 Lost.

Newark N. J., June 3.-Three lives were lost and. thousands of dollars damage was done in fire which started shortly before 2 o'clock this morning in Newark Turn Verin hall, 1SS William street. The known dead are:
 Joseph Hoeneke, janitor of the Turn hall, burned to death in his apart ments.
 Mrs. Joseph Hoeneke, wife of the jonftor, overcome by smoke and burn ed to death.
 A child of the janitor, overcome by smoke and burned to death.
 The flames, famed by strong northeast wind, spread with great rapidity and for a time the confia- grafton was of serious proportions. Eight families occupied the floors above Turn hall, and the policemen were kept busy rescuIng women and children.
 The apartment occupied by Janitor Hoeneke and his wife and child was on the top floor of the building, which was of brick and four stories high. Only one stairway led from the jani- tors apartment to the street. and exit by that way was quickly cut off by the flames.
 Several other families occupied apartments in the building, but all ex- cept the janitor's family made their es- cape.
 The interior of the building was burned out. The financial loss was about $25,000.

FIVE PER CENT
Nearly Every Cotton Mill Em- ploye in New England Gets
 Raise in Wages
100000 ARE AFFECTED

Boston, June 3.--An advance in wages averaging five per cent went into effect to-day in practically every cotton mill in northern New England. Together with the increase of ten per cent which was given in the mills of southern New England and western Massachusetts last week and the ad- vance of five per cent, effective next Monday, in Lawrence and Chicopee, Mass. and Augusta, Maine factories, the upward wage movement to-day benefits narly 100000 operatives in the six New England states. In almost all cotton mill cities, towns and villages the new wage schedule is the highest ever paid.
 William .Southworth, secretary of the Lowell Mill Agents association, states that never before have the mills in his city paid such high prices for weaving, and that the mills have ad- opted a scale which equals all others in New England with one exception. The Lowell textile council accepted a five per cent advance, with the pro- viso that al classes of employees should share in the raise.
 The five per cent increase to-day be- came operative in the cotton mills of Lowell, mploying 17,500 hands, in the New Hampshire mills with more than 25,000, at all Maine mills, with one ex- ception, and in the Naumkeag mills of Salem, Mass. 150O hands, Lyman mills, Holyoke, 1900; Lancaster mills, Clinton, employing nearly 2,0O0 opera tiyes, and the Renfrew plant at Adams, which has 1000 on the pay roll.
 The New Hampshire mills aeffcted are in Manchester. Somersworth, Salmon Falls, Nashua, Newmarket, Exeter, Pittsfield. In Maine Lewis ton, Auburn, Lisbon Biddeford, Saco, Brunswick and Waterville share in the increase.

AUTH IN NEW HAVEN.
Only Survivor of a Party of Five on
 Way to Recovery.

New Haven, June 3.-Weak but rational after his terrible suffering from clinging hours to the overturned sloop Belle" off Norwalk yesterday Edward Auth of Brooklyn. the sole survivor of a party of five, was re- ported to be on the way to complete recovery at the New Haven hospital to-day. The only fear entertained is that the after effects of the exposure may bring on an attack of pneumonia but there are no signs as yet and the physicians think he will be able to go home within two days. Auth is not permitted to tell about his experi- ences. He remembers distinctly how. ever, the dropping off of one by one of his brother and three other com. panions after they had clung for a time to the sides the sloop.

Not Likely That Republicans Will
 Hold Convention at Columbus.
 COLUMBUS, O., June 3.-Secretary Taft held a conference with Charles P. Taft, his brother, and Arthur vorys, state superintendent of insurance, at the Chittendale hotel. It is understood, though not officially given out, that there will be no effort to have state convention called to settle Ohio's pref erence for the presidency.
 Senator Taft unwittingly stood d. rectly beneath a picture of Senator Foraker at an informal reception at the state house.
 When asked about the project of holding a state convention to declare the choice of the Republican party In Ohio for a presidential candidate Sec retary Taft said:
 ''The expediency of calling a conven- ton Is matter for those Syho have in- terested themselves in my favor to de- termine. I shall not settle anything. So my opinion would be of no value"

CLEVER POLICEMAN.
By Process of Deduction He Captures
 Two Criminals.

