FIRE CAUSES PANIC IN
BIG OFFICE BUILDING
Blaze In Paint Shop in New York
Endaneers Western Union and
Plant of the Mail and
Express

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Fire in paint
shop this afternoon, seriously threatened
the Mail and Epress building and the
Western Union building. Soon after the
fire started the Western Union officials
ordered it's employees upon the upper floors
to descend to the lower floor.
The fire started in a five-story building
occupied by the F. o. Pierce Paint COM
pany, and spread rapidly through the
building.
There was an explosion of materials in
the paint shop which gave the fire great
headway and added - the alarm of
persons in the nearby building. There
was great excitement in the upper floors
of the Western Union building where
more than 1000 persons are employed,
many of them young women, but all
left the building in an orderly manner.
All of the employees of the several
large offices and business buildings con-
tiguous to the fire were dismissed, and
hundreds of hatless girls congregated
upon the sidewalks, many of them hyster-
ical. The fire was brought under control
at 2:25 o'clock though the flames were
still burning f1ercely upon the lower floor
of the building.

University Professor Warns lnstltu=

of Undergraduates

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-"More than one
university Is today in danger of being
misunderstood because a few trust
magnates are giving millions of dollars
to them,'' declared Henry McCracken,
chancellor of New York university, in an
address delivered at the summer school
of the university today.
"Such universities are in danger of be-
ing reckoned the purchased servants of
a narrow caste. The sure and efficient
way to escape this suspicion is for them
to rid themselves of idle undergraduates
who make no end of trouble, and to de-
vote their money and energy to giving
instruction and inspiration to the public
teachers throughout the land. In a word,
let the university cease to serve so
largely the Improbable few and rather
serve the productive and industrious
many
II admit that the other policy of Sc
curing a multitude of undergraduates,
among them the sons of the very rich.
and of catering to their tastes, builds up
endowments most surely. But patriotism
commands to give aid to the men and
women on whom rests the weighty re-
sponsibility of assimilating the millions

REFUSES TO MOVE
AUTO FROM RAILS
WILLIAM COSBY SITS SMOKING
TILL ARRESTED
Claims Motorist Has as Good Right
to Block Streets as TroIleys.
Delays Service Half
an Hour

William Cosby, one of the best known
automobilists in Los Angeles, was ar
rested at Fourth and Hill streets last
night. While the cars lined UP for blocks
he sat smoking in his auto and refused to
move.
According to Patrolman Bonar, the ar
resting officer, Cosby held up the entire
Santa Monica and Redondo street car
lines, while trying to prove that an auto
mobile had as much right to block the
road as a street car.
Cosby claimed that he had frequently
been delayed by the trolley companies
using the streets as stations, and decided
to give the corporations a taste of their
own medicine. The service was blocked
for thirty minutes
After being taken to the police station
he was released under S25 bail.

MARION, o., Aug. 5.-After being
buried under twenty-five tons of hay for
a week without food or water, during
which time bloodhound and hundreds
of searchers passed within few feet of
her Miss N A. Black, a Pittsburg school

local sanitarium, was found yesterday.
She probably will recover.
She was discovered near the old hay
barn where all trace of her was lost
Tuesday.
Miss Black says she took a stroll into
the country and when dusk was falling
started home. 1t was chilly and she was
but thinly clad. She entered a barn, got
inside the hay and fell asleep. Tuesday
morning the owner of the barn began
filling the barn with new hay and by
night it was full to the rafters.
Yesterday, almost crazed by thirst, the
young woman burrowed out of the barn,
but was SO weak she fell where she was
found.

