is
destined. Gen. Funston is particu-
lac.y acquainted with the conditions
existing before the Spanish war and,
it is pointed out at the department,
is prepared to give the secretary more
information than any other man in
the army on that subject.
Naturally the visit Of Gen. Funtson
revives the discussion about his prob
able command in Cuba in case the
Unired States inter7enes and sends an
army to Cuba, but the general had
nothing to say on that matter.

Destroyed Monday Night.

Tht country residence of DR.. .Ianies
C. Spann, near Catchall, was burned
Monday night, September H., about
9 o'clock, together with all its con-
tents. Dr. Spann estimates his loss
to have been approximately $4,000,
with only partial insurance.
DR.. Spann, who was in the house
at tie time, having not yet returned
to the city for the winter, says that he
has no idea how thc fire originated.
When discovered it was burning on
the roof and second floor, and with
the high wind prevailing at the time
it was im1 ossible to do anything to
stay the progress of the flames or
even save the furniture. The furni-
ture which was valued at four to five
hundred dollars was uninsured.

TEXAS SCENTS A TRUST DEAL.

Galveston, Tex, Sept. 21.-Ihe OF
fer of the Attorney General to accept
$4,000 as a compromise of the rail-
road and express companies, trust
suits has aroused a strong protest
from the commercial interests of the
State, who declare this trif1lng with
the laws of Texas for political pur-
poses.
The railroads and express companies
were proved guilty Of violation OF the
Texas antitrust laws in about sixty
cases under the monopoly contracts
existing between them. The penalties
aggregate near s5,ooO,Ooo, neverthe-
less no change has been made in the
trust contracts, nor does the $4,000
compromise propose any change IN
existing conditions. The commercial
interests point to the many trust suits
pending. and the fact that the State
is now working on deficit which IN
sixtv days will amount to s1,0OO,00o'
and that the trust laws should De

Negro Dead Since Saturday Found In

From the Daily TENN Sept. 70.
Telephone connections with Priva-
teer, have been broken since Monday,
so it was only by sending in mes
senger on a wheel early this morning
that Coroner Flowers could be sum
rnoned there to examine dead body
found in a lonely house. Mike Peter
son. the negro in question had been
missed from his work Saturday after
noon, but his absence had not ere
ated much OF a stir as it was thought
he had likely enough gone away, as
negro workmen so frequently DO
However this morning one OF the
neighbors was passing the house
where Mike had been living alone,
and was led to investigate more close
", noticing a deathly smell. Opening
the door he saw the repulsive sight
that caused Coroner Flowers to be
summoned.
Not knowing what might be re-
ouired, the coroner took Deputy
Sheriff Rafield and DR.. H. NJ. Stuck
ey with him and drove to Privateer,
reaching the negroes cabin at twelve
o'clock. They found the door open
and looked in, The cabin is Of two
rooms with a door between. In the
doorway was a bed and on the bed,
Mike Peterson's body swollen beyond
all recognition. His head was as big
as a half bushel measure, his body
W. xIce its usual dimensions, and
h feet and legs were shapeless mas
ses of decomposed flesh. He had been
a small, negro, but he looked now as
if he would have weighed three hun
dred pounds. A frightful odor filed

tell enough without such aid. There
were, no signs of violence in the house
and there was no reason to imagine
that violence had been done the dead
man. He lived some distance from
his neighbors, was in bad health and
had. simply died in his bed and re-
mained undiscovered until the grue-
some find of this morning. Here fol-
low the results Of DR.. Stuckey's ex-
animation:
.This is to certify that have this
day examined the dead body Of Mike
Peterson. I find the body in state
Of decomposition, but no evidence OF
violent death. From the position of
violent death. From he position OF
his body and from the history of his
case, I would say he died from natu-
raj causes, most probably heart dis
ease, as I am informed he had fre-
quent attacks of asthma.
