CAUSE Of EARLY BLAZE
REMAINS UNDETERMINED
LtNEMEN DECIDE DEFECTIVE
ELECTRIC WIRING Is NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR FIRE

The cause of blaze which threat
ened for q time to destroy the Schen-
field building on Third street between
Railroad and Gold avenues at an early
hour this mOrning, is a mystery. Last
night it was thought that defective
electric wiring caused the fire but tlis
morning linemen made an inyestlga'
ton and decided that this is mis-
taken theory.
The fire started in the wall between
~ Ross's jewelry and filigree estab'
lishment and room in the rear of
the store where Mr.. Ross abides,
where an electric meter was placed
between the walls.
The damage to the building will
probably not exceed S125. The loss
will be definitely determined today by
an insurance appraiser, il being fully
covered by policies.
The lower floor of the building is
occupied by Mr. Ross jewelry store,
the Office of Justice of the Peace
George Craig and the Office and rooms
of n c. Nettleton.
The fire started about o'clock this
morning and but for the prompt re
sponse of the fire department, the
building would have been consumed.
Inmates of Mrs. Ortiz's rOoming
house on the second floor were great
ly alarmed over the fire, a number
OF whom appeared in the street half
dressed Some difficulty was expert
enced in waking several of the room
ers and the leaping flames caused
much excitement.
The Schentield building is one Of
Albuquerque's landmarks. About TWEEN
ty-five years ago II was one Of the
finest buildicgs in the city. Heirs Of
the late General J. A. Williamson
owned the property at that time
Workmen will begin repairing the
building Monday.

PARocHlAL SCHOOL BURNS
WITH LOSS OF $780, 200

Chicago, Dec. ga fire early to-
day practically destroyed the st.
Stanislaus parochial school at Noble
and Bradley streets. The building
was a seyen-story brick structure and
the school was attended by approx
mately 1000 day pupils, mostly of
Polish parentage. Not one of these
children was in the building at the
time of the outbreak of the fire.
Nearly 100 sisters in charge OF the
school work had apartments on the
top floor, but all escaped. The loss
Is estimated at $250000.

prised considerable money. diamonds
and personal effects to my wife"
Lawyers now raise the point whether
a woman can have a wife and wheth-
er, therefore, De Raylan's wills will
be held valid by q court. Recognizing
the seriousness Of this point, Mrs. De
Raglan has retained counsel to pro-
tect her interests.
Baron Schlippenbach's investigation
Of the career of his former clerk has
brought out the fact that De Rayian
until eighteen years old attended a
fashionable girls boarding school in
Moscow. De Raglan then had mani
tested no ambition to be a man and
was girl in outward guise and every
other respect. Her family is said to
be of gentle blood and some of her
relatives are to have held high posi-
tions under the government of the
cZar.

Even the men who are in favor OF
tariff revision admit that the time has
now gone by when it can be safely
undertaken from a political point OF
view. II the tariff were to be revised
at ALL it should have been done al
the long session of the present con
gress. In that way conditions could
have been adjusted TO the new rates
long before the next presidential
election, and there could be no ques
tiOn at that coming time whether
a change in the tariff would be good
or bad.

That Santa Claus passed by
When he hurried through here on journey last year
And often have wondered why;
For the little lame boy had no father you know
And his face st thin and so white

To pay him visit hat night
When looked at the gifts that old Santa had brought

But whenever thought OF the boy he forgot
II somehow kept making sad:

And couldn't help wondering why,