SANTA FE FREIGHT DERAILED
AFTER WILD RUNAWAY
Wreck in Cajon Pass Carries with II
All Telegraph Lines and commu-

S:rvice Demorallzed

BY Associated Press.
SAN BERNARDINO. Aug. 5-A Santa
Fe extra westbound freight is burning to-
night on the north slope of Cajon pass,
having been piled in heap at the foot
of a steep grade after wild dash of
several miles down the San Bernardino
mountains.
The wreck carried with it all telegraph
lines, cutting off communication.
Division officials here have been unable
to receive information as to the casualties
among the trainmen.
The train, made up at Barstow, con-
sisted of heavily loaded merchandise cars
from the north and east consigned to
points along the coast division.
Several miles above 1fesperia the en-
gineer cut loose from the train to take
water. The train was standing on grade,
held by air brakes.
BY some mshap the air became released
and the heavy train shot down the grade
gaining momentum with each revolution
of the wheels. and before the trainmen
could get the hand brakes set on the first
few cars the heavy train was laundering
down the mountain with sharp curves
threatening derailment every half min
ute.
1t is supposed the trainmen leaped be-
fore the crash. AS the train jumped the
track on curve it tore up the roadbed
and a long line of telegraph poles were
snapped off like so many matchsticks.
AS the train piled up flames broke out
in the wreckage and at midnight word
was wired from Summit, several miles
this side of the scene, that the entire
train was a mass of flames.
Division Superintendent Hubbard, who
left Los Angeles late tonight by a special
train for the wreck with other officials
of the road, passed through here at mid
night and the wrecking crew left from
here, following light engine which car
ried a crew of linemen who are rushing
repairs on the telegraph line. All Salt
Lake and Santa Fe east-bound trains are
held up here indefinitely, while west
bound traffic is tied UP at Barstow.

'BUYA DA PEANUTA,
BETTER THAN MEAT
Berkeley Professor Says Ten Cents
Worth of This Food Contains Six
Times the Amount of Energy
in Porterhouse Steak
Ey Associated Press.

Ey Associated Press.
BERKELEY, Aug. 5.-Prof NJ. 10.
Jaffa, who has been scientist connected
with the state university for thirty years,
in bulletin just prepared for the United
States department of agriculture says
that 10 cents worth of peanuts contain
more than twice the protein and six times
the amount of energy in a porterhouse
steak.
These conclusions were arrived at after
exhaustive studies and experiments car
ried on in Berkeley with students and
others as subjects. While admitting that
peanuts are not so easily digested as
meat, Prof. Jaffa says that is due to the
fact that they are often not sufficiently
mastlcated, and further to the fact that
they are often eaten when not needed, as
after hearty meals or late at night

the north knows that to say he will do a
certain thing up there Is madness. have

Repairs Delay Him
Asked if he had ample funds for carry

replied:
II will say one thing, and that is the
delays in repairs on the boilers of the

RIVAL RAILWAY MAY
ENTER SAN FRANCISCO
Effort Being Made to Amend Charter
So That Another Company Could
Use United Railroads
Tracks
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5.-Pasadena,
Los Angeles and possibly eastern capital
lists, 1t is said, are making an effort to
enter San Francisco with new street car
company in opposition to the United Rail-
roads, and the basis of their plan Is q
charter amendment permitting them to
operate on the United Railroads own
fines.
The proposition is to have that section
of the city's charter in relation to fran
chises changed to read so that an OPP
position street railway may be allowed to
run its car thirty-one blocks instead of
twelve over tracks covered by franchises
held by another company. The charter
now permits the lesser figure.
Should the proposed amendment be put
through new company entering the San
Francisco field would be required to do
practically no construction work other
than the building Of its cars and a house
to put them in, and 1t would be able to
run to all parts of the city.

Choate and James Brown Scott of the

American proposal for the establishment

The Hague, which is to come up for dis
cussion tomorrow before a special COM
mittee.
The institution of permanent court is
now considered definitely assured, even
If the difficulties arising from the ap-
pointment of the judges should prevent
the adhesion of some of the smaller
countries. The court will be established
by the great powers, America and Great
Britain alone having enough cases to pre-
sent to keep the court busy for several
years.
The influence and the reputation of the
court through it's sentences, it is believed,
will gradually attract the countries
which might refrain from taking part in
it's establishment.
