Thrilling Scenes at a Fire.


As the result OF fire in the University
Building in Kansas City, Mo-, yester-
day, six persons are missing and their
bodies are probably buried in the ruins,
one was killed by leaping from fifth
story window, and at least fifteen persons
we're injured. The property loss is
s25O,OOO.
The fire started in q basement store
room, close to the only elevator in the
building. Ten minutes after the fire
broke out the flames began shooting up
the elevator shaft and all outlet save by
The FIRE escapes was shut off. The hslls
quickly filed with dense, sufocating
smoke, and ten minutes later, when the
first FIRE apparatus arrived on the scene,
people crowded almost every window ap-
pealing for help, while scores of others,
mostly women and girls, filled the fire
escapes, and were scrambling to the
ground.
When the alarm of fire was first sound
ed, fifty society women, who were hold
ing a meeting in the Athenseum rooms,
thought that it was a joke, and they
made no effort to leave. A moment
later, as the room filled with smoke,
there was wild scramble for the exits.
All the women escaped with little hurt
by using the Locust street fire escape.
There wero many thrilling escapes.
Miss Helen Barnes, who had a studio on
the fifth floor, stood at a window calling
for help while flames played within 6
few feet of her. A ladder failed to reach
the window. A 6remen stretched out
an iron rod and the woman slid down
the rod TO the ladder.

sisters Attempt suicide.

Mrs. Henry Stullz and Miss Nellie
Greenstreet, sisters, of Richmond, made
an attempt at suicide yesterday morning
by jumping over the side OF the Old Do
minion steamer Berkley, and were saved
from drowning by the timely wstchtal-
ness of the steward of the boat and a
colored waiter who caught their gowns
Just as they disappeared over the side.
The two women, who are little more
than girls. left Richmond Sunday night
aboard the steamer Berkley in company
with John Miller and George Wright.
The registered in the ships passengers
list as husbands and wives, it is alleged.
They remained in Norfolk until Tuesday
night when they returned to Richmond
Oh the steamer.
Just as the passengers began to leave
the ship at Richmond the two women
saw their father waiting for them at the
gsngplank, ard they rushed back through
the saloon, up to the deck, and over
the rail before any one could stop them.
Just as they were dropping over the
side the steward saw what they were
doing, and, calling negro waiter,
grabbed their dresses. The women
fought desperately, and it WAS only
after prolonged struggle that they were
taken 10 q state room.
Miller ran from the steamer aud es-
capped, but was captured and hour later oy
the police.
Mrs. Stultz and Miss Greenstreet be-
came frantic when they learned that they
would have to be locked up, anc refused
to come out of the state room in which
they had been placed. Mrs. Stultzin par
ticular fought desperately to keep the
policemen away. Miss Greenstreet faint
ed soon after she started for the carriage
which was waiting.
Miss Greenstreet, besides her father
and mother, had to face her fance before
she WIS taken to the police station. After
the first salutation the young woman
burst into tears and declared that she had
not realized the enormity of her ofense
ghen she left the city with Wright. She
begged forgiveness. Theyoung man said
he torgave her. He said that he would
marry her as soon as the trouble was
Dver, and that he did not believe that
the girl was conscious Of what she was
doing when she left the city with Wright.

music hall only recently opened. and
was much more sensational and one
might say sanguinary than had been
intended by the programme. The two
women were tight-rope dancers and were
supposed to perform series of clever
feats on a rope stretched across the
stage, and under which there was y big
cage with two lions The top OF the
cage was left open so that The lions
could the women performing over
same time enjoy the delightful sensation
of terror. The lions as rule took no
interest in the feats of the tiehi-rcpe
walkers and sometimes even dozen of
while they were In progress. Perhaps
they could not see the sense OF the ex-
cned from their Indifference. The rope
snapped In twain In the middle Of n per

screamed with terror and tainted. After
considerable efforts the remaining woman
was finally rescued from the cage, Her
arms and breast were so terribly clawed

POLITICS IGNORED At
LAND CONVENTION
No Disposition to Antagonize
Roosevelt at Coming Land
Convention.

DENVER. Colo, June Gov. Henry
A. Buchtel, who issued the call. in ac.
cordance with resolutions adopted by
the General Assembly of Colorado, for
the public lands convention, to be held
in Denver June IS, 10 and 90, declared
today that there shall be no politics
injected into the gathering If he can
prevent it. When he sent out the call
he distinctly and emphatically stated
that the purpose Of the convention was
in no way to antagoniZe President
Roosevelt and his administration with
reference to the public land question
The programme prepared for the con-
ycntion, by a committee of which
United States Senator Teller is chair
man, provides for the shaping of a more
liberal policy to be submitted to Con
gress for the enactment of laws which
will make for the development Of the
Western States by bringing more peo-
pie to them TO take up lands and till
them.
The American National Stockgrowers
association. whose last convention in
dorsed the grazing and forestry policies
of the Administration will be factor
in the coming convention.
Secretary T. w. Tomlinson of tho
association has been making canvass
by letter of the members on the ques
tions to come before the convention.
Some of the questions he put to them
were:
"Do you favor some form of govern
ment control Of the public grazing lands
under regulations that Will fit the con.
ditions for your district9'
"What arrangements will be best
suited to your section-an absolute
lease of the fencing rights, or n permit
to run live stock on the public lands
with proper protection7'
Are YOU familiar with the system Of
general grazing of live stock on forest
reserves, and do you approve it7 If
not, what arc your objections and what
would you suggest 2'f
To 1000 letters Mr.. Tomlinson has
received nearly 200 replies, and they
are favorable TO some plan of govern
ment control and regulation of all pub
lie lands in nine cases out Of ten Most
of them want the Government leasing
system with fencing privileges. Some
want grazing permits from the Govern
ment. Ninety per cent of them believe
that government control will give the

PAR|SIANS ENRAGED
AN FORMER EMPRESS
French People Excited Over
Court Decision in Favor
of Eugene

PARIS, June 2.-The ill-feeling of
the French masses toward the former
Empress Eugeuie, widow of Napoleon
III, has been strikingly illustrated
The ex-Empress, who since her return
from exile has divided her time be-
tween the otel Continental In Paris,
whence she could look over the gardens
Of the Tuilleres. where she once reigned
supreme, and the watering resorts OF
tho Riviera, some months ago brought
suit TO recover large number of artl-
cles now housed in the French national
museums, on the ground that they had
been the "personal" property Of her
husband and were of . no historic and
little intrinsic value. The case at
tracted no attention al the time and
practically went by defanlt, but when
the court decided in the Empress S ia
vor tremendous outcry was raised
The popular newspapers took the mat
ter up; the Empress was called an - ad-
ventures, - and many of the old stories
prejudicial to her fame were revived.
The Matiu, under the caption Au
Voleur' (''Stop Thief! y investigated
the Empress S claim and found that
the articles given her by the court in
oreigns and foreign states-priceless
tapestries, paintings and other objects
of art. and. what most aroused the ire
of the populace, some relics of the great
Napoleon. The experts employed by
the paper appraised the value of the
"pluuder' at close to n million dollars.
| The result Is that the Government. IN
Difference TO the clamor, has formally
entered an appeal against the decision
