FIRE QUITS
BIC BUILDING
American Plant at Indiana
Harbor Visited by
100000 Blaze.
FIVE CRANES ARE RUINED
Flames Threaten to Consume Other
Departments, But Firemen Man
age to Control Them.

A bad fire broke out in the plant of
the American Steel & Foundry company
at 2 o'clock Thursday morning. The
blaze was started by a heater in the
foundry department, and before its
ravages could be checked the damage
amounted to 100000. The most dam
age was done to the foundry, which
was practically a new building. being
not quite a year old. Five electric
cranes. valued at $4,000 each were
totally destroyed.
Loss Not Fully Covered.
Manager Wright stated this morning
that the damage was only partly
covered by insurance, but it is not GER
tain how much the total loss will be.
The fire destroyed everything in the
building which was inflammable and
much Of the iron was so badly twisted
that parts of the steel construction
will have to be rebuilt. Soon after
the starting of the fire the flames
spread to the other buildings adjoin-
ing and it seemed only matter of
time until the whole plant would be
consumed. Good work by the fremen,
however. prevented this. and the pat
tern shop, the contents of which are
Nalued at SZUO,O0O, was not touched
Place Inaccessible.
The place is so inaccessible that the
fremen and horses had long and
hard journey before they could reach
the fire. After they got there they had
a bad fight before them because of the
nature of the buildings and the dan
ger of working around the huge ma
chinery. They finally succeeded in con-
trolling it, however, and the great heap
of smoldering ruins of steel columns
and twisted machinery which was left
made an imposing sight.
There was no one in the building
at the time the fire broke out as the
plant had closed down for the Fourth
The ffremen were not able to leave the
smoldering mass until 9 o'clock, les
the flames break out afresh.
About 1900 men are thrown out o.
employment by the destruction of the
foundry.

But the stroke which caused the
trustees most embarrassment was when
the court required them TO post 1854

portion of her share of the proceeds of
property already sold by the trustees
without regard to her rights. The

Big Men Implicated.

The girl charges the trustees with
conspiracy and fraud. E. H. Gary,
head of the steel trust, and Frank J.
Loesch, president of the Chicago Bar
association and general counsel for the
Pennsylvania railroad were brought in
to the case on the charge that they had
knowledge Of the irregular proceed
ings. Frederick A. Marx, the attorney
and son-in-law of Loesch. was charged
with Misrepresentation. 1t was alleged
by Miss YeakIe that, although she new
er heard of him until two years later
he pretended to represent her at the
time the will was probated.
The bills story of the sale of the
site of Gary. Ind. by the executors to
the United States Steel corporation is
highly unsavory. William T. Smith
was sent TO New York by the executors
to negotiate the sale with President
Gary. However. Gary is alleged to
have caused Smith TO be replaced by an
agent of his own. and the purchase Of
1172 acres at $420 an acre was closed.
Miss YeakIe maintains that the land
sold 10 the steel trust for sfS9,390 was
actually worth s1.172.0O0.