Deduction Is certainly an asset which every police constable should possess. But, unfortunately. 1t is a rare quality; and yet the following story will show that there is at least one police constable in Saltash, Corn wall. who possesses the power to an extraordinary degree.
 This policeman was walking beside the railway one Saturday afternoon In December, no doubt little thinking that his presence in such deserted neighborhood would prove of service.
 Nor would 1t have been. most prob ably, had not at that moment the shrill sound of whistle fallen upon the policeman's ears. Coming to- wards him at reduced speed was a train
 The policeman stepped from the track, and. pausing on his way, idly scanned the passengers sitting at ease within the compartments.
 There was the farmer seated in one corner smoking. and. 1t may be. viz orously discussing the latest market price of wheat; and there was the country-woman returning from her weekly journey to the market. But what interested the policeman more particularly-there. seated by the window of compartment. were two men attred in their working, clothes.
 Miners" reflected the constable, deducting the fact from their somber drsb apparel Then:
 Curious that they should be re- turning from their work at this hour of the day"
 Possibly one of them had been taken Ill. and the other had been sent to see him safely home?
 But no-they were in q smoking carriage, and that was hardly the compartment in which one would con yey a sick man
 Suspicion flashed across the police mans mind. It might lead to his bringing down ridIcule upon himself.
 Turning quickly about. when the carriage containing the two objects of his interest had scarcely passed him. the policeman broke into a run.
 First he passed one carriage. then another. Then the tender of the en- zine lay on his left. and then he was shouting and waving his arms. signal ing to the driver to stop. The signal vas answered. the train vas brought tU c standstilL
 Painting out his mission. the police man explained that there. were two men on board the train whom he wished to search
 Escorted by the guard the police man entered the carriage At the sight of him the two miners crouched rfsht back in their seats.
 Such an eventuality as this had never crossed their nfnds There, ,houinr up seemingly from nowhere, stocd a stern arm of the law
 u vas al up with them. and. with no show of resistance. the tvo nen allowed themselves to bs sezrched aud relieved of a ccnsiderzbis quzz- uty of copper vktch they had pur. ioinsd frun ths mine h whlch fhs1 were enptsgs1.

HANDS IT OUT
General Kuroki Distributed Money Right and Left al
 Chicago
EMPEROR FOOTS BILL

Chicago. June 3.-General Baron Kuroki distributed between $400 and $50 in gratuities at the auditorium annex before his departure last night for the west. He had been at the hotel week with his staff.
 This money that the general dis tributed came from the Japanese treasury. He is poor man, compara- lively, and the emperor pays all his expenses, figuring that it will all come back to Japan in increased friendly relations between the two countries.
 Baron Kuroki also remembered Lieutenant Morgan A. Collins of the central detail station who had been his bodyguard while he has been in Chicago.

Slavin, Rob- ert Dennison and Loren R. Carter were appointed appraisers. Toward the close of the meeting Attorney Bronson asked Attorney Minor il it was so that Louis NJ. Raffel had ob- tained as security from MT. Hoadley land worth about $l0.O00 on a loan for 5000, of which $1,oO0 was paid. Mir. Bronson underston that the land was worth more than the papers showed it to be, $10.00u, and he ask ed Referee Newton what steps the trustee should take in the matter. MT. Newton said he would advise tho trustee 10 bring an action to have the transaction set aside. Mir. Bronson said that was what he thought should be done, as the courts close for the summer very soon and the period of redemption of the loan expires in Aug ust.
 Mir. Bronson asked Attorney Minor if he would answer question or two about the matter and Mr. Bronson ask ed hin If the loan was glyeu by Mir. Raffel. MT. Minor answered tEat the loan had been made oil two certain pieces of property, and Mir Bronson said:
 Successfully evaded, and everybody laughed.

 "No doubt you did, hut you gave me no informatlon55 and there was another laugh.

NOT TIME YET
Bryan Has Moi Fully Decided Whether He Will Be a Can
 didate or Not
SECTION NO BARRIER

Richmond, Va, June 3.-William J. Bryan last night declared that the matter of section should no longer be a bar to a mans nomination for the presidency by the democratic party. He explained why he could not regard President Roosevelt as a democrat and said that under cer- tain conditions he probably would be candidate for the nomination, that is, if the party demand 1t and if he considered it for the good of the party.
 Regarding his candidacy for the democratic nomination for president, he said:
 "I have not felt it was time to de- eide that yet. The only condition on which 1 would consider the question of candidacy would be whether l could advance the cause of democra- cy by being candidate. No mans ambition should be considered on any other condition"
 At dinner last night were Gov ernor Swanson, Governor Warield of Maryland, Senator Daniel, MT Bryan and a dozen others. MT Bryan declared that President Roosevelt was neither wholly democrat nor wholly a republican. He is not con- sistently democratic or consistently republican" he declared.
 Speaking of the next democratic nominee for the presidency, MT Bryan said that the section in which candidate resided no longer played any part; that it was simply a ques- tion of finding man to fit the plat ford. He affirmed his previous state- ment that the question of setcion was no longer to be considered.

INSANE PATIENTS.
Superintendent Morris in Hartford
 He is Against the Proposed Bill.

Superintendent Morris of the town poor. and men holding similar posi- tions all over the state are in Hart ford to-day lobbying against the bill which proposes to raise the cost of maintaining inmates at the hospital for the insane from s2 week to sS. The measure has passed the senate and was starred to come up in the house to-day. The principal reason advanced in favor of the bill is that 1t would have a tendency to deter towns from sending people to Middle town who could be cared for at home. Under the present rates the insane retreat is the cheapest place in the state and as a consequence many are sent there who have no business In such an institution. This results in overcrowding and In many instances patients who are Insane cannot be &C., commodated simply because rooms that ought to be vacant are occupied by people who are troubled with nothing worse than bad headache. a little nervous prostration and in many cases the after effects of too much indulgences in the use of in- toxicating beverages.
